GALL  CURE 

For  GALL  BACKS  and  SHOULDERS,  CRTJPPE 
SORES  and  SADDLE  GALLS  there  is  nou 
superior. 

The  horse  CAN  BE  WORKED  AS  USUAL. 

For  BARBED  WIRE  CUTS,  CALKS,  SCRATCH- 
ES, BLOOD  POISONED  SORES  and  ABRASIONS 
OF  THE  SKIN  it  has  no  equal. 

It  is  very  adhesive  and  easily  applied  to  a  waterj 
as  well  as  a  dry  sore. 

Its  use  will  absolutely  prevent  BLOOD  POISON 
ING.  In  this  respeot  there  is  no  Gall  Cure  offeree 
which  oan  justly  even  claim  to  be  a  competitor. 
We  placed  it  on  the  marked  relying  wholly  on  its 
merit  for  success,  and  notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
comparatively  little  has  been  done  in  the  way  of 
advertising  the  salesof  1900  were  100  per  cent  great- 
er than  the  aggregate  salesof  Gall  Cure  preceding 
that  year.  This  increase  was  entirely  due  to  Us 
MERITS,  and  from  it  we  feel  justified  in  sayingthat 
it  is  THE  GALL  CURE  OF  THE  30TH  CENTURY. 

It  is  a  quiok  and  sure  cure  for  those  troublesome 
skin  cracks  under  the  fe  ->ckwnich  injure  and  often 
lay  up  race  horses.

into  which  for  twenty-fl  e  years  carriages  have  driven.  This  space  of  over  a  quarter 
of  an  acre  has  recently,  by  the  addition  of  very  handsome  furniture,  rugs,  chandeliers 
and  tropical  plants,  been  converted  into  a  lounging  room— the  FINEST  IN  THE 
WORLD. 

The  EMPIRE  PARLOR— the  PALM  ROOM,  furnished  in  Cerise,  with  Billiard  and

Most  Convenient  Location  in  the  City— all  add  much  to  the  ever  increasing  popularity 
of  this  most  famous  HOTEL.

Millard  Sanders  at  Memphis.  Tenn  ,  recommended  "Save-the  Horse"  to  me 

three  years  ago.    I  used  it  on  a  bad  tendon  on  which  I  had  used  about  every  known 

treatment  without  result.    After  two  weeks  treatment  with  "Save-the-Horse"  I 

could  see  improvement  and  from  then  on  the  horse  went  sound  and  has  never 

taken  a  lame  step  since.    I  also  used  it  on  Thoroughplns  and  Windpuffs  and  found 

it  worked  equally  as  well  as  it  cleaned  the  enlargements  off  entirely  and  they 

have  never  come  back     I  have  used  every  known  blister  and  the  fire  iron,  but 

have  never  had  anything  to  compare  with  "Save-the-Horse  "     I  buy  it  from 

Becker  &  Wickser  of  Buffalo  andof  Bruce  &  Co.  of  Memphis.  Teno.,  in  half  dozen

I  had  a  nine-year-old  stallion  lame  over  a  year.    He  was  not  worth  $10.    I  used 
your  "Save-the-Horse"  and  he  has  gone  sound  ever  since.    I  have  driven  him 
twenty-flve  miles  in  one  day  and  would  not  now  take  $250  for  the  animal.

San  Francisco,   Saturday,    January   7,    1905 

SEVENTY- FIVE  THREE-YEAR-OLDS  are  paid 
up  on  and  eligible  to  Breeders  Futurity  No.  2, 
the  three-year-old  trotting-  and  pacing  divisions  of 
which  are  to  he  decided  this  year  at  the  meeting  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  TrottiDg  Horse  Breeders  Associa- 
tion. This  makes  the  value  of  the  second  stake  much 
more  than  the  first  one  and  instead  of  the  three-year- 
olds  trotting  and  pacing  for  $2000  and  $1000  as  they 
did  last  year  the  amounts  will  be  nearer  $2700  for 
trotters  and  $1300  for  pacers.  No  stake  ever  inaugu- 
rated on  the  Pacific  Coast  has  been  so  popular  with 
breeders  as  this  one  and  the  fact  that  the  stake  money 
is  deposited  by  Treasurer  N.  T.  Smith  in  reputable 
savings  banks,  where  it  draws  interest  until  the  time 
of  the  races,  gives  the  stake  a  standing  among  horse- 
men of  the  Pacific  Coast  which  no  other  stake  has. 
The  fact  that  the  sixth  payment  was  made  January 
2d  on  seventy-five  three-year-olds  eligible  to  Breeders 
Futurity  No  2  means  that  there  will  be  seventy-five 
three-year-olds  in  training  by  another  month  for  this 
stake  and  that  fact  alone  is  worth  mentioning.  The 
harness  horse  industry  in  California  is  in  a  very 
healthy  condition,  despite  the  fact  that  our  circuit  in 
the  past  few  years  has  been  a  small  one.  Trainers 
and  owners  are  finding  that  there  is  money  in  train- 
ing and  fitting  horses  to  sell,  and  that  while  there  are 
not  many  meetings  in  California  those  held  are  well 
patronized  and  the  racing  clean  and  good.  If  there 
could  be  a  circuit  arranged  this  year  of  seven  or  eight 
good  meetings  it  would  be  sufficient  to  give  all  who 
have  horses  in  training  a  chance  to  race.  The  fact 
that  seventy-five  three-year-olds  have  been  paid  up 
on  for  one  stake  shows  that  the  horsem3n  are  ready 
to  do  their  part  toward  making  a  successful  circuit. 
All  that  is  needed  now  is  for  the  associations  to  get 
together  and  form  one,  and  announce  dates  and 
purses.     It  should  be  done  at  once. 


will  be  laid  out  inside  the  trotting  track.  The  horse- 
men of  San  Francisco  are  greatly  pleased  over  the 
outlook  as  the  new  track  is  certain  to  be  one  of  the 
most  popular  recreation  grounds  in  the  rity . 


THE  COMPARISONS  which  Editor  Hervey  of  the 
Chicago  Horse  Review  has  been  making  in  that 
excellent  journal  recently  between  trotting  and  run- 
ning meetings  have  aroused  the  antagonisms  of  many 
of  his  contemporaries  who  want  to  see  "running 
methods"  introduced  in  the  trotting  meetings.  Editor 
Hervey,  however,  has  to  our  mind  much  the  better 
of  the  arguments  and  his  page  editoral  in  the  edition 
of  December  27th  showstheconditions  on  the  running 
tracks  as  they  exist  in  nearly  all  the  principal  eitie9 
of  the  United  States  where  running  meetings  are 
held.  Racing  is  not  a  sport  on  the  running  tracks  of 
America,  but  a  business.  The  old  plan  of  holding 
meetings  for  the  pleasure  of  the  sport  has  heen- 
abolished.  Jockey  Clubs  are  now  formed  for  profit, 
and  unless  the  meetings  pay  dividends  to  the  stock- 
holders they  are  discontinued.  There  is  not  a  running 
association  in  America  that  could  continue  a  meeting 
over  two  weeks  in  the  interest  of  true  sport.  We 
hope  that  running  methods  will  never  be  adopted  on 
the  trottings  tracks,  as  they  would  kill  the  sport  to  a 
moral  certainty.  The  Horse  Review  is  correct  in  its 
opposition  to  the  adoption  of  the  methods  which 
have  made  the  running  tracks  famous.  More  power 
to  the  pen  of  its  editor  in  the  good  work  he  is  doing. 


THE  NEW  SPEED  TRACK  and  athletic  grounds 
in  Golden  Gate  Park  will  be  finished  within  a 
year.  The  $20,000  raised  by  contribution  of  the 
horsemen  and  people  interested  in  athletics  in  San 
Francisco  has  been  turned  over  to  the  Park  Com- 
missioners, who  will  expend  a  like  amount  on  the 
work  which  has  already  begun.  It  is  expected  that 
the  new  grounds  will  be  finished  within  a  year,  and 
■  ready  for  use.  The  track  will  be  a  regulation  oval, 
sixty  feet  in  width  and  the  infield  will  be  fitted  for 
polo,  football  and*  other  sports,  while  a  bicycle  course 


A  CALIFORNIA  CIRCUIT  of  harness  racing 
**  should  be  organized  immediately  without  any 
reference  to  what  course  the  Legislature  will  take  in 
regard  to  district  fairs.  Santa  Rosa,  San  Jose,  Pieas- 
anton,  Woodland.  Stockton  and  Fresno  could  form  a 
circuit  that  would  d  raw  all  the  best  trotters  and  pacers 
in  California.  If  such  a  circuit  could  be  formed  imme- 
diately and  programs  announced,  big  entry  lists  would 
be  received.  All  the  horsemen  want  to  race  in  Cali- 
fornia this  year,  but  they  don't  want  to  wait  three  or 
four  months  to  know  where  the  meetings  will  be  held. 


IN  ANSWER  to  a  correspondent  we  will  state  that 
*•  the  fastest  record  for  one-quarter  mile  running  is 
2l\  seconds,  held  by  Bob  Wade,  a  four-year-old,  and 
made  at  Butte  Montana,  August  20,  1890.

Pony  racing  as  conducted  by  the  California  Polo 
and  Pony  Racing  Association  at  the  private  course  of 
Chas.  W.  Clark  at  San  Mateo,  has  become  the  most 
popular  winter  sport  on  the  Coast.  Owing  to  the  wet 
weather  of  last  week  the  program  set  for  last  Satur- 
day had  to  be  postponed  until  Monday  of  this  week,

enjoyed  every  event  on  the  program.  Five  races  were 
decided,  Mr.  Rudolph  Spreckels'  ponies  winning 
three.  Charles  Dunphy  had  two  winning  mounts,  R. 
J.  Dunphy  two  and  Frank  Skinner  one.  Another  ex- 
cellent program  will  be  decided  this  afternoon.  The

John  Lance,  who  has  trained  and  driven  many 
horBes  on  the  Northern  Circuit,  writeB  us  from 
Cheney,  Washington,  under  date  of  December  14tb, 
that  the  weather  up  there  had  up  to  that  date  been 
like  California  weather,  without  a  freeze.  His  horse 
Sam  Bowers  2:11,  pacing,  has  taken  to  trotting,  and 
has  shown  that  he  can  trot  in  2:15  or  better,  and  will 
probably  be  raced  through  California  next  year  if  the 
circuit  is  arranged  so  the  northern  horsemen  can  get 
back  to  the  North  Pacific  Circuit.  Mr.  Lance  says  he 
may  be  down  here  soon  Besides  his  own  subscription 
he  sent  that  of  Mr.  Eugene  Taj  lor,  of  Pampa,  Wash- 
ington, who  he  says  is  a  new  man  in  the  harness  horse 
business  and  a  good  one. 


The  racing  men  ought  to  try  the  Hart  Apartments 
this  winter;  3  and  4  rooms,  private  baths,  telephone, 
steam  heat,  first  class.     750  Ellis  street. 

Strike! — if  they  don't  give  you  Jackson '-

Seen  on  a  Visit  to  Red/Bluff. 
■       *.  • 

>  SPORTSMAM-^g^vieg-  just  returned 

from  a  visit  to  my  former  Jrtime,  R*ed    Bluff,  after  an 
absence  of  several  years,  jihoVgbt  a  few  observations 
g  to  the  barntfsV'hbrse  breeding  interests  o' 
that  In.  ..    ';.'■'         ie   interesting   to  your 

readers.  In  the  n'rVf^lace,  it  is  a  pleasure  to  be  able 
to  state  tbat'the  business,  is  in  a  most  flourishing  con- 
dition, au«l\v^?y  horseman  I  met  in  Butte  county  an 
enthusiastic  "one,  and  of  the  kind  that  stay  through 
goo&^pd'bad  report  and  at  whose  feet  the  poisoned 
. £nvws  of  malice  and  hatred,  shot  by  the  knockers, 
fa-11  harmless. 

The  Red  Bluff  track,  as  all  horsemen  know,  is  one 
of  the  best  in  the  State.  The  District  Agricultural 
Society  has  failed  to  bold  a  fair  here  for  several  years, 
and  in  consequence  the  grounds  and  track  have  been 
neglected  and  allowed  to  fall  somewhat  into  decay, 
but  thanks  to  the  trottiDg  horsemen  here  who  came 
to  the  rescue  of  the  track,  it  is  now  in  first  class  con- 
dition and  many  horses  are  now  being  trained  and 
worked  over  it.  Those  wide-awake  and  enterprising 
horsemen  P.  W.  Frary.  I.  V.  Andrews  and  "Prince 
L. -Kinney  Lou  Rowley"  have  the  track  in  charge 
and  their  names  are  a  guarantee  that  the  grounds 
and  the  track  will  be  kept  in  first  class  shape.  Besides 
these  gentlemen,  there  are  R.  Ramsey,  Robert  Free- 
man, Robert  Burress,  District  Attorney  Gill,  Henry 
Witfeld,  F.  Coleman  and  several  others  whose  names 
I  cannot  just  now  recall,  who  are  enthusiastic  owners 
or  trainers  of  harness  horses. 

Mr.  Rowley  is  the  man  who  trained  and  developed 
the  great  Kinney  Lou  until  the  stallion  was  sold  to 
Budd  Doble  and  who  also  trained  Prince  L.  2:17J  and 
won  three  races  within  seven  days  with  him  at  the 
State  Fair  of  1903.  Mr.  Rowley  has  four  in  training, 
all  by  the  Doble  horse.  They  all  trot,  favor  their 
sire,  and  are  very  promising. 

F.  Frary  has  in  training  one  by  Sidney  Dillon  that 
is  entered  in  the  Occident  and  Stanford  Stakes,  and 
will  certainly  stand  for  part  of  the  money,  barring 
bad  luck.  He  has  also  a  Kinney  Lou  yearling,  dam 
by  Dictatus,  that  is  a  fac  simile  of  his  sire  and  a  very 
likely  colt.  He  is  the  property  of  District  Attorney 
Gill. 

J.  V.  Andrews  has  three  that  are  all  working  fast. 
One  is  a  chestnut  gelding  that  he  calls  Pomp  Morgan 
that  is  by  Waldstein  out  of  the  dam  of  Prince  L. 
This  fellow  has  shown  very  fast  work — I  will  not  state 
just  how  fast,  but  money  getting  speed.  He  also  has 
Miss  Bessie  by  Gossiper,  dam  by  Anteeo,  a  full  sister 
to  Lady  Fair  2:1 7 J  tbat  is  the  real  thing,  as  she  is 
much  faster  than  her  sister  and  will  be  a  money 
winner  Also  King  S.  by  Altamont,  dam  Queen  S. 
that  is  warm  goods.  This  young  stallion,  although 
only  three  and  a  half  years  old,  was  so  well  patronized 
that  his  owne.-s  had  to  turn  mares  away  last  spring. 
There  is  also  here  the  stallion  Lorin,  by  Nazote 
(own  brother  to  Azote  2:04f ),  dam  Lizette  that  was 
bred  at  Palo  Alto.  He  is  the  property  of  F.  W. 
Frary  and  well  patronized. 

The  good  stallion  Escort  is  owned  by  Henry  Wit- 
feld, the  leading  blacksmith  of  the  town  and  with  no 
superior  in  the  State  Escort  is  doing  and  will  do  his 
full  share. 

In  this  connection  I  wish  to  state  that  while  these 
three  stallions  are  the  only  harness  stallions  in  this 
vicinity,  I  notice!  there  was  an  entire  absence  of  that 
obnoxious  despicable  thing  called  knocking,  and  the 
result  is  that  all  these  horses  are  doing  a  fine  business, 
and  good  feeling  and  fellowship  exists  between  the 
three  owners.  I  sincerely  hope  that  owners  in  other 
parts  of  the  State  will  adopt  this  plan  to  the  lasting 
benefit  of  this  great  industry. 

There  are  in  this  county  many  who  are  breeding 
from  one  to  a  doz^n  good  mares  each  year,  and  nearly 
all  the  best  stallions  on  the  Coast  are  represented. 
The  broodmares  for  instance  on  the  Andrews  place 
represent  the  blood  of  Anteeo,  Altamont,  William  L. 
Almont  33,  Gossiper,  Vermont  Blackhawk,  Wald. 
stein,  and  George  Wilkes,  while  on  the  Frary  place 
Whips,  Director,  Escort,  Sidney  Dillon,  and  Steinway 
are  represented  and  on  the  D.  Cone  place  McKinney, 
Don  Marvin,  Biy  Bird,  Kinney  Lou,  and  others. 
These  are  but  a  few,  the  majority  of  the  breeders 
here  having  only  begun  during  the  past  few  years, 
'  but  they  are  all  breeding  along  tho  best  modern  lines, 
and  using  up-to-date  methods  in  development.  I  have 
no  hesitation  in  predicting  that  in  time  this  will  bo 
one  of  the  best  speed  producing  points  in  California, 
and  in  concluaion  let  me  say  that  being  a  great 
admirer  and  lover  of  the  trotter  and  pacer  my  visit  to 
Red  Bluff  has  been  an  inspiration  to  me. 

Respectfully,        A.  G.  ANDREWS,

Educating  Trick  Horses. 

When  the  German  trick  horse  "Hans"  created  a 
sensation  among  lovers  of  horses  by  performing  all 
kinds  of  tricks  in  the  Way  of  answering  questions, 
counting,  etc.,  it  was  claimed  by  his  trainer  that 
"Hins"  performed  entirely  by  virtue  of  his  own  brain 
and  without  any  assistance  from  bis  trainer.  Practical 
horstmen  ridiculed  the  idea  that  a  horse  could  add  up 
sums,  tell  the  time,  etc  ,  as  they  are  well  aware  tbat 
horses  reason  "from  cause  to  effect"  and  learn  tricks 
as  the  result  of  what  "has  happened,"  not  from  what 
might  or  will  happen. 

Everybody  has  seen  the  circus  horses  answer  the 
usual  questions  "Yes"  and  "No"  by  bowing  or  shaking 
their  heads,  and  to  the  uninitiated  it  certainly  looks 
very  clever  but  it  is  really  very  simple.  Incidentally, 
it  may  be  mentioned  that  high-strung  horses  learn 
quicker  than  the  quieter  kind,  and  one  that  has  a 
"cunning"  streak  in  him  is  always  an  apt  pupil.  To 
teach  the  horse  to  say  :  'Yes"  and  "No"  take  a  short 
stick,  about  two  feet  long,  and  drive  a  tack  throughit 
at  the  end  so  the  point  sticks  out  just  about  a  quarter 
of  an  inch.  Standing  on  theleft-hand  side  of  the  horse 
at  his  shoulder,  ask  him  a  question  to  which  you  want 
the  answer  "No"  and  then  raise  the  stick  so  you  can 
touch  the  horse  on  the  crest  of  his  neck  about  half- 
way between  his  ears  and  withers  with  the  tack  pointy 
Do  not  hit  the  horse  on  the  neck,  but  place  the  end  of 
the  stick  there  and  press  until  the  horse  feels  the  prick 
of  the  tack  point;  this  will  make  him  &hake  his  head 
just  as  he  would  to  dislodge  a  fly.  Immediately  he 
does  so,  remove  the  stick,  dropping  your  hand  behind 
you  so  the  stick  is  no  longer  visible  to  the  horse. 
Repeat  this,  asking  a  question  each  time  to  which 
"No"  is  the  correct  answer,  but  being  sure  not  to 
move  your  hand  to  raise  the  stick  until  after  you  have 
asked  the  question.  After  a  few  times  the  horse  will 
shake  his  head  when  the  stick  touches  his  neck  and 
before  he  feels  the  prick  of  the  tack  point  because  his 
experience  has  taught  him  that  the  raising  of  the 
stick  is  followed  by  a  prick  on  the  neck  which  nature 
has  taught  him  to  get  rid  of  by  shaking  his  head.  A 
few  lessons  and  it  will  only  be  necessary  to  raise  the 
stick  a  trifle  alter  asking  the  question  and  the  horse 
will  shake  his  head,  and  repeated  lessons  will  enable 
you  to  stand  away  in  front  of  the  horse  and  ask 
questions,  and  by  raising  the  hand  apparently  to 
brush  a  fly  from  your  own  neck  or  remove  a  cigar 
from  your  mouth,  make  the  horse  shake  his  head  to 
answer  "No  "  Does  the  horse  understand  what  you 
actually  say?  He  does  not,  and  the  best  proof  is  that 
the  horse  will  answer  "No"  on  the  signal  being  made 
regardless  of  what  is  said  to  it.  Ask  him  the  question 
in  German,  Russiao,  Japanese,  Chinese  or  any  other 
language  and  on  the  signal  being  made  the  horse  will 
apparently  answer  "No;"  actually  he  does  not  answer 
the  question  itself  but  answers  the  signal. 

To  teach  the  horse  to  a*  swer  "Yes"  by  nodding  or 
bowing  his  head,  instead  of  touching  him  on  the  neck 
touch  him  on  the  breast,  low  down,  nearly  between 
the  forelegs,  and  with  many  horses  it  is  necessary  to 
give  quite  a  pressure  of  the  tack  point  at  first  to  cause 
them  to  nip  at  '  the  bite, "  for  that  is  actually  what 
they  do,  but  in  so  doiDg  they  bow  their  head  and  ap- 
parently answer  "Yes. "  Two  things  are  important 
in  teaching  these  tricks;  never  make  a  motion  of  the 
signal  until  after  the  question  has  been  asked,  for  if 
made  as  the  last  word  or  two  is  spoken,  the  horse  will 
answer  too  quickly  and  spoil  the  effect;  and  directly 
the  horse  shakes  his  head  or  bows  remove  the  signal 
stick,  dropping  the  hand  out  of  sight. 

In  the  sama  manner  the  horse  can  be  taught  to 
count  by  pawing  with  his  forefoot  and  from  the 
original  signal  of  a  tap  on  the  leg  between  tbe  knee 
and  pastern  the  signal  can  be  reduced  until  a  very 
6light  movement  of  the  trainer's  finger  or  foot  will  be 
sufficient.  This  trick  practiced  to  a  point  where  the 
horse  will  paw  at  the  least  noticeable  signal  on  the 
part  ol  the  trainer  will  enable  you  to  make  the  horse 
answer  all  questions  where  it  is  necessary  to  answer  in 
figures,  such  as  asking  the  time,  etc.  If  the  answer 
should  be  ten  minutes  past  three,  make  the  horse  paw 
ten  times  then  give  a  fling  of  his  head,  easily  taught 
on  the  same  p  inciple  as  the  bow,  and  then  paw  three 
limes. 

To  teach  the  horse  to  pick  up  numbers,  etc.,  you 
must  first  teach  it  to  grab  at  a  white  rag  or  handker- 
chief and  this  can  be  done  by  holding  a  pin  between 
the  fingers  at  the  same  time  holding  the  white  hand, 
kerchief;  touch  the  horse  with  the  pin  on  the  point  of 
the  shoulder  and  he  will  grab  at  "the  bite"  and  catch 
tbe  handkerchief  between  his  teeth.  Let  him  take 
the  handkerchief  and  he  will  Boon  learn  to  grab  at  it 
whenever  the  signal  indicates  a  prick  on  theshoulder. 
The  horse  has  then  to  be  taught  to  travel  slowly  along 
sideways  and  stop  instantly  atthesignal  of  command. 
Everybody  has  seen  the  circus  horse  pass  slowly 
along  the  outside  edge  of  the  ring,  suddenly  stop,  paw 
and  uncover  the  hankerchief,   then   pick  it  up  and 


bring  it  to  the  trainer.  This  is  a  combination  or 
rather  a  series  of  several  tricks  quickly  following  each 
other.  The  horse  had  been  taught  to  grab  the  hand- 
kerchief when  he  sees  it;  be  has  also  been  taught  to 
paw,  he  has  been  taught  to  move  around  tbe  ring  and 
to  stop  when  signalled  to,  and  the  picking  up  of  num- 
bers is  the  combination  of  tricks  followed  out  at  one 
spot.  He  moves  slowly  past  the  numbers,  stops  at  the 
signal  of  his  trainer  at  the  right  one  and  on  another 
signal  grabs  the  number.  It  looks  very  clever;  it 
looks  as  if  the  horse  actually  knew  the  number,  but 
the  cleverness  all  exists  in  teaching  the  horse  to  recog- 
nize the  slightest  possible  signal  and  to  answer  it 
promptly.  The  trainer  could  take  half  a  dozen 
photographs  of,  say,  the  last  six  presidents,  or  of 
six  noted  horses,  or  any  other  six  subjects  and  make  the 
horse  pick  up  any  one  he  might  select  by  merely  men- 
tioning the  name  of  it.  He  might  ask  for  the  picture 
of  the  mare  that  made  the  fastest  trotting  race  record 
of  the  year  and  signal  the  horse  to  pick  the  picture  of 
Sweet  Marie. 

The  attempt  to  make  "Hans"  answer  questions 
when  blindfolded  proved  total  failures,  and  it  was 
because  he  could  not  see  the  answers  in  the  shape  of  ■ 
the  proper  signals  for  them.  Actually  the  horse  does 
not  understand  language  of  any  sort,  but  he  does 
readily  learn  to  connect  certain  sounds  with  certain 
signals  or  actions  so  will  answer  the  rounds  before  the 
signals  are  given  or  actions  made.  In  this  manner  a 
horse  can  be  taught  to  start  when  the  word  "Whoa" 
is  given  and  stop  on  the  sound  of  "Get  up."  Substi- 
tute for  these  words  the  words  "Carrots" for  Whoa 
and  Potatoes  for  "Get  up,"  and  you  can  teach  ahorse 
to  start  at  the  sound  of  Potatoes  and  stop  when  Car- 
rots is  spoken.  The  principle  is  the  same  all  the  way 
through.  The  horse  reasons  from  cause  to  effect  and 
only  acts  as  the  result  of  past  experiences,  not  present 
consideration  or  future  calcualtions. — Exchange. 


A  Molasses  Diet. 


The  trucking  horses  used  by  a  big  sugar  refining 
firm  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  are  such  fine,  big,  sleek  look- 
ing animals  that  their  passage  through  the  streets 
attracts  attention,  and  horsemen  generally  believe 
that  the  cost  of  keeping  them  in  such  condition  must 
be  considerably  above  the  average,  says  the  Sim. 
This  is  not  the  case,  however,  for,  in  the  stable  of  the 
firm  an  experiment  of  mixing  molasses  with  the  feed 
has  been  made  and  the  plan  has  been  found  to  be  not 
only  extremely  economical  but  also  of  exceptional 
value  in  producing  nourishment.  It  cost  only  thirtj- 
four  cents  a  day  to  feed  tbese  fine  horses  which  range 
from  1700  to  1800  pounds  in  weight.  This,  according 
to  experts,  is  from  twenty  to  twenty-seven  per  cent 
cheaper  than  the  old  system  of  maintaining  the  stock 
on  oats  and  hay  entirely. 

This  is  what  the  sugar  refinery  horses  eat:  In  the 
morning  they  get  a  quart  and  a  half  of  Indian  corn 
meal,  a  quart  of  wheat  bran,  seven  pounds  of  cut  hay 
and  a  quart  and  a  half  of  su^ar  house  syrup  which 
remains  after  all  possible  crystallization  of  sugar  has 
taken  place. 

As  noon  each  horse  gets  four  or  five  quarts  of  oats 
and  the  night  ration  is  tbe  same  as  that  in  the  morn- 
ing, except  that  five  pounds  of  loose  hay  is  placed  in 
the  stall  in  addition. 

The  hygienic  value  of  the  molasses  feed  formu'a  is 
proved  by  an  experiment  which  was  made  on  two 
rundown  horses  that  had  been  kept  upon  ordinary 
rations.  Their  weights  were  890  and  925  pounds  when 
they  were  put  on  the  molasses  system,  and  both  soon 
showed  improvement  in  weight  and  health.  At  the 
end  of  six  weeks  the  smaller  had  gained  200  pounds 
and  the  other  was  181  pounds  heavier. 


Novel  and  Profitable  Trip. 

Determined  to  improve  his  wife's  health  by  plenty 
of  pure  air  and  out-of-door  life,  B.  A.  Richardson, 
who  has  just  arrived  at  Belle  Plaine,  succeeded  in  ac- 
complishing his  mission  in  a  novel  and  unique  manner. 
The  family  had  been  in  the  State  of  Washington  for 
some  time,  and,  longing  to  get  back  to  Iowa,  tbey 
started  with  a  horse  and  wagon  from  Spokane  July 
22,  drove  all  the  way  to  Belle  Plaine,  got  home  in 
time  to  start  at  once  for  Evanston  to  spend  Thanks- 
giving, and  Mrs.  Richardson  has  fully  recovered  her 
lost  health,  thanks  to  the  long  and  extended  wagon 
ride.  The  distance  traversed  is  nearly  2500  miles. 
The  health  of  Mrs.  Richardson  began  to  improve  as 
soon  as  the  family  had  been  on  the  trip  two  weeks, 
and  today  she  is  enjoying  the  health  of  her  girlhood, 
the  best  of  her  life. — Des  Moines  Register  and  Leader.

Notes  and   News,    m 

Neva   Simmons  2:11},  the  big  winner  of  1901,  has 
been  bred  to  The  Bondsman,  sire  of  Grace  Bond  2:09}. 


Mr.  Frank  G.  Jones,  president  of  the  Memphis 
Association,  has  quite  a  string  of  good  ones  wintering 
in  charge  of  that  wizard  of  the  reins,  Ed  Geers,  which 
he  will  campaign  the  coming  season.  Among  others 
he  has  the  great  young  trotter,  Tom  Axworthy  2:085, 
and  Baron  Grattan  2:04}. 


Lou  Dillon  and  Major  Delmar  will  have  one  of  their 
match  races  next  year  over  the  two-minute  track  at 
Readville.  

An  offer  of  $3500  was  lately  refused  for  a  yearling 
colt  by  Moko,  dam  Silicon  II.  2:15|,  owned  by  Clem 
Beachey,  Jr.  

As  to  Billy  Buch  to  2:07},  he  turns  out  to  be  the 
greatest  snow  horse  in  PittsDurg,  and  Mr.  Callery  got 
him  for  a  song. 

Geers  won  three  more  races  than  any  other  Grand 
Circuit  driver  this  past  season.  Snow  and  Spear  were 
his  nearest  competitors  with  fifteen  each. 


The  State  Fair  Grounds  at  Sacramento  are  rapidly 
being  dismantled  and  there  will  not  be  one  of  the  old 
buildings  left  standing  by  the  last  of  this  month. 


There  were  more  new  2:10  trotters  produced  in  1904 
than  ever  before,  but  the  number  of  new  2:15  trotters 
was  smaller  than  in  a  number  of  previous  seasODS. 


A  syndicate  is  said  to  have  been  formed  in  a  Kansas 
town  for  the  purpose  of  buying  Direct  Hal  2:04}, 
when  the  Hamlin  horses  are  disposed  of  this  winter. 


President  McDoel,  of  the  Monon  Route,  who  owns 
among  other  horses  Allerson  2:081  and  Irish  2:08}, 
has  leased  the  Idle  Hour  Farm,  near  Macon,  Ga.,  for 
winter  quarter.  


Two-Year-Old  Brother  to  Sweet  Marie 
Owned  by  J.  C.  Adams,  Phcenlx,  Arizona 

It  is  now  reported  that  Lon  McDonald's  new 
employer  is  R.  L.  Williams,  a  wealthy  Boston  sports- 
man, and  that  Lon  has  signed  for  three  years  at  a 
salary  of  $7000  per  year. 

Charles  Marvin,  instead  of  wintering  as  usual  at 
Lexington,  Ky.,  will  this  winter  try  Selma,  Ala.  He 
has  two  or  three  Futurity  candidates  in  his  stable  and 
will  band  all  his  energies  toward  getting  them  in  first 
class  shape. 

W.  D.  Grand  is  quoted  as  saying  that  the  reckless 
emasculation  of  full-made  trotting  stallions  to  make 
heavy  harness  horses  has  exhausted  the  supply  and 
that  the  breed  is  now  so  nearly  wiped  out  he  doubts 
if  it  can  be  revived.     

Fifty-seven  stallions  were  advertised  in  the  stallion 
directory  printed  in  our  Christmas  number.  Out  of 
these  any  breeder  should  be  able  to  pick  some  that 
will  do  to  mate  his  mares  with.  Fifteen  of  the  fifty- 
seven  were  sired  by  McKinney. 

The  stallion  Stoneway  was  omitted  from  the  list  of 
standard  sires  printed  in  our  Christmas  number.  He 
is  by  Strathway  and  is  the  sire  of  My  Way  (3)  2:22, 
and  Stonelita  2:20.  Stoneway  is  owned  by  Geo.  W. 
Kirkham  of  Exeter,  Cal. 


W.  L.  McDonald,  of  Concord,  Cal.,  has  purchased 
from  John  Ott  of  Pacheco,  the  chestnut  colt  Count 
Valensin  by  Sidmoor,  dam  Belle  by  Alcona  730,  she 
the  dam  of  Gaff  Topsail  2:16  and  Enoch  2:121.  The 
colt  is  a  fine,  large  promising  trotter,  and  is  entered 
in  Breeders  Futurity  No.  3. 


Mr.  S.  C.  Walton,  the  well-known  trainer  of  Fresno, 
Cal.,  writes  to  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  to  the 
effect  that  the  credit  of  training  the  two-year-old 
Athasham  2:20  is  due  him  instead  of  Mr.  Zibbellas 
stated  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.  This  paper 
simply  stated  that  Mr.  Zibbell  trained  and  drove 
Athasham  la9t  year,  which  is  correct,  [t  is  true  that 
Mr.  Walton  trained  the  colt  and  drove  him  in  his  first 
race,  but  afterwards  Athasham  was  turned  over  to 
Mr.  Zibbell,  who  gave  him  all  his  training  thereafter 
and  gave  him  his  record  of  2:20  in  a  race  won  in 
straight  heats  at  Santa  Rosa. 


The  honor  of  marking  the  first  new  standard  per- 
former of  the  year  1905  is  claimed  by  Jacob  Brolliar, 
who  gave  the  horse  McGee  by  Robert  Basler  2:20,  a 
paciDg  record  of  2:24}  on  Monday,  January  2d,  in  a 
race  over  the  track  of  the  Tulare  Fair  Association  at 
a  regularly  advertised  meeting. 


A.  H.  Merrill,  of  Danvers  Mass.,  has  sold  the  Cali- 
fornia bred  gray  trotting  gelding  Who  Is  It  2:10},  by 
Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16},  son  of  Guy  Wilkes  2:15},  dam 
Lassie  Jean  (dam  of  Dolly  Marchutz  2:19}),  by  Briga- 
dier, to  H.  M.  Clark,  Springfield,  Mass. 

The  horsemen  of  Lewiston,  Me.,  have  organized  a 
driving  association.  It  is  proposed  to  hold  a  number 
of  matineeB,  with  silver  cups  for  prizes,  and  it  may  be 
decided  to  hold  a  few  meetings  with  money  prizes  of 
sufficient  size  to  attract  outside  horsemen. 


Owners  of  hoppled  pacers  will  have  a  chance  to  get 
rid  of  them  in  England.  Recently  John  Splan  stated 
that  he  had  an  order  to  ship  several  of  them  to  Eng- 
land if  he  could  get  them  at  the  right  prices.  Prince 
Alert  1:59J  will  make  the  class  fashionable  when  he 
gets  to  going  over  there. 


W.  A.  Clark,  Jr  ,  who  owns  the  string  of  trotters 
and  pacers  that  Ted  Hayes  trained  at  Pleasanton  last 
winter  and  are  now  at  Los  Angeles,  is  not  the  first 
member  of  the  family  to  race  a  stable  in  the  Grand 
Circuit  His  father,  Senator  Clark,  owned  Major 
Wonder  2:09|,  Faust  2:18},  Conde  2:19},  and  others 
who  went  dow  the  big  line  a  dozen  years  ago. 


Reports  say  that  Ed  Geers  will  give  up  his  Lexing- 
ton avenue  home,  at  Buffalo,  and  move  his  family  to 
Memphis.  For  some  twelve  years  the  Geers  family 
have  resided  in  Buffalo,  but  since  the  trainer  has 
severed  his  connections  with  Village  Farm,  he  has 
been  considering  locating  at  Memphis. 


Mr.  R.  P.  Lathrop,  head  of  the  Lathrop  Hay  Com- 
pany at  Hollister,  spent  several  weeks  in  Los  Angeles, 
during  December,  attending  to  the  delivery  of  over 
2000  tons  of  hay  to  the  firm's  patrons  in  Southern 
California.  Hollister  hay  is  the  principal  diet  of  Los 
Angeles  horses  during  this  season  of  the  year. 


Two  sales  of  saddle  geldings  at  $1000  each  are  re- 
ported from  Kentucky.  AJonzo  McDonald,  the 
trainer  of  trotters,  bought  Monte  Marks  Jr.,  by 
Monte  Marks,  dam  Belle  Harris  by  Black  Squirrel, 
and  F.  Proctor,  Utica,  N.  Y.,  bought  Fred  Proctor. 
The  former  is  of  the  five-gaited  variety  and  the  latter 
of  the  three. 


A  correspondent  at  Pleasanton  sends  us  the  infor- 
mation that  Al  McDonald  last  week  worked  the  green 
mare  by  Zombro  2:11  out  of  a  mare  by  Woolsey  (own 
brother  to  Sunol  2:0S1),  a  full  mile  in  2:16,  last  half  in 
1:05},  last  quarter  in  311  seconds.  This  mare  is  one  of 
the  best  gaited  trotters  ever  seen  on  the  Pleasanton 
track  and  acts  like  another  Sweet  Marie. 


Sandy  Smith  came  up  from  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels' 
Aptos  Farm  the  Christmas  week  with  a  bay  gelding 
by  Cupid  out  of  Gracie  S.,  the  dam  of  Dione  2:07}, 
that  he  took  to  Pleasanton  where  it  is  now  in  Col.  J. 
C.  Kirkpatrick's  string  and  being  traini  d  by  James 
Thompson.  The  gelding  is  a  pacer  and  very  promis- 
ing. Sandy  reported  that  the  three-year-old  chestnut 
stallion  by  Dexter  Prince,  dam  Galata  by  Stambcul, 
second  dam  Jenny  the  dam  of  Hulda  2:081,  that  is  yet 
at  Aptos, has  grown  into  one  of  the  handsomest  horses 
ever  foaled  on  the  farm.  Mr.  Spreckels  has  been 
offered  $3000  for  him,  but  declined  the  offer. 


McKinley  2:29  was  accidently  omitted  from  Mc- 
Kinney's  list  of  new  standard  performers  that  appeared 
in  the  Christmas  number  of  this  paper.  McKinley  is 
owned  by  Supervisor  John  W.  Mj,rtin  of  Tulare 
county  and  his  record  was  made  at  the  Tulare  fairlast 
year  after  but  two  months  work.  As  McKinley  is  161 
hands  high  and  weighs  over  1300  pounds  Mr.  Martin 
believes  he  i3  the  fastest  big  trotter  in  California. 


Grattan  Boy  2:08,  the  trotting  stallion  which  won  so 
manyrecesin  the  Grand  Circuit  for  the  late  R.  H. 
Plaut  some  years  ago,  is  dead  in  Louisiana  A  resi- 
dent of  that  State  purchased  him  at  the  sale  of  Mr. 
Plant's  horses  in  Lexington,  but  later  resold  him. 
Though  he  has  only  a  few  colts  old  enough  to  race 
and  not  many  all  told  Grattan  Boy  was  very  promis- 
ing as  a  sire  and  his  death  is  surely  a  great  loss  to 
Louisiana. 

Interna  30,838,  the  stallion  by  Diablo  2:09}  out  of 
Biscari  by  Director,  reduced  his  record  to  2:17  over 
the  Billings,  Montana,  half-mile  track  last  year.  At 
the  Montana  State  Fair  at  Helena  last  fall,  Dr.  C.  D. 
Crutcber drove  him  a  mile  in  2:16  hitched  to  a  95- 
pound  jog  cart.  Inferna  was  taken  back  all  the  way, 
but  paced  the  last  quarter  in  311  seconds.  He  will  be 
another  2:10  pacer  for  Diablo  when  he  hits  a  good 
track  and  is  given  his  head. 

Says  last  week's  Trotter  and  Pacer:  "General  Nelson 
A.  Miles  was  one  of  the  conspicuous  drivers  on  the 
Speedway  last  Friday.  He  was  the  guest  of  Mr. 
Nathan  Straus  and  drove  the  black  pacer  Tony  M. 
2:14}.  The  General  got  into  the  brushing  game 
readily  and  was  not  headed  in  several  in  which  be 
figured.  He  had  four  goes  with  Mr.  Thomas  Lynch's 
Bessie  Duffy  and  W.  C.  Campbell's  Susie  G.,  and  won 
each  of  them  in  driving  finishes." 


Frank  E.  Wright  of  Sacramento  has  removed  his 
string  of  horses  in  training  to  the  Woodland  track, 
and  they  arrived  there  last  week  in  charge  of  Si 
Hess,  his  able  assistant  The  pacer  Kelly  Briggs  2:09} 
and  the  trotter  H.  D.  B.  2:13,  both  good  winners  on 
the  Pacific  Coast  circuit  in  1904,  are  in  the  string, 
besides  five  or  six  others.  It  is  probable  that  nearly 
all  the  trainers  heretofore  usiDg  the  Sacramento  track 
will  move  their  strings  to  Wonriland. 

James  Nolan,  a  trainer  and  driver  who  was  in  the 
employ  of  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  for  several  years, 
died  in  this  city,  last  week,  after  a  short  illness.  Mr. 
Nolan,  who  was  known  to  many  of  his  friends  as 
"Red"  on  account  of  his  complexion,  was  a  good 
horseman  and  during  his  life  had  trained  many  that 
took  fast  records.  He  was  in  the  employ  of  Mr.  A.  B. 
Spreckels  after  leaving  Palo  Alto,  but  left  Aptos 
Farm  to  go  to  Cape  Nome  during  the  Alaska  mining 
excitement  some  years  ago. 

Mr.  L.B.  Spurgcou  of  Wheatland,  Cal.,  asks  for 
the  pedigree  of  the  pacing  horse  Costello  that  Vet 
Tryon  campaigned  in  California  and  Montana  some 
years  ago.  Costello  is  a  black  horse,  according  to  the 
Year  Book,  and  has  a  record  of  2:24},  made  at  Port- 
land, Oregon,  July  10,  1891.  He  was  foaled  in  1883, 
and  bred  by  J.  B  Haggin  of  Sacramento.  His  sire  is 
Echo  462,  son  of  Hamble'onian  10,  and  his  dam  Bessie 
Turner,  also  called  Bessie  Taylor,  the  dam  of  Sam 
Lewis  2:25.  She  was  by  St.  Clair  656.  The  second 
dam  of  Costello  was  Rio  Vista  Maid  by  John  Nelson 
187. 


The  Cleveland  Road  Drivers'  Association  has 
arranged  for  the  use  of  Euclid  avenue,  between  Case 
and  Sterling,  a  distance  of  nearly  a  mile,  for  a  winter 
speedway.  There  are  no  crosswalks  or  intersecting 
streets  in  th6  section  of  Euclid  avenue  mentioned,  and 
as  the  same  is  to  be  kept  free  from  unnecessary  traffic 
for  two  hours  every  afternoon  during  the  sleighing 
season,  the  horsemen  of  Cleveland  are  preparing  for 
an  excellent  winter  sport.  Secretary  Geo.  A. Schneider 
of  the  Road  Drivers'  Association,  will  be  in  charge  of 
the  speedway  and  matinees  will  be  held  Saturday 
afternoons,  with  ribbons  to  be  awarded  the  winners 


It  was  at  Kalamazoo,  Mich.,  that  Flora  Temple  first 
put  the  trotting  mark  below  2:20,  on  Oct.  15,  1859,  and 
for  many  years  after  the  famous  Michigan  village  was 
a  big  center  of  trotting  sport.    Then  bad  times  came

Dam  by  Sweet  Marie  2:04J£.  with  Foal  at  Foot  by  Ob  So  2:!5K 


and  it  dropped  out  of  the  circuit.  But  the  old  love 
for  the  trotter  was  not  dead,  it  was  only  sleeping,  and 
Kalamazoo  will  return  to  its  early  love  and  again  be- 
come a  harness  horse  center.  A  number  of  prominent 
citizens  have  organized  and  built  a  first-class  mile- 
track,  equipped  with  modern  grandstand  ard  stables, 
and  two  harness  race  meetings  will  te  given  in  1905. 
It  is  known  as  Recreation  Park.  The  matinee  game 
will  also  be  a  prominent  recreation  feature  of  Recrea- 
tion Park. 


One  of  the  handsomest  as  well  as  one  of  the  best 
bred  young  McKinr  ey  stallions  in  California,  Ed  Mc- 
Kinney, will  be  located  at  Willows.  Colusa  county, 
this  spring,  in  charge  of  James  Sullivan,  the  well 
known  horseman.  Ed  McKinney's  dam  is  the  great 
broodmare  Nona  Y.  2:25,  that  is  the  dam  of  Nance 
O'Neil2:09},  Chas.  David  2:15  and  Lady  Rowena  2:181 
by  Admiral  48S.  son  of  Volunteer  55  His  second  dam 
is  Black  Flora,  dam  of  Sister  2:191.  Perihelion  2:25 
and  Nona  Y.  2:25  and  Huntress  2:28  A  McKinney 
stallion  with  the  individuality  Ed  McKinney  has,  and 
with  such  great  broodmares  in  his  pedigree  should 
get  a  large  patronage  in  any  community,  especially  at 
$25  the  season. 


In  Russia  the  progeny  of  the  American  trotting 
stallion  and  the  Orloff  mare  is  esteemed  faster  than 
either  the  true  Orloff  or  the  American  article  as  it  has 
bsen  brought  in  the  land  of  the  Czar.  For  instance 
Alvin  2:11,  Baron  Rogers  2:09|,  Nominee  and  many 
others  thac  might  be  named  did  service  in  this 
country  before  exportation  and  yet  none  of  them  left 
any  progeny  of  any  note  whatever.  However,  in 
Russia  as  soon  as  mated  with  the  Orloff  mares  all 
these  three  stallions  have  begotten  phenomenal  speed 
and  staying  qualities.  A  son  of  Alvin  won  the  great 
Russian  Trotting  Derby  of  1903,  another  son  won  the 
renewal  of  the  same  race*  in  1904  and  the  older  one 
proved  the  best  four-year-old  of  the  past  season. 
Indeed  all  the  latest  and  best  Russian  records  have 
been  set  by  these  half-bred  American-Orloff  trotters 
and  now  the  Russian  breeders  are  asking  themselves 
what  would  happen  if  their  best  mares  should  be  bred 
to  our  best  stallions  and  the  progeny  developed  under 
American  conditions.  Two  four-year-olds  bred  in 
this  cross  took  records  between  2:11  and  2:12  this 
summer  and  one  got  a  two-mile  record  in  a  race  of

The  Experiments  to  Breed  Carriage  Horses. 

The  experiment  which  the  U.  S.  Government  wil] 
make  in   connection  with  the  Agricultural  College  of 
Colorado,  in  establis'uiDga  breed  of  American  Carriage 
is   thus  told  by  Prof.  W.  L.  Carlyle  in  a  com- 
munication to  the  2\'urtli  Pacific  Rural  Spirit: 

I  have  your  favor  of  December  19th,  and  in  reply 
will  say  that  I  am  very  glad  indeed  to  give  you  any 
information  in  my  power  relative  to  the  work  in  horse 
breeding  which  we  contemplate  inaugurating  here  in 
co-operation  with  the  United  States  Government.  I 
am  enclosing  you  herewith  a  clipping  from  one  of  our 
local  papers,  the  result*  of  an  interview  which  the 
editor  had  with  myself,  which  will  give  you  a  very 
clear  idea  of  what  the  plans  and  conditions  of  experi- 
ment are.  The  $25,000  appropriated  by  Congress  was 
for  the  purpose  of  establishing  experiments  in  breed- 
ing in  various  parts  of  the  country.  Of  this  $25,000, 
$5000  will  be  spent  in  Alabama  in  developing  a  type 
of  beef  cattle  suitable  for  Southern  conditions.  $1000 
has  been  given  to  the  state  of  Maine  in  connection 
with  their  experiments  for  the  development  of  an 
American  breed  of  poultry  of  superior  laying  quali. 
ties.  The  remainder  of  the  appropriation  will  go  to 
Colorado.  We  intend  to  breed  the  highest  type  of 
carriage  horse  and  we  are  selecting  broodmares  of 
desirable  strains  wherever  we  can  find  them,  so  long 
as  they  are  American  bred  and  without  any  ad- 
mixture of  foreign  coach  blood.  We  do  not  antici. 
pate  introducing  any  foreign  coach  blood,  though 
later  on  it  may  be  necessary  in  order  to  correct  some 
deficiency,  to  introduce  French  coach  or  Hackney 
blood. 

We  have  already  selected  some  eight  or  ten  mares 
of  the  American  trotter  foundation.  Most  of  these 
trace  directly  to  Ethan  Allen  and  are  somewhat  of  the 
old  Morgan  type  with  a  little  more  range  and  size 
perhaps.  We  are  anxious  to  fix  a  type  of  the  highest 
perfection  of  carriage  horses  and  to  establish  a  stud 
book  for  their  registration  so  that  they  may  be  bred 
pure.  We  expect  to  disseminate  the  ycung  stock 
bred  from  this  stud  into  the  various  sections  of  the 
country  where  suitable  foundation  mares  are  to  be 
found  and  after  rigid  selection,  we  will  register  the 
desirable  offspring  so  as  to  found  the  breed  as  quickly 
as  possible,  and  yet  safeguard  the  type.  I  trust  that 
tbis  will  give  you  the  information  desired.  I  appre- 
ciate very  much  your  interest  in  the  matter  and  will 
hope  for  your  support  in  the  work.  Following  is  the 
clipping  refered  to: 

"The  agreement  between  the  United  States  govern- 
ment and  the  state  agricultural  college  which  secures 
to  Colorado  and  Fort  Collins  another  Important 
government  experiment  station,  was  signed  at  the 
meeting  of  the  board  of  agriculture. 

'The  station  is  established  for  the  purpose  of 
developing  through  the  breeding  of  the  best  stock 
obtainable,  of  an  American  type  and  breed  of  horses. 

"At  present  nearly  all  breeds  of  horses,  cattle  and 
sheep  are  founded  in  Great  Britian,  and  are  being 
constantly  imported  to  this  country. 

"During  the  past  year  millions  of  dollars  have  been 
spent  in  foreign  stallions  for  breeding  purposes  in 
this  country.  The  Bame  is  true  of  sheep,  though  not 
to  so  large  an  extent,  and  of  cattle. 

"It  is  believed  by  those  interested  in  the  experi- 
ments to  be  conducted,  that  by  scientific  breeding 
and  care,  a  truly  American  type  and  breed  of  carriage 
horses  can  be  developed  from  the  blooded  stock  al- 
ready here,  which  shall  be  so  adapted  and  suited  to 
the  various  conditions  here  as  to  be  superior  to  any 
stock  that  can  be  imported  There  is  a  strong  de- 
mand for  such  a  breed  of  animals  all  over  thecountry, 
and  the  experiments  here  will  be  watched  with  great 
interest  by  horsemen  in  all  parts  of  the  United  States. 
Several  applications  from  private  breeders  in  Cali- 
fornia and  in  the  East  have  been  received  to  inspect 
the  stock  when  secured  and  kept  advised  of  the  pro- 
gress of  the  experiments. 

1  The  idea  originated  at  the  meeting  of  the  board  of 
agriculture  last  year,  and  E.  B.  Grubb,  Dr.  Ayles- 
wort  and  Professor  Carlyle  were  appointed  a  com- 
mittee to  bring  the  matter  before  Congress  and  the 
Department  of  Agriculture  at  Washington. 

"With  the  assistance  of  Congressman  Brooks  and 
Senators  Teller  am  Pal  61  on,  they  were  successful 
In  securing  an  appropriation  of  $25,000  for  use  in 
carrying  on  experiments  in  breeding  to  be  expended 
by  the  Su;retary  of  Agricultural  through  the  bureau 
of  animal  Industry,  Most  of  this  money  will  be  ex- 
pended here  tbis  year. 

"The  agreement  signed  on  Thursday  provides  for 
co-operative  experiments  of  the  Department  of  Agri- 
culture of  the  United  States  and  the  Colorado  State 
Agricultural  College  and  provides  for  the  establish- 
ment of  experiments  in  horse  breeding  to  study  the 
ol  i  •  veloplng  American  trotting  breeds  of 

government    agrees    to    furnish    twenty    or 


more  mares  and  one  or  two  stallions  of  the  highest 
type  of  horses  to  be  secured  from  the  American  trot- 
ters and  their  progeny. 

"These  horses  are  to  be  selected  and  purchased  by  a 
board  consisting  probably  of  Dr.  D.  E.  Salmon,  at  the 
head  of  the  bureau  of  animal  industry,  representing 
the  government,  M.  H.  Tichenor  of  Chicago,  one  of 
the  leading  horse  dealers  and  breeders  in  this  country, 
representing  the  breeders,  and  Prof.  W.  L.  Carlyle, 
representing  the  college.  It  has  also  been  asked  that 
Messrs.  E.  B.  Grubb  and  Jesse  Harris  act  as  an  ad- 
visory board.  The  government  will  provide  an  ex- 
pert groom  and  pay  part  of  the  salary  of  the  expert 
in  charge  of  the  experiments,  who  will  be  Prof.  Car- 
lyle. The  original  stock  belongs  to  the  government, 
while  all  progeny  goes  to  the  college. 

"The  results  of  the  experiments  are  to  be  published 
conjunctively  by  the  Department  of  Agriculture  and 
the  college. 

The  progeny  will  be  disseminated  throughout  horse 
breeding  centers  where  suitable  foundation  stock  is  to 
be  had  io  order  to  build  up  in  this  way  an  American 
carriage  horse.  Experiments  will  also  be  made  in 
breeding  to  western  mares,  such  as  are  found  on  many 
of  our  best  farms,  to  demonstrate  to  the  western 
people,  that  with  careful  breeding  and  care  a  founda- 
tion stock  is  already  here  for  the  production  of  a 
high  class  carriage  horse.  One  reason  why  the  ex- 
periments were  established  in  Colorado  was  the  well 
know  fact  that  horses  bred  in  the  mountain  regions 
are  possessed  of  great  superior  quality  of  legs  and  feet, 
owing  to  the  grasses  and  dryness  of  the  climate,  and 
the  possibility,  which  the  conditions  of  the  climate 
admit,  of  having  the  horses  very  largely  out  of  doors 
during  the  experiments  as  opposed  to  eastern  con- 
ditions where  they  must  be  closely  confined  during  a 
considerable  portion  of  the  year  without  exercises. 
It  is  hoped  to  be  able  to  secure  the  entire  breeding 
stud  by  spring,  in  order  that  they  may  become  ac 
climated  before  the  breeding  season  commences.  The 
colors  to  be  tried  this  year  will  be  bays,  browns  and 
chestnuts.  Most  of  the  breeding  of  blooded  horses  in 
this  country  has  been  for  speed.  It  is  hoped  by  these 
experiments  to  produce  a  large  sized,  beautiful  finished 
horse  with  style,  grace,  action  and  intelligence.

The  2:15  Sires. 

A  stallion's  ability  to  sire  6peed  is  no  longer  gauged 
by  the  number  of  his  get  that  can  trot  a  mile  against 
time  in  2:29$  on  a  perfect  track  with  weather  picked 
to  suit.  The  2:30  list  is  getting  rather  obsolete,  and 
stallions  that  do  not  have  a  few  representatives  in  the 
2:15  list  after  a  reasonable  time  in  the  stud  are  not 
counted  as  great  sires  of  speed  The  2:15  list  is  assum- 
ing large  proportions  and  occupies  many  pages  of  the 
average  weekly  journal  devoted  to  horse  literature 
whenever  it  is  printed.  There  are  now  fifty  stallions 
that  have  sired  ten  or  more  2:15  performers  and  the  ex- 
California  sire  McKinney  leads  the  list.  These  horses 
and  the  number  of  2:10  performers  sired  by  each  is 
as  follows:

Victoria,  B.  C,  Dec.  26,  1904. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman:— Messrs.  J.  T.  and  J. 
H.  Wilkinson,  of  Chilliwack,  British  Columbia,  have 
lost  by  death  their  premier  stallion,  Colloquy  18051, 
son  of  Bay  Bird,  dam  Soliloquy  by  Commodore  Bel- 
mont, second  dam  by  Mambrino  Patchen.  Colloquy 
was  a  very  fine  stallion  in  conformation,  speed  and 
breeding,  and  has  sired  a  lot  of  promising  colts  in 
British  Columbia.  A  pair  of  bay  mares  by  him  took 
first  prize  at  Winnipeg  and  at  every  fair  and  exhibi- 
tion in  Western  Canada  this  past  season.  Messrs. 
Wilkinson  Bros,  are  the  owners  of  a  fine  farm  and  are 
building  a  three-quarter  mile  race  track  right  on  the 
farm  on  which  they  will  develop  the  colts  and  fillies 
raised  by  themselves.  The  Wilkinson  band  of  brood- 
mares is  a  select  lot.  J.  H.  Wilkinson  is  an  up-to- 
date  breeder  and  buys  only  the  best  bred  mares  for 
his  ranch.  In  an  interview  with  the  writer  a  few 
days  since,  Mr.  Wilkinson  stated  that  he  was  now 
looking  for  a  very  well  bred  stallion,  one  that  had  a 
record  as  a  tried  race  horse  and  one  that  had  a  good 
list  of  performers  with  standard  records.  Added  to 
the  latter  requirements  he  wants  good  looks,  sound- 
ness and  good  disposition.  He  does  not  want  one 
bred  on  quite  the  same  lines  as  Colloquy,  as  there  are 
a  great  many  Colloquy  fillies  in  British  Columbia  be- 
sides those  owned  at  the  Wilkinson  farm.  Here's  a 
chance  for  some  California  owner  to  sell  a  good  stallion 

King  Patchen  hy  Mambrino  King  is  owned  at  Van- 
couver, B.  C,  and  is  siring  good  colts.  His  fastest 
one  by  the  records  is  Glengarry  Patchen,  pacer,  2:16}, 
one  of  the  best  looking  pacers  to  be  seen  anywhere, 
and  a  game  racehorse.  King  Patchen  puts  the  beauti- 
ful finish  of  Mambrino  King  on  his  get  and  gives  them 
good  size  as  well.  This  country  is  short  on  well  bred 
mares.  Just  why  men  will  breed  mares  with  one  dam, 
and  in  most  cases  no  known  breeding  to  a  high  bred 
horse  like  King  Patchen  and  Colloquy  and  pay  forty 
dollars  for  the  service  and  expect  a  racehorse  from 
Buch  a  union  is  a  poser  to  me. 

The  writer  tried  to  fix  up  a  colt  stake  for  British 
Colnmbia,  bred  and  raised  three  year  olds  last  fall  in 
Victoria.  The  Association  got  one  entry,  and  tbe 
country  full  of  good  colts.  Still  the  Association  will 
try  again  to  get  up  a  British  Columbia  Occident  stake 
for  1904. 

William  Stevenson,  owner  of  Fannie  Putnam  2:131, 
has  a  four-year-old  pacing  stallion,  sired  by  Tenny- 
sonian,  son  of  Electricity.  That  i6  one  of  the  highest 
class  green  pacers  that  I  have  ever  seen.  His  dam 
Fanny  Putnam  was  raced  over  the  Grand  Circuit  by 
Andrew  MacDowell,  and  she  was  a  game  mare. 
Later  on  she  raced  in  California,  and  was  a  hard  nut  to 
crack.  Her  colt's  name  is  Captain  John  and  he  will 
also  be  a  hard  nut  to  crack  when  he  comes  to  a  race. 
No  doubt  there  are  a  lot  of  good  ones  in  California, 
but  I  have  r.o  hesitancy  in  saying  out  loud  that  Van- 
couver Island  has  one  that  is  a  good  one,  and  barring 
accidents  my  predictions  about  Captain  John  will 
come  good.  Keep  an  eye  on  this  chestnut  pacer. 
Christmas,  the  sire  of  Fanny  Putnam,  is  passing  his 
feeble  old  age  in  luxury  which  speaks  volumes  for  his 
owner,  Mr.  J.  A.  Say  ward.  Christmas  has  about  got 
ready  to  drop  out.  He  sired  a  great  many  fine  horses 
here,  Fanny  Putnam  being  the  only  one  ever  trained. 
All  that  I  have  seen  are  good  lookers  but  of  a 
fractious  disposition. 

Wishing  tbe  Breeder  and  Sportsman  and  every 
horseman  a  Happy  New  Year,  I  remain, 

Very  truly  yours, 

C.  A.  Harrison. 

Death  of  Acolyte  2:21. 

The  stallion  Acolyte  2:21,  by  Onward  2:25J-Lady 
Alice,  by  Almont,  died  from  colic  in  Philadelphia,  Pa., 
Dec.  20,  age  20  years.  He  became  celebrated  some 
fifteen  years  ago  when  bis  breeder,  the  late  Col.  R.  P. 
Pepper,  of  Kentucky,  sold  him  to  J.  S.  Coxey,  of  Mas- 
sillon,  O.,  for,  it  was  reported,  $40,000.  Coxey  placed 
him  in  the  stud  and  kept  him  therefor  a  term  of 
years,  but  when  his  vagaries  culminated  in  the  or- 
ganization of  "Coxey's  army,"  and  its  march  to 
Washington,  the  stallion  headed  the  procession  with 
his  erratic  owner  on  his  back.  Later,  when  "the 
General"  got  into  financial  straits  he  parted  with 
Acolyte,  who,  during  recent  years  had  passed  through 
numerous  hands.  Acolyte  sired  eighteen  standard 
performers,  the  fastest  being  Aerolite  2:09}  trotting 
and  Pilgrim  2:10}  pacing.

Dr.  .5.  A.  Tuttle,  Boston,  Mass. 

Dear  Sir:— Owing  to  my  dealing  in  horses,  buying  and  selling 
them  in  great  numbers.  I  have  used  in  my  own  barn  and  given  to 
my  neighbors  about  sixty  to  eighty  dozen  bottles  of  you- Elixir, 
and  have  never  lost  a  horse  since  I  used  it.  I  give  a  dose  to  every 
horse  that  1  bring  in  from  the  country  lor  the  purpose  ol  acclimat- 
ing them,  and  throign  the  same  have  as  yet  had  only  the  best 
results.  I  oagnot  say  too  much  for  your  Elixir.  I  am  never  with- 
out it  in  my  barn.    Yours  respeotrully,

$  THOROUGHBREDS.  jj 

The  hoggish  action  of  the  Western  Jockey  Club 
stewards  in  refusing  dates  to  the  new  New  Orleans 
and  Esses  Park  (Hot  Springs)  clubs  has  undoubtedly 
precipitated  a  turf  war  of  immense  dimensions  in  the 
Middle  West  and  South.  Edward  Corrigan  now  owns 
the  Hawthorne  track,  has  an  interest  of  8100,000  in 
.  the  new  New  Orleans  plant  which  H.  D.  Brown  was 
instrumental  in  building,  and  has  a  large  interest  in 
the  Elm  Ridge  (Kansas  City)  track.  William  Shan- 
non and  H.  Devereauxof  Essex  Park  ire  great  friends 
of  the  big  turfman  and  racing  magnate,  and  will  un- 
doubtedly co-operate  with  him,  and  it  is  among  the 
probabilities  that  the  Worth,  Nashville  and  Latonia 
people  will  join  hands  with  Corrigan  against  the 
"sure  thing"  men  from  St.  Louis  who  are  trying  to 
form  a  racing  trust  in  the  Middle  West  and  South. 
Last  Tuesday  the  W.  J.  C.  stewards,  by  a  vote  of  3  to 
2,  refused  to  revise  the  objectionable  dates  except  so 
far  as  Louisville  was  concerned,  that  club  receiving 
an  additional  five  days.  The  failure  to  grant  dates 
to  the  New  Orleans  people  will  be  joyful  news  to  the 
men  who  raced  at  the  Union  (St.  Louis)  track  last 
season.  Though  having  better  and  fairer  racing  by 
far  at  Union  than  the  Cella-Adler-Tilles  crowd  fur- 
nished at  their  tracks  around  the  Mound  City,  that 
fact  being  indisputable,  some  650  horses  were  placed 
under  the  ban  by  the  Western  Jockey  Club  (which  is 
but  another  name  for  Cella,  Adler,  Tilles,  John  Con- 
don and  C.  S.  Bush),  men  who  have  made  millions  in 


Lily,  was  the  medium  of  a  gigantic  "clean  up"  the 
same  afternoon,  he  being  backed  by  Mrs.  Cora  Eckert 
and  her  friends  from  15  to  1  down  to  7  to  1  and  win- 
ning by  three  lengths  easily  after  leading  every  inch 
of  the  route  of  six  furlongs. 


There  were  no  less  than  five  very  close  finishes  on 
Tuesday,  Hainault  being  the  only  easy  winner  of  the 
day.  Horatius  and  Preckman  ran  almost  as  a  team 
for  over  a  quarter  of  a  mile  in  the  concluding  race, 
former  getting  the  verdict  in  the  last  jump  by  a  nose. 
'3ood  horses  of  the  long  ago  were  much  in  evidence 
that  afternoon,  Barrack  winning  at  a  mile  and  fifty 
yards  and  Cousin  Carrie  at  six  furlongs. 


Jockey  John  Bullman  is  fast  "rounding  to, "  and 
last  Monday  rode  the  two-year-old  Daruma  and  Sol 
Lichtenstein  to  victory  in  clever  Btyle.  Tuesday  he 
was  successful  on  Barrack.  Travers  is  looming  up, 
riding  one  winner  on  Monday  and  two  on  Tuesday.

From  Los  Angeles. 

After  two  severe  rain  storms  and  a  spell  of  cold 
weather,  the  weather  seems  to  have  returned  to  its 
normal  condition  of  bright  and  sunny  days  with  no 
chill  in  the  air.  No  day  in  June  could  have  been 
fairer  than  New  Years  Day  and  the  largest  crowd 
whichever  passed  through  the  turnstiles  at  Ascot 
Prrk  was  on  hand  to  see  a  program  of  high  class 
events  run  off.  The  Rose  Handicap  with  a  value  of 
$1870  to  the  wiuner  was  won  by  Luckett,  with  High 
Chancellor  in  the  place  and  Eva  G.  third.    Fossil  also 


of  a  selling  race  paying  $425  for  the  gelding.  Frank 
Reagan  also  took  a  hand  in  the  game  running  up 
Blissful  from  $500  to  $1500,  the  mare  was  retained  by 
Mr.  Bon6eck,  her  owner,  but  as  Mr.  Reagan  was 
second  with  McGrathiana  Prince  he  did  very  well 
out  of  the  race. 

There  has  been  quite  a  lot  of  rough  riding  lately 
and  owing  to  the  lack  of  patrol  judges  much  of  it 
could  not  be  seen  from  the  judge's  stand.  Hildebrand 
was  finally  spotted  and  a  fine  of  $100  was  promptly 
imposed  which  has  since  tended  to  keep  the  jockeys 
in  order. 

The  purses  have  been  raised  -and  now  no  race  is 
given  for  less  than  $400.  On  New  Year's  day  there 
were  eighteen  books  and  three  field  books  in  opera- 
tion, which  is  the  record  for  this  track.  On  last 
Thursday  twenty  head  of  yearlings,  two-year-olds  and 
three-year-olds,  the  property  of  Porter  Ashe  were 
sold  by  auction.  These  youngsters  were  the  get  of 
Homer,  Jackson,  Ruinart  and  imp.  Tarcoola,  and 
averaged  $145,  which  was  a  very  fair  price  consider- 
ing they  were  mostly  by  untried  sireB.

If  the  histories  of  the  St.  Louis  "magnates"  is  ever 
written  up  correctly  it  will  open  the  eyes  of  the  people 
who  pay  their  dollars  at  the  race  track  gates  to  the 
fact  that  those  who  are  supposed  10  be  catering  to 
their  amusement  in  a  racing  way  should  be  breaking 
rock  in  some  institution  with  a  high  wall  around  it) 
instead  of  making  dates  for  racing  clubs  and  dictating 
to  decent  men.  who  put  their  money  into  race  tracks. 
Someday  I  may  write  a  history  of  these  "magnates," 
who,  not  so  many  years  ago,  were  engaged  in  a  busi- 
ness that  ought  to  have  kept  the  police  pretty  busy, 
and  later  on  ran  an  electric  light  night  track,  the 
memory  of  which  leaves  a  brown  taste  in  one's  mouth . 
Turf  "outlaws"  themselves  for  a  long  time,  these 
men  managed  to  gather  enough  coin  to  buy  a  control- 
ling interest  in  three  tracks  in  and  around  St.  Louis, 
were  taken  into  the  Western  Jockey  Club  fold,  and 
now  dictate  the  policy  of  that  organization.  How- 
ever, out  of  their  piggish  actions  may  oome  great 
good  to  the  turf  in  their  part  of  the  world,  for  doubt- 
less a  new  governing  turf  body  will  be  evolved  that 
will  give  breeders  a  voice  in  its  management.    That

Cora  Belle  who  displayed  great  speed,  running  the 
three  furlongs  in  thirty-five  seconds.  Lady  Walker 
is  owned  by  J.  E.  Cushing,  who  won  the  American 
Derby  with  BoundlesB  and  Mr.  Cushing  profited  con- 
siderably by  the  victory  of  his  mare. 

The  Steeplechase  was  marred  by  an  accident  in 
which  Jimmy  Coffey's  gelding  Galanthus  broke  his 
neck  over  the  first  jump.  The  steeplechasers  here  do 
not  amount  to  much  and  most  of  them  have  difficulty 
in  getting  over  the  jumps  and  staying  the  distance. 

Last  Saturday  the  Mt.  Lowe  Handicap  was  run  off 
and  was  the  occasion  of  the  re-appearance  of  Cruzados 
who  has  not  been  started  in  a  race  since  last  spring; 
this  horse  with  118  lbs.  spreadeagled  his  field  winning 
by  himself  in  a  common  canter  with  Fossil  ten  lengths 
away  and  such  good  ones  as  John  F.,  Tyrolian,  Fire- 
ball, Luckett  and  Tim  Payne  strung  out  behind  him. 
Cruzados  set  a  heart  breaking  pace,  running  the  first 
half  mile  in  :47J  over  a  muddy  track,  and  finishing 
out  the  six  furlongs  in  l:14J;heseemsto  have  returned

Trotting  in  Austria. 

Mrs.  Andy  McDowell,  formerly  of  California,  but 
now  a  resident  of  Austria  where  her  husband  is  train- 
ing a  large  string  of  trotters  for  a  wealthy  Austrian, 
writes  as  follows  to  the  Trotter  and  Pacer  in  regard  to 
the  racing  there: 

Racing  in  Austria  is  principally  run  on  the  handicap 
system,  and  in  most  respects  it  is  interesting,  but  as 
with  our  racing  at  home  it  has  its  drawbacks  which 
the  rulers  of  the  sport  are  always  endeavoring  to  over- 
come. The  principal  obstacle  is  the  starting  of  the 
fields.  In  many  instances  there  are  three  tiers  of 
horses  starting  from  the  same  post,  and  as  they  must 
all  circle  in  one  direction  until  they  head  the  starter 
simultaneously  it  causes  an  endless  amount  of  turning, 
which  becomes  so  tedious  and  tiresome  that  one 
wonders  at  the  immunity  from  accidents  and  also 
wonders  at  the  patience  displayed  by  the  judge,  who 
must  needs  be  a  master  hand  to  handle  a  field  of 
horses  that  at  times  are  scattered  over  the  track  for  a 
distance  of  over  three  hundred  metres. 

The  system  in  question  makes  many  American 
horses  which  have  achieved  marked  success  at  home 
practically  worthless  for  racing  purposes  here,  as  so 
much  turning  spoils  all  the  chances  of  a  double  gaited 
horse,  which,  if  sent  away  on  even  terms  with  the 
field  and  well  on  to  his  stride  could  not  be  induced  to 
make  a  wrong  move  thereafter. 

Djring  the  progress  of  the  season  here  there  are 
occasionally  heat  races,  and  I  have  noticed  that  on 
the  days  when  these  occur  the  crowds  are  peiceptibly 
larger,  and  the  spectators  seem  to  show  a  marked  in- 
terest in  the  events  before  menticned.  In  my  opinion, 
if  the  club  conld  be  induced  to  give   one   or  two    beat 


the  new  order  will  be  a  boon  to  breeders,  who  will    train6ri  T-  H  Qooke,  who  sent  him  to  the  post  in  the    races  each  week  throughout  the  season  it  would  be  so 


have  to  furnish  double  the  number  of  horses  for  mc- 
ing  purposes  in  the  South  and  Middle  West,  and  it  is 
a  source  of  satisfaction  to  the  writer  that  this  will 
come  about,  just  as  I  outlined  it  in  my  correspondence 
from  St.  Louis  last  season. 


The  first  two-year-old  race  of  the  season  took  place 
at  Emery ville  last  Monday,  January  2d,  and  was  won 
in  fine  style  by  a  very  handsome  chestnut  filly  named 
Daruma,  from  the  Napa  Stock  Farm  paddocks  of 
A.  B.  Spreckels.  This  fleet  youngster,  which  ran 
three  furlongs  over  a  very  heavy  track  in  0:363  with 
111  lbs.  up,  is  by  the  magnificent  young  English  horse 
Solitaire  (son  of  Ayrshire)  out  of  Georgia  VI  by  Prince 
of  Norfolk.  The  Solitaire  yearlings  averaged  91600 
at  the  New  York  sale  last  summer,  which,  for  an  un- 
tried sire's  get,  was  a  price  almost  unprecedented. 
They  were  grand  lookers,  however,  and  do  not  belie 
their  appearance,  apparently.  Mr.  Spreckels  was 
mightily  pleased  over  the  victory  of  Daruma,  and 
had  a  substantial  wager  down  in  addition.  The  sec- 
ond horse  in  the  race,  Sir  Wilfred,  ran  a  winning  race 
himself  from  a  start  not  of  the  best,  and  had  been 
highly  tried  in  private.  He  is  by  the  splendid  Or- 
monde horse,  Ossary,  from  Plumeria  (dam  of  Shell- 
mount)  by  imp.  Eagle's  Plume.  Plumeria  is  an  own 
sister  to  May  W.  and  Dora  I.  Thus  two  new  sires 
came  to  the  front  with  rapid  bounds,  and  it  is  my  be- 
lief that  both  will  take  a  prominent  place  in  thebreed- 
ing  history  of  the  Golden  State. 

Claude  added  another  grand  viotory  to  his  long 
string  on  Monday  in  the  New  Year's  Handicap,  one 
mile  and  a  furlong.  With  132  pounds  up,  the  little 
bay  horse  was  badly  interfered  with  on  the  far  turn 
by  Modicum,  but  came  like  a  cyclone  upon  a  Kansas 
shanty  in  the  homestretch,  catching  Bombadier  a  few 
yards  from  the  finish  and  beating  him  out  a  scant 
neck  amid  the  cheers  of  an  admiring  multitude. 


Rector,  an  English   gelding  by  Crowberry-Lenten 


pink  of  condition. 

Last  week  Green  Morris's  two-year-old  filly,  Gold 
Rose,  carrying  ninety-five  pounds,  broke  the  track 
record  for  a  mile  running  the  distance  in  l:38f.  She 
ran  the  six  furlongs  to  the  head  of  the  stretch  in  1:12*1 
and  thereafter  was  not  urged;  had  anything  been 
able  to  give  her  a  race  there  is  no  question  but  what 
she  would  have  run  close  to  the  world's  record.  Thii 
makes  six  consecutive  wins  for  her  and  a  few  days 
after  she  was  started  in  a  two-year-old  handicap  with 
122  pounds  in  the  saddle,  this  race  was  supposed  to 
give  a  line  on  her  weight  carrying  abilities  as  she  had 
always  carried  lightweight.  Unfortunately  she  was 
left  at  the  post  and  the  question  as  So  how  good  a 
mare  she  is,  is  still  unsettled. 

Things  are  pretty  lively  here  in  the  selling  race 
line  and  an  owner  when  he  enters  a  horse  is  rather 
doubtful  as  to  whether  he  will  get  him  back  out  of 
the  race  or  not;  this  state  of  affairs  was  inaugurated 
by  J.  J.  McCafferty  who  claimed  Funnyside  for  $575. 
Sam  Doggett  retaliated  by  running  up  Emperor  of 
India  to  $2000  and  securing  him  at  that  price.  Chub 
was  then  claimed  by  W.  L.  Austin  for  $1275;  he  ran 
once  in  the  colors  of  his  new  owner  and  was  then 
claimed  by  J.  J.  McCafferty  for  $1225  making  three 
ownerships  of  the  horse  in  one  week.  Dutiful,  the 
wise  grey  horse,  formerly  in  McCafferty 's  stable  was 
purchased  by  R.  Turner,  out  of  the  selling  race  which 
he  won  last.  Andrew  Mack  after  his  win  was  run  up 
to  $1905,  and  retained  by  Mr.  Turner  at  that  figure. 
Emily  Oliver  was  claimed  by  Al  Gooden  for  $525  and 
was  a  bargain  at  the  figure  named.  After  his  race  on 
Tuesday  Instructor  was  claimed  by  H.  Stover  who 
Becured  him  for  $825  but  afterwards  returned  him  to 
his  owner.  Laureates  was  claimed  by  Jas.  Frayling 
after  winning  on  Friday,  the  price  paid  was  $600. 
this  is  the  second  horse  Mr.  Pelter  has  lost  in  two 
days  but  when  spoken  to  on  the  matter  expressed 
himself  as  having  no  kick  to  make  as  it  was  part  of 
the  game.    J  J.  McCafferty  also  secured  Jingler  out 


thoroughly  approved  by  the  public  that  that  plan 
of  racing  would  become  thoroughly  established,  as 
identical  with  the  racing  interests,  and  would  be  the 
salvation  of  many  a  good  norse,  as  the  distance  would 
be  shorter  and  the  time  materially  faster.  This  latter 
item  I  regard  as  an  important  factor,  as  fast  time 
always  infuses  enthusiasm  into  a  crowd,  and  is  one  of 
the  features  which  have  made  trotting  in  America 
one  of  the  foremost  sports  in  the  world. 


Age  of  Kendall's  Spavin  Cure. 

There  is  a  peculiarity  about  the  advertising  of  Kendall's  Spavin 
Cure  which  we  would  be  glad  to  have  our  readers  note.  Almost 
without  exception  the  advertising  is  based  on  testimonies  of 
users.  Our  readers,  who  have  been  lamiliar  with  it  in  theie 
columns  for  years,  have  noted  lhat  its  character  does  not  change. 
This  is  undoubtedly  good  policy  in  the  Dr.  B.  J.  Kendall  Company. 
It  is  their  peculiar  good  forlune  to  have  an  army  of  good  users  of 
this  remedy  who  have  not  be^n  without  it  for  many  years,  and 
many  of  them  have  been  using  it  to  the  exclusion  of  ail  other 
methods  to  cure  their  horses  of  spavins,  ringbones,  curbs,  splints, 
wounds,  lamenesses,  etc.  It  is  no  uncommon  thing  to  read  testi- 
monials from  those  who  have  used  Kendall's  Spavin  Cure  for 
fifteen  or  twenty  years.  It  has  been  now  about  thirty  years  since 
the  remedy  was*  comp  unded.  It  has  been  the  most  popular 
remedy  of  the  kind  all  that  time.  It  has  attained  a  wonderful 
popularity.  There  are  calls  for  it  everywhere  and  we  venture 
that  there  is  hardly  a  drug  store  iu  the  country  where  it  is  not 
sold.  It  is  remarkable  that  it  should  have  continued  so  univer- 
sally popular  for  so  long  a  time.  No  other  remedy  has.  And  yet 
why  should  it  not?  Originally  compounded  by  the  noted  veteri- 
nary surgeon.  Dr.  S  J  Kendall,  and  used  by  h  m  in  his  practice 
in  treating  the  above  named  horse  ailments,  it  proved  to  bo 
almost  an  infallible  remedy.  These  ailments  are  just  asoorrmon 
now  as  they  were  in  Dr.  B.  J.  Kendall's  day.  The  remedy  is  the 
same.  It  is  still  manufactured  by  the  Company  which  leaves  the 
veterinarian's  name.  For  thirty  years  it  has  been  proving  itself 
to  be  of  highest  worth  The  Company  is  wise  to  avail  themselves 
of  the  record  it  has  made  in  their  advertising.  Every  reader  of 
this  paper  who  owns  a  horse  should  procure  a  copy  of  the  free 
book  entitled  "A  Treatise  on  the  Horse  and  His  Diseases"  Get 
it  of  your  druggist  or  write  the  Dr  B  J.  Kendall  Company  for  it 
at  the  address  given  in  the  advertisement. 


A  Good   Investment 


For  any  horse  owner  is  made  when  he  buys  a  supply  of  Craft's 
Distemper  &  Cough  Cure.    This  treatment  has  been  so  effective 
uniformly  in  driving  out  the  distemper  germs  that  it  is  now  oom- 
monly  known  as  the  sure  cure  for  the  influenza,  and  especially 
adaoted  for  coughs,  epizootic,  catarrhal  fever,  pinkeye,  shipping 
fever  and  kindred  germ  diseases     It  is  not  advisable  to  wait  until 
the  horse  is  sick.    This  liquid  is  a  preventive  which  may  be  given 
regularly  twice  a  week  with  the  food  and  acts  as  a  tonic  to  bnsce 
up  the  horse  with  vigorand  to  bar  from  its  system  l! 
germs  which  are  so  undesirable.    Our  readers  shouUl   r

Changes  Advocated  in  Oregon  Game  Laws. 

Game  Warden  Baker  has  filed  with  Governor 
Chamberlain  his  annual  report,  showing  work  of  the 
past  year.  An  important  feature  of  the  report  is  the 
discussion  of  the  disappearance  of  game  in  the  state, 
and  how  best  to  prevent  it  He  suggests  that  for  five 
years  the  sale  of  upland  birds  should  be  prohibited, 
and  that  the  limit  should  be  cut  from  ten  to  five  birds 
a  day.  He  also  suggests  that  twenty  ducks  in  a  day 
is  a  sufficiency  for  any  man  to  kill. 

With  its  somewhat  startling  recommendations,  the 
report  is  one  well  worth  the  attention  of  every  sports- 
man. The  game  warden  is  undoubtedly  zealous  in  his 
his  ideas,  but  in  several  respects  it  will  be  seen  he 
advocates  too  extreme  measures.    It  reads  as  follows: 

Few  people  realize  that  the  fish  and  game  of  a  state 
are  among  the  most  attractive  and  profitable  re- 
sources. This  is  mainly  due  to  the  fact  that  very  few 
persons  have  given  the  matter  any  consideration. 
Almost  every  person  either  enjoys  the  gun  or  the 
fishing  rod  and  will  embrace  every  opportunity  to 
take  a  shot  or  cast  the  fly;  but  the  matter  of  protect- 
ing or  preserving  the  game  and  fish  is  never  seriously 
considered.  Tbis  condition  in  Oregon  arises  from  the 
fact  tnat  we  have  plenty  and  "abundance."  Very 
few  ever  think  of  the  future  or  what  will  become  of 
the  fish  and  game  if  not  rigidly  protected,  'ihey  care 
and  think  ooly  for  the  present. 

The  grandest  and  finest  of  Oregon's  game  animals, 
the  elk,  are  not  very  numerous.  I  recommend  that 
they  be  protected  entirely  for  the  next  ten  years. 
During  the  last  year  two  parties  have  been  convicted 
for  the  unlawful  killing  of  elk;  two  more  are  now 
under  indictment  by  the  grand  jury  for  the  same 
offense.  In  some  cases  parties  have  been  known  to 
take  only  the  teeth,  after  having  killed  the  elk,  leav- 
ing horns,  hide  and  m^at  in  the  mountains 

In  some  of  the  remote  parts  of  the  state  the  deer 
skinner  still  pursues  his  infamous  practice  of  killing 
for  tbe  bides.  It  is  impossible  to  reach  many  of  these 
oasee,  owing  to  cost  of  making  these  long  and  ex- 
pensive trips  in  tho  mountains.  Many  convictions 
have  been  secured  for  violating  the  deer  law  during 
tbc  last  year.  The  practice  of  the  "game  hog,  "who, 
regardless  of  the  law,  chases  deer  with  hounds  at  all 
seasons  of  tho  year,  should  be  the  subject  of  vigorous 
reful  legislation.  Many  of  those  hunters  are 
too  lazy  to  hunt  and  rely  upon  dogs  to  do  tho  work, 
while  they  sit  on  the  bank  of  some  stream,  or  upon 
some  runway,  waiting  (or  tho  deer  to  make  its  ap- 
pearance, and  at  tbe  same  time  they  are  willing  to 
that  they   aro  after  cougar  or  wolves.    "The 

'ith  dogs  should  be  permitted  during 

>nlb  o(  October  of  each  year.     I  earnestly  sug- 

iiat  during  iihe  months  o(  April,  May,  June  and 

July  all  dogs  seen  chasing  deer   he   killed,  and    the 

killer    be    exempt    Irom    prosecution.       During    tho 

months  of  April  and  May,  the  gravid  female  deer  are 


not  in  condition  to  protect  themselves.    Female  dee.' 
should  be  protected  at  all  times. 

The  cougar  is  a  great  destroyer  of  deer.  A  bounty 
should  be  placed  upon  each  cougar  killeu.  The  timber 
wolf  in  some  localities  Is  also  very  destructive.  The 
wildcat  destroys  many  fawns.  Many  alleged  cases  of 
violations  of  the  game  laws  are,  upon  a  close  investi- 
gation, found  to  be  untrue— almost  always  greatly  ex- 
aggerated; in  some  the  spirit  of  malice  is  the  moving 
cause  of  complaints. 

During  this  year,  reports  concerning  the  Mongolian 
or  China  pheasant  are  very  conflicting  as  to  the  num- 
ber of  these  birds  From  some  counties  reports  come 
to  this  office  that  they  are  more  numerous  than  last 
year,  while  others  report  less.  The  only  reason  I  can 
give  for  this  is,  that  the  farmer  and  his  boys  and 
many  city  hunters  in  some  parts  of  the  state  are  more 
addicted  to  hunting  than  in  others. 

The  question  of  how  best  and  most  effectually  to 
protect  the  upland  birds  of  Oregon  is  one  that  is  hard 
to  solve.  The  limit  of  one  day 's  hunt  should  be  five 
birds  only.  The  use  of  the  dog  should  be  prohibited 
for  three  years,  or,  if  permitted  at  all,  confine  the 
time  to  the  last  15  days  of  the  open  season. 

Referring  to  the  Oregon  native  pheasant  he  says: 
These  biras  have  been  on  the  decrease  for  tbe  last 
fifteen  years.  They  should  be  protected  entirely  for 
five  years. 

Grouse  are  more  numerous  than  last  season  owing, 
I  think,  to  the  extra  good  season  for  hatching  and 
raising  the  young. 

Quail  are  in  some  parts  of  the  state  greatly  on  the 
incease.  I  think  from  reports  from  Josephine  and 
Jackson  counties  this  is  the  case.  Much  credit  is  due 
the  sportsmen  of  these  two  counties  for  their  true 
sportsmanlike  manner  of  obeying  the  law.  No  two 
other  counties  so  far  as  birds  are  concerned  can  show 
the  same  record. 

Klamath  and  Lake  counties  are  noted  for  their  ex- 
tensive breeding  grounds  for  ducks,  lam  pleased  to 
report  that  this  section  of  the  state  has  been  well 
guarded  through  the  vigilance  and  industry  of  Deputy 
Game  Warden  M.  E.  Hutchison,  assisted  by  E.  G. 
Hodson,  of  Douglas  county. 

The  California  poacher  is  fast  becoming  a  back 
number  in  and  about  the  lakes  of  tbe  southeastern 
part  of  Oregon.  The  late  wet  weather  and  extreme 
high  wafer  las*  spring  and  early  summer  was  a  great 
drawback  to  the  breeding  birds  in  that  section.  The 
law  permitting  one  hunter  to  kill  fifty  ducks  in  one 
day,  is  a  shame  and  a  disgrace  upon  the  statutes  of 
any  state.  Twenty  is  a  large  and  sufficient  number 
for  any  one  hunter  to  kill  in  one  day. 

Geese  should  be  killed  at  any  season,  but  prohibited 
at  all  times  on  nesting  or  roosting  places. 

The  limit  of  one  day's  catch  is  125  of  mountain  and 
brook  trout;  this  should  b6  changed.  Seventy-five 
would  be  an  ample  catch  for  any  true  fisherman.  I 
think  salmon  trout  should  be  canght  during  October 
and  November  of  each  year,  and  with  hook  and  line- 
only. 

Bass  are  being  caught  in  many  streams  in  Oregon 
and  are,  I  think,  increasing  very  rapidly. 

The  farmer  is  in  a  great  many  instances  very  much 
opposed  to  the  game  laws  and  their  enforcement. 
Frequent  complaints  are  made  against  the  "city 
chap's"  utter  disregard  of  the  rights  of  the  farmer 
over  his  own  premises.  The  practice  of  some  hunters 
using  the  wire  nippers  with  which  to  effect  an  en- 
trance for  his  dog  through  the  farmer's  fence,  is 
enongh  to  make  the  farmer  feel  that  he  has  been 
greatly  wronged,  in  this  case.  However  much  the 
farmer  may  be  wronged,  he  should  enforce  the  tres- 
pass law  upon  all  hunters  for  a  few  times,  and  then 
they  would  respect  both  the  law  and  the  farmer. 

When  the  hunter  and  the  farmer  are  convinced  that 
the  laws  protecting  game  are  for  all,  then  and  not  till 
then  will  the  game  laws  be  respected. 

The  Oregon  Fish  and  Game  Protection  Association, 
of  Portland,  has  done  and  is  doing  much  by  way  of 
enforcing  the  law  relative  to  the  protection  of  game, 
and  especially  I  desire  to  mention  in  this  connection 
the  name  of  Mr.  A.  E.  Gebhardt,  who  is  vigilant  and 
untiring  in  his  work. 

Twelve  or  fifteen  deputies  should  be  employed  in 
this  state.  The  question  to  be  considered  next  is  how 
to  Becure  money  enough  to  pay  these  men.  They  will 
not  work  without  some  compensation. 

This  question  has  been  discussed  throughout  the 
state  by  many  hunters  and  by  those  who  do  not  hunt, 
yet  who  are  deeply  interested  in  game  protection. 
Tbe  way  the  means  can  be  obtained  is  to  license  all 
hunters,  both  resident  and  nonresident.  This  Bystem 
is  not  simply  to  protect  the  game,  but  mainly  to 
secure  a  sufficient  sum  of  money  with  which  the  game 
warden  and  his  deputies  may  be  enabled  to  enforce 
more  vigorously  the  laws. 

The  following  data  shows  the  amount  of  money 
raised  by  the  license  syBtem  in  some  of  the  states  for 
the  year  1903:  Colorado,  815.184;  Nebraska,  $37-14; 
North  and  South  Dakota,  $8680;  Illinois,  895,000; 
Michigan,  $14,295.75:  Wisconsin,  878,164;  Idaho, 
812,370;  Washington,  $14,982. 

Among  many  laymen  not  familiar  with  field  trials  it 
is  the  belief  that  quail  are  wantonly  killed,  such  is  not 
the  practice  nor  is  it  a  necessary  condition  of  the 
sport. 

In  field  trials  the  gun  is  not  used  to  kill  tbe  birds 
when  they  are  flushed,  retrieving  is  not  in  the  curri- 
culum of  a  field  trial  dog's  course  of  education.  Ihe 
gun,  however,  is  used  with  a  blank  cartridge,  and 
when  aimed  and  fired  at  a  flying  bird  it  is  done  for  the 
purpose  of  testing  the  dog's  steadiness  "to  shot,"as 
it  1b  termed. 


Now  and  then,  in  my  wanderings  through  the  Blue 
Mountain  forest,  I  come  upon  a  gigantic  blackish- 
brown  deer,  which,  by  reason  of  the  great  length  of 
its  yellowish-gray  legs.stands  higherthan  a  tall  horse. 
It  is  clothed  in  coarse,  bristly  hai>",  longest  on  the 
neck  and  shoulders,  and  it  has  a  rather  ugly,  over- 
hanging nose,  which  distinguishes  it  at  once  from  all 
other  kinds  of  deer  writes  Ernest  Harold  Baynes. 
From  the  throat  of  the  male  hangs  a  long  hair- 
covered  appendage  known  as  the  "bell,"  and  in  the 
fall  and  winter  he  has  also  a  pair  of  wide-spreading 
antlers,  very  heavy  and  much  flattened  or"palmated." 
He  stalks  the  forest  through  undergrowth  and  over 
fallen  trunks,  like  a  king  of  giants,  or,  if  alarmed,  he 
speeds  away  at  an  amazing  swift  swinging  trot,  and 
with  a  crashing  which  resembles  the  sound  of  falling 
trees.  Such  is  the  moose,  the  largest  of  all  deer,  liv- 
ing or  extinct. 

The  moose  is  chiefly  an  animal  of  the  northern 
woods,  the  southern  limit  of  the  range  being  the  head 
of  Green  river,  Wjoming.  It  is  also  found  in  northern 
Maine,  New  Brunswick,  southern  Canada,  Idaho, 
British  Columbia,  Alberta,  Athabasca,  Yukon  and 
Alaska.  It  is  strictly  a  dweller  of  the  forest,  seldom 
venturing  to  treeless  plains. 

It  lives  for  the  most  part  by  browsing  on  the  leaves, 
twigs  and  bark  of  trees,  particularly  young  trees  In 
order  to  reach  the  tops  of  tall  sapliDgs,  the  moose 
rears  up  against  them,  straddling  them  with  his  long 
legs,  and  literally  riding  them  down.  He  is  fondest  of 
birch,  hemlock,  alder,  aspen,  willow  and  maple.  He 
also  eats  mosses  and  lichens,  but  his  legs  are  so  long 
that  when  he  wishes  to  eat  from  the  ground  he  is 
obliged  to  kneel.  In  summer  he  frequents  the  shores 
of  quiet,  tree-bordered  lakes  and  streams,  where  he 
eats  the  lily-pads,  and  splashes  himself  with  water, 
possibly  to  keep  off  the  flies. 

In  May,  the  "cow,"  as  tbe  female  moose  is  called, 
gives  birth  to  a  long-legged,  ungainly,  tawny-colored 
calf,  to  protect  which  the  mother  will  fight  any  wood- 
land creature  to  the  death.  She  has  no  antlers,  but 
she  can  use  her  great  sharp  hoofs  with  the  skill  of 
a  prize  fighter,  and  has  been  known  to  pound  to  death 
a  large  black  bear,  and  fairly  trample  his  body  into 
the  ground. 

The  calf  stays  with  his  mother  for  two  or  three 
years,  or  until  he  wanders  off  to  seek  a  mate  for  him- 
self. One  day  last  summer  I  came  suddenly  upon  a 
cow  moose,  standing  knee  deep  in  a  shallow  pond, 
while  from  beneath  her  neck  her  grotesque-looking 
calf  peered  out  at  me  with  eyes  wide  open,  as  if  with 
astonishment.  I  hurried  home  and  returned  with  a 
camera,  but  when  I  reached  tbe  spot  they  were  gone 
Like  all  American  deer,  the  "bull"  moore  sheds  and 
renews  his  antlers  every  year.  They  become  full- 
grown,  hard  and  sharp,  about  the  1st  of  October,  the 
beginning  of  the  breeding  season.  At  this  time  of 
year,  the  bulls  are  very  savage,  and  not  only  fight 
furiously  among  themselves,  but  are  apt  to  attack 
anything  or  anybody  who  comes  in  their  way. 

The  call  of  the  "bull"  is  a  long-drawn  bawl,  with 
several  loud  grunts  at  the  end  If  there  is  a  cow  with- 
in hearing,  she  will  answer  with  a  low  cry.  and  the 
"bull"  will  come  forward  to  meet  her.  Hunters  often 
take  advantage  of  this  fact,  and  attract  the  "bull"  by 
an  imitation  of  tbe  call  of  the  cow,  executed  on  a  cone- 
shaped  horn  made  of  birch  bark.  LyiDg  concealed 
on  the  bank  of  a  lake  or  stream,  they  give  out  the 
call,  and  when  the  bull  comes  within  range  they  shoot 
him.  But  as  this  trick  is  usually  played  at  night, 
and  as  the  bull  sometimes  gives  no  warning  of  his 
coming  until  he  is  almost  on  the  spot,  the  sport  is  apt 
to  be  dangerous.  The  bull,  at  such  a  time,  is  in  no 
mood  to  be  trifled  with,  and  unless  the  hunter  is  cool- 
headed  and  a  good  shot,  the  moose  is  not  only  willing, 
but  very  able  to  kill  him,  and  a  dozen  like  him,  if 
they  happen  to  be  on  the  spot. 

Probably  the  largest  moose  of  wlr  ::h  there  is  reliable 
record  was  shot  by  Carl  Rungius,  the  animal  painter, 
in  New  Brunswick  in  1901.  This  great  beast  stood 
seven  feet  high  at  the  shoulders,  and  tbe  length  of 
its  head  and  body  together  was  nine  feet  seven  inches. 
The  Alaskan  moose  have  the  largest  antlers,  and  one 
pair  from  an  animal  shot  on  the  Kenai  peninsula  has 
a  spread  of  78£  inches,  and  has  34  points.  With  the 
dry  skull  to  which  they  are  attached,  these  antlers 
weigh  93|-  pounds  a  weight  which  nothing  but  an 
animal  of  gigantic  strength  could  carry  at  top  speed 
over  the  roughest  ground  and  through  thickly  wooded 
country. 

In  the  winter,  when  the  snow  is  deep,  the  moose. 
sometimes  several  families  together,  will  gather  in  a 
certain  section  of  woodland,  and  breaking  out  paths 
for  themselves  over  a  space  of  perhaps  several  acres, 
form  what  is  known  as  a  "yard,"  where,  if  not  dis- 
turbed, they  may  stay  for  weeks  together.  But  the 
moose  is  able  to  travel  well  at  all  ssasons,  and  even  in 
deep  snow  his  long  legs  enable  him  to  move  at  a  pace 
which  will  astonish  any  hunter  who  tries  to  run  him 
down  on  snow-shoeB. 

A  wild,  free  life  is  tbe  only  one  in  which  a  moose 
can  live  and  thrive.  In  captivity  it  is  much  less  ner- 
vous than  most  deer,  and  is  disposed  to  be  gentle  and 
even  affectionate.  But  as  a  rule  it  will  live  but  a  short 
time,  even  though  it  gets  the  same  food  which  it  had 
in  his  native  woods  This  is  one  of  the  noblest  wild 
animals  in  tbe  world,  and  it  should  be  given  adequate 
protection  throughout  its  range. 


IT    IS    WOKTH    GETTING. 

The  English  Stock-Keeper's  Christmas  edition  is  a 
number  that  we  must  recommend  for  tbe  attention  of 
fanciers.  It  is,  as  usual,  full  of  good  things — articles 
by  well-known  writers  about  various  breeds  and  on 
timely  topics,  portraits  of  prominent  breeders  and 
fanciers  and  pictures  of  a  "whole  raft"  of  crack  dogs. 
The  "feather"  part  of  the  number  is  also  a  most 
readable  and  interesting  feature.

Talks  to  Dog  Owners. 

EXERCISING. 

Thia  subject,  comprises  a  detail  of  management  with- 
out attention  to  which  no  d~g  owner  or  breeder  can 
hope  to  be  successful.  No  matter  how  well  a  dog  may 
be  fed,  how  elaborate  his  kennel  may  be,  or  how 
numerous  are  the  comforts  provided  him,  he  will 
never  be  the  animal  he  might  have  been  if  a  proper 
amount  of  exercise  is  denied  him.  No  doubt  some 
breeds,  and  occasionally  individual  members  of  the 
game  variety,  will  flourish  upon  less  exercise  than 
others  will,  but  all  dogs  require  a  certain  amount, 
and  this  is  an  impregnable  fact  which  all  beginners 
should  remember  when  selecting  a  breed,  else  they 
will  most  assuredly  regret  their  neglect  of  these  words 
of  advice. 

EXERCISING   BIG  DOGS. 

The  varieties  of  large  dogs  demand  in  all  probability 
more  attention  in  tho  way  of  exercise  than  the  medium 
weight  and  smaller  breeds;  and  for  the  simple  reason 
that  unless  their  limbs  are  strengthened  so  that  they 
can  support  the  weight  of  the  huge  bodies  they  have 
to  carry,  the  ankles  and  hocks  give  way,  and  the  feet 
become  splayed  and  unsightly.  Good  sensible  feeding, 
of  course,  goes  a  very  long  way  in  contributing 
towards  the  strength  of  the  limbs,  but  adequate  ex- 
ercise is  simply  indispensable,  and  it  should  take  the 
form  of  long  walks  at  a  moderate  pace.  Big  dogs  will 
not  as  a  rule,  gambol  about  and  enjoy  themselves  after 
the  manner  of  a  Terrier;  and  oven  if  some  do  so,  it  is 
the  long  slow  drag  that  lays  the  muscle  on  and  adds 
strength  to  the  limbs  and  joints.  At  the  same  time 
there  is  no  wisdom  in  tiring  a  dog  out  day  after  day 
by  taking  him  a  grind  that  it  is  beyond  his  strength 
to  accomplish  without  being  knocked  up.  An  hour  or 
so  four  days  a  week,  a  longer  period  on  the  other  two 
week  days,  and  a  rest  in  the  kennel  yard  or  paddock 
on  Sunday  will  keep  any  dog  fit;  but  this  is  the  al- 
owance  for  adults.  Growing  puppies  require  less  at 
*a  time  at  all  events,  and  a  couple  of  half-hours  on  the 
roads  will  usually  suffice  to  help  them  along;  but,  of 
course,  circumstances  alter  cases.  It  is  most  desirable 
that  the  walks  should  be  on  the  road,  and  not  on  grass, 
as  the  former  kind  of  exercise  hardens  the  soles  of  the 
feet  and  helps  to  keep  them  in  shape  if  the  work  is 
slow.  Oa  the  other  hand,  if  it  is  too  fast,  the  feet  get 
knocked  about,  and  the  concussion  renders  the  ani- 
mals liable  to  develop  splints,  as  in  the  case  of  a  horse, 
this  being  an  undoubted  fact  of  which  possibly  every 
dog  owner  may  not  be  aware. 

EXERCISING   MEDIUM-SIZED  DOGS. 

The  smaller  varieties,  such  as  Collies  and,  of  course, 
Terriers,  all  benefit  by  work  on  the  road,  but  it  may 
be  faster,  and  so  when  the  animals  are  old  enough 
they  can  be  allowed  to  follow  a  trap  or  cycle,  but  it  is 
as  bad  for  them  as  it  is  cruel  to  bring  them  along  for 
several  miles  at  top  speed.  Still  more  reprehensible  is 
tb.B  practice,  adopted  by  some  unthinking  people,  of 
fastening  their  unfortunate  dogs  to  the  axle  of  a 
vehicle,  beneath  which  they  are  compelled  to  travel 
long  distances  in  a  cloud  of  dust  or  over  rough  stones 
without  an  opportunity  for  relieving  the  wants  of 
nature  This  is  not  exercising  dogs,  but  sheer  bar- 
barity on  the  part  of  their  owners;  but  happily  this 
practice  is  now  less  common  than  it  used  to  be,  prob- 
ably because  the  management  of  dogs  is  better  under- 
stood. 

A  very  effective  way  of  making  the  active  varieties 
to  take  exercise  is  to  teach  them  to  run  after  a  ball; 
and  by  this  means  anybody  can  persuade  his  dog  to 
run  miles  in  a  small  yard  in  the  course  of  half  an  hour. 
The  way  to  begin  is  to  get  a  second  person  to  help 
you,  and  by  throwing  the  ball  from  one  to  another, 
the  dog  will  usually  soon  acquire  a  desire  to  partici- 
pate in  the  fun  and  learn  to  retrieve  the  object,  after 
which  the  work  is  a  one-handed  task. 

Some  people,  when  they  keep  game  Terriers, succeed 
in  inducing  the  animals  to  take  a  great  deal  of  exer- 
cise by  hanging  up  a  rat  in  a  wire  trap  just  beyond 
his  reach,  and  the  animal  will  devote  hours,  if  allowed 
to  do  so,  jumping  up  in  his  efforts  to  reach  the  vermin. 
Even  a  cat's  skin  suspended  at  the  end  of  the  pole  will 
accomplish,  in  the  case  of  some  Terriers,  similar 
results;  but  precautions  should  be  taken  to  prevent 
this  jumping  exercise  being  continued  for  too  long  a 
time,  else  the  dogs  will  become  discouraged  by  their 
want  of  success  and  decline  the  exercise  another  time. 

GENERAL  ROLES   FOR  EXERCISING. 

It  is  never  a  wise  thing  to  allow  dogs  to  stand  or 
lie  about  in  the  cold  if  they  come  back  to  kennel  over- 
heated. Very  likely  they  can  do  so  upon  many 
occasions  with  impunity,  but  the  day  may  come  when 
a  valuable  animal  contracts  a  chill  on  the  eve  of  a 
show,  and  then  regrets  are  useless.  It  is  also  a  very 
bad  thing  to  send  dogs  back  straight  to  their  sleeping 
quarters  whilst  they  are  wet,  and  consequently  they 
should  be,  at  all  events,  partially  dried  with  towels  if 
they  have  been  out  in  the  rain.  It  is  always  most  de- 
sirable, likewise,  to  examine  the  feet  thoroughly,  in 
order  to  satisfy  oneself  that  they  have  not  been  cut 
by  glass  or  a  piece  of  sharp  stone,  or  that  a  thorn  has 
not  lodged  itself  in  the  pad  or  between  the  toes.  Pre- 
cautions of  this  kind  may  perhaps  appear  absurd,  but 
accidents  will  happen,  and  it  is  therefore  worth  while 
taking  a  little  trouble  rather  than  run  the  risk  of 
having  a  good  dog  laid  by  for  weeks  at  a  time  when 
he  may  be  wanted.  The  advantages  derived  from  a 
run  in  a  meadow  at  night  directly  after  feeding  have 
already  been  referred  to,  but  this  final  scamper  is  so 
thoroughly  enjoyed,  and  entails  so  little  trouble  that 
when  the  weather  permits  it  ought  not  to  be  denied 
the  occupants  of  a  well  regulated  kennel,  whose 
master  desires  to  do  his  best  for  his  dogs. 


TRIMMING. 

Unfortunately  for  the  good  name  of  the  dog  world, 
the  gentle  art  of  illegitimately  improving  the  appear- 
ance of  dogs  is  largely  practiced  by  members  of  both 
the  exhibiting  and  non-exhibiting  communities.  Some 
of  the  "improvements"  to  which  the  animals  are 
subjected  are  unquestionably  of  a  most  reprehensible 
character,  whilst  others,  though  prohibited  by  the 
letter  of  the  laws  which  govern  dog  sbows,  are  by 
comparison  quite  trivial  offences.  Still,  the  very 
mildest  form  of  improvement  is  calculated  to  mislead 
the  uinitiated,  and  consequently  would-be  purchasers 
not  blessed  by  much  experience  should  use  every  en- 
deavor to  discover  if  any  trimming  has  been  resorted 
to  before  they  conclude  a  bargain  with  a  stranger  of 
whom  they  know  nothing.  At  the  same  time  it  is  a 
subject  of  very  great  regret  to  many  practical  dog 
owners  that  the  framers  of  the  anti  trimming  regu- 
lations used  no  effect  to  classify  the  offences  in  such  a 
way  that  the  importance  of  each  would  be  realized  by 
the  public.  For  instance,  no  reasonable  man  could 
possibly  regard  as  equally  objectionable  malpractices 
the  dyeing  of  a  dog's  coat  ana  the  rubbing  of  a  few 
drops  of  oil  on  the  jacket;  yet  both  operations  are  dis- 
allow?d  by  the  laws  of  dog  shows,  and  each  is  liable 
to  be  visited  by  the  severest  penalties. 

Amongst  the  common  offences  in  the  dyeing  line  is 
the  disguising  of  superfluous  hairB  by  the  application 
of  walnut  juice  or  other  coloring  matter  the  shade  of 
which  assimilates  with  that  of  the  coat.  Red-colored 
dogs,  such  as  Irish  Terriers,  are  bathed  in  water 
which  is  tinged  with  permanganate  of  potash  in  order 
to  produce  the  tint  desired;  objectionable  tan  hairs 
in  black  and  tan  Terriers  are  concealed  beneath  a 
coating  of  lunar  caustic;  and  in  tbe  case  of  toy  breeds 
the  art  of  the  illicit  animal  painter  is  practiced  freely. 
Such  practices  cannot  be  too  strongly  condemned; 
and  on  the  face  of  it,  it  is  absured  to  regard  the  ap- 
plication of  a  few  drops  of  brilliantine  or  oil  to  the 
hair  of  a  long-coated  dog  as  a  serious  offense.  The 
coats  of  dogs,  just  as  the  hair  of  human  beings,  are 
apt  to  become  dry  and  dull  at  times,  and  if  neglected 
will  become  completely  out  of  order,  and  yet  if  we  are 
to  follow  the  laws  of  dog  shows  implicity,  the  owner 
who  takes  such  a  simple  precaution  is  as  culpable  as 
the  man  who  willfully  stains  the  jacket  of  his  dog, —

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


CHAMPION     MEDAL    RECE1VJKD. 

Mrs.  C.  G  Saxe  has  received  the  handsome  A.  K.  C. 
champion  medal  for  the  harlequin  bitch  Princess 
Harlequin.  Princess  showed  style  and  quality  from 
puppy  class  clear  down  the  line. 


HIS    MASTER'S    VOICE. 

A  dog  worth  $35,000  has  been  on  exhibition  this 
week  in  the  show  window  of  a  local  music  store.  The 
dog  is  an  effigy  in  pure  gold  and  represents  the  trade 
mark  of  The  Victor  Talking  Machine  Company— tbe  - 
picture  is  a  familiar  one  in  this  country,  a  Fox  Terrier 
listening  to  the  sounds  emanating  from  a  talking 
machine. 

The  incident  which  led  to  the  adoption  of  the 
picture  as  an  advertising  medium  was  recounted  to  ue 
as  follows: 

Bob  Gavan,  a  Sacramento  sporting  man,  prior  to  a 
trip  to  Alaska  several  years  ago,  had  been  given  a 
Fox  Terrier  puppy  by  a  friend.  He  thought  much  of 
the  dog,  for  the  puppy  was  very  intelligent  and  finally 
became  a  close  pal  to  his  master  who  took  the  dog 
with  him  to  the  Artie  gold  country.  Gavan  finally 
located  in  Skaguay,  so  our  informant  stated,  and  con- 
ducted a  resort  for  the  entertainment  of  visitors  who 
were  thirsty  or  who  felt  inclined  to  woo  the  fickle 
goddess.  A  '  talking  machine"  was  placed  at  one 
end  of  the  bar  counter.  This  instrument  was  kept 
going  much  of  the  time,  greatly  to  tbe  entertain- 
ment and,  in  some  instances,  wonderment  of  many 
visitors  who  were  never  tired  of  listening  to  the  latest 
popular  songs,  etc.,  funny  scories  (?)  and  sayings 
ground  out  by  the  machine. 

The  dog  was  as  much  interested  apparently  as  any 
one  else,  for  whenever  the  machine  was  started  he 
would  jump  up  on  the  counter  and  locate  in  front  of 
the  trumpet-mouth  just  as  he  is  sho^n  in  the  picture. 
"His  master's  voice"  was  not  a  myth,  for  one  of  the 
discs  had  the  record,  and  for  his  special  benefit,  of  the 
well  known  voice  of  his  chum  and  owner. 

So  interesting  and  amusing  were  the  dog's  actions 
that  in  due  course  he  became  the  animate  and  ver^ 
popular  dual  attraction  whenever  the  machine  was 
turned  loose. 

A  correspondent  foran  Eastern  magazine  happening 
in  the  resort  one  day,  brought  his  camera  into  play 
with  the  result  now  so  well  known  throughout  the 
country. 

The  picture  was  a  hit  from  the  start,  to  Terrier 
fanciers  it  appeals  strongly,  as  a  trait  of  the  breed  but 
not  for  type. 

The  antithesis  of  the  "hit"  is  fhown  by  an  irrever- 
ent cartoonist  who  drew  the  dog  in  his  familiar 
attitude  surveying  an  overturned,  empty  decanter 
and  labelled  the  episode  "His  masters  breath." 

The  Alaskan  story  is  ciedited  to  Mr. Faxon  Riordan, 
Deputy  Assistant  Engineer  of  the  Construction 
Department  of  the  Santa  Fe  Road. 


DELEGATE     TO     A.     K.     C. 

Mr.  W.  W.  Stettheimer  of  this  city  has  been  elected 
a  delegate  to  the  American  Kennel  Club  to  represent 
the  San  Mateo  Kennel  Club. 

Mr.  Stettheimer  is  an  enthusiastic  fancier  and  has  a 
penchant  for  Fox  Terriers.  The  San  Mateo  Kennel 
Club  is  to  be  congratulated  in  having  a  "live  one"  to 
look  after  its  interests  at  headquarters. 


GLEN    TANA    COLLIES. 

A  letter  received  from  Mr.  Thos.  S.  Griffith  states: 

"I  see  by  the  papers  that  the  W.  K.  L.  is  a  thing  of 
the  past.  You  see  how  very  unlucky  it  has  turned 
out  for  Marquis  not  going  to  Lcs  Angeles  as  he  had 
four  winners  to  his  credit  and  would  have  been  a 
champion  now,  only  for  that  unfortunate  mix  up. 

"After  the  Providence  show  I  expect  Glen  Tana 
Bounder,  Glen  Tana  Talent  and  Glen  Tana  Cracksman 
home." 

We  have  not  yet  been  advised  that  "the  W.  K.  L. 
is  a  thing  of  the  past."  Efforts  have  been  made, 
however,  to  bring  about  a  coalition  of  Coast  dogdom. 
Overtures  tending  that  way  were  made  to  the  Pacific 
Advisory  Board  as  the  Coast  representative  of  the  A. 
K.  C.  Concessions  were  asked  for  and  delegates  sug- 
gested on  the  Coast  commit  tee — the  latter  to  be  elected 
by  clubs  represented.  So  far,  the  matter  is  still  under 
consideration. 

The  "unfortunate  mix  up"  above  referred  to  was 
the  direct  cause  for  the  disqualification  of  handler 
Bradshaw. 

Glen  Tana  Marquis  was  in  stud  at  Bradshaw's 
kennels  for  a  brief  time,  a  period  during  which  tbe 
kennels  were  advertised  as  under  the  ownership  of  a 
former  employee,  of  Bradshaw's.  Neither  Marquis 
nor  the  youth  temporarily  in  charge  of  the  kennels 
are  now  there.  

SOMETHING    GOOD    IN    BULLS. 

W.  H.  Papst  took  his  clever  bitch  True  Blue  down 
to  Wandee  Kennels  this  weetc  to  be  served  by  Ivel 
Damon. 

A  litter  by  Damon  turned  out  so  well  that  the 
daughter  of  Ch  Ivel  Rustic  will  be  bred  to  the  Wandee 
stud  dog  again.  

A    STANDARD     REMEDY. 

Veterinary  Pixine  we  can  recommend  for  skin 
ailments,  Incised  orlascerated  wounds.  It  is  a  pene- 
trating, stimulating,  soothing,  nutritive,  absorbing, 
antiseptic,  healing  ointment,  produces  the  most 
effective  and  speedy  results  on  all  chronic  and  acute 
inflammatory  sores  and  skin  affections.  Contains  no 
poisonous,  harsh,  gritty  or  mineral  substance. 

It  is  in  combining  and  manipulating  together  the 
purest  and  most  potent  animal  and  vegetable  drugs 
known  that  makes  this  the  most  effective  healing 
ointment  on  the  market.  Has  greater  penetrating 
power  than  any  other  ointment.  Heals  from  beneath 
the  surface  by  disinfecting  tbe  parts,  subduing  inflam- 
mation and  stimulating  healthy  granulations;  not  by 
drying  up  and. scabbing  as  do  many  other  veterinary 
preparations.  Sample  boxes  can  be  obtained  at  the 
office  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.

COAST    FIELD    TRIALS. 

The  Pacific  Coast  Field  Trials  Club's  twenty-second 
annual  trials  will  begin  near  Bakersfield  on  Monday 
morning.  The  Derby  will  be  the  first  stake  followed 
by  the  All-Age.  Members,  and  Champion  stakes.  H  L. 
Betten  will  officiate  in  the  saddle.  For  each  of  three 
stakes  there  will  be  three  elegant  prizes— first,  second 
and  third  choice  to  the  winner  in  the  order  of  wins. 
The  beautiful  Champion  cup  must  be  won  twice  to 
ensure  permanent  ownership.  The  trophy  was 
originally  donated  by  Will  S.  Tevis  who  won  it  and 
graciously  re  donated  the  cup  for  competition  again 
in  the  stake.  Hon  W.  E.  Gerber  of  Sacramento  has 
donated  a  handsome  cup  for  the  winner  of  second 
place  in  this  event. 

Conditions  are  reported  to  be  most  favorable  for  a 
good  meeting.  The  class  of  the  Derby  dogs  is  assur- 
ing for  a  grand  showing.  The  All- Age  is  full  of  vim 
and  quality.  The  attendance  of  club  members  and 
visiting  sportsmen  anticipated  will  be  an  encouraging 
recognition  of  the  club's  efforts  in  fostering  the  sport. 

Secretary  Albert  Bet2  will  represent  the  BREEDER 
and  Sportsman  at  the  trials  a  full  report  of  which 
will  appear  in  due  course, 


GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


EMPIRE    GUN     CLUB. 

Secretary  J.  B.  Hauer  reports  that  at  the  regular 
monthly  meeting  of  the  Empire  Gun  Club  held  Wed- 
nesday night  the  following  officers  were  elected  to 
serve  for  the  ensuing  year:  President,  James  P. 
Sweeney,  vice-president,  Dr.  George  G.  Gere;  secre- 
tary-treasurer, J.  B.  Hauer;  captain,  A.  J.  Webb; 
lieutenant,  W.  O  Cullen;  sergeant  it  arms,  C.  A. 
Bennett.  Every  officer  of  the  club  was  re-elected, 
which  speaks  in  a  gratifying  manner  of  the  esteem  in 
which  they  are  held  by  the  large  membership  and  the 
appreciation  of  the  various  duties  performed  by  each 
official.  The  same  committeemen  were  named  hy 
President  Sweeney  as  are  at  present  handling  the 
club's  affairs,  namely:  Executive  committee — Dr. 
George  G.  Gere,  J.  B.  Hauer,  F.  H.  Judah,  J.  Peltier, 
Con  Roman. 

The  club's  finances  were  reported  in  excellent  con- 
dition. The  initiatory  fee  was  raised  to  $200,  begin- 
ning July  1st,  next.  Besides  enjoying  great  prosper- 
ity, the  club  boasts  of  having  a  full  membership  and 
a  long  waiting  list.        

AN    UNFORTUNATE    ACCIDENT. 

On  Tuesday  evening  last  near  Collinsville  a  serious 
accident  occurred  which  for  the  time  being  jeopardized 
the  lives  of  six  people.  The  unfortunate  mishap  was 
due  to  the  carelessness  and  stupidity  of  a  rancher 
who  was  regularly  emoloyed  to  drive  the  Montezuma 
and  Black  Jack  Gun  Club  memberB  and  guests  to  their 
respective  club  houses  when  they  visited  their  shoot- 
ing grounds  for  a  duck  hunt.  The  route  from  Collins- 
ville to  the  club  houses  is  over  an  adobe  road  that  in 
soveral  places  is  steep,  has  abrupt  turns,  or  deep  banks 
on  the  outer  side  of  a  grading,  making  it  a  dangerous 
driveway  in  the  dark.  The  party  in  the  veniole  were 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  W.  \V.  Richards,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  T.J. 
Walsh,  J.  G.  Ferguson,  all  of  this  city  and  O'Neal  the 
driver. 

Starting  from  the  Collinsville  wharf  in  the  dark, 
Richards  protested  against  the  drive  without  a 
lantern.  O'Neal  insisted  that  he  knew  the  road  and 
he  could  get  safely  to  their  destination.  With  some 
misgiving  and  after  further  insistence  upon  getting  a 
lantern  the  team  drove  on  safely  and  speedily,  until 
arriving  at  a  part  of  the  road  where  the  bank  shelved 
steeply  three  or  four  feet  on  one  side,  here  the  horses 
left  thf  driveway  in  the  black  darkness,  with  the 
i  [  the  wagon  was  tipped  over  the  .hank  and 
ckj  occupants  spilled  out.    The  ladies  were 


both  badly  bruised.  Mr.  Richards  escaped  luckily 
from  getting  injured.  Mr.  Walsh  sustained  a  severe 
fracture  of  the  left  arm  and  contusions  of  the  face 
while  Mr.  Ferguson,  who  is  an  older  man  was  found  to 
be  seiiously  injured  internally. 

Medical  aid  was  hastily  summoned  from  Rio  Vista, 
the  physician  arriving  several  hours  after  the  acci- 
dent. Next  day  the  party  came  back  to  this  city  on 
the  first  down  boat.  Mr.  Ferguson  is  now  in  a  hospi- 
tal and  will  probably  be  laid  up  for  some  time.  Mr. 
Walsh  is  getting  along  comfortably.  The  ladies, 
though  severely  jarred  and  bruised,  will  soon  be  all 
right  again.  Mr.  Richards  is  to  be  congratulated 
upon  his  narrow  escape  from  painful  injury.  The 
carelessness  and  obstinacy  of  the  driver  cannot  be  too 
severely  condemned. 

A    VETERAN    SPORTSMAN    GONE. 

In  the  passing  away  of  Hon.  Thos.  J  Sherwood  at 
Marysville,  on  December  22d,  the  sportsmen  of  this 
State  have  lost  a  staunch  advocate  and  active  worker 
in  the  interest  of  fish  and  game  protection.  Mr. 
Sherwood,  years  ago,  recognizing  the  necessity  of 
prompt  action,  introduced  the  first  gamelaw  that  was 
enacted  in  California.  He  took  a  prominent  part  in 
all  deliberations  of  the  California  State  Sportsmen's 
Association  and  was  deeply  interested  in  the  revision 
of  State  laws  affecting  the  protection  of  game.  Besides 
being  a  most  loyal  friend  and  genial  comrade  he  was 
also  an  exceptionally  liberal  man  and  performed  many 
kindly  and  charitable  acts  for  old  pioneer  friends  of 
Northern  California. 

For  fourteen  years  he  was  the  editor  and  proprietor 
of  the  Marysville  Evening  Democrat  and  had  since 
1860  filled  many  public  offices  of  trust  and  responsi- 
bility with  honor  to  himself  and  benefit  to  his  con- 
stituents. He  waB  a  native  of  New  York  state  and 
had  resided  in  Marysville  since  1858,  being  70  years  of 
age  at  the  time  of  his  demise. 


springs  are  used  and  secured  to  the  rear  extremity  of 
the  tube. 

Proper  provisions  are  made  for  the  operation  of  the 
shell  extractor  and  other  parts  of  the  gun. 

In  the  double-barrel  shotgun  the  rifle-tube  attach- 
ment may  he  inserted  and  remain  in  one  ol  the  barrels 
and  ready  for  instant  use,  while  the  remaining  barrel 
will  be  left  free  for  service  in  discharging  shells  con- 
taining shot.  In  single-barrel  shotguns  the  rifle-tube 
attachment  may  be  applied  when  found  desirable. 


GAME    BIRD    IMPORTATION. 

A  special  investigation  made  by  the  Department  of 
Agriculture  on  the  workings  of  the  Lacey  Act  shows 
that  the  game  birds  imported  into  the  United  States 
under  the  permits  granted  under  the  act  number 
almost  24,000.  There  were  about  4000  pheasants,  al- 
most 17,000  quail,  750  partridge,  1473  ducks  and  geese 
and  477  miscellaneous  birds. 

The  pheasants  came  chiefly  from  Canada  and  Bel- 
gium, the  quail  from  China,  partridges  from  Ger- 
many. England  furnished  pheasants  and  a  few 
partridges.  China  and  Japan  sent  pheasants  and 
water-fowl. 

The  pheasants  wereohiefly  the  Mongolian  and  Eng- 
lish, and  were  imported  for  game  preserves.  The 
partridges  were  nearly  all  the  gray  partridge  of 
Europe.  Among  the  duck  and  geese  were  mandarin 
and  wood  ducks.  About  230  swans  and 65  capercailzie 
were  brought  in  also. 

Six  importations  of  the  eggs  of  game  birds  were 
made  and  about  2000  eggs  were  set  under  pheasants 
and  partridges  here  and  hatched.  The  results  of 
attempts  with  eggs  were  highly  unfavorable  in  1903 
because  the  severe  weather  weakened  the  young  birds 
excessively  where  it  did  not  kill  them  outright;  and 
the  scarcity  of  food  that  followed  finished  almost  all 
the  yearlings  that  managed  to  survive  the  bad 
weather. 

Breeders  do  not  feel  discouraged,  however,  be- 
cause they  all  realize  that  1903  did  not  offer  a  fair 
season  for  a  test.  This  method  of  propagating  game 
birds  is  successful  in  most  countries  and,  no  doubt, 
will  prove  equally  so  here.  It  is,  of  course,  vastly 
more  economical  than  the  method  of  importing  grown 
birds  and  turning  them  loose.  For  every  dozen  adult 
birds  thus  liberated  a  couple  of  hundred  birds  can  be 
produced  by  using  the  eggs. 

The  ring-necked  pheasant  has  done  so  well  in 
Oregon  that  it  is  announced  officially  that  the  bird 
has  become  acclimated  and  is  now  to  be  viewed  as  a 
reliable  part  of  the  game  of  the  State.  Unfortunately, 
the  method  of  raising  pheasants  in  other  states  has 
been  so  costly  that  most  of  them  have  stopped  it. 
Thus,  Ohio  appropriated  S9000  between  1900  and  1902 
for  this  work  and  distributed  3919  eggs  and  6575 
pheasants.  In  1902  the  appropriation  ran  out,  and 
since  then  nothirg  more  has  been  done. 


TWO    WEAPONS    IN    ONE. 

A  recent  invention,  consisting  of  an  elongated  tube, 
having  the  rear  extremity  enlarged  and  shaped  to 
conform  to  the  contour  of  the  rear  extremity  of  the 
barrel  into  which  it  is  fitted,  makes  it  possible  for 
hunters  to  have  both  a  rifle  and  shotgun  in  the  one 
weapon  at  considerable  less  expense  than  two  distinct 
guns  would  cost.  The  rear  enlarged  extremity  of  the 
rifle-tube  terminates  in  a  rear  circumferential  flange 
which  is  slipped  into  the  cartridge-ring  recess  in  the 
rear  end  of  the  barrel,  and  to  sustain  the  tube  in  tight 
frictional  engagement  with  the  barrel  one  or  more 


SMALL    BORES     BECOMING    FAVORITES 

Duck  hunters  of  experience  have  marveled  more 
than  a  little  at  the  "small-bore  craze"  which  now  bids 
fair  to  run  the  same  course  in  shotguns  that  has 
already  been  traversed  in  rifled  arms. 

At  a  period  not  so  remote  but  that  it  is  still  fresh  in 
the  memory  of  every  veteran  of  the  scattergun,  the 
ten-bore  was  universally  conceded  to  be  as  light  a 
weapon  as  was  compatible  with  success  in  duck  shoot- 
ing and  not  a  few  hunters  clung  to  the  double  eight 
bore  as  the  arm  par  excellence  for  this  exacting  branch 
of  sport. 

There  were  more  ducks  in  those  days  than  now, and 
the  birds  were  less  difficult  to  get  because  being  more 
plenty  they  were  not  hunted  down  as  closely  as  in  the 
last  decade.  Therefore  a  respectable  bag  required 
less  of  a  gun  and  itB  pointer  than  in  the  present  times 
of  comparative  duck  scarcity,  yet  the  sportsman  of 
today  is  killing  his  birds  with  a  smaller,  and  presum- 
ably less  powerful  arm  than  formerly.  Whether  the 
difference  is  more  imaginary  than  real,  only  the  men 
who  have  used  both  large  and  small-bore  guns  are 
prepared  to  point  out,  and  the  majority  of  them  affirm 
that  the  little  pieces,  though  they  require  closer  hold- 
ing, kill  as  far  as  any. 

The  transition  from  the  eight  and  ten-bore  duck 
guns  to  the  twelve  gauge  has  already  been  experienced, 
and  it  is  bo  marked  that  in  all  probability  not  a  dczen 
good  hammerless  ten  bores  could  be  bought  new  in 
this  city  today,  the  demand  being  entirely  for  a 
smaller  arm.  In  fact,  a  twelve  gauge  of  a  certain 
grade  is  worth  just  double  what  a  ten  bore  of  the 
same  face  value  will  bring. 

American  sportsmen  are  world-famed  for  their 
enterprise  as  well  as  for  their  antipathy  to  a  conserva- 
tive course  in  their  amusements.  Fads  are  constantly 
coming  and  going,  and  many  believe  the  present  rage 
for  sixteen  and  twenty  bores  will  run  the  usualcourse, 
but  there  ars  so  many  sound  reasons  in  their  favor 
that  converts  are  being  made  every  month,  and  so 
long  as  this  remains  the  case,  the  small  guns  will  stand 
high  in  public  favor. 

Many  who  use  the  small  bores  on  quail  regularly 
have  not  yet  learned  their  power  in  duck  shooting. 
The  salient  features  of  a  sixteen  gauge's  work  on  a 
duck  marsh  are  its  surprising  range  and  the  uniform 
cleanness  with  which  it  either  kills  the  birds  or  misses 
them  entirely.  It  would  appear  that  the  entire 
charge  has  killing  force,  as  there  are  fewer  body-shot 
birds  dropping  hundreds  of  yards  away  than  are  lost 
with  a  twelve.  A  gunner  must  be  more  careful  in  his 
aim  as  he  has  less  shot-spread  to  fallback  upon  than 
with  a  twelve,  though  after  all  the  difference  is  not  as 
great  as  many  imagine.  Most  users  of  sixteens  shoot 
an  ounce  of  shot  at  ducks,  and  back  it  with  a  propor- 
tionate load  of  dense  or  bulk  smokeless  powders,  Du 
Pont,  "Infallible,"  "E.  C",  Schultze  and  C. 
P.  W.  being  the  favorites  Users  of  twelve  bores 
realize  that  ducks  to  be  killed  clean  must  be  "cen- 
tered" by  the  charge,  and  those  able  to  do  clean  work 
with  the  larger  gun  may  rest  assured  that  they  will 
get  corresponding  results  with  the  sixteens,  have  less 
metal  to  carry,  and  a  lighter  load  of  shells. 

Many  maintain  the  sixteen  bore  is  "quicker"  than 
a  twelve.  The  truth  of  this  probably  is  that  the  gun 
is  lighter,  and  therefore  easier  to  swing  well  before 
passing  birds.  Some  shooters  complain  o  a  tendency 
to  overlead  on  this  account  but  such  a  fault  is  readily 
remedied;  it  is  never  common  in  ducking. 

Just  how  far  the  small  bore  craze  will  go  it  will  be 
interesting  to  note.  In  England  twenty,  twenty-four 
and  even  twenty  eight  bores  are  much  used  by  the 
wealthy  sportsmen,  but  these  guns  are  aardly  likely 
to  become  popular  where  the  conditions  of  shooting 
are  as  difficult  as  in  this  country.  Here  there  are  no 
beaters  to  drive  partridges  over  hedges  within  thirty 
yards  distance.  For  some  uses  the  twenty  bores  give 
good  satisfaction,  particularly  on  quail.

THE   FARM 


Teeth  of  Animals. 


At  the  Smithfield  and  Birmingham 
Bhow8  the  following  rules  govern  the 
judgment  of  the  age  of  animals  : 

Cattle  having  their  central  permanent 
incisors  cut  will  be  considered  as  exceed- 
ing one  vear  and  nine  mouths. 

Cattle  having  their  central  permanent 
incisors  fully  up  will  be  considered  as 
exceeding  one  year  and  nine  months.

manent incisors  cut  will  be  considered  as 
exceeding  two  years  and  eight  months. 

Cattle  having  their  fourth  pair  (corner)

anterior  molars  Bhowing  signs  of  wear 
will  be  considered  as  exceeding  three 
years. 

Sheep  having  their  central  permanent 
incisors  cut  will  be  considered  as  exceed-

cisors shed  and  the  permanents  appearing 
will  be  considered  as  exceeding  fifteen 
months. 

Pigs  having  their  lateral  permanent  in- 
ciBors  fully  up  will  be  considered  as  ex- 
ceeding eighteen  months. 


Feed  of  Brood  Sows. 


Mutton  Chops. 


Mexican  Stock  Inferior. 


Mexican  cattle  are  of  inferior  grade  i 
and  small.  In  American  money  the 
average  value  of  Mexican  cattle  is  $7.27 
per  head.  If  they  were  of  fair  grade,  it 
would  pay  to  market  them  in  the  United 
States,  even  with  the  border  duty  added. 
Mexican  sheep  are  worth  relatively  less. 
The  average  value  of  sheep  is  80  cents 
per  head,  that  of  goats  78  cents  and  hogs  ' 
$1.57  in  our  currency.  That  indicates 
both  smallness  in  size,  thinness  in  con- 
dition and  general  inferiority  in  quality. 
If  this  stock  had  any  real  merchantable 
condition  it  would  pay  to  slaughter  it  in 
Mexico,  pay  the  duty  on  the  meat  and 
ship  the  carcass  across  the  border.  As  a 
matter  of  fact  the  animals  are  unsalable 
because  of  their  grade  and  condition. 
The  relatively  few  "bred  up"  stock  are 
expensive  in  Mexico. 


It  seems  to  be  necessary  to  say  again 
that  it  is  a  costly  mistake  to  feed  a  sow 
liberally  just  before  she  is  to  farrow,  and 
especially  if  Bhe  has  a  large  udder  and 
gives  other  indications  of  developing 
milk  freely.  And  it  iB  a  fact  that  such 
feeding  is  more  dangerous  with  older  and 
large  sows  than  with  cows,  for  sulphur 
milk  can  be  drawn  from  them  as  it  can- 
not be  Irom  sows,  and  with  the  last  milk 
fever  and  maybe  pig  eating  will  result. — 
Farm  Stock  and  Home. 


The  Milker. 


The  milker  Bhould  be  clean  in  person 
and  ways  and  perfectly  healthy.  If  not 
he  may  throw  off  germs  of  disease  in 
breathing  or  coughing,  says  Prairie 
Farmer.  If  his  breath  is  contaminated 
with  tobacco  the  milk  cannot  entirely  es- 
cape contamination,  and  if  his  hands  are 
soiled  the  milk  must  be  dirty. 


Sulphur,  or  snuff,  rubbed  through  the 
fleece,  will  destroy  ticks. 

The  best  single  grain  for  breeding 
sheep  is  oats.  Bran  is  also  good  for 
breeding  ewes  to  stimulate  them  and 
produce  strong  lambs. 

Corn  should  be  restricted  to  the  fatten- 
ing flock,  and  then  must  be  fed  with  a 
nitrogenous  food  such  as  clover  hay. 

Timothy  hay  is  not  suited  to  the  needs 
of  the  sheep;  digestive  disorders  occur 
when  timothy  hay  is  fed,  which  often  re  ■ 
suit  in  the  loss  of  the  sheep.  Clover  and 
mixed  hay  may  be  fed  to  the  flock  with 
good  results. 

A  few  neglected  sheep  will  eat  up  the 
profit  of  several  good  ones.  Get  rid  of 
the  unprofitable  ones  andgive  theothers 
good  care. 


The  manger  question  for  feeding  rows 
is  an  extremely  difficult  one.  We  would 
be  pleased  to  have  suggestions  from 
feedera.  They  should  be  so  arranged  as 
to  be  thoroughly  cleaned.

Dairy  Maxims. 


Feed  your  cows  twi«je  a  day  at  regular 
intervals  and  h<ive  pure  water  and  salt 
always  accessible. 

A  dairy  cow  does  not  need  bo  much  ex- 
ercise as  a  trotting  horse. 

You  do  not  need  a  dog  to  drive  up  dairy 
cattle. 

A  cow  with  a  good  escutcheon  and 
nothing  else  should  be  butchered.' 

A  cow  likes  a  variety  of  food.  Gratify 
her  taste  as  often  as  you  can. 


Competent  men  are  extremely  hard 
to  find  for  the  dairy.  It  demands  a 
number  of  complications  which  not  every 
man  possesses.  If  he  has  them  he  is 
almost  sure  to  be  working  for  himself. 


Cows  have  their  likes  and  dislikes,  and 
when  preparing  a  ration  for  cows  the  im- 
portance of  palatability  must  not  be  over- 
looked. If  they  will  not  eat  it,  it  will  do 
them  no  good.

Cost  of  Feeding  for  Beet. 


What  does  it  really  cost  to  feed  cattle, 
and  is  there  a  reasonable  profit  in  the 
business?  I  will  give  my  expe.ience. 
and  hope  that  some  kind  feeder  will 
reciprocate.  For  our  present  purpose,  no 
account  is  taken  of  interest  on  the  money 
invested,  the  care  of  the  stock  or  the  use 
oi  the  yards.  The  expense  for  the  last 
two  items  is  fully  covered  by  the  benefits 
to  the  farm.  Don't  forget  this  item-the 
benefits  to  the  farm. 

Last  year  I  fed  ninety-six  steerB  an 
average  of  8  1-5  months  I  had  ninety- 
four  shotes  and  raised  203  pigs.  The  corn- 
fed  averaged  14  6  bushels  for  each  steer 
per  month,  and  the  average  gain  was 
fifty-eight  pounds  per  month  net  Chicago 
weights  over  weights  paid  for  when  the 
cattle  were  bought.  The  whole  gain  on 
the  cattle  was  45,G0O  pounds,  and  on  the 
hogs  30,280  pounds.  If  we  divide  the  corn 
fed  between  the  bogs  and  cattle  in  the 
ratio  of  their  gain— say  nothing  about  the 
hay,  pasture,  fodder,  etc.— we  will  have 
two-fifths  of  the  corn  fed  to  charge  to  the 
hogs,  and  of  course  three-fifths  to  the 
cattle.  The  whole  gain  of  beef  and  pork 
averaged  6.6  pounds  for  each  bushel  of 
corn  fed.  The  coBt  of  each  pound  of  gain, 
counting  everything,  was  5  8  cents,  corn 
costing  on  an  average  thirty-four  cent. 

Cattle  made  a  gross  profit  of  $4251.42. 
HogB  made  a  gross  profit  of  $1863  79.  So 
that  on  the  basis  of  profits  the  division  of 
the  corn  fed  should  be  about  as  above 
stated.  Whole  profit  on  hogs  and  cattle, 
$6115.21.  Whole  cost  of  corn,  hay  fodder 
and  pasture,  $4411.70.  Net  profit  for  the 
year,  $1603.51.  The  cattle  were  sold  at 
about  $1.90  over  cost  price  and  the  hogs 
at  $1  over  invoice  price. 

Two  years  ago  I  fed  135  steers  an  aver- 
age of  7.9  months.  The  corn  fed  averaged 
12  55  bushels  for  each  steer  per  month. 
Net  gain  fifty-two  pounds  per  month. 
Whole  gain  on  the  cattle  waB  55,390 
pounds,  on  the  hogs  36,730  pounds.  The 
average  gain  on  the  hogs  was  a  little  more 
than  the  first  year  given,  leaving  fully 
two-fifths  of  the  corn  fed  to  be  charged  to 
the  hogs.  The  whole  gain  for  each  bushel 
of  corn  fed  was  6.85  pounds.  Net  cost  of 
each  pound  of  gain  4  47  cents, corn  costing 
twenty-eight  cents  The  increased  gain 
for  the  corn  fed  is  accounted  for,  in  part, 
at  least  by  the  fact  that  this  year's  ac- 
count was  opened  August  16th  and  closed 
one  year  from  the  next  December,  thus 
giving  two  falls  for  feed — the  best  and 
cheapest  time  to  feed  any  kind  of  stock. 
The  low  monthly  gain  is  also  due  in  part 
to  the  fact  that  most  of  these  cattle  were 
bought  under  a  heavy  shrink.  And  yet 
you  will  observe  that  a  low  monthly  gain 
is  not  inconsistent  with  a  cheap  gain. 
These  cattle  made  a  gross  profit,  of  $3984.04 
and  the  hogs  $1777.79,  so  that  on  this 
basis  the  division  of  corn  fed  should  be 
about  one-third  to  the  hogs. 

Whole  profit,  gross,  $5761.83,  whole 
cost  of  corn,  fodder,  pasture,  $4120.50; 
net  profit  for  the  year,  $1641.33. 

The  cattle  sold  at  about  $1  over  cost 
price,  and  the  bogs  at  about  invoice 
price. 

Three  years  ago  I  fed  fifty-two  steers  an 
average  of  7.7  months.  The  corn  fed 
averaged  fourteen  bushels  per  month 
each.  Net  gain  filty-nine  pounds  per 
month.  Whole  gain  on  cattle  23,720 
pounds,  on  hogs,  13  470  pounds.  The 
gain  on  the  hogs  is  not  up  to  the  average 
in  the  other  two  years  ;  the  reason  being 
that  I  was  short  of  hogs  all  the  earlier 
part  of  the  year,  and  was  afraid  to  buy  on 
account  of  sickness.  The  whole  gain  for 
each  bushel  of  corn  fed  was  6.6  pounds, 
the  same  as  for  the  first  year.  Each 
pound  of  gain  cost  4.2S  cents, corn, twenty- 
six  cents.  Gross  profit  on  cattle, $2272.23; 
on  hogs,  $534  23.  Whole  profit.  $2806.56. 
Cost  of  all  feed  and  extra  labor,  $1590  46. 
Net  profit  for  the  vear,  $1216  10.  Gain  in 
price  on  cattle,  $1.75  per  hundred  pounds; 
h  >gs  about  twenty-five  cents  per  one 
hundred  pounds. 


Breeding  Draft  Horses. 

Do  not  think  you  can  raiBe  a  big  colt 
from  a  large  sire  and  dam  unless  you  feed 
well  while  the  colt  is  growing.  He  should 
be  able  to  earn  his  board  from  the  time  he 
is  three  years  old  until  ready  for  market. 
Excepting  mares  that  are  kept  for  breed- 
ing, a  farmer  should  not  keep  his  horses 
after  they  are  five  years  old.  I  believe  in 
raising  horses  to  sell  the  same  as  cattle 
and  hogs  or  sheep-as  soon  as  they  can 
be  gotten  ready  for  market.  Good  draft 
horses  will  pay  well  for  their  feed  at  any 
time  between  two  and  five  years  of  age, 
and  the  farmer  should  alwayB  have  a 
younger  one  to  take  the  place  of  the  one 
sold.  AVe  began  breeding  the  draft  horse 
in  '90  and  believe  it  has  paid  us  about  as 
well  as  anything  we  could  have  raised  for 
the  feed  consumed.  It  costs  but  very 
little  more  to  raise  a  good  draft  horse 
than  it  does  to  raise  and  grow  a  steer  and 
put  him  on  the  market  fat  I  leave  you 
farmers  to  decide  which  is  the  most  profit- 
able Bale. 

I  believe  the  time  is  not  far  distant 
when  good  draft  geldings  in  good  con- 
dition will  sell  for  as  much  as  they  ever 
did  in  this  country.  Feed  for  big  ones, 
the  larger  the  better,  if  they  are  finished 
np  and  topped  out  right.  You  cannot 
'successfully  breed  or  raise  horses  without 
exercising  good  judgment  and  having  the 
subject  thoroughly  mastered-  Breeders 
who  are  successful  are  those  who  study 
and  mark  out  a  definite  line  to  follow  and 
then  stick  to  it  year  after  year.    Any  man 


The  Feet  of  Horses. 


An  English  agricultural  journal  says 
that  the  nature  of  the  soil  on  which 
horses  are  bred  and  reared  has  a  certain 
influence  on  the  shape  and  quality  of 
their  hoofs.  Horses  bred  in  hilly  districts 
as  a  general  rule  possess  comparatively 
upright  and  small,  but  very  strong  and 
tough  feet,  while  the  hoofs  of  horses 
reared  on  marshy  and  low  lying  land  are 
of  exactly  the  opposite  character,  being 
usually  big,  more  or  leas  flat  or  spreading 
and  soft. 

There  is,  of  course,  a  considerable 
amount  of  difference  in  the  quality  and 
shape  of  the  feet  of  individual  horseB 
bred  under  exactly  the  same  conditions 
of  soil.  But,  broadly  speaking,  the 
shape  of  a  horse's  foot  is  in  all  cases 
governed  to  a  greater  or  less  extent  by 
the  class  of  Boil  on  which  the  animal  iB 
bred  and  reared.  Damp  soil  causes  the 
production  of  soft,  spongy  horn  in  the 
feet  of  young  horses,  and  dryness,  on  the 
other  hand,  favors  the  growth  of  tough 
and  closely  textured  horn. 

The  feet  of  growing  horses  reared  on 
soft,  6pongy  and  damp  soil  are  very  apt 
to  become  overgrown  or  badly  shaped, 
owing  to  the  insufficient  amount  of  wear 
which  the  horn  is  subjected  to  on  such 
soil.  In  consequence  of  the  horn  con- 
tinually growing  and  not  sufficient  of  it 
being  worn  away  the  hoofB  readily  become 
overgrown,  and  if  this  is  not  remedied  by 
the  use  of  the  drawing  knife  they  eventual- 
ly assume  a  bad  shape. 


Breeding  Stock. 


A  LOAD    OF  ALFALFA 


of  good  intelligence  can  be  successful  in 
some  degree  in  breeding  draft  horses. 

Good  horses  always  command  good 
prices,  while  inferior  animals  are  offered 
on  the  market  at  most  any  price.  In 
making  selection  of  sire  or  dam,  it  is  well 
to  take  into  consideration  the  constitu- 
tional vigor,  intelligence,  muscular  power, 
and,  above  all,  perfect  soundness  in  limb, 
body  and  internal  organs.  These  matters 
must  not  be  overlooked  if  you  desire  a 
good  foal.  To  be  successful  in  breeding 
horses  you  must  have  an  intelligent  con- 
ception of  the  subject,  in  all  its  details  and 
requirements. 

It  is  a  good  policy  to  keep  your  horses 
always  fat.  If  you  have  any  horses  for 
sale  you  cannot  afford  to  offer  them  on 
the  market  in  a  poor  condition.  When  a 
thin  horse  is  led  out  for  inspection,  he  is 
at  a  great  disadvantage.  Purchasers  will 
always  pay  a  higher  price  for  a  fat  horse. 
You  never  saw  a  handsome  horse  that 
was  poor  and  run  down.  Some  men  say 
they  would  not  buy  a  horse  that  was 
loaded  down  with  fat,  but  the  indisputa- 
ble fact  remains  that  in  the  public  sale 
ring  or  in  the  private  stable,  the  horse 
that  is  in  good  flesh  brings  by  far  the  best 
price,  other  things  being  equal.  No  man 
can  tell  whether  a  poor  horse  can  be 
fattened  or  not.  Now  and  then  some 
horses  cannot  be  fattened,  and  the 
stranger  will  be-  afraid  that  your  thin 
horse  is  one  of  that  kind. — Ohio  Farmer. 


-ober  up  on  Jackson's  Napa  Soda. 


When  young  horses  are  reared  on  dry 
uplying  land,  where  the  soil  is  com- 
paratively firm  and  hard,  the  horn  of  the 
hoofs  wear  away  at  a  much  more  rapid 
rate  than  it  does  in  the  case  of  spongv 
and  Boft  soil,  and  there  is  much  less  risn 
of  the  feet  becoming  overgrown  or  assum- 
ing a  bad  Bhape.  In  practice  this  is 
simply  borne  out  by  the  fact  that  the 
percentage  of  cases  of  badly  Bbaped  feet 
is  much  Binaller  among  horaes  reared  on 
dry  and  firm  soil  than  it  ia  among  those 
that  have  been  bred  on  aoft  and  marahy 
land. 


A  Tribute  to  Scotch  Cattle. 


Poultry  in  the  orchard  helps  the  orchard 
by  destroying  insects  and  scattering 
manure. 


A  tribute  auch  as  never  before  has  been 
paid  to  any  breed  of  cattle,  Bays  the 
Breeders  Gazette,  comes  from  Britain  to 
the  Scotch  Shorthorn.  The  sale  season 
in  Scotland  has  now  closed  for  the  year 
and  completed  returns  Bhow  that  since 
Jan.  1,  last,  1105  Shorthorns  have  been 
Bold  at  public  sale  in  Caledonia  for  an 
average  price  of  $259.  Last  year  the 
average  price  of  1004  Shorthorns  sold  in 
Scotland  at  public  auction  was  $165. 
Considering  the  condition  of  the  industry 
in  the  United  States  and  Canada  and  the 
consequent  fact  that  American  orders 
were  almost  wholly  eliminated  from  the 
Scotch  trade  the  showing  made  by  the 
cosmopolitan  red,  white  and  roans  is  re- 
markable. History  proves  that  while 
there  may  be  some  slight  variation,  pure- 
bred cattle  are  seldom  high  in  one  part  of 
the  world  and  very  low  in  another  for  any 
very  great  length  of  time  and  the  up- 
ward tendency  of  prices  in  Britain  mav 
reasonably  be  taken  as  an  index  of  the 
course  of  the  pedigreed  market  in  the 
United  States. 


Life  of  a  Dairy  Cow. 

'The  question  is  asked  if  high  feeding 
and  large  production  will  not  wear  out  a 
dairy  cow  in  a  very  few  years,"  saya  L. 
W.  Lightly  in  National  Stockman.  "I 
put  the  question  to  an  old  and  experienced 
dairyman  and  feeder,  and  his  reply  struck 
me  aa  very  sensible.  'The  better  I  fed 
and  cared  for  the  cows  the  longer  they 
lasted  and  gave  me  a  good  profit.'  The 
dairy  cow,  as  we  know  her,  is  a  machine 
to  convert  feed  into  milk,  and,  so  far  aa 
we  have  learned,  no  cow  will  work  be- 
yond her  capacity  under  normal  con- 
ditions—that is,  unless  forced  to  do  it  bv 
drugs  or  unnatural  feeds.  In  fact  the 
cow  that  has  plenty  of  easily  digested 
food  should  last  longer  than  the  one  that 
must  rustle  for  a  living  most  of  her  time, 
as  the  body  is  better  nourished  with  leBS 
energy  expended  to  get  that  nouriahment. 
Experience  and  observation  seem  to  con- 
firm this.  If  the  large  production  of 
milk  and  butter  is  exhauBting  to  the 
animal  and  will  tend  to  wear  out  the 
secreting  machinery  the  fact  has  certainly 
never  been  demonstrated." 


One  Bhould  aim  to  use  those  birds  that 
are  fully  matured,  as  from  auch  the  young 
stock  will  be  of  large  size  and  greater 
vigor  than  from  young  and  immature 
birdF.  A  cock  of  from  two  to  four  years 
of  age,  with  hena  of  from  one  to  three 
years  of  age,  will  give  excellent  results, 
much  better,  as  a  general  thing,  than 
from  younger  stock.  Turkeys  will  often 
breed  well  up  to  five  and  eix  years  of  age. 
One  should  not  look  for  exceaaive  weight 
in  breeding  stock,  but  rather  for  good- 
aized  frame  and  vigorous  conetitution. 
An  over -fat  bird  is  seldom  a  good  breeder. 
One  male  bird  is  sufficient  for  four  to  six 
females,  the  number  varying  Bomewhat 
according  to  the  vigor  of  the  male  bird. 

I  have  been  surprised  many  times  to 
see  breeders  sell  off  their  largest  and  beBt 
birds  on  the  market  and  a  very  large  per 
cent  of  those  who  attempt  to  raise  tur- 
keys are  doing  this  year  after  year,  and 
keeping  the  small  bir-ds"  for  breeding, 
thus  they  are  killing  the  goose  that  layB 
the  golden  egg.  In  buying  a  gobbler  or 
bens,  to  change  the  blood,  they  choose 
late-hatched,  immature  birds  because 
they  cost  less.  They  sometimes  reason 
that  young  bens  commence  laying  sooner 
and  do  not  steal  their  nesta  out  as 
bad  aa  old  hens,  not  once  thinking  that 
two-year-old  henB  or  older  give  stronger 
poults  and  are  much  easier  raised,  and 
will,  therefore,  raise  much  larger  percent 
than  those  raised  from  poor  and  im- 
mature stock,  not  saying  anything  of  the 
exceaa  of  weight  you  would  get.  This 
practice  ia  not  confined  to  the  poor  and 
leaBt  intelligent  people  as  would  be  ex- 
pected, but,  on  the  other  hand,  is  followed 
by  those  well  informed,  and  who  appre- 
ciate and  pay  large  prices  for  horses, 
cattle  and  sheep  that  are  bred  in  the  blue. 
If  such  a  course  was  pursued  in  this  stock 
and  followed  up  very  long  the  best  stock 
in  existence  would  be  ruined  in  a  few 
generationa. 

To  breed  from  poor  or  immature  speci- 
mens is  a  violation  of  one  of  the  first  lawB 
of  breeding.  Selection  ..at -the  best  for 
generations  has  given  us  the  improved 
and  most  profitable  breeds  of  atoek.  The 
hereditary  influence  of  such  Belectiona  is 
of  great  value.  The  most  inferior  bird 
out  of  such  a  flock  of  blood  lines  may 
'throw  back"  and  breed  very  fine  stock 
and  do  better  than  a  much  finer  bird  from 
a  haphazard  breed  strain.  But  the  re- 
peated selection  of  inferior  birdB  for  a 
number  of  generations  makes  this  in- 
feriority hereditary.  The  future  of  the 
flock  depends  almoBt  entirely  on  the 
parent  stock  or  its  ancestry.  If  valuable 
birds  are  used  in  the  breeding,  their  off- 
spring will  be  like  them  and  will  amply 
repay  for  all  your  expense  and  trouble. 
The  best  are  the  cheapest  and  are  none  too 
good.— Norris  G.  Temple,  Focopson,  Pa.

Forestry  in  California. 


California  haa  over  28,000,000  acres,  or 
over  one-fifth   of    its   total  area,   under 
forest  cover.    Much  of  this  land  is  finely 
timbered,  and,  with  forest   management, 
will  be  increasingly  valuable  for  the  wood 
which  it  can  supply.     But  in   California 
the  forests  have  another  use,  which,  as  is 
well  understood  iD   that  State,   ib  even 
more  important   than   the  production  of 
timber— to  conserve    the    water  supply. 
The  wonderful   agricultural  development 
which   irrigation    has    made  possible  is 
perhaps   the  largest  fact  in   California's 
recent  economical   history.      Because  of 
the   need   of   water  and  the  tea.'  of  floods 
public  sentiment   in  favor  of   forest  pro 
tection  in  California  baB  alwayB  been  well 
in  advance  of  that  in  other  States,  as  was 
conspicuously  illustrated  after  President 
Cleveland,   in   1897,    proclaimed    the    13 
Federal  Reserves  created  at  the  close  of 
his  administration.     Everywhere  else  in 
the   West  the  opposition  aroused  was  so 
strong  that   the  proclamation    was  soon 
afterward  temporarily  suspended;  but  a 
special  exception  was  made  in  the  case  of 
California,  where  public  opinion  was  from 
the  first  strongly  in  favor  of  the  reserves. 
Something  less   than   one-third  of  the 
entire  wooded  area  of  the  State  is  now 
embraced   in   the  Federal  forest  reserves 
That  the  remaining  20,000,000  acres  of  its 
forests  may  be  made  to  Berve   the  public 
interest  in  the  fullest  possible  measure, 
the  State  nas  solicited  and  secured  the 
co-operation  of  the  Bureau  of   Forestry  in 
working  out  a  proper  forest  policy  for  it. 
Members  of  the  Bureau  have,  since  July, 
1903,  examined  over  21,000,000  acres  of 
forest  and  brush  lands,  and  Dy  the  end  of 
the  year  the  entire  State  will  have  been 
covered.    The  different  types  of  land-as 
timberland,  chaparral,  pasture  and  agri- 
cultural land,  barrens,  cut-over  land,  and 
burned  land— will  be  mapped   and   the 
stand  of  timber  in  each  location  will  be 
roughly  estimated     Forest  reserves  may 
be  increased   in   number  or  size,  if   land 
most  suitable  for  that  purpose  is  found. 

But  the  subject  of  paramount  impor- 
tance is  the  prevention  and  control  of 
fires  A  good  opportunity  for  experiment 
along  this  line  was  afforded  the  Bureau 
by  co-operation  with  the  private  owner 
of  an  80,000-acre  tract,  who  had  previously 
introduced  a  crude  fire- protection  system. 
A  comprehensive  plan  was  outlined  and 
its  execution  begun.  There  has  not  been 
time  for  a  thorough  trial,  but  its  installa- 
tion has  had  an  excellent  effect.  The 
patrolling  of  the  tract  has  been  greatly 
improved,  and  the  neighbors  now  vol- 
untarily report  all  fires,  whether  on  or 
off  the  tract.  There  has  not  been  a 
serious  fire  on  that  tract  this  season. 
This  Bplendid  showing  is  an  impressive 
object  lesson,  it  proves  the  efficiency  of 
intelligent  care  and  of  fighting  fires  at  the 


start.  The  present  fire  laws  of  the  State 
are  incomplete  and  inadequate.  One 
result  of  the  work  of  the  Bureau  will  be 
the  recommendation  of  a  fire  law  which, 
if  adopted,  will  be  the  best  ever  passed 
by  any  State. 

The  most  encouraging  fact  in  forest 
management  is  the  growing  determina- 
tion of  large  timberland  owners  to  em- 
ploy private  foresters  to  handle  their 
holdings.  This  will  ensure  a  method  of 
lumbering  less  wasteful  than  tnat  at 
present  practiced,  and,  more  important 
by  far,  it  will  be  the  means  of  better 
protecting  the  forests  and  making  them 
yield  a  continuous  crop.  Such  expert 
control  will  be  especially  valuable  in 
solving  the  prob'em  of  the  best  way  to 
get  rid  of  the  slash,  which,  until  burned, 
is  a  constant  menace  to  the  forests.  Ex- 
tensive experiments  in  slash  burning 
have  already  been  carried  on  by  the 
Bureau  with  satisfactory  results. 

The  Bureau  agents  are  also  studying 
the  habits  and  rate  of  growth  of  sugar 
and  yellow  pine  to  determine  the  practi- 
cability of  lumbering  so  as  to  secure  a 
second  crop.  The  field  work  on  these 
studies  is  now  about  complete.  A  report 
on  what  growth  and  returns  may  be  ex- 
pected from  plantations  of  different  spe- 
cies of  gum  is  nearly  ready  for  trans- 
mittal. 

The  study  of  chaparral  has  led  to  fruit- 
ful practical  conclusions.  It  shows  in 
California  the  same  remarkable  ability  to 
encroach  upon  and  spread  over  open 
country  that  it  exhibits  in  Texas  and  else- 
where in  the  semiarid  portions  of  the 
Southwest.  It  makes  a  satisfactory 
watershed  cover,  and  almost  constantly 
replaces  a  forest  destroyed  by  fire.  Its 
composition  varies  with  aspect  and  eleva- 
tion and  with  damage  by  fire. 

The  natural  reproduction  of  forest  trees 
has  been  thoroughly  investigated  by  the 
Bureau,  together  with  the  extent  of  the 
forest  in  the  past,  the  effect  of  fire  upon 
forest  reproduction,  the  contest  between 
chaparral  and  forest  on  burned  areas, 
and  the  rate  of  growth  of  young  forest 
trees.  Every  State  which  has  large,  val- 
uable forests  or  a  climate  which  demands 
extensive  irrigation  for  farming  purposes' 
Bhould,  in  its  own  interest,  adopt  a  defi- 
nite and  enlightened  forest  policy.  Work 
similar  to  that  nearing  completion  in 
California  should  be  in  progress  in  at 
least  a  dozen  other  States  of  the  Union 
right  now,  if  yast  timber  resources  are 
not  to  be  further  ruinously  depleted  and 
farming  interests  are  to  be  properly  safe- 
guarded.— Press  Bulletin  77.  £.  Bureau

Poultry  Pointers. 

It  is  not  a  good  plan  to  keep  all  kinds 
of  poultry  in  the  same  house  or  yard. 

With  poultry  the  profits  are  too  often 
estimated  solely  from  the  amount  of 
products  sold. 

To  make  a  success  one  must  have 
healthy  fowls  and  comfortable  quarters 
for  them. 

An  average  of  one  rooster  to  a  dozen 
hens  is  sufficient  to  keep  during  the 
summer. 

The  flavor  of  the  eggs  depends  very 
much  on  the  kind  of  food  given  to  the 
poultry.

Winter  schools  of  agriculture  are  be_ 
coming  increasingly  more  attractive  and 
valuable.  Not  only  is  horticulture  and

That  was  certainly  a  remarkable  per- 
formance for  a  cow  at  the  World's  Fair. 
She  secreted  milk  at  an  average  rate  of 
one  and  a  half  quarts  of  milk  per  hour  for 
one  hundred  and  twenty  days.  The  cost 
of  the  feed  was  $36.57.  If  the  milk  had 
sold  at  five  cents  a  quart,  the  8000  quaTts 
would  have  been  worth  $200.

Meat,  milk,  the  cereal  grains,  with 
plenty  of  hard  bone  cut  fine  will  make 
good  poultry  if  kept  free  from  lice. 

A  good  breed  is  not  alone  sufficient  to 
make  money.  Good  care,  good  feed  and 
good  quarters  are  ever  necessary. 

A  writer  says  that  nothing  is  saved  by 
making  a  little  feed  go  a  long  way.  Feed 
full  rations  and  secure  rapid  growth. 

Some  poultrymen  have  their  chickenB

Experiments  show  that  in  general  the 
best  results  are  obtained  from  hens  hav- 
ing from  eight  to  ten  square  feet  of  floor

As  often  as  every  Becond  year  a  cock 
should  be  brought  that  is  full  of  vigor  and 
pure  blood  and  be  employed  to  build  up

In  our  anxiety  to  make  every  edge  cut 
we  get  too  much  to  do.  As  a  result  much 
of  it  is  not  more  than  half  done.  The 
keeping  of  too  much  poultry  comes  under 
this  head. 

Usually  care  enough  is  not  exercised

she  should  roost  at  night,  and  not  turned 
out  in  the  morning  until  the  dew  is  off. 

The  farmer  with  large  range  and 
scattered  feed  has  a  fine  opportunity  to 
produce  eggs  at  a  small  cost.  Many  of 
them,  by  the  management  of  their  wives, 
pay  almost  all  of  their  incidental  expenses 
by  paying  some  attention  to  the  hens. 

The  continued  high  price  of  poultry 
and  eggs  argues  an  increasing  demand. 
There  was  never  so  many  raised  as  now. 
The  supply  is  not  equal  to  the  demand, 
notwithstanding  the  standard  of  pro- 
duction is  higher  than  ever,  and  every 
hen  is  expected  to  do  her  full  duty. 

Wherever  the  coop  for  young  chicks  is 
set  it  should  be  high  enough  to  be  out  of 
the  stream  when  it  rains,  or  a  ditch 
Bhould  be  dug  around  it.  Dryness  is  one 
of  the  essential  elements  in  poultry  rais^ 
Ing. 

«•- 

Cows  can  be  fed  to  great  advantage 
with  a  view  to  their  next  lai  tation  period 
Cows  Bhould  have  a  resting  period  of 
about  six  week  The  feed  ehould  be  light 
and  nutritious,  and  reduced  to  a  minimum 
if  the  cows  are  hard  to  dry  off.  They 
ehould  clean  up  their  feed  well.

THOMAS  H.  WILLIAMS,  President 
PERCY  W.  TREAT,  Secretary. 


The  dairy  division  of  the  Department 
of  Agriculture  haB  been  assisting  in  pro- 
curing butter  for  the  use  of  the  navy  and 
the  army  by  drawing  contracts  for  butter 
making  and  supervising  their  execution. 
Under  this  system  over  700,000  pounds  of 
butter  have  been  purchased  during  the 
year  by  the  Navy  Department  alone. 
o 

Those  who  expect  to  pursue  dairying 
should  take  a  short  course  in  some  agri- 
cultural school.  If  they  can  not  be  spared 
during  the  winter,  they  should  go  during 
the  summer.  It  is  the  cap  sheaf  to  a  high 
Bchool  education,  and  fits  them  for  good 
work  from  the  beginning. 


The  man  who  compels  his  cow  to  stand 
in  the  rain  and  cold  may  not  be  surprised 
if  he  does  not  find  his  milk  pail  full  be- 
cause  there  is  no  particular  affinity 
between  the  full  pail  and  a  hard  shower 
although  milk  contains  a  large  per  cent 
of  water. 


There  is  often  complaint  aoout  farm 
cows.  They  do  not  give  butter  and  milk 
as  liberally  as  he  desired.  If  the  cow 
could  talk  she  would  probably  make  her 
defense  by  Baying  that  she  does  not 
receive  liberal  feed  and  libera!  care. 


Perhaps  one  reason  many  dairy  farmers 
do  not  get  rich  is  because  few  men  in  any 
busineBB  get  rich.  It  is  a  good  business, 
and  there  is  a  comfortable  living  in  it.

YOU    WANTED    BADLY 

to  bring  home  as  large  a  bag  of  ducks  from  the  marsh  as 
your  neighbor,  but  you  forgot 

The  Main  Factor  of  Success 

which  rested  in  the  brand  of  ammunition  you  used.  There 
is  no  need  of  talking  about  other  brands  bringing  equal 
results  when  all  successful  sportsmen  agree  that 

U.  M.  G.  AMMUNITION  HAS  NO  EQUAL 

and  that  the  best  results  come  from  its  constant  use,  either 
in  the  field  or  over  the  traps.    Better  try  it!!!

CAMPBELL'S  HORSE  FOOT  REMEDY    best"  bIhedt 

EVER  USED  ON  HORSES1  FEET. 

IT  PENETRATES  and  DRIES  IN  Quickly  and  DOES 
NOT  GUM  and  FILL  UP  THE  PORES  like  tar  and  oil 
compounds.  It  is  the  GREATEST  REMEDY  ever  used  to 
remove  SORENESS  and  FEVER  from  the  foot,  and  makes  it 
possible  to  get  good  services  out  of  a  horse  working  on  hard 
and  hot  pavements. 

It  gives  natural  nourishment  to  the  foot  and  incites  a 
rapid,  healthy  growth— ALL  DRYNESS  AND  BRITTLE- 
NESS  quickly  disappears. 

QUARTER  CRACKS  and  SAND  CRACKS  are  rapidly 
grown  out  when  directions  given  in  our  booklet  are  followed. 

It  Is  a  SURE  CURE  for  CORNS,  CONTRACTED  FEET 
and  NAIL  WOUNDS  if  directions  are  followed. 

It  PRESENTS  SOUND  FEET  FROM  BECOMING  UN- 
SOUND and  GROWS  a  TOUGH.  STRONG.  ELASTIC  WALL 
and  HEALTHY  FROG— A  FOOT  WHICH  WILL  STAND 
WORK  on  race  courses. 

Many  of  the  best  owners  and  trainers  state  that  for  track 
work  nothing  equals  it.  In  many  cases  horses  have  reduced 
their  records  several  seconds,  due  to  its  use. 

It  is  a  CER'J  AIN  CURE  for  THRUSH  and  SCRATCHES 

We  Guarantee  Tbat  It  Will  Do  What  We  Claim 
and  Will  Refund  Money  If  It  Falls. 
PRICES:— Quarts,   (l  00;    Half-Gallon,  $1.75;    Gallon,    $3  0

San  Francisco,  Saturday,   January  14,  1905. 

THE  NEW  SPEED  TRACE  and  Athletic  Field 
which  is  now  in  course  of  construction  in  Golden 
Gate  Park,  San  Francisco,  the  building;  of  which  has 
been  made  possible  by  the  generosity  of  the  lovers  of 
true  sport  in  this  community,  is  pictured  on  our  front 
page  this  week  very  much  as  it  will  be  when  finished. 
It  will  be  one  of  the  unique  features  of  our  city,  as 
nothing  like  it  has  ever  been  constructed  in  any  other 
city  in  the  world.  It  is  situated  between  Stow  Lake 
and  the  H  street  southern  boundary  of  the  Park,  and 
will  present  the  appearance  of  a  vast  amphitheatre 
sodded  in  blue  grass  and  surrounded  by  a  cinder  path, 
a  bicycle  path  and  a  speed  track  for  harness  horses, 
outside  of  which  a  beautiful  inclined  green  sward  will 
furnish  room  for  thousands  of  spectators.  The  speed* 
way  is  to  be  oval  in  shape,  and  three-quarters  of  a  mile 
in  circumference  on  the  inside.  It  will  be  sixty  feet  in 
width  all  the  way  round,  with  the  turns  thrown  up 
about  one  inch  to  the  foot.  The  Park  Commissioners 
are  now  in  consultation  with  the  best  authorities  on 
track  building  and  will  endeavor  to  make  this  the 
best  and  fastest  three-quarter  mile  speedway  in  the 
world.  Twenty-five  feet  inside  this  track  and  twelre 
feet  below  it,  (a  blue  grass  slope  intervening)  there 
will  be'constructed  a  bicycle  track  about  two-thirds 
of  a  mile  in  length  and  thrown  up  on  the  turns  for 
speed.  Ten  or  twelve  feet  within  this  bicycle  track, 
will  be  a  cinder  path  for  running  contests  between 
athletes.  This  will  be  about  five-eights  of  a  mile  in 
circumference.  Within  these  three  ovals  will  be  a 
sodded  infield  suitable  for  polo,  football,  lacrosse, 
bowling  and  all  athletic  field  events,  other  than  base 
ball  and  tennis,  beautiful  grounds  and  courts  for 
which  are  already  prominent  featuies  of  Golden  Gate 
Park.  The  Park  Commissioners  will  provide  sheds 
and  paddocks  for  cooling  out  horses,  and  bath  showers 
for  the  use  of  the  athletes.  In  short  this  ground, 
with  its  tracks  and  athletic  field  will  be  the  finest  and 
most  complete  amateur  pleasure  ground  in  the  world, 
and  will  be  preserved  strictly  for  amateur  sports,  all 
contests  or  racing  for  money  being  prohibited  by  the 
rules  of  the  Golden  Gate  Park  Commissioners.  As 
will  be  seen  by  reference  to  the  picture  there  will  he 
tunnels  under  the  eastern  and  north-western  ends  of 
the  speed  track,  through  which  spectators  on  foot 
can  pass  to  the  bicycle  and  cinder  paths  and  athletic 
field.  On  the  outside  of  the  trotting  track  a  prome- 
nade walk  for  spectators  will  extend  the  full  length  of 
the  oval.  Superintendent  of  the  Park  McLaren,  since 
his  return  from  his  vacation,  during  which  time  he 
visited  many  of  the  great  parks  of  America  and 
Europe,  i3  most  enthusiastic  over  the  construction  of 
this  beautiful  addition  to  Golden  Gate  Park's  many 
attractions  and  proposes  to  make  it  the  grandest 
public  field  ever  constructed  in  this  or  any  other 
country.  Work  has  already  begun  and  hundreds  of 
workmen  and  teams  can  be  seen  daily  moving  the  dirt 
and  grading  the  grounds. 

For  several  years  the  road  drivers  and  horsemen  of 
San  Francisco  have  desired  a  place  in  Golden  Gate 
Park  where  they  could  speed  their  horses.  Some 
years  ago  the  Park  Commissioners  constructed  the 
mile  speedway  along  the  south  drive,  which  has  an" 
swered  the  purpose  of  providing  a  place  where  horses 
could  be  driven  at  speed,  but  it  was  a  straightaway 
track  with  considerable  up  and  down  grade,  and  so 
situated  that  spectators  could  not  see  both  start  and 
finish,  or  more  than  an  eighth  of  the  track  from  any 
one  point,  without  standing  in  the  track,  owing  to 
the  conformation  of  the  sandhills  through  which  It 
was  built  and  the  heavy  foliage  which  flanks  it  on 
both  sides.  Some  months  ago  the  Amateur  Driving 
and  Athletic  Association  of  San  Francisco  was  formed 
with  a  membership  composed  of  gentlemen  who  are 
interested  in  all  sorts  of  amateur  outdoor  sports.  TMb 


organization  elected  Mr.  W.  J.  Simpson  as  President 
and  Frank  G.  O'Kane  as  Treasurer,  and  appointed  a 
committee  composed  of  Frank  G.  O'Kane,  I.  L.  Bor- 
den, James  Coffin,  John  Flournoy,  John  A.  McKerroD, 
Richard  Tobin,  Edward  Aigellinger  and  W.  J.  Simp- 
son to  wait  upon  the  Park  Commissioners  and  submit 
a  plan  to  them.  The  Commissioners  estimated  that 
it  would  take  at  least  $40,000  to  construct  a  speed 
track  and  athletic  grounds  in  the  Park,  and  proposed 
that  if  the  committee  would  raise  $20,000  the  Commis- 
sioners would  supply  the  balance  from  the  Park 
funds.  This  was  a  definite  proposition  an!  the  com- 
mittee went  to  work.  And  right  here  it  is  no  more 
than  right  to  say  that  to  Mr.  Frank  G.  O'Kane  is  due 
the  most  of  the  credit  for  raising  the  $20,000  which 
has  already  been  paid  over  to  the  commissioners.  All 
the  committeemen  and  many  others  worked 
hard  and  hid  well,  but  Mr.  O'Kane  made 
it  his  personal  work  and  tramped  the  city 
from  business  house  to  business  house  soliciting 
subscriptions.  He  became  an  enthusiasm  in  the  matter 
and  has  been  the  leading  spirit  in  the  work  which  is 
now  accomplished.  Mr.  O'Kane  is  the  leading  mem- 
ber of  the  great  harness  and  saddle  firm  of  J.  O'Kane 
&  Son  that  has  business  houses  in  San  Francisco  and 
New  York.  He  is  himself  an  ex-champion  amateur 
athlete,  an  excellent  amateur  driver  and  a  prominent 
member  of  theOlympicClub  of  this  city  sirce  his  boy- 
hood. His  love  for  clean  outdoor  sport  of  all  kinds 
made  him  an  enthusiast  in  the  new  enterprise  and 
when  he  drew  his  check  for  $20,000  as  Treasurer  of 
the  Amateur  Athletic  Association,  and  handed  it  over 
to  the  Park  Commissioners,  he  admitted  that  it  was 
the  proudest  day  of  his  life,  although  he  modestly  re- 
marked that  it  was  not  his  money,  but  the  coin  con- 
tributed by  650  subscribers,  of  which  he  was  simply 
the  custodian.  The  Park  Commissioners  who  re- 
ceived the  fund  and  ordered  the  work  begun  are 
Messrs.  R.  H.  Lloyd,  A.  B.  Spreckels,  A.  Altman,  F. 
J.  Sullivan  and  W.  J,  Dingee.  Mr.  Spreckels  is  the 
largest  single  contributor  to  the  fund  having  headed 
the  subscription  list  with  $1000.  The  work  is  under 
way  and  there  is  an  assurance  that  San  Francisco  will 
soon  have  within  its  beautiful  Golden  Gate  Park,  the 
finest  speed  track  and  athletic  field  in  the  world.  It 
will  take  several  months  to  complete  the  work,  but 
by  the  middle  of  the  summer  of  1905  its  completion  will 
probably  be  celebrated  by  a  grand  gala  day  of  sport, 
during  which  all  the  tracks  and  athletic  grounds  will 
be  in  use,  and  we  predict  that  when  the  day  arrives 
Golden  Gate  Park  will  hold  the  greatest  throng  of 
people  that  ever  congregated  within  its  borders. 


SECOND  PAYMENT  will  be  due  on  the  first  day 
in  February  on  the  mares  nominated  in  the 
Pacific  Breeders  Futurity  Stake  No.  5.  This  stake  is 
the  last  and  richest  of  the  Futurities  and  is  guaran- 
teed to  be  worth  $7000.  It  will  probably  be  worth 
$10,000  when  it  is  decided.  Don't  miss  making  this 
payment,  thus  keeping  your  mare  in  the  stake  and 
making  her  foal  eligible  to  race  for  the  money.  See 
the  advertisement  in  this  issue  and  read  the  substi- 
tution clause. 


THE  SOIL  of  the  tract  of  land  purchased  by  the 
State  Board  of  Agriculture  for  new  State  Fair 
Grounds,  is  said  by  W.  J.  All6n,  the  expert  track 
builder,  to  be  ideal  for  a  raoe  track.  It  is  clay  of  the 
same  kind  which  cost  the  association  several  thousand 
dollars  a  few  years  ago  to  put  a  thin  covering  ove** 
the  old  track.  Mr.  Allen  says  the  track  constructed 
on  the  new  grounds  should  be  lightning  fast  for  trot- 
ters and  pacers. 

TWO  GOOD  TROTTERS  are  wanted  by  J.  W. 
Zibbell  &  Son  of  th'.s  city,  whose  advertisement 
appears  elsewhere  in  this  issue.  One  must  be  a  high 
class  green  trotter,  the  other  one  with  a  record  that 
can  win  in  the  fast  classes.  They  prefer  mares,  and 
want  them  for  this  year's  circuit.  If  the  animils  are 
well  bred,  fin*6  individuals  and  good  ones,  with  prices 
right,  they  are  ready  to  pay  the  cash. 


A  Skillful  Kentucky  Driver. 

Scott  Hudson,  who  is  now  in  California,  was  written 
up  in  the  Christmas  edition  of  the  Trotter  and  lJa<:er, 
as  follows: 

While  that  skillful  Kentuckian,  Mr.  Scott  Hudson, 
has  long  been  favorably  known  to  the  trotting  horse 
world,  it  was  during  the  seasons  of  1901,  1902  and  1903 
that  his  meteoric  flashes  down  through  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit had  the  entire  trotting  horse  world  amazed  and 
made  turf  history  so  fast  that  it  could  scarcely  be 
credited.  He  was  the  largest  money  winner  of  1901 
and  1902  that  ever  went  down  the  line  of  Grand  Cir- 
cuit meetings,  his  stable  scooping  in  $80,000  one  season 
and  $90,000  the  next.  He  appeared  to  be  simply  in- 
vincible, and  wherever  one  of  his  horses  appeared  in  a 
race,  thousands  flocked  to  the  tracks  to  see  him   win, 


for  they  never  considered  that  he  could  lose.  No 
d  river,  before  or  since,  has  had  such  wonderful  success 
down  the  line'  Some  of  the  thoughtless  ones  may 
have  attributed  his  wonderful  success  to  good  luck; 
but  it  was  the  result  of  intelligently  preparing  his 
horses  and  skillfully  driving  them.  Many  of  the  races 
he  won  were  the  most  exciting  of  the  seasons  and  were 
fought  out  "tooth  and  toe-nail"  to  the  finish. 

Mr.  Hudson  is  also  the  only  driver  that  ever  won 
two  $20,000  races,  which  he  did  with  Nelly  A.,  in  the 
Nutmeg  Stake  at  Hartford  and  with  the  great  roan 
mare  Hawthorne  in  the  Bonner  Memorial  at  Brighton 
Beach,  and  is  the  only  one  who  ever  clemed  up  the 
entire  program  in  one  day.  He  won  every  race  on 
the  card  at  Cleveland  one  day  during  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit meeting  of  1902,  with  Audubon  Boy,  Twinkle, 
Alice  Russell  and  Chase.  He  has  won  the  Bonner 
Memorial  twice  at  Brighton  Beach,  once  with  the 
sensational  blind  horse  Rythmic,  and  the  following 
season  with  Hawthorne.  Mr.  Hudson  also  has  a 
peculiar  affinity  for  Futurities,  having  won  more  of 
these  events  than  any  other  driver,  and  he  took 
Audubon  Boy  through  the  Circuit  unbeaten  in  1902, 
after  being  the  greatest  money  winner  the  previous 
season,  when  he  lost  but  two  races.  Last  year  he 
drove  the  stallion  Jay  McGregor  and  won  more  money 
with  him  than  was  hauled  down  by  any  other  stallion. 
Nervolo  2:04£,  was  also  one  of  the  greatest  money 
winners  and  took  the  world's  record  for  a  half  and 
one  and  one-quarter  miles. 

Among  all  the  great  horses  which  have  been  prom- 
inent on  the  big  rings  of  recent  years  campaigned  by 
Mr.  Hudson,  it  would  naturally  be  thought  that  he 
would  pick  one  of  them  as  a  particular  favorite;  but 
when  he  was  asked  as  to  what  he  considered  the  best 
horse  ever  drove  he  went  away  back  to  his  first 
experiences  on  the  turf.  Delia  Ship,  he  said,  was  one 
of  the  first  fast  horses  he  ever  owned  and  drove  and 
he  considered  her  just  about  the  best  and  the  one  he 
liked  best  to  drive  in  a  race.  During  the  season  of 
1893  he  won  thirteen  straight  racea  with  her,  and  he 
thinks  a  better  race  mare  never  lived,  and  but  for  her 
unfortunate  death  after  the  campaign  would  have 
taken  high  rank  among  the  turf  stars. 

Mr.  Hudson  is  one  of  the  trainers  who  can  always 
be  found  at  his  stable  or  working  on  the  track  when 
he  is  on  the  road,  being  a  hard  worker,  a  careful 
trainer  and  an  expert  driver.  While  he  did  not  have 
quite  as  large  a  string  of  campaigners  this  year,  ha 
was  pretty  generally  represented  in  the  money  when- 
ever he  started,  although  not  as  great  a  winner  as  he 
was  during  the  previous  seasons.  This  fall  he  began 
to  take  an  active  part  in  the  affairs  of  the  Professional 
Drivers'  League, as  he  believes  that  the  drivers  should 
have  some  representation  in  the  formulation  of  rules 
for  their  government.  His  feelings  in  that  matter  are 
better  expressed  in  his  own  words  in  conversation 
with  several  horsemen  at  the  Murray  Hill  Hotel,  just 
before  he  started  for  California,  where  he  will  spend 
the  winter:  "The  drivers  can  do  nothing  without  the 
associations  and  the  associations  are  nothing  without 
the  drivers,  therefore  I  think  they  should  work 
amicably  with  each  other  and  make  rules  for  the  best 
interests  of  each.  Heretofore,  the  drivers  have  not 
had  anything  to  say  in  the  way  of  making  rules,  and 
I  think  they  should  be  given  a  voice  in  matters  which 
so  nearly  concern  them." 


Horse  Values  Will  Advance. 


It  seems  to  be  agreed  by  all  dealers  in  coach  and 
carriage  horses  that  much  better  prices  with  an  in- 
creased demand  will  prevail  in  the  early  spring.  News 
from  across  the  Atlantic  is  that  the  auto  is  rapidly 
going  out  of  use  among  the  royal  bloods,  who  set  the 
styles  of  both  continents.  There  will  be  an  active 
demand  for  coach  and  carriage  horses  for  export,  and 
the  demand  will  be  active  in  all  the  important  sea- 
board cities  in  the  United  States.  The  prices  for  race 
and  matinee  and  speedway  horses  will  also  be  better, 
because  the  demand  will  be  more  active  than  in  the 
spring  of  1904,  and  there  is  no  surplus  to  supply  this 
demand.  Even  in  the  breeding  centers  there  is  no 
over-supply.  A  letter  from  Lexington,  Ky.,  just  to 
hand,  states:  "Among  the  surprises  given  the  trotting 
horsemen  during  the  past  week  was  the  announce- 
ment made  by  Mike  Bowerman,  that  he  would  sell 
two  of  his  stallions  for  the  simple  reason  that  there  is 
a  dearth  of  good  mares  to  breed  to.  Bowerman 
declares  that  in  all  his  connection  with  the  breeding 
of  trotters  he  never  experienced  a  season  or  a  time 
when  broodmares  of  a  high  quality  were  as  scarce  as 
they  are  now.  This  seems  to  be  corroborative  of  the 
statement  made  by  John  Splan  that  there  is  an  ap- 
proaching famine  of  horses  in  America,  and  Bower- 
man asserts  that  be  has  been  unable  to  dispose  of  the 
services  of  his  horses  except  to  mares  of  an  inferior 
quality,  and  that  to  preserve  their  reputation  I 
refused  to  mate  them,  and  will  now  dispose  of  the

NEW     STATE    FAIR     GROUNDS. 


Secretary   Albert    Lindley    Outlines    Plans    for 
Improvements  Contemplated. 

Albert  Lied  ley,  Secretary  ol  the  State  Agricultural 
Society  recently  outlined  the  plans  that  have  been 
or  the  improvement  of  the  annual  State  Fair, 
a  matter  of  great  interest  to  the  people  of  Sacramehto. 
Id  touching  on  some  oi  the  more  important  points  of 
the  subject  Mr.  Lindley  said: 

•  that  the  purchase  of  land  has  been  completed 
and  we  know  definitely  that  the  State  Fair  grounds 
are  to  be  located  near  Oak  Park  in  Sacramento,  it 
may  not  be  premature  for  me  to  outline  the  plans  of 
the  Agricultural  Directors  in  regard  to  the  improve- 
ments to  be  made  thereon,  and  their  future  policy 
concerning  agricultural  matters  and  the  State  Fair, 
subject,  of  course,  to  the  action  of  the  Legislature 
and  the  Governors  approval. 

"Io  the  first  place,  it  is  the  wish  of  the  State  Board 
of  Agriculture  to  place  every  exhibit,  attraction  and 
exhibition  as  near  as  possible  to  the  grandstand  which 
is  to  be  erected  upon  the  new  fair  ground.  In  this 
way  all  exhibits  can  be  seen  conveniently  for  ODe 
admission  and  at  the  expense  of  one  car  fare,  and  that 
the  affairs  of  the  board  can  be  conducted  by  one  man- 
ager with  one  set  of  employes,  one  "band  and  a  big 
saving  in  many  smaller  items. 

"It  is  our  hope  to  be  able  to  construct  upon  the 
fair  grounds  such  buildings -as  will  be  best  adapted  to 
the  proper  exhibition  of  stock  and  poultry  surround. 
ing  them  with  clean  covered  walks  so  that  all  may  be 
seen  and  inspected  without  the  public  getting  into 
dust  and  filth  as  Heretofore  has  been  the  case. 

"A  suitable  building  is  needed  near  the  grandstand 
for  the  exhibition  of  manufactured  articles  and  farm- 
ing and  mineral  products  that  will  also  be  adapted  for 
giving  band  concerts,  entertainments,  etc. 

"The  grandstand  will,  when  built,  be  much  larger 
than  the  old  one,  containing  a  large  section  of  reserved 
seats,  and  every  effort  will  be  made  to  make  the  en- 
tire seating  convenient  and  comfortable  and  com- 
manding a  good  view  of  the  parade  grounds  and 
track. 

"The  location  of  the  new  fair  grounds  is  such  that 
it  will  not  be  necessary  to  do  much  grading  in  order 
to  make  a  fine  level  race  course  of  the  regulation  size, 
and  the  soil  is  exactly  the  kiod  most  desired  by 
breeders  upon  which  to  train  and  speed  their  horses. 
"As  California  has  the  best  bred  and  fastest  horses 
in  the  world,  the  State  should  have  the  best  and 
fastest  race  course  upon  which  they  can  make  their 
records. 

"In  order  to  construct  these  buildings  and  build 
such  a  race  course  it  will  be  necessary  to  have  money, 
and  this  is  about  the  way  we  now  stand  financially 
and  what  will  be  necessary  for  our  future  needs: 

"Beginning  wiih  the  sale  of  the  old  fair  grounds  for 
$82,500;  $31,500  of  this  was  used  immediately  in  paying 
off  liens  and  notes  held  by  the  bank  and  such  other 
sums  as  were  expended  for  abstract  of  title,  attorney's 
f*;es  and  commissioner's  fees. 

"Fifty-one  thousand  dollars  that  then  remained 
was  placed  to  the  credit  of  the  Agricultural  Board  in 
the  State  Treasury. 

"Under  the  Act  passed  by  the  Legislature  at  a 
former  session  allowing  and  providing  for  the  sale  of 
the  old  fai  grounds  it  was  stipulated  that  the  money 
bo  obtained  could  only  be  usf  d  for  the  purpose  of  pur- 
chasing other  fair  grounds  and  making  improvements 
thereon  iu  Sacramento  county. 

"This  was  a  very  proper  provision,  for  the  reason 
that  the  land  contained  in  the  old  fair  grounds  never 
co^t  the  State  of  California  one  dollar,  but  was 
I  by  the  people  of  Sacramento,  and  this  $82,500 
Is  therefore,  in  fact,  a  gift  to  the  State  from  the 
people  of  Sacramento. 

"Out  of  the  $51,000  balance  placed  by  the  Directors 
In  the  State  Treasury,  $22,000  has  been  expanded  in 
paying  for!1  ':res  bought,  by  the   Directors 

til  Park  for  the  new  fair  ground,  leaving  a  net 
balaoce  to  he  used  on  buildings,  etc.,  to  be  placed 
theret.  I,  which  willjgo  far  toward  their  con- 

struction. 

"Sioco  Bettllng  the  t3 1,000  of  obligations  I  men- 
tioned .  v  0f  the 
old  park,  we  find  wc  havu  laining  of  less 
than  $69,000. 

"Toward  pa  through  it: 

"  which, 
has  n.  .though 

it  practically  Is'  now  lying  in  the  Stat. 
that  purpose,  and  will  be  available  when  the  new  fair 
ground  t  are  deeded  to   the  State  of  California 
Agricultural    Society  Director,   which     will    lmme- 
7  he  done. 

(6,000,  deducted   from   the  $69,000  debt  just 
-  a  balance  of  debt  of  $24,000  for  the 
cgislature  to  help  us  out  with. 


"Now,  President  Rush  and  the  other  members  of 
the  Board  of  Agricultural  Directors  are  haviDg  pre- 
pared estimates  of  the  cost  of  the  improvements 
to  be  made  on  the  new  fair  grounds  These  estimates 
are  almost  all  completed,  and  when  it  is  ascertained 
what  that  cost  will  be  a  bill  will  be  presented  to  the 
Legislature  sufficient  to  cover  the  $24,000  remaining 
indebtedness,  and  also  the  amount  needed  to  complete 
improvements  on  the  new  park  over  and  above  the 
$29,000  balance  now  in  the  State  Treasury  for  that 
purpose. 

"While  the  State  Fairs  of  late  have  not  been  finan- 
cially successful,  it  must  not  be  charged  up  against 
the  people  of  Sacramento,  as  there  have  been  several 
valid  reasons  for  the  shortage  in  receipts.  One  year 
the  death  of  a  President  caused  the  directors  to  close 
the  fair,  and  again  bad  weather  had  to  be  contended 
with.  At  times  the  expenses  have  been  entirely  too 
high,  due  largely  to  the  necessity  of  giving  two  shows 
under  practically  two  different  managements  with  two 
sets  of  employees,  and  partly  to  the  fact  that  more 
attention  has  been  given  to  running  races,  the  book- 
makers and  their  following  than  to  the  merchants, 
the  manufacturer,  the  miner,  and,  above  all  else,  the 
farmer  and  stock  breeder. 

"The  present  directors,  whose  employe  I  am,  have 
given  me  positive  instructions  to  run  the  affairs  of  the 
board  mainly  in  the  interests  of  the  producers,  and 
give  every  encouragement  to  the  exhibition  of  stock 
and  farm  products,  and  the  breeding  and  racing  of 
harness  horses.  This  I  will  do,  without,  at  the  same 
time,  trying  to  discourage  the  breeding  and  racing  of 
running  horses,  but  I  feel  that  so  many  racetracks 
are  now  in  operation  for  long  seasons  each  year  that 
that  branch  of  horse-racing  has  comparatively  little 
need  of  aid  from  State  Fairs,  and  should  at  our  meet- 
ings be  entirely  self-sustaining. 

"It  is  pleasing  to  the  Board  of  Directors  and  to  my- 
self that  the  people  of  Sacramento  county  and  the 
papers  are  offering  us  such  cordial  support  in  our 
efforts  to  rejuvenate  matters  pertaining  to  the  State 
Agricultural  Society. 

"With  the  $40,000  given  some  years  ago  by  Sacra- 
mento towards  constructing  the  Agricultural  Pavilion 
on  the  Capitol  grounds,  and  the  $82,500  for  which  the 
old  park  sold,  that  property  having  been  purchased 
by  Sacramentans  and  given  to  the  State  Agricultural 
Society,  it  may  be  seen  that  the  State  Fair  has 
received  from  the  people  of  Sacramento  in  cold  cash 
the  immense  sum  of  $122,500,  a  direct  gift. 

"This,  we  believe,  entitles  them  to  liberal  considera- 
tion from  California's  representatives. 

"It  will  be  the  aim  of  the  Agricultural  Directors  to 
give  to  the  people  a  State  Fair  tnat  will  be  of  great 
benefit  to  California  as  an  advertisement  and  of  direct 
benefit  to  every  farmer,  horticulturist,  breeder  and 
stock-raiser  in  the  State." — Sacramento  Union.

As  a  foal  getter  Monterey  is  not  only  sure,  but  his 
colts  are  all  endowed  with  size,  good  looks  and  natural 
speed.  The  owners  of  foals  by  Monterey  set  great 
value  on  them,  and  confidently  expect  them  to  be 
money  winneis  when  raced.  A  gentleman  who  has 
been  a  student  of  horse  breeding  for  thirty  years  re- 
marked the  other  day  that  he  considered  Monterey  a 
stallion  that  would  bring  great  fame  to  California 
within  the  next  three  years  through  the  performances 
of  his  get,  as  he  confidently  expected  him  to  have  a 
half-dozen  2:05  or  better  performers  within  that  time. 

Monterey  is  to  be  in  the  stud  again  this  year  on  the 
same  terms  as  last,  and  progressive  breeders  should 
patronize  him. 

Answers  to  Correspondents. 

J.  D.  ANLOw,  Butte,  Montana— There  is  no  horse 
registered  by  the  name  McKinley  Wilkes,  and  no 
horse  by  that  name  has  sired  a  standard  performer. 


Monterey  2:09  1-4  as  a  Sire. 

During  the  year  just  closed  there  were  many  high- 
class  trotters  and  pacers  raced  in  the  United  States, 
and  the  title  of  champion  in  any  class  was  not  ob- 
tained easily.  Every  horse  that  got  a  championship 
during  the  year  was  not  only  fast  but  of  racehorse 
quality.  It  was,  therefore,  a  great  compliment  to 
Mr  P.  J.  Williams'  stallion  Monterey  2:09J  when  his 
son  Irish,  one  of  his  first  crop  of  colts,  took  a  record 
of  2:08^,  tha  fastest  mile  pacea  by  a  four-year-old  dur- 
ing the  year.  To  have  sired  the  best  four-year-old  of 
his  year  is  a  distinction  that  entitles  Monterey  to  more 
credit  than  is  usual,  especially  when  it  is  known  that 
he  was  not  bred  to  over  a  half-dozen  mares  the  year 
Irish  was  begotten.  Monterey  is  endowed  with  as 
much  speed  as  any  stallion  that  ever  lived.  Horsemen 
who  saw  him  in  training  the  year  he  was  taken  East 
by  his  owner  are  well  aware  of  this  fact.  Quarters  in 
30  seconds  seemed  easy  for  him,  and  he  could  out- 
brush  some  of  the  fastest  pacers  through  the  home- 
stretch atthe  end  of  miles  below  2:10.  No  horseman 
who  has  ever  seen  Monterey  at  work  questions  the 
assertion  that  he  is  endowed  with  two  minute  speed. 
On  breeding  he  stands  in  the  very  front  rank.  His 
sire,  Sidney,  is  grandsire  of  the  fastest  trotter  ever 
foaled.  His  dam,  Hattie  by  Commodore  Belmont,  is 
a  great  broodmare  and  is  by  a  sire  of  great  brood- 
mares. His  second  dam  is  by  Woodford  Mambrino, 
whose  daughters  produced  the  great  Kremlin  2:073, 
Bonnatella  and  others;  his  third  dam  was  by  Norman 
25,  whose  daughter  produced  Norval,  one  of  the  very 
greatest  sons  of  Electioneer,  and  his  fourth  dam  was 
a  daughter  of  that  great  thoroughbred,  Grey  Eagie, 
whose  daughters  have  founded  running  and  trotting 
families  of  superior  merit. 

Monterey's  racehorse  qualities  are  well  known. 
HU  fastest  quarters  were  always  in  the  homestretch 
and  he  met  the  very  best  In  the  free-for-all  class  when

W.  F.  Hanev,  Modesto — Miss  Garvin  is  a  bay  mare 
foaled  1892,  by  Fellowcharm,  dam  Sally  Hampton  by 
Boots,  second  dam  by  Joe  Daniels.  She  won  two  or 
three  races  as  a  three  year-old.  Rearguard,  bay  horse,

made  at  Woodland  in  1902  was  2:11^.  It  waB  made  in

News  From  trie  North. 


[Portland  Rural  Spirit,  Jan.  6.] 

William  Hogoboom  reports  nearly  fifty  horses  at 
the  Walla  Walla  track  this  winter,  all  doing  well. 

Porringer  and  Erwin,  of  PeDdleton,  were  recently 
over  and  made  arrangements  to  move  their  horses  to 
the  Walla  Walla  track  in  the  near  future. 

Dr  Clowe  has  a  good  filly  by  Bogoboom's  Teddy 
that  is  showing  up  fine,  with  very  little  work. 

C.  E.  Barrow's  richly  bred  two-year-old  stallion, 
Phal  Smith  39259,  is  developing  into  a  splendid  horEe. 
With  very  little  work  he  showed  a  24  gait  last  season 
Pretty  good  for  a  green  two-year-old. 

Mr.  Barrow's  nice  eight-monlhs-old  bay  filly,  Pearl 
Mac,  that  he  has  entered  in  the  California  colt  stakes, 
has  already  shown  him  a  3:20  gait 

Of  all  the  parties  breeding  trotters  about  Walla 
Walla,  perhaps  no  one  takes  a  more  active  interest  in 
the  business  than  Mrs.  Dooley.  She  loves  a  well-brer' 
horse  and  owns  ten  or  fifteen  head  of  the  best  ones  in 
the  valley.  She  owns  the  old  Chas.  Russell  place 
which  is  the  best  farm  in  the  Walla  Walla  valley.  It 
contains  500  acres,  200  oi  which  is  first  class  alfalfa 
land.  The  place  is  watered  by  a  beautiful  creek  and 
numerous  springs  and  is  only  31  miles  out  from  Walla 
Walla.  Her  mares  are  mostly  by  Caution,  all 
standard  and  registered  and  have  colts  by  Teddy,  son 
of  Diablo;  most  of  her  mares  are  now  in  foal  to  Mr. 
Hogoboom's  Linmont.  She  owns  the  good  bay  three- 
year-old  filly  Cleopatra,  by  Alexis,  dam  by  Caution. 
She  was  worked  a  short  time  last  spring  by  Mr. 
Hogoboom  and  went  a  quarter  in  34  and  a  half  in  1:12. 
Mr.  T.  H.  Ramsay,  who  owns  the  Oregon  bred  colt 
Al  McKlnney,  by  McKinney,  out  of  Mary  A.,  by  Alta- 
mont,  has  placed  him  in  Budd  Doble's  hands  to  train. 
This  youngster  trotted  miles  last  year  in  his  three- 
year-old  form  in  2:15  and  he  is  looked  upon  as  a  2:10 
performer  this  year.  Alma  Mack,  whom  Mr.  Helman 
drove  miles  in  2:20  last  season  is  a  full  sister  to  Al 
McKinney,  and  John  Sawyer  has  a  half  sister  to  him 
being  sired  by  Zombro  that  has  been  dubbed  the 
coming  Lou  Dillon. 

Kenney,  the  man  who  makes  sulky  wheels  that  are 
right  and  who  sells  the  McMurray  sulkies  and  carts 
as  fast  as  the  Ohio  house  can  forward  them  to  him,  is 
distributing  some  very  handsome  calendars  for  1905 
issued  by  the  McMurray  Company.  A  very  handsome 
photograph  of  a  big  bunch  of  trotters  racing  through 
the  stretch  on  a  Grand  Circuit  track  adorns  the 
calendar.  Send  to  Kenney  for  one.  It  will  adorn  your 
home  or  your  stable.  Kenney  has  also  received  the 
new  McMurray  1905  catalogue,  which  he  will  be  pleased 
to  mail  to  you  on  application.  He  sold  one  of  the  1905 
models  this  week  to  Mr.  Middleton  of  Fresno.

excellent  prospects  and  are  all  well  broken,  good 
individuals  and  fine  drivers. 


From  the  talk  of  California  and  Oregon  breeders 
Zombro  2:11  will  get  a  large  number  of  high-class

After  much  expensive  litigation  the  courts  have 
ruled  that  the  historic  old  Pimlico  racing  plant  in 
Baltimore  must  be  sold  and  the  proceeds  distributed 
to  State,  city,  county  and  personal  creditors.  Long 
years  ago  the  State  of  Maryland  bought  the  ground 
and  donated  it  for  the  holding  of  fairs,  but  these  were 
abandoned  and  trouble  has  ruled  the  property  for  a 
long  time. 

Last  Saturday  at  Agricultural  Park,  Los  Angeles, 
Mr.  John  A.  Cole  of  San  Bernardi-io,  saw  his  filly 
April  Rose,  go  a  half  in  1:11  and  a  quarter  in  34  sec- 
onds, driven  by  W.  G.  Durfee.  April  Rose  was  bred 
at  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  and  foaled  in  April,  1902. 
She  is  by  McKinney,  dam  Sweet  Rose  (1)  2:25|  by 
Electioneer.  Mr.  Durfee  has  been  handling  her  but 
six  weeks. 

Mr.  F.  S.  Granger,  of  Santa  Cruz,  is  the  owner  of  a 
four-year-old  that  he  calls  Ben  Hur.  He  is  by  Near- 
est 2:22  out  of  a  mare  by  Nutwood  that  has  been  used 
on  the  road  some  but  was  never  on  a  track  but  ten 
days.  Mr.  Granger  drove  him  a  quarter  last  Wed- 
nesday in  35  seconds  flat  hitched  to  a  McMurray 
cart  and  believes  he  has  one  of  the  greatest  prospects 
in  California.  

Ouresteemed  contemporary,  the  Country  Gentleman, 
of  Albany,  New  York,  claims  that  the  splendid  article 
on  the  New  York  Horse  Show  from  the  pen  of  that 
well  known  writer  on  horse  affairs,  Will  F.  Pond, 
which  appeared  in  a  recent  issue  of  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsman,  and  several  of  the  big  dailies,  was  origi- 
nally written  for  its  columns.  It  was  a  good  article 
and  Mr  Pond  has  had  due  credit  given  him  for  writ- 
ing it,  and  the  Country  Gentleman  is  entitled  to  its 
share  for  engaging  him  to  do  the  job. 


Elmorine,  the  great  great  broodmare  owned  by 
William  Hogoboom,  of  Walla  Walla,  broke  a  leg  re- 
cently. A  correspondent  of  the  Rural  Spirit  says  the 
leg  is  in  a  plaster  mould,  but  the  old  mare's  age  is 
against  her.  Elmorine  was  bred  by  the  late  Capt. 
Ben  E.  Harris  of  this  city,  and  is  the  dam  of  Lena  A. 
2:2U,  winner  of  the  Occident  Stake  of  1899,  Dos 
Minutos  2:30,  winner  of  the  Stanford  Stake  of  1898, 
Lorena  2:30  and  Teddy  2:22}.  Elmorine  is  by  Elmo 
891,  dam  Princess  by  Woodford's  Mambrlno. 


This  is  the  season  of  the  year  when  the  compiler  of 
trotting  and  pacing  statistics  has  to  depend  upon  the 
holiday  nimbers  of  the  papers  devoted  to  harness 
horse  affairs.  The  Horse  Review,  Horseman,  American 
Horse  Breeder,  Trotter  and  Pacer,  and  Horse  World  all 
issued  numbers  that  were  not  only  magnificently 
illustrated  and  full  of  good  things,  but  contained 
tables  and  statistics  that  are  absolutely  indispensible 
to  the  editor  and  pedigree  compiler,  especially  as  the 
Year  Book  will  not  be  issued  for  several  weeks  yet. 


A  reader  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  sug- 
gests that  the  Breeders  Association  open  the  Cali- 
fornia Circuit  this  year  at  Fresno,  and  that  meetings 
follow  at  Stockton,  Pleasanton,  San  Jose,  Oakland, 
Vallejo,  Santa  Rosa  and  Woodland  in  the  order 
named.  He  suggests  that  the  Woodland  meeting  be 
held  the  week  before  the  State  Fair  at  Sacramento,  if 
one  is  given,  and  that  the  State  Fair  be  held  before 
the  Oregon  State  Fair  at  Salem,  giving  those  who 
want  to  go  north  a  chance  to  race  in  California  first. 
We  would  suggest  that  Los  Angeles  hold  the  first 
meeting  of  the  year  and  precede  Fresno,  if  the  above 
plan  be  adopted. 

A  car  left  San  Jose  last  week  for  Los  Angeles  con- 
taining two  trotters  consigned  to  W.  G.  Durfee  the 
Los  Angeles  trainer.  Ont  of  the  horses  ffas  Mr.  A. 
B.  Spreckels'six-year  old  bay  stallion  Cronje  by  Cupid 
2:18,  dam  Hulda2:0S}  by  Guy  Wilkes.  This  colt  has 
considerable  natural  speed  and  in  Mr.  Durfee's  hands 
should  develop  into  a  trotter  of  merit.  He  has  always 
been  kept  on  the  Aptos  ranch  and  has  never  been 
regularly  trained.  The  other  trotter  in  the  car  was 
Mr.  C.  A.  Durfee's  good  little  twin  Cuate  2:18  as  a 
three-year-old.  Cuate  was  sick  last  year  and  was  not 
raced,  but  is  now  in  good  shape  and  with  ordinary 
luck  will  be  a  2:15  performer  to  a  certainty. 


In  the  Horse  Show  Monthly  W.  A.  Dobson  writes 
that  he  first  bought  the  famous  Lord  Golden  some 
twenty  miles  south  of  Fairfield,  la  ,  for  $225  The 
horse  was  then  entire.  Mr.  Dobson  says  the  original 
name  of  Lord  Golden  was  Acorn,  sire  Black  Oak. 
dam  by  Egmont.  He  was  sold  to  G.  F.  Gilman,  Black 
Rock,  Conn  ,  by  Mr.  Dobson,  but  the  purchaser  died 
shortly  afterwards.  When  next  sold  Lord  Golden  was 
bought  in  New  York  by  T.  E.  Gordon,  who  later  dis- 
posed of  him  to  Dr.  Wentz.  Mr.  Dnbson  also  says 
that  Lord  Brilliant'ssire  was  a  son  of  Egmont,  making 
the  famou3  pair  somewhat  close  in  blood. 


The  new  speedway  will  soon  be  one  of  the  features 
of  Golden  Gate  Park.  A  big  body  of  graders  and 
teamsters  are  now  at  work  under  the  direction  of  Su- 
perintendent McClaren.  The  plans  provide  for  a 
three-quarter  mile  oval  track,  sixty  feet  wide. 

One  thousand  and  one  mares  were  nominated  in  the 
Kentucky  Futurity  for  foals  of  1904.  The  December 
payments  on  the  weanling  foals  numbered  873,  or 
nearly  90  per  cent  of  the  original  nominations.  The 
stake  is  worth  $22,000  and  will  be  trotted  in  1907. 


An  investigation  is  now  under  way  by  the  American 
Trotting  Association,  which  promises  to  develop  into 
a  sensation  It  relates  to  certain  records  alleged  to 
have  been  made  over  the  famous  kite-shape  track  at 
Independence,  Iowa,  aDd  which  it  is  said  were  faked. 


The  horse  loving  residents  of  Lordsburg,  California, 
have  organized  a  gentlemen's  club  under  the  name 
San  Jose  Rancho  Driving  Club.  A  good  regulation 
mile  track  is  being  built  and  every  effort  will  be  made 
to  promote  the  interests  of  hoise  breeding.  The 
officers  are:  President,  H.  E.  Walker,  San  Dimas; 
Secretary,  J.  balvio  Soto,  Lordsburg;  Treasurer,  F. 
S.  Vigor,  Pomona:  Board  of  Directors,  E.  W.  Hart, 
San  Dimas,  P.  J.  Yorba,  Lordsburg,  J.  M.  Sexton, 
Pomona,  N.  O.  Fairfield,  Pomona,  D.  C.  McCord, 
Covina.  The  new  club  will  hold  matinees  at  various 
times  during  the  jear,  and  as  several  good  horses  are 
owned  in  the  locality,  hope  to  have  seme  good  racing 
and  arouse  a  lively  interest  in  the  ownership  of  high 
class  trotters  and  pacers. 


Down  at  the  Baywood  Stud  Stables  at  San  Mateo 
are  eight  head  of  horses  (six  geldings  and  two  mares) 
sired  by  the  prize  winning  imported  German  Coach 
Horse  Socrates,  that  are  effered  for  sale.  They  are 
all  thoroughly  broken,  and  have  been  accustomed  to 
steam  and  electric  cars  and  automobiles.  They  were 
bred  on  Mr.  John  Parrott's  Llano  Seco  Rancbo  at 
Chico,  Butte  county  and  are  all  in  fine  condition  as 
they  are  putting  on  weight  every  day.  A  pair  of 
blacks  16  2  that  weigh  2900  pounds  are  especially 
suited  for  a  hearse  team.  The  others  are  splendid 
prospects  and  all  can  be  seen  any  day  in  harness  if 
desired.  There  are  also  for  sale  at  Baywood  Stud  ten 
head  of  smaller  and  lighter  horses  by  the  same  sire 
suitable  for  carriage  work,  siDgle  or  double.  We  ask 
readers  to  peruse  the  advertisement  on  the  second 
page  of  this  issue  where  these  horses  are  described, 
and  where  other  particulars  in  regard  to  there  sale 
are  given^ 


Mr.  T.  C.  Cabney,  the  well  known  trainer,  formerly 
of  Eureka,  Humboldt  county,  has  just  moved  into 
one  of  the  nicest  new  stables  that  has  been  built  in 
the  vicinity  of  Golden  Gate  Park,  in  this  city.  It  is 
on  24th  avenue  and  Fulton  streets,  adjoining  the 
Casino,  a  popular  roadside  resort,  and  contains  fifteen 
box  stalls  all  arranged  for  the  comfort  of  the  equine 
occupants.  Any  of  the  car  lines  going  to  the  Chutes 
will  take  one  to  Mr.  Cabney's  stables  which  are  close 
to  a  Park  entrance.  He  has  several  horses  already, 
but  desires  a  few  more  to  either  sell,  board  or  train. 
A  road  horse,  16  hands,  that  be  now  has  for  sale  can 
show  a  quarter  in  32  seconds  and  is  one  of  the  best 
roadsters  in  San  Francisco.  Mr.  Cabney  will  be  glad 
to  have  horse  owners  and  others  interested  in  horse? 
visit  his  new  place  at  any  time. 


Frank  G.  Smith  says:  C  K.  G.  Billings  has  more 
than  $300,000  invested  in  fine  horseflesh  for  matinee 
racing.  The  cost  of  maintaining  these  trotters  and 
pacers  is  placed  at  $100,000  per  annum  Mr.  Billings 
is  to  be  congratulated  on  his  good  judement.  I  know 
of  a  wealthy  gentleman  who  spent  over  $200,000  the 
past  year  in  historic  oil  paintings,  another  a  fortune 
in  racing  yachts  which  are  nothing  more  than 
machines,  and  another  swell  bunches  of  money  in 
automobiles,  hunting  parks,  public  libraries  to  be 
patronized  by  the  rich,  and  all  sorts  of  hobbies  and 
fads.  And  who  cares?  Let  the  gentlemen  have  a 
good  time,  and  the  more  money  they  put  into  circula- 
tion the  better  for  the  little  fish.  It  is  estimated  that 
every  third  generation  goes  broke,  anyhow,  so  what's 
the  difference?  Life  is  what  we  make  it,  so  gaily  let 
us  take  it.  

Alex  Brown's  Woodland  Stock  Farm  track  is  get- 
ting a  reputation  as  a  winter  training  track  that  will 
cause  it  to  be  one  of  the  most  popular  tracks  in  Cali- 
fornia during  the  season  of  the  year  when  most  tracks 
cannot  be  used  for  working  horses  on.  It  rained  hard 
there  a  part  of  Thursday  and  nearly  all  day  Friday  of 
last  week,  yet  on  Sunday  the  track  was  in  good  shape 
to  work  on.  Superintendent  Chas.  Spencer  has 
finished  a  drainage  ditch  running  along  the  inside 
fence  and  it  drains  the  track  perfectly.  H.  S.  Hogo- 
boom, Al  Charvo,  F.  E.  Wright,  R.  Nason  and  Mr. 
Spencer  have  been  stepping  the  youngsters  in  their 
strings  some  this  week  and  Woodland  track  never 
stabled  a  finer  lot  of  young  trotters  and  pacers 
Spencer  stepped  a  two-year-old  trotter  b^  Prince 
Ansel  a  2:20  gait,  and  a  yearling  by  Nushagak  a  thirty 
gait,  both  hitched  to  carts.  There  is  much  interest 
in  harness  horses  breeding  in  Yolo  county  this  year 
and  the  stallions  in  service  there  will  be  well 
patronized.  

Jack  Curry,  "Optimistic  Jack"  they  call  him  over 
East,  arrived  in  California  a  few  wetks  ago  with  Mr. 
J  De  La  Montanya's  two  fast  mares,  Tuna  2:08}  and 
Brilliant  Girl,  and  likes  the  country  so  well  that  he 
has  decided  to  locate  at  San  Jose  in  the  spring  and 
take  a  few  outside  horses  to  train  and  race.  Mr. 
Curry  has  been  on  the  trotting  turf  a  good  many 
years,  and  has  trained  and  driven  many  of  the  very 
fastest.  He  trained  and  drove  the  pacer  Carbonate 
2:09,  the  first  two-year-old  to  beat  2:10.  and  gave  AHx 
her  five-year-old  world's  record  of  2:07J  in  1893  He 
campaigned  that  old  hero  Joe  Palchen  2:01}  and 
drove  the  California  bred  trotter  Surpol  2:10.  that  be 
yet  bel'eves  would  bave  been  the  fastest  trotter  on 
earth  barring  his  several  accidents  Mr.  Curry  d  rove 
Tuna  to  her  record  of  2:08}  this  year,but  believes  that 
Brilliant  Girl  will  develop  into  a  still  faster  mare.  As 
will  be  seen  by  an  advertisf  ment  in  tbis  issue.  Mr. 
Curry's  present  address  is  2605  Point  Lobos  avenue  in 
this  city,  but  be  intends  to  move  to  San  Jose  I 
the  15th  of  next  month.  He  will  take  a  few 
horses  to  train,  and  if  the  owners  desire  wlllca 
them  next  season.

Classic  Winners'   "Figures. 


[Arbitrator,  in  London  Sportsman.] 
In  some  quarters  Bruce  Lowe's  "Figure  Guide"  is 
still  regarded  with  disfavor,  and  it  is  notioable  that 
those  who  do  not  like  the  figures  are  in  nineteen  cases 
out  of  twenty  also  opponents  of  the  starting  ga'e. 
There  is,  of  course,  no  connection  between  the  two, 
save  that  both  had  their  origin  in  Australia,  but 
when  one  finds  opponents  of  the  one  system  opposing 
the  other,  it  causes  one  to  come  to  the  inevitable  con- 
clusion that  we  are  the  most  conservative  nation  in 


and  St.  Leger,  the  positions  of  the  five  best  families 
are  No.  1  and  No.  2  jointly  first  with  45  winners  apiece 
(there  are  many  more  broodmares  of  No.  2  family  at 
the  stud  than  of  No.  1  family),  No.  3  family  comes 
third  with  43  victories,  4  fourth  with  31  and  No.  5  fifth 
with  27.  Nos.  6  and  7  are  again  transposed,  the  latter 
with  21  successes  as  against  No.  6's  18.  The  sire 
families  (Nos.  3,  8, 11,  12,  14),  so-called  because  they 
produce  a  greater  proportion  of  good  stallions,  are  all 
well  up  in  the  first  twenty.  The  five  "running" 
families— (1),  (2),  3,  (4)  and  5— have  between  them 
won  293,  or  considerably  more  than  half,  of  the  565 
classic  races,  and  this  alone  is  conclusive  proof  that 


he  lives  next  door.

Tiverton  Sweet  Marie  Duels  for  1905. 


the  world.    Anything  possessing  a  flavor  of  antiquity, 

no  matter  how  worthless  it  may  be,  finds  its  legion   of    Bruce  Lowe's  system,  or  guide,  is  not  such   fantastic 

staunch  supporters,  who  argue  from  the  standpoint    nonsense  as  breeding  from  a  stallion   simply  because 

that  what  was  good  enough  for  our  forefathers  must 

be  good  enough  for  us,  and  they   bitterly  resent  any 

casting  down  of  fetishes.    Our  forefathers  delighted 

in   open  sewers    running  down   the  centre  of  their 

streets  and  in  cesspools  and  other  unpleasant  arrant; e- 

ments,  and  when  the  sanitary  system  of  underground 

sewers  was  established  it  came  in  for  much  opposition. 

Charles  Dickens,  in  one  of  his  delightful  articles  in 

"Household  Words"  fifty  odd  years  ago,  gave  a  rare 

lashing  to  those  who  preferred  the  open  sewers.    The 

only  innovation  which  has  in  recent  years  been  almost 

at   once  accepted   as  good— and   then    only    by    the 

wealthier  classes— is  the  motor  car.    This  annihilates 

distance,  hut  it  is  all  the  more  a   standing  danger  to 

the  public.  A  more  unsuitable  vehicle  for  the  crowded, 

cramped,  narrow,  and  sinuous  roads  of  Great  Britain 

could  not  possibly  have  been  devised. 

Having  got  on  the  roads,  let  me  step  back  on  to  the 
racecourse.  Lord  Durham's  "Gimcrack"  pronounce- 
ment in  favor  of  the  starting-gate  must  have  been 
bitter  reading  to  those  who  prefer  the  obsolete  "flag" 
method  and  talk  fondly  of  the  perfect  starts  effected 
with  the  flag  by  the  late  Mr.  MoGeorge.  At  times  he 
was  most  successful,  but  other  starts  were  dreadful. 
Reading  of  the  late  Mr.  Sam  Merry  in  connection 
with  Warwick  Races  in  "Truth,"  whose  sporting 
column  is  generally  amusing,  if  nothing  else,  I  was 
reminded  of  one  particular  start  at  the  meeting  more 
than  thirty  years  ago,  when  it  took  the  starter,  the 
deputy-starter,  and  Mr.  Merry  (who  had  charge  of 
the  advance  flag)  exactly  seventy-five  minutes  to  effect 
the  start,  and,  even  then,  one  jockey  got  better  away 
than  the  others  and  won  the  race.  The  starter  was 
Mr.  McGeorge  and  the  deputy-starter  Mr.  Tom 
Lawley.  Turning  up  old  files,  one  constantly  finds 
almost  similar  cases,  and  assuredly  the  starting 
machine  is  infinitely  better,  admitted  that  it  has  its 

drawbacks. 
Now  as  to  the  "Figure  Guide,"  which  is  a  far  better 

name  for  it  than   "System,"   the  latter  term  being 
generally  regarded  as  possessing  absolutely  hard  and 

fast  rules  which  admit  of  no  deviation.  The  main  idea 

of  the  "Figure  Guide"  is  this:    Id  the  first  volume  of 

the  Stud  Book  (Part  1)  appears  a  list   of  the  earliest 

known   mares,   roughly    about    seventy    in  number. 

These  mares  are,   with    scarcely   an   exception,   the 

source  of  the  whole  of  our  present  day   bloodstock. 

The  family  of  the  marewhosedescendentsBruceLowe 

found  had  won  the  most  races  he  termed   No.  1,  the 

next  best  No.  2,  and  so  on,  until  he  had   labelled   the 

descendents  of  nearly  fifty  of  the  old  time  mares.    He 

included  all  the  Derby,  Oaks  and  St.  Leger  winners, 

and  also  the  winners  of  the  Two  Thousand   and   One 

Thousand  Guineas  up  to  1894  (inclusive.)    Since  then 

ten  years  have  sped,  and,  in  order  to  see  if  the  principle 

established   by   Bruce  Lowe    has  stood    the  test  of 

further  time,  I  have  got  out  a  table  showing  the  num- 
ber of  winners  of  each  of  the   five  big  three-year-old 

races,  and  also  the  total  number  of  winners  belonging 

to  each  family.     The  result  proves  most  emphatically 

that  the  "Figure  Guide"  is  not   the  will  0' the  wisp 

which  ignorant  people  have  stated  it  to  be.      There  iB 

no   better   test   than   an    average  table,   whether  it 

applies  to  life  insurance,  cricket,  billiards,  or  to  what 

one  of  the  present  day  turf  writers  has  denounced  as 

"the  fantastical  nonsense  of  breeding  back   to  some 

Barb  mare  in  the  medieval  ages"     No.  1  family,  it 

will  be  seen  from  my  tablo,  is  still  on  top  with  a  total 
of  79  successes.  No.  3  family  is  second  best  at  the 
moment,  having  won  three  more  races  than  No.  2 
but  slight  disturbances  of  averages  must  Inevitably 
occur  periodically,  as  will  be  seen  again  in  the  case  of 
No.  7  family,  which  has  ousted  No.  C  family  from  its 
proper  position. 

This  is  accounted  for  by  the  four  No.  7  horses — 
Persimmon,  Diamond  Jubilee,  Flying  Fox  and  Wild- 
fowler — having  between  them  won  nine  classics  during 
the  last  ten  years,  while  No.  6  family  has  won  none  at 
all  luring  that  period.  Apart  from  slight  deviations 
from  the  normal,  the  position  of  the  first  twenty 
lilies  is  well  Jialntained,  the  only  exceptions  being

[American  Horse  Breeder. 1 
When  William  Garland,  owner  of  Sweet  Marie  2:04ij, 
visited  New  York  soon  after  the  close  of  last  season 
he  called  on  Tiverton  2:04£,  at  the  private  stable  of 
that  horse's  owner,  Mr.  A.  B.  Gwathmey.  The  cir- 
cumstance led  some  to  believe  that  the  owners  of 
these  two  fast  trotters  also  met,  and  that  a  series  of 
match  races  had  been  suggested.  This  was  mere 
rumor,  of  course,  but  it  shows  that  already  the  public 
is  interested  in  what  may  happen  when  these  two 
noted  trotters  next  meet. 

It  appears,  however,  that  Mr.  Garland  and  Mr. 
Gwathmey  did  not  meet — the  latte"  gentlemen  being 
responsible  for  the  statement.  Mr.  Gwathmey  was 
seen  last  week  on  the  floor  of  the  Cotton  Exchange,  of 
which  he  is  president.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
the  frenzied  brokers  were  making  the  room  ring  with 
their  shouts,  and  that  members  of  his  own  firm  were 
engaged  in  transactions  ranging  in  the  thousands, 
Mr.  Gwathmey  threw  off  the  mantle  of  business  to 
talk  about  his  favorite  horse,  and  until  the  interview 
was  at  an  end  did  not  pay  the  slightest  attention  to 
things  around  him.  His  voice  was,  of  necessity, 
pitched  at  a  higher  key  than  is  usually  the  case — one 
had  to  talk  loud  to  be  heard  in  the  din,  caused  by  a 
slump,  bordering  on  a  panic,  that  caused  the  failure 
of  one  firm.  Of  course  the  question  had  to  come,  it 
was  the  most  natural  thing  in  the  world.  "What  are 
yonr  plans  concerning  Tiverton  for  another  season, 
Mr.  Gwathmey?" 

"I  have  hardly  decided,"  was  the  reply.  "It  is  a 
little  too  early,  but  I  have  given  the  matter  some 
consideration.  Last  season,  you  know,  I  did  not 
expect  to  campaign  Tiverton  very  extensively,  but 
my  driver,  John  Howell,  though  so  well  of  him  that 
I  was  bound  to  give  him  a  chance.  The  horse  is  get- 
ting regular  jogging  work,  the  same  as  he  has  had  for 
several  winters  past.  Plans  for  another  season  will 
depend  on  a  number  of  things.  Much  will  depend  on 
whether  Tiverton  and  Sweet  Marie  both  stay  sound. 
Everything  Beems  to  be  in  the  favor,  present  con- 
ditions being  considered." 

"Do  you  think  the  associations  will  offer  a  2:05  class 
next  season?"  wa«  asked. 

"That  of  course  remains  to  be  seen.  I  am  inclined 
t )  think  that  even  if  the  associations  do  offer  such  a 
class  the  purses  will  be  so  small  that  a  person  could 
not  depend  on  them  alone  to  make  a  2:05  trotter  a 
paying  proposition." 

"A  series  of  matches  between  Sweet  Marie  and 
Tiverton  haB  been  suggested.  Would  you  be  in  favor 
of  something  of  that  kind?" 

"I  am  always  willing  to  race  my  horse  when  he  is 
in  shape  to  race.  I  believe  that  a  match  between  the 
two  would  be  quite  a  drawing  card,  especially  after 


they  had  come  together  once  or  twice.  They  aio 
eveDly  matched  and  I  look  for  both  to.  race  close  1o 
two  minutes,  barring  the  proverbial  accidents.  I 
think  it  would  pay  the  associations  to  hang  up  a  purse 
for  a  match  between  the  two.  It  was  done  when  Stai 
Pointer  and  Joe  Patchen  were  in  their  prime." 

Mr.  Gwathmey's  confidence  in  Tiverton  is  not  mis- 
placed. Only  two  geldings  have  ever  trotted  faster — 
Major  Delmar  1 :59J  and  The  Abbot  2:03i— the  former 
sold  for  $40,000,  the  latter  for  $26,500  at  auction 
Tiverton  now  holds  the  following  world's  race  rec- 
ords: Fastest  mile  (2:044)  ever  trotted  by  a  gelding 
in  a  race;  fastest  second  heat  (2:04i)  ever  trotted; 
fastest  two  consecutive  heats  ever  trotted  by  a  geld- 
iDg;  Tiverton  also  trotted  the  fastest  mile  in  a  race 
during  1904;  and  holds  the  record  for  the  classic 
Transylvania. 

The  Year's  Mortuary  List. 

Since  the  opening  of  the  year  just  passed,  many 
noted  men  and  horses  have  passed  from  life.  Death 
was  very  busy  among  the  breeders,  as  there  waB 
called  away  John  L.  Mitchell  of  Wisconsin;  D.  W. 
Brenneman,  A.  J.Caton  and  Chas.  S.  Dole  of  Illinois; 
Howard  T.  Cunningham  of  Iowa;  James  C.  Howland, 
Chas.  H.  Kerner  and  Capt.  B.  H.  Tuthill  of  New  York; 
R.  W.  Davis  of  Ohio;  J.  Malcolm  Forbes  of  Mas- 
sachusetts; R.  H.  Plant  of  Georgia;  and  Robert  Steel 
of  Pennsylvania.  Of  the  drivers,  Allie  Trout  and 
John  Riley  of  Massachusetts,  and  Geo.  A.  Fuller  of 
Tennessee.  Others  identified  with  the  harness  horse 
interest  were:  Alex  Newburger  and  John  B.  Sage  of 
New  York;  W.  S.  Frazier  of  Illinois;  Chas.  H.  Page 
of  Philadelphia;  and  Thos.  J.  Vail  of  Connecticut. 

Of  the  record  horses,  the  most  prominent  were  the 
trotters  The  Abbott  2:03£;  Swift  2:07;  Kentucky 
Union  2:07J;  Grattan  Boy  2:08;  Boodle  2:12$;  New

American  Shetland  Pony  Club. 

Three  hundred  and  fifty-three  pedigrees  of  Shetland 
ponies  were  registered  last  year  with  the  secretary  of 
the  American  Shetland  Pony  Club.  No  less  than  5287 
Shetland  stallions  and  mares  have  been  registered  by 
the  club  in  its  various  volumes.  This  does  not  include 
the  large  numbers  of  geldings  that  are  in  use  by 
children  all  over  this  country,  but  is  merely  a  recoid 
of  the  breeding  stock  which  is  used  to  produce  this 
most  popular  child's  pony.  The  rules  of  registration 
are  strict.  They  guarantee  both  purity  of  blood  and 
correctness  of  type.  No  pony  over  forty-six  Inches 
high  will  be  registered,  even  though  his  blood  lines  he 
unquestionably  pure. 

Fifteen  new  members  were  admitted  to  the  club  last 
year,  anu  at  the  recent  annual  meeting  at  Chicago 
eight  new  members  were  accepted.  The  membership 
is  nearly  200  and  constantly  growing,  and  every  one 
who  is  identified  with  the  production  of  these  little 
ponies  should  he  a  member  of  the  American  Shetland 
Pony  Club. 

For  some  years  Chas.  E.  Bunn,  who  was  judge  o' 
ponies  in  the  breeding  classes  at  the  recent  New  York 
Horse  Show,  has  beeD  president  of  the  club,  but  he 
asked  that  the  honor  be  passed  about  among  other 
members  of  the  club.  Others  were  thus  chosen: 
President,  J.  J.  Milne,  Monmouth,  111.,  vice-president, 
Robert  Lilburn,  Emerald  Grove,  Wis.;  secretary 
treasurer,  Mortimer  Levering,  LaFayette,  Ind.; 
corresponding  secretary,  W.  R.  Goodwin,  Jr.,  Naper- 
ville,  111.  Directors:  George  A.  Heyl,  Washington, 
111.;  Logan  Black,  Jacksonville,  111.;  James  B.  Harri" 
son,  Columbia  City,  Ind.,  and  S.  C.  Pletcher,  Lowell,

Grattan  Boy  2:08  is  dead,  having  suecumed  to  an  at-

There  have  been  few  faster  trotters,  and  surely  none 
gamer  than  this  handsome  son  of  G-rattan  2:13.  As  a 
race  horse  the  turf  has  not  known  many  his  equal, 
and  among  trotting  stallions  the  mighty  Cresceus 
alone  deserves  a  place  above  him.  Grattan  Boy's 
turf  career  covers  lour  campaigns,  and  in  the  two 
years  he  raced  down  the  Grand  Circuit  he  .endeared 
himself  to  every  follower  and  earned  a  name  that  will

THOROUGHBREDS.

?»? 

The  latest  from  the  seat  of  turf  war  in  the  Middle 
West  is  to  the  effect  that  Worth  (Chicago)  and  Union 
Jockey  Clubs  (St.  Louis)  will  join  hands  with  Ed 
Corrigan  and  his  friends  in  the  formation  of  a  new 
circuit  and  a  new  governing  turf  body.  The  follow- 
ing cities  will,  therefore,  be  represented:  Chicago, 
with  Worth  and  Hawthorne;  St.  Louis,  by  Union 
Park;  Louisville,  by  Churchill  Downs;  Nashville,  with 
Cumberland  Park;  Hot  Springs,  with  Essex  Park; 
and  New  Orleans  by  the  new  course  projected  by  H. 
D.  Brown.  Mr.  Corrigan  declares  that  four-fifths  of 
the  owners,  trainers  and  riders  identified  with  Middle 
Western  and  Southern  racing  will  flock  to  his  stand, 
and,  in  short,  declares  "the  Western  Jockey  Club  is 
oeaten  now."  Prom  a  conservative  warrior  like  Mr. 
C.  such  a  declaration  will  carry  a  lot  of  weight. 
Certain  it  is  that  he  has  a  large  following.  The  New- 
port track  had  a  representative  at  a  recent  meeting 
of  the  dissatisfied  track  owners  and  turfmen,  and 
Cincinnati  will  either  be  represented  in  the  circuit  by 
Newport  or  Latonia  As  I  predicted,  Governor  Jeff 
Davis,  of  Arkansas,  a  great  friend  of  Capt.  R.  R.  Rice, 
Of  Varner,  delivered  bis  ultimatum  to  the  Western 
Jockey  Club  so  far  as  tracks  in  Arkansas  are  con. 
cerned,  which  is  to  the  effect  that  the  horses  of  Capt. 
Rice  will  be  allowed  to  race  over  any  of  the  tracks  of 
his  home  State  or  there  will  be  no  racing  by  anybody 
over  any  of  them  for  a  very  long  period;  that  Capt. 
Rice  is  a  gentleman,  and  those  who  are  endeavoring 
to  "hold  up"  competition  with  a  racing  trust  as  a 
weapon  will  call  down  upon  their  heads  the  official 
wrath  of  the  legislators  in  the  near  future  if  they  do 
not  change  their  plans  in  keeping  Capt.  Rice  out. 
Word  was  expected  from  New  Orleans  as  to  the  pians 
proposed  for  the  new  track,  but  if  any  were  formu- 
lated they  were  not  made  public. 


racing  to  suit  a  lot  of  loud-mouthed  pencilers  in  this 
part  of  the  world  who  shout  that  the  plan  is  "too 
slow"  and  "quick  action  is  desired  in  America."

The  Pacific  Jockey  Club,  at  a  meeting  last  Tuesday, 
ratified  the  previously  announced  dates  for  Seattle 
and  Portland.  Kenilworth  Park,  Petaluma,  is  given 
twelve  days  at  the  conclusion  of  the  Oakland  meeting. 
The  matter  of  Jockey  Willie  Knapp's  contract  was 
not  decided,  and  will  not  be  until  the  papers  come 
from  New  York.  Puerl  Wilkerson,  who  claimes  the 
services  of  the  clever  lad,  submitted  a  copy  of  the 
contract.  The  new  California  Jockey  Club  stock- 
holders met  on  the  same  date  and  re-elected  the 
present  officers.  

Up  to  last  Tuesday  Bell  Reed  was  the  leader  as  to 
races  won  at  the  Oakland  meeting,  with  seven  to  his 
credit.  Sad  Sam,  Pelham  and  Honiton  had  each 
captured  five.  Sad  Sam  won  five  ou;  of  six  and  was 
third,  Pelham  five  out  of  seven  wins  and  one  second, 
Honiton  five  out  of  eight  wins  and  three  seconds.  Sir 
Wilfred,  by  Ossary,is  the  best  two-year-old  uncovered 
up  to  date.  True  Mr.  A.  B  Spreckels'  Daruma  beat 
him  on  the  occasion  of  his  first  start,  but  the  fiily 
beat  the  gate  by  several  lengths,  and  when  the 
Cameron  and  Spreckels  youngster  met  again  he 
turned  the  tables  on  her  quite  decisively,  running 
three  and  one-half  furlongs  in  0:41J  with  115  lbs.  up. 
These  youngsters  seem  to  be  head  and  shoulders 
above  anything  in  the  baby  line,  but  many  a  good 
youngster  in  training  here  has  not  faced  the  barrier 
up  to  this  time.  

The  setting  down  of  Jockey  Travers  except  so  far 
E3  the  horses  of  H.  E.  Rowell  are  concerned  seems  to 
have  cleared  the  atmosphere  mightily,  and  the  boy 
can  account  himself  exceedingly  fortunate  that  he 
was  not  ruled  off  for  life  for  several  of  his  rides  at 
Oakland.  Other  boys  who  came  in  for  not  a  little 
condemnation  from  race-goers  of  late  are  J.  Jones  and 
Greenfield,  though  the  latter  has  improved  somewhat 
the  last  few  days.         

Jockey  Hildebrand  will  probably  ride  at  Hot 
Springs  in  the  near  future,  and  Ascot  Park  turf 
patrons  have  probably  seen  the  last  of  the  great  rider, 
who  was  terribly  wrought  up  over  the  disciplining  by 
Judge  Hamilton.  The  latter  plays  no  favorites,  and 
is  making  a  name  for  himself  in  meting  out  justice  in 
the  Southern  metropolis. 


I  never  expect  to  see  the  totalizator  comeinto  general 
use  in  this  country,  as  it  has  in  New  Zealand  and  in 
several  parts  of  Australia,  but  it  would  clear  the  rac- 
ing ozone  of  numerous  foul  smells  hereabouts  were  it 
to  take  the  place  of  the  bookmaker.  It  is  nothing 
that  racing  clubs  in  the  Colonies  have  been  enabled  to 
increase  the  size  of  purses  at  least  fifty  per  cent  in  the 
last  ten  years  and  that  they  have  the  squarest  racing 
in  the  known  world,  that  the  odds  are  better  and  that 
theclubs  would  make  considerably  more  money.  They 
simply  make  too  honorable  a  proposition  out  of  horse- 


From  Los  Angeles. 

There  has  been  quite  a  shaking  up  here  duriDg  the 
last  week  amongst  jockeys  and  trainers  owing  to  the 
rigorous  action  of  Judge  Hamilton  who  is  not  disposed 
to  overlook  any  irregularities  in  the  running  of  horses. 
Jockey  Lawrence  was  the  first  one  to  incur  a  suspen- 
sion for  an  indefinite  time  as  the  result  of  the  manner 
in  which  he  has  been  riding  of  late.  This  boy'swork 
in  the  saddle  at  this  meeting  has  been  of  the  most 
slovenly  and  careless  kind,  but  at  first  no  suspicion 
of  any  dishonesty  was  attributed  to  him.  Close  watch- 
ing, however,  revealed  the  fact  that  there  was  some- 
thing radically  wrong  and  the  suspension  followed  a 
warning  which  was  given  him  some  time  ago.  Judge 
Hamilton  hopes  to  be  able  to  get  at  the  man  who  is 
supposed  to  be  behind  him  in  his  operations.  It  is 
sincerely  to  be  hoped  that  the  judges  are  successful  in 
getting  to  the  root  of  this  evil  as  it  is  clear  that  no 
boy  pulls  horses  for  the  mere  sake  of  doing  so,  and  if 
the  proper  persons  are  reached  and  summarily  dealt 
with,  as  they  should  be,  there  would  be  no  element  of 
dishonesty  to  deal  with  in  the  racing  of  horses. 

The  second  race  last  Wednesday  was  the  occasion  of 
the  ruling  off  of  the  mare  Nellie  May  and  her  trainer. 
She  was  sent  to  the  post  in  heavy  training  shoes, 
which  was  sufficient  to  cause  the  ruling. 

The  first  race  also  brought  a  package  of  grief  to 
Tangible  and  owner.  Tangible  opened  favorite  and 
was  heavily  backed  and  trainer  St.  Vincent  allowed 
the  mare  to  go  to  the  post  with  a  very  bad  leg.  The 
leg  was  bandaged  and  when  Judge  Hamilton  asked 
what  was  the  matter  with  it  the  trainer  answered, 
"NothiEg  whatever."  Tangible  ran  a  disgraceful 
race,  and  on  examination  a  gaping  wound  was  found 
under  the  bandage.  For  wilfully  deceiving  the  judge 
and  allowing  his  mare  to  start  in  an  unfit  condition, 
St.  Vincent  and  the  mare  were  indefinitely  suspended. 

Tim  Payne  was  claimed  out  of  a  selling  race  by  L.  A- 
Bonseck  for  $1325  last  week  and  in  retaliation  Bon" 
seok's  mare  Blissful  was  run  up  $1000  above  her  en- 
tered price  in  the  race  in  which  she  was  the  winner. 

Jockey  Hildebrand  is  still  sulking  over  the  fine  of 
$100  which  was  imposed  upon  him  for  rough  riding, 
aud  is  not  riding  any  more  at  present;  his  absence 
from  the  saddle  is  not  particularly  noticeable  and  the 
various  owners  who  have  heretofore  employed  him 
seem  to  find  no  difficulty  in  getting  competent  pilots 
for  their  horses. 

Last  Saturday  Harry  Stover's  horses  had  their 
inning  when  both  Kenilworth  and  Edinborough  from 
his  stable  were  winners.  Kenilworth  seems  to  have 
recovered  his  old  time  form  and  ran  one  of  his  races 
standing  alongand  hard  drive  and  winning  by  a  head 
in  1:13J  for  the  full  six  furlongs.  Cruzados  also  ran  a 
sensational  race;  breaking  flat  footed  behind  his  field 
he  soon  went  to  the  front,  stepping  the  first  half-mile 
in  46J-  seconds  and  finishing  the  six  furlongs  in  1:12J,  a 
new  track  record.  Several  horsemen  who  timed  him 
from  the  ground  caught  the  time  better  than  1:12  and 
one  of  the  watches  in  the  timers'  stand  was  stopped  at 
1:11  1-5,  but  as  the  timers  disagreed  the  slower  time 
was  hung  out.  This  horse  is  better  now  than  he  ever 
was  in  his  life.  Mr.  Cooke  who  is  training  him  says 
he  will  not  run  him  any  more  at  this  meeting,  but 
after  breeding  him  to  a  f6w  mares  in  the  spring  will 
ship  him  to  New  York  to  race  there  during  the  sum. 
mer. 

The  Pasadena  Handicap,  one  mile  and  a  furlong, 
was  won  by  Oxford,  a  grey  three-year-old  colt  by 
Paraday-Aunt  Belle  and  owned  by  Jas.  McLaughlin 
the  jockey.  Oxford  made  a  show  of  his  field,  running 
in  the  lead  throughout  and  forcing  a  fast  pace  from 
the  time  of  entering  the  back  stretch  until  the  finish 
was  reached.  Heather  Honey,  a  greatly  improved 
mare,  lightly  weighted  with  87  lbs.  was  second,  one 
length  away  and  Ethylene  was  an  indifferent  third, 
Fossil,  the  favorite,  finished  fourth.  This  is  the  first 
time  that  Oxford  has  been  asked  to  go  a  distance  and 
the  manner  in  which  he  won  this  race  stamps  him  as 
a  promising  Derby  candidate. 

Oxford  was  heavily  backed  and  his  victory  put  a 
crimp  in  the  bank  rolls  of  most  of  the  books,  espe- 
cially that  of  the  Butte  Club.  This  book  took  all  the 
Oxford  money  offered  them  and  gambled  against  his 
chances;  his  winning  stopped  their  career  at  the 
track. 

It  rained  hard  here  on  Monday  and  Tuesday  and 
the  mudders  had  their  inning,  at  least  all  of  them 
except  Andrew  Mack;  this  horse  ran  a  most  wretched 
race  on  his  first  start  being  beaten  fully  two  hundred 
yards  in  a  mile  on  a  dry  track.  His  next  effort  was  in 
the  mud  when  he  simply  "walked  in"  and  the  changed 
oondition  of  the  track  was  given  as  an  excuse  for  his 
remarkable  reversal  of  form  also  for  the  fact  that  be 


was  backed  as  "if  the  race  had  been  run  the  night 
before";  he  then  ran  another  bad  race  in  the  dry  and 
on  Monday  a  still  worse  one  in  his  favorite  going.  On 
this  occasion  he  was  in  odds-on  favorite  and  finished 
away  back  His  owner  is  to  have  an  opportunity  to 
explain  to  the  judges  how  it  all  happened,  and  no 
doubt  his  explanation  will  make  very  interesting 
reading  when  It  is  published.

James  Creeley  of  this  city  has  purchased  from  Mr. 
W.  E.  Cotton  the  thoroughbred  stallion  Chapel  by 
Wadsworth,  dam  Modjeska  by  Buckmaster.  Chapel 
is  a  bay  horse  foaled  in  1901,  and  has  run  several  very 
creditable  races  during  the  past  two  years.  He  was 
entered  in  the  Burns'  Handicap  and  other  big  races 
for  this  year,  but  ruptured  a  tendon  a  few  weeks  ago 
and  was  sold  to  Mr.  Creeley  who  recognized  his  value 
as  a  stock  horse,  and  also  took  into  consideration  the 
fact  that  a  year's  rest  may  restore  his  ailing  legs  so 
that  he  vjlll  do  to  race  again.  On  breeding  and  looks

improve  the  stock  of  horses  in  several  sections  of  this 
State  where  no  horse  of  his  calibre  is  now  owned. 

Breeding  Show  Horses. 

The  growing  popularity  and  extension  of  horse 
shows  presents  the  possibility  of  a  great  industry. 
Nearly  every  city  of  100,000  or  more  inhabitants  new 
maintains  an  annual  horse  exposition,  where  a  decade 
ago  such  events  were  restricted  to  New  York,  Chicago 
and  other  cities  of  the  first  class.  Horse  shows  have 
become  the  most  fashionable  function  among  the 
leaders  of  society,  and  such  aff  lirs  are  patronized  by 
the  wealthiest  peoplein  the  nation.  Among  the  causes 
operating  to  popularize  and  increase  the  value  of  fine 
horses,  horse  shows  are  paramount  says  the  Drover's 
Journal.  As  the  ability  to  win  honors  or  even  com- 
plimentary commendation  demands  animals  of  high 
quality,  the  breeding  of  such  prize-winners  Bhouldi 
prove  a  profitable  branch  of  the  equine  industry. 

At  the  present  time  there  is  no  establishment 
specifically  devoted  to  raising  show  horses.  The 
animals  (hat  have  achieved  the  widest  renown  in  the 
harness  classes  were  Standard-bred  trotters.  A  few 
notable  ring  champions  were  also  Hackney  animals, 
and  others  had  a  strong  infusion  of  Thoroughbred 
or  French  Coach  horse  blood.  But  the  enterprise  of 
breeding  directly  for  show  animals  has  never  been 
undertaken  by  a  fancier.  The  feasibility  of  such  an 
enterprise  is  unquestioned.  Show  animals  are  not 
equine  freaks,  but  performers  approximating  per- 
fection in  conformation  and  action.  They  represent 
the  exceptions  to  a  general  rule.  Breeders  who  aim, 
to  raise  choice  harness  horses  occasionally  produce  a. 
show  animal.  Yet  is  it  not  possible  to  develop  a  class 
of  horses  that  shall  become  distinguished  for  personal 
beauty  and  attractive  action?  It  would  not  be  a  con- 
travention to  the  laws  of  breeding  to  consummate 
such  an  undertaking. 

Show  animals  cannot  be  produced  by  promiscuous 
breeding  operations.  The  foundation  stock  of  a 
show  horse  breeding  establishment  must  comprise 
approximate  perfection.  The  proprietor  of  a  show 
horse  stock  farm  will  need  to  make  his  selections  from 
such  trotting  families  as  have  won  a  reputation  for 
individual  excellence.  Many  families  are  renowned 
for  extreme  speed,  and  as  fast  performers  have  been 
the  best  sellers,  breeders  have  sought  to  produce  a 
champion  speed  performer  rather  than  a  champion 
show  animal.  Some  strains  of  breeding,  like  the 
Daniel  Lamberts,  Mambrino  Palchens  and  Clays, 
were  celebrated  for  faultless  proportions.  Mambrino 
King,  King  Rene  and  Nelson  achieved  renown  in  the 
show  ring,  as  well  as  the  sires  of  speed. 

If  two  sires  were  selected  of  the  most  approved  type 
and  from  families  of  natural  equine  beauty  and  bred 
to  the  right  kind  of  mares,  and  the  resultant  foals 
crossed  back  to  opposite  sires,  a  show  breed  of  ani- 
mals might  be  established.  Mares  that  produced 
superlative  offspring  should  be  retained  in  the  harem, 
and  dams  that  dropped  only  ordinary  quality  foals 
should  be  discarded.  The  evolution  of  a  breed  of 
show  animals  is  reasonably  within  the  purview  of 
possibilities.  It  could  not  be  consummated  in  one 
equine  generation,  but  a  course  of  experimentation 
within  the  principle-  of  methodical  selection  will 
assuredly  achieve  success.  It  is  a  consummation  as 
easily  attained  as  the  development  of  the  present 
breeds.  Intelligence  and  perseverance,  with  the 
proper  foundation  stock,  will  establish  a  breed  of 
show  animals  as  certainly  as  other  breeds  have  been 
evolved  by  patient  application  of  the  methodical  laws, 
of  reproduction.

Hunting  in  Royal  Preserves. 

The  time  of  year  which  King  "Edward  likes  best  of 
all  is  that  which  affords  him  the  most  abundant 
opportunities  for  the  practice  of  bis  favorite  sport  of 
shooting.  Both  at  Sandringharn  and  the  country 
seats  of  his  friends  he  is  constantly  busy  with  his  gun 
among  the  pheasants  and  other  game.  Among  the 
best  sportsmen  of  the  country  the  King  has  the 
reputation  for  being  one  of  the  keenest  shots  of  them 
all.  He  likes  most  of  all  to  bang  away  at  an  overhead 
"rocketer,"  and  rarely  misses. 

The  gunroom  at  Sandringham  is  one  of  the  finest  in 
England.  It  is  lined  with  glass  cases  containing  a 
variety  of  weapons  for  every  conceivable  purpose,  and 
yet  complete  as  it  is  there  is  rarely  a  year  but  the 
King  adds  some  new  gun  to  it,  the  special  points  of 
which  have  taken  his  fancy.  The  King's  guna  are,  of 
course,  hanamerless,  and  are  quite  plain  and  unorna- 
mented,  while  their  distinguishing  feature  is  that  they 
have  a  very  light  pull  on  the  left  trigger. 

The  gameroom,  also,  where  the  spoils  of  the  day's 
shoooting  are  temporarily  preserved,  is  a  very  won- 
derful department,  and  it  is  said  that  there  is  only  one 
In  the  world — that  established  by  the  late  Baron 
Hlrsch,  which  is  capable  of  containing  10,000  head  of 
game  at  the  same  time — which  is  bigger  than  it. 
About  6000  head  can  be  comfortably  stored  in  it  at 
once. 

Most  elaborate  arrangements  are  made  in  advance 

for  u  good  pheasant  shooting  season  ou  the  King's 

estate-.  ingham,  under  the  care  of  the  head 

keeper,  10,000  pheasants  are  bred   every   year.     The 

eggs  are  first  of  all  placed  in  Incubators,  and    shortly 

before  hatching  time  comes  on  they  are  removed  and 

laid    under   100U   barndoor   fowls.     When     they     are 

hatch."  arranged    in   pens  and   carried   on 

made  for  the  purpose,  all  over  t^e 

1     to   keep,    rear  and 

umber  of  them.    So  well  and 

i  this  done  that  when  the  autumn  comes 

there  are  not  finer  pheasants  in   Great  Brliain   than 

those  which  fly  on  the  King's  preserves,  so  white  and 

tender  Is  their  flesh  and   so  wonderfully  plump  are 

they. 

d  ahooting  parties  usually  consists 
of  aboutr  eight  or  ten  guns,  and  every  man  belonging 
to   it   it-  invariably  a  first-rate  shot,  for  the  Ki  i 

i  ud  marksman,  fiuds  it  difficult,  to 

nis  respect  in  others     Besides, 

II  remembered  that  many  years  agohia  majesty 

ision    received   a  good  many  pellets  in  bis 

urn  the  gun  i  1 1  ckless  and  careless 

nan,  who  was  quite  oblivious   to  the  safety  of 

crowned  heads  ao  long  as  he  waa  permitted  to 


fire  away  at  the  game  in  his  own  fashion.  Never  in 
his  life  has  the  King  injured  any  one,  or  come  at  all 
near  to  doing  so. 

When  the  King  and  his  friends  are  going  out  shoot- 
ing, notice  is  given  the  day  before  all  over  the  estate, 
and  farm  work,  except  that  which  can  be  quietly  and 
unobtrusively  pursued,  is  then  practically  suspended 
for  the  day.  *  Even  the  countryfolk  are  warned  to 
keep  clear  of  the  lanes.  The  keepers  turn  out  in  the 
royal  livery  of  green  and  gold,  and  the  hundred 
beaters  wear  picturesque  smocks,  with  hatbands  of 
scarlet.  Mr.  Jackson,  the  head  keeper,  finally  goes 
ovnr  the  whole  of  the  ground  to  see  that  all  is  in  apple 
pie  order,  and  that  the  game  carts  are  properly  dis- 
posed at  those  points  where  the  guns  are  expected  to 
be  busiest. 

On  such  a  morning  the  King  does  not  usually  break- 
fast with  bis  guests,  but  leaves  everyone  to  do  just 
as  he  likes  so  long  as  he  arrives  at  the  meeting  place  at 
the  appointed  hour,  which  is  most  frequently  between 
10  and  II  o'clock.  As  soon  as  the  King  appears  on  the 
scene  the  Bhooting  begins.  Each  sportsman  works 
with  from  two  to  four  guns  two  loaders  constantly 
preparing  them  for  him. 

The  King  of  late  has  taken  to  using  a  little  cob  to 
carry  him  from  point  to  point  when  any  distance  has 
to  be  traversed,  and  he  always  takes  with  him  a  little 
one-legged  shooting  stool,  for  resting  during  a  weary 
wait,  at  which  times  he  will  usually  regale  his  guests 
with  a  good  story  from  his  own  inimitable  collection. 
The  lunch  in  the  middle  of  the  day,  either  taken  in 
the  open  air,  at  a  farmhouse  or  in  a  special  apartment 
at  Wolferton  station,  is  always  very  substantial,  but 
quite  plain,  a  kind  of  Irish  stew,  to  which  the  King  is 
very  partial  when  out  shooting,  frequently  making 
its  jppearance  on  the  menu 

The  guns  cease  fire  at  4  o'clock.  It  often  happens 
on  the  occasion  of  a  really  big  shoot  that  from  2000  to 
3000  head  of  game  will  be  accounted  for.  At  the  close 
of  the  day  their  numbers,  down  to  a  single  pheasant, 
are  entered  in  the  game  book,  which  has  been  kept 
very  accurately  ever  since  shooting  began  at  Sand- 
ringham. It  shows  that  from  1870  to  1880  between 
6800  ond  8700  head  of  game  were  shot  every  year,  and 
that  thenceforth  the  bags  largely  increased,  until  in 
the  winter  of  1885  no  fewer  than  16,000  head  were  ac- 
counted for.  After  a  day  's  shoot  the  results  of  it  are 
always  spread  out  on  the  lawn  for  his  majesty's  in- 
spection before  dinner.  Then  they  are  seni, to  hospitals, 
charitable  institutions,  bis  majesty 's  frierjds  and  the 
tenantry. 

It  may  not  be  generally  known  that  there  is  scarcely 
any  form  of  game,  big  or  small,  which  the  King  has 
not  shot  in  his  time.  He  has  shot  elephants  when  in 
Ceylon,  and  according  to  the  prescribed  custom  he 
personally  cut  off  the  tail  of  the  first  one  that  he  killed. 
When  he  was  in  India  he  shot  leopards,  cheetahs  and 
tigers,  and  was  amazingly  skilful  and  daring  in  doing 
so. 

On  one  occasion  he  shot  six  tigers  in  one  morning, 
two  of  them  being  killed  outright  with  single  shots 
from  his  gun.  He  set  his  heart  on  shooting  a  crocodile 
when  he  was  in  Egypt,  and  in  order  to  accomplish  his 
purpose  he  spent  many  days  in  anxious  search  for  one, 
repeatedly  being  out  of  bed  at  4:30  o'clock  in  the 
morning,  and  lying  half  an  hour  later  in  sand  holes  or 
in  the  mud  on  the  banks  of  the  Nile.  At  last  he  shot 
a  beauty.  He  stayed  up  the  whole  night  through  on 
several  occasions  in  a  most  anxious  endeavor  to  add  a 
hyena  to  his  bag,  but  he  failed,  and  it  is  the  only 
thing  that  the  King  has  ever  wanted  to  shoot  and  not 
shot. 

Sport  With  the  Butter  Fish. 

With  California  anglers  there  is  always  "something 
doing"  the  year  round.  From  the  following  account 
in  the  Los  Angeles  Times  salt  water  fishermen  contrive 
to  get  some  sport  ard  much  recreation  during  January 
outing  days  at  the  ocean  side  fishing  resorts: 

Sea  anglers  who  at  present  find  their  chief  pleasure 
in  the  pursuits  of  pompano,  or  butter  fish  as  some 
fishermen  call  tbem,  and  the  other  small  fish  which 
now  abound  in  San  Pedro  Bay  may  be  glad  to  learn 
how  these  really  gamy  and  toothsome  little  creatures 
can  be  taken  in  a  manner  more  sportsmanlike  than 
the  snag-hook  butchery  which  during  the  last  two 
weeks  has  corrupted  more  than  one  brother  of  the 
angle,  who  heretofore  has  borne  a  spotless  record  for 
piscatorial  fair  play. 

In  snagging  pompano  there  is  no  6port  other  than 
the  satisfaction  of  getting  them — a  poor  reward  indeed 
to  any  man  who  deserves  that  highest  title  of 
American  nobility — a  sportsman.  Thefeeble  wigglings 
oi  the  poor  little  fish  as  it  vainly  tries  to  rid  its  tiny 
body  of  a  murderous  grab  hook  are  really  pitiful,  and 
it  is  indeed  strange  that  anybody  with  the  right  spirit 
would  even  attempt  such  a  practice  if  the  quarry 
sought  could  by  any  exercise  of  patience  or  persever- 
ance, be  persuaded  to  "bite"  in  the  good  old  way. 

This  is  not  a  very  arduous  task  with  pompano,  in- 
asmuch as  the  pretty  little  things  are  perennially 
hungry  and  generally  willing  to  give  the  light-rodster 
a  keen  run  for  his  money,  providing  he  goes  about  his 
work  in  the  proper  manner.  In  common  with  most 
varieties  of  game  fish,  the  pompano  is  shy,  and  the 
finest  of  tackle  is  most  likely  to  persuade  it  to 
relax  vigilance  in  the  quest  of  food,  which  after  all  is 
a  li-h's  most  important  vocation  in  life,  just  as  it  is 
of  some  creatures  considerably  higher  in  the  natural 
scale. 

The  manufacture  of  a  pompano  leader  is  quite  a 
job  and  one  Involving  considerable  knowledge  of  silk- 


worm gut  and  its  manipulaticn.  Often  the  work  can 
be  simplified  by  the  purchase  of  a  good  single  gut 
leader  already  made  up,  to  which  the  hooks  can  be 
looped  without  much  loss  of  time.  But  the  past 
master  of  the  gentle  craft  is  par  excellence,  his  own 
tackle  maker,  and  he  takes  the  keenest  pride  in  put- 
ting together,  so  far  as  possible,  all  the  appliances 
that  he  uses  in  taking  fish  Such  veterans  of  the 
game  as  these  will  purchase  a  dozen  strands  of  the 
best  single-gut  obtainable,  soaking  them  an  hour  or 
two  in  warm  water,  and  will  then  start  to  work. 

The  matter  of  gut  knots  is  hardly  one  that  can  be 
defined  on  paper  so  that  a  novice  can  tie  them,  hut 
any  veteran  angler  knows  twists  and  turns  that  will 
hold,  some  of  them  being  so  simple  that  a  minute's 
practice  will  master  the  secret,  while  others,  the 
more  finished  "water  knots"  and  loop  fastenings,  are 
altogether  too  intricate  to  begin  on.  The  astening 
known  as  the  "double  water  knot"  is  unquestionably 
the  best  for  gut,  as  this  odd  material  must  be  tied  in 
certain  ways  and  only  when  soaking  wet,  else  it  will 
crack  and  have  no  strength  whatever. 

The  best  hook  for  pompano  catching  is  a  No.  10 
double-barbed  "Catch-the-Nibbler,"  but  that  size  is 
hard  to  obtain,  and  in  its  absence  a  Carlisle,  sneck  or 
sproat  will  answer  every  purpose,  though  the  double- 
barbed  creations  really  seem  to  live  up  to  their  trade 
name  in  "catching  the  nibblers."  The  snells  sold  on 
these  when  made  up  are  altogether  too  long,  and  the 
wise  angler  will  shorten  them  up  until  the  hook  will 
only  clear  the  leader  two  or  three  inches.  This  per- 
mits about  three  times  as  many  hooks  to  be  used  as 
otherwise,  and  is  therefore  an  advantage,  since  pom- 
pano are  gregarious  and  bite  in  company, half  a  dozen 
sometimes  being  raised  at  one  haul  by  allowing  the 
fish  first  hooked  to  play  around  a  bit. 

Only  a  light  sinker  is  required  in  pompano  catchir  g 
the  depth  to  be  fished  depending  entirely  upon  what 
water  the  school  may  happen  to  be  running  through; 
sometimes  pompano  are  near  the  surface.  Another 
day  they  may  be  just  off  the  bottom,  though  mid- 
water  is  their  usual  habitat. 

By  taking  snelled  hooks  and  tying  them  together, 
using  the  snells  as  a  leader,  an  impromptu  apparatus 
can  be  rigged  up  which  will  answer  the  purpose  fairly 
well,  but  the  thiee  to  five-foot  leader  made  up  frcm 
single  guts  is  enough  better  to  warrant  all  the  trouble 
there  is  in  the  making  of  it. 

The  rod  of  the  pompano  fisher  should  be  very 
elastic,  and  for  wharf  use  a  cane  pole  such  as  used  far 
mackeral  is  quite  the  thing.  A  reel  is  not  necessary, 
as  the  long  rod  will  lift  the  fish  without  any  need  of 
taking  in  line.  Those  who  fish  from  a  boat  will  find  a 
reel  a  convenience,  aDd  will  enjoy  better  sport  with  a 
nine  or  ten-foot  rod  of  very  light  caliber  than  with 
anything  shorter.  The  eastern  black  bass  rods  of 
Dr.  HenshalPs  design  are  almost  ideal  for  the  require- 
ments of  local  sport  at  present.  A  stiff  rod  loses  many 
pomparo  through  tearing  the  hooks  from  their  little 
mout> 

The  oesu  or  all  baits  for  pompano  fishing  is  lobster 
exposed  to  the  sun  for  a  day  or  two  until  some  of  the 
water  is  dried  out  of  it.  This  makes  it  stay  on  the 
hook  better  than  the  fresh  meat  does.  Pompano  live 
it  better  than  shark,  ray  or  anything  else  though  in 
the  absence  of  lobster  bait,  steaks  cut  from  the  wings 
of  shovelnose  sharks,  "stingarees,"  and  such  other 
finned  nuisances  are  a  very  good  substitute. 

The  veteran  pompano  catcher  is  never  in  a  hurry 
and  seldom  strikes  his  fish.  Pompano  bite  slowly  and 
nibble  at  the  bait  before  taking  it  in,  as  must  every 
small-mouthed  fish.  They  can  absorb  a  gob  of  lob- 
ster as  big  as  one's  fingernail  if  given  a  little  time  to 
do  it,  but  baits  of  as  small  size  as  can  be  made  to  stay 
on  the  hook  answer  better  in  most  cases. 

Asa  well-made  pompano  leader  has  three  or  four 
hoots  to  every  foot  of  its  running  leDgth  there  need 
never  be  any  haste  to  raise  a  hooked  fish.  In  the  bay 
where  pompano  run  past  in  schools  and  leave  toll 
each  trip,  it  is  an  advantage  to  get  as  many  on  as 
possible  for  every  haul;  the  struggles  of  the  hooked 
ones  Lend  to  keep  the  others  around  and  often  induce 
them  to  bite  also.  A  "raise"  of  half  a  ^ozen  strug- 
gling quarter-pound  pompano  is  likely  to  give  even  a 
veteran  angler  some  "sensations"  very  nearly  akin  to 
keen  pleasure. 

Fishing  in  the  bay  at  present,  the  always  to  be 
reckoned  with  kingfish  and  herring  are  sure  to  present 
themselves,  and  some  a  shade  larger  for  the  tackle 
are  likely  to  stray  along,  but  a  little  time  and  patience 
will  generally  wear  them  out  without  damage  tc  the 
gear.  The  silvery  goggle-eyed  perch  familiarly 
known  to  fishers  as  "Pasadena  pompano, "  from  their 
slight  resemblance  to  the  better  fish,  are  always  will- 
ing to  bite,  and  some  of  the  unsophisticated  take  them 
home  by  mistake  every  Sunday.  They  are  about  the 
most  worthless  thing  that  wears  fins  in  the  ocean; 
watery  and  poorly  flavored,  they  are  so  full  of  bones 
that  a  cat  will  turn  away  from  one  in  disdain.  The 
origin  of  the  nickname  is  shrouded  in  the  same 
mystery  that  envelops  the  jesting  of  shooters  who  call 
spoonbill  ducks  "Pasadena  mallards. " 

One  big  advantage  of  a  pompano  leader  is  that  it 
does  equally  good  service  for  jack  smelts  which  are  at 
present  biting  in  San  Pedro  bay  along  with  the  pom- 
pano. These  lithe,  silvery  fellows  put  up  a  lively 
tussel  for  their  inches,  and  are  well  worth  arjgling  for, 
even  when  the  pompano  are  in  evidence.  Lobster 
bait  looks  good  to  them,  and  no  change  except  as  to 
depth  is  necessary  when  they  are  desired.  The  smelts 
generally  run  higher  than  the  pompano.  Some  very 
fine  silversides  of  fourteen  and  fifteen  inches  in  length 
have  been  pulled  out  oF  San  Pedro  bay  during  the 
week. 

The  present  period  is  a  veritable  "picnic"  for  the 
small  fishermen  and  large  parties  have  enjoyed  it 
everyday.  Sundays,  standing  room  on  the  wharves 
is  at  a  premium.  Those  who  desire  to  have  elbow 
room  find  it  necessary  to  secure  boats  and  anchor 
these  out  in  the  stream,  though  the  fishing  is  just  as 
good  from  the  decks  of  the  lumber  schooners  which 
lie  alongside  the  piles. 

The  peculiar,  fresh-cut-grass  cdor  of  pompano  when 
first  caught  has  been  a  source  of  much  speculation  to 
shore  fishermen   this  winter,  and   even   the  oldest  of

them  are  at  a  loss  to  account  for  it,  unless  it  be  due  to 
some  kind  of  vegeteble  food  which  the  little  fish  eats, 
and  to  which,  doubtless,  it  owes  its  delicate  flavor  and 
freedom  from  the  "fishiness"  of  some  other  varieties. 
It  is  this  sweet  taste  that  causes  the  pom  pan  o  to  hover 
around  40  cents  a  pound  in  the  markets.  Like  the 
sanddab.  it  is  a  dish  that  people  who  do  not  like  most 
fish  relish  because  as  they  say,  "Tt  doesn't  taste  a  bit 
like  fish." 

MONTANA    BUFFALOES     SHIPPED    HERE. 

TheGolden  Gate  Park  herd  of  buffaloes  was  recently 
increased  by  the  arrival  here  of  a  bull  and  two  cows. 
The  three  animals  were  shipped  from  Montana  in  a 
cattle  car  and  then  carried  to  the  park  in  a  specially 
constructed  cage  built  on  a  huge  truck. 

The  three  Montana  bisons  were  turned  loose  in  a 
paddock  near  where  the  spotted  deer  and  the  kanga- 
roos reside.  For  a  while  they  trotted  here  and  there 
through  the  inclosure,  sniffing  the  wind  suspiciously. 
But  one  taste  of  California  grass  made  them  feel  at 
home. 

The  Park  Commissioners,  who  take  every  precau- 
tion for  the  welfare  of  tbe  buffaloes,  found  that  the 
park  herd  was  in  danger  of  deteriorating  because  of 
fn-breeding.  New  stock  was  needed,  so  the  three  new 
buffaloes  were  purchased  from  the  Eaton  ranch  in 
Montana.  The  importations  are  fine,  healthy  speci- 
mens of  the  bison  and  all  of  them  are  two-year-olds. 

The  new  arrivals  will  be  kept  to  themselves  for  a 
while.  The  males  of  the  original  herd  would  fiercely 
resent  the  intrusion  of  the  bull  from  Montana  and  the 
cows  in  the  big  paddock  might  not  receive  the  females 
cordially  at  first  introduction. 

The  Montana  animals  look  little  the  worse  for  the 
rough  experience  they  have  been  through.  They 
were  roped  by  dexterous  cowboys  on  the  Eaton  ranch; 
then  they  wereloaded  into  a  cattle  car  and  for  several 
days  whirled  along  behind  a  noisy,  shrieking  engine. 
They  seemed  more  than  glad  to  feel  the  soft  turf  under 
their  feet.  Their  present  quarters  are  a  little  cramped, 
for  in  Montana  they  had  many  acres  to  roam  over. 

The  sight  of  a  truck  load  of  buffaloes  naturally 
created  considerable  excitement  along  the  streets  of 
this  city.  The  animalseyed  the  curious  speciatorsin- 
differently  though  they  had  never  been  in  close 
quarters  with  mankind  until  they  started  on  the  trip 
to  California.  One  of  the  cows  has  a  slight  defect. 
A  horn  was  torn  from  her  head  in  a  fight  back  in 
Montana.  

SElSON    ENDED. 

In  British  Columbia,  December  31st,  was  the  last 
day  of  the  season  for  the  shooting  of  grouse  of  all 
kinds,  and  on  Jan.  1st  the  lasG  shots  were  fired  at 
quail  and  the  pheasants.  The  birds  have  been — more 
especially  the  grouse— a  scarcer  quantity  than  usual 
this  autumn,  and  all  lovers  of  the  gun  up  north  are 
joining  hands  to  press  desired  amendments  to  the 
game  law  when  the  legislature  meets  on  the  9th  prox  , 
the  most  important  feature  of  which  will  be  the  pro- 
posal to  prohibit  the  sale  of  blue  grouse  absolutely. 
It  is  felt  that  such  a  step  is  imperative  if  this  fine 
game  bird  is  to  be  saved  from  extermination  in  the 
accessible  districts.  It  is  also  probable  that  the  House 
will  be  asked  to  fix  a  maximum  for  a  day's  bag,  the 
only  law  in  this  direction  at  present  on  the  statute 
book  heing  with  respect  to  ducks,  of  which  birds  it  is 
enacted  that  no  one  shall  kill  or  take  more  than  250  in 
the  course  of  a  season.  This  section  of  the  act  is 
absolutely  and  necessarily  inoperative  and  impossible 
of  enforcement. 

The  Collie  as  a  Worker. 


(Written  by  E.  Bjorkeland  for  the  Montreal  Collie  Club  ) 

In  my  attempt  to  describe  the  pure-bred  Collie  as  a 
worker  I  much  regret  my  inability  as  a  writer,  but 
perhaps  with  my  inborn  love  for  dogs  and  my  hand- 
ling of  live  stock  for  twenty-five  years,  it  follows  that 
I  must  have  had  workers  more  or  less  useful. 

Before  going  into  the  subject  at  hand  I  may  remark 
that  some  men  are  able  to  get  the  best  work  out  of 
almost  any  dog  where  others  utterly  fail.  The  whole 
secret  lies  in  our  ability  to  get  the  dog's  unbounded 
confidence,  then  the  dog's  working  is  only  limited  by 
his  Intelligence  or  his  aptitude  to  understand  what  is 
wanted. 

As  to  what  is  wanted  of  a  worker  there  seems  to  be 
some  difference  of  opinion,  and  in  too  many  cases  I 
have  heard  a  dog  called  a  worker  if  he  can  bring  home 
the  cows  and  drive  the  neighbor's  sheep  off  the  field, 
the  whole  education  consisting  in  teaching  the  dog  to 
understand  the  meaning  of  "Sic-em."  This  learned, 
the  dog  will  run  at  the  cows,  bark  and  bite,  drive  the 
cows  to  the  far  end  of  the  pasture,  where  they  must 
turn  or  jump  the  fence;  the  dog  follows,  and  as  the 
cows  have  no  other  way  of  getting  rid  of  their 
tormenter  they  naturally  run  for  the  barn.  En  this 
case  it  is  the  cows  that  are  trained  to  run  home  when 
the  dog  comes. 

Personally  I  require  a  dog  of  a  different  education 
and  ability.  He  must  bring  home  the  cows,  but  do  it 
gently  without  exciting  them.  He  must  also  pen  a 
flock  of  sheep  at  any  place  when  required;  drive  cattle 
or  sheep  on  the  road  and  keep  them  there;  and 
furthermore,  to  be  a  farmer's  dog,  he  must  handle 
pigs,  the  most  troublesome  of  all  animals  to  drive; 
and  all  of  this  requires,  as  you  can  readily  see,  the 
very  highest  intelligence,  besides  an  inborn  aptitude 
for  such  work. 

I  will  pass  over  the  various  breeds  or  mongrels  I 
have  had  and  come  to  my  first  pure  bred  Collie. 
Fanny  I  got  as  a  pup  in  the  winter  of  1896,  from 
Robert  Allan,  Mt.  Royal  Vale,  and  began  to  work  her 
at  six  months  of  age.  The  first  time  I  brought  her 
into  the  pasture  with  young  cattle,  Fanny  rounded 
up  and  drove  the  cattle  to  me  and    held    them   there 


wheeling  about  and  turning  back  anyone  attempting 
to  stray.  This  very  thing  I,  with  more  or  less  success, 
had  tried  to  teach  dogs  of  various  breeds — the  driving 
to  me.  This  was  a  natural  instinct  in  her;  training 
she  had  none.  She  learned  obedience  as  all  my  dogs 
must  do,  and  to  understand  hand  motions  which 
indicated  to  drive  to  right  or  left,  forward  or  back, 
and  I  fear  I  shall  never  find  her  equal. 

As  proof  of  her  intelligence  I  may  relate  one 
instance.  In  tbe  fall  of  '97  we  had  twenty-five  or 
thirty  half-grown  pigs  running  in  a  pasture;  they  got 
out  one  day  and  into  a  cornfield  unknown  to  me,  but 
Fanny,  on  her  own  responsibility,  drove  the  pigs  out 
of  the  cornfield  over  to  the  pasture  gate,  which  was 
closed.  I  was  told  by  one  who  saw  her  that  she  ran 
up  to  the  locked  gate,  then  sat-  down  and  seemed  to 
turn  matters  over  in  her  mind,  then  with  a  few  lively 
jumps  and  bites  ran  the  pigs  together,  then  off  to  find 
me,  then  by  excited  barking  she  tried  to  make  me 
understand  that  something  was  wrong,  and  when  I 
followed  her  she  went  ahead  and  had  all  the  pigs  at 
the  gate  ready  to  turn  in.  I  could  name  many  other 
Collies  of  great  merit  as  workers,  they  being  descended 
from  Fanny  and  may  possibly  have  derived  their 
working  ability  from  her. 

We  will  take  up  my  latest  acquisition,  Ben  Davis, 
whose  sire  is  Woodmansterne  Conrad,  dam  Logan's 
Apple  Blossom,  a  pedigree  that  is  well  known  to  Collie 
breeders,  and  it  is  equally  well  known  that  none  of 
Ben's  ancestors  have  been  workers  for  many  genera- 
tions. I  purchased  this  dog  from  Mr.  Robert  Mc- 
Ewan,  qualities  were  aroused  and  he  showed  an  ex- 
pression that  would  gladden  the  heart  of  any  Collie 
man.  Knowing  BenV  gentle  disposition  and  that  be 
would  not  chase  sheep  or  anjthing  else,  I  tried  to 
make  him  understand  the  word  "fetch."  Ben  started 
slowly  at  first,  gradually  increasing  in  speed,  every 
vital  fibre  in  his  body  and  brain  working  in  harmony, 
and  rounding  up  those  sheep  drove  them  to  the 
midaleof  the  field,  heading  off  and  turningany  strays, 
neither  barking  nor  biting,  just  galloping  along  close 
up  to  the  sheep  and  throwing  his  body  against  them 
to  turn  them.  I  realize  my  inability  to  properly 
describe  this.  I  have  often  watched  a  Pointer  or 
Setter  on  his  first  day  in  the  field,  and  any  gunning 
man  knows  the  excitement  when  such  a  dog  finds  his 
first  game,  but  this  is  nothing  compared  to  the  sight 
of  a  good  Collie  rounding  up  his  first  sheep. 

I  had  no  right  to  start  off  with  another  mat's 
sheep,  but  right  or  wrong  I  headed  for  the  gate  and 
Ben  followed  with  the  sheep  slowly  but  surely,  turn- 
ing them  into  a  narrow  lane  leading  to  the  farm. 
Now  I  did  not  want  to  take  the  sheep  down  to  the 
farm,  so  after  keeping  them  there  for  a  short  time,  I 
started  to  turn  them  back  The  sheep,  however,  did 
not  feel  inclined  to  go  back,  and  when  200  sheep  stop 
in  a  narrow  lane  they  form  a  blockade  that  is  not 
easily  broken,  and  here  I  had  another  agreeable  sur- 
prise, showing  plainly  the  instinct  there  is  in  the  pure 
bred  Collie,  although  it  may  be  dormant. 

Twice  Ben  jumped  the  fence  and  tried  tostart  them, 
but  could  not;  then  without  word  or  sign  from  me  he 
ran  along  the  backs  of  the  flock  to  the  foremost, 
barked,  and  with  his  head  tried  to  separate  them.  He 
got  them  started,  and  again  when  tbe  sheep  were 
passing  the  pasture  gate  Ben  ran  over  the  sheep, 
headed  them  off,  and  turned  them  into  the  pasture.  I 
cannot  say  who  was  prouder,  the  dog  or  his  master, 
but  there  was  not  enough  money  in  Canada  to  buy 
Ben  Davis  that  day.  Since  then  I  have  had  no  trouble 
in  getting  Ben  to  work  on  cattle,  sheep  or  pigs,  and 
today  I  can  trulv  say  that  few  dogs  will  equal  him  in 
working  ability  or  general  intelligence. 

How  do  we  train  the  Collie?  I  have  no  rules  for 
this;  each  dog  may  require  different  handling.  One 
rule  I  have  equally  for  all,  and  the  same  for  Pointers 
and  Setters — if  they  do  not  point  naturally  they  are 
not  worth  training.  So  with  the  Collie;  if  he  doesnot 
head  the  flock  towards  me  he  is  not  worth  training. 
My  dogs  always  follow  me,  but  I  only  let  one  dog 
work  at  a  time;  they  must  learn  obedience  to  word, 
whistle,  or  hand  motion.  I  do  not  let  my  dogs  work 
for  fun,  and  get  off  when  half  done.  When  I  give  the 
order  the  work  must  be  done,  and  if  the  dogs  cannot 
do  it  I  must,  and  let  the  dogs  see  that  it  can  and  must 
be  done. 

My  dogs  have  perfectconfidencein  me,  and  generally 
this  confidence  becomes  mutual.  A  Collie  cannot  be 
trained  in  a  month  nor  a  year;  it  takes  a  lifetime,  as 
there  is  always  something  new  to  learn.  Be  on  the 
look-out  that  he  does  not  learn  bad  habits,  which  he 
is  as  liable  to  as  his  master. 

I  cannot  let  this  opportunity  pass  without  remind- 
ing you  of  the  duty  which  rests  on  you — "The  Only 
Collie  Club  in  Canada."  It  is  in  your  power  to  guard 
this,  our  favorite  breed,  from  taint.  Do  not  lose  the 
working  quality  for  a  mere  imaginary  beauty  —

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


PACIFIC    ADVISORY    BOARD. 

A  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board  was  held 
in  this  city  on  Monday  evening  and  considerable  busi- 
ness of  an  executive  character  transacted. 

Charges  had  been  filed  against  Charles  Perry 
alleging  that  his  Collie  Island  Chief  had  been  entered 
at  shows  under  a  wrong  pedigree  and  that  incorrect 
pedigrees  had  been  given  to  breeders  who  had  secured 
Btud  services  by  Chief.  The  matter  was  adjusted  by 
cautioning  Mr.  Perry  to  procure  the  proper  breeding 
of  his  dog,  if  possible.,  and  to  refrain  from  further 
publishing  a  pedigree  of  Chief  that  was  ascertained  to 
be  incorrect.  Mr.  Perry  was  held  guiltless  of  any 
intention  of  deception,  his  prior  source  of  information 
in  that  respect  having  been  deemed  trustworthy. 


ward  their  names,  together  with  the  breed  of  animi  Is 
owned,  to  Mr.  Jos.  A.  Graham  and  Mr.  Harry  B. 
Hawes,  in  care  of  tbe  Missouri  Athletic  Club,  St. 
Louis. 

A  meeting  will  be  called  later  of  those  from  whom 
responses  are  received,  and  permanent  organization 
effected. 

St.  Louis  is  the  home  of  many  fanciers  and  the 
abiding  place  of  many  owners  of  high-bred  dogs.  An 
organization  of  the  character  contemplated  would  be 
not  only  interesting  but  of  much  benefit.  The  organ- 
ization of  such  a  kennel  club  would,  of  course, 
ultimately  result  in  an  annual  dog  show,  and  under 
the  management  of  the  gentlemen  named  could  not  be 
otherwise  than  highly  successful.  Tbat  the  move- 
rr  ent  will  meet  hearty  response  from  owners  and 
fanciers  is  without  question. 


A     GREAT     COLLIE     KENNELS. 

Glen  Tana  Talent,  the  Philadelphia  winner  in  pup- 
pies, arrived  in  Spokane  on  the  5th  inst.  in  good 
shape.  She  is  certainly  a  fine  Collie;  nice,  long  head, 
small  ears,  excellent  coat,  and  she  is  very  large  for 
her  a, 'e.  She  looks  a  great  deal  like  Ch.  Bo  Peep,  a 
winner  at  San  Jose,  etc.  Her  sire  is  Glen  Tana 
BouLder  (by  Ch.  Parbold  Piccolo),  dam  Glen  Tana 
Laura  Lea,  a  winner  herself  and  the  dam  also  of 
Balmoral  Duchess. 

Glen  Tana  Collie  Kennels  shipped  two  Collie  pup- 
pies to  Wyoming  purchasers  last  week. 

Mr.  Griffith  should  have  a  fine  lot  of  high-bred  Col- 
lies for  sale  this  spring;  in  fact,  we  doubt  if  there  will 
be  a  better  lot  of  Collies  to  be  found  west  of  the  Mis* 
sissippi  than  are  now  in  the  Spokane  kennels. 

Glen  Tana  Marquis  has  recently  served  Glen  Tana 
Roma,  Glen  Tana  Scylla,  Glen  Tana  Mina  and  Glen 
Tana  Moreton  Vesta  (the  dam  of  10  winners).  Ch. 
Leozie  Prince  (winner  of  47  firsts)  has  been  mated  to 
Rippowan  Chance  and  Brandane  Marionslea,  a  sweet 
bitch,  winner  at  tbe  December  show  in  this  city,  1903. 
Laura  Lea,  Glengairn  Lassie  and  Bonnie  were  served 
by  Rippowam's  Aicher.  The  outlook,  therefore,  for 
some  grand  young  Collies  is  a  most  promising  one. 

Besides  the  above  Coast  breedingsGlen  Tana  Talent 
vas  served  by  the  Philadelphia  winner,  Craigmore 
Cracksman — the  latter  dog  has  also  been  purchased 
by  Mr.  Griffith. 

To  fanciers  interested  in  Collies  we  call  attention  to 
the  Glen  Tana  announcement  in  the  classified  "ads" 
on  page  15. 

NEW    SPECIALTY    CLUB    ORGANIZED. 

The  Dalmatian  Club  of  America  has  been  formed, 
with  the  following  gentlemen  as  officers: 

President,  Alfred  B.  Maclay;  vice-president,  H.  T. 
Peters;  secretary-treasurer,  J.  S.  Price,  Jr.  Special 
prizes  in  cash  or  plate  have  been  offered  at  the  New 
York  and  Boston  shows  and  tbe  annual  meeting  will 
be  held  during  the  week  of  the  New  York  show. 

All  fanciers  desirous  of  joining  the  club  will  please 
communicate  with  the  Secretary,  J.  S.  Price,  Jr., 
Chestnut  Hill,  Pa.       

JUDGES  FOR  THE  BOSTON  SHOW. 

The  bench  show  committee  of  the  New  England 
Kennel  Club  have  not  as  yet  been  able  to  decide  upon 
their  entire  list  of  judges,  but  Secretary  Gero  fur- 
furnisnes  the  following  as  the  list  up  to  date,  with  a 
complete  assignment  next  week  says  Field  and  Fancy: 

Mr.  Joseph  M.  Dale,  Brooklyn,  Boston  Terriers. 

Mr.  Marsh  Byers,  Grand  Rapids,  Mich.,  Pointers 
and  Setters. 

Mr.  Tyler  Morse,  English  Bulldogs. 

Miss  Whitney,  same  breeds  as  last  year  with  the 
exception  of  Great  Danes,  which  will  probably  go  to 
Mr.  Mortimer 

Mr.  Mortimer  and  Mr.  Lacy  will  judge  various 
breeds  as  last  year. 

AND     THE     MAN     SAID: 

That  the  Spring  show  in  this  city  will  probably  be 
held  in  May.  

That  the  Portland  Kennel  Club  has  withdrawn 
from  the  W.  K.  L.  and  filed  application  for  A.  K.  C. 
membership.  

That  the  sidetracking  of  the  Pacific  Collie  and  Old 
English  Sheep  Dog  Club's  application  to  obtain  a 
transfer  from  the  Arctic  zone  to  the  warmer  A.  K.  C. 
latitudes  was — because  the  club  name  was  too  cumber- 
some and  might  take  up  too  much  valuable  time  when 
necessary  to  mention  the  organization  during  "Red 
Parlor"  meetings. 

That  the  A.  K.  C.  Coast  circuit  this  year  will  be 
the  "best  ever."  

That  the  career  of  the  Billy  Bounce  of  local  dogdom 
aptly  illustrates  a  vulgar  truism — "One  cannot  make 
a  silk  purse  out  of  a  hog's  ear.'" 

A.  liar  and  dishonest  ingrate  will  naturally  refute  the 
exposure  of  his  inherent  scalawag  proclivities  by  tbe 
eructation  of  defensive  scurrility,  voided,  like  a  foul 
discharge  of  the  cuttlefish,  for  the  purpose  of  refuge 
from  obbervation  in  the  slimy  emanations  of  self 
nastiness.  

That  Billy  Bounce  never  sold  a  Cocker  Spaniel  that 
was  left  in  his  charge — and  when  the  owner  called  for

That  the  "situation"  in  this  State,  and  up  to  the 
border,  seems  to  be  well  in  the  hands  of  the  A.  K.  C. 
campaign  leaders.  A  rift  in  the  clouds  is  promising 
for  general  sunshine,  from  which  the  fancy  will 
absorb  warmth — for  how  long? 


A    KENNEL    CLUB    FOR    ST.    LOUIS. 

A  call  has  been  issued,  signed  by  Russell  E.Gardner, 
calling  attention  of  St.  Louis  dog  fanciers  to  the 
importance  of  establishing  a  permanent  kennel  club  in 
that  city  and  requesting  all  those   interested    to  for- 


That  Billy  rJounce  is  an  enthusiastic  "Icut"  for  dcg

of  the  virtues  of  a  certain  brand  was  by  following  the 
good  old  maxim  "that  everything  is  common  i 
that    is   not   nailed   down,"   or    securely    locked

manufacturer  and  custodian  of  the  property  was,  it  is 
said,  in  debt  to  the  owner  of  the  premises  and  did  not 
have  the  disposition  or  custody  of  his  goods  and 
chattels  Billy  "was  on"  to  the  situation  and  looted 
tte  medicine  chest-by  proxy.  He  had  a  good  start 
and  has  stayed  with  the  game,  he  "got  in  on  the 
ground  floor,"  as  it  were. 

That  the  practices  of  Billy  Bounce  have  been  ex- 
emplars of  systematic  and  persistent  rascality—in 
dogdom  and  out  of  it,  and  will  be  the  subject  of  a 
series  of  exposures  that  will  properly  pace  Mr 
Bounce  in  his  class— one  beyond  the  recognition  of 
the  respectable  element  in  dogdom. 

That  the  Westminster  Kennel  Club  have  put  up  in 
regular  prize  money  the  tidy  sum  of  $10,315  to  be 
distributed  among  many  classes  at  the  show  next 
month— and  this  is  going  some  for  a  bench  show.

Pacific  Coast  Field  Trials. 


The  twenty-second  annual  field  trials  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Field  Trials  Club  began  near  Bakersfield,  Kern 
county,  last  Monday  morning  with  the  Derby. 
Weather  and  other  conditions  have  been  very  favor- 
able for  the  sport.  The  quality  of  the  young  dogs 
has  been  high  class  almost  throughout.  Out  of 
originally  thirty-nine  nom'nations,  twenty-nine  second 
forfeits  were  paid  and  of  these  eatries  there  were 
seventeen  starters  in  the  puppy  stake. 

The  Derby  was  finished  on  Wednesday,  the  winners 
as  selected  by  Judge  H.  L.  Betten  were:  First,  Jos. 
K.  Terry's  orange  and  white  bitch  Ladylike  (Orion- 
Terry's  Lady),  whelped  July  25,  1903.  She  was  bred 
by  Mr.  Terry  and  handled  by  W.  B.  Coutts.  Second 
place,  W.  W  Van  Arsdale's  white,  black  and  tan 
bitch  Mariposa  (Detroit  Joe-Countess  Mark),  whelped 
March,  1903,  California  Kennels  breeder,  C.  H.  Bab- 
cock  handler.  Third  place  was  equally  divided  be- 
tween a  Pointer  and  a  Setter— S.  Christensen's  white, 
black  and  tan  Setter  bitch  Del  Rey  Belle  (California 
Bell  Boy-Countess  Mark),  whelped  October  21,  1903.

attendance  of  club  members  and  visiting  sports- 
men has  been  good  and  of  a  character  and  style  de- 
sirable at  field  trials.  Judge,  handlers,  dog's  and 
birds,  all  had  a  chance  for  the  free  and  unimpeded 
attention  to  the  business  that  made  the  meeting  most 
enjoyable.

Bob  Whites  Introduced  in   Sacramento  County. 

A  daily  press  dispatch  notes  that  Sacramento  county 
is  to  be  thoroughly  stocked  with  bob  white  (Eastern) 
quail,  and  the  first  installment  of  the  piping  little 
game  birds,  "consisting  of  twelve  dozen,  are  already 
in  the  possession  of  Game  Warden  Neale,  and  will  be 
turned  at  liberty  at  the  close  of  the  open  season  on  the 
Rancho  del  Paso,  where  for  the  next  two  years  these 
quail  will  not  be  allowed  to  be  shot  in  order  that  they 
may  have  every  chance  to  propagate  if  they  can  be  ac- 
climated. Other  shipments  are  expeeted-shortly,  and 
will  be  placed  in  other  portions  of  the  county,  where 
they  will  receive  like  protection.  It  is  expected  that 
the  new  arrivals  willbreed  and  spread  all  over  the 
county.  A  large  quantity  of  California  quail  from 
the  southern  portion  of  the  State,  where  they  are  said 
to  be  so  plentiful  as  to  be  a  nuisance,  are  also  to  be 
shipped  into  Sacramento  county  for  distribution." 

The  introduction  of  the  bob  whites  is  not  a  new  ex- 
perience with  sportsmen  of  thiB  State  who  were 
actuated  by  the  laudable  desire  of  propagating  and 
increasing  the  varieties  of  game  birds.  Prior  experi- 
ments on  this  line  in  this  State  have  usually,  we 
regret  to  relate,  been  failures  for  various  reasons. 
The  newcomers  are  essentially  a  ground  bird  and 
were  liberated  in  a  country  that  was  apparently  ideal 
for  the  Eastern  bird — cover,  water,  feeding  ground 
and  climate  all  that  might  be  expected,  but  the6e 
conditions  were  also  extremely  favorable  to  several 
varieties  of  ground  vermin;  red  foxes,  weasels,  skunks, 
minks  and  riccoons,  and  these  marauding  animals 
gave  poor  bob  white  a  welcome  that  had  a  tragic 
finale.  In  most  of  the  Eastern  habitats  of  these  par- 
tridges, the  country  is  far  more  thickly  settled  than 
the  localities  selected  for  the  birds  in  this  State,  and 
their  field  enemies  are  not  so  proportionately  numer- 
ous. Another  phase  of  life  for  the  immigrant  is  the 
combativeness  of  the  native  bird.  The  hoodlum  of 
the  valley  is  a  pugnacious  feathered  gladiator  and 
will  give  bob  whi  e  a  lively  hustling  in  the  feeding 
places  and  at  the  drinking  rendezvous. 

We  believe,  some  years  ago,  a  number  of  the  brown 
flecked  Easterners  were  liberated  in  the  vicinity  of 
Woodland  they  prospered  in  that  section,  for  climatic, 
cover  and  feeding  environment  was  favorable,  but  the 
birds  gradually  disappeared.  An  attempt  was  made 
to  introduce  the  birds  in  the  Contra  Co3ta  foothills,  a 
number  were  liberated  at  Verona  station,  through 
the  efforts,  if  we  are  not  mistaken,  of  a  well  know.n 
sportsman,  Mr.  John  E.  de  Ruyter.  Bob  white  got 
along  famously  for  awhile  and  was  a  welcome  and 
appreciated  member  of  the  feathered  wildwood 
dwellers  of  that  locality.  The  little  feliows  increased 
enough  to  attract  the  attention  of  market  hunters 
and  then  it  was  all  off  with  the  new  settler.  We  re- 
member calling  the  attention  of  our  sportsmen  readers 
to  the  fact  that  bunches  of  bob  whites  were  on  sale 
some  five  years  ago,  or  more,  in  the  market  stalls  of 
this  city.  At  that  time  ranchers  and  their  employees, 
foreigners  they  were,  in  that  district  found  a  shame- 
fully pettifogging  profit  in  ground  sluicing  quail,  of 
the  native  and  Eastern  variety,  and  sendiDg  them  to 
market. 

The  Rancho  del  Paso  grounds  are  as  good  a  terri- 
tory, possibly,  as  can  be  found  on  which  to  liberate 
bob  white  quail  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  project, 
as  contemplated,  will  meet  with  encouraging  success. 

The  transfer  of  native  quail  from  a  southern  section 
to  the  ranch  district  is  a  very  wise  move  in  re-stock- 
ing. The  statement  that  the  birds  are  so  numerous 
as  to  be  a  nuisance  down  south  is  to  be  taken  with 
some  degree  of  contra  reflection,  for  upon  investiga- 
tion this  charge,  made  against  a  bird  that  has  de- 
cidedly economic  value  to  vinyardist  and  husband- 
man, will  be  easily  disproved. 

The  value  of  the  California  valley  quail,  so  called, 
as  a  game  bird,  is  of  secondary  consideration  to  the 
moBt  remunerative  board  bill  he  pays  in  destroying 
insects  in  the  vineyards  and  fields.

Oregon  Sportsmen  Meet  and  Discuss  Game  Laws. 

The  recent  annual  meeting  in  Portland  of  the  Fish 
and  Game  Protective  Association  develops  the  fact 
that  there  is,  apparently,  a  feeling  in  favor  of  extreme 
protection  is  rife  among  the  shotgun  fraternity  and 
brethern  of  the  angle.  The  following  extract,  taken 
from  an  exchange,  explains  the  situation  up  north  as 
gone  over  at  the  meeting  for  those  present  decided 
upoD  what  laws  they  wished  to  be  passed  by  the 
coming  session  of  the  Legislature.  They  elected 
officers  and  intend  to  hold  a  big  barbecue  at  the  time 
of  the  week's  shoot  to  be  held  by  the  trapshooters 
next  June.  There  will  then  be  present  many  sports- 
men from  all  over  the  Btate,  and  the  occasion  will  be 
fitting  for  a  sportsmen's  jollification. 

The  loading  discussion  of  the  evening  was  concern- 
ing the  Chinese  pheasant  and  duck  situation,  and  the 


consensus  of  the  meeting  was  that  the  salvation  of 
game  iu  Oregon  is  in  an  entirely  closed  season.  That 
means  no  market  whatever,  not  even  for  duckB. 

This  was  objected  to  immediately,  and  at  the  time 
overruled,  but  later  in  the  evening  the  minority  had 
their  say.  No  one  seemed  to  care  about  selling 
Chinese  pheasants,  and  it  was  readily  agreed  that 
these  birds  could  only  be  preserved  by  prohibiting 
their  sale.  But  ducks  are  another  matter.  Men  like 
Colonel  Dunne  and  Will  Lipman,  of  Portland,  who 
are  known  not  to  sell  their  ducks,  urged  that  it  be 
allowed.  Their  argument  was  that  the  maintenance 
of  big  feeding  establishments  down  the  Willamette 
river  was  the  only  way  to  bring  ducks  in,  and  that  the 
most  of  these  establishments  were  maintained  by  sell- 
ing the  ducks.  They  also  argued  ihat  the  public 
ought  to  have  an  opportunity  to  buy  ducks.  But  the 
meeting  had  already  voted  that  all  game,  including 
ducks,  should  not  be  sold. 

The  other  leading  piece  of  suggested  legislation  is 
the  enacting  of  a  hunter's  license  of  $1  to  all  comers, 
the  funds  raised,  expected  to  be  $15,000  or  $20,000 
yearly,  to  be  used  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Game 
Wardens. 

Other  resolutions  were  the  supporting  of  the  trout 
hatchery  on  the  Coos  river,  the  placing  of  bounties 
on  wolves,  cougars  and  wildcats  which  destroy  the 
deer,  and  crows,  which  eat  the  pheasant  eggs;  the 
shortening  of  the  duck  season  to  February  1  to  do 
away  with  the  disastrous  spring  shooting,  and  the 
change  in  the  bass  law,  making  the  open  season  from 
March  1  to  November  1.  It  was  agreed  that  it  would 
be  a  crime  for  small  mouthed  bsss  ever  to  be  intro- 
duced into  Oregon  waters.  Dr.  Ney  Churchman  said 
he  considered  all  bass  the  prizefighters  af  the  fiBh 
world,  and  did  not  need  protection  of  any  kind. 

Eastern  Oregon's  special  laws  were  left  for  that 
section  of  the  country  to  deal  with  itself.  There  was 
suggested  a  change  in  the  duck  law,  prohibiting 
shooting  of  birds  while  on  the  resting  grounds,  but  as. 
it  was  found  that  matter  had  been  suggested  for  per-- 
sonal  reasons,  it  was  laid  on  the  table. 

The  new  officers  of  the  Fish  and  Game  Association 
are:  President,  H.  B.  Tronson;   vice-president,  Thos 
Ayer,   of    Pendleton;    secretary,    A.     E.    Gebhardt;; 
treasurer,  John  Cran.

Change  of  Business  Location. 

The  growing  demands  of  an  increasing  business; 
have  necessitated  a  change  of  quarters  for  the  Cali-

pany's headquarters  In  this  city  are  now  located  in 
commodious  offices  on  the  fourth  floor  of  the  Wells-

the  new  U.  M.  C,  .33  primer  and  the  new  U.  M.  C, 
short  range  shells. 

The  penetration  of  U.  M.  C.  short  range  shells  at. 
25  yards  is  practically  the  same  as  regular  loads  at  40" 
yards,  with  decidedly  less  recoil.  Thus  U.  M.  C; 
short  range  shells  strike  with  a  killing  force,  throw- 
ing a  40  yard  penetration.  These  facts  are  registered, 
by  the  ballistic  testing  apparatus  of  the  factory  andi 
are  confirmed  by  the  large  and  increasing  demand  foe- 

the  new  shell.

Safety  Tests. 

During  the  last  year,  more  or  less  attention  has= 
been  given  to  the  question  of  the  danger  attending 
the  handling,  shipping,  and  storing  of  ammunition;, 
the  agitation  being  caused  by  an  investigation  of  the 
subject  made  by  the  officials  of  the  Chicago  fire- 
department  and  by  the  discussion  of  Senate  Bill  No.. 
4319,  introduced  in  the  U.  S.  Senate  Feb.  14,  1904,  by 
Senator  Elkins.  Shortly  after  the  burning  of  the 
Iroquois  Theater,  the  officials  of  the  fire  department 
began  an  investigation  of  the  storing  of  chemicals, 
explosives,  and  combustibles  of  all  kinds  in  the  city. 
During  the  progress  of  this  investigation,  it  was 
claimed  that  in  case  of  fire  in  a  building  in  which 
ammunition  ^as  stored,  the  ability  of  the  firemen  to 
cope  with  the  fire  would  be  seriously  lessened  by  the 
fear  of  injury  from  exploding  cartridges,  which  would 
keep  them  at  a  distance  from  the  burning  building. 
To  demonstrate  the  fallacy  of  this  belief,  the  leading 
ammunition  makers  of  the  country  made  a  test  in 
Chicago  which  was  witnessed  by  the  officials  of  the 
fire  department,  fire  insurance  underwriters,  and 
others.  A  large  quantity  of  metallic  cartridges  and 
shotgun  shells  was  burned  in  a  fireof  oil-soaked  wood. 
The  cartridges  and  shells  exploded  from  time  to  time, 
but  there  was  no  general  explosion  or  throwing  of 
bullets  or  shot  any  distance.  Throughout  the  test, 
the  experts  conducting  it  remained  within  about 
twenty  feet  of  the  fire  without  being  injured  in  any 
way.  The  test  proved  conclusively  that  cartridges  or 
shotgun  shells  when  subjected  to  fire  will  not  explode 
simultaneously,  but  piece  by  piece,  and  that  the 
materials  of  which  the  cartridges  and  shells  are  com- 
posed will  not  fly  over  a  few  feet. 

In  this  connection  the  Winchester  Repeating  Arms 
Company  have  compiled  some  interesting  statistics, 
gathered  at  numerous  points,  and  have  published  the 
same  with  profuse  illustrations,  in  a  pamphlet  that 
should  be  read  by  every  sportsman.  The  publication 
can  be  secured  upon  request  by  addressing  the  com- 
pany at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  or  the  Coast  Agency 
125-137  First  St.,  San  Francisco.

THE   FARM. 


About  Polled  Durhams. 


About  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  Eev- 
eral  men  in  different  localities  started  to 
breed  up  to  a  definite  standard  a  new 
breed  of  cattle,  with  the  object  of  produc- 
ing a  breed  resembling  in  tvpe  and  range 
of  adaptability — the  time  honored  Short- 
horns, but  to  be  minus  their  horns, 
writes  Win.  A.  Martin  in  Breeders'  Ga- 
zette. These  breeders  thought  their  en- 
terprise justified  by  the  eyer  increasing 
demand  on  the  part  of  cattlemen  in  gen- 
eral and  feeders  in  particular  for  polled 
or  dehorned  cattle. 

A  striking  evidence  of  this  demand  for 
hornless  cattle  is  the  phenomenal  distri- 
bution of  the  Angus  breed,  the  first  of 
which  were  imported  as  late  as  1873.  Soon 
after,  during  the  eighties,  the  practice  of 
dehorning  was  started,  and  in  spite  of 
prosecution  and  adverse  court  verdicts 
the  saw  and  clipper  continued  their  work. 
The  people  decided  that  horns  on  cattle 
were  not  only  useless,  but  a  direct  source 
of  loss,  through  the  many  dead  and  dis- 
abled animals.  The  third  and  most  po- 
tent argument  for  hornless  cattle  is  that 
they  not  only  Ehip  better,  feed  better  but 
also  sell  from  10  to  50  cents  better. 

A  good  sign  that  there  was  room  for 
another  breed  is  the  strong  demand  that 
has  always  existed  of  good  Polled  Durham 
bulls.  The  chief  cause  for  this  demand 
was  that  a  large  number  of  Shorthorn 
breeders,  tiring  of  the  horns,  tried  a 
Polled  Durham  as  a  dehorning  machine. 
In  this  capacity  they  have  been  a  great 
Buccess.  A  potent  reason  for  the  foster- 
ing and  development  of  the  Polled  Dur- 
ham is  found  in  the  fact  that  there  are 
many  people  who,  to  quote  one  writer, 
"believed  the  Shorthorn  ox  to  be  the 
grandest  Deast  that  walks  the  earth,  but 
that  even  he  would  be  improved  if  minus 
the  horns."  The  question  that  naturally 
presents  itBelf  is:  Whence  came  these 
cittle?  Who  were  their  ancestors?  What 
breed  of  cattle  laid  a  foundation  so  wide 
and  deep  that  these  newcomers  could  eo 
quickly  and  securely  establish  them- 
selves? We  find  that  the  Polled  Dur- 
hams have  been  developed  after  two 
general  lines— the  single  and  the  double 
standard. 

The  single  standard  branch  was  started 
first.  Several  breeders,  each  ignorant  of 
the  work  of  the  others,  Btarted  by  select- 
ing good  native  muley  cows  and  breeding 
them  to  Shorthorn  bulls.  The  female 
progeny,  if  hornless,  was  bred  to  another 
Shorthorn.  If  a  hornlets  bull  was  se- 
cured he  was  crossed  upon  Shorthorn 
cows.    This  up-grading  was    very    Blow,

tedious  and  full  of  disappointments,  yet  a 
few  persevered.  In  1889  eight  of  these 
men  held  a  meeting  in  Chicago,  and  the 
following  year  saw  the  incorporation  of 
the  American  Polled  Durham  Breeders' 
Aasoeiation.  By  1893  members  of  the  as- 
sociation had  attained  such  a  preponder- 
ance of  Shorthorn  blood  in  their  cattle 
that  it  was  made  a  requirement  for  regis- 
tration after  1S99,  that  each  animal  have 
at  least  96|  per  cent  Shorthorn  blood  and 
have  all  the  characteristic  Shorthorn 
markings  but  no  horns.  Although  these 
single  standard  cattle  were  a  good,  useful 
lot.  Shorthorn  men  yersisted  in  calling 
them  grades. 

The  double  Btandard  branch  or  what 
,  to-day  constitutes  the  major  part  of  the 
show  herds  and  breeding  cattle  has  had 
the  following  hiBtory:  They  originated 
in  the  spring  of  1888,  when  Capt.  Miller, 
Elmore,  O.,  purchased  from  the  McNair 
estate  of  Minneapolis  the  natural  polled 
Shorthorn  bull  King  of  Kine,  with  more 
Polled  Durhams  as  the  result.  Mr.  J.  H. 
Miller's  famous  show  bull,  Young  Hamil- 
ton, waB  also  a  natural  polled  animal,  be- 
ing a  White  Rose,  bred  in  Southern 
Ohio.  Thus  the  double  standard  Polled 
Durhams  are  in  reality  a  part  of  the 
Shorthorn  breed  and  are  eligible  to  record 
in  the  American  Shorthorn  Herd  Book. 

Surprising  as  has  been  the  rapid  growth 
and  development  of  the  Polled  Durhams, 
yet  if  one  considers  the  quality  of  those 
few  foundation  animals  it  is  not  hard  to 
understand.  The  breeders  had  royally 
bred  animals  to  start  with.  Nellie  and 
Mollie  Gwynne  had  for  their  sire  a  bull  i  f 
such  superior  breeding  and  individuality 
as  the  7th  Duke  of  Hillhurst  bulls,  a  pure 
Ducheas  closely  relat.  d  to  the  8th  Duch- 


ess of  Geneva  that  topped   the  New  York 
Mills  sale  in  1873  at  $40,600. 

Polled  Durhams  have  always  had  plenty 
of  scale  but  somewhat  lacked  quality  and 
refinement.  Realizing  this,  breeders  in- 
troduced into  their  herds  blood  of  such 
good  old  families  as  the  Young  Mary, 
Gwynne,  Kirklevington  and  numerous 
others,  of  late  years  perhaps  more  from 
such  families  as  the  Missie,  Broadhooks, 
Orange  Blossom  and  the  like.  Several 
breeders  have  used  Shorthorn  bulls  of 
the  low-down,  blocky,  beefy  type  upon 
their  polled  cows  and  thus  attained  the 
much  needed  quality  and  refinement. 
The  breed  is  yet  only  in  its  infancy.  The 
pioneers  in  its  development  are  still  with 
us  and  surely  appreciate  the  commend- 
ing words  of  Col.  FerguEon  at  the  late  In- 
ternational. The  future  of  the  Polled 
Durham,  however,  lies  not  so  much  with 
the  old  guard  as  with  the  young  breeders 
of  the  country.  Upon  tLeir  persever- 
ance, ability  and  devotion  depends  the 
ultimate  success  of  the  breed.

Best  AU  Purpose  Fowl. 

rBeaa  by  C,  W.  Stidger  belore  the  Denver  Poultry 
Club]. 

Perhaps  more  has  been  written  and  less 
accomplished  in  the  discussion  of  the 
question  of  which  is  the  best  all  purpose 
fowl  than  any  other  subject  m  poultry 
literature. 

Biddy  herself  deserves  all  the  good 
things  that  can  be  written  or  said  about 
her,  for  she  fills  her  place  in  this  world  in 
Buch  a  substantial  and  admirable  manner 
that  there  are  none  who  would  not  do  her 
honor.  TVith  any  reasonable  care  she 
never  goes  on  strike ;  works  from  before 
sunrise  until  darkness  drives  her  to  the 
roost,  rustling  and  restless,  singing  and 
cheerful,  a  fitting  example  for  those  that 
imagine  themselves  wise.  But  why  a  buS 
biddy  is  better  than  a  black  one  or  a 
white  biddy  excels  a  speckled  one,  is 
such  an  exceedingly  fine  point  that  great 
philosophers  and  the  most  discerning  and 
scrutinizing  intellects  have  exhausted 
their  vast  resources  and  vocabulary  and 
accomplished  —  what— except  confusion  ? 

While  comparisons  are  said  to  be  odious 
it  is  impossible  to  avoid  it  at  this  time. 

Let  us  bunch  the  Asiatics  and  include 
Orpington  and  to  compare  any  of  them 
with  Minorcas  in  egg:  production  would 
be  the  -very  height  of  folly  and  afford 
substantial  grounds  for  lunacy  proceed- 
ings. "We  take  it  for  granted  that  in  this 
there  a  e  none  bo  foolish  as  to  dispute  us. 
For  every  new  variety  introduced  it  is  the 
first  claim  made  that  they  are  abnormal 
and  terrible  egg  producers,  unparalleled, 
unprecedented  and  unapproachable.  Even 
the  big  clumsy  OrpingtonB  laid  claim  to 
superior  egg  production,  entirely,  we 
might  say,  without  reason  or  argument 
or  facts  to  Bustain  it.  It  is  a  standing 
joke  among  the  more  experienced  fanciers, 
and  many  are  generous  enough  to  allow 
promoters  of  new  varieties  a  Bhort  de- 
lusive, visionary  spell  to  give  them  a 
chance  to  introduce  their  breed  to  the 
public.  With  the  possible  exception  of 
the  Langshan,  the  above  varieties  scarce- 
ly lay  any  eggs  at  all,  and  stop  altogether 
in  warm  weather.  Quality  of  meat  is  a 
matter  of  taste,  some  preferring  the 
greasy,  oily,  coarse,  stringy  meat 
of  the  Brahmaa,  Cochins,  Orpingtons, 
etc.,  while  otherB  prefer  the  fine-textured, 
gamey  meat  of  the  Minorcas  and  Houdans. 
To  be  English,  ye  know,  you  must  like 
the  Minorca;  to  be  French  the  Houdan, 
and  in  all  other  things  we  ape  them,  and 
why  is  not  their  judgment  good  in  the 
quality  of  meat  of  their  favorite  fowls? 
As  to  quality  of  dressed  meat  per  gross 
weight,  the  Minorcas  greatly  excel,  and 
for  quality  of  breast  meat  the  long-bodied 
Minorcas  can  wipe  up  the  earth  with  all 
competitors. 

AU  will  agree  that  as  a  meat  proposi- 
tion the  Mediterraneans  are  blooming 
failures.  They  are  just  out,  of  the  pigeon 
class,  and  scarcely  get  under  the  wire  as 
a  poultry  proposition.  For  a  family  of 
two  a  large  one  might  suffice;  three  to 
five  would  be  enough  for  an  ordinary 
family,  and  a  dozen  would  be  necessary  if 
the  Methodist  preacher  should  visit  you. 
They  will  lay  about  as  many  eggs  as  a 
Minorca  (but  no  more),  and  about  one- 
half  the  size.  As  they  go  sailing  through 
the  air  like  Homer  pigeons  they  are  a 
beautiful  sight,  even  if  the  garden  does 
get  the  worst  of  it.  The  fence  that  will 
confine  them  securely,  the  genius  of  man 
has  not  invented.  As  eggs  sell  by  the 
dozen  yet  the  owners  of  the  Mediter- 
raneans can  impose  on  a  suffering  public 
that  an  egg  is  an  egg,  and  as  this  seems  to 
be  true,  and  there  is  no  way  of  disproving 
it,  what  is  there  to  do  but  to  continue  to 
buy  them  on  that  supposition  ? 

The  American  class  is  a  happy  medium 
between  Asiatics    and    Mediterraneans. 
As  ei  g  producers  'hey  do  not  compare  to 
the  f  mailer  ones,  and  as  meat  producers 
do  not  produce  the  quantity  that  the 
:r  ones  do.    This  is  true,  and  stands 
ason,  assertions  to  the  contrary  not- 
standing.     The  non-setters  are  the 
egg  producers  of    the  world ;    the 


setters  the  meat  producers.  The  quality 
of  the  meat  is  not  quite  so  coarse  and 
oily  as  the  Asiatics  but  partakes  largely 
of  the  flavor.  As  egg  producers  they  lay 
neither  the  quantity  nor  6ize  as  the 
Minorca.  This  is  true,  and  assertions 
count  for  nothing  before  the  fact. 

As  to  quality  of  meat,  amount  of  breaft 
meat,  egg  production  and  the  most  good 
qualities  as  all  purpose  fowls,  the  Minorca 
and  Houdan  stand  in  a  class  by  them- 
selves, indorsed  by  two  great  nations, 
England  and  France,  as  tbeir  prime 
favorites.  These  nations  are  the  farthest 
advanced  in  cooking,  and  their  judgment 
is  about  final  in  any  thing  they  advocate. 
Tbey  reach  conclusions  after  the  most 
mature  investigation. 

Concluding,  we  will  Bay  that  for  ege 
production,  gentleness  of  disposition, 
rustling  qualities,  beauty,  healthfulness, 
meat  production  and  other  desirable 
traits,  the  great  Minorca  iB  all  that  is  de- 
sirable, and  stand  in  a  class  by  them- 
selves like  the  great  Jeffries,  and  challenge 
any  three  competitors  combined  to  pro- 
duce aB  many  good  qualities  to  enhance 
them  in  public  favor.  We  say,  all  hail  to 
the  great  Black  Minorca,  the  unrivaled 
best  all  purpose  fowl  of  today. 


Close  Breeding  in  Sheep. 


For  some  reason,  which  is  difficult  to 
explain  unless  by  the  popular  impression 
to  this  effect,  it  is  supposed  that  to  breed 
together  closely-related  animals  is  not 
only  injudicious  from  a  practical  point  of 
view,  but  is  destructive,  and  in  some 
sense  immoral.  Both  these  impressions, 
when  well  and  practically  considered,  are 
easily  perceived  to  be  wholly  baseless. 
On  the  solely  moral  aspect  it  is  worse  than 
this,  indeed  inclining  to  actual  super- 
stition. We  are  most  safely  guided  in  this 
respect  by  experience,  and  this  goes 
wholly  against  the  popular  impression 
and  in  favor  of  the  practical  deduction 
from  common  sense,  that  two  parents 
unaffected  by  any  other  disqualification, 
whose  qualifications  otherwise  are  satis- 
factory, may  be  bred  together  with  the 
best  reBults,  transmitting  to  the  progeny 
the  good  qualities  of  each,  and  thus 
improving  their  practical  value. 

If  the  shepherd  sees  fit  to  teBt  this, 
there  is  no  reason  to  fear  any  constitu- 
tional degradation  of  the  progeny  of  any 
Buch  close  breeding.  In  fact,  our  beBt 
breeds  of  sheep  are  all  the  offspring  of  not 
only  close  but  very  close  breeding,  and 
none  of  us  so  far  have  found  any  reason 
to  cast  slurs  on  the  proceBB  chosen  for  the 
improvement  of  their  flocks  in  this  way. 
We  have  the  experience  of  nature  all  in 
our  favor  in  this  respect,  and  it  is  wholly 
in  this  that  the  law  laid  down  by  one  of 
the  most  successful  of  breeders  and  by 
science  aB  well,  and  an  apparently  un- 
impeachable one,  that  the  "fittest  alwayB 
survive" — that  is,  the  strongest  and  best 
adapted  to  meet  all  the  hardships  and 
accidents  of  their  environments  succeed 
in  living  under  the  best  conditions  and 
best  transmit  their  conditions  to  their 
successors,  and  so  keep  the  race  improv- 
ing and  prospering.  Necessarily,  this  is 
the  rule  in  the  existence  of  the  wild 
animals,  and  we  see  no  better  example  of 
its  propriety.  It  is  safe  to  follow  nature. 
She  has  survived  all  the  hardships  and 
accidents  of  paBt  ages,  and  all  the  time 
has  been  prospering;  and  the  rule,  in  all 
natural  conditions,  has  been  constantly 
violating  the  popular  idea  that  close 
inbreeding  tendB  to  weaken  the  constitu- 
tion of  animals  and  is  destructive  of  their 
natural  vigor. 

What  better  proof  of  this  can  we  have 
than  the  fact  that  in  spite  of  all  kinds  of 
obstacles,  including  those  arising  from 
the  tyranny  of  mankind,  and  their  rest- 
less and  tireless  efforts  to  exterminate 
them,  so  many  wild  sheep  and  deer  and 
goats  still  defy  the  hunters'  fatal  guns? 
All  these  races  are  continued  in  existence 
through  the  unavoidahlu  operation  of 
that  natural  law  that  the  strongest  and 
most  vigorous,  having  the  power  to  do  it, 
perpetuate  themselveB.      Close  relation- 


ship goes  for  nothing  in  this.  The  strong 
males  possess  the  females  without  any 
opposition,  and  thus  the  progeny  gain  all 
the  strength  of  their  able  parents. 

We  should  then  be  content  to  adopt  na- 
ture's successful  methods,  and  as  regards 
the  breeding  of  our  domestic  animals, 
choose  aB  she  does  the  strongest  and  best 
without  regard  to  relationship.  ThiB  was 
the  method  of  the  most  successful 
breeders  by  whom  our  present  breeds  of 
sheep  were  perfected,  and  bo  far,  for  a 
century  past,  we  have  no  cause  for  com- 
plaint in  the  least  as  to  want  of  constitu- 
tion or  any  other  indication  of  weakness 
in  them.  Note  the  thrift  of  the  grand 
Leicesters,  the  masterpiece  of  Mr.  Bake- 
well's  genius  in  this  direction ;  the  modern 
Shropshire,  as  well  as  the  improved  South- 
down, and  grand  Hampshire,  and  otners 
of  our  modern  perfected  sheep.  In  the 
light  of  all  this,  it  seems  almost  aB  though 
the  contrary  were  true,  and  that  in  breed- 
ing sheep  we  should  consider  closeness  of 
blood  an  additional  element  of  value 
rather  than  a  detriment  — Country  Gentle-

A  Valuable  Beef-Builder. 


Cattle  prefer  raBted  wheat  straw.  This 
waB  discovered  in  Australia  some  years 
ago  when  cattle  were  seen  to  neglect  the 
regular  bag  chaff  for  the  paddock  of  rusted 
wheat.  It  has  been  found  by  feeding  tests 
that  the  rust  in  the  wheat  in  no  way  in- 
juriously affects  the  animal  feeding  upon 
it.  The  opposite  effect  has  been  experi- 
enced.   Cattle  prefer  the  straw  itself. 

This  arouEed  the  curiosity  of  science. 
L  at  summer  teBts  were  made  with  this 
straw  in  Canada.  Some  rust  wheat  was 
taken  from  the  farm  of  Sir  William  Van 
Home  at  East  Selkirk,  Manitoba,  and 
analyzed  by  Pro'essor  Snutt  at  the  gov- 
ernment experiment  Btation  The  analy- 
sis showed  the  presence  of  7.69  per  cent 
of  protein  in  the  Btraw  alone.  The  for- 
mer, therefore,  contained  three  times  as 
much  of  this  most  important  food  con- 
stituent as  the  latter. 

Another  remarkable  fact  was  discovered 
in  the  complete  analyses  of  therusted  and 
the  full-grown  wheat  kernel.  The  rusted 
grain  was  shrivelled  and  about  half  the 
weight  of  the  other.  With  the  exception 
of  a  Blight  increase  in  protein  and  some 
of  the  other  constituents  that  predomi- 
nate in  the  bran,  the  composition  of  the 
rusted  grain  differed  but  little  from  the 
other. 

These  factB  are  important  to  the  beef 
breeder,  who  at  all  times  is  in  aearch  of  a 
nutritious,  cheap  roughage.  There  are 
millions  of  pounds  of  this  rusted  wheat 
yearly  in  thia  country.  In  Australia  the 
whole  area  uaed  to  be  burned  off  as  being 
worthless.— Live.  Stock  Review. 


Feeding  Swine  on  Alfalfa. 


We  have  never  made  a  thorough  test  of 
how  many  hogs  could  be  pastured  on  an 
acre  of  land,  but  we  have  experimented 
to  determine  how  much  corn  is  neceasary 
with  alfalfa  pasture  to  carry  hogs  and 
pigs  through  the  summer  Beason.  Our 
experience  in  pasturing  bogs  on  alfalfa 
without  corn  was  unsatisfactory  and  we 
found  that  when  the  hogs  had  plenty  of 
alfalfa  and  from  one  to  one  and  a  half 
pounds  of  corn  each  daily  they  would 
make  a  gain  practically  of  one  pound  per 
a  day.  In  other  words,  they  would  gain 
in  flesh  nearly  as  much  in  a  day  as  the 
corn  fed.  We  also  found  that  the  tota 
number  of  pounds  of  gain  on  a  drove  of 
100  head  of  hogs  that  this  email  ration  of 
corn  did  not  coBt  to  exceed  two  cents  a 
pound  for  the  gain  made  We  found  that 
three  or  four  hogB  to  the  acre,  and  then 
cut  the  alfalfa  three  timeB  juBt  the  same 
as  we  would  had  it  not  been  paetured, 
was  much  more  satisfactory  than  to  run 
ten  or  twelve  head  of  hogs  to  the  acre  and 
not  cut  the  alfalfa.  We  can  safely  run 
thirty  to  fifty  head  of  ho^'S  on  ten  acres 
of  alfalfa,  cut  it  three  timeB  and  hardly 
know  that  the  hogs  were  on  the  alfalfa. 
During  the  past  summer  we  made  a  gain 


of  eight-tenths  of  a  pound  daily  on  hogs 
weighing  an  average  of  100  pounda  each 
by  feeding  only  one  pound  of  ground 
wheat  to  each  hog.  On  thia  paBture  we 
run  only  about  five  head  to  the 
acre  and  cut  the  alfalfa  three  times  and 
•ve  could  not  tell  the  difference  b:tween 
thia  pasture  carrying  five  hoga  to  the  acre 
and  the  adjoining  one  not  pastured  at  all. 
We  have  found  that  it  was  almost  an  im- 
possibility to  get  a  hog  to  eat  enough  al- 
falfa hay  during  the  winter  to  sustain 
life,  but  by  cutting  the  hay  fine  with  a 
feed  cutter  and  mixing  it  with  ground 
cornmeal,  wetting  it  well,  we  can  get 
them  to  eat  from  five  to  six  pounda  of  dry 
alfalfa  a  day  and  in  this  way  we  winter 
them  very  satisfactorily,  securing  steady 
gain  during  the  entire  Beason.  A'falfa,  a 
laxative  food,  keeps  the  system  in  perfect 
order,  and  makes  it  safe  to  feed  a  larger 
quantity  of  corn  than  without  it.  The 
greatest  trouble  in  getting  the  small  pigs 
or  shoats  to  eat  alfalfa  is  that  it  is  too 
coarse  for  them  to  digest,  and  we  were 
not  satisfied  even  with  the  cut  alfalfa. 
Recently  we  have  been  grinding  the  al- 
falfa, mixing  it  with  ground  corn  and 
feeding  it  aB  slop  Not  only  the  small 
pigs  and  shoats,  but  the  old  brood  aow8 
have  done  much  better  than  ever  before 
on  alfalfa  meal  and  ground  corn. — Farm

Sells  Millions  of  Eggs. 

Russia  is  the  largest  seller  of  eggs  in 
the  world.  She  sells  nearly  every  year 
to  other  countries  150,000,000  dozenB  of 
eggs,  and  her  sales  are  now  constantly  on 
the  increase,  showing  that  poultry  raising 
is  also  on  the  increase. 

China  iB  supposed  to  be  the  largest 
producer  of  eggs  in  the  world,  but  China 
keeps  no  egg  statistics,  so  one  can't  tell 
exactly,  but  the  Chinese  are  great  egg 
eaters,  and  with  the  exception  of  a  few 
million  she  lets  the  Japanese  people  have 
she  keeps  the  rest  for  home  use,  and  as 
there  are  over  400,000,000  people  at  home 
it  takes  a  whole  lot  of  eggs.  The  smallest 
farm  home  found  anywhere  in  the  empire 
is  always  supplied  with  a  great  flock  of 
hens.

Mutton  Chops. 


Roots,  when  fed  with  grain,  produce 
choice  mutton.  The  sheep  may  be  herded 
on  the  root  crop  m  the  field,  after  which 
the  crop  can  be  pulled  and  stored  before 
frost. 

The  troughs  for  grain  feeding  Bhould  be 
ten  or  twelve  inches  wide  so  that  the 
sheep  must  eat  Blowly. 

It  is  best  in  feeding  not  to  carry  the  hay 
over  the  sheep's  backs;  it  can  be  dropped 
from  above  to  the  racks,  o  placed  in  the 
racks  from  the  endB  or  alleys. 

Drinking  places  Bbould  be  provided 
which  allow  fresh  water  to  be  kept  before

Always  the  Draft  Gelding. 

[Breeders  Gazette.] 
A  great  many  years  ago  this  journal 
Btated  it  as  its  belief  that  the  drafter  was 
the  most  profitable  norse  the  farmer  could 
breed.  The  enunciation  drew  down  on 
the  devoted  head  of  the  founder  of  the 
Gazette  a  storm  of  protest,  but  time  has 
well  proved  the  soundness  of  that  con- 
tention The  drafter  is  today 'and  has 
always  been  the  best  equine  money  maker 
for  the  farmer.  It  boots  not  to  go  once 
more  into  the  history  of  the  frenzied  effort 
made  by  farmers  to  breed  trotters  once 
Williams  had  shown  up  Astell  and  Aller- 
ton.  History  shows  us  that  there  is  only 
one  Astell  and  only  one  Allerton.  Surely 
these  many  .years  should  have  taught 
the  farmer  that  speed  breeding  is  not  Lis 
game.  The  drafter  is  the  horse  for  the  J 
farm. 

But  since  the  early  days  of  this  journal 
there  has  entered  into  the  draft  horse 
breeding  field  an  element  which  did  not' 
appertain  thereto  at  first.  That  element 
is  the  desire  on  the  part  of  the  wealthy 
horse  using  firms  to  own  the  best.  That 
is  the  element  which  has  done  more  than 
anything  else  to  boost  the  price  of  the 
show  horse  to  the  level  on  which  it  now 
rests  Six  hundred  and  sixty  dollar  geld- 
ings and  thousand  dollar  teams  were  not 
in  evidence  when  the  gospel  of  the  drafter 
was  first  preached  by  the  late  J.  H. 
Sanders.  And  he  builded  better  than  he 
knew,  for  every  farm  owner  who  then 
followed  his  advice  and  since  then  has 
turned  not  to  the  right  nor  to  the  left  but 
haB  steadily  stuck  to  the  draft  breed  of 
his  choice  is  now  on  easy  street,  with 
money  in  the  bank  and  credit  among  his 
fellowmen. 

Today  the  opportunity  of  the  breeder  of 
drafters  is  greater  than  it  ever  was.  For 
every  show  gelding  he  can  produce  there 
are  ten  men  waiting  to  sign  him  a  big 
check.  When  men  can  get  $450  for  three- 
year-old  geldiogs  and  when  it  takes  a  firm 
almost  fabulously  wealthy  a  whole  year 
in  which  to  get  together  a  mere  matter  of 
fifteen  head  of  show  horses,  and  when 
only  a  few  of  these  are  really  heavy 
enough,  the  field  certainly  offers  a  most 
alluring  prospect.  There  will  be  no 
turning  nor  twhting  of  the  market  on 
itB  tracks.  The  show  horse,  the  good 
horse,  will  from  this  on  always  command 
his  price.  Conditions  are  more  stable 
than  tbey  were. 

To  be  sure  we  have  only  a  few  good 
drafters  in  the  country.  If  there  were 
far  more  their  value  would  not  drop. 
Here  is  a  trade  in  which  over-production 
is  not  to  be  feared.  But  where  are  we  to 
find  them?  Some  time  ago  we  suggested 
that  there  was  the  best  sort  of  a  chance 
for  some  one  to  establish  a  business  for 
himself  in  the  pu.veying  of  high  class 
draft  geldingB  to  the  men  who  desire  to 
buy  them.  In  the  old  countries  such  men 
are  rich  with  money  made  from  the  fruits 
of  their  own  endeavor.  In  Scotland  for 
instance  if  a  show  gelding  is  wanted  there 
is  one  man  who  may  be  relied  on  to  fur 
nish  him  if  he  is  to  be  found.  It  costs 
money  to  get  such  a  horse  and  the  profit 
is  reaped  by  the  yoeman  who  had  the 
necessary  grit  and  judgment  to  buy  the 
winner  when  he  was  young.  Never  in 
all  the  history  of  the  horse  using  trade 
was  there  such  a  glorious  chance  for  some 
one  to  make  a  name  for  himself  and 
opulence  as  well  as  there  is  right  here  and 
now  in  this  very  business.  He  would  be 
the  well  paid  go-between  that  must  al- 
ways appear  in  all  high-priced  business. 
It  will  take  a  farm  and  money,  but  these 
are  available  on  every  hand.  They  are 
both  cheap  and  plentiful.  It  only  needs 
the  man  for  the  hour  and  surely  the  hour 
will  produce  him.

several  weeks  ago,  brought  the  cattle

GALL  CURE 

For  GALL  BACKS  and  SHOULDERS,  CRUPPE 
SORES  and  SADDLE  GALLS  there  is  noti 
superior. 

The  horse  CAN  BE  WORKED  AS  USUAL. 

For  BARBED  WIRE  CUTS,  CALKS,  SCRATCH- 
ES, BLOOD  POISONED  SORES  and  ABRASIONS 
OF  THE  SKIN  It  has  no  equal. 

It  is  very  adhesive  and  easily  applied  to  a  watery 
as  well  as  a  dry  sore.  - ■  -i~ 

Its  use  will  absolutely  prevent  BLOOD  POISON 
ING.  In  this  respeot  there  is  no  Gall  Cure  offered 
which  can  justly  even  claim  to  be  a  competitor. 
We  placed  it  on  the  market  relying  wholly  on  its 
merit  for  sucoess.  and  notwithstanding  the  Tact  that 
comparatively  little  has  been  done  in  the  way  of 
advertising  the  sales  of  1900  were  100  per  cent  great- 
er than  the  aggregate  sales  of  Gall  Cure  preoedinp- 
that  year.  This  increase  was  entirely  due  to  ics 
MERITS,  and  from  it  we  feel  justified  in  sayingthat 
It  is  THE  GALL  CURE  OF  THE  30TH  CENTURY. 

It  is  a  quick  and  sure  cure  for  those  troublesome 
skin  oracks  under  the  f e  ->ck  vi  nioh  inj  ure  and  often 
lay  up  race  horses.

TOURISTS  and  TRAVELERS  will,  now,  with  difficulty  recognize  the  famous  COURT 
into  which  for  twenty-n  e  years  carriages  have  driven.  This  space  of  over  a  quarter 
of  an  acre  has  recently,  by  the  addition  of  very  handsome  furniture,  rugs,  chandeliers 
and  tropical  plants,  been  converted  into  a  lounging  room— the  FINEST  IN  THE 
WORLD. 

The  EMPIRE  PARLOR— the  PALM  ROOM,  furnished  in  Cerise,  with  Billiard  and 
Pool  tables  for  the  ladles— the  LOUIS  XV  PARLOR  the  LADIES  WRITING  ROOM 
and  numerous  other  modern  improvements,  together  with  the  unexcelled  Cuisine  and  the

Recollections  of  a  Busy  Man. 

TFrank  L.  Herdic  in  CnrUtnias  TMter  and  Pacer] 
When  you  requested:  me  to  give  you  a  synopsis  of  a 
few  of  my  importapt  splefi  while  I  have  been  on  the 
turf  and  to  also  spo&.m'y  photograph,  I  supposed  you 
were  jokingf<fot,iJT  received  your  personal  letter,  and 
as  my  time  is  limited,  doing  nothing  (I  am  going  away 
toqwxcrofr  to  East  Liverpool,  O.,  on  a  visit  to  Geo.  F. 
Br'u'n'S,'  known  on  the  American  turf  as  A.  B.  C,  his 
^initials  in  the  pool  box,  who  by  the  way  is  one  of  the 
best  customers  I  ever  had ),  I  will  make  it  short.  He 
would  buy  five  or  ten  thousand  dollars'  worth  of  pools 
at  a  time:  win  or  lose,  and  you  would  never  know  the 
difference.  They  are  few  and  far  between  like  A.  B.  C 
I,  George  Franklin  Mulford  Lockwood  Deckwood 
Herdic,  was  born  two  and  a  half  miles  f  ro  jo  Eddytown 
(could  have  been  born  in  Eddytown  if  I  had  had  a 
mind  to.)  Very  soon  moved  to  Addison,  Steuben 
county.  N.  Y. 

I  started  life  by  going  out  on  a  side  hill  and  killing 
rattlesnakes  for  nothing  and  pickiDg  berries  for  five 
cents  a  quart  to  get  money  to  go  to  the  Fourth  of  July 
celebration.  I  got  there,  but  I  had  to  wear  mother's 
shoes.  I  was  "lammed"  around  one  way  and  another 
until  I  got  a  little  experience  in  life  knocked  in  my 
head,  and  if  I  were  not  tired  I  would  tell  you  about 
the  first  State  fair  I  ever  attended.  It  was  at  Elmira, 
N.  Y.  Flora  Temple  and  George  M.  Patchen  were  to 
trot,  and  1  had  saved  up  for  six  months  for  the  fair, 
stealing  eggs  at  home,  playing  a  fiddle  at  country 
dances,  and  so  getting  a  roll  of  about  $50.  I  had  a 
pair  of  nankeen  pants,  about  six  inches  too  short  for 
me,  and  looked  as  near  like  the  young  man  who  is 
going  to  college  in  the  "College  Widow"  as  you  could 
picture  it.  When  I  saw  the  play  I  thought  it  was  me. 
Well  at  any  rate  I  went  to  the  fair,  and  the  first 
thing  I  did  was  to  get  me  a  glass  of  circus  lemonade. 
Four  pounds  of  brown  sugar,  a  barrel  of  rain  water,  a 
little  tartaric  acid  and  a  circus  bill  made  a  sucker  turn 
around  and  buy  another.  I  bought  me  a  cord  of 
ginger  bread  and  away  I  went  across  the  lawn.  A 
three  card  monte  man  was  fingering  his  pasteboards 
on  a  barrel  head,  and  I  stopped  and  saw  two  or  three 
pluggers  win  five  and  ten  dollars.  The  corner  of  the 
card  was  turned  up  and  I  wondered  if  he  would  bet 
me.  I  did  not  have  long  to  wait,  as  he  threw  them 
over  and  said  he  would  wager  $5,  $10,  $20  or  $50  that 
no  one  could  pick  the  deuce.  Oh,  what  a  picnic,  I 
thought.  I  put  my  finger  on  the  card  and  went  after 
the  safety  pin  that  confined  my  rollin  my  pants  watch 
pocket,  while  I  wondered  who  would  hold  it.  Well,  I 
had  no  trouble  to  find  some  one  to  hold  it.  The  man 
said  I  was  taking  advantage  of  bim  and  wanted  to 
throw  them  around  again,  but  I  would  not  stand  for 
for  that,  so  he  said,  "Well,  if  I  burned  over  the  deuce 
the  money  was  mine,"  so  I  turned  it  over,  and  Holy 
K.  Smoke!  it  was  the  queen  of  diamonds.  Imagine 
Reuben!  If  the  earth  had  opened  up  and  swallowed 
me  I  would  have  been  satisfied.  Six  months'  earnings 
all  gone,  and  my  ginger  bread  got  mislaid  and  that 
was  gone. 

Well,  I  went  and  saw  one  heat  of  the  race.  George 
M.  Patchen  threw  a  shoe  and  Flora  Temple  won  the 
heat.  They  unhitched  in  front  of  the  stand  and 
every  one  got  as  near  as  he  could  to  the  mare.  I  did 
the  same,  and  I  thought  to  myself  that  I  would  have 
something  to  tell  about  when  I  get  home.  1  would 
put  my  hand  on  Flora  Temple.  I  turned  about  two- 
thirds  around  and  put  my  hand  on  her  rump,  and  she 
kicked  me,  well,  you  can  guess  where.  I  picked  my- 
self up  and  made  a  beeline  for  the  depot,  and  when  I 
got  home  I  showed  the  boys  what  I  got  at  the  fair. 

My  father  was  a  harnessmaker  and  played  the 
fiddle  with  three  fingers.  I,  as  a  "kid, "suddenly  took 
that  up  and  afterward  made  a  living  playing  at  the 
country  dances.  I  drifted  along  until  I  was  old 
enough  to  do  odd  jobs,  such  as  working  on  the  road, 
picking  stone  for  a  red-headed  uncle  for  31  cents  a 
day,  and  after  I  was  twelve  years  of  age  I  never  knew 
what  it  was  to  receive  a  cent  from  anyone  but  what  I 
paid  one  hundred  cents  on  a  dollar.  I  finally  left 
home  between  seventeen  and  eighteen  years  of  age. 
Went  away  for  the  purpose  of  getting  a  game  chicken, 
and  in  the  meantime  got  married,  when  I  waseighteen 
years  old,  and  supported  a  family  ever  since. 

I  was  always  very  fond  of  horses.  I  went  to  war, 
not  as  a  soldier,  but  as  a  sutler's  clerk.  I  made  a 
little  money,  came  back  home  to  Addison,  paid  for  a 
house  and  lot,  went  to  work  in  a  sash  and  door 
factory.  In  the  meantime  my  Uncle  Peter,  of 
Williamsport,  Pa.,  where  I  now  reside  and  have  ever 
since,  got  hold  of  me,  thinking  that  with  my  gift  of 
gab,  he  could  utilize  me  in  some  kind  of  business  in 
Williamsport.  He  started  me  out  running  a  street 
car.  I  succeeded  very  well.  Ab  fast  as  I  would  take 
up  the  money  during  the  State  Fair,  I  loaned  it  to  a 
sport'ng  man  from  Elmira,  and  he  succeeded  in  losing 
it,  an'  one  evening  I  failed  to  turn  it  in,  and  my 
asked  me  what  I  did  with  it.    My  name  begins 


with  George,  and  I  could  not  tell  a  lie,  and 
I  told  him  I  loaned  it  to  a  friend  of  mine  and  he 
had  lost  it  playing  poker,  but  would  return  it  to  me 
the  next  day,  as  he  expected  to  get  it  from  Elmira, 
all  of  which  he  did. 

From  that  I  drifted  into  the  lumber  business,  and 
got  out  of  it  all  in  one  night.  Burned  up  and  no  in_ 
surance.  About  that  time  the  races  began  at  BuffalO] 
and  I  never  missed  a  meeting  from  that  day  to  thiB, 
with  exception  of  three  of  last  year's,  when  I  sold 
pools  at  Poughkeepsie.  I  have  sold  $150,000,000 
worth  of  pools.  Was  independently  poor  when  I 
started,  and  have  just  about  held  my  own. 

I  have  supported  a  family  in  very  good  shape,  and 
have  two  grown  up  children,  my  son  in  the  insurance 
business  and  my  daughter  married  to  S.  T.  McOor- 
mick  of  the  law  firm  of  H.  C.  &  S.  T.  McCormick. 

About  the  races?  I  could  give  a  great  account  of  a 
number  of  the  races.  Have  seen  most  all  of  any 
account,  but  my  time  being  limited,  and  b-[nging 
people  in  who  would  not  want  their  names  mentioned, 
I  am  forced  to  leave  them  out. 

We  have  lost  one  of  our  best  patrons  of  the 
American  turf,  Mr.  E.  E.  Smathers,  who  sold  his  en- 
tire stable,  which  took  him  five  years  to  get  together. 
He  was  one  of  the  best  patrons  in  my  business,  and 
would  bet  more  money  on  an  even  thing  than  any 
other  man  I  ever  knew. 

He  was  not  my  best  customer,  however,  as  Mr.  Nick 
Hubinger,  of  New  Haven,  Conn.,  was  and  is  the  best 
every  day  customer  I  ever  had,  and  when  he  and  his 
brother  Joe  were  on  one  side  and  Mr.  Smathers  on 
the  other,  it  was  nothing  to  get  $5,000  for  first  choice, 
and  they  would  usually  go  as  far  as  they  liked.  I 
have  known  Mr.  Hubinger  to  have  $38  000  worth  of 
pools  in  one  race,  start  off  $10,000  loser,  and  quit  the 
race  before  it  was  over  about  $7,000  to  the  good. 
That  was  the  great  race  between  Boralma,  owned  by 
Mr.  Thomas  Lawson;  Lord  Derby,  owned  by  E.  E. 
Smathers,  and  The  Monk,  owned  by  Fred  Gerken, 
New  York,  one  of  the  greatest  races  I  ever  sold  on, 
Lord  Derby  finally  winning  it. 

Afterwards  the  greatest  selling  race  I  ever  had  was 
was  in  Lexington,  Ky.  the  Transylvania,  which 
Boralma  won.  The  evening  before  the  race  came  off 
I  sold  $85,500  in  two  and  one-half  hours.  They  had  a 
collision  the  next  day  in  the  first  heat.  Boralma  and 
Bay  Star  got  together  and  York  Boy  won  the  heat  in 
2:11}.  There  was  quite  a  little  commotion  about  a 
foul  being  committed,  but  the  driver  of  Bay  Star  told 
the  judges  it  was  an  unavoidable  accident,  and  the 
race  was  finally  won  by  Boralma. 

I  have  been  in  the  business  thirty-one  years.  Have 
seen  all  the  fast  horses,  their  races  and  trials,  from 
Maine  to  California.  Have  never  asked  a  driver  to 
pull  a  heat  or  race  for  me  in  my  life,  and  I  am  not 
honester  than  the  times  admit.  Would  take  advan- 
tage of  a  good  thing  if  I  saw  it.  Have  played  a  great 
many  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars  against 
people's  horses  and  been  in  with  it,  and  would  like  to 
have  the  opportunity  to  do  the  same  thing  now,  and 
have  had  several  of  these  driven  out  on  me,  and 
have  to  quietly  bite  my  tongue  and  pay  up  all,  where 
if  they  had  done  as  they  agreed  I  would  have  had 
half  of  it,  and  they  the  other  half.  I  have  had  several 
of  these  little  things,  one  that  cost  me  $15,800  at  one 
pop,  and  another  that  ccst  me  $10  000,  but  I  have 
never  yet  squealed  or  opened  my  mouth,  or  went  to 
the  stand  and  asked  to  have  a  driver  removed,  but 
quietly  kept  my  mouth  shut  and  sawed  wood. 

This  presidential  year  has  been  an  off  year,  not  be- 
ing nearly  as  good  as  last  year  and  the  year  before, 
which  were  the  two  banner  years.  One  thing  is,  their 
tampering  with  the  old  fashioned  way  and  trying  in- 
novations, such  as  dashes.  I  know  they  can  never 
make  trotting  and  pacing  a  success  by  giving  dashes, 
trying  to  make  running  races  out  of  trotters  and 
pacers. 

The  only  thing  they  could  have  added  would  be  to 
make  the  trotters  and  pacers  jump  hurdles  and  have 
a  steeplechase.  That  would  complete  it.  At  New 
York  alone  this  year,  where  we  should  have  sold  at 
least  $700,000,  we  worked  our  heads  off  and  did  not 
sell  more  than  $250,000  at  the  two  meetings. 

At  Empire  and  Brighton  Beach,  if  they  had  been 
three  in  five,  and  the  fast  classes  ttro  in  three,  we 
surely  would  have  the  amount  before  mentioned. 
And  if  there  ever  opened  a  chance  for  cheaters,  the 
dash  system  does  it.  They  can  skin  the  bookmakers 
and  you  cannot  get  the  public  to  take  hold  at  all;  they 
think  they  see  something.  They  are  educated,  plumb 
up-to-date.  The  perquisites  in  my  business  a  few 
years  ago  were  much  better  to  me,  financially,  than 
they  are  now.  People  who  strike  a  race  track  nowa- 
days will  find  some  one,  usually  called  "touts,"  to 
educate  them  so  that  they  can  get  a  piece  of  their 
money,  provided  it  wins,  and  I  don't  know  of  a  single 
ticket  we  have  had  in  eight  years  left  over.  The 
"touts"  usually  know  more  than  the  trainers  and 
owners  themselves,  and  they  are  there,  Johnny  on  at 


the  rat  hole,  to  take  advantage  of  the  best  betting 
there  is.  They  hardly  give  an  owner  a  chance,  and  I 
do  not  object  to  those  peopl",  as  they  bring  a  lot  of 
money  to  the  surface  that  otherwise  we  could  not  get 
a  chance  at. 

The  associations  have  got  things  figured  down  so 
fine  that  a  man  might  as  well  saw  wood  like  old  Kize. 
He  sawed  wood  for  fifty  cents  a  cord  for  oyer  twenty 
years.  I  met  him  one  day  and  asked  him  how  he  was 
gettiDg  along.  He  says,  "Well,  I  will  tell  you,  Frank, 
if  I  had  saved  my  money  and  not  got  married,  I  vould 
have  had  $300  today."  And  that  is  about  the  same 
proposition  that  the  pool  seller  has  when  he  gets 
through  and  has  his  expenses  paid.  I  have  got  two 
barrels  of  pickled  fingers  all  headed  up,  looking  for  a 
customer.  In  other  words,  those  are  fingers  that 
have  never  made  good,  have  left  their  pants  in  their 
other  pocketbook.  In  other  words,  over-played 
themselves,  aud  I  up  to  date  have  had  to  make  good 
to  every  bujer  who  wins  a  ticket,  also  the  association. 

I  have  been  dead  twice,  and  at  that  have  sold  more 
pools  than  anyone  living  or  dead,  and  if  I  am  no  worse 
next  year,  I  expect  to  go  from  one  end  of  the  Grand 
Circuit  to  the  other  end,  asking  what  they  will  give 
for  the  first  choics  or  a  field 


Northern  News. 


Victoria,  B.  C,  Jan.  14, 1905. 
Breeder  &  Sportsman:  The  Directors  of  the 
British  Columbia  Agricultural  Association  are  con- 
sidering the  advisability  of  giving  two  race  meetings 
in  Victoria;  the  6pring  meeting  is  to  be  held  on  the 
24th,  25th  and  26th  of  May;  the  fall  meeting  to  be  in 
October,  the  exact  dates  not  yet  named.  The  fair 
and  race  meeting  of  last  fall  in  Victoria  was  the  ban- 
ner fair  and  race  meeting  of  British  Columbia.  The 
attendance  was  good  every  day;  the  racing  was  of  a 
high-class;  every  heat  was  a  genuine  contest  and 
every  race  was  run  on  its  merits.  The  Directors 
worked  incessantly  to  give  the  public  a  first-class 
fair,  and  the  liberal  words  of  praise  given  by  the 
press  and  public  and  the  liberal  attendance  each  day 
showed  conclusively  that  the  good  work  done  by  the 
Directors  was  not  only  highly  appreciated  but  was  a 
monetary  success. 

The  Directors  contemplate  quiteextensive  improve- 
ments to  the  track,  grand  stand  and  grounds.  The 
grand  stand  was  by  far  too  small  last  fall  to  accomo- 
date the  crowds  and  an  addition  to  it  will  be  made) 
also  a  new  judges'  stand  erected.  Other  improve- 
ments will  also  be  made  and  additional  stables  built  as 
the  present  number  of  stalls  was  inadequate  laBt  fall. 
Many  valuable  horses  were  kept  in  tents.  The  num- 
ber of  horses  here  last  fall  was  far  in  excess  of  any 
previous  year;  the  general  attendance  was  also  in  ex- 
cess of  previous  yearB,  and  the  gross  receipts  and  net 
profit  were  a  pleasant  surprise  to  the  Directors. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  British  Columbia 
Agricultural  Association  are  business  men;  men  of 
good  social  standing  and  men  who  have  the  best  in- 
terest of  the  country  at  heart.  It  has  never  been  my 
pleasure  to  meet  a  more  gentlemanly  lot  of  officials  on 
a  race  track.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  Association 
will  receive  government  aid  and  an  appropriation  for 
annual  colt  races  to  encourage  the  breeding  and  de- 
velopment of  high  class  horses  in  British  Columbia. 

I  have  just  received  a  letter  from  Mr.  C.  X.  Larrabee, 
proprietor  of  Brook  Nooke  Stock  Ranch  in  Montana, 
in  which  he  states  that  it  is  his  intention  to  bring  a 
few  carloads  of  young  harness  horses  to  the  Coast  in 
the  spring,  for  sale.  Mr.  Larrabee  has  been  shipping 
his  horses  to  Boston  every  year  and  has  always  re- 
ceived satisfactory  prices.  Being  a  Western  man  he 
is  desirous  of  seeing  the  products  of  bis  great  ranch 
distributed  in  the  West,  and  it  is  to  b"  hoped  that 
Western  horsemen  will  avail  themselves  of  thiB  op- 
portunity to  obtain  some  of  the  high  bred  youngsters 
from  the  Brook  Nooke  Ranch  These  youngsters 
are  from  such  high  class  horses  as  Alcone  6780  by  the 
great  sire  Alcyone,  sire  of  the  King  of  sires  McKinney; 
Alfonso  9700,  a  speed  producing  son  of  the  great 
Baron  Wilkes  and  Alma  Mater,  one  of  the  word's 
greatest  broodmares.  Jubilee  de  Jarnette  5105,  the 
last  named  stallion,  is  one  of  the  greatest  show  horses 
in  the  world;  his  dam  Lady  de  Jarnette  was  one  of  the 
very  highest  class  show  mares  ever  exhibited  in  the 
United  States.  Keeler  6435,  the  Bire  of  Onoqua  2:08J 
and  other  grand  circuit  stars  is  one  of  the  best  sires 
in  America.  Vice  Regent  20965,  a  beautiful  chestnut 
son  of  Mambrino  King  and  Estebella  by  Alcantara, 
the  King  Red  37353  by  Red  Wilkes,  first  dam  Roan 
Fanny  by  Mambrino  King;  Roan  Fanny  is  the  dam  of 
Fanny  Swoop  2:19},  dam  of  King  Red  2:20},  dam  of 
Mattie  K.  2:23|,  dam  of  Burlesque  2:25},  dam  of  Mattie 
Swoop  2:30,  dam  of  Kitty  McQuirk,  dam  of  George 
Drummond  2:171.  This  concludes  the  list  of  stallions 
at  the  Brook  Nooke  Ranch.  The  broodmares  are  of 
the  very  highest  class  selected  with  great  care  by  Mr. 
Larrabee,  who  by  the  way  is  a  most  exacting  judge  of 
horseflesh.  Every  horse  leaving  the., ranch  must  be 
perfectly  broken,  single  and  double,  and  in  good  con- 
dition. It  is  up  to  some  of  the  enterprising  San 
Francisco  horse  sales  people  to  secure  a  consignment 
of  these  blue-blooded  youngsters  from  the  Brook 
Nooke  Ranch  since  the  Eastern  buyers  have  picked 
up  the  cream  of  the  California  harness  horses. 

Alot  of  new  infusionsfrom  theBrook  Nooke  Ranch 
should  be  good  for  the  breeding  interest  of  the  Pacific 
Coast.  The  Brook  Nooke  broodmares  are  by  such 
sires  as  George  Wilkes,  Altamont,  Robert  McGregor, 
Electioneer,  Kisbar,  Alcone,  Copper  King.  Fieldmont, 
Almont33,  Jerome  Eddy,  Victor  Bismark,  Blackwood, 
Keeler,  Red  Wilkes  and  other  sires  of  the  very  highest 
breeding.  Yours  very  truly, 

C.  A.  Harrison.

Good  Stock  for  New  Zealand. 


Y.  Adonis  is  Dead. 


On  the  steamer  which  left  this  city  for  Australasia 
Xhursday  of  last  week  there  were  five  trotting-bred 
horses  consigned  to  Mr.  R.  McMillan  of  162  Cashal 
Btreet,  Chrisichureb,  New  Zealand.  Two  registered 
stallions,  one  that  is  not  registered  but  eligible,  and 
two  well-breu  mares  made  up  the  consignment.  Mr. 
McMillan,  who  spent  nearly  the  entire  summer  in  the 
United  States,  took  passage  on  the  same  steamer  and 
we  hope  he  will  land  his  purchases  in  their  new  home 
in  good  shape  as  they  will  be  of  great  value  in  improv- 
ing the  blood  of  the  New  Zealand  trotting  horses  of 
the  future. 

The  registered  stallions  were:  Mauritius  36257,  and 
Harold  Dillon  39610.  The  first  named  is  a  foal  of 
1902  and  will  be  three  years  old  on  the  21st  of  April 
next.  He  is  a  bay  colt,  15.2  in  height,  and  weighs 
900  pounds.  He  was  bred  by  the  late  J.  Malcolm 
Forbes  and  is  by  the  great  trotting  stallion  Bingen 
2:06},  dam  the  great  brood  mare  Roxana  by  King 
Wilkes,  second  dam  Wavelet,  dam  of  four  in  the  list, 
by  Belmont  64,  third  dam  the  famous  mare  Water- 
witch,  dam  of  six  standard  performers,  by  Pilot  Jr. 
12.  Mauritius  is  a  pacer,  wears  no  boots,  is  a  hand- 
some colt,  and  an  excellent  speed  prospect.  On  his 
breeding  he  should  be  a  great  sire  as  his  ancestors 
are  all  producers  of  standard  speed  for  three  genera- 
tions back.  Mr.  McMillan  bought  Mauritius  at  the 
Old  Glory  Sale  in  New  York  last  December. 

The  other  registered  stallion  is  Harold  Dillon  39610, 
a  foal  of  1903  that  Mr.  McMillan  purchased  at  the 
Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  after  returning  from  his 
Eastern  trip.  Harold  Dilion  is  a  chesnut  with  a  strip 
in  his  face  and  looks  very  much  like  his  noted 
sire  Sidney  Dillon,  sire  of  the  world's  champion 
trotter.  Harold  Dillon's  dam  is  Guycara  2:1SJ  by 
Guy  Wilkes  2:15};  second  dam  the  great  brood- 
mare Biscari,  dam  of  four  in  the  list,  by  Director 
2:17;  third  dam  Bicara,  dam  of  six  in  the  list, 
including  the  great  sire  Pancoast  by  Harold,  sire 
of  Maud  S.  2:08|,  etc.  Harold  Dillon  is  undoubt- 
edly one  of  the  most  fashionably  bred  young  stal- 
lions that  ever  left  our  shores,  and  although  not 
a  large  colt  is  well  formed  and  a  good  gaited 
youngster. 

Wallace  L.,  although  not  registered,  is  a  well 
bred  stallion,  six  years  old,  that  has  shown  con- 
siderable speed  and  is  a  good  individual.  He  is 
16  hands  high  and  weighs  1100  pounds.  He  was 
bred  by  the  late  B  C.  Holly  and  is  by  Don  L. 
2:28J  out  of  the  registered  mare  Economy  2:30 
by  Echo.  Wallace  L.  will  be  registered,  the 
papers  having  already  been  drawn  up. 

The  two  mares  Mr.  McMillan  is  taking  to  New 
Zealand  are  Miss  Youngley.  registered  in  Volume 
15,  A.  T.  R.,  and  Muriel  Madison,  a  large  and  speedy 
daughter  of  James  Madison  2:17*.  Miss  Youngley  is 
a  bay  mare  15.2,  weighing  1000  pounds.  She  was  bred 
by  H.  L.  Asher  of  Lexington,  Kentucky  and  is  by 
Young  Jim  2009,  dam  Princetta  by  Princeps.  Miss 
Youngley  is  eleven  years  old  and  a  regular  breeder. 
Her  foals  have  not  been  raced  as  yet  but  those  that 
are  broken  show  speed. 

Muriel  Madison  is  six  years  old.  She  is  a  large  mare, 
standing  16.2  and  weighs  over  1200.  She  was  bred  by 
R.  E.  DeB.  Lopez  &  Son,  Merriwa  Stock  Farm,  Pleas- 
anton,  Cal.,  and  is  by  James  Madison  2:17f ,  sire  of 
Tuna  2:08},  etc.,  dam  by  Memo  15907,  a  well  bred  son 
of  Sidney,  second  dam  by  Speculation  and  third  dam 
by  Williamson's  Belmont. 

Mr.  McMillan,  who  had  purchased  the  horses  here 
mentioned,  is  an  old  Californian,  but  has  been  a  resi- 
dent of  New  Zealand  for  the  past  nine  years.  During 
his  stay  in  California  he  made  many  warm  friends,  all 
of  whom  will  wish  him  the  best  of  luck  with  his  pur- 
chases. While  at  the  Old  Glory  Sale  last  month  he 
purchased   two  horses  that  died   while  on   the  trip 

ross  the  continent,  one  of  which  was  the  royally 
ured  paeingmare  Lottie  Pointer  by  Star  Pointer  1:59}, 
dam  Lottie  Loraine  2:05|  by  Gambetta  Wilkes,  second 
dam  the  great  broodmare  Lady  Yeiser,  dam  of  eleven 
in  the  list,  by  Garrard  Chief  2253.  The  loss  of  this 
mare  was  keenly  felt  by  Mr.  McMillan  as  she  was  un- 
doubtedly the  best  bred  pacer  that  has  ever  been  pur- 
chased for  exportation  to  the  antipodes.  She  has 
shown  two-minute  speed  in  her  work  and  waB  but 
three  years  old. 

Half-tone  engravings  of  the  two  registered  stallions, 
exported  by  Mr.  McMillan,  appear  on  our  front  page 
this  week.

Mr.  L.  E.  Clawson  of  this  city,  who  has  an  eye  for  a 
good  horse  and  who  is  about  as  expert  a  judge  of 
equine  proportions  as  the  next  man,  was  at  Livermore 
two  years  ago  during  the  spring  horse  show  held  in 
that  town,  and  while  there  saw  a  German  coach  stal- 
lion in  the  procession  that  he  greatly  admired.  On 
inquiry  Mr.  Clawson  ascertained  that  the  horse  was 
named  Y.  Adonis,  was  an  importation  from  Germany 
and  a  frequent  prize  winnerin  the  old  country  as  well 
as  in  America.  Y.  Adonis  was  owned  and  exhibited 
by  Mr.  French  of  San  Joaquin  county  and  Mr.  Claw- 
son decided  to  send  a  mare  to  be  bred  to  the  stallion. 
He  selected  a  large,  black  mare  that  was  an  almost 
perfect  type  of  the  carriage  horse,  weighing  1300 
pounds,  having  a  beautiful  head,  small  ear  and  large 
eye,  with  an  arching  neck  and  high  action.  She  was 
sent  to  Mr.  French's  ranch  and  bred  to  Y.  Adonis, 
and  last  summer  foaled  a  beautiful  black  colt  that  is 
now  eight  months  old.  The  mare  was  bred  back  and 
was  again  in  foal,  but  on  being  shipped  back  to  this 
city  with  her  weanling  a  few  days  ago,  met  with  an 
accident  on  the  boat  and  was  so  badly  injured  that 
she  died.  Mr.  Clawson's  loss  is  a  heavy  one,  but  he 
has  confidence  that  the  colt,  which  was  not  injured  in 
the  least,  will  develop  into  a  high-class  stallion.  Mr. 
Clawson  received  word  just  a  few  days  ago  from  Mr. 
French  that  Y.  Adonis  died  during  the  latter  part  of 
last  month  from  inflammation  of  the  bowels.  The 
death  of  this  stallion  is  a  loss  to  the  breeding  interests 
of  the  State,  as  he  was  one  of  the  most  perfect  speci- 
mens of  the  German  coach  horse  ever  brought  to 
America.

Harness  Racing  Statistics. 

Secretary  Knight  has  been  delving  into  statistics 
that  will  be  found  interesting  as  showing  the  marvel- 
ous extent  of  racing  in  the  West.  He  says  the  Ameri- 
can Trotting  Association  had  612  members  in  1904, 
located  in  thirty-seven  states  and  territories,  Canada 
and  British  America.  These  members  held  609  meet- 
ings during  the  year,  with  an  aggregate  of  1989  days 
of  trotting  and  pacing  races.  At  these  meetings 
$1,503,140  was  offered  in  stakes  and  purses  for  trot- 
ting and  pacing  horses.  During  the  year  $17,335.77 
was  collected  and  paid  to  members  for  unpaid  en- 
trance and  other  claims,  and  thousands  of  dollars  in 
claims  and  suspension  settled  directly  between  mem- 
bers and  horsemen  through  the  efforts  of  the  secre- 
tary's office.  Money  recovered  and  distributed,  $6,- 
646.92;  1565  persons  and  1762  horses  were  suspended 
for  non-payment  of  entrance  money  due  members,  and 
1381  persons  and  1562  horses  reinstated  on  the  books 
of  the  association.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that 
the  American  Association  represents  only  about  half 
the  tracks  of  the  entire  country,  and  if  the  National 
Association  is  included,  with  its  big  purses  in  the 
Grand  Circuit,  it  would  be  safe  to  say  that  nearly 
$5,000,000  is  hung  up  annually  for  harness  horses.—

Bruce  Lowe  Again  Vindicated. 

[The  Special  Commissioner  in  London  Sportsman] 

Though  Bruce  Lowe  based  his  figure  guide  solely 
on  the  results  for  the  Derby,  Oaks  and  St.  Leger 
since  those  races  were  established  up  to  the  pres- 
ent date,  I  have  for  some  years  past  tested  the  "guide" 
more  fully  by  taking  all  the  results  of  each  season  and 
noting  how  the  families  come  out  under  that  scrutiny. 
This  time  an  addition  has  been  made  in  my  statis- 
tics, for  besides  the  number  of  races  won  and  their 
value  in  stakes,  there  will  now  be  found  againstoach 
family  the  actual  number  of  its  winners  during  1904. 
It  is  to  be  observed  that  No.  (2)  family  is  more  num- 
erously represented  in  the  Stud  Book  than  any  other, 
and  its  successes  must  be  considered  in  that  light,  but, 
on  the  other   hand,  such  evidence  of  the  line  having 


proved  so  prolific  is  proof  of  its  vigor  and  vitality. 

No.  (2)  family  has  regained  the  position  held  in 
1901  and  1902,  just  finishing  in  front  of  No.  (4),  which 
came  out  first  last  year,  with  No.  (2)  a  very  close 
second.  I  find  during  the  last  five  seasons  No.  (2) 
family  has  carried  off  989  races;  No.  (4),  764  races;  No. 
(1),  693  races;  and  No.  3,  651  races.  The  aggregate 
amount  of  stakes  won  by  horses  of  the  first  four 
families  since  1899  is:  No.  (2),  £265,566;No.  (4),  £254,- 
170;  No.  (1),  £218,416,  and  No.  3  £173,977. 

It  is  obviously  a  close  thing  all  through  between  No. 
(2)  and  No.  (4),  but  No.  (1)  well  holds  its  own  for  clas. 
sic  quality,  and  it  has  never  been  so  numerous  as  its 
close  rivals.    Here  are  the  results: 

FAMILY  FIGURES  FOR  SEASON  1904. 

In  this  table  the  place  money  in  the  following  races 
is  included:  Two  Thousand  and  One  Thousand 
Guineas,  the  Derby,  the  Oaks,  Princess  of  Wales'  and 
Jockey  Club  Stakes  (Newmarket;,  Eclipse  StakeB 
(Sandown  Park),  and  the  St.  Leger  Stakes;  also  all 
races  in  Ireland  of  the  value  of  £80  and  upwards:

In  all  instances  of  dead  heats  only  half  the  net  amount  of  the 
stake  is  credited. 

It  must,  of  course,  be  accepted  that  No.  6  family  is 
unfortunately  somewhat  played  out,  and  but  very 
sparsely  represented  in  England,  but,  as  already  men- 
tioned, No.  (2)  family  has  recovered  the  firBt  position 
from  No.  (4),  and  not  only  so  in  the  matter  of  the 
amount  of  stakes  but  if  we  turn  to  the  races  won  this 
family  has  a  clear  lead  of  30  over  its  nearest  attend- 
ant, No.  (1),  and  24  in  point  of  actual  winners.  First, 
second  and  third  places  are  held  by  families  (2),  (4) 
and  (1),  but  the  latter  is  a  good  second  if  we  take  the 
actual  races  captured.  Fourth  position  is  held  by 
No.  14,  but  in  this  instance  Pretty  Polly  and  St. 
Amant,  who  together  accounted  for  all  the  clastic 
races,  contribute  no  less  than  over  £30,000  No.  3 
still  shows  a  slight  tendency  to  decline,  finishing 
eighth,  as  compared  with  seventh  in  the  two  previous 
seasons.  No.  6  family,  which  last  year  dropped  out  of 
the  first  twenty,  now  comes  in  nineteenth  with  a  total 
of  £9475,  an  increase  of  over  £5000.  It  is  further  to 
be  noted  that  in  the  above  table  of  the  first  twenty 
there  are  only  two  families  which  are  of  2,  lower  figure 
than  20,  and  they  are  No.'s  22  and  23,  Nos.  15  and  17 
having  fallen  away  and  made  room  for  them.  A 
curious  point  I  note  is  that  no  mare  of  No.  (2)  family 
produced  a  winner  of  so  much  as  £3500,  Theale,  the 
dam  of  Throwaway,  being  the  highest  winner  with 
£63  short  of  that  figure.  To  No.  (1)  family  belongs 
the  mare  that  has  produced  the  winners  of  most  races 
in  1904,  viz.:  Gas,  dam  of  Cicero,  Valve  and  Gascony, 
who  took  eleven  races.  Pet  II,  dam  of  Delaunay  (ten 
races),  is  a  good  second.  I  might  add,  further,  that 
the  families  which  have  won  as  many  as  100  or  more 
races  are  No.'s  (1),  (2),  3,  (4),  (5)  and  8,  and  if  we 
place  the  families  in  accordance  with  the  number  of 
wins  as  given  in   the  above  table  we  will  find  they 

come  out  as  follows: 

No.  of 
Races  won 

1.  Family  No.  (2) 193 

2.  Family  No.  (1) 163 

3.  Family  No.  (4) 146 

4.  Family  No    3 128 

5.  Family  No    (5) 104 

6.  Family  No.  8 102 

If  I  carry  these  a  step   further  and   add   their  last 

year's  totals  it  will  only  change  the  position  of  (5)  and 

8  to  the  extent  of  two  races. 

No.  of 
Races  won. 

1.  Family  No.  (2) 413 

2.  Family  No.  (1) 312 

3.  Family  No.  (4) 306 

4   Family  No.  3 263 

5.  Family  No.  8 S09 

6   Family  No.  (5) 207 

This  must  surely  be  convincing  as  to  the  pre-eminent 
merit  of  the  five  running  families.  Of  the  outside 
families  No.  9  shows  the  best  signs  of  improvement, 
and  I  would  here  reiterate  the  warning  which  I  have 
from  time  to  time  given  that  the  position  held  by  the 
running  figures  by  no  means  indicates  that  it  is  good 
business  to  breed  from  those  families  exclusively — 
quite  the  reverse.  The  outside  figures  are  and  will 
always  be  necessary  for  producing  a  satisfactory 
blend,  and  it  should  further  be  kept  in  mind  that  Nos. 
1 1  and  13  are  almost  certainly  of  the  same  immediate 
origin.

Notes  and   News. 


Plenty  of  raid  this  week.

Grass  is  sis  inches  high  in  the  pastures. 

The  outlook  for  a  prosperous  year  in  California  was 
never  brighter. 

A   circuit   of  harness  meetings  should  therefore  ba 
arranged  without  delay. 


Twenty  odd  mares  of  high  quality  have  already  been 
booked  to  the  great  John  A.  MeKerron,  2:045. 


The  Chicago  horse  market  received  105,949  horses 
during  the  year  1904  against  100,603  the  previous  year. 


A  pair  of  fine  youog  stallions  is  offered  for  sale  by  a 
Sacramentan.  Also  a  good  Jack.  See  advertisement 
in  this  issue. 

The  Kenney  Manufacturing  Company  has  a  second 
hand  Moyer  Cart  for  sale  that  is  as  good  as  new. 
Look  at  it  at  531  Valencia  street. 


A  Sacramento  advertiser  wants  a  good  roadster- 
and  says  an  outclassed  horse  that  can  win  at  the  mat- 
inees will  do     See  advertisement. 


S.  H.- Hoy  is  getting  quite  a  striLg  together  on  his 
farm  track  at  Winters.  There  are  several  fast  young- 
sters in  the  bunch   by   his  good   stallion   Bavswater 

Wilkes  

President  Roosevelt,  it  is  said,  is  now  using  a  fast 
pacer  as  a  saddle  horse.  Spalspeen  2:12J  by  Hummer 
is  the  horse  the  President  is  now  riding  when  the 
weather  is  good.         

Old  Harry  Wilkes  2:13}  that  made  his  record  at 
Sacramento,  April  2,  1887,  is  owned  in  the  East  and 
although  twenty-nine  years  old  can  step  a  lively  clip 
for  a  little  ways.

An  effort  is  to  be  made  to  have  the  Legislature  pro- 
vide for  an  annual  agricultural  fair  in  each  of  the 
eight  Congressional  districts  in  California.  A  good 
plan  if  it  can  be  put  through. 


A  colt  stake  is  to  be  trotted  at  Dixon  on  May  Day 
and  several  purse  races  given.  The  little  town  at  the 
northern  end  of  Solana  County  is  getting  to  be  one  of 
the  best  horse  towns  on  the  coast. 


Applications  are  coming  in  every  few  days  to 
Secretary  Kelley  from  parties  who  desire  to  get  their 
colts  in  Stake  No.  4  of  the  Breeders  Futurities,  time 
of  substitution  in  which  will  expire  on  March  1st. 


The  trotting  gelding,  Young  Stamboul  that  low- 
ered bis  mark  to  2:141  last  season,  is  out  of  Lida  by 
Nephew,  second  dam,  Fanny  Trahern,  dam  of  Voucher

A  catalogue  of  the  Village  Farm  horses  to  be  sold 
by  the  Fasig  Tipton  Company  at  Its  big  Midwinter 
sale  January  30th  to  February  3rd  has  been  received. 
Some  of  the  brood  mares  and  stallions  ought  to  come 
to  California.  

Wiuh  76  three-year-olds  paid  up  on  the  Breeders 
Futurity  for  this  year,  there  will  be  quite  a  bunch  of 
three-year-olds  in  training  in  California  hy  the  first 
of  March.  No  State  can  show  a  better  bred  or  finer 
looking  lot  of  youngsters. 


The  fastest  matinee  horse  owned  in  Oshkosh,  Wis- 
consin, is  the  California  mare  Primrose  2:13  by  Fal- 
rose.  On  the  track  or  down  the  snow  path,  she  can 
lead  them  all.  She  is  owned  at  the  present  time  by 
Alderman  J.  J.  Stevenson  of  that  city.. 

Nathan  Strauss  has  sold  the  fast  pacer,  Tony  M., 
2:14^  to  Gen.  Nelson  A.  Miles,  now  on  the  Massachus- 
etts Governor's  staff  as  Inspector  General.  General 
Miles  is  an  enthusiastic  road  driver,  and  will  no  doubt 
take  a  prominent  part  in  the  Boston  Matinees. 


It  is  claimed  that  by  nailing  a  strip  of  sheepskin 
about  eight  inches  in  width  the  entire  length  of  the 
manger,  selecting  a  skin  covered  with  long  wool  and 
sprinkling  it  freely  with  cayenne  pepper  and  renew- 
ing it  occasionally,  the  worst  cribber  may  be  cured  of 
the  habit.  

Barney  Demarest  wants  to   buy   a   pacer   that  can 
lower  old  Flying  lib's  record  of  1:58}  made  with  run- 
ning mate.    The  record  has  stood  since  1894  and   we 
recall  that  any  pacer  has  ever  been  hooked  up 
with  a  runner  and   an   effort  made  to  lower  it,  but 
although  Dan  Patch   has  paced   in   1:56   "all  by   his 
n-  ly"  it  will  probably  require  more  than   one  trial 
^re  any  other  pacer  will  equal  or  lower  the  mark 
y  the  Algona  gelding  that  is  now  enjoying  life  at 
irm  of  his  owner  Geo.  A.  Davis  of  Pleasanton.

Iran  Alto  2:12}  will  make  the  season  at  Woodland 
and  has  quite  a  number  of  good  mares  already  booked. 
Those  who  look  his  colts  over  will  want  to  breed  to 
this  stallion,  the  fastest  of  the  get  of  the  great  Palo 
Alto  2:08}.  He  is  a  great  sire  of  speed  considering 
his  opportunities 

Breeders'  Futurity  No  5,  is  guaranteed  to  be  worth 
$7000.  It  closed  October  15th  last  and  is  for  the  foals 
of  mares  bred  in  1904.  If  you  are  in  stay  in  by  mak- 
ing second  payment  on  1st  of  February.  If  you  are 
not  in,  get  in  by  applying  for  one  of  the  very  few  sub- 
stitutions that  will  be  for  sale. 


Saota  Rosa  will  give  a  harness  meeting  this  year, 
so  one  of  the  leading  horse  breeders  of  that  prosperous 
city,  told  us  this  week.  Woodland  will  be  in  line  with 
a  meeting.  Pleasanton  proposes  to  repeat  its  big 
success  of  last  year,  and  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  will 
give  a  meeting  somewhere.  That's  four  meetings  that 
are  certain.     What  track  will  be  the  next  to  ccme  in? 


Barney  Simpson  has  sold  his  gelding  by  Don  Derby 
2:04..,  dam  Cyrene2:27}  by  Guide  2:16,  son  of  Director, 
second  dam  Alice  R.,  dam  of  three  in  the  list,  by 
Naubuc,  sire  of  the  dam  of  Directly  2:03},  to  Charles 
De  Ryder,  who  will  train  him  for  the  Grand  Circuit. 


Running  bred  horses  do  not  always  bring  big  fig- 
ures at  auction  as  the  following  from  the  San  Francis- 
co Examiner  of  Friday  shows:  "The  sale  of  Hildreth 
mares  yesterday  was  a  decided  frost.  No  one  ap- 
peared to  want  them  at  any  price  and  they  were 
knocked  down  in  succession  to  Harry  Stover.  He 
secured  Rio  Hondo  and  La  Salinas  for  $100  each  and 
Mitten  only  brought  the  paltry  sum  of  $40.  Don 
Cameron  purchased  the  yearling  colt  by  Rubicon  out 
of  Rio  Hondo  for  $35.  Other  mares  and  colts  of  the 
Papinta  Stock  Farm,  were  offered  but  there  were  no 
bids."  

H.  B.  Smith  of  Dkiah  reports  the  bad  news  that 
his  mare  May  Ayers  2:23}  lost  her  foal  by  Wayland 
W.  2:124  this  week  and  tnat  he  will  have  a  nomina- 
tion in  Breeders  Futurity  No  5  to  dispose  of.  The 
four-year-old  filly  by  Lynwood  W.  out  of  May  Ayers 
is  now  at  Pleasanton  in  the  hands  of  John  Quinn,  who 
also  is  training  the  colt  Dumont  S.,  a  fuil  brother  to 
Sonoma  Girl  that  belongs  to  Thos.  Charlton  of  Ukiah, 
Cal.  Abe  Marks  of  the  same  place  has  sent  his  mare 
Cecille  M.  by  Robin,  dam  by  Redwood,  to  Richard 
Abies  of  Santa  Rosa,  who  will  take  her  to  Pleasanton 
in  a  few  days.  She  should  trot  in  2:15,  barring  ac- 
cidents.   

At  the  Fresno  track  Charles  Middleton  has  eight 
head  in  training,  a  three-yerr-old  trotter  by  Sidney 
Arnett  that  can  trot  a  quarter  in  forty  seconds,  Sid- 
ney Barrett,  a  three-year-old  pacer  by  the  same  horse 
out  of  a  mare  by  Strathway,  King  Pin,  a  two-year-old 
trotter  by  Athadon,  dam  by  Red  Wilkes,  Nana  C  ,  a 
two-year-old  pacer  by  Strathway,  dam  by  Maje6ter, 
Queen  Pomona,  a  four-year-old  pacer  by  Pomona, 
that  has  been  a  quarter  in  38  seconds,  Dan  S.,  a  three- 
year-old  pacer  by  Athablo,  dam  by  Dawn,  Poverty 
Row,  a  two-year-old  trotter  by  Strathway,  dam  Miss- 
issippi by  Red  Nuttle,  that  is  entered  in  the  Breeders 
Futurity  for  this  year,  Teunakehia,  a  two-year-old  by 
Athablo,  dam  Lect  2:27  by  Electic,  also  entered  in 
the  stake  and  has  trotted  a  quarter  in  40  seconds. 
Joe  Depoister  has  Bollivar  by  El  Capitan  and  Milton 
Gear  by  Harry  Gear.  S.  Walton  has  ten  head  of 
colts,  Charles  Clark  has  ten  tro'terB  and  pacers  at  his 
place  near  the  track,  and  Joe  Schooling  has  five  head, 
one  by  Lustridon  that  has  all  the  looks  and  actions  of 
a  fast  trotter.  Fresno  track  is  quite  a  lively  place  on 
work-out  days. 


[January  21,  1905 

Washington's  Birthday  will  be  celebrated  at  Santa 
Cruz  with  colt  races  held  during  the  afternoon,  and 
between  heats  there  will  be  a  parade  of  the  best 
stallions,  broodmares  and  eoltsowned  in  the  neighbor- 
hood. The  races  will  be  half-mile  heats,  best  two  in 
three.  Two  colts  by  Henry  Nutwood,  and  one  by 
Quervo  are  entered  and  the  prize  is  a  set  of  harness. 
Santa  Cruz  sadly  needs  the  race  track  which  failed  to 
materialize.  With  the  beautiful  climate  and  quick- 
drying  soil,  a  track  would  be  a  success.  The  pastures 
are  rich  and  numerous  and  nearly  all  fenced  with 
wood,  so  there  is  nothing  to  fear  from  barb  wire.  Our 
occasional  correspondent,  A.  N  ,  who  furnishes  the 
above,  says  it  looks  as  If  1905  will  he  good  to  the 
people  of  Santa  Cruz  county. 


The  well  known  wood  and  coal  dealer  of  Oakland, 
Mr.  R.  P.  M.  Greeley,  who  owns  Winnie  Wilkes  2:17} 
and  has  bred  three  fast  youngsters  from  her  by 
Diablo,  McKinney  and  Searchlight,  has  been  con- 
fined to  his  home  the  past  four  weeks  with  illness,  but 
is  getting  better  and  hopes  to  he  out  again  soon,  a 
hope  that  his  many  friends  will  rejoice  to  see  ful- 
filled.   

In  all  the  lists  of  sires  of  new  2:30  performers  for 
1904,  published  so  far,  the  name  of  Stormy  John  hss 
been  omitted.  A  Fresno  correspondent  writes  us  that 
Stormy  John  is  by  Sidney  Arnett  (sire  of  Joe  Wheeler 
2:07J)  and  is  the- sire  of  Selda  2:20  that  took  her 
record  at  Tulare  last  fall.  We  would  like  to  hear 
from  the  owner  of  Stormy  John  as  to  his  horse's 
breeding  on  the  dam's  side. 


A  five-year-old  mare  by  McKinney  out  of  Eveline, 
the  dam  of  Ole  2:11,  Roblet  2:12,  Tietam  2:19,  Maud 
Fowler  2:21  J  (dam  of  Sonoma  Girl),  McPherson,  trial 
2:14,  etc.,  is  offered  for  sale  by  Thos.  Bonner  of  this 
C'ty.  This  mare  is  not  large,  but  she  is  sound  and  all 
right.  The  great  producing  mare  Green  Mountain 
Maid  was  not  15  hands  high,  but  she  is  the  dam  of  9 
standard  trotter6  and  four  producing  sons,  including 
the  great  Electioneer.  See  Mr.  Bonner's  ad  in  an- 
other column.  

Mr.  W.  H.  Lumsden,  of  Santa  Rosa,  visited  Pleas- 
anton this  week  and  engaged  stall  room  for  his  two 
colts  by  Bonnie  Direct  2:05}  and  bis  stallion  McPher- 
son by  McKinney,  all  of  which  will  be  trained  there 
during  the  comiDg  season.  McPberson  is  a  magnifi- 
cent looking  trotter  with  great  speed  and  while  he 
has  no  record,  is  capable  of  trotting  in  2:10  when  in 
shape.  The  two  youngsters  by  Bonnie  Direct,  are  fine 
lookers  and  good  prospects;  one  a  trotter,  the  other  a 
pacer.  

Brook  Curry  of  Lexington  wants  to  match  his  trot- 
ting mare  Bettie  Brook  by  Silent  Brook  against  any 
five-year-old  mare  in  the  country.  He  suggests  that 
owners  of  five-year-old  mares  6hall  each  make  up  a 
sweepstake  of  $1000  each  and  pull  the  race  off  at  any 
date  on  which  the  majority  agree.  He  calls  the 
special  attention  of  the  owners  of  Sadie  Mac  and 
Senorita  to  this  challenge.  It  might  be  that  Mr. 
James  De  La  Montanya  of  San  Francisco  might  enter 
his  mare  Tuna  2:08J  in  this  race,  and  if  6he  started 
she  wouldn't  be  last.  The  race  would  be  a  big  draw- 
ing card  for  any  track. 


Through  Mr.  S.  Christianson  of  this  city  Mr.  W.  A. 
Clark,  Jr.  has  affected  the  purchase  from  Walter 
Hobart  of  ten  standord  bred  mares  and  colts  as  fol- 
lows: She  2:12*  by  Abbotsford  707,  Hazel  Wilkes 
2:11}  by  Guy  Wilkes,  a  mare  by  Directum  2:05}  out  of 
Tuna  2:12}  by  Ethan  Allen,  Jr.;  two  fillies  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes,  one  out  of  She  2:124;  three  colts  and  fillies  by 
McKiDney  2:11},  one  of  them  a  grand  looking  four- 
year-old  out  of  Hazel  Wilkes,  another  out  of  Tuna. 
The  three  McKinneys  are  to  be  sent  to  Los  Angeles 
where  Ted  Hayes  will  train  them.  The  mares  and 
fillies  will  be  sent  to  Pleasanton  and  bred  to  Strath- 
way 2:19  sire  of  Toggles  2:08J,  John  Caldwell  2:1]}, 
etc.  

One  of  the  world's  records  made  in  1904  was  the 
2:07}  of  The  Monk  and  Equity,  driven  by  their  owner 
C.  K.  G.  Billings,  to  pole  Double  team  driviDg  has 
not  been  very  much  in  vogue  of  late  years.  At  best  it 
is  a  difficult  matter  to  put  together  a  pair  of  horses 
enough  alike  in  gait  and  disposition  to  make  a  pleas- 
ant driving  team,  and  when  in  addition  to  the  quali- 
ties named  a  greet  amount  of  speed  is  essentia],  there 
is  still  further  trouble  in  store.  It  takes  the  patience 
of  Job,  the  purse  of  a  millionaire,  a  first  class  trainer, 
a  good  driver,  and  some  luck  in  Ibe  matter  of  track 
and  weather  conditions  to  bring  about  a  world's 
record  for  double  teams,  and  the  horse  world  owes 
Mr.  Billings  a  debt  of  gratitude  for  what  he  has  done 
in  that  line.  As  a  sort  of  side  line  he  trained  several 
of  his  fast  trotters  under  saddle  and  rode  them  some 
merry  miles,  so  that  as  an  all  around  reinfman  he  un- 
questionably has  the  honors. 


Lost    Check  Recovered. 


On  December  31,  Mr.  C.  A.  Arvedson  of  College 
City,  California,  wrote  his  check  for  $10  and  enclosed 
it  in  a  letter  to  Secretary  Kelley  of  the  Breeders' 
Association,  as  sixth  payment  on  his  colt  Rettus  by 
Sutter,  dam  by  Waldstein,  entered  in  the  Breeders' 
Futurity  to  be  trotted  this  year.  The  letter  did  not 
reach  Mr.  Kelley  and  when  the  list  of  those  making 
payments  was  printed  in  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man, Mr.  Arvedson  wondered  why  his  colt's  name 
did  not  appear,  (knowing  he  had  made  the  payment 
in  time).  Considerable  correspondence  ensued  be- 
tween Mr.  Kelley  and  Mr.  Arvedson,  but  no  trace  of 
the  letter  or  check  could  be  found  until  last  Thursday 
morning  when  Mr.  Downer,  foreman  of  the  BREEDER 
and  Sportsman's  composing  rooms,  opened  out  an 
old  newspaper  exchange  that  had  been  thrown  aside, 
and  from  it  fell  the  letter  written  by  Mr.  Arvedson 
four  weeks  previous.  The  letter  contained  the  check 
and  was  stamped  by  the  Postoffice  as  having  reached 
San  Francisco,  January  1st.  It  had  been  put  into  the 
big  drawer  at  the  Postoffice  among  thelarge  bunch  of 
exchanges  received  that  day  and  lay  between  the 
pages  of  one  of  them  until  Mr.  Downer  luckily  opened 
the  paper  for  the  purpose  of  starting  a  fire.  Had  he 
taken  up  any  other  paper  from  the  pile,  the  letter 
would  probably  never  have  come  to  light.  Probably 
some  of  our  readers  will  see  in  this  event  the  prognos- 
tication of  a  lucky  career  for  Rettus,  and  should  he 
win  the  stakeor  any  part  of  it  the  story  of  the  loss 
and  recovery  of  the  letter  and  money  that  kept  him 
eligible  to  the  stake  will  be  told  many  times.

day  to  9hine.  Tuesday  McBride  was  first  od  Dun- 
gannon and  Dr.  Shorb  J.  Boyd  rode  his  first  winner 
of  the  meeting  on  Gateway  that  afternoon,  and  it  is  to 
be  hoped  this  will  encourage  the  lad  so  that  he  will 
get  into  his  old  winning  stride. 


The  principal  topic  of  discussion  in  turf  circles  dur- 
ing  the  past  week  has  been  the  lack  of  "form"  to  a 
vast  majority  of  the  races  and  the  failure  of  the 
officials  at  Emeryville  to  punish  the  offenders,  chief 
of  which  is  Jockey  Travers,  who  bestrides  horses  for 
Dr  H  E  Bowell.  Last  Saturday  the  Doctor's  good 
bay  mare,  Briers  104  lbs.  up,  ridden  by  Davis  over  a 
muddy  track,  at  a  mile  and  a  sixteenth,  won  pulled 
up  by  four  lengths  from  Dungannon,  which  was  five 
lengths  before  Modicum  (104  lbs).  By  the  chart 
Briers  beat  Modicum  nine  lengths,  in  a  common 
canter,  at  even  weights.  Monday,  over  the  same 
kind  of  course  and  at  the  same  distance,  though  with 
a  difference  in  his  favor  of  six  pounds,  Modicum  beat 
Briers,  with  the  aforesaid  Travers  up,  over  a  length. 
Allowing  that  Briers  had  six  pounds  "up  her  sleeve" 
when  she  defeated  Modicum  on  Saturday,  she  "goes 
back"  some  twenty-seven  pounds  in  a  period  of  two 
days.  The  betting,  too,  indicated  that  the  mare 
would  not  "run  her  race"  on  Monday.  Opening  at  8 
to  5,  thousands  of  dollars  went  in  on  her  chances,  and 
her  odds  were  cut  to  7  to  5.  However,  a  world  of  Modi- 
cum coin  came  in,  his  price  being  forced  from  5J  to 

1  to  4  to  1  by  Dost  time— 18  to  5  in  some  books— while 


Nothing  new  has  developed  in  the  racing  situation 
in  the  Middle  West  and  South   except  that   a  bill  is 
soon  to  be  introduced  in    the   Illinois  Legislature  by 
some  Chicagoan  which  will  cut  off  the  distribution  of 
all  race  track  information  so  far  as  pricesand  changes 
of  prices  are  concerned,  and  the  festive  "tricker"  will 
be  relegated  to  the  junk-shop,  to   the  despair  of  the 
pool-room  king,  Jim  O'Leary.      Newspapers   will  not 
be  allowed  to  print  any  "tips"  either,  if  the  proposed 
bill  becomes  a  law.     In   Missouri  the   official  ax   has 
not  fallen  as  yet,  but  it  is  pretty  safe  to  say  it  will  be- 
fore long,  and  the  "dull  thud"  will  be  particularly 
sickening  to  Messrs.  Cella,  Adler  and  Tilles,  chiefs  of 
the  racing  trust  masquerading  under  the  name  of  the 
Western  Jockey  Club.    The  new  Governor,  Folk,  had 
as  his  chief  opponent  at  thelast  convention, one  Harry 
Hawes,   a   Police  Commissioner  of  St.  Louis,  and  a 
"machine  hand"    for    fair.      Hawes    wanted    to   be 
Governor  himself,  and  did  his  utmost   to  keep  Polk 
from  getting  the  Democratic   nomination.    But  the 
PoIk  tide  was  irresistible,   and   Hawes  went  to  the 
undertaker.     Hawes  and  Cella,  Adler  and  Tilles  have 
long    gene    hand  in-hand,    according    to   those    who 
should  know,  and  one  of  the  best   ways  for  Folk  to 


zigzagging  in  the  last  fifty  yards  and    after  delibera- 
tion, the  heavy  fine   was  imposed. 

There  is  an  unusually  fine  lot  of  three  year-olds  here 
at   present,  and   it  is  doubtful  which  is  the  best,  as 
those  which   have  shown  the  best  form  have  not  met 
as  yet.     A  condition  race  which  would   secure  entries 
from  Gold  Rose,  Descuento  and   Oxford   would   give 
racegoers  an   opportunity  to   compare  the  merits  of 
these  youngsters,  all  of  which  have  shown  remarkable 
speed   and   stamina.    Gold  Rose,  out  of  seven  starts, 
has  been   defeated   but   once,  on  which  occasion   she 
was  left  standing  at  the  post.    Most  of  her  races  have 
been  run  with  light  weight,  but  she  has  shown  a  won- 
derful burst  of  speed  at  all  distances,  and  has  run  the 
fastest   mile  ever  run   in  California  in  a  race.     De8. 
cuentohaswon   all  of  his  four  starts  and  has  won  so 
easily  that  nobody  really  knows  how  good  he  is;  while 
Oxford,  although   twice  defeated   out  of  four  starts, 
has  shown   class  qualities  that   would  entitle  him  to 
consideration  in  any  field  of  horses  which  could  be  got 
together.     Pasadena  has  not  started   as  yet,  but  on 
his  New  York  form  is  entitled  to  rank  with  the  best 
of  them.     Of  the  second  division  the  best  are  probably 
El  Otros,   Capitanazo,   Cutter,  Tramotor,  Blue  Coat, 
Homebred  and  R.  L.  Johnston. 

Probably  the  most  unsatisfactory  thing  connected 
with  racing  in  this  part  of  the  country  is  the  appren- 
tice allowance,  which  is  claimed  indiscriminately  by 
owntrs,  who  many  times  destroy  their  horses  chances 
by  employing  incompetent  pilots  for  the  sake  of  get- 


Briers'  quotations  were  9  to  5  at  the  close,  plenty  of     even  up  the  score  on  Hawes  will  be  to  have  the  present     ting  the  extra  flTe-pound  allowance.    There  are  many 


it,  and  some  pencilers  yelling  to  come  and  get  it. 
Travers  got  off  well  with  Briers,  and  going  past  the 
judges'  stand  was  first,  with  the  boy  "going  down  for 
wraps."  At  the  half-mile  ground  Briers  had  been 
taken  back  until  she  was  absolutely  last.  In  the 
homestretch  she  was  second,  but  in   the  very  deepest 


breeders'  bill  cut  off  the  statute  book.  If  this  is  done 
and  racing  is  limited  to  thirty  days  on  any  track  it 
will  mean  much  to  the  turnstiles  of  the  Mound  City, 
for  they  have  but  three  tracks  in  and  around  St. 
Louis,  and  ninety  days  would  not  satisfy  the  cravings 
of  their  hearts.      Besides,   upon   the  killing  of  the 


of  the  going,  and  so  bad  was  Travers'  exhibition  that  breeders'  law   pool-rooms    would   spring    up  in    the

good  and  experienced  jockeys  here  who  do  not  get  as 
many  mounts  as  they  should  for  this  reason,  and  in 
fact  some  of  the  most  noted  jockeys  in  the  country 
are  walking  round  the  betting  ring  dnring  the  races 
while  a  lot  of  stable  boys  are  doing  the  riding.  It  is 
due  to  the  public  who  like  to  wager  on  the  result  of 
the  races  to  give  them  the  best  to  be  had  for  their 
money  and  something  should  be  done  to  correct  this 
evil.  The  rule  which  would  limit  the  allowance  to  a 
boy  when  riding  for  his  own  stable  only,  would  put  a 
stop  to  the  present  unsatisfactory  state  of  affairs. 

A.  J.  Joyner,  who  trains  and  manages  J.  B.  Hag- 
gin's  horses  on  the  Jockey  Club  tracks  is  here,  and  is  a 
daily  attendant  at  the  track.  It  is  very  gratifying  to 
notice  the  growing  interest  taken  in  winter  racing  by 
horsemen  who  have  heretofore  not  been  disposed  to 
encourage  it.  Geo.  B.  Kelley. 


season,  his  price  being  forced  down  from  4to  1  to  8  to 
5,  the  prices  of  the  supposed  contenders  naturally 
going  back.  The  judges  in  this  case  acted  promptly 
in  suspending  J.  Quinlan's  horses,  pending  investiga- 
tion of  Albemarle's  running.  On  Saturday,  Ishlana 
showed  marked  improvement  in  the  last  race  and 
Stilicho  the  reverse,  and  in  the  second  event  that 
afternoon  Melar,  which  had   just  defeated  Del  Carina 


E.  S.  Paddock,  who  in  years  agone  bred  several 
good  winners  by  Rathbone,  is  again  breeding  horses, 
this  time  at  Concord,  Contra  Costa  county.  He  owns 
the  once  good  race  mare  Francesca  II.,  sister  to 
.Aedaim  and  Royal  Flush,  and  from  her  has  bred  the 
three-year-old  filly  Radiant  by  El  Rayo,  a  two-year- 
old  colt  and  a  yearling  filly  by  Santello.  Loyana  (by 
the  Australian  Loyalist)  is  another  of  Mr.  Paddock's 


and  other  good  ones,  was  beaten  nearly  fifteen  lengths  she  is  the  dam  of  the  promising   two-year-old 

by   The  Reprobate,   and    finished   "outside    of   the 


money."  On  Monday,  Fay  Templeton,  a  heavily 
played  favorite,  wound  up  ninth  in  a  ten-horse  field; 
Hipponax,  another  choice,  eighth  in  a  nine-horse 
race;  Brennus,  a  first  choice,  second;  Theodora  L., 
favorite,  third;  and   Briers  in   the  same  condition  as 


Santee.  Mercedita  by  imp.  Creighton  has  a  yearling 
colt  by  Santello  that  Mr.  P.  is  exceedingly  sweet  on. 
Santello  was  a  very  fast  horse  in  W.  J.  Spiers'  stable, 
and  a  oolt  by  him  from  Loyana  that  the  turfman  lost 
last  winter,  gave  promise  of  being  a  turf  phenomenon. 


Pony  Racing   Next  Saturday. 

The  officers  of  the  California  Polo  and  Pony  Racing 
Association  have  arranged  a  sweepstakes  matinee  of 
racing  to  be  held  on  the  28th  inst.  on  the  private 
track  of  CharleB  W.  Clark  at  San  Mateo. 

The  ponies  have  been  in  training  for  some  time,  and 
this  will  afford  an  opportunity  to  work  them  out  in 
public.  Entries  willcloseon  Wednesday  of  next  week. 
The  entry  fee  will  be  $5,  with  an  additional  $5  from 
non-starters.  The  latter  fee  will  be  exacted  in  an 
effort  to  stop  the  wholesale  scratching  which  has  been 
done  at  recent  meetings. 

One  race  will  be  for  men  who  have  never  ridden  a 
winner  at  this  association's  race  meetings. 

The  association  is  planning  an  ambitious  meeting 
for  February  22d,  when  a  special  programme  will  be 
prepared.    The  forthcoming  matinee  races  are  as  fol-

Tam  O'Shanter  was  brought  up  from  Los  Angeles 
late  last  week,  and  was  the  medium  of  a  regular  swine 
slaughtering  on  Monday.  Getting  away  rather  poorly, 
he  had  headed  the  doggy  Sterling  Towers  before  the 
half  mile  ground  was  reached,  and  from  this  out  it 
was  "no  race,"  the  Kingston-Ben-My-Chree  gelding 
winning  easily  by  three  lengths. 

The  struggle  over  Jockey  Willie  Knapp's  services 
has  resulted  in  a  verdict  for  Puerl  Wilkerson  and  the 
ruling  off  of  Papa  Knapp,  who  swore  he  did  not  sign 
the  contract  in  question.  A  comparison  of  the  signa- 
ture with  that  on  other  documents,  however,  con- 
vinced the  stewards  of  the  Pacific  Jockey  Club  that  it 
was  Mr.  Knapp's  writing.  Walter  Jennings  has 
virtually  made  arrangements  for  the  lad's  services 
until  late  in  March,  when  the  Wilkerson  contract 
comes  to  an  end.  A  peculiar  feature  of  that  docu- 
ment is  that  it  calls  for  a  bonus  of  but  $20  per  month, 
when  as  is  well  known,  a  dozen  different  owners  would 
be  willing  to  give  from  $200  to  $300   per  month   for 

first  call  on  Knapp. 

Just  now  Jockey  McBride  is  more  in  the  public  eye 
than  any  other  boy  riding  at  Emeryville,  except 
possibly  Davis.  On  Saturday  McBride  piloted  The 
Reprobate  and  Ishlana  to  victory  and  was  second  on 
Capt.  Burnett  and  Dungannon.  Monday  he  did  no 
ride  a  winner,  but  was  second  twice.    It  was  Minder's

From  Los  Angeles. 

The  Santa  Catalina  Selling  Sweeptakes,  was  run 
last  Saturday  and  first  money  $1470  was  won  by  Tim 
Payne,  a  four-year-old  gelding  by  Star  Ruby-Lady 
Brig  who  ran  the  fastest  and  best  race  he  has  shown 
here  coming  from  behind  his  field  and  running  the 
seven  furlongs  in  1:25J;  a  new  track  record  and  equal 
to  Geyser's  Coast  record  made  at  Tanforan.  Luckett 
was  second  and  Cerro  Santa  third,  several  lengths 
away. 


Whether  the  horse  interfered  with  any  other  or  not, 
is  a  question,  but  at  all  events,  Sais  and  Elie— both  of

Pacific  Coast  Field  Trials. 


[By  Albert  Betz.] 

The  twenty -second  annual  trials  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Field  Trials  Club  were  held  near  Bakersfield,  Kern 
County,  Cal.,  throughout  the  week  beginning- January 
9,  1905  with  the  following  stakes,  viz: 

Derby,  with  seventeen  starters — Purse  $510,  divided 
50%  to  first,  30%  to  second,  and  20%  to  third.  In  ad- 
dition each  winner  received  a  handsome  and  valuable 
trophy. 

All-Age,  with  twenty  starters  —  Purse  $470, 
divided  50%  30%  and  20%,  and  trophies  to  each 
winner. 

Champion  Stake — Prizes:  Pacific  Coast  Champion 
Cup,  to  he  won  twice  before  becoming  property  of 
owner  of  winner,  and  cup  do — for  runner  up. 

Members' Stake — Prizes:  Trophiesdonated  by  mem- 
bers of  the  club. 

Mr.  Henry  L.  Betten  of  Alameda,  Cal.,  judged  with 
impartiality  and  fairness,  and  his  decisions  were  well 
received.  He  showed  himself  thoroughly  familiar  with 
climatic  conditions  and  the  habits  of  our  birds,  a  great 
advantage  over  an  Eastern  man  unfamiliar  with  our 
conditions  and  birds. 

The  trials  were  the  most  successful  ever  held  by  the 
association.  Conditions  were  perfect,  and  birds  were 
plentiful.  Of  the  seventeen  Derby  starters,  none 
lacked  bird  work  and  none  failed  to  take  advantage  of 
that  fact.  It  is  questionable  if  any  field  trials  has  ever 
disclosed  such  a  splendid  lot  of  Derbies;  not  a  bad  one 
amongst  them.  Ladylike,  winner  of  first,  is  a  worthy 
descendant  of  that  grand  and  consistent  performer, 
Terry's  Lady.  Mariposa,  winner  of  second,  is  a  hand- 
some black,  whiteand  tan  Setter,  and  should  be  heard 
from  in  the  future,  as  likewise  should  Del  Rey  Belle 
and  Chiquita,  awarded  equal  third. 

Harry  H.,  winner  of  first  in  All-Age,  haB  several 
times  competed  in  our  trials  without  being  placed,  but 
has  been  a  winner  in  the  Pacific  Coast  Northwestern 
trials.  He  is  stylish,  a  great  ranger,  and  showed  ex- 
cellent judgment  in  locating  birds. 

Cuba  Jr.,  winner  of  second,  is  well  known  to  field 
trialers,  being  a  winner  not  only  in  our  trials  but  hav- 
ing taken  many  places  in  Eastern  trials  in  his  Derby 
year. 

Jay  M.,  equal  third  with  Ladylike  heretofore  men- 
tioned, is  a  splendid  goer,  and  with  better  bird  work 
will  be  hard  to  beat. 

Dr.  Daniels  in  the  Pacific  Coast  Champion  Stake 
clearly  demonstrated  his  superiority  over  the  dogs 
entered  against  him.  In  this  stake  the  heats  were  of 
two  hours  duration. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  club  was  held  on  Wed- 
nesday evening,  January  11,  and  was  largely  attended.

Cadogan's  Pointer  bitch  Chiquita. 

Mt.  View  Kennels'  Pointer   bitch   Fandango,  a  bye. 

Monday,  January  9,  1905— The  start  for  the  trial 
grounds  was  somewhat  delayed  on  account  of  rain, 
but  at  about  10  o'clock,  there  being  signs  of  clearing, 
a  start  for  the  grounds  was  made  and  the  first  brace, 
Nellie  P.,  handled  by  Chas.  Coutts,  and  Checkmate, 
handled  by  Dodge,  were  cast  off  in  a  field  near  Gosford 
Ranch  at  11:40.  After  running  some  time  Checkmate 
came  to  point,  but  handler  could  not  raise  birds. 
Nellie  P.  soon  caught  scant  and  came  to  point,  steady 
to  shot.  Checkmate  pointed  a  rabbit  and  was  backed 
by  Nellie.  This  was  the  only  work  done  during  the 
heat.  Both  dogs  were  good  goers,  though  Nellie  was 
best  in  range.     Dp  at  12:35. 

Romp  On,  handled  by  W.  B.  Coutts,  and  Modesto, 
handled  by  Babcock,  cast  off  at  12:45.  Birds  were 
flushed  by  spectators  after  dogs  and  handlers  had 
gone  through  them,  and  on  dogs  being  turned  Romp 
On  was  the  first  to  find,  the  bird,  however,  flushing, 
the  dog  being  steady  to  wing.  On  showed  best  in 
range,  though  Modesto  was  a  very  stylish  goer,  but 
was  handicapped  by  reason  of  an  injury  received  the 
day  before.  Romp  again  pointed  and  was  backed  by 
Modesto,  both  steady  to  wing,  the  bird  flushing  some 
distance  ahead.  Modesto  also  came  to  point,  but  a 
rabbit  running  within  a  few  feet  of  her  she  left  point 
and  chased,  soon,  however,  returning  to  handler.  Up 
at  1:25. 

Luncheon  was  then  partaken  of  at  the  Gosford 
Ranch,  and  at  2:40,  the  next  brace:  Romp,  bandied 
by  Fred  Coutts,  and  Sir  Roderick,  handled  by  W.  B. 
Coutts,  were  cast  off.  Roderick  soon  ran  into  a  bevy, 
but  was  steady  to  flush,  and  immediately  afterwards 
came  to  point,  evidently  on  running  birds.  Romp 
also  pointed  and  Roderick  backed  to  command.  Rod- 
erick showed  better  range  and  speed,  and  shortly 
wheeled  into  a  fine  point,  backed  by  Romp,  and  both 
were  steady  to  shot.  Each  had  several  points,  but 
Roderick  had  the  better  of  the  heat.      Dp  at  3:35. 

Burbank,  handled  by  W.  B.  Coutts,  and  Cuba's 
Japan,  handled  by  Dodge  were  cast  off  at  4:05  in  a 
field  below  Canfield  Ranch,  after  birds  had  been 
flushed  from  trees  into  open  ground  with  none  too 
much  cover.  Both  were  good  merry  workers,  Bur- 
bank having  a  shade  the  better  in  range  and  speed. 
Each  dog's  condition  being  right  and  birds  plentiful, 
they  made  a  nuruber  of  points  in  full  view  of  spec- 
tators, though  when  first  put  down  they  unexpectedly 
ran  upon  birds  and  flushed  a  number  before  pointing. 
Both  were  steady  to  shot  and  wing.  Up  at  4:35. 
Last  brace  o '  the  day. 

Tuesday,  January  10. — Rain  had  again  fallen 
during  the  night  but  the  morning  showed  clearing 
weather  and  a  fairly  early  start  was  made.  Weather 
was  cool,  however,  and  the  conditions  most  favorable 

Mariposa,  handled  by  Babcock,  and  Kenwood 
handled  by  Fred  Coutts,  were  cast  off  at  10:15  in  a 
field  known  to  the  old  timers,  as  the  "mule  field" — an 
open  country  with  good  cover  and  birds  plentiful. 
Both  fast,  stylish,  merry  workers  and  good  rangers, 
with  Mariposa  slightly  the  better  in  these  respects, 
but  liking  rabbits.  Soon  after  being  down,  Kenwood 
came  to  point,  backed  by  Mariposa,  but  moved  on, 
then  again  pointed  but  the  handler  could  not 
raise  bird.  Mariposa  was  first  to  find  birds,  being 
steady  to  shot,  four  birds  rising.  Kenwood  pointed 
but  the  bird  flushed,  steady  to  wing.  Mariposa  soon 
dropped  to  point  in  high  cover,  but  moved  on,  again 
dropping  to  point,  the  bird  being  flushed  by  handler. 
Kenwood  made  another  point  from  which  the  bird 
flushed,  steady  to  wing.  Both  missed  opportunities 
to  point.    Up  at  10:55. 

Del  Rey  Belle,  handled  by  Chas.  Coutts,  and 
Youley,  handled  by  Carlisle,  were  cast  off  at  11  a.  m. 
near  where  the  la6t  brace  was  taken  up;  cover  good 
with  birds  in  quantity.  Belle  was  first  to  find,  snap- 
ping into  a  nice  point,  to  which  she  was  steady  to 
shot.  Youley  also  pointed  and  was  backed  by  Belle. 
Both  steady.  Belle  shortly  pointed  a  small  bevy  but 
flushed,  which  was  followed  by  a  point  by  Youley  on 
a  running  bird  to  which  he  was  backed  by  Belle. 
Both  made  several  more  points,  one  by  Belle  being  of 
a  sensational  order.  Both  were  somewhat  unsteady 
at  times.  Belle  having  the  better  of  the  heat,  being 
the  best  goer  and  having  a   high    head.     Up   at  11:35. 

Rival,  handled  by  W.  B.  Coutts,  and  Bolin's  Duke, 
handled  by  Chas.  Coutts,  were  cast  off  at  12  m.  near 
Canfield  vineyard.  Rival  had  been  presented  the  day 
previous  by  J.  E.  Terry  to  Master  Fargo  Rose.  Con- 
ditions in  the  vineyard  were  not  of  the  best,  but  birds 
were  in  abundance.  Duke  was  first  to  point  and  was 
somewhat  unsteadily  backed  by  Rival.  Rival  pointed 
and  bird  flushed,  steady  to  wing.  He  again  pointed 
but  shortly  after  moved  on,  probably  running 
bird,  as  cover  was  sparse.  This  was  repeated 
several  times.  Duke  made  another  point  and  was 
steady  to  shot.  Up  at  12:50  Thence  to  lunch  at 
Gosford  Ranch. 

Ladylike,  handled  by  W.  B.  Coutts,  and  Chiquita, 
handled  by  Lucas,  were  cast  off  at  2:15  in  a  field  east 


of  the  Canfield  schoolhouse,  where  birds  had  been 
found  the  day  before.  Both  were  splendid,  merry 
workers,  wide  rangers  and  gave  the  best  exhibition 
up  to  that  time.  No  birds  were  raised  in  this  field 
but  were  found  in  adjoining  field  where  some  splendid 
work  was  had  to  thedelight  of  the  spectators  Lady- 
like had  six  points  to  her  credit  to  four  for  the  dog 
and  was  steadier  than  the  latter.    Up  at  2:55. 

Fandango,  handled  by  Lucas,  was  cast  off  at  3  P.  M. 
in  same  field  in  direction  where  birds  had  been  seen 
to  go.  When  down  only  a  few  moments  she  ran  into 
birds  and  flushed  small  bevy,  and  was  inclined  to 
chase,  but  was  headed  off  by  handler.  In  addition  to 
being  handicapped  by  deafness  6he  ran  into  a  barbed 
wire  fence  and  injured  herself  so  that  she  waB  out  of 
the  running,  but  held  on  gamely  to  end  of  heat.  Up 
at  3:30. 

This  ended  the  first  series  and  the  judge  stated  that 
he  would  announce  dogs  taken  into  second  series  when 
grounds  on  which  next  brace  was  to  be  run  were 
reached.  The  announcament  was  as  follows— eight 
being  carried  in io  second  series:  Nellio  P.  with  Sir 
Roderick,  Ladylike  with  Mariposa,  Del  Rey  Belle  with 
Burbank  and  Chiquita  with  Cuba's  Japan. 

SECOND  SERIES. 

Nellie  P.-Sir  Roderick— Cast  off  at4  P.  M.  Roderick 
showed  better  range  and  speed,  but  the  bitch  was  not 
far  behind  in  that  respect.  He,  however,  was  inclined 
to  chase  rabbits.  Roderick  was  first  to  find,  and  on 
bird  being  flushed  immediately  made  another,  to 
which  he  was  steady  to  shot.  Nellie  made  one  point 
but  was  outclassed  by  Roderick.     Up  at  4:35. 

Mariposa-Ladylike — Cast  off  at  4:40  in  Section  17. 
This  was  a  fine  going  brace,  wide  rangers  and  fast, 
showing  classy  work.  Lady  soon  came  to  point  under 
a  tree,  and  was  nicely  backed  by  Mariposa.  No  birds, 
however,  were  raised.  When  the  judge  and  riders 
came  to  where  she  had  pointed  birds  were  flushed 
from  trees.  Lady  had  evidently  pointed  on  Bcent 
where  they  had  been  a  short  time  before.  Sent  on 
she  crossed  dry  ditch  and  came  to  a  snappy,  Btylish 
point,  to  which  a  bird  was  flushed,  she  being  steady 
to  shot.  Aside  from  pointing  a  rabbit,  this  was  the 
only  bird  work  done  in  the  heat.  Ladylike  was  bet- 
ter in  speed  and  range.  This  concluded  the  day's 
running. 

Wednesday,  January  11.— Del  Rey  Belle-Bur- 
bank — Cast  off  in  Section  16,  ground  not  heretofore 
run  on.  Both  were  fast  goers,  showing  great  range, 
but  until  on  birds,  ran  as  a  pair,  one  trailing  the  other, 
probably  due  to  their  being  kennel  mates.  Burbank 
was  first  to  reach  birds,  which  were  in  lively  cover, 
but  he  flushed  a  small  bevy,  then  came  to  point  on  a 
single,  which  was  flushed  by  Belle  stealing  in.  Bur- 
bank again  pointed  and  was  backed  by  Belle.  Sent 
on  the  latter  snapped  into  a  fine  point  and  was  steady. 
Another  point  was  made  by  Burbank.    Up  at  10  A.  M. 

One  of  the  Derby  dogs  having  been  forgotten,  sev- 
eral braces  Of  the  All-Age  were  run  before  the  com- 
pletion of  the  Derby,  the  last  brace  of  which,  Chi- 
quita-Cuba's  Japan,  was  cast  off  at  3:40  p.  m.  Japan 
seemed  to  be  "off."  He  did  not  come  up  to  his  race 
of  the  day  before  and  was  greatly  outclassed  by  Chi- 
quita, the  latter  having  four  points  to  the  former's 
two.  Both  somewhat  unsteady.  Chiquita  sustained 
her  pace  and  range  of  the  day  before.     Up  at  4:35. 

At  the  conclusion  of  this  heat  Judge  Betten  an- 
nounced the  vinners  as  follows: 

First— J.  E.  Terry's  Ladylike. 

Second — W.  W.  Van  Arsdale's  Mariposa. 

Equal  Third — Rose  &  Christensen's  Del  Rey  Belle, 
A.  Gregory  Cadogan's  Chiquita.

W.  W.  Van  Arsdale's  Setter  dog  Jay  M.  with  J.  W. 
Flynn's  Pointer  dog  Burbank. 

Wednesday,  January  1 1— The  first  All-Age  brace 
cast  off  was  Keepsake-Kilgarif,  down  at  10:10  in  same 
field  (Sec.  16)  where  first  Derby  brace  of  the  morning 
had  been  run.  Both  were  wide  rangers  and  although 
greatly  unequal  in  size,  Keepsake  being  one  of  the 
smallest  Setters  seen  in  trials,  their  speed  was  about 
the  same.  Kil  was  first  to  find,  pointing  a  running 
bird,  but  holding  his  point.  This  waB  followed  by  a 
point  by  Keepsake,  Kil  backing — both  steady — Kil 
secured  another  point,  being  backed  by  Keepsake, 
and  toward  end  of  heau  the  latter  pointed  in  heavy 
cover,  being  steady  to  shot.  Up  at  11:04.  Keepsake 
handled  by  Babcock,  Kilgarif  by  Coutts. 

Midget,  handled  by  Carlisle,  and  Uncle  Jimmie 
Whitestone,  handled  by  Lucas,  were  cast  off  in  ad- 
joining Section  (171  and  were  at  once  in  birds  before 
finishing  cast.  Both  at  first  ran  through  birds  which 
flushed  all  about.  Midget  was  first  to  find,  dropping 
to  point  and  was  steady  to  shot.  Jimmie  followed 
with  a  point,  but  the  bird  flushed,  the  dog  being  some- 
what unsteady.  Jimmie  was  a  bit  uncertain  in  points 
though  wider  in  range  and  faster,  Midget  being  better 
on  birds.  Both  made  several  points  and  backs, 
Midget  having  the  greater  number  to  her  credit.  Up 
at  12:05.

Faith,  handled  by  Carlisle,  and  Belle  Fontaine, 
handled  by  W.  B.  Coutts,  were  cast  off  in  a  field  south 
of  Frazier's  at  12:40,  and  this  proved  the  only  brace 
throughout  the  trials  finding  no  birds.  Neither  bitch 
was  in  condition  to  run,  and  neither  showed  range  or 
speed.  At  the  conclusion  of  the  heat  lunch  was  par- 
taken of  at  the  Gosford  Ranch. 

Oat  Knoll,  handled  by  Carlisle,  and  Harry  H., 
handled  by  Babcock,  were  cast  off  at  2:25  in  field  be- 
low the  Canfield  Ranch  into  which  birds  had  been 
flushed.  Harry  H.  showed  greater  range  and  more 
speed  than  the  Pointer  and  outclassed  him  in  style  and 
bird  work.  Harry  was  first  to  find,  three  birds  be- 
ing flushed,  and  quickly  dropped  to  another  point, 
being  steady  in  each  instance.  The  Pointer  followed 
with  a  point  from  which  the  bird  flushed  and  he  was 
steady  to  wing.  Each  made  several  more  points  and 
each  on  occasion  backed.  Both  were  steady  to  wiDg 
and  shot,  but  Harry  excelled  in  the  respects  above 
mentioned.  The  bird  work  was  all  done  in  full  view 
of  the  spectators  who  highly  appreciated  the  work  of 
the  dogs.  Up  at  3:10.  This  was  the  last  brace  of  the 
All-Age,  there  being  a  brace  of  Derbies  to  be  run. 

Thursday,  January  12. — An  early  start  was  made 
and  the  first  brace,  Cuba  Jr.  handled  by  Dodge  and 
McCloud  Boy,  handled  by  Babcock  were  cast  off  at  the 
farthest  point  of  the  club's  preserves,  at  9:15  A.  M.  It 
was  known  where  the  birds  lay  and  the  dogs  were  cast 
off  in  another  direction  before  being  put  on  birds. 
McCloud  Boy  was  better  in  range,  speed  and  style,  but 
was  outclassed  by  the  Pointer  in  bird  work.  Cuba 
Jr.  found  first,  pointing  a  small  bevy,  steady  to  shot, 
following  with  a  point  on  a  single  which  flushed. 
These  were  followed  by  several  more  points,  on  one  of 
which  he  was  backed  by  McCloud  Boy.  The  latter  at 
first,  seemed  unable  to  locate  birds,  but  later  made 
two  points,  on  one  of  which  he  broke  in  and  was  in- 
clined to  chase — on  bird  work  the  heat  belonged  to 
Cuba— Up  at  9:55. 

Sombra  handled  by  Coutts  and  Policy  Girl  handled 
by  Lucas  were  cast  off  at  10:15  at  further  end  of  same 
same  field.  Both  were  good  rangers  and  were 
speedy,  although  Policy  Girl  had  some  difficulty  in 
locating  birds.  Policy  was  first  to  come  to  point,  but 
no  bird  could  be  raised.  Sombra  soon  followed  with  a 
point  to  which  she  was  steady,  and  on  another  point 
was  backed  by  Policy  Girl.  Girl  again  pointed,  pre- 
sumably on  running  bird.  Sombra  made  anotherstylish 
point  Deing  steady  to  shot.     Up  at  10:45. 

Count's  Mark,  handled  by  Babcock  with  Glenwood 
handled  by  Dodge  were  cast  off  in  same  field,  but 
failed  to  do  any  bird  work,  although  birds  were  flushed 
by  handlers  and  spectators.  Glenwood  made  one 
point,  evidently  on  running  bird- as  none  could  be 
raised.  Count's  Mark  showed  best  in  range,  style 
and  speed.    Up  at  11:30. 

Valita,  handled  by  Lucas  and  Avalon,  handled  by 
Babcock,  were  cast  off  in  field  adjoining  Canfield 
schoolhouse,  at  11:50  and  after  a  short  run  were  soon 
on  birds.  Both  were  good  workers  and  were  staunch, 
though  Valita  was  scarcely  in  condition  for  a  hard 
race.  Point  after  point  was  made  by  the  dogs,  each 
backing  on  occasion,  and  their  work  was  much  ad- 
mired by  the  spectators.  Avalon  had  somewhat  the 
better  of  the  heat. 

Ladylike,  handled  by  Coutts  and  Mariposa,  handled 
by  Babcock,  were  cast  off  after  lunch,  at  2:15  below 
Canfield  ranch.  Lady  was  first  to  find,  but  the  bird 
evidently  ran  as  her  handler  could  not  raise  a  bird. 
Mariposa  flushed  and  was  steady  to  wing — then  made 
a  long  chase  after  a  rabbit,  and  appeared,  on  his  re- 
turn, the  better  for  it.  Lady  pointed  near  fence, 
backed  by  Mariposa,  but  left  point  as  bird  went 
through  fence.     Up  at  2:57. 

Jay  M.,  handled  by  Babcock  and  Burbank,  handled 
by  Coutts.  Down  at  3:35  in  field  adjoining  Canfield 
schoolhouse  Burbank  was  first  to  point,  but  moved 
on  when  handler  want  in,  and  again  pointed  on  edge 
of  plowed  ground,  and  bird  was  seen  to  flush.  Jay 
M.  pointed  twice  in  quick  order,  Burbank  soon  after 
whirled  to  a  snappy  point  where  bird  had  been  seen 
to  flush.  BurbanK  again  pointed  and  was  backed  by 
Jay  M.  Jay  M.  dropped  to  flush,  Burbank  again 
pointed  in  open  ground,  holding  his  point  until  bird 
was  flushed  by  handler,  and  later  Jay  M.  ran  in  and 
flushed  birds  and  was  steady  to  wing.  Burbank  ap- 
peared to  have  the  better  of  the  heat.  Both  were 
good  rangers  and  were  fast  goers,  Jay  M.  probably 
having  the  better  of  it  in  speed  and  range  Up  at  3:35. 
This  ended  the  first  series  and  after  reaching  new 
grounds  Judge  Betten  announced  the  following  dogs 
taken  into  second  series:  Keepsake  with  Ladylike; 
Cuba  Jr.  with  Harry  H;  Sombra  with  Jay  M;  Avalon 
with  Uncle  Jimmie  Whitestone;  Kilgarif  and  Mariposa 
in   reserve. 

Keepsake-Ladylike — Down  at  4:45  in  Section  17. 
Both  good  goers,  ranging  well  and  showing  great 
speed.  Lady  came  to  point  though  no  bird  was 
raised,  but  was  backed  by  Keepsake.  Later  Lady 
made  point  from  which  bird  was  flushed,  and  the 
heat  ended,  when  almost  dark,  with  no  further  bird 
work. 

Friday,  January  13— The  first  brace,  Cuba  Jr. 
and  Harry  H.,  were  cast  off  at  8:25.  Harry  H.  was 
better  in  range,  style  and  speedrwhile  Cuba  showed 
better  in  bird  work,  little  of  this,  however,  being 
done — Cuba  dropping  to  flush.     Up  at  8:45. 

Sombra-Jay  M. — Down  at  9:15.  Little  bird  work 
was  done  by  this  brace,  Jay  M.  having  the  better  of 
it,  Sombra  not  sustaining  her  previous  performance. 
Up  at  9:50. 

Avalon-Uncle  Jimmie  WhiteBtone — Down  at  10:08 
in  Section  17  Both  dogs  soon  pointed  after  running 
over  birds,  Jimmie  being  steady  to  shot.  Avalon 
pointed,  but  left  point  Uncle  soon  again  pointed, 
and  bird  flushed.  Avalon  also  pointed  but  was  some- 
what unsteady  to  shot.  Uncle  Jimmie  showed  better 
speed  and  range.    Up  at  10:30. 

Keepsake-Ladylike — The  last  brace  of  the  All-Age 
were  put  down  at  Canfield  schoolhouse  at  10:10,  and 
within  a  few  moments  both  came  to  point  within  a 
short  distance  of  each  other.  Ladylike  was  steady  to 
shot,  while  Keepsake  was  inclined  to  chase  when  bird 
was  flushed.    Lady  soon   after  dropped    to   flush  and 


was  steady  to  wing.  Lady  again  pointed,  being 
backed  by  Keepsake.  Lady  once  again  pointed  and 
Keepsake  coming  up  stole  in  and  dropped  as  bird 
flushed. 

This  proved  the  last  brace  of  the  All-Age  and  at  its 
conclusion  Judge  Betten  announced  the  winners  as 
follows:  Harry  H  ,  first;  Cuba  Jr.,  second;  Ladylike 
and  Jay  M.,  equal  third. 

pacific  coast  champion  stake. 

This  stake  had  four  entries,  viz:  W.  W.  Van 
Arsdale's  Pointer  dog  Dr.  Daniels  with  J.  E.  Terry's 
Lady;  Stockdale  Kennels'  Cuba  Jr.  with  J.  E  Terry's 
Kilgarif.  In  this  stake  the  heats  were  of  two  hours' 
duration. 

Lady  handled  by  Coutts;  Dr.  Daniels  by  Babcock, 
down  at  12:10  in  what  is  known  as  the  "mule  field." 
In  this  heat  a  great  deal  of  territory  was  covered  and 
the  dogs  were  down  a  considerable  length  of  time  be 
fore  being  put  on  birds,  in  which  work  as  well  as  in 
staying  qualities,  Dr.  Daniels  greatly  excelled,  doing 
the  better  bird  work,  and  sustaining  his  speed  to  the 
end,  while  Lady  appeared  to  give  out.  In  point  work 
Dr.  Daniels  had  much  the  better  of  it. 

Kilgarif  handled  by  Coutts  and  Cuba  Jr.  by  Dodge, 
were  placed  down  after  luncheon,  whicb  had  been 
brought  to  the  field  in  Section  17.  and  after  working 
out  this  section  for  a  considerable  length  of  time  with- 
out finding  birds,  were  taken  across  into  another  field 
where  birds  were  found  in  quantity.  Both  dogs  went 
well  for  some  time,  but  the  gruelling  heats  which  they 
had  previously  run  in  the  All-Age  soon  told  on  them 
and  they  slowed  up  considerably  toward  the  end  of 
the  heat.  Kilgarif  maintained  much  better  speed  and 
range  than  Cuba  and  both  made  six  or  seven  points 
to  which  they  were  steady.  After  the  two  hours  run, 
the  judges,  H.  W.  Keller,  having  acted  with  Judge 
Betten,  announced  Dr.  Daniels  as  winner  with  Lady 
as  runner  up 

MEMBERS'   STAKE. 

The  drawing  for  the  Members'  Stake  took  place  on 
Friday  evening,  five  entries  being  made,  and  resulted 
as  follows: 

H.  W.  Keller's  Setter  bitch  Sombra  with  J.  W. 
Flynn's  Pointer  dog  Burbank. 

J.  M.  Donley's  Setter  dog  Monterey  (litter  brother 
to  Sombra)  with  Hugh  Hopkins'  Setter  bitch  Rosa 
Ohm.  (The  latter  was  untrained  and  had  never  been 
on  birds.) 

S.  Christensen's  Setter  bitch  Belle  Fontaine  a  bye. 

Ten  dollars  to  enter.  The  prizes  were  a  trophy  to 
each  winner. 

Saturday,  January  15— Sombra,  handled  by  H. 
W.  Keller,  and  Burbank,  handled  by  J.  W.  Flynn, 
were  cast  off  near  Gosford  orchard.  Sombra  did 
nearly  all  the  bird  work,  making  several  points  in  a 
field  where  birds  had  been  flushed  by  riders.  The 
Pointer  raDged  well  but  seemed  unable  to  locate, 
though  he  backed  the  bitch  on  one  of  her  points  in 
the  open  field.  Sombra  had  much  the  better  of  it  in 
bird  work  and  in  range.  This  was  the  best  going 
brace  in  the  stake. 

Monterey-Rosa  Ohm — Handled  by  the  respective 
owners.  Down  in  a  new  section  known  as  the  "cat 
field"  where  birds  were  plentiful.  Monterey,  a  trained 
dog,  made  the  only  points  in  this  heat,  though  his 
range  was  limited.  The  bitch  had  never  before  been 
down  and  had  no  experience  on  birds,  her  owner 
entering  her  merely  to  encourage  the  sport. 

Belle  Fontaine,  handled  by  S.  Christensen  was  the 
bye  dog,  and  at  his  request  Judge  Post  ran  his  bitch, 
Merry  Heart  in  company  with  Belle.  Belle,  while 
ranging  well,  although  down  nearly  an  hour,  and 
having  ample  opportunity,  flushing  many  birds, 
failed  to  make  a  point  while  Merry  Heart  being  un- 
prepared and  heavy  in  whelp  scored  several.  After 
the  dogs  were  ordered  up,  the  Judge  announced  his 
decision  as  follows:  First,  Sombra;  second,  Burbank; 
third,  Monterey. 

This  ended  the  most  successful  trials  ever  run  by 
the  association  and  was  probably  the  best  field  trials 
run  in  the  country  during  a  year  past.

Western  Field;  silver  cup,  J.  H.  Schumacher. 

Champion  Stake— Cup  donated  by  W.  S.  Tevis; 
cup  by  W.  E.  Gerber  for  runner  up.  These  trophies 
are  to  be  won  twice,  by  owner  of  winner,  to  entitle  per- 
manent ownership.  .         . 

The  method  of  distribution  of  the  pnzeB  in  the 
various  events,  excepting  the  Championship  Stake, 
was  by  choice,  the  winning  owners  selected  the 
trophies  in  the  order  of  precedence  by  wins. 

Wm.  Dormer  asked  for  a  price  on  Mariposa  before 
the  Derby  was  run.  Mr  Van  Arsdale  offered  to  take 
S150  for  the  Setter,  the  offer  was  closed  by  Mr. 
Dormer,  who  surely  became  the  owner  of  a  high  class 
English  Setter  for  an  exceeeingly  small  sum.  Mr. 
Van  Arsdale's  liberality  in  the  sale  is  in  keeping  with 
his  reputation  as  a  thorough  sportsman.  He  knew 
what  Mariposa  was  but  concluded  to  let  him  go  for 
the  reason  that  he  had  more  dogs  in  his  kennels  than 
he  cared  for. 

Jos.  E.  Terry  was  so  impressed  with  the  enthusiasm 
and  brightness  of  young  Fargo  Rose  that  he  presented 
him  with  a  corking  good  Setter,  Rival  a  Derby  dog, 
on  the  field.  ______ 

The  arrangements  carried  out  by  the  club  officials 
this  year  won  warm  encomiums  from  the  sportsmen 
in  attendance  at  the  trials. 


The    Origin   and   Development  of  the  Pointer. 

Who  has  not  heard  of  the  Pointer,  and  where  IB  the 
Bportsman  that  has  not  gloried  in  Mb  outline,  his 
speed,  his  nose,  his  beauty  and  his  intelligence?  In 
the  northern  country  to-day,  where  the  sportsman  is 
afield,  he  is  the  apple  of  his  eye,  the  most  worshipped 
of  all  the  gun  dogs.  For,  like  the  Spaniel,  the  Pointer 
s  everywhere.  England,  once  the  hotbed  of  the 
good-looking  pointing  dogs,  may  at  the  present 
moment  not  be  able  to  hold  her  ownin  bench  Pointers 
with  America  and  Russia,  but  still  she  retains  the 
working  strains  that  have  graced  the  kennel  of  gen- 
eration after  generation  of  the  Squirearchy  of  the 
other  side.  The  slow,  slobbering  Pointers,  or  dogs 
asked  to  find  partridges  to  be  flown  at  Falcon  in  the 
early  part  of  the  season,  have  given  way  to  the  more 
elegant  Pointer — beautifully  modelled  creature  such 
as  we  often  see  in  the  field  and  in  the  exhibition  ring, 
so  writes  Fred  Freeman  Lloyd. 

The  evolution  of  the  Pointer  from  what  may  he 
described  as  the  bloodhoundy  type  to  the  modern 
English  Foxhound  kind  has  taken,  perhaps,  close  on 
one  hundred  and  fifty  years.  He  is  essentially,  above 
all  others,  a  dog  of  utility,  and  as  the  Pointer  has 
always  been  looked  upon  as  one  of  the  chief  helpmates 
of  the  man  who  loves  to  take  his  pleasure  behind  a 
well-broken  brace  of  dogs,  a  pair  of  barrels  and 
straight  powder,  it  stands  to  reason  that  that  man 
has  called  in  all  his  ingenuity  and  all  his  knowledeg 
of  breeding  to  provide  himself  with  a  sporting  dog 
that  is  best  adapted  for  the  sport  that  is  provided  for 
him.  Therefore,  in  some  places  in  America,  where 
the  plains  are  so  vast,  a  very  fast  and  wide-ranging 
Pointer  is  required — one,  too,  with  ''bird  sense." 
Where  true  ranging,  a  good  nose  and  staunchness  on 
game  are  to  be  found  embodied  in  one  single  dog, 
there,  perhaps,  have  we  found  the  perfect  animal,  and 
a  retrieving  Pointer  at  that. 

The  universality  and  utility  of  the  Pointer  is 
patent.  Some  of  us  have  shot  over  him  in  many 
countries,  and  strange  ones,  too.  On  hot  and  arid 
-  continents,  such  as  Africa  and  Australia,  I  have  found 
him  to  be  able  to  go  a  considerable  time  without 
water.  The  veldt  has  been  as  hard  as  brick,  and  the 
Darling  Downs  of  drought-stricken  Queensland  have 
gaped  and  cracked  in  supplication  for  rain,  but  the 
Pointers  went  about  their  allotted  tasks  with  the  on- 
thusiasm  of  the  second  season  dog  at  the  dawn  of  the 
first  of  September  in  more  privileged  parts  north  of 
the  equator. 

As  in  other  breeds  of  dogs,  there  are  all  sizes  and 
Borts  of  Pointers.  The  short-headed,  cloddy- 
shouldered  and  often  weak-thighed  and  cow-hocked 
Pointer  haB  gone  by  the  board.  It  stands  to  reason 
that,  although  the  cart-horse  can  gallop,  he  cannot 
gallop  with  the  thorough-bred — the  clean-necked, 
oblique-shouldered,  deep-hammed,  live  racing  ma- 
chine. Half  a  day  of  real  going  will  knock  up  the 
heavy-headed,  loose-throated  Pointer.  He  has  had 
to  give  way  to  the  more  elegant  quantity;  but  even 
such  as  he  should  not  be  too  small.  You  are  likely  to 
lose  sight  of  him  in  any  cover  of  note,  and  that  is  not 
as  it  should  be.  At  the  leading  shows  in  the  United 
States  the  Pointer  dogs  are  divided  by  weights,  as 
are  the  bitches.  There  are  classes  for  dogs  under  55 
pounds,  and  for  dogs  55  pounds  and  over;  for  bitches 
under  50  pounds  and  for  bitches  50  pounds  and 
over. 

There  can  be  little  doubt  that  English  Foxhound 
blood  was  intioduced  into  the  Pointer,  and  we  are 
told  that  subsequently  the  progeny  was  bred  in  and 
in.  It  will  be  found  in  Vol.  II  of  Taplins'  Sporting 
Dictionary,  published  just  one  hundred  years  ago, 
that  the  writer  of  the  Pointer  contribution  had  a  deal 
to  say  about  the  Foxhound  cross.  So  fast  was  the 
Pointer  of  his  day  (1803)  that  in  many  caseB  we  are 
told  that  the  galloping — nay,  coursing  qualities — of 
the  Foxhound  proper  were  so  pronounced  that  a  badly 
broken  or  ill-mannered  Pointer,  such  as  he  was  then, 
could  run  into,  and,  of  course,  kill,  a  leveret  three 
pa**ts  grown.  Now  we  all  know  the  speed  of  the  hare, 
he  >v  she  will  twist,  turn  and  swerve,  using  all  her 
st^ed,  activity  and  cleverness  that  often  more  than 
kes  an  exhibition  of  a  good  greyhound.  Without 
e  stamina  of  lepus  timidus  in  the  consciousness  of 
<■  prime,  it  will  be  admitted  that  a  leveret  can  travel 


pretty  fast,  so  the  Pointers  of  a  century  ago  must 
have  been  fast  enough  even  for  our  friends  in  the 
West. 

One  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  Pointers  entirely 
white,  or  with  liver-colored  spots,  were  hardly  ever 
seen.  There  was  a  strain  owned  by  the  then  Duke  of 
Kingston,  and  those  were  black  and  white.  They 
were  considered  superior  to  any  dogs  then  in  England, 
and  at  the  death  of  their  owner  they  were60ld,  and 
brought  fabulous  priceB.  There  are  strains  of  all 
liver  and  of  all  black  Pointers  in  England,  America, 
and  South  Africa  today.    They  are  highly  prized. 

Certainly,  one  of  the  best  Pointers  it  has  ever  been 
my  good  fortune  to  look  over  was  a  liver  dog — Bent- 
ley's  Nap — the  property  of  E.  J.  Pullinger,  one  of 
Johannesburg's  (Transvaal)  gold  kings.  Perhaps  a 
little  short  in  head,  his  Nap  was  nearly  all  a  Pointer 
should  be— standing,  as  he  did,  on  fore  legs — as 
straight  as  corduroy,  and  these  let  into  nice,  sloping 
shoulders  that  in  their  turn  had  afore  them  a  neck 
that  was  long,  well-poised,  clean,  round  and  free  from 
hang  or  leather;  his  body  was  short,  deep  and  rounded. 
There  was  the  spring  of  rib  and  width  and  keel  of 
brisket  and  frame  that  gave  him  heart  and  lung  room. 
Day  in  and  day  out  Mr.  Pullinger's  dog  would  go  with 
almost  the  speed  of  a  Greyhound,  and  with  the  deter- 
mination of  a  devil.  Down  his  back,  along  his  spine, 
was  a  suspicion  of  a  groove,  that  ended  with  his  wide 
and  muscularloins,  the  middlepiecethat  kept  together 
the  propelling  powers  of  his  deep,  long,  muscled  and 
sinewed  hams  and  thighs.  Travel  with  me  with  your 
mind's  eye  to  his  well-bent  stifles  and  let-down  hocks, 
as  free  in  their  movement  and  as  strong  withal  as  the 
hinges  on  a  bank  safe.  Have  we  finished  with  him? 
Nay!  Glance  for  a  moment  at  his  cat-like  feet,  bent, 
strong  knuckles,  and  pads  as  pliable  yet  as  lough  as 
rubber;  his  stern  set  on  in  the  right  place,  somewhat 
thick  at  the  butt,  and  tapering  to  the  point  like  an 
otter's  poll.  In  Buch  as  he,  have  we  well  nigh  the 
perfect  pointing  dog. 

The  Pointer  is  considered  a  gentleman's  dog  when 
he  is  steady  to  bird,  dog  and  gun.  Of  course.it  is 
not  meant  to  convey  that  such  a  dog  Is  only  fit  for 
those  sportsmen  who  live  and  have  their  being  in 
high  places — far  from  such  a  thought  for  a  millionth 
part  of  a  moment.  But  the  man  who  goes  abroad  and 
seeks  his  pleasure  with  his  gun  and  his  Pointer  knows 
fnlly  well  that  a  half-broken  dog  is  an  abomination. 
The  eye  delights,  the  heart  throbs  with  joy,  the 
senses  tingle  with  gratification  at  the  sight  of  a  good 
dog  at  work.  He  will  Btand,  and  stand  steadily  when 
the  wind  bears  down  to  him  the  sought-for  scent  of 
his  game;  he  will  back  if  the  other  dog  gets  the  point; 
he  will  point  instantaneously  when  he  sees  the  other 
pointing;  he  will  not  stir  from  his  point  upon  the  firing 
of  any  gun  in  company,  provided  the  game  is  neither 
sprung  nor  started,  at  which  he  made  his  original 
point. 

A  hundred  and  twenty  or  thirty  years  ago  breaking 
a  Pointer  or  Setter  to  point  was  looked  upon  as  a 
mysterious  business.  It  can  be  easily  imagined,  as 
men  were  not  foolB  even  in  those  days,  that  those  who 
knew  all  about  it  kept  the  so-called  secret  to  them- 
selves. They  would  hardly  be  expected  to  tell  the 
wondering  yokel  that  pointing  game  was  as  natural, 
or  perhaps  we  might  say,  as  hereditary  to  the  point- 
ing dog  as  was  hunting  and  watering  to  the  Spaniel, 
ratting  to  the  Terrier,  coursing  to  the  Greyhound,  or 
fighting  to  the  fighting  dog.  Yet  so  it  is,  and  Pointers 
bred  from  broken  or  trained  parentB  are  more  t  ractable 
than  those  whose  parents'  lives  have  been  spent  among 
the  somewhat  veneered  existence  of  show  life,  or  the 
unspeakable  horrors  of  the  city  back  yard. 

Discipline  is  required  in  a  Pointer — discipline  that 
is  not  welted  into  him  by  the  aid  of  a  heavy  whip  or 
thrice-wicked  shod  foot.  Teach  him  as  a  puppy  to 
drop  to  hand  when  you  require  him  to  do  so;  show 
him  game,  encourage  him  to  draw  on  to  the  birds, 
drop  him  with  studied  severity  when  the  birds  flush, 
never  minding  about  your  hag  (which  might  be  after 
all,  but  your  own  greed),  and  you  will  not  be  far  from 
possessing  what  every  one  in  the  world  is  after,  and 
that  is  a  Pointer  that  shall  be  a  credit  to  you  and  the 
talk  of  your  county.  As  in  the  days  of  the  falconer 
and  the  times  of  the  netter,  so  must  the  Pointer 
always  remain  one  of  the  greatest  of  blessingB  at  the 
beck  and  call  of  the  sportsman  afoot,  after  winged 
and  certain  kindB  of  furred  game. 


bait  and  hook  so  strenuously  that  the  barbed  steel 
had  to  be  cut  out  of  the  fish's  stomach. 

One  reason  alleged  why  striped  bass  are  so  plenti- 
ful at  all  times  in  San  Antone  slough  is  that  the  set 
net  fishermen,  who  illegally  anchored  their  nets  at  the 
mouth  of  Petaluma  creek,  have  been  discouraged  by 
several  recent  seizures  of  their  tackle. 

P.  J.  Walsh  of  Black  Point,  who  is  a  deputy  fish 
commissioner,  discovered  and  captured  two  immense 
nets  within  the  past  two  months.  One  of  these  nets 
was  over  a  mile  in  length,  and  held  down  by  a  number 
of  heavy  fluked  mud  anchors;  the  other  was  about 
half  a  mile  in  length.  The  value  of  the  seized  nets 
was  nearly  $1,000.  The  confiscated  fishing  gear  was 
taken  to  Petaluma  to  await  the  claim  of  owners  who 
were  willirg  to  plead  guilty  and  pay  the  usual  fine  for 
fish  law  violations  of  this  character.  The  largest  net 
taken  weighed  oown  a  four-ton  salmon  boat  until  the 
gunwales  were  about  eight  inches  above  the  water's 
surface. 

After  the  nets  were  set  out,  the  fishermen,  to  avoid 
observation,  would  anchor  their  boat  off  in  the  bay  a 
mile  a  way.  This  trick  was  for  the  purpose  of  evad- 
ing arrest  by  being  caught  in  the  act  of  illegal  net 
fishing.  The  nets  were  so  placed  as  to  leave  the  chan- 
nel open  for  the  passage  up  and  down  the  creek  of  the 
steamer  and  sailing  craft. 

The  fishermen  had  been  in  the  practice  of  setting 
out  the  nets  in  the  evening  on  a  flood  tide.  In  this 
manner  fish  going  up  stream  were  captured,  and  on 
the  out-going  ebb  bass  coming  down  with  the  tide 
would  find  their  way  to  the  bay  barred  by  the  deadly 
set  net,  thus  the  poachers  made  a  double  haul  of 
striped  bass.  The  time  for  gathering  of  the  spoils 
was  during  low  tide,  when  the  net  was  lying,  with  its 
finny  victims  enmeshed,  high  and  dry  on  the  long 
stretch  of  mud  flat.  The  fishermen  have  a  board  con- 
trivance, with  a  barrel  or  large  box  setting  upon  it, 
similar  in  devise  to  the  "clamboard"  used  by  Chinese 
clam  diggers.  The  dead  wagon  is  propelled  rapidly 
over  the  slippery  mud  alongside  the  serpentine  length 
of  the  collapsed  net.  from  which  neither  ducks  nor 
fish  can  escape.  The  fish  caught  are  then  disengaged 
from  the  gill  me6hes.  Any  of  the  large  bass  that 
show  signs  of  life  are  knocked  on  the  head  with  a 
hammer,  for  handling  a  ten  or  fifteen  pound  bass  in 
sticky,  knee  deep  blue  mud  is  not  a  safe  adventure, 
for  these  fish  are  armed  with  spiny  dorsal  and  pectoral 
fins  that  can  make  cruel  wounds  in  hands  that  are 
careless,  or,  for  that  matter,  the  spines  will  easily 
pierce  through  a  gum  boot. 


Striped  Bass  Notes. 

Devotees  of  striped  bass  fishing  have  found  most  of 
the  nearby  favorite  salt-water  fishing  resorts  de- 
cidedly non-productive  recently,  with  the  agreeable 
exception  of  San  Antone  slough.  On  this  prolific  basB 
confluent  of  Petaiuma  creek  results  have  been  most 
encouraging — in  fact,  a  day  on  this  water  is  found  to 
be  worth  the  trip  to  BurdellB.  On  the  8th  inst,  about 
thirty  fishermen  were  out  in  boats,  tempting  the  wary 
fish  with  succulent  clams. 

One  of  the  best  catches  made  during  last  week  was 
on  Thursday,  when  A.  M.  Cumming  landed  a  dozen 
fish,  four  of  the  bass  weighing  over  fity  pounds. 
Among  the  other  and  successful  rodsters  out  on  that 
day  were  Frank  Marcus,  Mr.  Johnson  and  A.  S. 
Church,  whose  largest  bass  weighed  164  pounds. 

The  weather  was  extremely  cold  on  Thursday,  a 
week  ago,  which  condition  of  temperature,  it  was  be- 
lieved, had  a  corresponding  effect  on  the  fish,  instead 
of  taking  the  baits  with  a  nibble  or  two  followed  by  a 
rush,  the  fish  seemed  to  cautiously  mouth  the  bait 
before  quietly  engorging  it,  this  in  a  manner  not  made 
apparent  to  the  angler  by  the  usual  signals  from  be- 
low. After  a  fish  would  swallow  the  bait  it  moved 
away  very  slowly,  and  a  number  of  fish  were  very 
securely  hooked  before  the  angler  was  aware  of  his 
luck.    Several  bass  caught  were  found  to  have  taken 


Steelhead  Angling  Notes. 

The  rod-weilding  fraternity  of  this  city,  those  of 
them  that  visited  Point  Reyes  up  to  Friday  of  last 
week,  had  excellent  sport  with  the  fresh  run  of  big 
steelhead  trout  that  recently  swam  in  from  the  ocean 
waters  and  took  up  temporary  position  in  the  tide 
water  pools  of  Paper  Mill  creek  awaiting  opportunity 
for  a  trip  up  stream  to  spawn.  This  chance  came 
with  the  recent  rainfall  that  raised  the  stream  and 
stopped  temporarily  further  sport  for  the  anglers. 

The  sport  commenced  about  a  week  previous,  when 
a  number  of  nice-sized  fish  were  taken.  Among  the 
catch  was  a  nine-pounder  landed  by  Frank  Dolliver. 
On  Sunday  last  "Del"  Cooper,  J.  M.  Thomson,  James 
Lynch,  "Pop"  Carroll,  Bert  Spring,  Joseph  Pincus 
"Abe"  Banker  and  Frank  Rompf  found  the  stream 
conditions  almost  ideal  for  steelhead  angling.  Cooper 
hooked  a  big  trout  on  a  spoon  Tho  fish,  however, 
broke  loose  after  a  hard  struggle.  The  fisherman 
then  rigged  up  with  bait  and  had  another  unavailable 
argument  with  the  same  fish.  Bert  Spring  prospected 
the  pool  and  finally  landed  the  battling  trout,  which 
scaled  nearly  ten  pounds  and  was  found  to  be  a  female 
fish  full  of  roe.  Carroll  hooked  an",  landed  a  twelve 
pounder,  which  proved  to  be  a  "spent"  fish.  Another 
angler  caught  an  eight-pound  "buck"  trout  near  the 
bridge. 

Dolliver  and  Banker  fished  the  "White  House" 
pool  on  the  following  Monday  afternoon.  Two  mon- 
ster trout  cleaned  out  their  tackle  in  short  order.  A 
couple  of  nice  fish  were  then  landed,  after  which  ex- 
perience the  two  anglers  were  once  more  robbed  of 
their  running  gear,  Dolliver  breaking  -a  stout  green- 
heart  rod  as  well. 

On  Tuesday  S.  A.  Wells,  Bert  Spring  and  Clarence 
Ashlin  tried  the  stream.  Notwithstanding  that  most 
of  the  fish  previously  noticed  in  the  pools  had  evi- 
dently gone  out  with  the  tide,  Spring  landed  a  ten 
pound  fish  after  a  grand  fight.  Wells  shortly  after- 
ward succeeded  in  bringing  a  fourteen  pounder  to 
gaff.  This  fish  was  taken  on  a  No.  4  brass  Wilson 
spoon.  Ashin,  although  he  had  several  strikes,  was 
unlucky  and  failed  to  connect. 

John  Butler,  Charles  Linn  and  son,  John  Schloen, 
Mr.  Gordon  and  Mr.  Dougal  landed  several  fish  on 
Thursday.  Besides  the  large  fish  above  mentioned,  a 
considerable  number  of  smaller  fish  were  taken. 

Despite  the  threatened  storm  which  sent  the  fisher- 
men home  on  Friday  last  week-,  a  number  of  the 
"regulars"  were  at  the  Point  last  Sunday. 

Fishing  for  steelhead  will  be  over  on  February  1. 
A  close  season  will  then  prevail  until  April  1.  It  is 
lawful  now  to  catch  steelhead  in  tide  waters  only, 
despite  the  statutory  permission  to  fish  for  the 
present  in  tide  water/many  violations  of  the  law  have 
been  reported  as  taking  place  in  the  Paper  Mill  above 
the  tide  water  limit  by  parties  who  spear  fish.  This 
unsportsmanlike  method  is  claimed  to  be  one  of  annual 
recurrence  in  that  section. 

The  Russian  river  near  Duncans  is  reported  to  be 
still  too  high  and  muddy  for  good  fishing.  This  re- 
sort is  a  favorite  one  with  many  anglers.  If  there  is 
a  chance  for  any  sport  before  the  close  season  prevails 
a  number  of  local  anglers  propose  to  give  the  stream 
a  final  test.

THE   FARM. 


New  Association  Organized. 


The  California  Live  Stock  Sanitary 
Association,  an  organization  composed 
of  the  different  official  veterinarians 
throughout  the  State,  and  whose  object 
is  to  have  passed  bills  to  aid  the  cattle- 
growers  of  the  State,  came  into  existence 
Monday  afternoon  at  the  Palace  Hotel. 
Sixteen  veterinarians,  representing  coun- 
ties from  every  section  of  the  State,  were 
present  beside  a  number  of  stock  men, 
who  were  not  eligible  to  membership,  but 
who  made  talks  and  offered  advice. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by 
Charles  Keane,  who  is  responsible  for  the 
existence  of  the  association,  and  who 
acted  as  chairman  pro  tern,  until  C.  L. 
McGowan,  city  veterinarian  for  Sacra- 
mento, was  elected  president  The  offices 
of  secretary  and  treasurer  were  comb  ned 


the  association  are  to  De  $2  a  year.  After 
the  by-laws  have  been  adopted  the  com- 
mittee was  empowered  to  frame  a  consti- 
tution and  to  present  it  at  the  next  meet- 
ing. 

After  the  association  had  been  formally 
organized  Charles  Keane  read  a  bill  which 
is  to  be  presented  at  the  present  session 
of  the  Legislature.  The  bill  provides  that 
the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  all  counties 
be  empowered  to  appoint  county  veteri- 
narians, at  a  salary  to  be  determined  by 
the  Board  of  Supervisors.  In  speaking  of 
the  bill  Keane  said:  "It  is  vital  for  the 
health  of  any  community  that  a  regular 
veterinarian  be  appointed,  with  power  to 
condemn  diseased  animals,  especially 
milch  cows,  one  of  the  greatest  causes  for 
the  spread  of  tuberculosis.  In  many  of 
the  counties  this  office  does  not  exist,  and 
it  is  for  this  purpose  that  the  present  bill 
is  offered."  Keane  said  that  Senator 
Lynch  of  San  Luis  Obispo  county  had 
promised  to  father  the  bill. 

The  meeting  closed  with  the  reading 
and  diBCUBsion  of  two  papers,  one  on 
"Glanders,"  by  Dr.  T.  Carpenter  of  Ala- 


The  Perchekon  Stallion  "Fresno" 


into  one  and  were  given  to  Keane.  A 
committee  of  five  to  arrange  the  constitu- 
tion and  bylaws  for  the  organization  was 
elected  as  follows:  The  president,  the 
secretary,  Dr.  E.  A.  Archibald  of  Oak- 
land, Dr.  George  Baker  of  San  Francisco 
and  Dr.  F  M-  Sawyer  of  Bakersfield. 

After  the  committee  was  elected  a 
recess  of  ten  minutes  was  taken  and  a  set 
of  by-laws  was  drafted.  The  by-laws 
stated  that  the  meetings  are  to  take  place 
on  the  second  Tuesday  in  December  of 
each  year;  that  the  officers  are  to  be 
elected  for  one  year  and  that  the  dues  of

It  does  no  harm  to  cover  milk  after  it 
is  cool,  warm  milk  should  be  left  un- 
covered until  it  has  cooled  to  at  least  50 
degrees. 


It  seems  impossible  to  obtain  milk  ab- 
solutely free  from  bacteria  This  is 
probably  right,  as  the  presence  of  the 
bacteria  causes  it  to  clabber  and  the 
cream  to  rise.

The  Salivary  Cure. 


"Your  horse  is  off  his  feed  a  little," 
said  the  veterinary  surgeon.  "Give  him, 
for  a  week  or  two,  his  hay  and  oats  on 
the  ground  instead  of  from  a  stall.  That 
will  put  him  on  his  feet,  I  think." 

"I  shall  follow  your  advice,  sir,"  said 
the  owner  of  the  horse  "but  at  the 
same  time  I  must  admit  that  I  fall  to  see 
the  logic  of  it." 

"The  logic  of  my  advice  is  clear,"  the 
surgeon  asserted.  "The  natural  way  for 
a  horse  to  eat  is  off  the  ground,  is  it  not? 
The  iiorse  is  a  grazing  animal;  the  wild 
horse,  going  from  pasture  to  pasture,  ate 
from  the  ground  only  and  always. 

"It  follows  that  the  modern  horse  is 
fitted  to  eat  best  from  the  ground.  It  is 
only  when  eating  with  the  head  lowered 
in  this  manner  that  the  animal's  saliva 
flows  as  freely  as  it  should.  Let  your 
horse  eat  from  the  ground  awhile — give 
him  what  we  may  call  the  salivary 
nature  cure — and  I  guarantee  that  in  a 
week  he  will  be  well  again." — Exchange. 


Secret    or   Danish    Butter    Making 


are  not  allowed  to  wear  sleeves  below  the 
elbow.  They  wear  white  linen  caps  and 
aprons,  and  must  not  only  wash  the  bag 
of  the  cow,  but  also  wash  their  own 
hands  before  milking,  each  time. 

Everything  fed  the  cow  is  prepared 
with  great  care — the  quality  and  quan- 
tity is  known,  as  nearly  as  possible.  In 
the  pastures  every  weed  is  pulled  and 
the  cow  is  not  permitted  to  eat  anything 
that  will  in  any  way  taint  the  milk. 

The  cream  is  carefully  pasteurized. 

In  short,  the  secret  of  Danish  butter- 
making  is  perfect  cleanliness  and  eterna 
vigilance,  hut  the  result  is  a  product 
that  will  go  through  the  tropics  or  the 
circumpolar  region  and  come  out  stand- 
ing up. — C.  A.  Harrison  in  Farm.  Jour- 
nal. 


The  DaneB  love  their  cows  and  give 
them  every  comfort;  and  the  cows,  not 
to  be  outdone  in  devotion,  do  their  very 
best.  All  the  stables  I  visited  were  fire- 
proof, had  concrete  floors,  and  there 
was  water  so  arranged  that  everything 
could  be  washed. 

Each  Btall  had  a  tablet  with  the  name 
of  the  cow,  date  of  birth,  pedigree,  etc. 
There  was  also  a  slate  on  which  a  daily 
record  was  kept. 

If  a  cow  is  sick  she  is  at  once  separ- 
ated from  the  other  animals  and  taken 
to  the  hospital.  It  is  a  crime  in  Den- 
mark to  use  or  sell  milk  from  a  sick  cow. 

The  milking  is   done  by   women  who 


When  the  cream  is  perfectly  ripened 
before  churning  the  churn  gets  out 
more  of  the  fats  and  the  buttermilk 
carries  away  less. 

Although  Jerseys  are  disposed  to  breed 
very  young,some  prefer  that  they  should 
not  come  fresh  until  two  or  two  and  a 
half  years  old. 


It  is  sometimes  difficult  to   know  just 
where  to  lay  the   responsibility  of  the 
dirt  in  the  milk  pail.   It  must  come  from 
the  body  of  the  cow  or  the  milker.

Profitable  Milk  Production. 


When  the  dairy  doctors  disagree  about 
the  amount  of  digestable  protein  needed 
to  form  a  perfect  milk  ration,  then  the 
farmers  must  experiment  and  decide  for 
themselves.  The  amount  of  protein 
which  the  chemist  finds  in  a  quart  of 
milk  may  not  be  in  the  exact  proportion 
required  for  the  cow's  perfect  ration  to 
produce  the  largest  quantity  of  milk  at 
the  smallest  coaBt  of  feed.  The  cow  has 
constantly  some  needs  of  her  own  to  sup- 
port her  animal  system  and  repair  the 
wastes  of  her  body  as  well  as  to  provide 
milk  which  nature  .intended  for  the 
calf. 

John  Gould  truly  says:  "The  whole 
thing  hinges,  not  on  what  the  tables  say, 
but  on  the  feeder's  judgment,  so  that  the 
most  milk  can  be  obtained  at  the  least 
cost."  That  is  the  whole  truth  in  a  nut- 
shell, and  Bhould  be  framed  under  glasB 
and  hung  up  in  the  cow  stable.  1 

Oats,  because  they  are  such  a  handy 
and  healthy  grain  to  feed  horses,  always 
command  a  higher  price,  relatively,  than 
any  other  grain  fed  to  stock.  Mr.  Gould 
is  aware  of  this,  but  says,  "I  do  not  hesi- 
tate to  make  the  (cow's)  ration  one-fourth 
oats,  whatever  the  cost."  The  writer  has 
fed  cows  on  corn,  rye,  oats  and  buckwheat 
ground  together  in  equal  quantities  by 
weight,  and  then  fed  the  same  cows  an 
equal  quantity  of  other  ground  grains 
with  the  oats  left  out,  and  no  apprecia- 
ble difference  in  the  milk  yield  was  ap- 
parent. 

A  dairyman  in  Orange  county,  New 
York,  who  kept  over  forty  cows,  told  me 
he  fed  large  quantities  of  brewer's  grains; 
that  they  produced  a  large  flow  of  milk; 
but  he  rather  thought  the  milk  thin,  and 
did  not  contain  much  cream.  However 
he  was  not  sure  of  this,  as  he  sold  all  his 
milk  in  New  York,  and  bought  his  butter. 
Wheat  bran  alone  is  a  poor  cowfeed,  and 
cows  will  refuse  it  after  eating-  a  few 
messes.  I  have  found  wheat  bran,  and 
corn  meal,  mixed  in  equal  quantities  by 
weight,  to  be  a  good  milk  producer, 
whether  it  be  a  well  balanced  ration  or 
not.  Cornmeal  is  supposed  to  be  too 
fattening  for  cows  in  milk,  but  the  gen- 
erous giver,  or  deep  milker,  ought  to  have 
some  fattening  food  to  prevent  her  from 
losing  flesh  during  the  period  of  greatest 
flow. 

r  Prof.  E.  W.  Stewart  contended  all  his 
life  that  there  was  no  way  by  which  so 
mucb  of  the  value  of  grain  could  be 
obtained  as  by  grinding  it  fine,  and  mix- 
ing it  thoroughly  with  cut  hay,  stalkB  of 
Btraw,  moistened  with  water  to  make  the 
meal  stick.  This  way  of  feeding  makes 
more  labor,  but  the  extra  labor  pays,  and 
the  best  results  in  any  kind  of  business 
cannot  be  obtained  without  painstaking 
and  more  labor.     Better  farming  pays. 

The  writer  has  tried  his  cattle  with  the 


cut  feed  many  times,  and  iB  convinced 
that  Professor  Stewart's  contention  is 
true.  Two  winters  ago,  owing  to  the 
scarcity  of  hay,  our  cows,  young  cattle 
and  horses  were  kept  almoBt  entirely  on 
cut  straw  and  meal,  with  which  they  were 
so  we'l  satisfied  that  they  would  eat  little 
hay  when  given  to  them.  The  cows  never 
gave  more  milk  on  the  same  quantity  of 
grainfed  alone.  There  is  nothing  won- 
derful about  this.  Reason  and  experi- 
ment agree.  When  the  particles  of  meal 
are  stuck  fast  to  the  pieces  of  Btraw  they 
form  a  mass  that  nearly  fills  the  stomach, 
so  that  each  particle  of  meal  has  a  chance 
to  come  in  contact  with  the  absorbent 
vessels,  and  the  greatest  portion  of  the 
nutriment  is  appropriated.  On  the  other 
hand,  when,  say,  five  quarts  of  meal  are 
fed  alone,  it  does  not  become  to  well  dif- 
fused throughout  the  stomach,  is  apt  to 
remain  in  a  body,  or  several  bodies,  and 
much  of  it  passes  away  without  having 
its  valuable  properties'  extracted  and  re- 
tained. 

It  does  not  pay  to  feed  cows  all  the 
grain  they  will  eat  without  becoming 
clogged,  any  more  than  it  pays  a  man  to 
overload  his  stomach  with  rich  food. 
When  dairy  products  are  dear  and  grain 
cheap,  it  will  do  to  be  liberal  with  the 
cows,  but  not  to  encourage  gluttony.  Of 
course,  some  cows  will  endure  and  re- 
spond to  high  feeding  better  than  others, 
but  I  have  found  that  four  quartB  of  good 
meal,  fed  twice  a  day  to  each  cow,  is 
about  as  much  as  can  be  profitably  fed. 

The  question  whether  cows  should  have 
their  rations  increased  to  prevent  shrink- 
age depends  on  the  kind  of  feed  they 
have  been  supplied  with,  and  the  size  of 
the  ration.  If  the  ration  has  been  meagre, 
then  an  increase  would  no  doubt,  increase 
the  flow,  or  prevent  shrinkage,  and  prob- 
ably be  profitable.  The  ration  that  has 
been  found  to  produce  the  most  milk  at 
the  least  cost  should  be  the  standard, 
just  as  bread  and  butter  are  the  standard 
at  the  farmer's  table ;  but  cows,  like  hu- 
man beings,  are  fond  of  an  occasional 
change  in  their  diet,  and  will  welcome 
some  side  dishes,  relishes  and  dessertsi 
and  pay  for  the  favor  in  something  more 
tangible  than  gratitude. 

I  have  practiced  winter  dairying,  and 
agree  that  the  best  time  to  have  cows 
calve  is  in  October  or  November.  Dairy 
products  are  always  the  highest  in  winter. 
The  cows  must  be  kept  well  aiyhow,  and 
if  fresh,  will  pay  for  the  extra  grain  feed 
required  and  leave  a  good  profit  besides. 
Furthermore,  cows  that  calve  in  the  fall 
will  increase  their  milk  when  they  come 
to  grass,  and  their  milk  seaBon  is  consid- 
erably extended.— J.  W.  Ingham,  in

A  New  Sheep  Danger. 

The  annual  report  of  the  Bureau  of 
Animal  Industry,  now  going  through  the 
government  print  mill,  contains  a  note  on 
the  bladder  worm  in  sheep.  Daring  a 
recent  trip  to  Montana  by  the  acting 
zoologist  of  this  Bureau,  specimens  of  a 
bladder  worm  were  obtained  from  the 
brains  of  a  sheep  which  seemB  to  be 
identical  with  the  gid  bladder  worm 
Coenurus  cerebrelis,  of  Europe,  and  it 
produced  similar  symptoms.  This  bladder 
worm,  the  adult  stage  of  which  (Taenia 
coenurus)  lives  in  the  intestines  of  doge, 
is  very  common  in  the  Old  World,  and  is 
one  of  the  niOBt  dangerous  and  destructive 
parasiteB  with  which  sheep  may  be 
affected.  A  few  years  ago  it  was  said 
that  1,000,000  sheep  die  from  it  annually 
in  France,  and  the  losses  in  German}'' 
have  been  put  at  15  per  1000  in  the  first 
year  of  life,  5  in  the  second  year,  2  in  the 
third  year,  and  1  in  the  fourth.  In  Eng- 
land, although  the  parasite  seems  to  be 
less  common  than  formerly,  the  mortality 
at  times  in  some  flocks  is  as  high  as  35 
per  cent.  The  on'y  practical  treatment 
lies  in  prevention,  which  consists  prin- 
cipally in  keeping  dogs  free  from  tape- 
worms by  frequent  dosings  and  by  pre- 
venting them  from  eating  the  uncooked 
brain  or  spinal  cord   of  infected   Bheep. 


Until  the  present  time  no  well  established 
cases  have  been  reported  from  the  United 
States,  which  is  rather  remarkable  in  the 
face  of  numerous  importations  from 
Europe  both  of  sheep  and  dogs,  some  of 
which  must  certainly  have  been  infected. 
Although  the  conditions  existing  in  this 
country  are  perhaps  unfavorable  to  the 
parasite,  so  that  it  has  been  unable  to 
gain  a  foothold,  and  although  so  far  it 
may  have  caused  little  damage,  its  pres- 
ence here  is,  nevertheless,  a  constant 
menace;  and  there  is  danger  that,  if  un- 
checked, it  will  in  the  future  become  as 
serious  a  pest  in  the  United  States  as  it  is 
in  Europe.  It  is  therefore  important  that 
a  careful  investigation  of  this  parasite  be 
made  in  this  country,  and  that  thorough 
measures  be  taken  to  prevent  its  dis- 
semination. —Texas  Farmer. 


No  country  and  no  product  is  exempt 
from  its  off-season.  As  a  rule,  a  kind 
Providence  smiles,  opens  His  hand  and 
supplies  the  want  of  every  living  thing, 
and  such  is  the  diversity  of  crop  that 
everything  is  "off." 


If  possible  every  farm  should  have  a 
milk  house  in  which  the  milk  can  be 
kept,  the  churning:  done,  the  milk  ves- 
sels kept,  and  plenty  of  water  with 
which  to  cool  the  milk  and  wash  the 
vessels. 


The  tail  is  an  indication  of  breed.  A 
short,  heavy  tail  at  the  top  and  tapering- 
to  a  small  brush  does  not  indicate  a  pure 
bred.  But  a  long,  heavy  tail  with  a 
large  brush  indicates  a  good  dairy  type. 


Tho  farmer  is  fortunate  who  has  a 
wood  lot.  He  can  spend  much  of  his 
time  there,  when  little  else  can  be  done. 
It  will  pay  to  have  leaf  mould  and 
spread  it  on  the  ground  anywhere. 
o — 

Milk  may  be  cooled  by   pouring  from 
one  vessel  to  another,  by  setting  in  cold 
water  or  placing  on  ice.     The  more  rap- 
idly it  is  cooled  the  more  cream  rises. 
o 

A  new  remedy  for  the  kicking,  .cpw  is 
suggested.  Tie  her  foot  from  above  so 
it  will  barely  touch  the  floor.

One  great  reason  for  poor  crops  is  the 
lack  of  preparation  of  the  seed  bed. 
Gardens  bear  larger  crops  in  proportion 
than  fields.  The  season  is  that  the  soil 
is  carefully  pulverized  and  the  crop 
more  thoroughly  cultivated.  Every 
field  should  be  like  a  garden. 
o 

Stumps  may  be  easily  burned  out  by 
turning  a  sheet-iron  easing  over  them, 
in  such  a  shape  that  it  will  create  a 
draft.  Unless  it  splits  too  hard,  consid- 
erable mav  be  taken  off  the  sides  with  a 
maul  and  wedge. 


There  is  at  least  one  good  advantage 
in  keeping  cows,  and  that  is  if  the  milk 
cannot  be  turned  into  butter  or  cheese 
profitably,  it  can  in  nearly  all  cases  be 
fed  to  pigs  and  calves  with  profit. 
o 

Dairy  cows  have  the  ability  to  make 
pretty  good  milk  when  drinking  pretty 
bad  water.  They  would  drink  more 
water  and  make  more  and  better  milk  if 
they  had  better  water  to  drink.     Try  it.

AT  A  MEETING  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Associa- 
tion held  in  this  city  last  week  the  question  of  District 
Fairs  for  the  State  of  California  was  discussed,  and  as 
it    was   the  unanimous   opinion    of  the    Board    that 
properly  conducted  fairs  are  of  great   value  to  the 
State,  it  was  decided  to  appoint  a  committee  to  go  to 
Sacramento  and  consult  with  the  Governor  in   regard 
to   the   restoration    of  the    appropriations    formerly 
made  to  aid  these  institutions.      The  committee  con- 
sisted of  President  E.  P.  Heald  and  Directors  Col.  J. 
C.   Kirkpatrick,    I.  L.  Borden,  Frank    H.  B'irke  and 
Geo.  W.  Kingsbury,  and  Wednesday  of  this  week  was 
appointed  as  the  day  for  the   trip.       Owing  to  illness 
Messrs.  Burke  and  Kirgsbury   were   prevented    from 
accompanying    the    committee,    but    Messrs.    Heald, 
Kirkpatrick  and  Borden  went  to   Sacramento  on  the 
day  selected,  where  they  were  met  by  Senator  Ben  F* 
Rush,  of  Solano  county,  who  had  kindly  made  an  ap- 
pointment with  Govei-nor   Pardee  for  a  conference. 
The  Governor  expressed  himself  to  the  committee  as 
strongly  favoring  district  fairs,  believing  them  to  he 
valuable  as  educators.    He  thought,   however,  that 
the  present  number  of  46  districts  could   be  reduced 
materially    with   benefit   to  all.     The   main   question 
with  the  Governor,  however,  was  a  financial  one.    He 
favored  appropriating  money  for  the  fairs  if  the  State 
Treasury  contained  sufficient  coin,  after  more  neces- 
sary  things   were    provided    for.       President   Heald 
states   that   the   Governor  gave  the  committee  a  very 
pleasant  and  cordial  reception,  as  well  as  much  of  his 
valuable  time  and  displayed   no  antagonism  wba  ever 
to  properly  conducted  district  fairs.    This  is  encour- 
aging and  it  now  remains  for  the  breeders,  farmers 
and  fruit  growers  of  the  State   who   favor  these  fairs 
to  unite  on  some  plan  that  will  meet  with  the  endorse- 
ment of  the  Legislature  and  the  Governor  and  see  that 
it  is  passed  at  this  session.    The  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  has 
shown  commendable  enterprise  by  sending  its  com- 
mittee to  Sacra_nento   and  is   ready   to   aid  in  every 
honorable  way,  any  measure  that  will  re-establish  the 
district  fairs  which  were  once  so  popular  in  California 
and    which    have  done  so  much  for  the  breeding  and 
agricultural  interests  of    the    State.       Its    directors 
are    ready     to     give     their    time    without    pay    to 
the     furtherance    of    any    plan    which    the    district 
boards      or     the    breeders    and      farmers      of    the 
State  think  just  and  practicable,  by  which  annual  ex- 
positions   of     the  State's    products    can     be     again 
resumed.     It   has  been  suggested   that   the  districts 
remain  as  at  present  constituted  and  that  one-half  of 
them  give  fairs  on   alternate  years.     This   would  re 
quire  only  one-half  the  former  appropriation.     An- 
other suggestion  is  that  the  State  be  re-districted  and 
the  number  of  districts  reduced  to  eight  or  ten.     It  is 
said    that  the  State  of  Ohio   has  a  law  by  which  the 
district   fairs  receive  direct  State  aid,  the  amounts 
being  provided  for  in  the  State  levy  of  taxes,  and  that 
the  law  is  popular  with   the  people.     It  may  be  that 
such   a  law   would   meet  the  approval  of  the  Legisla- 
ture and  the  Governor.     There  are  many  suggestions 
that  can   be  offered,  but  the   main  thing  now  is  to 
organize  a  body  that  will  take  energetic  action  on  tbe 
best  measure  and    work  for    its   adoption.      There 
should   be  a  gathering  of  those  most  interested  in 
district  fairs,   comprising    cattle,   sheep,   swine  and 
and  horse  breeders,  farmers  and  fruit  growers,  manu- 
facturers and  miners,  and  all   others  who   know  that 
annual  exhibits  of  their   products  are   profitable  to 
them  and  to  the  entire  State,  and  when   a  measure  is 
agreed  upon  it  will  not  be  such   a  difficult  matter  to 
secure  its  adoption.

Sacramento  News. 


Breeder  and  Sportsman— L.  M.  Clark  of  this 
city  had  the  misfortune  to  lose  his  fine  bay  stallion 
Ouiboul  2:22J  January  19th,  the  horse  falling  and 
breaking  his  neck  in  his  stall.  Ouiboul  was  by  the 
great  and  handsome  stallion  Stamboul,  and  was  con- 
sidered a  most  promising  sire,  as  bis  colts  were  fine 
lookers.  His  death  is  a  severe  loss  to  Mr.  Clark  who 
will  have  the  sympathy  of  horsemen  and  breeders  in 
general. 

Great  interest  is  manifested  by  the  Sacramento 
people  as  well  as  others  throughout  the  State  in  re- 
gard to  the  sale  of  the  old  and  the  building  of  a  new 
agricultural  park  and  race  track  here,  and  we  are  all 
hoping  the  bill  will  pass  providing  for  the  new  build- 
ings and  that  work  will  be  started  soon. 

A  few  of  the  horsemen  are  still  holding  fort  at  the 
historic  old  grounds,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
the  buildings  are  being  torn  do  no,  and  while  there  is 
a  scene  of  desolation  due  to  the  removal  of  buildings 
and  the  piling  up  of  debris,  it  makes  one's  blood  tingle 
to  recall  the  races  where  jockeys  and  drivers  and 
horses  were  straining  every  nerve  to  reach  the  wire 
first.  It  is  pleasant  at  times  to  think  of  by  gone  days, 
the  soul  stirring  finishes  and  to  hear  again  the  shouts 
of  the  multitude  as  its  favorite  dashes  to  tbe  wire  and 
snatcheB  the  crown  of  victory  from  tbe  jaws  of  defeat. 

Among  those  who  are  still  occupying  stalls  here 
at  presentare  Walter  Mastin  with  Falrose'2:19,  Marvin 
Wilkes  (3)  2:18,  Penrose  and  others.  S.  U.  Mitchell 
has  Peter  J.  and  others,  Chris.  Jorgenson  has  quite  a 
string,  A.  Mastin  is  looking  after  theinterests  of  John 
A.  2:123,  Sir  Carlton  and  a  few  more,  Vet  Tryon  has 
quite  a  number  and  Mr.  Steward  several.

ing filly  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  to  J.  C.  Montgomery  of

Lou  Milton's  Dam  Again  Identified. 

Fly,  the  Ralston  mare  that  was  bred  to  Milton 
Medium  and  produced  Lou  Milton,  dam  of  Lou  Dillon, 
has  again  been  identified  and  has  a  new  pedigree. 
This  time  the  story  comes  through  the  Horse  Review, 
of  Chicago,  which  devotes  a  page  to  it.  Our  friend 
Jacob  Brolliar,  of  Hanford,  owner  of  My  "Way  2:20, 
the  gray  filly  that  was  a  good  second  to  Priskarina 
2:13|  in  the  Breeders  Futurity  pacing  stake  for  three- 
year-olds  last  year,  has  furnished  the  information  to 
the  Review  that  may  lead  to  Fly's  breeding  being 
established.  The  letter  which  appeared  in  the  Review 
of  January  17th  is  as  follows: 

Visalia,  Cal.,  Jan.  8,  1905. 
Editor  Horse  Review.  Chicago,  111: 

The  return  of  the  trotting  queen,  Lou  Dillon,  to  her 
native  heath  reminds  me  of  my  pencil  notes  made 
last  summer  while  out  doing  the  California  races.  It 
seems  strange  that  after  all  the  research  of  the  great- 
est writers  and  pedigree  experts  of  America  should  be 
in  vain  to  establish  the  breeding  of  the  trotting  queen, 
that  I  should  accidentally  hit  upon  a  chain  of  evi- 
dence that  can  establish  in  full  and  beyond  a  reason- 
able doubt  the  breeding  of  the  dam  of  Lou  Milton, 
dam  of  Lou  Dillon. 

Some  time  during  my  stay  at  San  Jose,  Mr.  Martin 
Carter,  owner  of  Nutwood  Wilkes  Stock  Farm,  in- 
troduced me  to  the  veteran,  Frank  Taylor,  of  Ala- 
meda avenue,  San  Jose.  Mr.  Taylor  invited  me  to 
his  home  to  see  a  colt,  I  having  told  him  that  I  was 
on  the  lookout  for  something  for  a  sire.  After  an  in- 
spection of  his  stock,  we  repaired  to  his  hospitable 
home,  and  while  there  I  incidentally  picked  up  a 
Murphy  stock  catalogue  and  noticed  Lou  Milton's 
name  in  a  tabulated  pedigree  and  remarked  that  it 
was  a  pity  her  dam's  breeding  was  unknown.  To  my 
surprise  Mr.  Taylor  answered  that  "it  is  known." 

But  before  going  farther  with  this  history,  (for  such 
it  is),  I  propound  this  question  for  the  benefit  of  the 
reader:  Who  is  Mr.  Taylor,  and  by  what  authority 
does  he  speak?  Mr.  Taylor  and  the  late  Orrin  Hickok 
were  both  race  riders  and  intimate  friend  sin  boyhood, 
Eickok  being  in  the  employ  of  Mr.  William  Maxwell, 
an  owner  of  runners.  Later  Mr.  Hickok  came  to  Cali- 
fornia and  induced  Mr.  Maxwell  to  come  to  the  Coast 
to  engage  in  the  livery  business  with  him.  With  this 
object  in  view  Mr.  Maxwell  brought  Fly — dam  of  Lou 
Milton— and  Gypsy  with  him;  but,  being  dissatisfied 
with  the  prospect  for  a  livery  business,  he  sold  Fly 
and  Gypsy  to  Mr.  Ralston  and  returned  to  his  old 
home  in  Wisconsin.  Mr.  Taylor  was  acquainted  with 
Mr.  Maxwell,  also  knew  Fly  and  Gypsy.  He  saw  and 
talked  with  Mr.  Maxwell  after  his  disposal  of  them  tc 
Mr.  Ralston,  and  after  his  return  to  Wisconsin.  Mr. 
Taylor  says  that  it  is  well  known  that  Flying  Cloud, 
sire  of  the  once  sensational  Badger  Girl,  sired  both 
Fly  and  Gypsy.  If  I  remember  correctly,  Powell 
Bros.,  of  Beaver  Dam,  Wis.,  owned  Badger  Girl.  She 
and  the  mares  Fly  and  GypBy  were  all  sired  by  Flying 
Cloud,  a  trotting-bred  horse  brought  from  Ohio  to 
Dodge  county,  Wisconsin. 

Only  a  few  weeks  ago  I  returned  to  San  Jose,  and 
again  meeting  Mr.  Taylor,  I  told  him  I  waB  on  my 
way  to  the  Green  Meadows  Stock  Farm  at  Santa  Clara 
to  get  Hambletoniac  Wilkes,  I  having  bought  him. 
Mr.  Taylor  insisted  upon  driving  me  over  in  his  buggy, 
a  distance  of  about  three  miles.  During  the  trip,  this 
same  question  came  up  again  when  he  told  me  once 
more  of  an  old  horseman  still  living  at  Beaver  Dam 
who  knew  the  breeding  in  full  of  Fly,  and  was  to  give 
me  his  name,  but  in  my  hurry  to  get  Wilkes  ready 
for  shipment,  I  forgot  to  get  his  address.  Mr.  Tay- 
lor is  but  nine  years  a  resident  of  California;  his  home 
prior  to  coming  here,  being  in  IndianapoliB,  Ind.  He 
has  taking  no  notice  of  the  controversies  going  the 
rounds  of  the  horse  papers  a  year  ago,  being  devoted 
almost  entirely  to  other  business  interests,  but  he 
promised  me  that  he  would  give  me  or  any  one  who 
desired  it,  information  sufficient  to  establish  Fly's 
breedingin  full.  I  am  fully  satisfied  that  Flying  Cloud 
is  the  Bire  of  the  dam  of  Lou  Milton.  Anyone  desiring 
further  information  can  obtain  it  by  addreBsing  Mr. 
Frank  Taylor,  Alameda  Ave.,  San  Jose,  Cal. 

Jacob  Brolliar. 

There  is  one  thing  about  Mr.  Taylor's  story  which 
makes  it  bettbr  than  any  of  the  other  numerous 
attempts  to  identify  her — it  is  an  actual  identification. 
He  says  her  name  was  Fly  when  she  was  brought 
here,  states  who  brought  her  to  California,  where  she 
came  from  and  her  sire.  The  Horse  Review  is  in  cor- 
respondence with  Mr.  Taylor  and  will  no  doubt  get 
much  more  information  about  the  matter  that  will  at 
least  be  interesting  reading,  and  we  hope  it  will  be 
able  to  unearth  facts  that  will  be  complete  and  be- 
yonii  question  in  regard  to  the  matter.  If  it  does, 
Mr.  Brolliar  and  the  Chicago  paper  will  be  entitled  to 
much  credit. 

The  fact  is  that  Mr.  A.  McFadyen,  who  owned  Lou 
Milton  and  bred  Redwood  2:2H,  Ethel  Mack  2:25  and 
others  from  her,  made  an  effort  twenty  years  ago  to 
ascertain  her  pedigree  but  was  unable  to  trace  it  as 
all  the  parties  here  who  knew  anything  of  it  were 
dead.  Mr.  Taylor  was  not  a  resident  of  California  at 
that  time  and  it  may  be  that  he  is  the  very  man  who 
can  furnish  the  facts  that  will  lead  to  the  establish- 
ment of  Lou  Milton's  pedigree.    We  hope  so,  at  least. 


Fastest  Horse  of  McKinney. 

As  all  our  readers  know  Budd  Doble's  great  race 
trotter,  Kinney  Lou  2:07|  is  the  fastest  entire  son  of 
McKinney,  a  distinction  that  has  been  and  will  be 
taken  into  consideration  by  California  breeders  who 
are  looking  for  sons  of  that  horse  to  send  their  mares 
to  this  year.  Kinney  Lou's  reputation  as  a  race 
horse  was  thoroughly  established  when  he  went 
down  the  Grand  Circuit  of  1903,  a  sick  horse,  and 
finished  a  winner  of  $11,450.  As  a  sire,  his  reputation 
has  yet  to  be  made,  but  the  reports  from  Tehama 
county  where  he  made  one  season  and  part  of  another 
are  such  that  it  is  safe  to  predict  that  he  will  have  rep- 
resentatives in  the  list  this  year,  as  the  ihree-year-olds 
by  him  are  showing  natural  speed  of  a  high  order  and 
are  described  as  grand  looking  youngsters  and  all 
trotters.  Kinney  Lou's  seasons  in  Tehama  county 
were  very  limited  but  he  got  nearly  every  mare  with 
foal  and  some  four  or  five  of  the  three-year-olds  are 
now  being  trained  on  the  Red  Bluff  track.  Ihe  first 
year  after  Mr.  Doble  purchased  him,  Kinney  Lou  was 
taken  Ea,6t  and  raced.  Last  year  he  was  in  the  stud 
at  San  Jose  and  served  41  mares  and  in  nearly  every 
instance  the  mares  are  safely  in  foal.  This  year  the 
horse  will  again  be  in  the  6tud  to  July  1st,  and  after 
that,  Mr.  Doble  may  take  him  East  again  as  Kinney 
Lou  is  able  to  win  in  hiB  class  and  reduce  his  record. 
He  is  from  race-winning  and  producing  families  on 
both  sides.  Hfs  sire  is  beyond  all  question  the  great- 
est of  trotting  sires,  as  no  other  stallion  that  ever 
lived  has  accomplished  what  he  has  in  the  stud.  He 
has  not  only  sired  the  champion  race  trotting  mare  of 
the  world,  but  is  also  the  sire  of  the  champion  five- 
mile  trotter,  the  champion  green  trouting  stallion, 
and  of  eleven  2:10  performers  at  seventeen  years  of 
age,  a  record  unapproachable  by  any  other  horse.  He 
is  the  greatest  son  of  Alcyone,  that  was  for  his  oppor- 
tunities, the  greatest  son  of  Geo.  Wilkes  as  well  as  the 
greatest  son  of  that  greatest  of  all  brood  mares, 
Alma  Mater.  On  his  dam's  side  Kinney  Lou  comes 
from  a  distinguished  family  and  carries  a  double  cross 
of  the  Morgan  blood  that  is  coming  to  the  front  in 
such  great  trotters  as  Tiverton,  2:04J;  Sweet  Marie, 
2:04|  and  others.  Kinney  Lou's  dam  was  that  old 
time  favorite  on  California's  tracks,  Mary  Lou,  2:17, 
whose  gameness  and  speed  won  many  hard  races  and 
who  was  never  beaten  until  the  wire  was  reached  as 
she  fought  for  the  lead  every  inch  of  the  way,  and 
tried  again  as  often  as  asked.  Mary  Lou  was  by  Tom 
Benton  and  her  dam  Brown  Jenny,  was  the  dam  also 
of  Shylock  2:15}  and  Ned  Winslow,  pacer,  2:12|. 
Both  these  brothers  to  Mary  Lou  were  race  horseB 
like  her.  Game  as  a  pebble  and  with  wonderful 
powers  of  endurance,  they  won  some  of  the  hardest 
fought  races  trotted  and  paced  on  this  coast  in  their 
day.  Brown  Jenny  was  by  David  Hill,  Jr.,  a  producing 
son  of  the  producing  sire  David  Hill  857,  that  was  by 
Black  Lion,  a  son  of  Black  Hawk  5,  he  by  Sherman 
Morgan  and  he  by  the  original  Justin  Morgan.  The 
third  dam  of  Kinney  Lou  was  by  McCraoken's  Black 
Hawk  767,  a  son  of  Black  Hawk  5.  It  will  be  noticed 
that  there  are  two  crosses  to  Black  Hawk  5,  in  Kinney 
Lou's  dam,  and  as  this  Morgan  blood  is  becoming 
more  highly  prized  every  year,  the  opportunity  to 
get  it  through  a  son  of  the  great  McKinney,  and  that 
son  the  fastest  of  his  trotting  sons,  is  one  that  should 
not  be  allowed  to  pass.  Kinney  Lou  will  make  the 
season  of  1905  at  San  Jose  on  the  same  terms  as  last 
year  and  those  interested  Bhould  send  to  Budd  Doble 
for  a  card  containing  the  horse's  tabulated  pedigree 
and  picture,  together  with  much  valuable  information 

in  regard  to  him.

In  Twenty  Years. 

It  was  not  until  the  year  1884  that  a  2:10  light- 
harness  performer  appeared,  and  in  that  year  there 
were  three  horses  that  entered  the  list,  and  then 
there  was  a  break  and  no  more  2:10  performers  ap- 
peared un.il  1890,  in  which  year  there  appeared  three 
more,  but  since  the  latter  year,  they  have  been  com- 
ing pretty  strong  in  numbers  as  figures  show.  The 
additions  to  the  2:10  list  for  the  years  named  are  as 
follows:  1891,  sixteen;  1892,  twenty;  1893,  twenty-five; 
1894,  thirty-three;  1895,  sixty-two;  1896,  forty-eight; 
1897,  sixty-six;  1898,  sixty-one;  1899,  seventy;  1900, 
seventj-nine:  1901,  sixty;  1902,  ninety-seven;  1903, 
ninety-six;  1904,  one  hundred  and  four.  Up  to  date, 
the  total  number  of  2:10  performers  iB  eight  hundred 
and  forty-three,  and  of  this  number  two  hundred  and 
twenty-two  are  trotters  and  six  hundred  and  twenty- 
one  are  pacers. — Spirit  of  the  West. 


Diablo  in  the  Stud  at  Woodland. 


The  breeders  of  California  are  fortunate  that  the 
great  race  horse  and  sire  Diablo  2:09},  sire  of  twelve 
2:15  performers,  will  make  the  season  of  1905  in  this 
State,  returning  after  an  absence  of  two  seasons  in 
Oregon.  He  will  be  located  at  Woodland,  where  for 
two  years  he  was  the  most  popular  stallion  in  the 
Sacramento  Valley,  and  where  there  are  now  a  large 
number  of  very  promising  two  and  three-year-olds  by 
him  in  training.  Our  readers  will  remember  that 
William  Murray,  who  owned  Diablo,  took  the  great- 
est son  of  Charles  Derby  to  Oregon  two  years  ago, 
and  that  Mr.  Murray  contracted  pneumonia  and 
died.  Since  that  time  Diablo  has  been  in  charge  of 
Mr.  C.  D.  Crookham,  a  brother-in-law  cf  Mr.  Murray, 
who  has  returned  the  stallion  to  Yolo  county  where 
he  will  make  the  season  of  1905. 

Diablo  gained  a  distinction  last  year  which  few 
stallions,  if  any,  ever  before  achieved.  In  one  day, 
on  the  same  track,  two  of  his  get  entered  the  2:10  list. 
This  happened  at  the  Breeders  meeting  at  Santa 
Rosa,  when  Tom  Carneal  and  Daedalion  both  won 
their  races  and  took  records  of  2:08}  and  2:10  respec- 
tively. Diablo  is  the  sire  of  the  following  members  of 
the  2:15  list,  viz.:  Sir  Albert  S.  2:03|,  Clipper  2:06, 
Diablito  2:08},  Tom  Carneal  2:08},  Daedalion  2:10, 
Diodine  2:10},  Diawood  2:11,  El  Diablo  2:11},  Tago 
2:11},  Hijo  el  Diablo  2:11},  Rey  del  Diablo  2:14},  and 
Inferno  2:15.  This  is  an  array  of  fast  ones  that  stamp 
him  as  one  of  the  leading  sires  of  speed  in  California. 

The  wise  breeder  always  looks  for  a  stallion  bred  in 
producing  lines,  and  Diablo  is  one  of  this  sort  par 
excellence.  His  sire  Charles  Derby  is  the  Bire  of  four 
2:10  performers,  his  grandsire  Steinway  has  five  in 
the  2:10  list  and  his  great  grand  sire  Strathmore  has 
founded  one  of  the  greatest  of  the  families  founded 
by  sons  of  Hambletonian  10,  as  it  was  from  the  Strath- 
more line  that  Lou  Dillon,  the  first  2:00  trotter  came. 
Bertha,  the  dam  of  Diablo,  is  the  greatest  living 
broodmare  in  California,  and  has  already  produced 
three  in  the  2:10  list,  and  five  in  the  2:15  list.  She  is 
by  Alcantara,  an  own  brother  to  Alcoyne,  the  sire  of 
the  great  McKinney. 

With  the  splendid  race  horse  qualities  and  magnifi- 
cent individuality  which  Diablo  possesses,  he  is  with- 
out queBtion  one  of  California's  greatest  stallions,  and 
at  the  low  fee  of  $40,  which  has  been  placed  on  his 
services,  he  will  doubtless  receive  a  large  patronage 
Excellent  pasturage  can  be  had  at  Woodland  at  a  low 
rate  and  Mr.  Crookham  will  be  pleased  to  send  tabu- 
lated pedigree  and  full  particulars  as  to  terms  on 
application  by  mail  to  him  at  that  address.  See 
advertisement  in  this  issue. 


Blood  of  Three  Great  Sires. 


You  Take  No  Chances 


A  three-year-old  stallion  of  magnificent  proportions 
is  Mac  Direct,  owned  by  Capt.  C.  H.  Williams  of  Palo 
Alto,  and  in  the  veins  of  the  colt  courses  the  blood  of 
the  three  great  sires — Nutwood  2:18|,  Director  2:17 
and  McKinney  2:11}.  Mac  Direct's  sire  is  McKinney, 
his  dam  was  sired  by  Director  and  his  grandam  by 
Nutwood.  McKinney  is  beyond  all  question  the  lead- 
ing standardbred  sire  in  the  world  today,  and  his 
greatness  was  achived  by  his  own  performances  as  a 
racehorse  and  the  performances  of  his  get  on  the  race 
track.  He  has  11  in  the 2:10  list  and  34 'n  the  2:15  list, 
although  he  is  only  17  years  old,  and  the  records  of 
all  these  performers  were  made  in  actual  races.  Di- 
rector was  one  of  the  greatest  racehorses  that  ever 
went  down  the  Grand  Circuit,  and  has  founded  a  fam- 
ily of  great  racehorses  and  sires  of  racehorses.  Nut- 
wood was  a  racehorse  himself  and  defeated  many  of 
the  best  stallions  of  his  day.  In  the  stud  he  proved 
to  be  the  greatest  sire  of  broodmares  that  ever  lived, 
his  daughters  having  produced  no  less  than  forty-five 
trotters  and  pacers  with  records  of  2:15  or  better,  and 
considerable  more  than  two  hundred  2:30  performers. 

Capt.  Williams  bred  and  raised  Mac  Direct,  but  the 
colt  has  been  such  a  growthy  fellow  that  he  declined 
to  have  him  trained  for  a  record  until  he  is  older;  but 
bad  him  worked  sufficiently  to  show  to  his  trainer, 
John  Phippen,  that  be  is  one  of  the  best  prospects  in 
California  today. 

Capt.  Williams  has  been  importuned  by  several 
breeders  to  permit  Mac  Direct  to  serve  a  few  mares, 
bo  concluded  to  place  him  in  the  stud -and  limit  him  to 
ten  of  approved  breeding.  He  has  already  six  mares 
booked,  so  those  who  wish  to  avail  themselves  of  the 
services  of  such  a  magnificently  bred  son  of  McKinney 
will  have  to  apply  early.  The  fee  will  be  $40  and  the 
season  will  close  July  1st.

Successful  Young  Sire. 

One  of  the  fastest,  best  bred  and  best  looking  sons 
of  the  great  McKinney  2:11  J  19  the  stallion  Zolock, 
that  took  a  race  record  of  2:09J  last  year.  What  is 
most  remarkable,  however,  is  that  two  of  his  two- 
year-olds,  members  of  his  very  first  crop  of  colts, 
entered  the  2:20  list,  one,  Delilah  winning  the  two- 
year-old  pacing  division  of  the  Breeders  $6000  Futurity 
and  getting  a  record  of  2:16$.  the  other,  Athasham 
winning  a  stake  for  two-year-old  trotters  in  straight 
heats  in  2:20J  and  2:20. 

Zolock  is  one  of  the  grandest  looking  stallions  that 
ever  raced  in  California.  He  is  an  open  gaited  pacer 
that  wears  no  boots  or  hopples  and  can  show  a  fast 
gait  at  the  trot.  His  breeding  is  superb.  Of  his  sire 
nothing  need  be  said,  as  since  Sweet  Marie  2:04|  proved 
herself  the  greatest  race  mare  ever  seen  on  the  Grand 
Circuit,  and  his  list  of  2:15  performers  became  more 
numerous  than  that  of  any  other  sire  of  his  age,  Mc- 
Kinney'9  history,  pedigree  and  accomplishments,  on 
the  track  and  in  the  stud,  have  become  familiar  to  all 
horsemen.  Therefore  we  will  in  this  article  only  speak 
of  his  breeding  on  the  dam's  side.  His  dam  Gazelle 
2:11'J  was  a  great  trotter  and  race  mare  in  her  day. 
Her  sire  Gossiper  2:14J  was  one  of  the  fastest  trotters 
of  hiB  day  and  two  minute  speed  was  often  shown  by 
him  in  his  work.  In  the  broodmare  ranks  Gazelle  has 
achieved  much.  Besides  producing  Zolock  she  is  the 
dam  of  Zephyr  2:11,  a  trotting  mare  that  is  expected 
to  obtain  a  record  of  2:05  or  better  this  year  if  no 
accidents  befall  her.  The  grandam  of  Zolock  is  Gip- 
sey  by  Gen.  Booth.  Gipsey  has  produced  Gazelle  2:11, 
Ed  Winship  2:15  and  the  two-year-old  Delilah  2:16J. 
Gen.  Booth,  her  sire,  had  a  trotting  record  of  2:30$ 
and  was  by  the  old  hero  Geo.  M.  Patchen  2:23J,  out 
of  Echo  Belle,  grandam  of  Conn  2:15$  and  a  full  sister 
to  Pink  2:22.  Echo  Belle  was  by  Echo  462,  sire  of  the 
dams  of  Dirict  2:05$,  Rex  Alto  2:07|,  Loupe  2:09i, 
Bay  wood  2:10$  and  several  others  in  the  2:15  list.  The 
dam  of  Echo  Belle  was  a  mare  by  the  famous  running 
sire  Lummox  and  was  out  of  a  mare  by  old  Gray 
Eagle.  Zolock's  breeding  is  rich  in  producing  blood, 
and  he  has  not  only  proven  himself  a  sire  of  speed  but 
of  race  winners,  even  though  the  oldest  of  his  get  are 
not  yet  three-years-old. 

Zolock  is  to  make  the  season  of  1905  at  Agricultural 
Park,  Los  Angeles,  in  charge  of  Henry  Delaney.  The 
fee  will  be  $50  with  the  usual  return  privileges. 

Advertising  Fairs  and  Race  Meetings. 

AmoDg  the  interesting  topics  of  discussion  at  the 
annual  meeting  of  the  Indiana  State  Associations  was 
"Advertising."  Mr.  W.  M.  Blackstock,  of  Lafayette, 
delivered  a  vary  sensible  and  practical  address  on  this 
subject.  The  following  extract  from  his  address  is 
full  of  interest  to  the  managers  of  fairs  and  race 
meetings: 

"Aside  from  a  thoroughly  revised  premium  list,  the 
beBt  means  of  reaching  the  masses  is  through  the 
papers.  A  few  selected  lithographs  to  catch  the  eyes 
of  passing  travelers  are  necessary,  yet  the  majority 
of  persons  are  more  influenced  by  what  they  r6ad 
than  by  impressions  from  flaming  posters.  This  is  an 
age  of  newspapers,  and  under  our  rural  delivery 
system  newspapers  are  read  in  nearly  eyery  home  in 
Indiana.  This  means  of  publication  is  a  grand  op- 
portunity for  the  managers  to  take  the  masses  into 
their  confidence.  In  carefully  selected  items  and 
edited  articles  bearing  upon  this  question  everything 
connected  therewith  can  be  explained  in  an  interest- 
ing manner,  so  as  to  arouse  a  patriotic  spirit  in 
favor  of  these  time-honored  institutions.  The  people 
should  be  so  educated  that  they  will  feel  a  personal 
pride  in  the  maintenance  of  their  county  and  State 
fairs.  Henceforth  the  power  of  the  press  can  be 
made  a  valuable  promotor  of  fair  work,  for  the  in- 
fluence of  a  high-class,  widely  circulated  newspaper  is 
incalculable.  Public  opinion  is  largely  made  up  of 
what  the  people  read  in  papers  and  periodicals." 

Secretary  Downing  warmly  seconded  Mr.  Black- 
Btoeks's  suggestions  in  favor  of  the  use  of  newspapers 
as  advertising  mediums.  He  stated  that  for  six 
years  the  State  Fair  paid  about  $4000  a  year  for  posters 
and  $1000  for  newspaper  advertising.  Last  year  $1000 
was  taken  from  posters  and  added  to  newspapers, 
with  most  gratifying  results.  Mr.  Downing  announced 
that  he  had  reached  the  conclusion  that  newspaper 
space  should  be  used  exclusively,  cutting  out  posters 
and  lithographs  altogether.  Messrs.  W.  F.  Hulet, 
Dr.  W.  F.  Myers  and  Col.  David  Wallace  expressed 
similar  sentiments. —  Western  Horseman. 


competent  judge  and  also  versed  in  horse  lore,  I  beg) 
leave  to  supplement  his  comment  by  remarking  that 
I  believe  that  one  is  perfectly  safe  in  the  assertion' 
(from  what  I  know  of  Capt.  John)  that  he  is  a  high- 
class  colt,  and  if  he  does  not  make  the  cracker  jacks 
step  some  this  season  on  the  California  Circuit,  it  will 
be  because  Capt.  John  does  not  invade  that  bailiwick. 

I  believe  also  that  one  is  safe  in  the  assertion  and 
prediction  that  Tennysonian,  with  proper  mating,  is  a 
coming  great  sire.  The  progeny  of  this  horse  are  all 
finely  formed,  large,  with  good  bone  and  the  very  best 
of  action  along  with  the  sterling  qualities  of  kindness 
and  gentleness  which  indicates  good  brain. 

So  far  there  has  been  but  three  of  the  get  of  this 
horse  worked  for  speed  and  they  are  indeed-  good 
ones.  Alice  Lee,  now  owned  by  Mr.  Spreckles  of  San 
Francisco,  that  could  negotiate  a  mile  better  than  2:15 
with  very  little  work,  and  Capt.  John  that  can  show 
a  two-minute  gait  most  any  day.  We  know  of  an- 
other colt  by  Tennysonian  now  being  jogged  at  Mount 
Vernon,  Wash.,  viz.:  Tenelect,  a  big  strapping  black 
that  is  very  promising  and  beautifully  gaited.  Also 
Mr.  Brooker,  of  North  Yakima,  Wash.,  has  a  three- 
year-old  filly  that  paced  a  mile  last  fall  at  Seattle  in  a 
race  separately  timed  in  2:18  with  only  a  few  weeks' 
work.  Respectfully, 

Subscriber 
And  long-time  reader  of  your  paper. 


The  Grand  Circuit  Dates. 


The  dates  arranged  by  the  stewards  during  their 
meeting  in  New  York,  January  12th,  for  the  circuit 
are  as  follows: 

Detroit — July  24  to  August  4,  two  weeks. 

Buffalo — August  7,  one  week. 

Empire  City  Track,  New  York — August  14,  one  week 

Readville,  Mass. — August  21,  one  week. 

Providence— August  28,  one  week. 

Hartford — September  4,  one  week. 

Syracuse — September  11,  one  week. 

Columbus — September  18,  one  week. 

Cincinnati— September  25,  one  week. 

Memphis — October  16,  two  weeks. 

There  were  present  at  the  meeting  D.  J.  Campau  of 
Detroit,  the  president;  C.  K.  G.  Billings,  Memphis; 
James  Butler,  New  York;  C.  I  Jewett,  Boston;  C.  R. 
Bentley,  Buffalo,  and  Albert  H.  Moone,  Providence, 
the  secretary. 

George  Hayt  was  re-elected  presiding  judge,  and 
Robert  N.  Newton  of  Yorkville,  111.,  starting  judge. 

Mr.  Newton,  who  is  little  known  in  the  East,  is  well 
known  by  those  who  have  followed  the  great  Western 
Circuit,  where  his  work  in  that  capacity  has  been 
highly  spoken  of.  Mr.  Newton  and  his  brother  are 
engaged  in  the  banking  business  at  Yorkville,  and 
the  starting  of  horses,  although  it  has  now  grown  into 
a  formidable  business  with  him,  was  primarily  only  a 
form  of  recreation.  His  first  attempt  was  at  a  fair  at 
Yorkville  about  nine  years  ago,  when  the  starter  they 
had  was  discharged  after  the  first  day's  work  for  in. 
competency  and  Sheriff  William  Taylor  of  Ottawa 
secured  in  his  stead.  Mr.  Taylor,  for  some  reason  or 
other,  did  not  show  up,  and  there  was  nothing  left  for 
Secretary  Newton  to  do  but  es9ay  the  job  himself, 
which  he  did  with  credit  to  himself  and  to  the  satis- 
faction of  the  horsemen.  The  following  year  he  con- 
sented to  act  in  the  same  capacity  at  the  old  third  of 
a  mile  track  at  Batavia,  111.,  with  the  result  that  the 
stentorian  tones  that  could  be  heard  as  clearly  on  the 
back  stretch  as  on  the  home  stretch,  brought  him 
fame  that  has  steadily  grown  up  to  the  present  time. 
Mr.  Newton  is  of  the  clean-cut,  new  school  of  horse- 
men, and  it  is  likely  that  he  will  meet  with  success  in 
his  work  down  the  big  line.  He  has  already  several 
offers  for  the  weeks  preceding  the  Grand  Circuit  and 
the  two  intervening  weeks  at  Lexington,  so  that  he 
expects  to  be  engaged  uninterruptedly  from  June  to 
October  in  1905.— Horse  World. 


Another  Track  for  Pleasanton. 


More  Praise  for  Tennysonian' s  Get. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman: — I  notice  in  your  issue 
of  January  7,  1905  mention  and  high  praise  of  the  colt 
Captain  John  by  Tennysonian  32549,  now  owned  by 
Mr  Stevenson  of  Victoria,  B.  C,  and  as  the  writer 
who  commented   on   the  colt  above  mentioned  is  a 


Geo.  A.  Davis  of  Pleasanton,  who  manages  the  big 
hop  yards  and  breeding  farms  of  the  Lilienthal  Com- 
pany, is  contemplating  building  a  new  training  track 
at  the  horse  centre.  The  stalls  at  Mr.  Ronan's  Pleas- 
anton Stock  Farm  are  pretty  well  filled  up,  and  there 
is  a  demand  from  horseman  for  more  track  and  stall 
room.  Mr.  Davis  doesn't  propose  that  anyone  shall 
stay  away  from  "the  greatest  training  place  on  earth" 
if  he  can  help  it,  so  has  associated  himself  with  other 
enterprising  citizens  and,  according  to  the  Pleasanton 
Times  of  last  week,  will  build  a  mile  track  just  north 
of  town  in  what  is  known  as  "the  big  field."  Plans 
for  the  track  and  accessary  stables  have  already  been 
drawn.  The  Times  says  this  field,  which  is  just  across 
the  bridge  from  to^n,  "is  an  ideal  spot  for  such  a 
track,  being  perfectly  level  and  well  drained  and  hav- 
ing the  kind  of  soil  which  has  made  Pleasanton  famous 
as  a  place  to  winter  horses  in.    Besides  there  is  plenty 


of  room  for  a  great  number  of  stalls,  a  cionouse  and 
grand  stand  such  as  it  is  proposed  to  build.  There 
are  probably  over  100  horses  in  the  State  at  the  pres- 
ent time  which  their  owners  are  anxious  to  send  to 
Pleasanton,  but  for  which  accommodations  cannot 
be  had.  Surveyors  have  already  been  at  work  laying 
off  the  grounds,  purchasers  of  small  portions  of  the 
adjacent  property  have  been  notified  to  put  up  sub 
stantial  fences,  which  looks  as  though  large  paddocks 
would  be  laid  out  for  the  convenience  of  the  horse' 
men,  and  operations  on  an  extensive  scale  may  soon 
be  looked  for." 

Proposed  State  Fair   Grounds. 

The  bill  appropriating  money  for  the  building  of  a 
State  Fair  Grounds  at  Sacramento  was  introduced  in 
both  the  Senate  and  Assembly  of  theCalifornia  Legis. 
on  Monday  last.  The  bill  appropriates  $180,000  to  be 
paid  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  California  State 
Agricultural  Society,  to  be  expended  on  the  new  fair 
grounds  at  Sacramento.  The  bill  makes  provision  for 
the  construction  of  a  swine-exhibit  building,  a  sheep 
building,  9ix  cattle  exhibit  barns,  six  exhibit  buildings 
for  mules,  horses  and  ponies,  a  poultry  building,  a 
dairy  building,  carriage  sheds,  stalls  for  trotting  and 
running  horses,  a  main  fence  around  the  grounds  a 
one-mile  trotting  track,  a  seven-eighths-mile  inside 
running  track,  a  grandstand  with  lower  floor  for  ex- 
hibition purposes,  a  judges'  and  a  timers'  stand,  a 
paddock,  water  and  sewer  systems  and  other  improve- 
ments. 

The  bill  also  provides  for  the  use,  in  the  same  con- 
nection, of  the  money  now  in  the  State  Treasury  re- 
maining from  the  sale  of  the  old  fair  grounds  by  the 
State  Agricultural  Society.  Of  the  $180,000  appro- 
priated by  the  bill,  it  is  proposed  that  $100,000  shall 
become  available  on  January  1,  1896,  and  the  balance 
six  months  later.  Another  bill  introduced  by  McKee 
provides  for  the  deeding  of  all  the  property  of  the 
State  Agricultural  Society  to  the  State,  and  appro- 
priate $25,000  to  pay  the  debts  of  the  Society. 

A  Little  Girl's  Pony. 

To  the  Editor:— On  December23d  [had  a  cotillion 
of  forty  couples  at  my  home.  Wishing  to  have  some 
thing  unique,  and  to  have  my  pet  Shetland  pcny  en 
joy  my  party,  too,  I  determined  to  have  him  bring  in 
the  favors.  "Him"  is  a  white  stallion,  four  years  old 
and  forty  inches  high.  His  name  is  Billie.  I  made  a 
"harness"  for  him  of  red  ribbon  and  had  a  lead  rein 
of  the  same  ribbon.  I  arranged  red  roses  and  red 
carnations  for  the  first  round  of  favors. 

Fixing  the  "harness"  so  that  the  flowers  were  easily 
put  in  and  just  as  easily  removed,  I  arranged  it  all  in 
the  kitchen  and  then  had  Billie  led  in  by  a  little  girl. 
She  brought  bim  to  the  dining-room,  then  to  the 
music  room,  and  then  to  the  hall  where  we  turned  him 
around,  standing  on  the  hearth  of  a  large  fireplace, 
to  face  the  people.  I  omitted  to  say  that  he  had  red 
flannel  shoes  on, 

He  stood  very  still  while  his  load  of  flowers  was  re- 
moved, enjoying  it  apparently  as  much  as  the  young 
people  did,  getting  candy  and  sugar  in  large  quanti- 
ties. He  had  as  many  kisses  as  if  he  had  stood  under 
the  mistletoe. 

He  is  a  very  intelligent  pony  and  we  have  lots  of 
fun  together  playing  tag.  He  may  run  almost  out  of 
hearing,  but  a  call  of  "Billie"  brings  him  to  me;  com- 
ing up  just  as  close  as  he  can  and  facing  me  ready  for 
a  lump  of  sugar  and  a  petting.  I  have  arother  Shet- 
land, a  chestnut  just  as  well  trained,  but  I  like  Billie 

best.

Geers  May  Retire. 


A  Nashville,  Tenn.,  dispatch,  dated  January  9tb, 
says:  Ed.  Geers,  who  reached  Nashville  today  from 
Memphis  on  a  visit  to  his  old  home,  may  retire  from 
the  trotting  horse  game  after  the  present  year.  Mr. 
Geers  is  here  to  buy,  if  possible,  a  small  farm  on  which 
he  expects  to  reside,  after  leaving  the  turf.  He  said: 
'  'I  have  been  with  the  trotters  more  than  thirty  years, 
and  now  that  I  am  getting  old  it  is  about  time  for  me 
to  step  down.  As  I  was  born  near  Nashville,  it  is  my 
desire  to  come  back  here  to  live,  and  if  I  can  get  a 
suitable  place  I  will  not  hesitate  in  buying  it. " 


The  annual  meeting  of    the  Gentlemen's  Driving 
Club  of  Denver  was  held  on  January  7,  the  election 
resulting  in  the  choice  of  such  of  the  old  officers  as 
cared  to  remain.    J.  A.  Burnett  was  re-elected  presi- 
dent, and  J.  K.  Stuart  secretary.     The  new  selections 
were  A.    S.  Donaldson  for  vice-president,  and   J.  M. 
Norman  for  historian.    The  other  directors  selected 
were  J.  A.  Osner.   J.  Fred  Roberts,  M.  J.  Du> 
J.   M.   Herbert,    Frank   A.   Hall  and  H.  R.  Gu 
heimer.     Matinee  racing  will  be  resumed  at  Ci 
as  early  in  the  spring  as  the  weather  will  perm:

Secretary  Bentley  thinks  of  offering  a  $10,000   trot- 
ting purse  for  Buffalo.  ■■ 


Detroit  will  open  the  Grand  Circuit  with  a  two 
weeks'  meeting  beginning  July  24th. 

E.  E.  Smathers  has  made  the  first  entry  in  the  M. 
and  M.  (informal),  the  gray  mare  Lady  Babble  by 
Ansel  Chief. 

A  French  tire,  made  of  silk  and  lubber,  ha6  recently 
baen  introduced  into  this  country,  and  is  said  to  excel

A  bill  appropriating  870,000  toward  paying  the  ex- 
pense of  theCalifornia  exhibit  at  the  Lewis  &  Clark 
Exposition  at  Portland,  passed  the  California  Senate 
last  Monday. 

Trainer  John  Howell  will  train  and  drive  Tiverton 
2:04Hn  his  races  this  year.  Howell  worked  Tiverton 
early  last  season,  but  broke  his  leg  shortly  after  the 
racing  season  opened. 

Next  Wednesday,  February  1st,  is  the  last  date  for 
second  payment  in  Breeders  Futurity  No.  5.  Don't 
miss  it.  The  stake  is  guaranteed  to  be  worth  $7000 
and  will  be  worth  much  more. 


Zombro  will  be  in  the  stud  at  Los  Angeles  this  year 
at  $50  the  season.  We  don't  know  where  any  breeder 
can  get  more  for  his  money  than  by  securing  a  foal  by 
the  great  Zombro  2:11  at  that  figure. 


The  Eastern  papers  are  all  saying  that  the  San 
Francisco  daily  press  reporter  who  started  the  story 
that  Scott  Hudson  had  sold  Nervoio  2:04J  to  W.  E. 
Lockwood  for  $16,000,  should  have  a  medal. 


Strathway,  the  sire  of  Toggles  2:081,  John  Caldwell 
2:11  J  and  many  other  good  ones,  will  be  in. the  stud  at 
Pleasanton  this  year  at  $50  the  season.  A  more  ex- 
tended notice  of  this  good  sire  will  appear  next  week. 


Chris  Widemann,  of  Gonzales,  will  send  his  pacing 
prospect,  Joe  Robin,  and  a  full  brother,  also  a  pacer, 
and  a  three-year-old  trotter  by  Robin,  to  Pleasanton 
the  1st  of  February  in  charge  of  his  trainer,  Cavel 
Rodriguez. 

A.  Kaul  &  Son,  of  St.  Mary's,  Pa.,  will  ship  their 
pacer,  Funston  2:08J  by  Dictatus,  to  New  York  in  a 
week  or  so.  He  campaigned  through  last  season's 
Grand  Circuit,  winning  four  races,  being  out  of  the 
money  but  once. 

John  Lance,  one  of  the  prominent  trainers  and 
drivers  of  Washington,  is  down  on  a  visit  to  California 
stock  farms  and  training  tracks.  Mr.  Lance  raced 
the  pacers  Helennes  2:14J  and  Sam  Bowers  2:11  on 
the  Norlh  Pacific  Circuit  last  year. 


The  next  volume  of  the  Year  Book  will  not  be  out 
until  perhaps  the  middle  of  March,  according  to 
latest  information.  It  may  get  from  the  printers 
somewhat  sooner,  but  not  likely.  It  will  be  to  all 
intents  and  purposes  the  same  as  the  volume  issued 
]a?tyear.  

Wildbrino  2:19J  is  now  the  ltading  speed  sire  of 
Canada.  He  now  has  33  standard  performers  to  his 
credit,  his  fastest  pacer  being  Capt.  Brino  2:07J,  and 
his  best  trotter,  Dorothea  S.  2 : 1 2 J .  Wildbrino  was 
foaled  in  1885,  sired  by  Hambrino,  dam  Molly  by 
Wildwood.  

The  Utah  Racing  Association  will  give  a  program 
of  races  on  Decoration  Day,  May  30th.  $600  is  offered 
for  a  free-for-all  trot  or  pace  and  $400  for  a  2:20  class 
trot  or  pace.  Two  purses  of  $100  each  are  offered  for 
running  races  at  one  mile  and  a  half  mile.  W.  S. 
Jones  is  the  manager. 


A  twenty-mile  match  race  was  recently  pulled  off 
between  two  trotters  which  traveled  the  highway 
between  Sheridan  and  Big  Horn,  Wyoming,  a  dis- 
tance of  ten  miles  and  return.  The  back  trip  was 
made  by  the  winning  horse  In  371  minutes  which  is 
going  some  in  a  twenty-mile  road  race.

Unless  a  compromise  program  is  agreed  upon,  there 
is  going  to  be  some  trouble  in  finding  engagements 
for  such  pacers  as  Nervoio,  Locanda  and  John  M. 
The  last  named  is  eligible  to  the  2:03  class,  Locanda  to 
the  2:04  class,  and  Nervoio  to  the  2:05  class.  There 
are  a  half  dozen  other  pacers  with  marks  around  2:05, 
all  made  last  season,  and  from  the  lot  a  fine  field  could 
be  secured. 

Geo.  W.  Hughes,  formerly  of  California,  who  has 
been  living  for  several  years  past  in  Oregon,  has  re- 
turned to  this  State  and  is  located  at  Eureka,  Hum- 
boldt county  where  he  may  handle  a  few  trotters  and 
pacers.  He  writes  us  that  a  green  pacer  a  full  brother 
to  Bolivar  and  a  fine  looker,  sold  at  Eureka  last  week 
for  $350.  This  horse  is  hardly  broken  but  can  show 
close  to  a  2:15  gait. 


Col.  Walter  T.  Chester,  who  compiled  years  ago 
"Chester's  Complete  Guide,"  and  was  for  twenty  or 
more  years  identified  with  the  Turf,  Field  and  Farm 
as  an  editorial  writer,  is  at  Allen  Farm,  Pittsfield, 
Mass.,  the  home  of  Kremlin  2:071.  where  he  will  be 
engaged  for  some  time  in  statistical  work. 


A  car  load  of  select  broodmares  are  being  got  to- 
gether in  Spokane  and  will  be  shipped  to  Los  Angeles 
to  breed  to  Zombro.  When  a  young  stallion  can  draw 
trade  a  distance  of  2000  miles,  it  is  good  evidence  of 
the  high  valuation  that  is  placed  on  his  get.  The 
young  Zombros  are  well  thought  of  in  Spokane. —

Don't  lose  the   chance  to  get  your  moDey  back  by 

failing  to  make  second   payment  next  Wednesday  on 

the  m»re  you  entered  in  Breeders'  Futurity  No.  5.     It 

she  proves  to  be  not  with  foal,  you  can  sell  or  transfer 

the  ei.try  and  get  back  all  you  have  paid  out.      But  if 

lro  pay  up  February   1st  you  are   out  of   the 

■  :lV:    and  if  the  mare  does   not   foal,  or  the  foal  dies 

■  ill  b3  out  your  money  as  well  as  the  value  of  the 

So  pay  up  and  keep  in. 


H.  D.  Brown,  of  Oakland,  who  has  trained  and 
raced  several  good  ones  on  the  California  circuit, 
owns  a  daughter  of  Sidney  Dillon  that  is  attracting 
much  attention  from  those  who  have  seen  her  at 
work.  She  is  a  chestnut,  .bred  by  the  Santa  Rosa 
Stock  Farm,  and  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Piedmont, 
second  dam  by  Gen.  Benton.  She  has  already  shown 
a  mile  in  2:1S  and  for  conformation  is  hard  to  beat. 


In  the  Village  Farm  dispersal  sale,  which  will  be 
held  by  the  Fasig-Tipton  Company  at  Madison  Square 
Garden.  New  York,  beginning  January  30th,  there 
will  be  no  less  than  thirty-one  animals  offered  that  are 
dascendants  in  the  maternal  line  from  famous  old 
Jessie  Pepper  by  Mambrino  Chief  II.  Jessie  Pepper 
produced  nine  female  foals,  and  seven  of  these  are  in 
the  Great  Brood  Mare  Table.  Two  of  her  sons  are 
producing  sires,  and  she  herself  is  the  dam  of  two 
standard  performers. 

F.  W.  Perkins,  of  Oakland,  who  owns  the  handsome 
and  grandly  bred  stallion  Atbamax  36927,  has  been 
laid  up  with  rheumatism  all  winter,  and  has  not  yet 
decided  where  he  will  locate  his  horse  this  year, 
although  he  has  received  many  letters  from  persons 
who  desire  to  breed  to  Atbamax,  and  has  had  several 
chances  to  leasB  him.  A  yearling  colt  by  Atbamax, 
out  of  a  Steinway  mare  was  sold  recently  for  $300  and 
ie  has  some  very  fine  looking  colts,  coming  two  years 
old,  that  are  the  oldest  of  his  get. 

W.  T.  Harris,  the  well  known  real  estate  dealer  of 
Oakland  has  a  find  in  a  big  gelding  by  Bay  Bird  out 
of  a  mire  by  Algona  that  is  one  of  the  fastest  big 
horses  in  California.  He  is  17  hands  high  and  weighs 
1350  pounds,  and  though  seven  years  old  never  had  a 
halter  on  until  last  year.  He  was  sold  by  the  Haggin 
ranch  and  tried  out  in  a  bakery  wagon  before  Mr. 
Harris  bought  him,  but  with  two  months'  work  at 
the  Pleasanton  track  trotted  a  mile  in  2:25  very 
handily.  For  a  horse  of  his  size  he  is  a  grand  looker 
and  will  shade  2:20  before  long. 


The  report  comes  from  San  Jose  that  Messrs.  F.  S, 
Granger  of  Santa  Cruz,  and  the  well  known  horse- 
man T.  W.  Barstow  of  San  Jose  have  secured  a  ten 
years'  lease  of  the  Agricultural  Park  and  Race  Track 
at  the  latter  place  and  will  make  many  improvements 
thereon.  While  the  report  states  that  the  lease  has 
not  yet  been  signed,  the  probability  is  that  it  will  be 
before  this  item  is  printed.  Mr.  Granger  is  an  ener- 
getic promoter  who  has  built  railroads  and  baen 
identified  with  many  big  enterprises  in  Santa  Cruz 
and  Santa  Clara  counties,  and  Mr.  Barstow  is  one  of 
the  leading  breeders  and  horsemen  of  California.  He 
owns  the  stallion  Nearest  2:22,  an  own  brother  to 
John  A.  McKerron  2:041,  and  has  raced  several  of 
Nearest's  get,  including  Alone  2:0£^.  We  believe  it  is 
the  intention  of  Messrs.  Granger  and  Barstow  to  build 
a  large  number  of  new  stalls,  repair  all  the  buildings 
and  make  the  San  Jose  track  the  leading  training  and 
trotting  track  in  California.    Success  to  them. 


Lady  Mowry  2:28  by  McKinney. 

On  the  front  pages  of  this  issue  is  presented  the 
picture  of  a  daughter  of  McKinney,  owned  by  Mr.  J. 
C.  Mowry  of  Mowry  Station,  Alameda  county.  Lady 
Mowry,  as  this  filly  is  called  by  her  owner,  represents 
a  cross  that  has  been  remarkably  and  uniformly 
successful  —  the  McKinney-Nutwood  Wilkes  cross. 
Martin  Carter,  owner  of  Nutwood  Wilkes,  is  a  breeder 
who  is  always  looking  for  the  best  stallions  to  mate 
hi6  mares  with,  and  picked  out  McKinney  2:11  J  to 
breed  to  his  very  fast  mare  Georgie  B.  2:12J  by  Nut- 
wood Wilkes.  The  result  was  the  pacing  mare  Miss 
Georgie  2:11  J  that  William  Cecil,  Mr.  Carter's  trainer, 
has  always  considered  the  equal  of  any  California 
bred  pacer  that  has  crossed  the  mountains  to  race  on 
the  big  tracks.  Miss  Georgie  had  considerable  bad 
luck  last  year,  was  sick  and  threw  out  a  curb,  but  at 
that  she  took  a  fast  record  and  showed  that  she  is  a 
2:05  performer  with  reasonable  luck.  To  prove  that 
the  cross  works  well  both  ways  it  is  only  necessary  to 
call  attention  to  Tidal  Wave  2:13^  by  Nutwood  Wilkes 
out  of  a  McKinney  mare.  This  horse  was  campaigned 
throughout  the  Pacific  Coast  last  year  by  Mr.  I.  C. 
Mosher,  and  for  handsome  proportions  and  gamenes9 
was  not  outclassed  in  any  company,  while  it  is  well 
known  that  his  mark  is  not  the  full  measure  of  his 
speed  by  many  seconds. 

The  McKinney-Nutwood  Wilkes  cross  is  a  success 
and  Lady  Mowry  will  undoubtedly  add  much  to  its 
fame  whenever  she  is  raced.  Her  dam  Electress 
Wilkes2:28  isby  Nutwood  Wilke9,  and  her  second  dam 
Electress  2:27J  is  by  Richard's  Elector,  so  she  repre- 
sents the  already  famous  Wilkes-Electioneer  cross  as 
well.    Lady  Mowry  has  been  in  William  Cecil's  hands 


[January  28,  I9C5 

during  the  past  season  in  her  three-jear-oid  form. 
At  the  Breeders  meeting  in  San  Jose  last  year  she 
was  given  a  time  record  of  2:28  simply  to  give  her  a 
standard  record,  and  shortly  afterwards  worked  a 
mile  over  the  6ame  track  in  2:18  and  a  quarter  in  311 
seconds.  Cecil  has  given  her  but  very  little  mile 
work,  quarters  and  halves  being  the  extent  of  her 
usual  speeding.  She  is  not  only  a  handsome  mare 
in  appearance,  but  is  a  finely  gaited  and  level-headed 
trotter,  and  is  considered  by  all  horsemen  who  have 
seen  her  to  be  one  of  the  best  prospects  in  California 
at  the  present  time.  Bein  ,r  by  McKinney  2:11},  sire  of 
the  great  race  mare  Sweet  Marie  2:04|  and  out  of  a 
mare  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:161,  sire  of  the  great 
trotting  stallion  John  A.  McKerron  2:041,  she  is  closely 
related  to  "the  best  families"  beyond  any  doubt. 
When  William  Cecil  was  asked  one  day  why  he  liked 
Lady  Mowry  so  well,  he  answered:  "I  worked  Tidal 
Wave  by  Nutwood  WilkeB,  dam  by  McKinney,  sixty 
days  early  in  his  three-year-old  form,  and  he  stepped 
a  quarter  for  me  in  301  seconds  and  a  half  in  1:04,  and 
I  thought  he  was  a  two-minute  pacer  and  think  so 
yet.  I  then  worked  Miss  Georgie,  by  McKinney  out 
of  a  mare  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  a  mile  in  2:09  and  after 
»he  had  gone  three  races  she  had  all  the  pacers  in 
California  at  her  mercy.  I  think  she  was  the  best 
green  pacer  that  ever  left  California  and  believe  2:05 
will  not  stop  her.  With  my  experience  with  these 
two  to  reckon  from,  when  I  find  so  much  speed 
and  class  in  a  mare  of  that  breeding  as  I  find  in  Lady 
Mowry,  I  am  ready  to  take  my  chances  with  her  down 
through  the  Grand  Circuit,  and  am  certain  if  I  do  I 
will  get  my  share  of  the  money."

S.  W.  Lillakd,  Davisville,  Cal.— The  brown  stal- 
lion St.  Clair  656  was  bred  in  California  by  Geo. 
Ingles  of  Sacramento.  He  was  first  known  under  the 
name  of  Fred  Low,  and  was  foaled  in  1864.  He  passed 
to  John  E.  Miller  of  Sacramento,  and  became  the  sire 
of  Clay  2:25£  and  Adalia  2:27.  His  daughters  pro- 
duced Costello  2:24J  and  Sam  Lewis  2:25,  both  pacerB, 
and  Richard's  Elector  2:25  and  Fay  2:25,  both  trot-

horse  St.  Clair  16675  and  out  of  a  fine  looking  mare 
called  Lady  Ross,  whose  breeding  is  unknown.  St. 
Clair  16675  was  brought  across  the  plains  in  1849  and 
died  in  Sacramento  in  1864.    His  breeding  is  entirely

Western  Racing  Circuit. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  prominent  track  owners  in  the 
Rocky  Mountain  region  held  at  Denver  last  week  the 
Western  Racing  Association,  a  new  body  controlling 
seven  tracks  in  Denver,  Salt  Lake,  Pueblo.  Trinidad, 
Fort  Collins,  Albuquerque  and  Las  Vegas,  was  organ- 
ized. Dates  for  the  coming  season  were  awarded  the 
respective  tracks.  The  racing  which  will  include 
both  light  harness  and  running  events,  will  extend 
through  from  May  22d  to  July  19th. 

Pour  new  tiacks — at  Salt  Lake,  Fort  Collins,  Albu. 
querque  and  Las  Vegas — have  been  added  to  the  cir- 
cuit, and  the  Colorado  Springs  track  has  dropped 
from  the  association. 

Themembersof  the  new  circuit  will  arrange  their 
Btake  and  purse  events  for  similar  classes  in  order  that 
horses  entered  at  any  one  meeting  will  be  eligible  to 
race  throughout  the  circuit.  The  2:14  pace  and  the 
2:24  trot  will  be  on  the  card  of  each  meeting,  except 
that  in  Denver  the  trot  may  be  lowered  to  2:13  or  2:12 
to  meet  the  conditions  peculiar  to  the  fasteBt  track  in 
the  circuit.  As  the  events  at  Overland  will  be  graded 
only  a  few  seconds  apart,  no  hardship  will  be  worked 
upon  horsemen.  Both  the  2:20  pace  and  2:20  trot  will 
be  on  the  Overland  card. 

Albuquerque  will  offer  $5000  in  stakes  and  purses  for 
light  harness  events;  Las  Vegas  will  put  up  $2000. 
At  the  other  tracks  the  stakes  will  be  $1000  and  the 
purses  $500. 

In  addition  to  the  big  spring  meeting,  Fort  Collins, 
Pueblo  and  Loveland  will  have  fall  fair  meetings. 

The  representatives  of  the  tracks  at  the  meeting 
were  J.  H.  Hammer  of  Salt  Lake,  Messrs.  Rhoades 
and  Gray  of  Fort  Collins,  Messrs.  Humphreys,  Colton, 
Lewis  and  Stratton  of  Trinidad,  MesBrs.  Turner  and 
Wilson  of  Pueblo,  Mr.  McNeil  of  Loveland,  Messrs. 
Wahlgreen  andColbrrnof  Denver.  Las  Ve^as  was 
represented  by  proxy. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  meeting  Secretary  Wahl- 
green left  for  an  Eastern  trip  of  several  weeks' dura- 
tion, during  which  he  will  secure  horses  for  the  new 
circuit.    The  dates  decided  on  were  as  follows: 

Fort  Collins— May  22,  23  and  24. 

Albuquerque— May  29,  30,  31  and  June  1. 

Las  Vegas — June  5,  6  and  7. 

Trinidad— June  12,  13,  14  and  15. 

Denver — June  17  to  July  4,  inclusive,  fifteen  days. 

Pueblo— July  7,  8,  10  and  11. 

Salt  Lake  City— July  16,  17,  18  and  19.

%  THOROUGHBREDS. 

From  Chicago  comes  news  that  the  Worth  Jockey 
Club  will  throw  its  support  to  the  Corrigan  side  and 
against  the  Western  Jockey  Club  in  the  fight  for 
Middle  Western  turf  supremacy.  ThiB  will  make  a 
total  membership  of  at  least  a  dozen  in  the  new 
governing  turf  body  whose  birth  is  expected  this 
week.  Walter  Parmer  will  come  in  with  his  tracks 
at  Detroit  and  Port  Erie  and  a  lively  time  is  sure  to 
follow  in  the  country  west  of  the  Alleghanies  to  the 
Rockies  and  from  Minnesota  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico. 
Prom  a  good  source  it  is  learned  that  if  racing  is  al- 
lowed to  go  on  around  Chicago  under  a  new  law  gov- 
erning such  matters,  Washington  Park  will  also 
float  the  Corrigaa  banner.  If  no  law  is  passed  the  big 
Illinois  clu'u  will  keep  its  track  closed.  Never  have 
things  looked  so  dark  in  a  racing  way  in  both  Illinois 
and  Missouri.  In  the  latter  State  the  repeal  of  the 
breeders'  law  has  already  been  asked  for  in  the  Legis- 
lature and  with  the  support  of  Gov.  Polk  and  bis 
friends  of  the  administration  the  present  law  will 
probably  be  stricken  from  the  statute-books.  This  is 
as  it  should  be,  for  as  matters  stood  last  year  it  was  a 
regular  comic  opera  law.  The  State  Auditor  issued  to 
bookmakers  direct  (at  $5  each  per  day)  licenses  to 
carry  on  their  business  and  he  had  it  in  his  power  (ac- 
cording to  the  elastic  nature  of  the  law  under  which 
he  was  operating)  to  give  or  withhold  to  friends  or 
enemies  the  right  to  operate  race  tracks  an  additional 
ninety  days.  Late  last  July,  Auditor  Allen  suddenly 
switched  to  the  Cella  side  in  the  St.  Louis  racing 
battle,  at  the  very  last  moment,  and  that  switch  is 
presumed  to  have  cost  a  pretty  penny.  Of  course  it 
is  right  and  proper  that  the  power  spoken  of  (to  allow 
race  tracks  to  run  or  not  to  run)  should  be  taken  out 
of  the  hands  of  "grafters, "but  pool-rooms  will  doubt- 
less spring  up  all  over  St.  Louis  if  the  breeders'  law 
b3  stricken  from  the  list.  Capt.  P.  J.Carmodyhas 
again  secured  the  reins  of  the  Union  track,  purchas- 
ing the  lea*se,  etc.,  late  last  week  for  $70,000  and  as  he 
will  go  at  once  into  the  Corrigan  fold  and  has  the 
confidence  and  best  wishes  of  the  Missouri  people,  can 
win  out,  and  doubtless  will.  He  started  right  last 
season  and  there's  a  good  deal  in  a  good  send  off.  In 
Illinois  the  latest  proposed  racing  law  spoken  of  last 
week  has  not  made  much  headway  and  if  some  meas- 
ures giving  relief  is  not  passed  at  the  present  session, 
race-track  owners  will  not  care  to  take  the  chances  of 
running  and  being  arrested  every  time  any  gambling 
is  allowed  on  the  grounds.  That  racing  is  nothing 
without  the  speculative  side  was  demonstrated  con- 
clusively at  Washington  Park  last  summer,  when 
the  richest  of  all  American  racing  and  social  clubs 
shut  down  after  going  but  a  couple  of  days  without 
wagering.  Thomas  Clay  McDowell,  a  grandson  of 
the  Great  Commoner  of  Kentucky,  will  probably  be 
•lejted  President  of  the  American  Jockey  Club 
which  is  the  proposed  name  for  the  organization 
which  Mr.  Corrigan  is  forming.  Mr.  McDowell  is 
a  big  breeder  in  Kentucky  and  raced  Alan-a- 
Dale,  White  Wings  and  other  celebrities  in  re- 
cent years.  Harry  Kuhl  will  probably  be  selected 
Secretary.  He  was  the  first  Secretary  of  the  Western 
Jockey  Club,  too.  Racing  will  be  begun  at  the  new 
Panama  track,  New  Orleans,  on  the  11th  of  February. 
Several  hundreds  of  horses  are  already  on  the  grounds 
including  the  strings  of  Wade  McLemore,  Daniels 
Bros.,  U.  Z.  DsArman  and  other  big  owners  that 
raced  at  Union  Track,  St.  Louis,  last  season.  That 
the  Corrigan  side  has  the  largest  following  cannot  be 
gainsaid,  but  the  racing  clouds  hovering  over  Illinois 
and  Missouri  look  exceedingly  dark  at  this  writing 
and  the  proverbial  silver  lining  cannot  be  discerned. 


The  racing  at  Emeryville  since  I  last  wrote  haB  been 
decidedly  flip-floppy  from  the  form-studont's  angle. 
On  the  20th  Captain  Forsee  (which  had  been  unplactd 
for  Bullman)  won  a  fine  race  for  Bell,  while  Saturday 
Acnelita  and  Elliott,  two  favorites  ridden  previously 
by  the  once  noted  rider,  came  out  and  won  in  most 
impressive  fashion,  causing  a  whole  lot  of  conversa- 
tion anent  Bullman's  saddle  work.  Monday  there 
were  some  painful  upsets,  the  chief  being  those  of  The 
Reprobate  (beaten  by  Edrodun)  and  Pelham  (defeated 
by  Salable).  However,  the  latter  is  a  much  improved 
youngster  and  liable  to  beat  anybody's  good  colt  from 
this  time  forth.  Tuesday,  in  the  race  Educate  won, 
Hipponax  (which  had  won  pulled  up  in  his  previous 
race)  failed  to  finish  better  than  fifth,  and  in  the  very 
next  race  Del  Carina  wound  up  fourth  in  a  race  where- 
in she  was  a  favorite  at  11  to  20.  Of  course,  surprises 
will  occur  on  slippery  tracks,  but  it  has  been  in  this 
shape  so  long  that  a  good  line  ought  to  have  been 
secured  on  the  mud-runners. 


ning  hereabouts.  Last  Tuesday  he  defeated  a  fine 
field  at  seven  furlongs,  it  including  San  Nicholas,  Ish- 
lana  and  Venator.  Gateway  is  by  the  big  Darebin 
horse,  Del  Paso,  and  the  only  other  Del  Paso  out  that 
I  remember  was  Del  Carina.  All  of  which  indicates 
that  Del  Paso  is  likely  to  make  quite  a  sire  of  racers, 
especially  those  with  a  love  of  a  soft,  slippery  or  dry- 
ing-out course— in  short,  any  kind  of  mud. 

Among  the  recent  arrivals  from  Los  Angeles  are 
strings  of  racers  belonging  to  James  Blute  and  James 
Curl,  both  of  which  made  theirfirst  appearance  of  the 
season  last  Wednesday.  Mr.  Blute  Bent  Sais,  Cincin- 
nati and  Tramotor,  while  Mr.  Curl  sent  along  Fran- 
gible and  Erne,  mud-eaters  that  do  not  have  much  of 
a  chance  to  shine  at  Los  Angeles. 


Gwynn  R,  Tompkins,  prominent  as  a  trainer  of 
jumpers  around  New  York,  is  a  late  addition  to  the 
ranks  of  visitors  hereabouts,  while  W.B.  Sink  Jr. 
arrived  early  in  the  weei  from  France  and  greeted  his 
friends  on  all  sides.  He  speaks  highly  of  the  French 
turfmen  and  horses,  and  will  return  in  less  than  two 
weeks'  time.  A  recent  purchase  by  Mr.  Sink  is  a 
jumper,  with  which  he  expects  to  win  the  Grand 
Steeplechase.  Ralph  H.  Tozer. 


Improvements  at  Napa  Stock  Farm. 

A.  B.  Spreckels  will  make  some  extensive  improve- 
ments in  the  near  future  at  his  big  stock  farm  south 
of  Napa.  The  dwelling  there,  which  is  occupied  by 
Superintendent  and  Mrs.  George  Berry  and  which 
has  stood  for  so  many  years  that  its  usefulness  and 
comfort  have  been  greatly  impaired,  will  be  torn  down 
and  a  handsome  and  substantial  structure  will  be 
erected  in  its  place.  Mr  Spreckels'  architect  was  up 
from  San  Francisco  the  other  day  with  the  plans  of 
the  proposed  building,  making  an  investigation  of  the 
Bite.  The  new  dwelling  will  be  modern  and  up-to-date 
in  every  particular,  and  will  contain  fifteen  rooms. 
Work  upon  it  will  be  begun  very  soon. 

Mr.  Spreckels  will  also  replace  the  stables  near  the 
house  with  new  and  more  commodious  ones.  The  old 
structure  will  be  moved  back  and  will  be  used  as  a 
wing  of  the  new  one. 

Id  order  to  make  the  trip  from  San  Francisco  to 
his  farm  quickly  and  without  regard  to  train  time 
schedules  Mr.  Spreckels  is  having  constructed  in  San 
Francisco  a  launch  with  an  engine  of  forty-horse 
power.  This  will  be  installed  at  the  Spreckels'  wharf 
balow  Napa,  and  will  churn  its  way  to  the  metropolis 
for  Mr.  Spreckels  whenever  he  desires  to  come  to  Napa 
on  business  or  for  an  outing,  or  both. — Napa  Register. 


New  World's  Record  for  Five  Furlongs. 

A  world's  record  made  at  the  old  Bay  District  track 
has  been  wiped  out.  In  1895  George  F,  Smith,  with 
100  pounds  in  the  saddle,  ran  five  furlongs  on  a  circular 
course  in  0:59.  This  record  has  stood  for  ten  years, 
but  last  month,  at  Auckland,  New  Zealand,  a  four- 
year-old  bay  horse,  Machine  Gun,  eclipsed  all  previous 
records  by  running  the  distance  in  the  phenomenally 
fast  time  of  0:58,  which  was  a  second  faster  than  the 
previous  world's  record. 

The  feature  of  the  wonderful  performance  is  that 
Machine  Gun  carried  the  extraordinary  impost  of 
159  pounds.  It  was  in  the  Randolph  handicap  that 
Machine  Gun  broke  the  world's  record.  The  same 
horse  also  won  the  Electric  Plate. 

Machine  Gun  is  a  son  of  Hot^hkiss,  of  the  famous 
Musket  family.  He  was  bred  by  George  G.  Stead,  the 
J.  B.  Haggin  of  the  New  Zealand  turf.  The  Musket 
family  contains  many  stars  of  the  turf,  including  Car- 
bine, who  won  the  Melbourne  cup  with  145  pounds  in 
the  saddle.  The  best  Musket  representative  ever 
brought  to  America  was  Maxim. — Chronicle.

Should  Be  a  Pony  Sire. 

Mr.  J.  R.  Wilson,  owner  of  that  grand  little  stallion 
Royal  Flush,  has  acceded  to  the  demands  of  many 
breeders  who  wish  to  send  mares  to  his  horse  with 
the  idea  of  raising  polo  ponies,  and  will  ship  him  to 
some  point  near  San  Francisco  within  a  few  days — due 
announcement  of  the  location  selected  to  be  announced 
through  the  columns  of  this  journal.  Royal  Flush  is 
less  than  fifteen  hands  high,  but  is  a  powerfully  built 
horse  and  a  sire  of  winners.  Mated  with  small  polo 
mares  of  the  right  conformation  he  should  produce 
ponies  that  will  make  the  bery  best  of  polo  and  racing 
ponies. 

Pony  Races  Postponed. 

Secretary  Robert  Leighton  writes  us  that  in  conse- 
quence of  the  inclement  weather  and  con  equent  dan- 
gerous condition  of  the  track  for  racing  purposes, 
the  raceB  of  the  California  Polo  and  PoDy  Racing 
Association,    scheduled   for    Saturday    next    at    San 


Mateo,  have  been  postponed  for  one  week  and  will  be 
held  on  Saturday,  Feb.  4th,  weather  permitting. 

The  officials  of  this  association  have  been  granted 
the' use  of  Ingleside  track  for  February  22d  and  will 
give  a  fiDe  program  of  racing  for  that  day,  including 
a  two-mile  steeplechase  over  the  course  through  the 
field.  This  race  will  be  open  only  to  hunters  that 
have  been  ridden  with  the  drag  hounds  of  the  San 
Mateo  County  Hunt,  and  the  minimum  weight  wili 
be  160  pounds. 


The  World's  Largest  Horse  Range. 

Stretching  for  200  miles  on  the  north  side  of  the 
Columbia  river,  from  a  point  opposite  the  Dallas,  Ore., 
away  toward  the  Big  Bend  in  Washington,  lies  the 
largest  exclusive  horse  range  in  the  United  States. 

In  this  great  expanse  of  variegated  hills,  prairies 
and  sand  duns,  upland  plateau  and  river  bluffs  range 
the  holdings  of  the  Switzlers— John  aDd  "Jade"— 
numbering  11,000  head  of  horses. 

For  the  past  thirty  years  this  expanse  of  country 
has  been  the  range  of  the  Switzlers,  formerly  William, 
John  and  Jade.  In  1883,  William  died,  and  the  two 
other  brothers  continued  in  partnership  for  several 
years,  when  they  divided,  and  each  now  conducts  his 
own  interests. 

Jade  Switzler  lives  a;  Expansion,  Klickitat  county, 
Washington,  twelve  miles  below  the  town  of  Umatilla, 
on  the  north  side  of  the  Columbia.  John  Switzler 
lives  on  Switzler's  Island,  in  the  Columbia  river,  near 
the  town  of  Umatilla. 

Jade  Switzler  owns  4000  head  of  horses  and  John 
owns  7000  head,  the  range  for  both  these  immense 
herds  being  in  the  territory  from  the  Dallas  to  the 
Big  Bend. 

At  the  highest  time  of  the  Switzler  holdings,  before 
William  Switzler  died,  the  brothers  owned  at  one 
time  15,000  head  of  horses.  This  was  said  to  be  the 
largest  herd  of  horses  ever  owned  by  one  company  in 
the  entire  United  States.  The  Switzler  brand,  an  "S" 
on  the  hip,  was  known  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific 
Ocean,  as  they  shipped  and  drove  horses  to  every 
known  market  in  the  United  States. 

In  the  early  history  of  the  Switzler  horse  industry 
the  holdings  were  cayuses — small,  hardy,  incorrigible 
pinto  and  buckskin  mustangs- the  hardiest  brand  of 
equineB  that  ever  trailed  behind  the  cattle  herds  from 
the  Pacific  Coast  to  Cheyenne  in  the  early  days  or 
that  followed  an  Indian  trail  over  the  precipitous 
mountains  of  the  inland  empire. 

But  the  cayuses  are  now  entirely  weeded  out.  The 
Swilzlers  sold  7000  head  of  these  wild  mustangs  to  the 
Linnton  cannery  at  a  contract  price  of  $3  per  head, 
delivered.  Since  that  clean-up  the  class  of  horses 
raised  on  this  immense  range  has  been  greatly  im 
proved.  Large  draft  stallions  have  been  crossed  with 
the  wiry,  nervy  Western  mares,  and  the  result  is  a 
grade  of  horses  weighing  from  1000  to  1200  pounds, 
that  are  fit  for  any  ordinary  service,  and  bring  the 
highest  price  in  every  market.  About  600  stallions 
are  kept. 

On  this  200  miles  of  range  this  11,000  head  of  wild 
horses  reign  monarchs  of  all  they  survey.  The 
Columbia  and  Yakima  rivers  are  their  watering 
places,  they  run  over  pans  of  three  large  counties, 
and  there  are  colts  on  the  ranges  two  and  three  years 
old  without  brands  and  were  perhaps  never  seen  by 
one  of  the  Switzler  herderB. 

Round-up  corrals  aro  built  about  ten  miles  apart 
over  this  great  range,  and  the  fifty  men  employed  in 
the  round-ups  gather  and  brand  the  colts  in  the  fall. 
The  two  brothers  own  about  200  head  of  trained 
saddle  horses— a  large  drove  of  horses  in  itself. 

None  of  this  great  herd  is  even  fed  a  particle  of  feed 
during  the  winter  season,  the  sand  hills  and  rolling 
prairies  affording  sufficient  nutritious  feed  the  year 
round. 

Settlers  are  crowding  the  vast  range.  Watering 
places  are  being  fenced  up.  and  slowly  the  great  ex- 
panse is  narrowing  down,  but  there  yet  remains  an 
empire  in  extent. 

Horse  stealing  is  more  or  less  prevalent  in  the 
Switzler  range,  the  very  magnitude  of  the  business 
making  it  impossible  to  guard  against  renegades  from 
the  outside  who  slip  in  and  appropriate  what  they  can 
safely  take  away. 

The  demand  for  the  Switzler  horses  is  constantly 
growing.  This  season  Minnesota  buyers  have  sent 
out  three  large  shipments  of  wild  horses  at  $20  per 
per  head,  delivered  at  the  yards  at  Kennewick,  and 
theclass  of  the  younger  horses  is  being  constantly  im- 
proved.— Philadelphia  Inquirer. 


Great  activity  is  reported  from  the  horse  market  in 
National  Stock  Yards,  111.  Receipts  since  the  first  of 
the  new  year  have  been  large  and  yet  values  have 
advanced  fully  $5  per  head  on  all  recognized  classes  of 
market  animals.  Best  business  has  been  dooe  in 
smooth  chunks  of  good  weight,  heavy  drafter?, 
pressers  and  carriage  horses,  though  even  the  - 
Southern  sorts  are  reported  somewhat  dean

Consolidation  ot  Coast  Dogdom. 

As  already  stated  in  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man there  has  been  an  effort  made  to  bring  about  a 
re-union  between  the  A.  K.  C.  and  W.  K.  L.  factions 
on  the  Coast.  After  considerable  diplomatic  sparring, 
back  and  forth,  the  W.  K.  L.  leaders  intimated  a 
willingness  to  come  into  the  A.  K.  C.  fold,  providing 
that  certain  concessions  would  be  made.  These  con- 
cessions were  submitted  to  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board 
and  considered  at  length  by  that  body.  The  result  of 
that  consideration  and  as  given  in  full  below,  was 
transmitted  to  the  W.  K  L.  magnates.  At  a  W.  K. 
L.  meeting  held  in  Portland  on  the  14th  inst.  the  A, 
K.  C.  ''revised"  concessions  were  submitted  and  after 
discussion  certain  alterations  as  noted  below  were 
made  in  the  document  and  a  committee  of  three  ap- 
pointed by  President  Julius  Redelsheimer  with  in- 
structions to  confer  with  the  A.K.C.  representatives 
regarding  the  changes  made  in  the  terms  submitted 
by  the  Advisory  Board. 

A  comparison  of  the  two  documents  will  show  quite 
a  little  difference  in  views.  The  Pacific  Advisory 
Board  will  not  consent  to  change  the  personnel  of  its 
present  organization.  The  suggested  representation 
for  the  various  show  giving  clubs  is  a  good  move  in 
the  general  interest  of  Coast  dogdom.  In  filling  a 
vacancy  on  the  board  the  A.  K.  C.  suggest  an 
"appoved"  selection,  for  confirmation  by  the  A.  K. 
C.  The  W.  K.  L.  request  is  that  choice  of  one  person 
be  made  by  the  Board  aDd  final  approval  should  be 
made  by  the  New  York  authorities. 

The  Advisory  Committee  states  specifically  that  the 
seven  members  of  the  board  shall  be  residents  of  San 
Francisco  or  its  vicinity — the  W.  K.  L.  proposal  on 
this  score  is  that  the  seven  members  must  be  residents 
of  the  "city"  in  which  the  board  meets,  or  its 
Immediate  vicinity.  The  Pacific  Advisory  Board  will 
not  agree  to  a  possible  change  of  headquarters  for  the 
contemplated  board. 

The  Body  of  Representatives  provided  for  is  an  idea 
that  will  no  doubt  be  of  benefit  to  the  clubs  interested, 
but  there  is  here  shown  the  same  divergence  of  agree- 
ment as  indicated  in  Section  1  of  each  document. 

The  final  clause  of  the  W.  L.  K.  revision  is  Bome- 
wbat  in  the  nature  of  capitulation  with  full  honors  of 
war.  What  there  is  behind  it  we  are  not  advised,  we 
trust,  however,  that  this  clause  may,  in  tne  interest 
of  amity  and  fanciers'  good  fellowship,  be  striken 
out.  It  will  also  be  noticed  that  the  sterner  sex  are  to 
officiate  exclusively. 

The  papers  above  referred  to  are  as  follows:

The  Sheepdog  as  a  Comrade. 


It  is  a  generally  acknowledged  fact  among  those 
who  are  in  touch  with  the  work  that  a  man  is  useless 
among  sheep  without  a  good  dog.  All  of  us  who  have 
handled  large  lots  of  Bheep  know  the  feeling  of  con- 
fidence that  is  inspired  by  the  presence  of  a  reliable 
favorite  at  our  horse's  feet.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
feeling  of  constant  anxiety  and  apprehension  when  an 
incapable  or  unreliable  dog  is  with  us.  Far  away 
through  the  dust  clouds  melting  into  distance  the 
leading  sheep  are  running;  we  sent  out  our  newly 
purchased  or  half  broken  Sheepdog  to  head  them' 
Will  he  split  them?  Will  he  worry  them?  We  fidget 
and  fret  in  the  choking  dust,  and  if  we  could  leave 
the  laggardB  for  a  moment,  would  gallop  forward  our- 
selves to  see,  but  we  must  attend  to  our  part  of  the 
contract  and  trust  to  the  pup  to  do  his.  Presently 
there  is  a  rush  and  a  scramble,  and  the  leading  sheep 
are  flung  back  upon  the  laggards  to  the  accompani- 
ment of  much  noisy  barking — and  we  are  left  in  in- 
deolsion  as  to  whether  Larry  has  turned  them  all  or 


left  a  hundred  or  two  racing  far  ahead  and  away  from 
us. 

How  different  it  is  when  we  send  old  Tweed.  At  a 
sign  he  is  gone,  swift  and  silent,  like  a  ghost  into  the 
duBty  twilight.  There  is  no  anxiety  now.  Sitting 
back  in  the  saddle  we  whistle  gaily  to  our  flock, 
knowing  that,  come  what  may,  the  old  dog  will  go  to 
the  very  end  of  the  stringing  line,  aye,  and  a  little 
way  beyond  it,  to  be  sure  of  missing  no  stragglers 
that  have  gone  forward.  When  he  turns  them  it  is 
silently  and  slowly,  no  rush,  no  hurry  and  no  barking. 
Still  more  is  his  value  recognized  when  we  are  driving 
a  small  lot  of  sheep,  say  three  or  four.  How  widely 
he  runs!  What  a  watchful  eye  and  nimble  foot!  Every 
move  of  his  racing  charges  is  met  at  once,  almost 
anticipated.  Never  closer  than  thirty  to  forty  yards 
from  nis  sheep  the  old  dog  drives  them,  stops  them, 
turns  them,  fetches  them  behind  us  or  takes  them  on 
before;  drops  like  a  flash  to  our  lifted  hand,  swings 
wider  to  a  wave  of  our  arm,  and  finally  almost  says  to 
us  with  happy,  shining  eyes:  "Good!  They're  in!" 
when  the  hurdle  is  drawn  behind  tbem. 

But  the  insufficiently  trained  dog  knows  nothing  of 
this  Napoleonic  Btrategy;  this  rule  of  three  is  further 
than  he  has  gone  in  his  mathematics,  iB  beyond  the 
scope  of  his  knowledge.  He  barks,  he  runs  too  cloBe, 
he  splits  his  mob  of  three  into  three  mobs;  gets  angry 
and  "wools"  them,  loses  his  head  altogether,  singles 
one  sheep  out  and  heels  and  worries  while  we  curse 
him  by  all  the  gods  of  the  golden  fleece  and  threaten 
him  with  whipcord  and  noose. 

Such  is  the  difference  between  the  good  dog  and  the 
bad;  a  difference  that  is  meagerly  represented  by  a 
a  few  paltry  dollars  in  price,  but  the  difference  to  us 
between  comfort  and  constant  anxiety,  between  our 
efficiency  and  incapacity  as  shepherds  and  drovers 
and  men  to  be  trusted  with  stock.  So  it  is  that  a 
good  dog  is  of  value  above  rubies,  that  fabulous  sums 
have  been  asked  for  him  and  refused;  that  in  some 
cases  he  is  beyond  the  purchasing  power  of  "love  or 
money." 

As  regards  Sheepdogs,  the  experience  of  the  writer 
is  mostly  confined  to  the  brilliant,  brainy  Collies  of 
the  Scottish  border  and  to  the  Kelpies  and  Barbs  of 
the  Australian  sheep  stations.  The  Collies  are  the 
scholars  among  workers  of  sheep,  the  experts,  the 
professors;  their  erudition,  their  knowledge  and  their 
application  of  it  is  superb.  Not  only  are  they  masters 
of  finesse  in  their  art,  working  with  such  intelligence 
that  almost  untold  they  will  shoulder  a  strange  sheep 
out  of  their  flock,  but  they  are  full  of  resource  and 
forethought,  full  of  that  initiative  which  is  so  neces- 
sary in  the  miBty  Cheviots  where  for  a  considerable 
time  when  gathering  their  blacn  faced  charges  they 
are  beyond  sight,  and  even  hearing,  of  their  masters. 

"The  bit  doggie  kens!"  is  the  motto  of  the  hill 
shepherds,  and  there  is  present  between  dog  and 
master  the  closest  sympathy  and  understanding.  The 
tall,  broad  shouldered  "herd,"  with  the  plaid  across 
his  shoulder  and  the  light  step  on  the  heather,  has 
learned  to  look  upon  the  noble  beast  trotting  across 
the  hill  before  him  as  a  comrade  and  a  brother.  If 
you  have  ever  watched  these  men  with  their  dogB 
you  will  have  noticed,  maybe  with  some  surprise, 
that  they  speak  to  them  but  little.  Yet  often  they 
will  stand — filling  their  pipes,  perhaps — gazing  long 
and  earnestly  into  those  liquid  and  honest  eyes,  read- 
ing, who  knows,  what  depths  of  dumbly  expressed 
devotion!  In  casual  observation,  or  in  conversation 
with  them,  one  would  think  they  set  but  little  value 
on  their  faithful  Collies.  In  reality  his  dog  is  the 
nearest  thing  to  the  hill  man's  heart. 

When  we  see  these  men,  returning  by  rail  from  the 
market  and  sheep  sales,  pushing  and  kicking  their 
tired,  obedient  Collies  under  the  seats  of  the  railway 
carriages,  we  can  hardly  realize  that  they  hold  these 
dogs  so  dear,  and  that,  were  the  kick  or  the  blow  to 
come  from  anyone  else,  it  would  be  quickly  and 
strongly  resented.    Yet  this  is  assuredly  the  case. 

When  his  owner  is  thus  clothed  and  in  his  right 
mind,  with  a  masterful  grip  of  the  si*uation,  the  dog 
at  his  command  crouches  under  the  seat  without  a 
protest;  but  let  that  master  be  flung  senselesB  from 
the  effects  of  whiskey  into  the  same  railway  carriage, 
and  the  dog  at  once  constitutes  himself  his  comrade 
and  protector.  No  cowering  away  now;  erect  and 
watchful  he  sits  up  at  his  master's  side,  with  teeth 
bared  and  the  light  of  battle  in  his  eyes;  and  woe  be- 
tide the  incautious  stranger  who  will  lay  hand  upon 
his  drunken  charge  !  Till  the  last  flocks  are  gathered 
and  the  last  grey  muzzled  dogs  are  whistled  home  it 
will  never  be  known  how  many  gallant  Collies  have 
stood  between  their  masters  and  robbery  or  assault  in 
the  Border  towns,  or  how  many  have  howled  through 
the  buow  wreathod  nights  on  Cheviot,  keebing  lonely 
watch  over  those  masters  in  drunken  stupor  or  in 
death' 

In  far  away  Australia,  where  they  count  their  sheep 
by  thousands  and  their  acres  by  tens  of  thousands, 
the  Sheepdog  is  a  dire  necessity.  If  his  work  in  that 
country  scarcely  calls  for  such  fine  discrimination  or 
intimate  knowledge  as  is  required  in  the  Collie,  it  is 
indispensable  that  he  have  courage  and  speed,  intelli- 
gence, and,  above  all,  wonderful  and  almost  super- 
natural endurance.  Australia  is  the  land  of  infinate 
distances,  of  dusty  gray  miles  of  plain,  stretching 
away  into  dark  brown  miles  of  scrub,  the  land  of  long 
red  sand  blown  ranges  and  glaring  sun-baked  river 
frontages.  Here  all  day,  with  feet  blistered  by  the 
burning  ground  and  torn  with  seed  and  burr,  the 
gallant  little  Sheepdogs,  with  lolling  red  tongues,  but 
keen  ears,  ever  forward  to  their  master's  voice,  follow 
the  cantering  horsemen,  tireless  and  indefatigable. 

On  the  large  sheep  stations  it  often  happens  that  a 
man  has  to  ride  ten  or  fifteen  miles  in  the  morning  be- 
fore he  reaches  the  place  where  his  sheep  work  begins. 
It  is  necessary  that  he  reach  that  point  before  the 
heat  of  the  day  has  arrived.  With  this  end  in  view 
he  rides  fast  through  the  early  morning  shadow?, 
cantering,  perhaps,  for  five  miles,  at  a  stretch,  while 
his  dog  runs  away  in  front  of  him,  startling  the  big 
brown  kangaroos  from  their  early  breakfast  and  Bet-

ting  the  parrots  skyward  in  a  red-gray  cloud.  There 
are  sheep  to  gather  and  drive  a  mile  or  two  to  the 
yards,  there  is  a  long  dusty  afternoon  in  the  yards 
themselves  with  the  little  dog  harking,  driving,  hust- 
ling in  the  dust,  hot  and  thirsty,  but  always  eager 
and  willing.  Then,  just  when  the  little  fellow,  foot- 
sore and  tired,  would  give  his  next  day's  feed  only  to 
be  allowed  to  drag  himself  under  a  shady  bush  and 
fig-tit  for  his  breath  in  the  stifling  air,  the  sheep  are 
let  out,  and  his  master  springing  into  the  saddle, 
whistles  for  him  to  follow  home.  Ah  1  those  long  ten 
miles  ! 

Too  many  of  the  stockmen  care  little  what  becomes 
of  the  dog  which  has  worked  so  loyally  and  well  for 
them  through  the  heat  of  the  day.  "He  will  come 
home  all  right;  he  has  all  night  to  do  it  in!"  they  tell 
you,  forgetting,  or  not  knowing,  that  a  dog  when  he 
is  following  his  master,  whether  on  horse  or  wheel, 
will  follow  till  he  is  utterly  Bpent  rather  that  lose  sight 
of  him. 

But  some  of  the  stockmen  are  thoughtful  of  their 
dumb  comrades.  Many  a  man  after  a  half-mile  canter 
says:  "Pull  up!  I  must  wait  for  old  Rocket!  Poor 
beggar,  his  feet  are  sore!"  Many  a  one  will  stoop 
down  from  his  saddle  and  pick  up  Jet  or  Fan  and 
carry  her  for  four  or  five  miles  on  the  pommel,  to  his 
infinite  inconvenience  and  his  horse's  indescribable 
disgust. 

The  Sheepdogs  of  Australia  are  all  shapes  and  sizes 
and  of  divers  breeds.  Collies  and  Collie  crosses  are 
not  very  frequently  met  with.  The  Scottish  breed  is 
too  big  for  the  country,  and  does  not  stand  the  heat 
well.  The  best  Australian  Sheepdogs  are  the  Kelpies 
and  the  Barbs.  The  former  are  small  black  and  tan, 
sometimes  black,  dogs  They  have  the  full,  broad 
forehead  that  speaks  of  brain  power  behind  it,  Grey- 
hound quarters  that  tell  of  speed,  and  small  round 
feet  that  stand  the  greatest  possible  amount  of  wear 
and  tear.  Some  are  prick-eared  and  some  lopped;  all 
are  smooth  haired,  light  and  swift,  and  positive 
marvels  in  endurance. 

The  Barb  is  a  large  dog.  Perfectly  black  in  oolor, 
stout  and  square  in  build,  he,  too,  has  the  best  points 
of  the  Kelpie — the  broad,  almost  Bulldog  forehead, 
the  small  feet  and  the  short  smooth  hair.  The  Barb 
dogs  are  all  prick-eared  and  have  a  peculiar  crouching 
and  watchful  carriage.  They,  too,  are  wonderfully 
enduring,  though  they  are  heavier  dogs  than  the 
Kelpies.  They  fight  like  Japs,  and  resent  a  thrashing 
from  their  master  with  tooth  and  nail.  This  breed  is 
supposed  to  have  originated  from  a  black  dog,  given 
to  one  of  the  early  squatters  on  the  Gachlan  river,  v>y 
a  black  fellow,  and  is  supposed  to  be  related  to  the 
wild  dogs  or  dingos.  Be  that  as  it  may,  the  Barb  is 
hard  to  beat  for  intelligence,  endurance  and  reliability, 
and  all  the  qualities  that  go  to  the  making  of  a  good 
Sheepdog.  As  a  comrade  he  is  immense.  A  Barb 
puppy  is  the  sweetest  of  playthings.  To  work  sheep 
is  his  natural  inheritance,  and  as  soon  as  his  eyes  are 
open  he  may  be  seen  staggering  and  stumbling  after 
the  chickens  or  the  ducks,  not  merely  chasing  them 
as  a  mongrel  would,  but  trying  to  run  out  wide  as  his 
father  does,  blocking  and  turning,  crouching  and 
finessing,  but  never  biting  or  hustling  his  drove. 

All  puppies  are  independent,  but  the  independence 
of  the  Barb  is  staggering  and  amazing.  He  knows  no 
fear;  he  steals  meat,  and  from  under  the  nose  of  old 
Two-shoes,  who  is  the  boss  dog  bully  of  the  run;  he 
tears  up  the  dishcloth  of  Ned,  the  cook,  whose 
language — and  action — when  roused  is  a  fearsome 
thing,  and  he  cheerfully  nibbles  the  hair  on  the  fet- 
locks of  old  Nugget,  the  draught  horse,  whose  temper 
is  vile  and  whose  kick  seldom  misses  its  mark.  And 
every  man  on  the  station  loves  that  irresponsible 
black  Barb  puppy. 

He  grows  and  fills  out;  he  gains  speed  and  confi- 
dence and  the  outstanding  stamina  of  his  race.  He 
follows  hie  master  upon  his  shorter  journeys  over  the 
run,  and  learns  what  it  is  to  have  a  dry  tongue  cleav- 
ing to  his  mouth  and  a  burr  sticklhg  to  each  foot  at 
once.  Then  he  learns  the  likely  places  to  look  for 
water,  and  how  to  run  on  three  legs,  or  even  two, 
when  the  burrs  are  bad.  He  rounds  up  a  mob  of  sheep, 
works  them  with  caution  and  the  innate  skill  of  a 
long  pure  line  of  Barbs,  and  is  petted  and  caressed  for 
it;  chases  a  passing  rabbit,  and,  wondering  and  pro- 
testing, is  well  thrashed  with  a  double  stockwhip. 
And  so  through  good  and  ill  he  wins  his  day  to  dog- 
hood  and  its  priceless  reward — the  love  and  confidence 
of  his  master. 

The  Australian  sheepman  is  proud  of  his  dog,  and 
takes  every  opportunity  of  telling  you  so.  He  has 
none  of  the  reticence  of  the  Cheviot  shepherd;  he 
talks  to  his  dog  much  and  often,  and  of  him  still 
oftener.  He  loves  to  recount  his  feais  of  prowess,  his 
wonderful  mastery  of  three  Bheep,  his  reliability  with 
a  big  mob.  He  listens  to  the  tale  of  his  neighbor's 
puppy  whose  work  was  so  fine  that  he  had  lately 
yarded  a  chicken  into  a  jam  tin.  "Nothing  at  all!" 
says  he;  "the  other  day  I  heard  something  buzzing, 
and  found  that  Barb  had  just  worked  a  bluefly  into  a 
bottle!"  There  is  something  a  little  selfish  in  all 
this.  The  Australian  loves  to  have  the  best  dog,  just 
as  he  loves  to  have  the  best  horse.  It  is  hardly  in 
this  case  the  deep  true  fondness  of  the  Scotch  shep- 
herd for  his  dog;  and  yet  in  many  cases  one  does  find 
that  true  fondness  apparent. 

There  is  the  drover,  for  instance;  the  man  who 
travels  large  flocks  of  sheep  across  the  continent  in 
the  face  of  a  thousand  barriers  of  drouth  and  flood; 
this  man  sets  true  value  on  his  faithful  comrade;  for 
without  his  dog  his  living  would  be  gone.  "A  good 
dog  is  worth  two  men  and  a  boy,"  is  a  time-worn 
maxim  of  the  Overland,  and  many  of  us  have  had  the 
truth  of  it  driven  home  in  a  hundred  ways  on  the 
naked  Western  plains.  With  a  good  dog,  there  is  no, 
"I  did  not  think  to  look  there, "or  "I  did  not  go  so 
far,"  or  "The  brute  lied  down  and  would  not  come." 
The  dog  just  makes  it  its  business  to  go  and  look  or  to 
fetch  the  sheep  that  staid  behind.  And  that  is  why 
the  drovers  cannot  do  without  him,  and  that  is  why, 
on  the  days  on  which  he  is  not  required  to  work,  old 
Tweed  travels  in  state  on  a  cushion  of  sugar  bags 
swung  under  the  cook's  wagon;  that  is  why  there  is 
always  a  choice  lump  of  meat  set  aside  for  him  when 


the  sheep  draw  into  camp;  that  is  why  his  feet  are  so 
carefully  watched  and  tended,  and  why  his  weary 
master  sits  up  late  by  the  camp  fire  trying  to  fashion 
leather  boots  for  him  when  the  plains  are  strewn 
with  burrs.  There  is  no  lack  of  appreciation  here. 
A  closer  comradeship  it  would  be  hard  to  find;  the 
dog  dependent  on  the  man  for  food,  for  protection,  for 
life  itself;  the  man  dependent  upon  his  dumb  compan- 
ion for  reputation  and  the  very  means  of  making  a 
livelihood.  In  no  part  of  the  world  will  you  find 
these  two  in  closer  sympathy. 

While  speaking  of  the  Australian  Sheepdog  one 
naturally  recalls  him  in  his  capacity  of  comrade  to  the 
swagman,  the  wandering  tramp  of  the  Australian 
bush.  A  very  large  majority  of  these  men  own  a 
Sheepdog  of  some  description  as  companion  and 
guard;  very  often  indeed  it  is  only  a  mongrel  cross- 
bred; in  some  few  caBes,  especially  in  that  of  bone 
fide  shepherds  out  of  work,  it  is  a  Barb  or  Kelpie  of 
the  best  type  and  of  superlative  wisdom  in  the  sheep 
business.  The  lonely  lives  of  these  wandering  men 
bring  them  to  set  high  value  upon  their  dogs,  their 
only  companions,  and  here  again  between  dog  and 
man  there  is  a  vast  amount  of  sympathy.  The 
"tucker  bag"  is  never  so  empty  but  there  is  a  little 
bit  in  the  bottom  of  it  for  "the  pup, "  and  the  track  is 
never  so  dry  and  the  distance  to  water  so  uncertain 
but  that  the  man's  old  felt  hat  is  laid  on  the  ground 
at  intervals  and  a  wee  drop  poured  into  the  crown  of 
it  for  the  pup  to  lap. 

All  of  which  goes  to  show  that  not  only  in  the 
squire's  hall  and  the  lady's  boudoir  is  the  dog  a  com- 
rade and  friend;  but  where  the  roughest  work  of  the 
world  is  done  it  may  be  that  we  love  him  the  best. —

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


S.    F.    KENNEL    CLUB. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  San  Francisco  Kennel 
Club  was  held  on  the  10th  inst.  in  this  city.  The  dates 
for  the  Club's  ninth  annual  spring  Bhow  will  be  May 
10th,  11th,  12th  and  13th— at  the  Mechanics'  Pavilion. 
Messrs.  J.  E.  de  Ruyter,  Charles  K.  Harley  and  J. 
Love  Cunningham  will  compose  the  Bench  Show 
Committee.  Negotiations  are  now  pending  in  the 
effort  to  secure  the  services  of  a  noted  English  judge. 


WORKING     COLLIES. 

The  articleon  the  "Sheepdog"  in  this  issue  reminds 
us  that  the  Glen  Tana  Collie  Kennels'  puppies  and 
young  dogs  have  been  in  great  demand  among  the 
Btockmen  and  farmers  of  the  Pacific  Slope.  With  the 
number  of  star  brood  bitches  now  in  whelp  to  a 
sextetteof  the  best  averaging  Collies  in  the  United 
States  or  Canada  there  will  shortly  be  the  opportunity 
to  get  some  exceedingly  good  Collies.  Mr.  Griffith 
has  filled  demands  from  New  Zealand  and  Australia 
for  dogs  of  his  breeding. 


SABINE    KENNELS'    STCD. 

We  have  received  a  nicely  illustrated  booklet  from 
Sabine  Kennels,  Orange,  Texas,  descriptive  of  the 
kennels'  stud  dogs.  The  stud  is  led  by  the  well 
known  crack  Ch.  Sabine  Result  and  includes  with 
him  Ch.  Sabine  Resist,  Sabioe  Recruit,  Sabine  Ruler 
and  Sabine  Reynard,  a  quintette  of  the  best  smooth 
haired  Fox  TerrierB  on  thiB  Continent  today,  bred  on 
the  best  blood  lines  extant.  For  what  is  offered  the 
fancy  in  this  breed,  the  stud  fees  and  other  induce- 
ments to  send  bitches  to  Texas,  should  be  a  strong 
incentive  to  take  advantage  of  a  good  opportunity  to 
get  the  best  going  in  Fox  Terrier  lines, 

During  the  coming  show  season,  announcement  is 
made  that  Mr.  George  S.  Thomas,  will  look  after  the 
stud  dogs.  Further  particulars,  and  a  copy  of  the 
stud  catalogue  which  we  ad  vise  all  Fox  Terrier  fanciers 
to  secure,  can  be  had  by  addressing  Sabine  Kennel?, 
Orange,  Texas.  We  will  suggest  to  our  readers, 
that  a  reference  to  this  paragraph  will  be  appreciated 
by  the  manager  of  the  kennels. 

SPOKANE    OFFICIALS     DISQUALIFIED. 

The  initial  disqualifications  under  the  rule  adopted 
by  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board  (and  confirmed  by  the 
A.  K.  C),  is  the  disqualification  of  the  officers  of  the 
recent  Spokane  Kennel  Club  show — John  M.  Bunn, 
President;  Claude  D.  Bond,  Vice-President;  A.  B. 
Jackson,  Secretary;  Albert  Benham  and  A.  L.  Cris- 
man,  Directors.  

COAST    A.    K.    C.     CIKCCIT. 


Besides  San  Francisco,  Oakland  and  San  Mateo, 
there  will  be  Portland  and  most  probably  Seattle, 
Spokane  and  Tacoma  in  line  for  the  Coast  A.  K.  C. 
shows.  

Ridgewood  Doris,  the  young  Fox  Terrier  with  a  sen- 
sational career  that  was  purchased  by  M.  Gillette  from 
Mr.  George  Raper  for  a  tidy  sum,  has  recently  been 
added  to  the  Wandee  string  in  charge  of  Mr.  Stanley 
Lamas  at  Stapleton,  L.  I.  Doris  will  be  seen  at  the  W. 
K.  C.  show.  

Mr.  Payne  L.  Shatter  recently  sold  to  Mr.  Chas.  F. 
Mullins  his  well  broken  and  handsome  English  Setter 
Star  White.  Star  is  by  Daylight  (he  by  Starlight  W.) 
out  of  Swanhilda. 

Mrs.  J.  P.  Norman  had  the  misfortune  to  lose  an 
unusually  sweet  tricolor  Collie  bitch,  Montez  Tyehe, 
recently — a  victim  to  some  miscreant  who  designedly 
placed  poison  where  Tyche  could  get  It.  Tyche, 
although  a  bit  small  in  size  was  an  extremely  good 
type  of  Collie,  beautifully  marked  and  with  a  splendid 
coat.  She  won  at  several  shows,  regular  and  special 
prizes. 

Cuba  II  (St.  Leonard-Glad y's  Glover)  owned  by 
Mr.  M.  Coleman,  was  served  iast  week  by  W.  Wallace's 
crack  St.  Bernard  Ch.  Le  King  (Ch.  Le  Prince- 
Sylvia's  Lola).  Le  King  is  considered  to  be  the 
grandest  headed  St.  Bernard  on  the  Coast.  Cuba  won 
second  novice  at  the  S.  F.  K.  C.  show  last  year. 


Notwithst3nding  the  statute,  which  has  been  in 
force  for  several  years  past,  prescribing  a  penalty  for 
the  pollution  of  the  waters  of  the  State  by  refuse 
matter  from  factories,  mills,  etc.,  the  violation  of  this 
law  is  of  daily  and  persistent  recurrence. 

Aside  from  the  manifold  kinds  of  damage  and  in- 
conveniences resulting  from  the  refuse  in  the  bay 
waters  from  oil  refineries,  paint  works  and  other 
sources  of  the  combined  nuisances,  what  particularly 
concerns  most  of  our  readers  and  sportsmen  in  partic- 
ular is  the  effect  these  substances  have  upon  wild 
fowl,  fish,  oysters  and  other  marine  life  of  benefit  and 
use  to  the  community  at  large. 

The  nuisance  has  been  oommented  upon  in  these 
columns  repeatedly,  and  the  attention  of  the  authori- 
ties directed  to  the  law  violations,  but  so  far  there 
has  not  been  any  deviation  from  the  illegal  practice. 
We  believe  the  Fish  Commissioners  investigated  the 
matter  in  connection  with  complaints  made  against 
the  oil  refineries  at  Point  Richmond,  but  what  the 
outcome  of  that  investigation  was  has  not  been  made 
public — at  all  events  the  particular  nuisance  was  not 
abated. 

Not  long  ago  private  citizens  of  Oakland  caused  the 
arrest  of  a  ship's  officer  who  was  charged  with  being 
responsible  for  the  running  of  oil  refuse  into  Oakland 
creek.  ThiB  man  was  convicted  after  a  trial  and 
fined 

A  tannery  owner  in  Santa  Cruz  county  was  arrested 
on  information  filed  by  private  citizens.  The  case 
was  compromised;  the  tannery  man  promised  to  abate 
the  nuisance  and  put  certain  machinery  in  his  estab- 
lishment to  divert  his  particular  objectionable  stuff 
from  the  San  Lorenzo  river.  In  this  case  the  "stuff" 
had  annually  destroyed  large  quantities  of  fish. 

What  has  been  done  in  regard  to  objectionable 
matter  discharged  into  the  Truckee  river  at  Flpriston 
is  still  a  problem.  The  paper  mill  people  have  shown 
by  experts  that  the  refuse  complained  of  is  not  dele- 
terious to  fish.  Other  people,  anglers  in  particular, 
claim,  and  with  a  reason  based  upon  knowledge  and 
experience,  that  the  paper  mill  refuse  kills  fish  and  is 
decidedly  a  nuisance  otherwise. 

Within  the  past  three  weeks  several  thousand  wild 
ducks,  canvasbacks  and  bluebills  have  been  captured 
in  different  parts  of  San  Francisco  and  ,  San 
Pablo  bays,  the  poor  birds  were  so  thickly  covered 
with  slimy  oil  refuse  that  they  were  incapable  of  flight 
or  yet  of  swimming  and  diving,  Some  of  the  ducks 
and  other  sea  fowl  that  were  taken  on  the  east  side  of 
the  bay,  near  Emeryville,  were  helpless  by  reason  of 
coming  into  contact  with  sticky,  gluelike  refuse  from 
a  paint  factory.  In  Richardson's  bay  ducks  were 
caught  by  hundreds  by  men  and  boys  who  went  out 
after  the  disabled  birds  in  boats.  As  far  away  as  the 
Suisun,  Sonoma  and  Petaluma  marshes  were  birds 
found,  and  frequently  shot  by  hunters,  that  were 
covered  with  the  nauseous  oily  substance.  Canvas- 
backs  and  bluebills,  particularly  the  former  variety, 
would  make  for  the  shore  when  helpless  to  paddle 
about  and  feed  or  to  take  flight.  The  birds  after 
reaching  land  have  been  seen  to  make  futile  attemptB 
to  cleanse  themselves  of  the  slime.  In  a  ahort  time 
their  bills  would  become  coated  with  the  stuff  and 
their  feathers  bunched  together  in  tarry  tufts.  When 
the  birds  again  took  to  the  water,  their  plumage 
would  not  be  the  waterproof  coat  of  feathers  as  it 
naturally  should  be,  the  down  soon  became  soaked 
with  water  thus  adding  additional  distress  to  the 
bird's  plight.  Ducks  in  this  condition,  did  not  feed, 
in  fact  could  not  feed  and  became  in  a  short  time  ab- 
solutely helpless.  These  birds  if  not  captured  by  men, 
boys  or  dogs  soon  die  of  cold  and  hunger,  barring  those 
that  are  caught  by  'coons,  minks  and  water  rats. 

It  is  well  known  that  fish  taken  in  oily  waters  had 
a  flavor  that  made  them  unfit  for  the  table,  chicks  also 
have  been  found  to  be  permeated  with  the  unpalatable 
oily  taste. 

While  the  effects  on  wild  fowl,  particularly  those 
varieties  that  seek  the  salt  water  sections,  is  not  in- 
considerable, this  injury  to  the  commonwealth,  which 
has  evoked  strong  denunciation  from  sportsmen  and 
fair  minded  citizens,  is  not  to  be  compared  to  the 
damage  accruing  to  the  food  fishes  of  our  bays. 

There  is  no  body  of  salt  water  in  the  world  so  pro- 
lific, as  a  breeding  ground  and  producing  water,  in 
its  supply  of  food  fishes.  The  wonder  is  that  this 
originally  enormous  Bource  has  stood  without  a 
greater  shrinkage,  that  has  lately  been  so  apparent, 
the  incessant  and  wholesale  drafts  upon  our  bay 
waters  that  have  been  in  vogue — legal  and  illegal — for 
there  has  been  a  wasteful  prodigality  resorted  to  that 
will  receive  the  deserved  condemnation  in  the  near 
future  of  a  community  that  will  feel  the  effects  of  the 
present  day  indifference  to  so  important  a  matter. 

On  the  Contra  Costa  shores  of  San  Pablo  bay  long 
stretches  of  marsh  grass  can  be  seen  sodden  with  oil 
refuse,  from  a  distance  the  blackened  patches  of 
grasses  present  an  appearance  as  if  charred  by  in- 
numerable fires. 

The  oil  refuse  in  and  about  Richardsons  bay  is 
attributed  to  the  oil  barge  that  plies  between  Point 
Richmond  and  Sausalito.  The  stuff  is  pumped  from 
the  bilges  into  the  bay — this  violation  of  the  law  has 
has  been  noticed  daily  by  Tiburon  and  Belvedere 
observers  as  the  oil  craft  was  taken  through  Raccoon 
straits  channel. 

Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  Thomas  Woods  of  Oak- 
and  recently  began  proceedings  against  the  Paraffine 
Paint  Company,  whose  plant  is  located  at  Emeryville, 
for  the  purposes  of  stopping  that  concern  from  pollut- 
ing the  bay  water  with  refuse  from  their  establish- 
ment at  that  point.  Prom  this  particular  establish- 
ment the  damage  done  in  the  manner  alluded  to,  it  is

[January  28,  1905 


vears  past.  The  officials  of  the  Pish  Commission,  who 
*ere  notified  time  and  agaio,  and  whose  duty  it  was 
to  investigate  and  if  possible  abate  the  nuisance  have 
been  credited  with  holding  the  view  that  the  immense 
commercial  interests  concerned  were  of  more  import- 
ance than  th*  preservation  of  public  property--i.  e. 
food  fish,  shell  fish  and  crustaceans,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  dlreot  and  unimpeded  violation  of  a  law  adopted 
expressly  for  the  prevention  of  this  damaging  nui- 

SaCounty  officials  have  the  habit,  when  approached  by 
complaining  citizens,  to  refer  them  to  the  Fish  Com- 
mission for  action.  District  Attorneys,  in  cases  of 
this  character,  call  on  the  Commission  to  prosecute 
the  offender.  It  has  been  very  apparent  that  pros- 
ecutions on  this  score  have  been  as  scarce  as  hen  s 
t  eth.  .  .  ■ . 

Comparison  has  been  made  that  when  a  farmer  boy 
shoots  a  dove  out  of  season,  a  Jap  or  a  Frenchman 
ground  sluices  a  quail  or  if  the  unspeakable  hide 
hunter  is  reported  to  be  at  his  nefarious  work- 
several  hundred  miles  away  from  this  city,  the 
machinery  of  the  Board  is  set  in  motion  at  once  and 
an  official  representative  sent  off  post  haste  to  main- 
tain the  dignity  of  the  law  and  the  prestige  of  the 
tri-umvlrate  guardian  of  the  State's  fish  and  game. 
Selah'  and  let  it  go  at  that,  even  if  it  does  drag  a  few 
hundred  dollars,  more  or  less,  from  the  much  be- 
moaned attenuated  funds  of  the  Commission. 

And  now  a  word  to  the  sportsmen,  individual  and 
collective,  who  have  been  berating  the  existence  of 
conditions  that  produce  and  tolerate  the  nuisance  that 
is  patent  and  equally  objeetional  to  everybody.  The 
yachtsmen  took  action  successfully  in  the  Oakland 
creek  oil  nuisance  recently.  Why  not,  one  or  more, 
public  spirited  sportsmen  stop  growling  and  put  up 
the  necessary  money,  hire  a  competent  lawyer  and 
fight  the  case  to  an  issue- the  law  and  the  moral  sup 
port  of  the  community  will  back  the  project  to  a 
finish  If  the  apathy  of  the  law's  representatives 
retards  a  proper  settlement  of  the  matter,  eneagetic 
action  by  private  citizens  seems  to  be  the  only  re- 
course—save that  of  repea'ing  the  statute. 


Game  Law  Legislation. 

As  a  result  of  the  recent  agitation  by  the  "apostles" 
of  protection,  there  has  been  introduced  a  number  of 
biils  at  Sacramento,  all  more  or  less  opposite  in  their 
aims— with  the  one  exception,  and  that  is  the  "pro- 
tection" brand.  In  the  many  measures  introduced 
there  is,  of  course,  a  modicum  of  good.  Much  has 
been  said,  by  Bportsmen,  in  condemnation  of  the 
rapacity  of  the  market  hunter.  To  curb  the  in- 
dividual's game  slaughtering  propensities  and  inci- 
dental beating  of  the  present  bag  limit  law,  it  is 
advocated  that  the  sale  of  wild  fowl  be  prohibited  and 
the  individual  daily  bag  be  further  reduced.  These 
proposed  measures  have  aroused  strenuous  opposition 
from  the  press  of  the  State  and  are  unpopular  with 
the  mass  of  people.  In  this  respect  the  rank  and  file 
of  sportsmen  have  been  misled  by  a  fanatical,  if  not 
unprincipalled,  coterie  of  self-appointed  leaders  in  the 
good  cause  (?). 

The  measure  advocated  by  Senator  Wolfe  is  about 
the  most  sensible  effort  in  this  particular  that  we 
have  yet  heard  of.  Senator  Wolfe  does  not,  that  we 
are  aware  of,  pose  as  a  sportsman  or  angler  nor  does 
he  make  bombastic  speeches  on  game  protection  nor 
yet  write  statistical  articles  for  obscure  sporting 
papers  and  Eastern  magazines  showing  how  $8,000,000 
worth  of  outputs  from  all  kinds  of  factories  would  be 
slapped  if  game  protection  was  not  rigidly  enforced 
in  accordance  with  the  writer's  distorted  but  inter- 
ested propaganda. 

Senator  Wolfe's  bill  provides  that  market  hunters, 
dealers  and  purveyors  of  wild  fowl  shall  be  licensed. 
That  the  market  hunter  must  ship  his  game  to  mar- 
ket tagged  with  the  number  of  his  license  so  that  no 
more  than  one  limit  bag  daily  can  be  shipped  on  one 
individual's  license.  It  might  be  possible  to  get  around 
the  license  tag  by  one  individual  controlling  more 
than  one  license,  this  possibility  could  be  overcome  by 
an  imposition  of  an  individual  license  in  an  amount 
that  would  make  it  prohibitive  to  invest,  indirectly, 
in  many  of  them. 

It  lookB  aB  if  the  outcome  of  the  present  game  law 
agitation,  if  successful  in  certain  advocated  lines, 
*ould  place  the  main  body  of  the  sportsmen  of  this 
State  in  the  same  plight  the  frogs  where  when  they 
chose  a  stork  the  ruler  of  the  bog. 

One  sentiment  gaining  ground,  and  a  dangerous  one 
fcr  J,he  reasonable  interests  of  all  sportsmen,  is  the 
assertion  by  the  daily  press  that  the  majority  of  the 
measures  "advocated  by  so-called  sportsmen"  is  in 
thelineof  legislation  for  a  privileged  class.  This  claim 
is  not  as  far  fetched  as  it  seems  to  the  sportsmen — 
for  much  of  the  chaogeB  claimed  are  practically 
favorable  to  the  interests  of  a  minority  of  the  users  of 
the  shotgun  and  rifle  in  this  State.  While  the  changes 
urged  may  be  favorable  to  the  comparative  few  and 
in  the  line  of  game  protection  for  the  few,  the  effect  of 
such  protective  changes  will  be  the  perpetuation  of 
its  benefits  for  a  favored  class.  This  is  not  in  the 
spirit  of  the  law  nor  ia  it  reasonable  game  projection. 
The  wild  game  of  this  State  does  not  belong  to  the 
gun  clubs,  or  even  to  the  owners  of  the  land  upon 
which  it  is  found.  It  belongs  to  the  whole  people  of 
ths  State  and  legislation  to  protect  it  must  be  drawn 
In  the  interest  of  the  whole  people.  The  first  essential 
of  a  just  game  law  Is  that  it  should  bear  equally  upon 
all  persons.  Whatever  restrictions  are  necessary  let 
them  apply  to  all;  whatever  privileges  are  granted, 
let  them  be  enjoyed  by  all. 

It  was  intimated  in  this  journal  that  at  the  recent 
game  association  meeting,  at  Visalia,  much  of  the  good 
stuff  touted  and  eloquently  advocated  as  the  real 
thinf-  in  game  protection  was  iloated  for  a  temporary 
purnose  and  that  the  crux  of  the  game  law  changes, 
orouaced  with  the  alleged  backing  of  the  association, 
•"  d  appear  when  the  "apostles"  showed  their  hand 


at  Sacramento.  Our  prophesy  has  not  been  un- 
founded, for  there  are  material  differences  in  the 
changes  submitted  as  compared  with  the  much  touted 
good  things  originally  agreed  upon.  The  departure 
from  original  lines  is  so  pronounced  in  certain  matters, 
that  sportsmen  interested  in  fair  play  and  the  con- 
servation of  proper  game  laws  have  taken  it  upon 
themselves  to  go  to  Sacramento  and  combat  the 
subtle  influences  of  bad  faith  in  an  effort  to  champion 
the  cause  of  right  and  the  equitable  privileges  of  the 
sportsmen  of  the  State. 


The  Anglers'  Club. 


A  number  of  enthusiastic  devotees  of  the  rod  met 
on  Monday  evening  last  and  organized  the  Anglers' 
Club.  With  the  San  Francisco  Fly-Casting  Club,  the 
Pacific  Striped  Bass  Club  and  the  San  Francisco 
Striped  Bass  Club  already  in  the  field  and  also  popular 
organizations,  it  would  follow  in  most  any  other  city 
that  this  particular  groove  was  fairly  well  filled.  In- 
stead of  that,  and  assuredly  without  any  reflective 
comparison  aimed  at  the  older  clubs,  we  are  pleased 
to  note  that  there  is  room  and  a  welcome  place  for 
the  newly  formed  club.  Its  objects  are,  the  advance- 
ment of  amateur  angling,  propagation  and  protection 
of  game  fish,  the  bringing  nearer  together  all  desciples 
o  Izaak  Walton  and  the  amalgamation  of  all  lovers  of 
the  gentle  art  into  one  conservative  body. 

In  this  most  worthy  design  the  gentlemen  members 
of  the  new  club  have  our  best  wishes  and  can  rely 
upon  the  support  of  this  journal  in  the  furtherance  of 
the  club's  aim  for  the  general  good  it  may  and  can  do 
sportsmen  and  anglers.  We  wish  the  Anglers'  Club 
every  success. 

At  the  organization  meeting  the  roll  was  signed  by 
60  charter  members  and  the  following  board  of  officers 
were  elected:  President,  John  H.  Sammi;  First  Vice- 
President,  Samuel  Wells;  Second  Vice-President,  W. 
Halstead;  Secretary,  Clarence  Ashlin;  Directors — 
Jabez  Swan,  R.  Haas,  C.  Ashlin,  Bert  Spring,  Sam 
Wells,  J.  H.  Sammi,  John  Butler,  George  Wentwortb, 
W.  Halstead  and  J.  Flynn. 

Quarters  will  soon  be  secured  and  it  is  sanguinely 
expected  that  the  membership  will  soon  be  over  100. 


The  Shaded  Valley. 

The  late  Leland  K.  Kerchival,  a  well  known  attache 
of  the  Board  of  Fish  Commissioners:,  was  popular  with 
sportsmen  of  this  State.  He  was  noted  as  being  a 
conscientious,  fearless  and  painstaking  officer.  His 
loss  as  a  State  officer  is  one  to  be  regretted.  His  un- 
timely passing  away  was  a  sad  blow  to  surviving 
relatives  and  a  wide  circle  of  friends. 


Charles  T.  Baird,  the  armless  shooter,  passed  away 
in  Marysville  on  January  23d.  He  was  a  frequent 
visitor  at  various  gun  club  shoots  and  used  a  "pump" 
gun  with  remarkable  skill  considering  that  he  was  a 
cripple.  He  was  but  28  years  of  age,  his  demise  was 
due  to  natural  causes. 


We  regret  sincerely  to  note  the  reported  disap- 
pearance of  Horace  H.  Briggs  from  his  residence  on 
Sherman  island.  Mr.  Briggs  has  not  been  heard  from 
since  January  3d.  On  that  day  he  went  away  from 
his  house  in  a  skiff,  the  boat  was  subsequently  found 
in  the  tules  on  the  levee,  one  oar  and  an  oarlock  were 
missing,  the  only  vestige  of  its  last  known  occupant 
was  his  coat  which  was  in  the  bottom  of  the  boat. 

Horace  Briggs  is  well  known  to  the  sportsmen  of 
this  Coast  as  a  magazine  and  newspaper  writer  of 
more  than  ordinary  abilities. 

We  trust  sincerely  that  these  lines,  presaging  dis- 
aster to  our  friend,  are  premature. 


GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


QUAIL    RE-STOCKING, 

The  respective  keepers  of  the  Country  Club  and 
Point  Reyes  Sportsmen's  Club  will  endeavor  to  secure 
a  number  of  quails  that  frequent  the  heavily  wooded 
sections  of  the  club  preserves,  districts  that  are  too 
hard  to  hunt  over.  The  birds  will  be  liberated  on 
other  tracts  having  suitable  cover  so  that  by  next 
season  ihe  birds  may  have  bred  numerously  enough 
to  re-stock  the  favorite  shooting  localities. 


A    MUSEUM    AT    PACIFIC    GROVE. 

Mr.  W.  H.  Varian,  a  popular  and  crack  trapshooter, 
who  hails  from  Pacific  Grove,  Monterey  county,  has 
recently  erected  a  fine  new  building  in  the  pretty 
town  by  the  sea  and  proposes  to  fit  up  the  business 
portion  of  the  new  house  in  a  manner  in  keeping 
with  the  increasingdemands  of  a  growing  community. 

Mr.  Varian's  sanctum  will  be  the  repository'  of 
many  beautiful  and  rare  plants  and  also  a  collection 
of  mounted  birds  and  stuffed  animals  that  Is  worthy 
of  the  attention  of  visiting  sportsmen. 


many  flocks  of  wild  ducks  whose  course  caused  them 
to  pass  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  lake  of  oil,  have 
swooped  down  Into  the  sticky  substance,  mistaking  it 
for  a  body  of  water.  With  wings  and  feathers  satur- 
ated with  the  heavy  oil  few  of  them  were  able  to  make 
their  escape.  Amusing  reportB  are  made  of  "divers" 
making  the  same  mistake  by  plunging  deep  into  the 
oil  atd  waddling  to  the  surface  with  evident  surprise." 

BOBCATS    ELECTROCUTED. 

Two  wildcats  caused  every  town  and  hundreds  of 
homes  in  the  San  Bernardino  valley  to  experience 
total  darkness  for  two  hours  one  night  last  week. 
Between  Ontario  and  Azusa  the  romping  beasts  sped 
up  a  pole  carrying  the  high  tension  electric  wires  of 
the  Pacific  Lighting  Company,  got  mixed  among  the 
lines  and  caused  a  short  circuit  of  15,000  voltage.  It 
took  a  long  time  to  locate  the  trouble  and  turn  the 
current  on  the  reserve  wires.  The  incinerated  bodies 
of  the  cats  were  found  the  next  day  among  the  cross- 
arms  on  the  pole,  where  electrocution  bad  ended  their 
frolic.  Among  the  dozen  towns  which  suffered  were 
San  Bernardino,  Redlands,  Colton,  Chino,  Upland, 
Ontario  and  Claremont. 


A  Remarkable  Record  by  a  One-Armed  Shooter. 

John  A.  Flick,  of  Ravenna,  O.,  a  one  armed  shooter, 
and  a  staunch  advocate  and  admirer  of  the  only  gun, 
in  his  estimation,  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker,  has 
done  some  magnificent  shooting  with  the  new  auto- 
matic ejector  in  his  hands.  At  Cleveland,  O.,  Sept. 
28,  Mr.  Flick  won  high  general  average.  Also  a  cup 
on  straight  score,  beating  such  men  as  Upson,  Snow, 
LeCompte,  Trimble,  etc.  At  the  Portage  county 
tournament  Oct.  4  and  5,  Mr.  Flick  won  third  general 
average,  tying  C.  A.  Young  and  Hikes,  beating  out 
all  other  professionals.  On  the  last  day  he  was  second 
high  average.  Akron,  O.,  Oct.  12,  second  general 
average,  and  December  14,  high  general  average.  At 
Portage  County  Gun  Club,  Dec.  15,  he  defended  the  Tri- 
County  badge  against  Mr.  Waggoner,  of  Akron,  with 
a  score  of  93  out  of  100,  against  Mr.  Waggoner's  88. 

R.  C.  Derk  of  Northumberland,  Pa.,  has  been  mak- 
ing some  remarkable  records  with  his  Parker  gun  at 
live  birds.  Live  bird  shooting  is  the  severest  test  to 
which  a  gun  can  be  put,  and  Mr.  Derk 's  record  reflects 
credit  on  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker  gun.  At  live 
birds  on  Aug.  27,  Mr.  Derk  killed  25  straight.  On 
Oct.  8,  12  out  of  13;  Nov.  5,  10  out  of  12;  on  Dec.  31,  13 
out  of  15;  on  Jan.  5,  25  straight,  making  a  total  of  85 
out  of  90.

Something  To  Be  Proud  Of. 

The  awarding  of  the  grand  prize  to  the  Winchester 
Repeating  Arms  Company.  New  Haven,  Conn.,  at  the 
St.  Louis  Exposition  confers  upon  this  company  the 
highest  maik  of  distinction  attained  by  any  manu- 
facturer of  guns  or  ammunition  in  the  world.  Al- 
though a  great  number  of  medals  were  given  to  this 
class  of  manufacturers,  the  only  award  of  a  grand 
prize  was  to  the  Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Com- 
pany and  given  as  it  was  in  competition  with  the  lead- 
ing manufacturers  of  all  countries,  it  testifies  in  a 
most  decided  way  to  the  superiority  of  Winchester 
rifles,  shotguns  and  ammunition  over  all  other  makes. 
The  success  attained  by  the  Winchester  Repeating 
Arms  Company  at  this  exposition  is  simply  in  line 
with  the  honors  received  in  the  past.  At  the  Paris 
Exposition  Winchester  arms  and  ammunition  received 
the  Grand  Prix,  and  wherever  they  have  been  exhib- 
ited they  have  always  been  given  the  highest  possible 
prices.  This  latest  recognition  of  superiority  is  the 
natural  result  of  30  years  of  careful  and  successful 
endeavor  in  maintaining  the  high  quality  of  Winches- 
ter rifles,  shotguns  and  ammunition. 


Good  Averages  Reported. 


DUCKS     STRUCK     OIL. 

The  Santa  Barbara  Independent  states  the  following: 
"The  Union  Oil  Company  which  recently  struck  the 
big  gusher  in  the  Santa  Maria  field,  was  not  only  sur- 
prised at  striking  oil  at  the  depth  at  which  it  was 
found,  but  unwittingly  sprung  a  surprise  on  the  wild 
ducks  which  abound  in  large  numbers  in  that  section 
of  the  oountry.  With  oil  spouting  from  the  well  at 
the  rate  of  about  ten  thousand  barrels  a  day  and  with 
no  adequate  storage  facilities,  it  was  necessary  to 
construct  dams  at  intervals  along  the  canyon  leading 
from  the  well  in  the  direction  of  Orcut  station  and  to 
excavate  a  great  reservoir.  At  present  there  is  a 
reservoir  of  considerable  depth  covering  a  territory 
of  about  seven  acres  and  it  is  filled  with  the  product 
of  the  gusher.    Within  the  past  few  days,  it  is  reported 


Butte,  Montana,  in  the  closing  season  of  the  Butte 
Gun  Club,  Mr.  E.  F.  Confarr,  of  Livingston,  Mont., 
won  the  Peters  medal  with  the  best  Bcore  of  the 
season  with  a  total  of  507  out  of  550.  He  shot  "In-

A  New  Gun. 


The  Ithaca  Arms  Company  will  put  on  the  market 
this  year  a  new  gun — a  $20  shotgun  that  is  the  biggest 
proposition  in  the  way  of  a  low  priced  popular  shot- 
gun ever  called  to  the  attention  of  sportsmen  of  this 
country.  r 

Tne  gun  will  be  of  good  quality  and  guaranteed  as 
are  the  other  grades  of  Ithaca  gun.  It  will  have  all 
of  the  good  points  of  the  higher  priced  guns  of  their 
make,  half  pistol  grip  and  smokeless  powder  steel 
barrels.  The  Ithaca  Field  gun  is  destined  to  be  a 
popular  gun  if  merit  and  price  are  any  inducements.

THE   FARM. 


Care  of  Pure  Bred  Cattle. 


It  ia  plain  that  some  men  who  buy  pure 
bred  animals  for  the  farm  do  not  know- 
how  to  take  care  of  them,  says  Breeder's 
Gazette.  Scrub  care  means  scrub  ani- 
mals. 

Therefore  there  is  absolutely  no  sense 
in  any  farmer  purchasing  pure  bred  stock 
unless  he  has  his  mind  fully  made  up  to 
give  it  pure  bred  care.  Tbia  ia  very 
much  of  an  old  Btory,  but  the  admonition 
cannot  be  too  frequently  repeated.  This 
Bhould  not  discourage  any  farmer  from 
purchasing  pure  bred  animals.  He 
Bhould,  however,  before  doing  so  have 
thought  the  matter  out  carefully  to  the 
end  that  he  may  be  prepared  to  care  for 
them  properly. 

It  is  beyond  question  that  the  gospel  of 
good  blood  has  received  more  persecution 
on  account  of  scrub  fed,  well  bred  ani- 
mals than  on  any  other  account.  Take 
the  grandest  pure  bred  cow  that  ever  won 
a  ribbon  in  a  show  ring,  subject  her  to 
care  that  would  do  justice  to  a  scrub,  and 
what  between  the  straw  stack  and  the 
barb  wire  her  breeder  would  not  know 
her  in  twenty-four  months;  hence  the 
point  is  that  no  farmer  Bhould  lightly  un- 
dertake the  maintenance  and  reproduc- 
tion of  pure  bred  animals,  If  he  has  not 
first  studied  out  the  principles  governing 
the  industry  he  would  far  better  Btick  to 
his  ecrubB  and  never  get  beyond  them. 

Breed  and  feed  go  together.  It  has 
been  under  conditions  generated  by  high 
feeding  and  good  Bhelter  that  the  im- 
provement of  cattle  and  other  farm  ani- 
mals has  been  wrought,  and  without  a 
continuance  of  such  conditions  success 
cannot  be  attained. 

Not  long  ago  a  good  feed  ngfarmer  sent 
a  nine-year-old  Shorthorn  cow  that  had 
stopped  breeding  to  the  shambles.  She 
scaled  1550  pounds  and  Bold  for  $5  per

Scab  and  Mange. 


Secretary  Wilson  haB  made  a  statement 
to  CongreBB  asking  for  an  additional  de 
ficiency  appropriation  of  $150,000  for  the 
Bureau  of  Animal  Industry.  He  stated 
that  the  inspection  of  interstate  and  for- 
eign trade  in  sheep  and  cattle  has  been 
greater  than  was  contemplated,  and  that 
the  diseases  mentioned  have  spread  over 
a  great  part  of  the  West,  necessitating  the 
inspection  of  all  Western  sheep  and  cattle 
shipped  ;  also  to  attempt  the  eradication 
of  the  diseases.  The  exportation  of  sheep 
affected  with  scabies,  he  says,  has  had  a 
bad  influence  upon  our  export  aheep  trade. 
In  1902  sheep  exports  to  Great  Britain 
were  211 ,000,  of  which  4900  were  in  fected  ; 
in  1903  such  exports  were  111,000,  with 
3600  infected.  The  first  regulations  of 
the  department  for  the  control  of  thiB 
disease  went  into  effect  in  1896.  In  1895, 
350,000  sheep  were  exported  to  Great 
Britain,  of  which  89,000  were  infected  ; 
in  1896,  422,700  were  exported,  of  which 
42,700  were  infected,  while  the  figures  for 
recent  years  ahow  a  great  decrease,  the 
Secretary  states  that  the  infected  sheep 
are  much  more  numerous  than  four  or 
five  years  ago,  and  he  proposes  that  the 
government  co-operate  with  the  States 
for  the  complete  eradication  of  the  Bcab- 
ies.  The  Secretary  reports  encouragingly 
on  cattle  mange  or  scab,  to  eradicate 
which  a  vigorous  campaign  has  been  made 
during  1904  by  the  department  in  co-op- 
eration with  the  State  authorities   where 


the  disease  exists.  The  Secretary  says: 
"I  consider  it  of  the  utmoBt  importance 
to  the  cattle  and  sheep  industry  of  the 
United  States  and  to  the  maintenance 
of  the  export  trade  in  live  Bheep  and  cattle 
that  this  diseass  should  be  completely 
suppressed,  and  this  ran  be  done  with 
thorough  work  in  the  course  of  a  few 
years.  Any  lessening  of  the  inspection 
or  the  suspension  of  the  work  for  even  a 
Bhort  time  would  be  followed  by  the  re- 
infection of  the  territory  which  has  al- 
ready been  freed  from  the  disease,  and 
would  undowhat  has  been  accomplished. " 


A  dairyman  said  to  the  editor  of  the 
Breeder,  Field  and  Farm  the  other  day  : 
"When  I  was  a  boy,  my  mother  told  me 
never  to  feed  a  young  calf  dry  meal,  but 
like  most  people  I  had  to  lose  one  or  two 
before  I  knew  this  for  myself.  Dry  corn 
meal  is  very  indigestible  stuff  on  an  old 
horse'a  atomach,  often  causing  inflamma- 
tion, colic,  etc  ,  even  when  fed  with  some 
bran.  My  way  of  feeding  meal,  waa  to 
either  bake  a  Johnny  cake  or  mix  two- 
thirds  bran  with  one-third  meal  and  atir 
in  a  small  quantity  of  sour  milk.  If  a 
Bmall  calf  is  given  too  much  sour  milk  it 
will  become  pot-bellied  and  then  it  will 
eat  and  bawl  and  never  do  anything  else. 
I  begin  by  giving  thick  milk  mixed  with 
warmed  6weet  milk  and  after  the  calves 
getusedtoit,  I  give  them  all  they  will 
drink  readily  every  time  and  come  after 
it.  Afterwards  I  giye  thick  milk  with  a 
Bmall  quantity  of  bran  and  meal  mixed. 
Plenty  of  sour  milk  alone  will  raise  as  big 
a  calf  as  aweet,  but  will  not  fatten  it.  I 
have  fed  two — one  aweet  milk  from  the 
cow,  the  other  thick  milk.  The  sweet  milk 
calf  did  not  grow  bo  fast,  as  the  other, 
but  became  fine  veal  I  have  also  made 
a  veal  calf  with  sour  milk  and  bran  and 
meal." 


Sheep  Shearings. 


A  contract  system  of  milking  is  in  vogue 
on  some  farmB  in  Denmark.  Women  do 
the  milking  and  are  paid  according  to 
the  amount  of  milk  they  extract  from  the 
cowa  or  the  quantity  of  butter  fat  con- 
tained in  it.  The  latter  system  is  regarded 
as  the  better  as  it  induces  the  milkers 
to  strip  the  cow  carefully,  knowing  that 
the  richeBt  milk  is  in  the  strippings 
The  milkers  receive  a  certain  amount  of 
money  weekly  and  twice  a  year  are  given 
what  additional  amount  iB  coming  to 
tbem  on  the  basis  of  the  fat  contents  of  the 
milk. 

The  loss  from  careless  milking  in  the 
United  States  amounts  to  one  tenth  of  a 
pound  of  fat  per  day  for  each  cow. 
Thorough  milking  and  udder  manipula- 
tion would  increase  the  value  of  the  milk 
given  by  the  eighteen  million  cows  in 
the  United  States  over  present  production 
by  $100,000,000  a  year.  This  is  equal  to 
five  per  cent  on  two  billion  dollara.  That 
is, careful  milking  would  increase  the  dairy 
capitalization    of    the    country     by    that 

amount. 

-♦ 

A  correspondent  of  the  Bural  World 
vouches  for  the  following  recipe  for  curing 
meat.  l'To  one  gallon  of  water  take  two 
and  one-half  pounds  salt,  one-half  pound 
sugar,  one-half  ounce  potsh;  in  this 
ratio  the  pickle  can  be  increased  to  any 
quantity  desired.  Boil  these  ingredients 
together  until  all  the  scum  rises  and  is 
■kimmed  off.  After  it  has  cooled,  pour 
over  your  pork  or  beef.  The  meat  must 
be  well  covered  with  the  pickle  and  should 
not  be  put  down  for  at  least  two  days 
after  killing,  during  which  time  it  should 
be  lightly  sprinkled  with  powdered  salt- 
peter, which  removes  the  surface  blood, 
etc.,  leaving  the  meat  freBh  and  clean. 
If  this  recipe  is  Btrictly  followed  the  meat 
will  be  unsurpassed  for  sweetness,  deli- 
cacy and  freshness  of  color." 

Any  dust  or  dirt  allowed  to  get  into  the 
milk  will  not  be  easily  got  out.  The  sur- 
est way  to  kill  a  customer  is  to  nar.d  out 
filthy  milk.  Brush  off  the  dust  from  each 
cow's  udder  before  milking.     It  pays. 


Sheep  are  always  improving  or  they  are 
deteriorating. 

When  you  buy  a  Bheep  for  breeding  be 
sure  it  ie  better  than  what  you  have. 

The  secret  of  successful  sheep  husbandry 
is  to  keep  good  sheep  and  in  small  flocks. 
Unless  there  is  a  continued  effort  to  im- 
prove the  flocks  they   will  go  backward 
instead  of  forward. 

In  purchasing  a  ram,  get  one  fully  de- 
veloped, Btrong  in  limb,  straight-shaped 
and  thoroughly  typical  in  his  breed. 

If  a  radical  change  in  the  rations  is 
made  too  Buddenly,  growth  of  body  and 
fleece  is  liable  to  suffer  a  check. 

The  lamb  carcass  can  be  produced  for 
less  than  the  aged  6heep  carcass  and  will 
sell  for  one  fourth  more  in  market. 

Uniformity  in  wool  can  only  be  accom- 
plished by  regular  feeding  and  keeping 
the  sheep  in  a  healthy  and  thriving  con- 
dition. 

Feeders  are  higher  than  usual,  necessi- 
tating greater  care  in  the  management  of 
flocks,  if  the  profits  are  to  be  maintained. 
Wool  must  grow,  steadily  and  uniformly 
as  it  will  have  points,  that  is,  weak  places 
here  and  there  that  are  very  damaging. 
Considerable  money  was  made  last  year 
feeding  sheep.  SbipmentB  from  ranges 
last  fall  were  larger  than  they  have  ever 
been  before. 

At  the  weaning  time  the  best  opportun- 
ity is  given  for  determining  the  value  of 
the  breeding  ewes.  A  large,  fair  lamb 
is  better  recommendation  than  a  heavy 
fleece. 

Over-feeding  or  sudden  changes  from 
poor  to  very  rich  food,  combined  with 
want  of  exercise,  if  not  actual  causes  will 
contribute  to  the  development  of  the  loss 
of  wool  among  ewes. 

Peter  Jensen,  the  veteran  sheep-grower, 
advises  shippers  to  put  the  guant,  hungry 
and  tired  aheep  from  the  ranges  on  prairie 
grass  and  Btubble  fields  before  feeding 
grain.  They  need  to  get  accustomed  to 
the  new  surroundings  and  in  the  yards 
need  hay  and  roughage  in  plenty

Milk  Capacity  of  a  Cow 


A  cow,  with  reaaonable  care  and  feed, 
ought  to  average  from  five  to  eight  quarts 
of  milk  per  milking  at  least  ten  monthB 
of  the  year;  eleven  months  is  better. 
This  average  would  mean  eight  to  six 
quarts  of  milk  per  milking  during  the 
first  months  of  the  lactation  period  and 
less  later.  From  this  amount  of  milk, 
with  proper  management,  from  one  to 
two  pounds  of  butter  per  day  should  be 
made  at  first,  with  correspondingly  less 
later.

Dairy   Tinware 


A  man  or  woman  who  handles  tinware 
that  is  used  in  the  dairy  ought  to  have  a 
first-class  "Bmeller."  That  is,  he  or  she 
Bhould  be  able  to  detect  every  odor  which 
will  taint  the  milk  or  injure  the  flavor  of 
the  butter  and  then  work  faithfully  to 
get  rid  of  that  taint.  This  is  the  one 
thing  that  must  be  done  to  make  butter 
that  will  tup  the  market  —Farm  Journal.

For  a  long  series  of  yearB  the  horse  mar- 
ket baa  been  a  succession  of  ups  and 
downs.  Since  1903  the  general  tendency 
has  been  upward,  the  price  of  choice 
drafters  in  the  large  wholesale  market 
having  advanced  about  $6  on  the  average 
of  aalea.  Demand  seems  to  have  more 
than  kept  up  with  the  supply,  notwith- 
standing the  supposed  influence  cf  auto- 
mobile carriages,  wagons  and  trucks, 
trolley  lines  and  the  like.  The  high  price 
of  human  labor  encourages  the  substitu- 
tion of  horse  labor  whenever  possible  to 
any  extent.  For  instance  the  city  con. 
tractors  who  are  constantly  hauling  loads 
of  earth  and  rubbioh  in  connection  with 
building  contracts  have  lately  taken  to 
using  heavier  draft  horaes  able  to  haul 
two  and  three  cubic  yards  of  earth  where 
formerly  one  cubic  yard  was  rated  a  load. 
In  this  way  one  driver  can  haul  at  least 
twice  as  much  as  with  a  light  team  or  a 
lingle  team.  The  growth  of  teamiug  in 
cities  has  been  more  rapid  than  the  in- 
crease in  supply  of  horses,  and  this  ten- 
dency is  likely  to  continue  for  some  time.

Goose  Culture. 

[A.  V.  Meersch  in  Amerloan  Poultry  Advocate] 

Those  people  wbo  have  access  to  a  good 
grass  run,  and  who  are  thinking  of  keep- 
ing geese,  probably  the  most  profitable  of 
all  our  domestic  fowls,  should  now  (very 
early)  make  a  commencement,  if  not  al- 
ready done  so. 

Geese  should  be  procured  in  the  fall, 
because  they  take  such  a  long  while  to 
settle  down  in  a  fresh  place,  and  to  make 
themselves  at  home.  So  much  in  fact 
are  they  effected  by  a  change  of  abode 
that  if  it  occurs  within  two  or  three 
months  of  the  time  when  eggs  are  ex- 
pected, which  should  be  in  February  the 
probability  is,  that  they  will  either  not 
come  on  to  lay,  or  if  they  do,  that  many 
of  the  eggs  will  be  unfertile.  If  a  begin- 
ning is  made  with  goslings  it  ii  well  to 
note  that  propably  they  may  not  lay 
nest  year,  for  geese,  aB  a  rule  do  not 
breed  before  they  are  two  years  old.  If 
older  birds  are  preferred,  thej  should  be 
obtained  from  Bomeone  who  can  be  re- 
lied upon. 

Though  geese  live  for  many  years  and 
continue  productive,  there  is  a  limit  to 
their  powers;  and  it  is  no  unusual  thing 
for  those  that  are  offered  for  sale,  to  be 
too  old  for  use.  Three  geese  are  sufficient 
to  run  with  one  gander. 

To  ensure  the  fertility  of  the  eggs,  the 
birds  require  water  to  swim  in.  If  there 
is  no  stream  or'pond  available,  a  good 
sized  tub  sunk  in  the  ground  will  answer 
the  purpose. 

The  stock  geese  do  not  require  meal  or 
other  fattening  food.  They  will  forage  for 
themselves  to  a  great  extent  by  eating 
grass,  and  a  light  feed  of  oats  or  other 
grain  in  the  morning  is  all  that  is  nec- 
cessary. 

There  are  several  breeds  of  geese.  A 
cross  between  the  Embden  and  the  Tou- 
louse makes  a  very  large,  quick-growing 
bird.  If  bred  from  the  Embden  gander 
and  a  Toulouse  goose,  the  offspring  will 
be  mostly  white,  the  feathers  more  valu- 
able. Stock  geese  must  be  large  in  frame 
and  long  and  deep  in  body.  Small  geese 
are  hardly  worth  growing,  just  as  cheap 
to  pay  a  little  more  and  to  start  with 
birds  that  will  rear  large,  plump  goslings. 
Geese  that  are  sufficiently  matured  and 
that  have  not  changed  their  quarters 
since  the  last  of  October,  will  in  most 
districts  commence  to  lay  in  February; 
young  geese  do  not  lav  as  many  fertile 
eggs  in  the  first  season  aB  they  do  in  the 
Becond,  neither  do  any  geese  do  well,  if 
they  have  recently  been  moved  from  one 
place  to  another.  The  stock  birds  will 
lay  for  many  years,  and  the  eggs  will 
prove  fertile,  while  the  birds  are  old. 
Some  people  keep  the  same  geese  for  over 
ten  years,  while  there  are  instances  of 
geese  having  lived  for  upward  of  half  a 
century.

The  best  time  for  goslings  to  be  hatched 
is  in  March  or  April.  The  eggs  can  be 
hatched  under  an  ordinary  hen  as  well  as 
a  goose.  If  they  are  placed  under  the 
former,  the  eggs  must  he  well  sprinkled 
several  times  with  warm  water  to  prevent 
the  shells  becoming  too  hard.  A  goose 
will  cover  from  thirteen  to  sixteen  eggs. 
Most  geese  will  sit  well,  and  will  come 
off  their  eggs  to  feed  and  return  to  them 
again  of  their  own  accord.  The  period  of 
incubation  is  thirty  days. 

When  the  goslings  are  hatched,  they 
must  be  placed  with  their  mother  in  a 
coop  near  some  short  grass.  Water  to 
drink  should  be  supplied  in  a  shallow  pan 
or  dish,  but  the  young  oneB  must  not  be 
allowed  to  swim;  neither  should  they 
have  access  to  long  wet  grass,  before  they 
are  at  least  two  weeks  old.  For  the  first 
two  days  they  should  be  fed  on  bread 
crumbs,  after  that  on  ground  oats  mixed 
with  bread  crumbs  and  moistened  with 
milk,  and  at  the  end  of  two  weeks  on 
barley  meal.  Goslings  are  an  ongst  the 
hardiest  and  the  most  easily  and  inex- 
pensive reared  of  all  poultry. 

Goslings,  for  the  first  week  after  they 
are  batched  will  do  well  on  a  little  oat- 
meal thrown  into  their  drinkiDg  water  in 
addition  to  the  grass  they  will  nibble. 
Some  breeders  give  scalded  cracked  corn 
and  others  hard  boiled  eggs  chopped  up 
and  bread  crumbs  mixed  with  cut  up 
greens.  After  about  two  weeks,  the  coop 
which  the  goose  and  her  goslings  have 
inhabited  can  be  removed,  and  they  can 
be  allowed  to  make  their  way  to  the 
water  and  enjoy  themselves  in  it.  They 
will  after  this  grow  at  a  rapid  rate.  The 
supply  of  grass,  must  always  be  ample 
and  there  must  be  an  opportunity  for  the 
young  birds  to  get  into  the  shade  or  they 
will  be  liable  to  be  affected  by  the  heat  of 
the  Bun.  If  they  can  be  turned  out  later 
on,  into  the  stubble  field  getting  as 
much  grain  and  weeds  as  they  can  eat, 
they  will  add  three  or  four  pounds  to  their 
and  be  in  good  condition  for  killing. 

They  are  called  "green  geese."  But  if 
they  are  not  killed  after  this  good  feeding 
on  the  stubbles  they  will  lose  weight  for  a 
time  and  become  thin,  if  only  allowed 
grass  to  eat. 

And  as  to  geese  in  the  fall  I  shall  say, 
that  when  commencing  to  keep  geese,  it 
is  not  desirable  to  move  the  birds  as  al- 
ready explained  herein,  after  the  end  of 
October  or  the  beginning  of  November,  aa 
they  take  bo  long  to  get  over  the 
move  and  to  settle  comfortably  in  fresh 
quarters,  that  if  it  occurs  within  three 
months  of  the  time  when  eggs  are  usually 
expected,  the  probability  is,  that  the 
geeBe  will  not  come  on  to  lay.  They  even 
breed  better  the  second  Benson  after  they 
have  been  on  that  particular  land  than 
they  do  the  first,  which  shows  that  any 
change  disturbs  them  and  that  they  do 
not  make  themselves  thoroughly  at  home 
for  some  months  to  expire. 

Ab  before  said,  if  young  geese  are  chosen 
to  begin  with,  it  may  be  found  that  they 
do  not  lay  until  the  Becond  season,  or  if 
they  do  the  eggB  generally  do  not  hatch. 
Purchasing  old  geese,  caution  is  neces- 
sary, and  as  owners  are  not  alwayB  will- 
ing to  part  with  well  bred  and  profitable 
birds,  it  aB  well  to  go  to  some  one  who 
can  be  depended  upon,  There  is  no  way 
of  telling  geese  that  are  fifteen  years  old 
from  those  that  are  only  three.  Many 
people,  including  those  who  are  accus- 
tomed to  have  to  do  with  geese,  are  un- 
able to  tell  a  gander  from  a  goose.  One 
of  the  simplest  ways  to  tell  this  is  to 
note  the  voice.  After  the  gosling  are 
twelve  weeks  old,  their  voices  "break," 
when  the  gander  may  be  recognized  by 
his  shrill  and  clear  note,  while  that  of 
the  goose  is  deeper  and  lower  in  pitch. 
Tbie  may  be  specially  heard,  when  they 
will  call  to  one  another.  The  gander  can 
also  be  distinguished  by  his  upright 
carriage  and  by  hia  being  more  watchful 
and  alert  than  the  goose. 

GeeBe  that  are  intended  for  stock  pur- 
poses do  not  require  special  feeding;  they 
need  only  to  be  maintained  in  good, 
healthy  condition,  and  this  will  be  done 


if  they  have  plenty  of  exercise  and  access 
to  unlimited  grass.  A  slight  feed  of  oats 
before  dusk  may  be  beneficial.  Geese  are 
killed  at  two  periods:  as  green  geese, 
when  they  have  attained  a  size  large 
enough  for  the  table,  and  after  they  have 
reached  their  full  growth.  The  flesh  of 
the  green  goose  is  considered  more  ten- 
der and  of  better  flavor  than  that  of  a 
matured  bird  that  is  prepared  for  Thanks- 
giving or  CbristmaB  eating.  A  gosling  at 
the  age  of  about  twelve  weeks  is  fit  to 
kill  as  a  green  goose.  Moat  growers  give 
the  young  birds  soft  food,  after  they  are 
six  weeks  old,  and  oats  aB  hard  grain, 
with  plenty  of  grit  in  the  water  trough. 
After  thia  treatment  they  are  excellent 
eating  when  three  months  old.  Young 
goslings  when  killed,  must  be  plucked 
very  carefully  as  their  skins  are  so  ten- 
der and  easily  broken.  The  heretofore 
mentioned  cross  between  the  Embden 
and  the  Toulouse  is  very  well  suited  for 
killing  as  green  geese,  in  fact  this  cross  is 
as  good  as  any  fowl  for  all  purposes,  as 
the  young  birds  develop  into  large  geese, 
which  are  free  layerB  of  fertile  eggs.  They 
are  also  good  sitterB  as  well  as  mothers. 
It  is  necessary  when  keeping  geese  that 
they  should  have  access  to  water.  If  a 
pond  or  a  stream  is  not  within  reach, 
some  convenience  must  be  made  to  pro- 
vide a  Bwim  for  them  or  the  eggs  may  not 
or  will  not  be  fertile.

Always  churn  just  as  soon  as  there  is 
cream  enough  and  sufficient  acidity 
develops.  If  cream  is  held  beyond  this 
it  will  be  injured. 


The  Holsteins. 


Norman  J.  Coleman  was  interviewed  in 
Washington  the  other  day  and  said :  "If 
I  was  to  single  out  one  particular  im- 
pression I  should  have  to  speak  of  the 
prominence  into  which  the  Holstein  cattle 
are  now  coming.  The  Holstein,  you  know, 
is  emphatically  the  all-service  animal  for 
our  American  farms.  There  is  a  rare 
combination  of  the  milking  superiority 
with  beef  production.  These  cattle 
mature  early  and  they  put  on  flesh  with 
great  rapidity. 

"Wherever  I  went  I  found  the  show 
of  Holsteins  one  of  the  great  features, 
and  they  seemed  to  attract  more  atten- 
tion from  the  average  farmer  than  the 
other  classes. 

"Of  course,  the  Jersey,  for  small  places, 
has  its  sphere  as  being  economical  and 
giving  rich  milk  The  Shorthorns  are 
without  superiors  as  beef  cattle,  but 
between  these  extremes  there  is  a  wide 
field  for  an  all-service  and  the  Holsteins 
seem  to  meet  that  want.  The  Devons 
are  good  milkerB  and  good  beef  cattle  but 
they  are  Blow  maturing.  Farmers  seem 
to  think  Holsteins  come  nearer  what  they 
have  been  looking  for,  and  everywhere  I 
found  the  Holsteins  attracting  a  great 
deal  of  attention." 


It  is  not  a  good  plan  to  put  night's 
milk  and  morning's  milk  together  if  it 
is  designed  to  raised  cream.  It  is  better 
to  set  them  in  separate  shallow  pans.

Poultry-  Pointers. 


After  all,  it  is  not  80  much  the  breed  aB 
the  care  given  to  what  you  have,  if  the 
breed  be  good. 

A  writer  has  no  confidence  in  the  state- 
ment that  hens  get  too  fat  to  lay.  He 
sayB  that  his  hens  lay  best  in  corn-husk- 
ing time,  and  that  the  farm  hen  is  more 
likely  to  suffer  from  want  of  feed. 

The  bowel  trouble  of  chickens  is  often 

from  cold  rather  than  from  errors  in  diet. 

Dry  food  is  growing  in  popularity.  Wet 

food  is  supposed  to  be  the  cause  of  bowel 

trouble. 

Farmers  can  scarcely  afford  to  feed  the 
fancy  foods  necessary  to  produce  the  first 
class  results  of  fanciers  who  obtain  high 
prices  for  eggs  and  their  thoroughbred 
Btojk. 

After  ducklings  are  a  few  weeks  old 
they  are  extremely  hardv.  They  will 
thrive  on  what  would  be  passed,  by  by  a 
chicken,  or  would  kill  it  if  eaten  by  the 
chick. 

It  will  not  be  safe  to  take  poultry  keep- 
ing as  a  short  cut  to  wealth.  Riches  in 
anything  are  made  as  difficult  as  the 
catching  a  wild  hen.  It  iB  a  very  un- 
certain chase. 

Feeding  shelled  corn  is  good  feed  to 
make  hens  lay  in  cold  weather. 

One  of  the  best  times  to  fight  poultry 
insects  is  before  they  appear.  The  ounce 
of  prevention  is  the  safest  method. 

It  don't  pay  to  feed  cheap  food  of  any 
kind,  nor  to  give  cheap  remedies.  The 
best  produces  the  best  resu'ts. 

It  is  poor  policy  to  wait  until  cold 
weather  comes  before  preparing  for  it. 
The  prudent,  foreBighted  man  prepares 
for  cold  or  rain  when  it  is  warm  or  dry. 

There  is  a  difference  of  opinion  as  to 
the  necessity  of  grinding  feed  for  chickens. 
But  all  are  of  the  opinion  that  little 
chickena  do  not  need  wet  food  any  more 
than  the  old  hen  does,  and  that  it  is 
more  likely  to  injure  them  than  it  is  to 
injure  her. 

All  kinds  of  poultry  do  well  in  the 
orchard,  but  allkindB  should  not  be  kept 
in  the  same  yard.  Large  and  small 
should  be  kept  separate,  and  one  kind 
should  not  be  kept  with  another. 

Early  hatchers  are  the  best.  Yet  if  one 
is  unable  to  secure  the  early  hatch,  there 
is  something  in  the  late  fryer  or  broiler. 
Chickens  hatched  aB  late  as  July  may  be 
raised,  if  the  proper  care  is  given  to  them. 
The  large,  slow  growth  varieties  are  not 
advisable  for  the  late  hatch,  but  some  of 
the  smaller  varieties,  such  as  Hamburgs, 
Leghorns  and  possibly  the  Plymouth 
Rocks. 

Estimates  Bhow  that  the  combined 
value  of  poultry  and  eggs  is  nearly  double 
that  of  the  precious  metala,  and  six  times 
that  of  wool.  Iowa  leads  in  egg  produc- 
tion, furniBhing  almost  100,000,000  dozen, 
Ohio,  Illinois  and  Missouri  come  second, 
third  and  fourth.  The  average  price  of 
the  eggs  marketed  in  the  United  States  is 
11.15  cents  per  dozen. 

The  majority  of  fowls  are  in  small  flocks 
on  a  large  number  of  farms,  where  they 
largely  take  care  of  themselvis  and  gather 
their  own  food. 

In  Korea  the  farmers  tie  egga  together 
with  long  wisps  of  straw,  until  there  are 
two  dozen  on  a  string;  then  go  from  house 
to  house,  cutting  off  as  many  as  are 
needed.  Sometimes  the  eggs  are  swung 
across  a  pony's  back  and  carried  to  the 
customer  in  this  way. 

The  season  and  the  hen  should  de- 
termine the  number  of  eggs  that  should 
be  put  under  the  hen  for  hatching.  If 
the  weather  is  cool  and  uncertain,  she 
should  not  be  given  too  many. 

Fowls  fatten  easily,  so  that  if  fed  as 
much  as  they  will  eat,  they  will  not  hunt 
and  scratch,  so  that  they  become  lazy  and 
do  not  do  well. 

Little  chicks  need  little  or  no  food  for 
the  first  twenty-four  hours  after  they  are 
hatched.  They  do  best  to  remain  under 
the   hen  as  long   as    they    will. — Texas 

Farmer.

Sheep  in  Great  Britain  are  especially 
adapted  to  their  particular  districts. 
Careful  study  has  been  made  and  sheep 
produced  which  are  especially  adapted  to 
the  locality.  On  the  hills  of  Wales  a 
light  breed  of  mutton  sheep  possessing 
medium  wool  has  been  developed.  These 
little  sheep  climb  over  the  rocky  ledges 
lightly  pick  their  living  among  scanty 
herbage,  produce  a  medium  crop  of  wool 
and  the  sweetest  mutton  in  all  the  world, 
to  Welshmen  say.  On  the  bottom  lands 
in  the  south  of  England  the  heavier  sheep 
is  wanted,  and  the  downs,  according  to 
English  perversity  are  raised  on  the  up- 
lands. But  wherever  sheep  are  found  in 
Great  Britain  they  are  noticeably  well 
adapted  to  their  surroundings. 


The  producing  of  fat  varies  greatly  in 
milk,  but  it  varies  more  with  the  poor 
milk  of  poorly  fed  scrubs  than  with 
other  classes.

CAMPBELL'S 


FOOT  REMEDY    best"  ruedy 

EVER  USED  ON  HORSES'  FEET. 

IT  PENETRATES  and  DRIES  IN  quickly  and  DOES 
NOT  GUM  and  FILL  UP  THE  PORES  like  tar  and  oil 
compounds.  It  is  the  GREATEST  REMEDY  ever  used  to 
remove  SORENESS  and  FEVER  from  the  foot,  and  makes  it 
possible  to  get  good  services  out  of  a  horse  working  on  hard 
and  hot  pavements. 

It  gives  natural  nourishment  to  the  foot  and  inoites  a 
rapid,  healthy  growth— ALL  DRYNESS  AND  BRITTLE- 
NESS  quickly  disappears. 

QUARTER  CRACKS  and  SAND  CRACKS  are  rapidly 
grown  out  when  directions  given  in  our  booklet  are  followed. 

It  is  a  SURE  CURE  for  CORNS,  CONTRACTED  FEET 
and  NAIL  WOUNDS  if  directions  are  followed. 

It  PRE.VENTS  SOUND  FEET  FROM  BECOMING  UN- 
SOUND and  GROWS  a  TOUGH,  STRONG.  ELASTIC  WALL 
and  HEALTHY  FROG— A  FOOT  WHICH  WILL  STAND 
WORK  on  race  courses.       * 

Many  of  the  best  owners  and  trainers  state  that  for  track

For  BARBED  WIRE  CUTS,  CALKS  SCRATCH- 
ES, BLOOD  POISONED  SORES  and  ABRASIONS 
OF  THE  SKIN  it  has  no  equal. 

It  is  very  adhesive  and  easily  applied  to  a  watery 
as  well  as  a  dry  sore.  Df,TQrtK 

Its  use  will  absolutely  prevent  BLOOD  POISON 
TNG.  In  this  respect  there  is  no  Gall  Cure  offeree, 
which  can  justly  even  claim  to  be  a  competitor. 
We  placed  it  on  the  market  relying  wholly  on  its 
merit  (or  success,  and  notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
comparatively  little  has  been  done  in  the  way  ot 
advertising  the  salesof  1900  were  100  per  cent  great- 
er than  the  aggregate  sales  of  Gall  Cure  preceding 
that  year.  This  increase  was  entirely  due  to  lea 
MERITS  and  from  it  we  feel  justified  in  saying  that 
it  is  THE  GALL  CURE  OF  THE  20TH  CENTU  RY. 

It  is  a  quiok  and  sure  cure  for  those  troublesome

BILLS  appropriating  several  millions  of  dollars 
more  than  can  possibly  be  raised  during  the  next 
two  years  by  taxation  have  been  introduced  in  the 
California  Legislature  to  date,  and  the  session  is  not 
yet  half  over.  As  nearly  every  measure  introduced  is 
backed  by  some  interest  more  or  less  influential  and 
energetic,  that  is  working  for  its  passage  and  also  for 
its  approval  by  the  Governor,  the  outlook  for  any 
money  being  appropriated  for  district  fairs  is  very 
poor,  as  no  new  bills  uor  amendment  to  the  old  bill 
which  provided  for  them,  has  been  introduced  as  yet 
and  it  is  pretty  certain  that  Governor  Pardee  will  not 
favor  the  old  measure,  as  he  considers  the  amount  it 
carries  too  great  for  the  present  condition  of  the 
State's  finances.  From  those  who  have  talked  with 
the  Governor  about  the  district  fairs,  we  learn  that 
he  favors  them  and  also  favors  the  State  giving  them 
financial  aid,  but  thinks  a  batter  and  more  economical 
measure  than  the  present  law  governing  them  can  be 
devised  that  will  make  them  of  much  greater  benefit 
and  value  to  all  concerned.  There  does  not  seem  to 
be  any  active  or  concerted  movement  on  the  part  of 
breeders  and  agriculturists  toward  the  introduction 
of  any  measure  which  will  provide  for  the  district 
fairs.  The  State  Fair  directors  are  alert  and  have 
already  had  bills  introduced  in  both  houses  which  if 
passed  will  put.  the  State  Agricultural  Society  on  its 
feet  and  provide  a  spendidly  appointed  fair  ground, 
but  the  district  boards  are  taking  no  steps  to 
induce  the  Legislature  to  provide  for  their  fairs. 
The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders  Association  is  the  only  body  that  has 
done  anything  along  these  lines,  and  as  an  organiza- 
tion of  representative  breeders,  repre'enting  interests 
that  pay  large  sums  annually  into  the  State  Treasury, 
they  have  done  what  they  could  to  start  a  movement 
which  will  result  in  appropriations  being  made  for 
district  fairs.  But  while  the  Breeders  Association  has 
sent  a  committee  to  Sacramento  which  waited  on  the 
Governor  and  discussed  the  situation  with  several 
members  of  the  legislative  body,  it  is  about  the  only 
organization  that  has  shown  any  energy  in  the  matter. 
This  being  the  condition  that  confronts  the  harness 
horse  breeders  of  California,  they  should  take  im- 
mediate steps  toward  holding  a  series  of  race  meetings 
in  the  State  this  year  whether  the  district  fairs  are 
held  or  not.  At  Los  Angeles,  Fresno,  Stockton, 
Pleasanton,  San  Jose,  Petaluma,  Santa  Rosa, 
Vallejo  and  Woodland  there  are  good  mile  tracks 
provided  with  the  necessary  stalls  and  buildings, 
and  first  class  harness  meetings  can  be  held 
at  each  and  every  one  of  those  places  that  will  be 
well  patronized  and  financially  successful.  There  is  a 
'demand  for  the  formation  of  a  California  Circuit  of 
Harness  Meetings,  without  waiting  for  the  "aid  or 
consent"  of  any  district  or  State  body.  Owners  or 
lesees  of  tracks  and  breeders  of  harness  horses  are 
the  ones  to  organize  such  a  circuit.  The  Breeders' 
Association  is  willing  to  give  one  or  two  extra  meet- 
ings in  addition  to  its  regular  annual  event,  but  its 
officers  prefer  that  the  local  people  manage  their  own 
meetings.  Cannot  a  meeting  be  called  within  the  next 
two  weeks  of  representatives  of  the  cities  and  tracks 


named  above?      We  should  like  to  hear  from  those  of 
our  readers  who  have  ideas  and  views  on  thesubject. 


DALO  ALTO  STOCK  FARM  still  owns  two  stal- 
r  lions  —  Mendocino  2:19},  sire  of  Monte  Carlo 
2:07},  etc.,  and  the  McKinney  stallion  McKena  39460. 
These  stallions  will  stand  for  public  service  this  year, 
Mendocino  at  3100,  and  McKena  at  $35.  McKena  is  a 
grand,  large  horse  16.2  :ind  weighs  1350  pounds.  His 
dam  is  Helena  2:11  J  by  Electioneer  A  more  extended 
notice  of  these  stallions  will  appear  next  week.  In 
the  meantime  we  ask  our  readers  to  look  over  the 
Palo  Alto  Farm's  advertisement  in  this  issue. 


The  Best  Bred  Colt. 


Chas.  A.  Durfee,  the  former  owner  of  McKinney, 
was  looking  over  the  exchanges  in  the  BREEDER  AND 
SPORTSMAN  office  last  week  and  noticed  that  several 
eastern  breeders  were  claiming  to  own  the  "best  bred 
colt." 

"I  think  I  have  an  entry  in  that  contest,"  remarked 
Mr  Durfee,  "and  on  a  showdown  will  come  pretty 
near  getting  all  the  money.  My  entry  is  Galindo, 
and  you  know  how  he  is  bred." 

Mr.  Durfee's  claim  is  entitled  to  consideration. 
Galindo  is  by  McKinney  2:11  J,  acknowledged  to  be  the 
greatest  sire  of  his  age  that  ever  lived.  His  first  dam 
is  the  great  broodmare  Elsie,  dam  of  Palita,  two-year- 
old  record  2:16,  Rio  Alto,  three-year-old  recoi  d  2:16J, 
Mary  Osborne,  yearling  record  i.:37  and  three-year- 
old  record  2:28J,  Novelist,  two-year-old  record  2:27, 
and  Salvini  2:30.  Four  of  Elsie's  daughters  have 
produced  standard  speed  and  her  son  Salvini  is  the 
sire  of  Easter  2:12}.  Elsie  is  by  Gen.  Benton,  whose 
daughtershave  produced  Sunol  2:08},  a  world's  record 
at  the  time  it  was  made,  Serpol  2:10,  Cobwebs  2:12, 
Azmon  2:13^,  El  Rami  2:14,  and  the  pacers  Lena  N. 
2:05J,  Rajah  2:10}  and  Colonel  Benton  2:14}. 

The  second  dam  of  Galindo  is  another  great  brood- 
mare, Elaine  2:20,  herself  the  holder  of  a  world's 
record,  and  the  dam  of  Iran  Alto  2:12},  Palatine  2:18, 
An~elma2:29J  and  Altoaine  2:29i.  Elaine's  son,  Iran 
Alto,  is  the  sire  of  Dr.  Frasse  (4)  2:12|,  Thomas  R.  (4) 
2:15  and  several  more  in  the  list.  Herdaughters  have 
produced  eight  in  the  list.  Elaine  is  by  Messenger 
Duroc  106,  sire  of  21  standard  performers,  25  produc- 
ing sons  and  50  producing  daughters.  ■ 

Green  Mountain  Maid,  one  of  the  greatest  of  all 
great  broodmares,  is  the  third  dam  of  Mr.  Dur" 
fee's  colt.  She  is  the  dam  of  nine  standard  per" 
formers  and  has  four  producing  sons  including  Elec- 
tioneer 125,  sire  of  more  standard  trotters  than  any 
other  stallion,  and  five  producing  daughters.  Green 
Mountain  Maid's  sons  have  sired  such  fast  ones  as 
Arion  2:07},  Sunol  2:08},  Palo  Alto  2.083;,  Swift  2:07, 
and  Direct  View  2:08},  and  their  daughters  have  pro 
duced  Klatawah  (3)  2:05},  Dolly  Dillon  2:06J,  Lisonjero 
2:08},  Cavaliero  2:09}  and  many  more. 

If  there  is  a  colt  whose  breeding  is  any  better  than 
Galindo's,  Mr.  Durfee  says  he  would  like  to  hear  of 
him.  By  McKinney  2:11}  ths.t  has  34  in  the  2:15  list, 
and  with  his  first  three  dams  the  producers  of  a  total 
of  18  standard  performers,  it  does  look  as  though 
Galindo  has  those  eastern  best  bred  fellows  "skinned 

a  block."

Owen  H.  Wright,  Davisville—  The  stallion  Noon- 
day 10000,  brown  horse  foaled  1883,  by  Wedgewood 
692;  dam  Noontide  2:20J,  dam  of  Noonday  2:30  and 
Midi  (p)  2:11,  by  Harold  413;  second  dam  Midnight, 
dam  of  Jay  Eye  See  2:06},  Electricity  2:17}  and  Noon- 
tide 2:20£  by  Pilot  Jr.  12;  third  dam  Twilight  by 
thoroughbred  Lexington.  Wedgewood,  the  sire  of

Woodford,  thoroughbred. 


Strathway  2:19  to  High  Wheels. 

Among  the  many  well  bred  stallions  that  have 
forced  their  way  to  recognition  in  spite  of  the  hand', 
cap  of  the  lack  of  opportunity,  Strathway,  son  of 
Steinway,  is  a  notable  example.  Strathway  was  bred 
by  A.  L.  Whitney  who  also  bred  his  half-brother 
Dawn  2:18}  that  used  to  be  known,  when  he  was  alive, 
as  the  fastest  Btallion  that  ever  looked  through  a 
bridle.  Mr.  Whitney  retired  from  the  breeding  ranks 
and  his  horses  were  sold,  and  oeither  Strathway  or 
Dawn  ever  had  the  chances  in  the  stud  they  were 
entitled  to,  but  both  achieved  some  fame,  and  now 
Strathway  is  just  beginning  to  be  recognized  as  one 
of  the  best  producing  stallions  in  California,  and  his 
owner,  Graham  E.  Babcock,  of  Coronado,  has  sent 
him  to  this  section  of  the  State,  that  Strathway  may 
have  an  opportunity  to  be  mated  with  some  good 
mares  in  this  part  of  the  country.  Strathway  will  be 
at  Pleasanton  during  the  season,  and  parties  wishing 
to  breed  to  him  should  address  James  Thompson 
Pleasanton,  or  S.  Christenson,  Palace  Hotel,  San 
Francisco. 

Strathway  made  his  record  in  1892  to  high  wheel 
sulky  over  the  Tulare  track  which  was  considered 
several  seconds  slow.  He  is  a  chestnut  horse  of  fine 
proportions  and  bis  get  have  uniform  good  looks  and 
great  natural  speed. 

In  1901  Charles  Clark  of  Fresno  took  Strathway's 
unsexed  son  Toggles  across  the  mountains  and  started 
him  in  races  against  such  fast  ones  as  Dolly  Dillon 
2:06},  Onward  Silver  2:05},  Alcedalia  2:10},  Fereno 
2:05}  and  others  and  beat  them  all  in  heats  or  races, 
quitting  the  season  with  a  record  of  2:08J.  Last  year 
John  Caldwell,  another  gelding  by  Strathway,  was 
one  of  the  star  trotters  of  the  Grand  Circuit  in  the 
green  classes,  winning  about  $7000  for  his  owner,  and 
getting  a  mark  of  2:11}.  Another  good  trotting  son 
of  Strathway  was  Homeward  that  took  a  record  of 
2:13}  and  is  the  sire  of  that  sensational  trotter  George 
G.  2:06}  that  sold  for  $15,000.  Another  son  of  Strath- 
way, achieved  prominence  this  year  as  a  sire.  We 
refer  to  Stoneway  2:23}  that  is  the  sire  of  My  Way 
2:22  and  Stonelita  2:20. 

Strathway  is  by  the  great  Steinway  and  out  of  a 
great  broodmare  by  Whipples  Hambletonian,  sire  of 
the  dams  of  Azote  2:04},  Georgena  2:07},  and  many 
others. 

In  breeding  to  a  stallion  it  is  wise  to  pick  those  that 
have  produced  Grand  Circuit  winners,  as  that  is  the 
supreme  test  of  a  good  trotter  or  pacer.  One  that 
can  win  there  can  win  anywhere  on  earth.  Few  stal- 
lions can  put  five  in  the  2:15  list  with  the  limited  op- 
portunities Strathway  has  had. 


Clyde  Mastellco,  Oroville— Silver  King  3622, 
chestnut  horse,  foaled  1881,  is  by  Hambletonian  725 
dam  Harvest  Queen  2:29}  by  Hambletonian  10;  second 
dam  Dubois  Mare  by  American  Star  14;  third  dam  by 
Abdallah  1.  Silver  King  is  the  sire  of  Silver  Queen 
2:19J,  King  of  the  Ring  2:21  and  the  pacer  Yellow 
Jacket  2:20}.  

William  Hashagen,  Woodland— Bregnoli  77  was 
by  Mambrino  Chief  11,  dam  Sally  Woodford  by 
Woodford,  second  dam  by  Hunt's  Commodore.  He 
had  a  record  of  2:29}.  He  did  not  sire  any  standard 
performers,  but  one  of  his  daughters  produced  Brig- 
noli  Wilkes  2:14}  and  several  others  with  standard 
records.  Cresco  4908,  is  by  Strathmore,  dam  Alia  by 
Almont  33,  second  dam  by  Brignoli  77.  Liska  2:28} 
by  Electioneer  is  the  dam  of  Lunda  2:18}  by  Norris

No  Option  on  Mack  Mack. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman: — A  certain  horse  dealer 
having  staged  that  he  holds  an  option  on  the  McKin- 
ney gelding,  Mack  Mack,  I  hereby  state  that  nobody 
has  held  an  option  at  any  time,  and  no  option  will  be 
given.  Disposition  of  the  horse  remains  with  the 
owner,  J.  R.  Bowles  of  Portland,  Oregon.

The  handsome  and  fast  trotting  mare  Dollexa  2:21} 
by  Alexis  18340,  owned  by  Mr.  C.  F.  White,  of  Wash- 
ington, died  at  San  Jose  last  week.  Dollexa  was  bred 
last  year  to  Monterey  2:09},  was  in  foal,  and  had  been 
nominated  in  Breeders  Futurity  No.  5.  Her  foal  of 
the  previous  year  was  also  by  Monterey  and  is  a  very 
promising  yearling. 


A  four-year-old  brother  to  Fereno  2:05}  was  sold  at 
the  Splan  sale  in  Chicago  two  weeks  ago  for  $700  The 
price  was  low  for  his  looks  and  breeding,  but  the  fact 
that  he  was  consigned  direct  from  the  Walnut  Farm 
led  buyers  to  believe  that  he  had  been  tried  and 
found  wanting  in  speed.  Otherwise,  says  Henry 
White  of  theChicago  journal,  the  four-year-old  would 
have  brought  $2000. 

Mr.  Caplatzski  of  Santa  Cruz,  who  owns  a  fine  mare 
by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16},  has  leased  her  to  Mr. 
Henry  Struve  of  Watsonville  for  breeding  purposes. 
Mr.  Struve  will  breed  her  to  Welcome  2:10J  and  the 
cross  should  be  a  good  one. 


Stam  B.  2:11}  will  be  at  Pleasanton  again  this  year 
and  his  service  fee  will  be  the  same  as  laBt  year,  with

JOTTINGS.  ||j 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, 


Budd  Doble  and  Lou  Dillon  are  having  a  good 
time  at  San  Jose  this  winter.  The  famous  reinsman 
was  in  San  Francisco  this  week  and  told  me  he  was 
jogging  the  daughter  of  Sidney  Dillon  from  eight  to 
fifteen  miles  a  day  on  the  roads  and  that  she  has  taken 
on  at  least  fifty  pouDds  since  she  arrived  ic  California. 
He  says  she  is  a  bundle  of  nerves  and  will-power  and 
when  he  takes  her  out  for  exercise,  walks  her  as  much 
as  possible,  never  calling  on  her  to  go  faster,  but  coax- 
ing her  back  as  there  is  no  time  she  is  not  ready  to 
jog  or  even  trot  fast  if  permitted.  Mr.  Doble  says 
the  trotting  queen  is  "city  broke"  as  she  has  never 
shied  at  street  cars,  bicycles  orautos,  but  goes  by 
them  as  if  she  has  been  brought  up  in  a  modern  city 
and  stabled  in  a  round  house.  She  wants  to  trot  fast 
and  show  herspeed  on  any  and  all  occasions  and  it  takes 
lots  of  that  patience,  which  Doble  possesses  to  as  great 
a  degree  as  any  man,  to  keep  her  down  to  the  prosaic 
jog  that  is  in  keeping  with  the  manners  of  a  mare 
that  is  simply  in  California  during  the  winter  for  her 
health.  

Monroe  Salisbury  took  a  short  sea  voyage  last  week 
and  came  back  to  Pleasanton  with  a  bay  pacer  that 
is  now  a  member  of  the  Butler  string  and  being 
worked  by  Chas.  DeRyder.  They  call  this  pacer 
Bolivar  "W.  He  is  by  Wayland  W.  2:12$  and  can  show 
a  2:10  gait.  It  is  said  that  Mr.  Salisbury  paid  $2500 
for  him  and  the  Pleasanton  horsemen  who  have 
seen  the  fellow  go,  say  he  is  worth  more  money.  Mr. 
Salisbury  purchased  him  at  Eureka,  Humboldt  Co., 
going  up  on  the  6teamer  Pomona,  getting  the  horse, 
and  returning  with  him  on  the  same  vessel. 


Morosco  on  the  Grand  Circuit  this  year  and  with  his 
better  half  will  make  the  tour  to  see  the  horse  trot. 
If  Morosco  should  make  a  good  showing  among  the 
horses  in  his  class  on  the  big  ring  Mr.  Minor  will 
consider  that  he  has  been  fully  repaid  for  keeping 
him  and  refu  ing  the  offer,  although  the  winnings  do 
not  amount  to  the  sum  offered. 


An  incident  happened  at  Pleasanton  last  Monday 
that  is  worth  chronicling  in  this  journal.  W.  J. 
Speers,  of  Oakland,  who  has  used  the  handsome  little 
mare  Sadie  Moor  2:26  by  Grand  Moor  as  a  buggy 
mare  for  several  years,  drove  over  to  Pleasanton  that 
day  to  see  a  gentleman  in  regard  to  selling  her.  He 
drove  her  to  his  road  buggy,  and  leaving  Oak- 
land at  noon  reached  Pleasanton,  thirty  or  more 
miles  distant  over  the  hills,  in  four  hours.  Will 
Johnson,  who  trains  for  Messrs.  Brace  and  Minor  of 
Eureka,  met  Mr.  Speers  on  his  arrival,  and  it  hap- 
pened that  Mr.  Brace  was  with  him.  Mr.  Speers  re- 
marked to  Mr.  B.  that  Sadie  Moor  would  make  a 
good  broodmare,  but  the  latter  said  he  was  loaded  up 
with  all  the  breeding  stock  he  wanted  and  could  not 
think  of  buying  any  more.  Mr.  Speers,  however 
suggested  that  Sadie  be  hitched  to  a  cart  and  that 
Mr.  Brace  drive  her  around  the  track  once  or  twice  to 
see  what  a  nice  driver  she  is,  and  Mr.  B  reluctantly 
consented.  So  Sadie  Moor  was  taken  from  the  buggy 
she  has  just  pulled  for  thirty  miles  and  hooked  to  a 
cart.  Mr  Brace  weighs  216  pounds,  but  is  active,  and 
mounting  the  cart  took  the  lines  and  started  the 
mare  up.  He  drove  her  around  the  track  once  and 
then  went  back  up  the  stretch  to  the  half-mile  pole, 
turned  her  around,  jogged  to  the  three-quarter  pole 
and  called  on  her.  Sadie  Moor  is  fifteen  years  old  this 
spring  and  has  had  three  foals,  but  with  all  tbe  fire 
and  speed  of  her  youth  she  trotted  the  quarter  in  less 
than  36  seconds,  several  watches  held  by  the  spectators 
catching  the  time  as  2:351.  Mr.  Brace  dismounted 
and  told  Mr.  Speers  that  he  wanted  the  little  mare 
and  the  sale  was  made.  Few  mares  of  that  age  could 
equal  the  performance  under  like  conditions.  Mr. 
Brace  will  breed  ber  to  his  young  stallion  Grecko,  son 
of  McKinney  and  Aileen  by  Anteeo,  second  dam  Lou 
Milton,  dam  of  Lou  Dillon  1:581.  Mr.  Speers  owns  a 
filly  from  ber  by  Waldstein  that  is  coming  two  years 
old  and  is  a  very  handsome  and  well  proportioned 
trotter  with  much  promise  as  a  road  mare,  the  use  to 
which  her  owner  will  put  ber,  and  Mr.  Kohler  of  Oak- 
land owns  a  yearling  colt  from  ber  by  Guy  McKinney 
that  is  an  excellent  prospect. 


James  Thompson  dropped  in  at  the  office  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  on  Thursday  of  this 
week,  looking  as  slick  and  prosperous  as  a  frenzied 
financier.  This  was  his  first  visit  to  San  Francisco, 
in  the  daytime,  since  his  return  from  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit, where  he  campaigned  Col.  J.  C.  Kirkpatrick's 
good  trotter  John  Caldwell  2:11J,  known  to  the 
Eastern  scribes  as  the  ''best  managed  horse  that 
went  down  the  big  line  in  1904."  Thompson  has 
quite  a  string  at  the  Pleasanton  track  and  is  handling 
several  youngsters  for  the  Colonel  that  have  every 
symptom  of  the  speed  disease.  I  have  never  seen  a 
trainer  who  knew  Thompson  who  doubted  his  ability 
as  a  conditioner.  His  horses  always  look  well  when 
they  are  seen  on  the  track,  and  they  get  to  the  races 
in  condition  to  show  something  of  their  quality. 
"Jeems"  speaks  in  the  very  highest  praise  of  the 
Grand  Circuit  of  1904,  but  thinks  that  1905  will  be 
even  better.  George  Hayt  is  the  right  man  in  the 
right  place,  according  to  Thompson,  who  believes 
that  the  presiding  judge  of  1904  is  a  man  of  ability 
who  tries  to  do  right  all  the  time,  and  that  any  mis- 
takes he  makes  are  unintentional.  When  asked  about 
the  new  Grand  Circuit  starter,  Mr.  Newton,  he  said: 
"Well,  they  say  he  is  a  high  class  man,  and  I  think  he 
must  be,  or  they  would  not  have  engaged  him,  but  I 
don't  see  how  any  one  can  beat  Frank  Walker  very 
much."  

By  the  way,  Mr.  Thompson  says  he  is  in  the  market 
for  good  trotters  or  pacers  that  have  class  enough  to 
race  in  the  matinees  over  East  or  on  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit. So  I  advise  all  owners  who  have  a  craekerjack 
for  sale  (and  their  name  is  legion  in  California)  to 
write  to  James  Thompson  at  Pleasanton,  giving  a  full 
description  of  their  horses,  and  the  lowest  cash  price, 
and  I'll  wager  right  now  that  Thompson 'smaii  during 
the  next  two  months  will  be  the  cause  of  a  petition 
for  a  raise  in  the  salary  of  the  Pleasanton  Nasby. 


Mr.  Brace  recently  purchased  a  filly  bv  Waldstein 
out  of  a  Grand  Moor  mare  that  trotted  a  quarter  as  a 
two-year-cld  in  39  seconds.  She  is  very  large  and 
weighs  eleven  hundred  pound?,  although  but  three 
years  old.  Mr.  Brace  paid  $350  and  will  .ireed  her  to 
Grecko  

An   interesting    piece  of    news    that    comes    from 

Pleasanton    this  week   is  that    Mr.  Isaac  Minor,   the 

owner    of  the  trotter  Morosco  2:12    refused    a    big 

offer  for  him  last  week — a  person   who  should   know 

tbe    facts   saying    that    tbe   amount     was     $11,000. 

Morosco  was  undoubtedly  tbe  highest  class  trotter  on 

theCartornia  Circuit  last  season,  and  a  record  below 

2:10  should  be  easily  within  his  reach  this  year.     Mr. 

who  is  a  well-to-do  lumberman  of  Humboldt 

.  states  that  he  has   not  had  a  good   vacation 

~iy   years  and   that  he  contemplates  entering 


Frank  D.  Colburn  of  Boston,  and  stepped  an  eighth  in 
17  seconds  last  Monday.  He  is  a  nice  gaited  pacer 
and  a  very  promising  two-year-old.  An  own  brother 
to  this  fellow  is  also  a  fast  prospect.  The  black  two- 
year-old  pacer  by  Educator,  dam  Hulda  by  Guide, 
owned  by  Mr.  Henry  paced  an  eighth  in  17f  seconds 
one  day  last  week.  This  fellow  is  an  inbred  Director 
and  his  second  dam  is  that  good  broodmare  Alice  R. 
by  Naubuc.  Selab  a  stud  colt,  four  years  old  by  Mc- 
Kinney out  of  Anna  by  Director  trotted  a  quarter  for 
Mr.  Henry  in  35}  seconds  the  other  day.  He  is  owned 
by  Mr.  G.  S.  Langan  of  Haywards.  Another  very 
promising  trotter  in  this  string  is  John  C.  Henry,  a 
Silver  Bow  colt  that  has  only  been  brokenitwo  months, 
but  is  fast. 


Every  Zolock  colt  that  is  handled  seems  to  show  a 
lot  of  speed.  Chas.  Farrar,  of  Santa  Ana,  who  sold 
one  to  Iowa  parties  for  $2000,  says  he  is  the  best  colt 
he  ever  handled.  Dr.  Hazlett,  of  San  Bernardino, 
owns  a  Zolock  filly  that  can  pace  a  two-minute  gait. 
Ned  Mosier,  tbe  horse  shoer,  of  Los  Angeles,  has  just 
bought  a  Zolock  filly  from  Judge  Shanklin  of  the 
same  place,  on  account  of  her  natural  speed.  Will 
Durfee  is  working  three  and  they  are  all  good  ones. 
Mr.  Vance  has  recently  purchased  a  Zolock  filly  from 
Mr.  Cole  of  San  Bernardino  that  will  make  a  race 
mare.  Walter  Maben  has  a  sister  to  the  $2000  colt 
that  is  owned  by  Mr.  Bohan,  the  hotel  man.  Mr. 
Prescott,  of  San  Bernardino  has  a  very  fast  colt  by 
Zolock  out  of  the  dam  of  Roan  Wilkes  2:12|.  Several 
high  class  mares  are  already  booked  to  the  sire  of 
Delilah  2:161  and  Ambush  2:20  as  two-year-olds. 
Among  them  are  W.  O.  Bowers'  Betsy  B.  by  Silver 
Bee,  dam  a  sister  to  Mary  Lou,  dam  of  Kinney  Lou 
2:07|,  and  M.  Silva's  pacing  mare  Polka  Dot  2:14}  by 
Mendocino.  Dr.  Himelbaugh,  of  Salt  Lake,  has  also 
sant  a  Patchen  Wilkes  mare  out  of  Angie  D.  2:07  to 
Zolock.  

Farmer  Bunch  was  down  from  Pleasanton  this  week, 
taking  advantage  of  the  rainy  weather  vhieh  kept 
him  off  the  track,  to  attend  to  a  little  business  at  the 
metropolis.  The  Farmer  is  working  an  even  dozen 
trotters  and  pacers  at  Pleasanton  track,  and  says  that 
he  only  wants  the  opportunity  that  meetings  offer  to 
show  the  boys  that  he  has  several  good  ones  in  his 
Btring.  The  mare  HattieCroner  has  fully  recovered 
from  her  severe  illness  of  last  year,  and  Mr.  Bunch 
believes  she  will  step  below  2:10  this  year  without 
much  trouble.  He  has  recently  added  to  his  string  a 
bay  mare  called  Petaluma  Girl,  owned  by  Mr.  Offutt 
of  Petaluma,  that  looks  like  a  fine  prospect.  She  is 
'  by  Lynwood  Wilkes  2:20  out  of  a  mare  by  Anteeo, 
and  looks  like  Sonoma  Girl,  the  fast  green  trotter 
owned  by  Mr.  J.  Springer.  Bunch  is  working  several 
Iran  Alto  colts  and  fillies  that  are  stepping  as  if  they 
were  after  first  money  in  the  stakes  they  are  entered 
in.  They  are  coming  three-year-olds  and  all  worked 
miles  better  than  2:30  last  year  in  their  two-year  old 
form.  Iran  Alto  will  be  one  of  the  leading  speed  sires 
of  the  Coast  with  half  a  chance  in  the  stud. 

Mr.  M.  Henry,  of  Haywards,  who  has  quite  a  string 
of  his  own  colts  aud  fillies  by  his  stallion  Educator, 
working  at  Pleasanton  track,  is  also  handling  a  few 
young  horses  owned  by  others.  One  of  the  most 
promising  is  a  colt  by  Gossiper  2:14|,  dam  by  Algona, 
the  sire  of  Flying  Jib  2:04.    This  colt  is  owned  by  Mr. 


The   Leading  Son  of  McKinney. 

The  question  as  to  what  trotting  stallion  Is  tbe 
greatest  sire  is  no  longer  debatable.  All  recognize 
that  McKinney  is  entitled  to  that  honor  and  from  the 
Atlantic  to  the  Pacific  his  praises  are  being  sounded 
even  by  those  who  were  his  severest  critics  a  few 
short  years  ago. 

Now  that  McKinney  is  lost  to  this  Coast,  breeders 
will  look  to  one  of  his  sons  to  fill  the  place  he  has 
occupied  and  naturally  Zambro's  name  will  be  placed 
at  the  head  of  the  list  of  those  of  hi6  sons  old  enough 
to  be  sires  of  the  standard  performers.  Zombro's  rec- 
ord of  2:11  would  have  been  reduced  at  least  six  sec- 
onds, had  the  horse  not  been  unfortunate.  He  had 
the  speed,  but  circumstances  prevented  his  attaining 
that  which  was  within  his  reach.  He  was  undoubt- 
edly the  greatest  three-year-old  ever  seen  on  the 
Pacific  Coast.  C.  A  Durfee  is  authority  for  the  state- 
ment that  a  mile  in  2:08  was  within  Zombro's  reach  at 
the  closeof  his  three-year-old  campaign,  during  which 
he  won  forty  heats  in  standard  time,  a  feat  never  be- 
fore or  since  accomplished  by  any  three-year-old. 

In  the  stud  Zombro  has  been  a  decided  success. 
He  has  seven  in  the  list,  all  square  and  natural  trot- 
ters, the  fastest  being  Zephyr  2:11,  a  mare  that  won  a 
heat  in  2:061  in  a  race,  but  unfortunately  for  her 
owner,  the  timers  were  not  in  the  stand  and  no  time 
was  given  out.  The  fastest  green  trotter  that  has 
shown  this  year  in  California  is  a  Zombro.  He  is 
owned  by  Mr.  M.  A.  Murphy  of  this  city,  and  is  in  Al 
McDonald's  string  at  Pleasanton.  A  mile  in  2:12  is 
within  his  reach  now.  All  the  young  Zombros  are 
bays,  browns  or  blacks,  solid  color  and  natural  trot- 
ters. They  are  grand  lookers  like  their  sire,  who  is 
beyond  all  question  one  of  the  grandest  looking  of 
trotting  stallions. 

Mr.  Geo.  T.  Beckers,  who  bred  and  who  still  owns 
Zombro,  will  keep  the  horse  for  public  Bervice  at  Los 
Ang6les  until  June  1st  this  year.  Last  year  Zombro 
was  taken  East,  and  had  a  large  number  of  high  class 
mares  bred  to  him,  but  Mr.  Beckers  thinks  California 
is  good  enough  for  him  as  a  dwelling  place  and  brought 
his  horse  back,  glad  to  again  be  at  home,  where  the 
sun  shines  and  the  flowers  bloom  the  year  round.  Mr. 
B.  has  recently  purchased  a  fine  piece  of  property 
adjoining  Agricultural  Park,  Los  Angeles,  whereon 
he  is  building  a  neat  cottage  for  himself  and  family, 
and  a  home  for  Zombro.  He  has  engaged  some  fine 
pasture  for  the  mares  and  will  give  them  every  at- 
tention. The  service  fee  for  Zombro  has  been  placed 
at  the  low  figure  of  $50  and  breeders  should  not  miss 
the  opportunity  to  ship  their  mares  to  him.  It  will 
be  the  best  investment  for  the  money  one  can  make, 
as  a  colt  or  filly  by  Zombro  can  be  sold  for  a  figure 
that  will  bring  a  profit  as  soon  as  it  is  foaled.  We 
suggest  that  the  advertisement  of  Zombro  be  read 
carefully  and  Mr.  Beckers  corresponded  with  for  any 
farther  information. 


Absorbine  and  Hard  Bunches. 


The  letters  which  follow  tell  their  own  story.    The  key  to  all 
successor  this  kind  is  patience  and  perseverance.    The  meat  in 
tbe  cocoanut  in  these  stories  is  that  hard  bunches  have  been  re- 
moved with  Absorbine,  avoiding  the  unpleasantness  of  history: 
New  Glasgow,  N.  S..  Feb.  16, 1894. 
W.  F.  Young.  Springfield.  Mass. 

Dear  Sir:'— I  have  used  your  Absorbine  for  swollen  tendons 
and  windpuffs  with  results  that  surprised  me.  I  can  also  recom- 
mend it  as  excellent  for  splints  and  bony  enlargements.  Very 
truly  yours,  John  X.  Cameron. 

II".  F.   Young.  Springfield.  Mass. 

Dear  Sir:— I  have' taken  off  a  splint  with  your  Absorbine  that 
was  on  my  horse  for  six  months,  and  am  about  to  try  it  on  one 
with  thick  glands.  If  you  oan  give  me  special  instructions, 
would  be  pleased  to  have  you  do  so.    Yours  truly, 

G.  W  Fitzsimmons.

IT*.  F.  Young,  Springfield.  Mass. 

Dear  Sir:— I  ,aue  pleasure  in  endorsing  your  Absorbine.  It 
has  entirely  removed  two  ossilets  from  a  promising  two-year-old 
colt  without  turning  a  hair,  and  left  his  limbs  as  clean  as  ever. 
Very  respectfully,  John  Kelly. 

Absorbine,  $2  per  bottle,  express  prepaid.

Dr.  S  A.  Tulth, 

Dear  Sir:— Having  used  your  Elixir  in  the  different  diseases 
in  horses,  I  consider  it  the  best  horse  medicine  in  the  market.  I 
have  never  failed  of  obtaining  good  results  in  every  case  where  I 
have  used  it.  Every  man  owning  a  horse  should  have  a  bottle  of 
it  in  his  stable.    Yours  very  truly,  G.  Q.  BROWN.

Buffalo's  $10,000  trot  will  probably  be  for  the  2:11 
class.  

An  advertiser  offers  a  well-bred  trotting  stallion  and 
two  draft  stallions  for  sale. 


Isaac  H.  Pawling,  of  Philadelphia,  has  left  for  a 
trip  to  California  in  search  of  a  McKinney  for  a 
wealthy  Quaker  City  horseman. 


A  high-class  son  of  Electioneer  with  a  fast  record  is 
for  lsase  on  shares  to  a  reliable  party  who  can  give 
references.     Apply  at  this  office. 


Parties  in  search  of  stallions,  roadsters  or  track 
animals  would  do  well  to  consult  our  advertising 
columns.  Several  good  horses  are  advertised  therb. 
If  you  don't  see  what  you  want,  ask  for  it  through 
this  paper. 

There  is  much  talk  at  Pleasanton  of  the  new  track, 
and  the  Pleasanton  Times  is  boosting  the  proposition 
in  good  shape.  Two  tracks  at  Pleasanton  would  not 
be  overdoing  the  business,  as  the  probability  is  that 
both  would  be  crowded  all  winter,  although  many 
stalls  would  be  empty  during  the  summer  season. 

Henry  Delaney,  who  campaigned  Zolock  last  year, 
expects  to  have  that  stallion's  good  daughter  Delilah 
2:164,  champion  pacing  two-year  old  of  1904  in  his 
string  at  Los  Angeles  soon.  He  already  has  the  Mc- 
Kinney pacer  Welcome  Mac  that  won  a  matinee  race 
at  Los  Angeles  last  Saturday  in  209,  2:084,  reference 
to  which  is  made  in  another  column  in  this  issue. 


Out  of  the  twenty-one  foals  older  than  three-year- 
olds  Joe  Patchen  has  sired,  fifteen  have  taken  records, 
including  the  champion  Dan  Patch  1:57.  Old  Black 
Joe  is  a  sure  enough  success  in  the  stud. 


Dr.  Russell  A.  Walker,  of  Chicago,  has  purchased 
the  two-year-old  filly  by  Neernut  2:12}  out  of  Hazel 
Kiuney  2:09}  by  McKinney.  She  is  a  very  promising 
trotter  and  will  be  taken  East  and  trained. 


An  Eastern  exchange  states  that  Mr.  A.  B.  Gwath- 
mey,  owner  of  the  famous  trotter  Tiverton  2:04},  has 
recently  recovered  from  a  very  severe  attack  of 
rheumatism  as  the  result  of  having  his  afflicted  arm 
pin  fired.  

A  plague  of  cerebro-spinal  meningitis  has  struck 
the  horses  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  several  other  large 
cities  of  the  South  and  West.  The  disease  develops 
very  rapidly,  causes  convulsions  and  severe  pain  and 
is  usually  fatal.  

Last  Monday  was  a  clear  day  at  Pleasanton  and 
about  a  hundred  horses  were  out  on  the  track,  some 
of  them  showing  speed  and  others  being  jogged.  An 
hour  of  sunshine  after  a  heavy  rain  puts  this  famous 
track  in  shape  for  working  horses. 


Prom  the  quality  of  material  on  hand,  Charles 
Marvin  will  spring  one  or  more  surprises  on  the  boys 
the  coming  season.  Last  year  he  won  a  good  race 
with  Bon  Voyage,  and  subsequently  parted  with  the 
colt  for  $10,000.  He  now  has  a  couple  of  youngsters  in 
his  stable  that  look  to  be  every  bit  as  good  as  the  son 
of  Expedition.  

Mr.  H.  McManus,  who  is  located  at  Pleasanton, 
writes  us  that  there  are  at  least  200  horses  working  on 
the  track  there.  "Mike"  says  Pleasanton  climate 
agrees  with  him  as  he  has  gained  fifteen  pounds  since 
going  there.  He  will  have  two  or  three  horses  to 
work  next  month,  the  result  of  his  advertisement  in 
the  Breeder  and  Sportsman. 


The  Horse  Review  says:  Sidney  2:19|,  the  renowned 
grandsire  of  Lou  Dillon  1:584,  takes  regular  exercise 
at  Oregon,  111  ,  and  moveB  more  like  a  four-year-old 
than  a  horse  twenty  years  older.  The  old  hero  is 
sound  and  smooth,  and  the  light  of  youth  shines  in 
his  eyes.  He  shows  little  indication  of  his  age  and 
seems  to  be  as  vigorous  as  ever. 


The  pacing  mare  Twinkle  2:05}  by  Mercury  2:21 
will  likely  be  in  the  stable  of  Harrie  Jones,  of  Rush- 
ville,  Ind.,  the  coming  season.  Harrie  had  the  Mer- 
cury gelding,  Kruger  2:15},  last  season,  and  drove  him 
a  trial  mile  at  Lexington  in  2:05},  then  sold  him  to  A. 
McDonald  in  December.  He  thinks  he  will  be  able  to 
retire  Twinkle  with  a  mark  of  2:03  or  better. 


Mr.  G.  W.  Prescott,  vice-president  of  the  San  Ber- 
nardino County  Driving  Club,  writes  us  that  the  stock 
in  that  county  is  looking  well  at  the  preBent  time. 
He  has  fourteen  horses  and  colts  in  training  and  all 
are  free  from  colds  or  influenza,  and  taking  their 
work  well.  Mr.  Prescott  adds.  "The  North  will  Bee 
us  up  there  in  force  if  the  young  things  keep  up  their 
present  improvement." 


In  the  article  headed  "Successful  Young  Sire," 
which  appeared  in  last  week's  B.  and  S.,  the  name  of 
the  two-year-old  trotter  Athasham  2:20  was  printed 
instead  of  Ambush  2:20.  Athasham  2-20  is  by  Geo.  L. 
Warlow's  stallion  Athadon  20990,  while  Zolock  is  the 
sire  of  Ambush.  

It  is  announced  that  D.  C.  Palmeter,  Berlin,  Wis  , 
has  decided  not  to  allow  Barongale  (2:11}),  the  cham- 
pion three  and  four-year-old  trotting  colt  of  1903  and 
1904  respectively,  to  perform  stud  service  this  season, 
but  will  have  him  especially  pointed  for  tho  Transyl- 
vania next  fall. 

The  chances  for  the  San  Jose  tiack  to  be  leased  for 
a  period  of  ten  years  are  not  so  good  as  they  were  a 
few  days  ago,  and  the  probabilities  are  that  negotia- 
tions between  the  parties  of  the  first  and  second  parts 
will  be  broken  off. 

Ex-Governor  Morgan  G.  Bulkeley,  now  United 
States  Senator  from  Connecticut,  has  for  many  years 
been  prominently  identified  with  harness  racing  in- 
terests in  the  far  East.  He  was  one  of  the  founders 
of  the  old  Charter  Oak  Park  racing  plant  in  Hartford 
in  the  early  days.         

I  learn  that  C.  K.  G.  Billings  intends  to  visit  Cali- 
fornia next  month  and  that  he  meditates  shipping  over 
three  automobiles  and  several  of  his  matinee  horses 
now  at  Cleveland,  that  he  may  enjoy  the  drives  in 
Golden  Gate  Park  and  spin  alonga  little  at  Santa  Rosa 
or  Pleasanton. — Percy  in  New  York  Telegraph. 


William  Hashagen,  of  Woodland,  Yolo  county, 
writes  us  that  in  his  opinion  there  is  no  doubt  but  the 
mare  Liska  by  Electioneer,  bred  at  Palo  Alto  and 
now  owned  by  Henry  Cowell,  will  be  the  best  produc- 
ing daughter  of  her  great  sire.  Mr.  Hashagen  writes 
that  there  iB  another  of  her  get  by  Nutwood  Wilkes 
now  in  Hi  Hogoboom'a  string  that  will  be  a  2:10  trot- 
ter. Liska  is  now  the  dam  of  four  standard  trotters' 
the  fastest  being  the  sensational  horse  Lisonjero 
2:08}.  

Ed  Geers  has  a  two-year-old  by  Onward  Silver  2:05}, 
out  of  Lady  Geraldine  2:11},  that  should  prove  stake 
material.  As  Geers  had  to  do  with  the  parents,  it  is 
to  be  hoped  he  will  succeed  with  the  royally  bred 
youngsters.  It  will  be  recalled  that  he  won  the  Bon- 
ner Memorial  and  Massachusetts  stakes  with  Onward 
Silver,  also  the  M.  and  M.  stake,  behind  Lady 
Geraldine,  in  1900.  However,  he  did  not  train  the 
Constantino  marefor  that  event,  that  honor  belonging 
to  Ras  Ecker.  

John  Splan  held  a  good  sale  in  Chicago  last  month, 
but  broodmares  and  young  stock  went  for  low  prices. 
"Ready  to  use"  speed  seemed  to  be  what  the  buyers 
were  after  and  they  paid  fair  prices.  Button  2:13}, 
the  mare  by  Gold  that  was  campaigned  on  the  Mon- 
tana circuit  for  the  past  two  years  and  was  unbeaten, 
brought  $3200,  the  highest  price  of  the  sale.  Irene 
W.  2:14}  the  eight-year-old  chestnut  pacing  mare  by 
Waldstein,  sold  for  $300,  and  is  now  owned  by  Henry 
Jacobs  of  Chicago.       

Al  McDonald  of  Pleasanton,  who  is  training  Mr.  P. 
Gommet's  brown  two-year-old  colt  by  McKinney  re- 
ports that  an  offer  of  four  thousand  dollars  was  made 
for  him  last  week.  This  colt  is  a  trotter  and  reckoned 
by  several  horsemen  as  the  best  trotting  propect  of 
his  age  in  California.  His  breeding  is  top  not2h,  as 
he  is  out  of  the  yoking  mare  Zorilla  by  Dexter  Prime 
Prince,  second  dam  Lilly  Thorn  by  Electioneer,  third 
dam  Lady  Thorn  Jr.,  dam  of  Santa  Claus  2:17}  by 
Williams  Mambrino.    

Orville  Jones  of  Los  Angeles  recently  turned  down 
an  offer  of  $1000  for  a  yearling  stud  colt  by  Mr.  Geo. 
Ford's  Btallion  Neernut  2:12}.  It  is  said  that  Don  M. 
by  Neernut  is  the  fastest  green  trotter  on  the  Los 
Angeles  track.  He  stepped  the  laBt  quarter  of  that 
track  iu  314  seconds  recently  and  it  is  believed  can 
show  three  heats  now  around  2:12.  He  is  a  full  brother 
to  Burrnut,  the  horse  Mr.  Ford  has  at  Detroit  in  the 
hands  of  Frank  Colby.  Mr.  Colby  says  Burrnut  is 
the  fastest  snow  trotter  in  Michigan. 


Mary  Celeste,  whose  two-year-old  record  of  2:174 
was  made  in  189S  when  she  was  a  two-year  old  iB  now 
at  the  age  of  nine  years,  queen  of  the  snow  path  at 
Pearia,  Illinois.  She  was  bred  by  the  late  William 
Corbett  at  San  Mateo,  and  is  by  Oro  Wilkes  out  of 
Fidelia  by  Director,  and  is  therefore  a  half  sister  to 
Alex  Brown's  good  stallion  Nushagak,  sire  of  Aristo 
2:08}.  Mary  Celeste  is  now  owned  by  the  Danforth 
Farm,  Illinois,  that  also  owns  the  California  bred 
champion  Klatawah  2:054  at  three  years. 


Few  horses  have  been  campaigned  so  severely  dur- 
ing four  consecutive  seasons  as  famous  Effie  Powers 
2:08}.  Her  late  owner  and  driver,  Larry  Gray,  is 
authority  for  the  statement  that  during  the  past  four 
seasons  Efiiie  Powers  was  started  in  seventy-two 
races,  won  first  money  in  twenty-nine,  second  in 
twenty-five,  third  in  ten  and  fourth  in  seven.  She 
was  behind  the  money  only  four  times  in  these  seventy- 
two  races  and  distanced  once.  It  will  be  interesting 
to  watch  the  career  of  the  foals  that  she  produces  by 
Dan  Patch  1:56.  

Hazel  Patch,  a  black  gelding  by  Hard  Patch,  re- 
duced Mb  record  in  1£04  from  2:12}  to  2:054,  and  has 
been  trained  and  driven  in  his  races  by  his  owner, 
J.  W.  Flack  of  Milwaukee,  who  has  been  laughed  at 
by  other  horsemen  because  he  is  what  they  call  a 
"freak"  trainer.  He  bandages  the  animal's  legs  from 
the  body  down,  has  placed  weights  on  the  hind  as 
well  as  the  forefeet  of  Hazel  Patch,  and  these  weights 
are  of  peculiar  weight  and  shape.  He  never  rubs  his 
horses  after  a  race  and  works  tnem  to  the  speed  limit 
as  soon  as  he  commences  training. 


Owners  of  stallions  deserving  of  liberal  patronage, 
says  the  Western  Horseman,  have  failed  to  make  pro- 
fitable returns  on  their  investments  by  being  afraid  of 
"printer's  ink."  An  owner  may  believe  that  he  has 
a  great  horse,  one  that  is  worthy  a  liberal  patronage, 
and  one  that  would  secure  a  creditable  list  of  standard 
performers  if  afforded  an  opportunity,  but  unless  he 
educates  the  public  to  a  similar  belief  the  stallion  will 
prove  a  failure.  The  owner  who  causes  his  stallion  to 
be  talked  about  is  the  one  that  has  started  the  horse 
toward  popularity.  Publicity  is  the  only  method 
known  among  men  or  "angels, "  for  that  matter,  that 
will  make  business  good. 


From  Kentucky  comes  intelligence  of  the  death,  at 
J.  E.  Clay's  Marcbmont  Stud,  Paris,  of  the  noted 
broodmare  Zoraya,  by  Guy  Wilkes  2:15}— Neluska, 
by  Sultan  2:24,  aged  19.  She  was  the  dam  of  the  cele- 
brated filly  Katharine  A.  (4)  2:11|,  by  Wiggins  2:19.4, 
recently  exported  to  Europe,  and  the  winner  of  the 
two-year-old  Kentucky  Futurity  of  1902  in  2:14,  the 
world's  record  for  her  sex  and  age. 


Secretary  W.  G.  Preuitt  of  the  Montana  State 
Board  of  Live  Stock  Commissioners  includes  this  in 
his  official  report  for  1904.  "The  shipments  of  horses 
out  of  the  State  during  the  year  1904  aggiegated 
37,9S4  head,  all  of  which  were  inspected  by  stock  in- 
spectors or  sheriffs  in  the  counties  from  which  thev 
were  shipped.  This  is  a  decrease  over  the  previous 
year  of  about  20,000  head,  and  the  range  horses  in 
Montana  are  being  pretty  thoroughly  shipped  out." 


Dave  McClary's  new  purchase  is  ca  led  Red  Pointer. 
He  is  a  gelding  by  Star  Pointer  1:59},  dam  Alice  M., 
the  dam  of  Red  Seal  2:10.  In  his  time  McClary  has 
sold,  green,  Elastic  Pointer  2:06},  for  which  he  got 
$10,000  on  showing  a  trial  of  2:09j":  Morning  Star  2:04} 
he  sold  one  year  ago  for  $9000,  and  last  August  he 
sold  the  California  bred  tbree-year-old  Rey  Direct 
colt,  Rey  del  Valle,  for  big  money  on  showing  a  mile 
at  Buffalo  in  2:07}.  Hs  also  srold  Lord  Revelstoke  2:12}

Lafe  Shafer,  trainer  for  Terrace  Farji,  Titusville, 
Pa.,  is  wintering  several  head  at  Memphis.  Among 
the  lot  is  the  black  filly  Zelma  by  Beauseant  (2.064); 
Zephyr  (4)  (2.11  by  Zombro  (2.11),  that  every  one  at 
Memphis  is  in  love  with.  She  is  pronounced  by  Ed. 
Geers  to  be  "one  of  the  best  and  classiest  two-year-old 
he  ever  saw."  This  filly  has  certainly  a  license  to  be 
fast  as  not  only  is  her  sire  a  sensationally  fast  horse, 
but  her  dam  was  also  extremely  fast  and  it  will  be 
remembered  was  the  winner  of  that  memorable  heat 
at  Hartford  in  1902,  when  the  judges  claimed  not  to 
have  snapped  their  watches  and  no  time  was  hung 
out,  but  which  was  caught  by  numerous  watches  close 
to  the  world's  four-year-old  filly  record. — American

Rather  than  not  race  him,  Snow,  who  drives  Lo- 
canda,  would  be  willing  to  pit  the  little  son  of  Allerton 
against  almost  any  pacer,  as  he  has  supreme  confi- 
dence in  the  speed  and  gameness  of  his  pony,  and 
when  it  comes  to  judging  a  pacer  from  every  angle, 
Snow  is  the  equal  of  any  man.  Locanda  beat  John 
M.  at  Syracuse  last  fall,  taking  his  record  of  2:03}  in 
that  race,  and  although  John  M  subsequently  paced 
to  a  mark  below  2:03,  Snow  does  not  think  he  has  any- 
thing on  Locanda  when  the  lacter  is  in  order  for  a 
race.  Locanda,  by  the  way,  is  said  to  have  been  bid 
in  at  a  recent  Ne  n  Year  auction.  "Doc"  Tanner,  act- 
ing for  Mr.  Billings,  bid  something  like  $5300  for  the 
horse,  but  Locanda's  owner  was  not  disposed  to  let 
him  go  at  that  price,  and    he  stayed  in  Snow's  stable 

C.  H.  Durfee  son  of  C.  A.  Durfee  went  to  Los 
Angeles  last  week  and  returned  a  day  or  two  ago  with 
the  stallions  Coronado  2:124  by  McKinney  and  Peti- 
gru  2:104  by  Kingward,  son  of  Onward.  Mr.  Durfee 
will  keep  these  stallions  at  the  San  Jose  track  during 
the  breeding  season  and  will  also  have  Almaden  2:22} 
as  a  two-year-old  by  Direct  out  of  Rose  McKinney  and 
Galindo,  son  of  McKinney  and  the  great  brood  mare 
Elsie,  in  the  stud.  Coronado  which  is  without  d  oubt 
more  like  McKinney  than  any  of  his  sons  and  Peti- 
gru  will  be  in  the  stud  at  a  fee  of  $50  each.  The  fee 
for  the  services  of  Almaden,  winner  of  last  year's 
Occident  Stake  will  be  S40  and  Galindo  will  be  per- 
mitted to  serve  a  few  mares  at  $30.  Mr.  Durfee  will 
have  the  greatest  quartette  of  trottiug-bred  stallions 
under  one  management  on  the  coast  and  breeders 
should  be  able  to  select  one  from  them  that  will  be 
the  proper  nick  for  almost  any  mare. 

Th6re  is  an  old  story  that  in  one  of  the  old  cities  of 
Italy  the  King  caused  a  bell  to  be  hung  in  a  tower  in 
one  of  the  public  squares  and  called  it  "the  bell  of 
justice."  He  then  commanded  that  any  one  who 
had  been  wronged  should  go  and  ring  the  bell,  and  so 
call  the  magistrate  of  the  city,  and  ask  and  receive 
justice.  And  when,  in  the  course  of  time,  the  lower 
end  of  the  bell-rope  rotted  away,  a  wild  vine  was  tied 
to  it  to  lengthen  it;  and  one  day  an  old  and  starving 
horse  that  had  been  abandoned  by  its  owner  and 
turned  out  to  die,  wandered  to  the  tower,  and,  in  try- 
ing to  eat  the  vine,  rang  the  bell.  And  the  magistrate 
of  the  city,  coming  to  see  who  rang  the  bell,  found 
this  old  aDd  starving  horse;  and  he  caused  the  owner 
of  that  horse,  in  whose  service  he  had  toiled  and  been 
worn  out,  to  be  summoned  before  him,  and  decreed 
that,  as  his  poor  horse  had  rung  the  bell  of  justice,  he 
should  have  justice,  and  that  during  the  remainder  of 
the  horse's  life  his  owner  should  provide  for  him 
proper  food  and  drink  and  stable. — Dumb  Animals. 

When  General  Nogi  an  mired  General  Stoessel's 
Arab  horse  after  the  fall  of  Port  Arthur  and  the 
Russian  commander  promptly  presented  the  animal 
to  his  conqueror,  the  generous  act  increased  the  feel- 
ing of  admiration  which  all  the  world  has  felt  for  the 
brave  defender  of  the  fortress  which  eight  months  of 
vigorous  land  siege  forced  him  to  surrender.  The 
cable  dispatches  do  not  say  that  the  horse  wa=  the 
general's  favorite  steed,  nor  do  they  tell  how  much 
use  Stoessel  made  of  him  duriDg  the  long  weeks  of 
almost  hopeless  resistance.  But  Port  Arthur's  defenses 
extended  over  many  miles,  and  theanimal  undoubtedly 
did  his  part  in  carrying  its  commander  from  point  to 
poir  t  in  his  daily  tour  of  inspection.  General  Stoessel 
patted  the  horse's  neck  in  farewell  as  he  turned  him 
over  to  the  Japanese,  showing  that  he  bad  the  affec- 
tion which  every  general  has  for  the  animal  that  car- 
ries him  through  a  campaign.  General  Nogi  promised 
that  the  horse  should  receive  the  best  of  care  and  at- 
tention, and  in  Japan,  where  good  horses  are  rare,  the 
animal  will  probably  become  the  equine  hero  of 
war. — Kentucky  Stock  F

LFEBHUAKY  4,   1905 


LOS     ANGELES     MATINEE. 


Welcome  Mack  by  McKinney  Paces  Two  Heats 
Below  2.10. 


Forced  finishes  and  phenomenal  time — the  fastest 
ever  hung  out  at  the  Driving  Club  mseting — featured 
last  Saturday's  midwinter  matinee  at  Agricultural 
Park. 

In  the  dead  of  the  calendar  winter;  on  the  twenty- 
eighth  day  of  January  when  the  telegraph  is  telling 
its  frigid  tales  of  the  ice-fettered  East — when  horse- 
men beyond  the  Rockies  are  bundled  up  in  furs  taking 
occasional  spins  through  the  knife-sharp  air  in  their 
cutters  and  living  in  hopes  of  the  warmer  months  to 
come — when  the  "hot-stove  circuit"  is  going  down 
the  "big  ring"  again— does  it  seem  possible  that  with- 
in the  confines  of  the  same  country  in  Southern  Cali- 
fornia, a  coterie  of  harness  horse  lovers  and  their 
friends  could  be  complaining  of  the  noonday  warmth 
as  they  sat  through  two  race  miles,  the  one  in  2:09  and 
the  other  in  2:082? 

Yet  these  things  were  done,  and  more.  In  the  pres- 
ence of  many  Eastern  reinsmen  each  delighted  with 
what  he  saw,  the  Driving  Club  successfully  brought 
of  the  greatest  afternoon's  spo:'ii  in  its  history,  and 
literally  bathed  itself  in  glory.  Had  two  dollars  ad- 
mission been  charged  and  the  show  branded  "profes- 
sional" none  could  have  complained  that  full  value  re- 
ceived was  not  given. 

Out  of  a  programme  liberally  studded  with  good 
things  all  worthy  of  note,  the  free-for  all  pace  stood 
out.  pre-eminent  by  virtue  of  the  unprecedented  per- 
formance of  Ed.  Delorey's  brown  gelding,  Welcome 
Mack,  who  completely  outclassed  the  other  contest- 
ants for  Byron  Erkenbrecher's  cup.  Going  to  the 
half  in  1 :04  after  a  lively  pace  set  by  Dr.  Bryson's  bay, 
Tougbnut,  Delorey  let  his  prize  out  a  notch  and  suc- 
ceeded in  setting  a  new  track  record  for  Agricultural 
Park  at  2:09 — a  figure  that  endured  just  half  an  hour 
before  the  doughty  blacksmith  took  another  fall  out 
of  his  own  work  by  establishing  2:083  as  a  mark  for 
future  owners  of  matinee  pacers  to  shoot  at.  Neither 
Tonghnut  or  Bruner's  promising  youngster,  Stanton 
Wilkes,  had  any  business  in  that  kind  of  a  race;  Wel- 
come Mack  paced  as  if  he  were  jogging  along  in  a 
workout,  and  came  through  the  stretch  with  the  easy 
swing  of  a  scared  jackrabbit  by  virtue  of  his  victory. 
Mr.  Delorey  now  shares  the  honors  of  Dr.  C.  Bryson 
and  W.  M.  Bartee,  all  three  having  two  legs  each  on 
the  Erkenbrecher  cup. 

"Every  heat  a  race"  is  a  common  expression  in 
pool  selling,  but  most  rare  in  performance.  Yesterday 
not  only  did  the  rule  work  toks  words,  but  also  every 
race  was  a  race  in  fact,  as  well  as  in  name;  extra  heats 
were  required  in  two,  and  most  of  the  rest  were  not 
decided  until  the  drivers  had  passed  the  stand.  J.  H. 
Mitchel  started  the  day  by  winning  the  new  cup  for 
the  2:30  trotters, taking  the  trophy  with  Albuquerque 
in  straight  heats.  The  five-handed  debate  for  the 
Garland  Cup  proved  every  bit  as  exciting  as  had  been 
predicted,  and  eventually  resulted  in  a  well-earned 
victory  for  William  A.  Clark,  Jr  ,  who  signalized  h'g 
admission  to  the  club  by  winning  the  first  race  he  ever 
drove  in  a  matinee. 

All  hats  came  off  to  John  Reynolds  after  the  fourth 
race  had  been  driven  off,  for  Reynolds  had  accom- 
plished a  feat  vouchsafed  to  no  other  man — not  even 
Pop  Henderson.  He  won  two  successive  heats  with 
Rozelle — the  "pink  gelding"  of  the  programme.  This 
sturdy,  homely  old  gray  has  long  borne  quite  a  repu- 
tation among  local  horsemen  as  a  finisher,  but  his 
consistent  unsteadiness  has  always  shut  him  out  of 
serious  reckoning  and  classed  him  as  one  of  those 
horses  which  are  likely  to  win  in  2:16  and  be  distanced 
iu  2:28.  Just  what  prescription  Mr.  Reynolds  used 
on  the  old  fellow  he  refused  to  state,  but  the  Arabian 
talisman  worked  like  Dr.  Bryson's  boot  protectors, 
and  Rozelle  came  through  with  the  goods  in  a  driving 
finish  each  time. 

The  free-for-all  trot  bringing  out  Henry  Berry  with 
Briney  K.  and  Dr.  Ralph  Hagan  with  Byron  Erken 
brecker's  pet  Rita  H.  attracted  the  closest  of  atten- 
tion as  it  was  labeled  a  sure  enough  horse  race  in 
advance.  Rita  was  generally  liked  to  win,  and  she 
started  well  by  taking  the  first  heat  in  2:134  after 
collaring  Briney  and  making  him  chuck  it  up  in  the 
stretch.  The  third  leg  of  the  Christopher  Cup  looked 
very  dubious  to  Berry  at  that  stage  of  the  game,  but 
a  bad  break  by  Rita  H.  at  the  turn  in  the  second  heat 
practically  settled'the  race  as  Dr.  Hagan  committed 
the  fatal  error  of  judgment  of  coming  on  and  trying 
to  win.  The  mare  was  game  and  made  a  brave  bid, 
but  it  was  asking  too  much  of  her,  aud  she  was  "all 
in"  for  the  third  heat,  finishing  far  behind  after 
another  t  'ied  break  scon  after  the  start. 

The  2:25  pace   brought  out  five  likely   youngsters, 

ark  horse — or  to  be  exact,  the  brown  mare — 

.  A.  Canfield,   the  man   who  says  little  but 

-  ,   Touch,  has  unearthed  a  very  good  one  in  Cloe 


and  put  her  first  cup  to  her  credit  yesterday,  defeat- 
ing Dr.  Dodge's  colt  Lohengrin,  Berry's  Willie  Jib, 
H.  J.  Myers'  Gladys  M.  and  P.  B.  Michel's  Big  Don  — 
a  quartet  very  well  thought  of  by  matinee  enthusiasts. 

The  novelty  race  was  not  decided  until  the  night 
shift  headed  by  "Dick"  Bundrem  reported  for  work. 
The  afternoon's  sport  summarized  as  follows: 

Race  one,  2:30  trot,  Club  Cup:  J.  H.  Mitchel's  c  h 
Albuquerque  (Mitchel),  1-1;  L.  P.  Keller's  ch  m  Glen-

Race  Horse  Speed  Sires. 

[Winfield  James  in  Kentucky  Stock  Farm.] 
Some  four  or  five  years  ago  the  revised  table  given 
below  waB  wrought  out  and  published  in  the  Kentucky 
Stock  Farnt,.  Its  object  was  to  supply,  as  nearly  as 
mathematics  can  do,  a  demonstration  from  turf 
statistics  of  the  greatest  sire  of  racehorse  speed  iu 
the  light-harness  family.  As  a  fair  measure  of  speed 
of  this  class,  2:25  trotting  and  2:10  pacing  was  adopted! 
the  two  being  accepted  as  equivalents.  All  sires  with 
as  many  as  forty  in  standard  time,  and  as  many  as 
five  in  the  faster  classification,  are  designed  to  be 
embraced,  it  being  necessary  to  fix  some  definite  limit 
to  keep  the  table  in  compass,  and  to  take  in  only  those 
to  be  counted  as  belonging  to  the  greatest.  The 
highest  value  of  the  table  undoubtedly  lies  in  the 
estimated  per  cent  of  race  horse  performers  shown  as 
coming  from  the  total  in  standard  time  produced  by 
the  various  sires  included,  as  given  in  the  last  line. 
The  order  in  which  sires  are  given  is  determined  by 
this,  as  indicating  their  relative  rank  as  producers  of 
race  horse  performers.  It  unquestionably  would  be 
esteemed  a  perfectly  fair  basis  of  comparison  between 
sires,  if  all,their  get  frcm  mares  supposed  capable  of 
throwing  speed  could  be  ascertained,  and  the  exact 
number  put  in  training  and  developed  for  speed  could 
be  determined,  and  then  balanced  up  in  mathematical 
proportion.  But  such  facts  are  clearly,  in  themajority 
of  caseB,  wholly  inaccessible,  and  all  attempts  to  make 
computations  from  the  relative  ages  of  sires,  their 
years  in  the  stud  and  their  opportunities  equally  balk 
and  defy  the  statistician.  The  one  thing  given,  and 
the  only  that  is  reliable,  is  the  official  list  of  per- 
formers making  records  as  fast  as  standard  time,  2:30 


trotting  and 


pacing.    And  this,  on   the  whole, 


serves  very  well  the  purposes  of  comparison  desired, 
as  it  is  a  fair  indication  of  the  number  any  sire  has 
produced  that  money  and  pains  sufficient  fairly  to 
develop  have  been  expended  upon.  While  no  measure 
at  all,  so  far  as  the  possession  of  speed  for  racing  uses 
goes,  the  standard  list  serves  to  show  very  well  the 
number  actually  worked  to  an  extent  worth  consider- 
ing, and  is  a  good  starting  point  to  reckon  a  sire's 
real  speed  producing  ability  from. 

And  as  a  sire  should  be  valued  inversely  according 
to  the  total  number  produced  in  throwing  one  capa- 
ble of  becoming  barely  a  2:30  performer,  so  should  he 
be  valued  inversely  according  to  the  number  going 
slower  than  2:15  trotting  or  2:10  pacing  to  get  one  in 
the  faster,  or  race  horse  class.  It  is  perhaps  the  case 
that  a  few  owners  still  cling  to  the  notion  that  a  2:30 
trotter  or  2:25  pacer  is  fast  enough,  and  that  if  their 
stallion  can  roll  up  enough  of  these  each  year  to  be 
heralded  as  "leading  sire  of  the  year"  by  this  test, 
that  that  is  glory  sufficient,  and  so  work  tooth  and 
toe-nail  simply  for  these  slow  performers.  But  such 
are  very  few,  and  while  they  add  some  dead  timber  to 
the  standard  list  of  sires  they  own,  yet  they  do  not 
hinder  performers  of  real  merit  sired  by  their  horses 
from  going  on  and  taking  credit  in  faster  classes,  and 
their  hurrah  and  push  serves  to  make  sure  that  no 
one  with  the  least  chance  of  going  fast  fails  for  want 
of   opportunity.     So,   after  all,   even   sires  with   the 


worst  padded  standard  lists  may  be  accounted  as  hav- 
ing advantage  sufficient  in  having  everything  worked 
that  shows  any  speed  at  all  to  make  up  for  the  poor 
ones  brought  forward  that  can  be  barely  squeezed 
and  wriggled  into  the  list.  Then  in  the  get  of  every 
sire  there  are  some  naturally  of  slow  development 
that  are  discarded  by  others  somewhat  hastily,  that 
these  determined  and  persistent  pushers  to  get  a  long 
list  hold  on  to  and  eventually  make  something  out  of. 
Horses  so  handled  assuredly  have  decided  advantage 
over  the  larger  class  that  are  left  entirely  to  scratch 
for  themselves  to  get  any  performers,  depending 
wholly  upon  outside  and  disinterested  parties  handling 
their  get  and  making  their  credits  for  them.  A  large 
band  of  choice  mares  in  a  home  harem,  a  heavy  purse 
to  pay  all  bills  with,  and  a  princely  driver  to  handle 
the  reins  of  every  foal  count  for  not  a  little,  though, 
for  some  reason,  some  of  the  foremost  sires  in  this 
table  won  their  places  without  having  had  these  ad 
ventitious  circumstances  to  aid  them. 

It  is  worthy  special  remark,  and  speaks  for  the 
soundness  of  the  principle  on  which  the  proportion 
basis  is  rested,  that  though  many  of  the  sires  con- 
tained in  it  have  increased  their  numbers  largely  their 
per  cent  in  the  faster  classification  has  remained 
about  the  same,  and  their  relative  position  little 
altered.  McKinney  2:11},  who  headed  the  first  table 
with  then  only  thirty  in  standard  time,  and  a  per  cent 
of  33:3  of  the  fastest  order,  has  maintained  his  posi- 
tion each  year  in  the  lead,  with,  at  the  close  of  1904,  a 
total  of  sixty-five  performers,  and  a  per  cent  of  44.6  of 
fast  ones.  Baron  Wilkes  2:18,  at  that  time  second  in 
rank,  with  a  total  of  ninety-two  and  a  per  cent  of  22.5, 
holds  third  place  now  with  a  list  of  120  and  a  per  cent 
of  20.8  fast  ores,  the  good  young  sire  Prodigal  2:16 
having  supplanted  him  with  fifty  in  all  and  a  per  cent 
of  22.  Patron  2:14}  also  has  come  forward  fcr  a  place, 
as  aiso  have  Anderson  Wilkes  2:22}  and  Direct  2:05$ 
not  then  entitled  to  a  place.  Chimes,  Mambrino  King 
and  Simmons  have  increased  their  proportion  of  fast 
ones  and  gone  up  in  rank,  as  have  many  others  less 
conspicuously.  The  youngest  sire  at  preEent  em- 
braced is  Expedition  2:15}  at  fifteen  years  of  age,  with 
a  list  of  forty-four  and  a  per  cent  of  15  9,  with  next 
McKinney  2:11}  and  Bow  Bells  2.19},  both  aged  seven- 
t  =  en,  the  ages  given  at  the  close  of  last  season's  work, 
1904.  It  is,  probably  on  the  whole,  a  little  severer 
test  to  maintain  the  higher  per  cent  when  the  number 
of  performers  has  increased,  though  McKinney  has 
each  year  advanced  his  proportion  with  his  growing 
list  and  as  Chimes  and  some  others,  and  the  holders 
of  big  numbers,  like  Onward,  Red  Wilkes,  Alcantara 
and  Gambetta  Wilkes,  have  held  their  own  and  more.  • 
There  is  stronger  argument  that  there  has  been  a 
decided  advance  through  the  years  of  race  horse 
speed,  in  the  family,  than  any  attempts  at  comparison 
with  a  Maud  S.  2:08}  performance  can  furnish,  and 
the  showing  made  by  leading  sires  is  most  assuring. 
The  horse  has  still  to  appear,  of  course,  that  will  pro- 
duce a  king-pin  performer  in  every  foal,  but  when  a 
horse  gets  twenty-nine  of  Grand  Circuit  calibre  out  of 
sixty-five  trained  to  go  in  racing  classes,  as  did  Mc- 
Kinney, breeders  and  developers  are  not  going  to 
break  up  handling  them.  And  while  he  is  the  highest 
blossom  on  the  topmost  bough,  the  tree  is  rapidly  ad- 
vancing and  there  are  others  coming  on  that  may  be- 
fore hardly  realized  be  close  up,  or  beside  him.  The 
results  are  just  coming  to  realization  of  the  richer 
breeding,  and  the  more  rigid  selections  made  in  these 
later  years.

One  of  the  closest  finishes  of  the  meeting  at  Emery- 
ville was  on  Wednesday  last  between  Southern  Lady, 
I'm  Joe  and  Abe  Meyer  two  year-olds,  and  it  was 
only  when  the  numbers  flew  up  that  the  onlookers 
could  tell  which  had  won.  I'm  Joe  is  probably  the 
smallest  galloper  that  ever  appeared  before  our  race, 
goers,  being  considerably  under  fifteen  haDds  in 
height  and  weighing  something  like  800  pounds.  He 
is  the  first  of  the  get  of  Joe  Terry  to  race,  and  as 
there  are  a  number  of  promising  youngsters  by  the 
Flambeau  horse  around  Woodland,  it  is  more  than 
probable  that  T.  P.  Schwartz  has  in  him  a  very  high- 
class  sire.  Joe  Terry  is  a  half-brother  to  the  most 
successful  stallion,  imp.  Brutus,  both  being  from  imp. 
Teardrop  by  Scottish  Chief.  Terry  is  by  Flambeau 
(son  of  Wildidle  and  imp.  Flirt,  by  the  Derby-winner 
Hermit),  therefore  bred  on  the  most  fashionable  lines. 
Brutus  was  sired  by  McGregor,  winner  of  the  Two 
Thousand  Guineas.  Of  the  two  I  most  fancy  the 
breeding  of  Joe  Terry.  I'm  Joe  is  an  equine  toper, 
being  as  used  to  his  morning  "horn"  as  any  member 
of  the  human  family,  and  he  will  take  his  whisky 
either  from  a  tablespoon  or  from  a  bottle,  but  it 
must  be  forthcoming  or  there  is  trouble  in  the 
Schwartz  barn.  Perhaps  this  love  of  "booze"  has 
stunted  I'm  Joe's  growth,  but  at  any  rate  it  hasn't 
affected  either  his  speed  or  stoutness  of  heart. 


the  big  race.  W.  R.  Condon,  with  111  lbs.  looks  to 
have  a  chance.  Dainty  has  been  declared  it  is  under- 
stood, also  Schoolmate,  who  has  been  going  great 
guns  at  Los  Angeles.  Horatius  has  a  chance  with 
109  lbs.  up,  for  he  ran  a  remarkable  race  in  the  Ascot 
Handicap  the  other  day,  winding  up  a  good  third 
after  being  twelfth  at  the  half-mile  ground. 

Ralph  H.  Tozer 


Greenock's  win  of  last  Wednesday  was  most  satis. 
factory  to  his  owner,  James  Woods,  who  will  now 
probably  retire  the  grand  old  racer  to  the  stud,  where 
I  predict  he  will  make  a  great  name  for  himself.  He 
is  a  magnificent  individual,  a  rich  brown  in  color,  and 
has  won  close  to  forty  races  in  his  day.  Greenock  is 
one  of  the  very  few  Bramble  horses  on  this  Coast, 
Abalanzar  being  the  only  other  one  that  I  can  call  to 
mind.  TheBtud  success  of  Ben  Brush,  son  of  Bramble, 
has  been  phenomenal,  and  he  is  bred  much  as  is 
Greenock.  The  latter  won  several  stakes  in  the 
far  East  and  Middle  West  in  the  colors  of  John  F. 
Schorr,  of  Memphis,  and  last  season  at  Los  Angeles, 
Greenock  defeated  some  of  the  best  horses  at  Los 
Angeles  and  ran  a  number  of  very  creditable  races  at 
nearly  all  distances.     

The  turf  situation  in  the  Middle  West  and  South 
has  taken  a  curious  turn.  It  now  looks  as  if  there 
would  be  no  war;  that  the  Western  Jockey  Club 
would  take  the  "outlaw"  ban  off  all  the  men  and 
horses  that  participated  at  Union  Park,  St.  Louis, 
and  let  horsemen  go  into  either  the  American  Jockey 
Club  fold  or  race  with  them,  as  they  see  fit  to  do. 
Capt.  P.  J.  Carmody  of  Union  track,  declares  the 
Corrigan  side  (the  American  Jockey  Club)  holds  the 
whip  hand,  and  that  the  Western  Jockey  Club  will 
aoon  be  but  an  unpleasant  memory.  Advices  from  St. 
Louis  are  to  the  effect  that  the  Captain  and  his  friends 
would  have  gone  to  $150,000  for  the  track  if  forced  to 
do  so,  and  when  they  secured  the  plant  for  $70,000 
there  was  a  regular  wine  feast  at  Carmody's  place  on 
Eighth  street.  The  proposed  repeal  of  the  breeders' 
law  in  Missouri  makes  the  Cella-Adler-Tilles  crowd 
quake  in  their  boots,  but  Capt  Carmody  says  he  has 
no  doubt  but  that  there  will  be  racing  in  the  Mound 
City  under  some  sort  of  law.  I  believe  the  new  law 
will  curtail  racing  to  thirty  days  per  year  over  any 
particular  track.  The  latest  news  from  St.  Louis  is 
to  the  effect  that  Phil  Chew  is  anxious  to  turn  Kinloch 
Park  over  to  the  Carmody  forces,  and  this  would  in- 
dicate there  is  a  feeling  among  the  "Magnates"  in 
Missouri  that  the  racing  cloud  has  no  silver  lining. 
Mr.  Chew  has  been  identified  with  Cella,  Adler  and 
Tilles  up  to  this  time,  and  his  change  of  heart  might 
mean  that  he  was  desirous  of  "getting  even"  for  some 
wrong  or  was  still  identified  with  the  Mafia  and  de- 
sired to  sell  a  gold  brick  to  Capt.  Carmody  and  his 
confreres.  A  meeting  of  the  American  Jockey  Club 
is  called  for  February  4th  in  the  Monadnock  building, 
Chicago,  at  which  time  officers  will  be  elected  and 
the  adoption  of  laws  governing  the  new  body  come  up 
for  passage.  

James  Blute  brought  these  horses  up  from  Ascot 
Park  on  the  25th  of  January  to  race  at  Emeryville 
and  these  were  Sais,  Tramoter  and  Cincinnatus.  Up 
to  Thursday  of  this  week,  Sais  had  started  four  times, 
winning  twice  and  being  Becond  the  same  number  of 
times.  Tramoter's  record  was  three  starts  running 
respectively  third,  second  and  first.  Cincinnatus  ran 
four  times,  winning  once.  If  all  horses  ran  as  con- 
sistently as  those  of  Mr.  Blute  there  would  be  few 
bookmakers  left  to  operate  at  local  tracks. 


From  Los  Angeles. 

The  meeting  here  is  now  just  half  finished  and  up 
to  date  has  been  an  unqualified  success;  never  before 
in  the  history  of  winter  racing  in  California  has  there 
been  such  an  exceptionally  good  lot  of  horses  brought 
together  nor  have  the  horses  run  closer  to  form  than 
they  have  this  season  at  Ascot  Park.  The  result  of 
this  has  been  very  disatrous  to  the  bookmakers  and 
several  bank  rolls  have  faded  away  to  nothing.  Many 
bookmakers  have  laid  off  from  time  to  time  and  again 
tried  their  luck  but  always  with  the  same  result  and 
it  is  a  matter  of  record  that  no  book  now  doing  busi- 
ness in  the  ring  is  winner  to  any  extent  worth  mention- 
ing. 

Morris  McKight,  who  has  been  assistant  to  Starter 
Dick  Dwjer  for  several  years,  will  do  the  starting  at 
the  Oaklawn  track  at  Hot  Springs.  Before  leaving  the 
Ascot  Park  track  the  jockeys  and  trainers  presented 
him  with  a  handsome  diamond  horseshoe  scarf  pin. 

Last  Saturday  the  Ascot  Handicap,  the  richest 
stake  of  the  meeting,  was  run  off  and  the  race  was 
worth  going  miles  to  see.  The  field  that  went  to  the 
barrier  was  without  doubt  the  classiest  bunch  that 
ever  breasted  the  tape  on  this  side  of  the  continent. 

The  McLaughlin  stable  consisting  of  Oxford  and 
Pasadena  was  installed  favorite  at  twos  and  remained 
at  those  odds  throughout,  notwithstanding  the  heavy 


eighty-pound  boy  now  riding  here,  is  the  greatest  turf 
find  of  the  season  and  the  most  promising  rider  in 
America."  "McDaniel, "  he  said  recently  to  a  friend, 
"reminds  me  of  Danny  Maher,  he  crouches  far  up  on 
a  horse's  withers  and  has  good  control  of  his  horse's 
head.  He  seldom,  if  ever,  uses  his  whip  and  this  is  a 
good  trait  in  a  youngster  as  they  are  inclined  to  use 
the  whip  too  freely.  He  is  alert  at  the  post  and  in  a 
finish  hasoften  made  Hilderbrand,  the  leading  jockey, 
of  last  season  look  like  a  novice.  I  have  an  option 
on  a  two-year-old  contract  with  Pudden's  father." 

The  jockey  is  a  grandson  of  Col.  McDaniel,  the 
trainer  of  Harry  Bassett  aDd  other  great  horses  that 
Jimmy  Ro  <ve  used  to  ride  when  a  boy. 

The  steeple  chases  and  hurdle  races,  of  which  one  or 
more  have  been  given  weekly  of  late  could  be  elimin- 
ated from  the  program  and  their  loss  would  not  he 
felt;  speaking  from  either  a  speculative  or  a  specta- 
cular point  of  view.  There  are  no  jumpers  here 
worthy  of  the  name  and  their  numbers  are  so  few  that 
practically  the  same  field  goes  to  the  post  in  each 
event.  Ihe  only  novelty  being  that  on  each  occasion 
there  is  a  different  favorite  which  generally  succeeds 
in  winning  with  a  well  backed  second  choice  in  the 
place.  George  B.  Kelley. 

Pony  Races  Declared  Off. 

San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Jan.  31,  1905'. 

Editor  Breeder  &  Sportsman:  In  consequence 
of  Saturday  next  being  the  date  for  the  decision  of  the 
Burn's  Handicap  it  has  been  decided  to  declare  off  the 
postponed  Matinee  of  the  California  Polo  and  Pony 
Racing  Association  on  that  date.  The  events  sched- 
uled will,  however,  be  decided  this  week  prior  to  the 
commencement  of  the  Polo  Matches. 

The  Association  is  already  miking  preparations  for 
the  meeiing  to  be  given  at  Ingleside  on  February  22, 
Mr.  Thos.  H.  Williams  having  kindly  placed  that 
Race  Course  at  the  disposal  of  the  Association,  the 
proceeds  of  which  are  to  he  divided  between  the 
Woman's  Hospital  and  the  Armitage  Orphanage. 
The  feature  event  of  the  afternoon's  sport  will  be  a 
two-mile  Steeple  Chase  to  be  ridden  by  members  of 
the  Association  on  hunters  that  have  been  qualified 
with  the  San  Mateo  hounds  this  season. 
Yours  truly, 

Robert  Leighton,  Sec.

play  on  its  chances.  The  others  were  held  at  an 
average  of  sixes,  although  Bragg,  Nitrate,  Horatius 
and  the  Yeager  entry  went  to  the  post  at  long  odds. 
Starter  Holtman  eaughi  them  in  line  almost  im- 
mediately after  they  arrived  at  the  post  and  got  them 
away  to  a  perfect  start;  Pasadena  at  once  went  to  the 
front  and  closely  followed  by  Oxford  set  a  heart  break 
ing  pace,  running  the  first  six  furlongs  in  l:13j  and 
the  mile  in  1:39J;  here  Pasadena  dropped  out  of  it, 
and  Oxford  took  up  the  running,  finishing  the  mile 
and  a  quarter  in  2:06.  Schoolmate  made  a  most  de- 
termined challenge  the  last  eighth,  but  was  unable  to 
get  up,  although  Oxford  had  to  be  band  ridden  the 
olosing  strides  to  beat  him  a  long  head.  Horatius  and 
Requiter  fought  it  out  for  the  show  money  a  length 
behind  the  leaders,  the  verdict  going  to  the  former 
by  a  head.  Then  came  Pasadena,  High  Chancellor, 
Flo  Bob,  Fossil,  Bragg,  Glisten,  Sidney  C.  Love, 
Watercure  and  Nitrate.  Oxford's  performance  was 
a  most  brilliant  one,  and  stamps  him  a  high  class 
three-year-old;  he  was  conceding  all  the  way  from 
ten  to  thirty  five  pounds  to  first  class  horses  over  a 
distance  of  ground  early  in  the  year  and  had  little 
difficulty  in  disposing  of  them.  Oxford's  victory  in 
this  stake  put  his  owner.  James  McLaughlin,  well  in 
the  lead  of  winning  owners  up  to  date. 

Jockey  Fuller  seems  to  have  recovered  thefoim

jockeys,  Tod  Sloan  says  that   "Pudden  McDaniel,  the

On  Performing  Dogs. 

Scientific  investigation  reveals  that  the  dog  was  the 
first  animal  domesticated  by  man.  In  the  dim  ages 
before  writien  history  commences,  pre-historic  man 
had  tamed  the  dog,  who  ever  since  has  been  the  friend 
and  servant  of  man.  The  training  of  dogs  for  public 
performance  is  not  so  ancient,  for  that  came  about  a 
few  thousand  years  later;  still  it  can  boast  a  very 
respectable  antiquity,  and  that  performances  by  ani. 
mals,  including  the  dog,  were  favorite  amusements  of 
the  ancient  Greeks  and  Romans,  is  known  to  every 
student  from  the  frequent  allusions  made  to  such 
entertainments  iD  the  writings  of  classic  authors. 
During  the  Middle  Ages  animal  performers  were  vastly 
popular  in  every  civilized  land,  and  to  the  present 
day  afford  entertainment  and  instruction  to  the 
people  of  every  county  "from  China  to  Peru."  In 
England  such  entertainments  are  increasingly  popu- 
lar, and  scarcely  a  month  passes  in  London  but  that  a 
new  dog  "turn"  forms  an  attractive  item  in  the  pro- 
grams of  one  or  other  of  our  chief  theaters  of  varieties, 
Btates  the  English  Kennel  Gazette.  At  the  present 
moment  such  performances  are  nightly  given  at 
three  of  the  principal  West  End  establishments, 
and  to  these  theaters  visits  were  made  in  order 
to  learn  something  of  the  methods  employed 
in  training  dogs  for  public  performance,  and  to 
describe  the  performances  themselves  for  the 
benefit  of  our  readers.  In  carrying  out  this  inten- 
tion we  have  received  kind  assistance  from  Mr. 
Charles  Morton,  of  tbe  Palace  Theater;  Mr.  Prank 
Allen,  the  general  manager,  and  Mr.  Henry  W. 
Garrick,  of  the  London  Hippodrome,  and  Mr.  Philip 
Yonke,  of  the  Tivoli,  all  ot  whom  at  their  respective 
places  of  entertainment,  were  good  enough  to  arrange 
for  interviews  with  trainers. 

Before  speaking  of  each  individual  performance,  it 
may  be  well  to  summarize  one  or  two  impressions 
which  we  received  from  these  interviews.  In  the  first 
place,  the  performances  themselves,  like  all  other 
mundane  things,  have  undergone  modification.  For- 
merly the  stage  was  filled  with  a  troupe  of  dogs,  each 
with  his  own  part  to  play  in  some  trick  or  interlude. 
The  tendency  nowadays  is  for  one  dog  only  to  bo  used, 
and.  although  Mr.  Herbert's  entertainment  at  the 
Hippodrome  is  given  by  a  troupe  of  highly-trained 
dogs,  in  each  of  the  other  tbree  entertainments  we 
have  to  describe,  one  dog  only  occupies  tbe  stage. 
"George,"  in  our  interview  with  him,  stated  that  it  Ib 
much  more  difficult  to  train  one  dog  to  go  through  an 
acceptable  performance  than  to  train  many,  as  tbe 
tax  upon  the  memory  of  a  single  dog  is  greater,  and 
we  readily  believe  it. 

Many  i  eople  have  the  idea  that  in   the  case  of  all 

perlorming  animals  cruelty  is  the  medium  by  which 

the  pel 'ormers  are  made  to   entertain  the  audience. 

ist  this  was   undoubtedly  true.     It  is  not  so 

.  chat  learning  was  imparted  to  our  boys  and 

■    he  aid  of  the  stick,  but  we  doubt  whether  in 


many  cases  such  methods  are  in  vogue  now,  either  in 
dealing  with  children  or  with  animals.  It  is  certainly 
not  the  case  in  any  of  the  performances  we  are  about 
to  mention.  The  dog  is  particularly  responsive  to 
kind  treatment.  Any  observant  eye,  especially  one 
quickened  with  sympathy  for  dumb  animals,  will  soon 
detect  whether  cruelty  has  been,  or  is  being  used,  and 
dogs  especially  will  exhibit  unmistakable  signs  of  the 
treatment  accorded  them.  It  is  easy  to  distinguish 
between  the  dog  which  performs  from  fear. 

Prom  each  interview  we  gathered  that  there  is  no 
breed  of  dogs  that  cannot  be  taught  to  perform  tricks, 
though,  as  in  toe  human  race,  various  members  of 
the  same  breed  vary  greatly  in  their  sagacity  and 
ability  to  receive  instruction. 

At  the  present  time  Great  Danes,  Wolfhounds, 
St.  Bernards  and  other  large  breeds  are  being  em- 
ployed upon  the  stage,  but  the  trainer  generally  pre- 
fers tbe  smaller  varieties,  for  among  other  reasons 
that  they  are  more  attractive,  and  more  agile,  and, 
especially  in  the  case  of  troupes  of  dogs,  occupy  less 
room  upon  the  stage.  There  also  appears  to  be  a 
general,  though  not  unanimous,  opinion  among 
trainers  that  thoroughbreds  are  not  usually  so  in- 
telligent as  crossbreeds,  and  the  latter  are  therefore 
more  frequently  employed.  This,  of  course,  only  ex- 
emplifies the  physical  law  with  regard  to  in-breeding, 
inter  marriage  with  blood  relations  frequently  pro- 
ducing similar  want  of  mental  alertness  and  capacity 
in  the  human  race.  Our  first  visit  was  paid  a  few 
weeks  ago  to  the  Palace  Theater,  where  a  remarkable 
performance  was  given  by  Mr.  Michael  Braham  and 
his  dog  Mickey  In  this  case  there  was  none  of  the 
paraphernalia  to  which  one  is  accustomed  in  exhibi- 
tions of  performing  animals,  and  the  whip,  or  indeed 
any  implements  of  correction,  as  in  all  other  perfor- 
mances we  shall  mention,  was  conspicuous  by  its 
absence.  Mickey,  who  acted  with  Mr.  Braham,  iB  a 
white  Bull  Terrier  with  quite  fair  points  judged  from 
the  show  bench  standpoint.  Briefly,  the  following 
comprised  the  performance: 

On  the  curtain  rising  Mr.  Braham  walked  on  to  the 
stage,  stating  that  he  was  expecting  an  assistant,  who 
had  failed  to  put  in  an  appearance.  A  ring  at  the 
bell  and  the  door  opened.  Mickey  walked  in  most 
demurely,  with  a  letter  in  her  mouth,  which  her 
master  took.  While  breaking  the  seal,  he,  in  a  con- 
versational manner,  remarked  that  it  was  usual  to 
shut  the  door  after  one,  which  Mickey,  walking  over 
to  the  door,  immediately  did. 

After  this  Mr.  Braham  talked  to  the  bitch  in  a 
quiet  way  upon  several  matters,  and  she,  in  the  course 
of  this  conversation,  went  through  her  performance. 
Thus  when  the  action  of  a  baby  just  beginning  to  use 
its  legs  was  mentioned,  Mickey  crouched  on  her  chest 
and  pushed  herself  along  by  her  hind  legs.  At  the 
mention  of  a  rainstorm,  asked  what  she  would  do,  as 
she  had  no  umbrella,  she  walked  under  her  master's 
coat.  Most  striking  was  the  conversation  about  pho- 
tography. Mr.  Braham  suggested  that  it  would  be 
well  to  have  a  photograph  taken,  and  placed  a  mirror 
upon  the  floor  to  guide  him  as  to  the  best  pose.  He 
Bat  in  his  chair  in  front  of  the  glass,  and  then  told 
Mickey,  who  was  some  little  distance  away,  that  he 
wanted  her  in  the  picture.  She  walked  across  and  sat 
some  little  distance  away.  Mr.  Braham  said,  "No, 
really,  you  will  be  out  of  focus  there;  come  and  sit  on 
on  my  right  side;"  this  she  also  did  immediately;  still 
this  was  not  satisfactory,  and  it  was  suggested  to 
Mickey  that  she  should  go  under  the  chair.  The 
bitch  sat  with  her  forelegs  straight  before  her,  and 
Mr.  Braham  told  her  to  cross  them,  which  she  did. 
She  was  then  told  to  put  the  underneath  leg  on  top, 
etc.  All  this  was  done  with  no  apparent  effort  or  fear 
of  result. 

In  giving  an  illustration  of  how  she  would  move  if 
lame,  she  walked  with  her  foreleg  out  straight,  which 
is  natural  The  entertainment  concluded  by  Mr. 
Braham  holding  a  handkerchief  before  Mickey  who 
was  seated  upon  a  chair,  and  on  raising  it,  she  had 
disappeared.  She  had  jumped  off  the  chair  on  to  a 
ledge  strapped  to  her  master's  back. 

At  our  subsequent  interview  with  Mr.  Braham,  who 
is  an  American,  and  evidently  a  lover  of  animals,  and 
possesses  the  power  of  influencing  them,  he  stated 
that  he  used  no  instruments  of  torture  when  training 
his  dogs,  and  that  his  achievements  are  arrived  at  by 
patience,  perseverance  and  sympathy  alone.  He  must 
like  a  dog  for  itself  or  he  will  acquire  no  influence 
over  it,  and  prefers  to  have  it  when  two  months  old. 
Mickey  is  just  three  years  of  age,  and  the  present  was 
her  first  performance  in  public.  It  has  therefore 
taken  nearly  three  years  to  train  her. 

When  training  he  finds  that  the  greatest  strictness 
is  required,  but  that  any  ill  treatment  is  fatal  to  the 
chance  of  ultimate  succobs — at  any  rate,  with  well-bred 
dogs.  His  experience  is,  unlike  that  of  some  others 
that  well-bred  dogs  are  much  better  than  mongrels — 
the  former  being  better  for  training  properly  and 
humanely  and  the  latter  better  for  a  beating!  He 
contends  that  a  well-bred  dog  aB  a  rule  bitterly  resents 
ill  treatment,  it  feels  it  for  a  considerable  time,  and  it 
is  doubtful  if  it  ever  forgets  it;  but  a  mongrel  will 
take  a  lot  of  bullying.  He  further  stated  that  it  can 
always  be  detected  when  the  whip  has  formed  a  con- 
siderable part  of  the  training,  and  instanced  "walking 
lame."  Many  dogs  in  performing  this  trick  carry 
their  legs  with  the  paws  curled,  a  sign  that  the  said 
paws  have  had  many  a  hard  rap  with  the  stick. 

He  gave  several  instances  within  his  own.  know- 
ledge where  cruelty  was  indulged  in  during  training. 
He  finds  that  in  the  course  of  training  that  as  the 
dog  improves  the  sagacious  expression  increases. 
Training,   however,   makes  dogs  extremely   jealous, 


and  he  can  never  allow  another  dog  into  the  room 
while  hiB  pupil  is  engaged  at  his  lessons.  As  far  as 
breed  goes,  he  does  not  consider  one  breed  more 
sagacious  than  another,  and  is  certain  by  proper 
training  one  selected  specimen  would  be  as  good  as 
another.  He  has  been  told  that  a  Bull-dog  makeB  a 
difficult  pupil  and  is  anxious  to  get  one  given  him 
upon  which  he  may  try  his  hand.  Before  leaving 
Mr.  Braham,  we  went  into  his  dressing  room  and  wa9 
introduced  to  Mickey  herself.  Mr.  Braham  asked 
whether  we  did  not  think  the  performance  a  stereo- 
typed one  which  she  went  through  daily  from  end  to 
end.  "We  acknowledged  that  was  our  impression,  and 
we  were  asked  to  talk  so  the  dog  ourselves.  On  enter- 
ing the  room,  Mickey  was  sitting  upon  a  chair.  We 
said:  "Will  you  be  good  enough  to  close  the  door," 
and  she  at  once  did  so. 

We  were  also  given  a  small  performance,  not  on  the 
bill.  A  number  of  colored  cups  were  placed  upon  the 
floor  and  we  were  allowed  to  select  the  colors  the 
bitch  was  to  bring.  She  made  no  mistake,  and  what 
is  more  extraordinary,  when  asked  to  bring  tbe  same 
colored  cup  she  had  just  pinked  up,  she  simply  sat 
down  and  gazed  up  into  the  face  of  her  owner.  This 
performance  seemed  to  us  a  proof  that  she  did  really 
discern  the  colors. 

[Concluded  Nest  Week] 


Concerning  Scotties. 


The  predominant  feature  in  a  Scottish  Terrier 
should  be  power  and  proportion;  he  should  show 
great  muscle  and  strength  in  every  part,  without 
number,  and  this  strength  should  be  in  proportion. 
The  short,  compact  body,  with  broad,  deep  cheBt  and 
muscular  loin,  must  be  balanced  by  a  powerful  head 
and  jaw.  The  standard  is  emphatic  on  the  subject. 
Muzzle,  very  powerful;  nose,  a  good  size;  neck,  thick 
and  muscular,  st-ongly  set;  chest,  broad,  proportion- 
ately deep;  body,  exceedingly  strong  in  hindquarters; 
legs,  very  heavy  in  bone;  thighs,  very  muscular;  feet, 
strong,  general  appearance,  compact,  possessed  of 
great  muscle  in  hindquarters;  and,  lastly,  that  excel- 
lent conclusion:  "In  fact,  a  Scottish  Terrier,  though 
essentially  a  Terrier,  cannot  be  too  powerfully  put 
together."  So  many  breeds  have  gone  astray 
through  exaggerating  desired  qualities  that  the  par- 
enthetic clause  in  this  conclusion  is  of  great  import- 
ance. "Essentially  a  Terrier."  must  be  held  to 
signify  alertness  and  activity  and  that  there  is  a 
limit  to  the  breadth  of  chest  or  the  strength  of  head. 
If  a  dog  is  to  retain  its  proportion  excessive  breadth 
of  chest  would  necessitate  undue  heaviness  in  hind- 
quarters with  the  resulting  clodiness;  while,  if  we  get 
the  skull  too  thick,  it  is  out  of  proportion  with  an 
active,  compact  body.  On  the  other  hand,  we  must 
equally  avoid  a  too  fine  head,  as  it  will  appear  weak 
in  comparison  with  the  muscular  body,  and  to  retain 
correct  proportion  would  require  a  narrow  chest  and 
weak  hindquarters,  •vith  the  consequent  loss  of  the 
characteristic  of  power.  It  is  not  an  uncommon 
event  in  most  breeds  that  a  judge  should  conless  to 
never  look  behind  a  moderate  head,  or  even  to  admit 
that  he  makes  his  awards  mainly  on  the  merits  of  the 
head.  This  method  is  most  absurd  in  a  breed  like 
Scots,  where  great  strength  in  small  compass  is  de- 
sired, as,  unless  the  head  is  in  proportion  to  the  body, 
it  may  be  described  as  a  bad  head,  whatever  its 
merits  may  be  were  it  decapitated,  for  without  pro- 
portion we  are  likely  to  get  abnormality.  We  do  not 
want  a  pocket  Hercules,  but  an  active  muscular  dog, 
quick,  keen  and  strong,  and  a  sense  of  proportion 
6aves  us  from  either  strength  without  beauty  or 
beauty  without  strength. 

That  the  framers  of  the  standard  were  of  this 
opinion  is  shown  by  the  scale  of  points,  for  the  skull 
receives  5  points  and  muzzle  5 — one-tenth  of  the  whole 
between  them — and  if  we  add  5  for  eyes  and  10  for 
ears,  one-quarter  of  the  whole  is  made  up.  The  Eng- 
lish standard  deducts  5  points  from  ears,  and  divides 
them  between  muzzle  and  skull,  but  both  agree  in 
considering  the  head,  including  eyes  and  ears,  should 
only  be  valued  as  one  quarler  of  the  total  points. 
Size  and  coat  are  considered  of  as  much  value  yet  few 
judges  place  tbe  same  importance  upon  size  as  they 
do  upon  skull  and  muzzle  combined,  which  is  the 
Scottish  standard's  appreciation  of  their  respective 
merits.  Body  receives  15  points,  neck  5,  cheBt  5  and 
legs  and  feet  10,  in  all  35  points,  or  as  7  is  to  5  in  com- 
parison with  head  properties.  The  remaining 40  points 
include  15  for  coat,  10  for  size,  10  for  general  appearance 
and  5  between  tail  and  color;  and,  classing  these  to- 
gether, we  get  the  relative  values  as  8  to  these,  7  to 
body  and  5  to  head.  Judging  by  points  has  never 
been  popular,  as  it  is  impractical,  but  this  is  no  reason 
for  neglect  of  the  standard  and  scale  of  points,  and  the 
value  of  the  latter  in  showing  the  comparative  im- 
portanceofthevariouspartsshould  not  beoverlooked. 
According  to  the  Scotch  scale,  the  following  are  con- 
sidered of  equal  importance,  each  being  valued  at  10 
points,  or  one-tenth  of  the  whole — skull  and  muzzle, 
ears,  neck  and  chest,  legs  and  feet,  size  and  general 
appearance.  The  two  individually  most  important 
points  are  body  and  coat,  each  valued  at  15.  Though 
eyes  only  receive  5  points  light  eyes  are  usually  a  very 
severe  handicap  in  the  show  ring,  but,  even  judged 
by  points,  it  is  open  to  the  judge  to  consider  that  a 
light  eye  ruins  the  general  appearance,  and  so  to  de- 
duct a  further  10  points.  These  points  for  general 
appearance  are  a  fluctuating  quantity,  and  a  judge 
who  desired  to  give  different  features  the  values 
attached  to  them  in  the  standard  could  make  use  of 
them  to  emphasize  his  objection  to  any  particular 
failing.  But,  as  has  been  said,  judging  by  points  iB 
obsolete  for  many  excellent  reasons,  one  of  which  is 
that  a  dog  might  exist  which  would  scope  heavily 
point  by  point  and  yet  be  a  perfect  horror.  So  that 
if  the  scale  of  points  were  used  in  judging,  it  would  be

necessary  to  give  a  larger  number  to  general  appear- 
ance, and  a  good  percentage  toexpression.  The  value 
of  the  scale  of  points  is  to  keep  us  free  from  faddiness, 
or  getting  carried  away  by  one  particular  feature;  the 
dog,  for  instance,  is  not  a  part  of  the  head,  and  good 
size  is  a  virtue,  which  should  influence  position  in  the 
prize  list  as  much  as  good  ears. 

I  may  appear  to  have  wandered  from  power  and 
proportion,  but  power  must  be  more  definitely  dealt 
with  when  the  standard  is  examined,  and  all  I  have 
written  regarding  the  scale  of  points  is  circumstantial 
evidence  of  the  necessity  of  proportion. — MacBiccer  in

ENGLISH     SETTERS     IN     TRIALS, 

A  private  field  trial  will  soon  take  place,  near 
Bodega  cross  roads,  Marin  county,  to  determine  the 
respective  merits  of  Attorney  McWade's,  of  Oakland, 
English  Setter  Tonopah,  a  son  of  Clipper  W.,  and  Jas. 
Dunham's  Plumas  (Cavalier-Loveknot).  The  race 
will  be  judged  by  the  veteran  sportsman  William 
Dormer  and  bids  fair  to  be  an  interesting  running. 


DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


BENCH     SHOW    IORE 

The  first  bench  show  in  America  was  held  in  Mine- 
ola,  N.Y.,  in  1874,  in  connection  with  the  Queens 
county  agricultural  fair.  It  was  principally  made  up 
of  shooting  dogs.  The  first  Westminster  Kennel  Club 
Bhow  was  held  in  New  York  1876  and  that  association 
has  since  been  recognized  as  one  of  the  leading  factors 
in  bench  shows.  The  New  England  Kennel  Club  held 
its  first  show  just  21  years  ago,  and  in  importance  it 
ranks  a  close  second  to  the  New  York  dog  show. 

The  first  bench  show  held  in  this  city  took  place  in 
1877.  

PACIFIC     BULL     TERRIER     CLUB. 

Bull  Terrier  circles  are  astir  and  indications  are 
bright  for  a  warm  showing  of  the  breed  here  in  May. 
The  Pacific  Bull  Terrier  Club  has  been  recently  re- 
organized and  will  soon  become  a  very  strong  specialty 
club  if  the  list  of  new  members  and  prominent  fanciers 
identified  with  the  success  of  the  club  is  a  mark  to  go 
by.  Ed  Attridge  and  W.  J.  Tiernan  are  the  tempor- 
ary chairman  and  secretary.  A  meeting  will  soon  be 
held  to  complete  final  re-organization. 

HARES     SCARCE    FOR    LEASHMEN. 

Coursing  throughout  this  State  has  been  brought 
almost  to  a  standstill  through  lack  of  hares  and  the 
situation  should  be  an  object  lesson  to  the  men  who 
think  game  birds  and  animals  need  no  protection.  It 
is  found  that  the  hares  which  overran  the  San  Joa- 
quin valley  some  years  ago  and  were  a  menace  to  the 
farmers  have  been  almost  exterminated. 

Twenty  yearB  ago  the  fields  were  so  thickly  covered 
with  hares  that  when  the  latter  were  disturbed  the 
whole  face  of  the  earth  seemed  on  the  move.  The 
hares  did  not  mind  passing  vehicles  and  drivers  used 
to  flip  them  with  their  whips  aa  they  drove  past. 
This  is  all  changed  now.  The  spectators  at  the  recent 
Bakersfleld  field  trials  covered  a  large  area  of  ground 
each  day  and  saw  comparatively  few  hares. 

There  has  been  a  systematic  campaign  against  the 
little  pests  for  years  in  addition  to  the  building  up  of 
the  country.  They  also  command  a  good  price  in  the 
market  for  food  and  have  thus  driwn  the  professional 
hunters  upon  them.  These  conditions  and  the  con- 
stant draft  on  the  visible  supply  for  the  coursing 
parks  have  about  cleaned  out  the  'jacks"  from  a  dis- 
trict that  was  literally  overrun  with  them. 

The  men  who  have  the  appliances  for  catching 
hares  for  the  coursing  parks  have  gone  to  Oregon  in 
quest  of  hares.  The  expressage  on  each  hare  shipped 
from  the  north  will  be  48  cents,  which,  with  the  ex- 
penses of  the  men  sent  after  them,  will  make  them  an 
expensive  luxury. 

A  report  from  the  north  states  that  the  famine  in 
hares,  which  threatened  for  a  time  to  put  a  stop  to 
coursing  on  this  coast,  is  over,  and  from  present  ap- 
pearances the  question  of  supply  will  not  come  up 
again  for  some  time. 

There  has  not  been  such  a  determined  campaign  of 
extermination  waged  against  the  little  pests  in  Oregon 
and  in  Idaho,  from  which  places  they  will  be  secured 
in  the  future.  The  expense  will  be  doubled  owing  to 
the  extra  oost  of  securing  them  and  the  increased 
transportation  on  the  longer  haul. 

The  hares  from  Oregon  will  be  caught  at  Echo, 
about  130  miles  from  Portland. 


IRISH    WATER    SPANIEL    KENNELS. 

We  are  pleased  to  note  the  enterprise  of  Mr.  Wm. 
Bay  of  this  city  in  establishing  a  kennel  of  Irish 
Water  Spaniels.  Several  years  ago  the  breed  was 
represented  here  by  as  good  specimens  as,  at  that 
time,  could  probably  be  found  in  the  United  States, 
among  them  were  Ch.  Dennis  C,  and  a  grand  dog  he 
was  in  his  prime,  peerless  on  the  bench  and  a  good 
worker  to  the  gun;  Ch.  Dan  Maloney,  Belle  Marsh 
and  others  in  the  Williams'  kennels  and  numerous 
good  ones  bred  from  the  trio  mentioned.  To  quite  an 
extent  the  breed  here  has  been  too  closely  inbred,  in 
fact  this  might  be  said  to  quite  a  degree,  of  the  breed 
throughout  the  United  States,  the  same  crosses  show- 
ing up  repeatedly. 

Mr.  Bay  is  the  owner  of  Mike  B.  (first  novice  S.  P. 
1904)  who  is  by  Ch.  Dennis  C.  ex  Belle  Marsh  and  an 
all  round  good  one.  He  received  this  week  from 
Burrard  Kennels,  Vancouver,  B.  C,  that  sterling 
good  bitch  Rowdy  Girl  (Assiniboine  Tim-Assiniboine 
Bodega).  Girl  has  been  a  consistent  winner  at  the 
northwest  shows  and  as  we  saw  her  this  week  is  a  very 
classy  bitch,  albeit  a  little  out  of  coat.  Being  in  whelp 
to  Ch.  Our  Chance  offers  the  possibility  of  a  good  out- 
cross.  Chance  was  bought  by  Mr.  Rolston  when  visit- 
ing the  "old  country. "  He  was  the  winner  of  many 
firsts  both  in  England  and  Ireland  and  was  looked 
upon  by  Mr.  Rolston  as  a  particularly  fitted  dog  for 
an  outcrossin  breeding  his  bitches. 

Irish  Water  Spaniels  are  dogs  that  are  in  favor  of 
sportsmen  of  the  whole  Coast  and  it  is  rather  surpris- 
ing that  the  breed  has  been  temporarily,  at  least, 
overlooked  by  local  fanciers.  Dennis  C,  is  still  in  use 
here  as  a  stud  dog  an  while  the  breed  has  a  strong 
following  here  we  believe  there  should  be  every  en- 
couragement given  for  a  revival  of  this  particular 
fancy  and  trust  that  the  Bench  Show  Committee  of 
the  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club  will  do  the  handsome 
thing  for  the  "rat  tailed  span 'els,"  at  the  coming 
show. 


BREED    TO     A    GOOD    SIRE. 

Glen  Tana  Bounder  (only  litter  brother  to  Ch. 
Anfield  Model,  the  greatest  living  sire  of  the  day)  is 
regarded  as  one  of  the  best  stud  dogs  on  the  Coast. 
This  dog  is  worthy  the  attention  of  owners  of  good 
bitches. 

Mr.  Griffiths  writes  us  about  a  piece  of  bad  luck  in 
the  recent  loss  of  his  good  brood  bitch  imp.  Glen 
Tana  Laura  Lea  (winner  of  five  firsts  and  dam  of 
the  Philadelphia  winner  Glen  Tana  Talent  and 
Balmoral  Duchess).  She  was  in  whelp  to  Rippowam's 
Archer. 

Glen  Tana  Collie  Kennels  have  at  present  for  sale 
fifteen  grandly  bred  brood  bitches  in  whelp. 


CH.  CATO  JR.  STOLEN. 

J.  M.  Golobeck  of  Crockett  had  the  misfortune  to 
lose  his  well-known  prize  winning  English  Setter 
Ch.  Cato  Jr.  last  weed.  The  dog  disappeared  one 
day  and  despite  a  vigorous  search  all  trace  of  him  has 
been  lost.  It  is  supposed  he  was  stolen  and  shipped 
out  cf  this  State,  a  fate  that  has  heretofore  befallen 
more  than  one  good  dog. 

The  disappearance  of  Constable  Moiles 'Collie  puppy 
from  Crockett  and  subsequent  recovery  from  the 
sailors  who  stole  the  pup,  gave  rise  to  a  suspicion  that 
Cato  had  been  secreted  on  one  of  several  wheat  ships 
that  were  berthed  at  the  Eckley  warehouses.  This 
suspicion  was  so  strong  that  a  search  of  one  vessel, 
the  Max,  was  made  last  Sunday  morning  whilst  the 
ship  was  lying  in  the  bay  awaiting  a  tug  to  take  her 
outside  "the  heads."  The  search  of  the  ship  was 
futile,  and  the  Setter  is  still  missing. 


to  grow  inwards  into  the  flesh.  To  prevent  this,  of 
course,  they  must  be  cut  from  time  to  time,  and  should 
any  one  have  become  overgrown  and  curved  round  in 
the  manner  described,  this  cutting  will  have  to  be 
done  by  slow  degrees.  For  soreness  and  inflammation 
between  the  claws  there  is  nothing  much  better  than 
the  liquid  extract  of  witch  hazel,  which  can  be  used 
diluted  with  four  or  five  times  its  own  bulk  of  water, 
and  is  very  soothing,  as  well  as  antiseptic. — Field  and, 
Fancy.  

The  Late  Horace  H.  Briggs. 

The  sad  sequel  to  the  reported  disappearance  of 
Horace  H.  Briggs,  noted  in  last  week's  issue,  was  an- 
nounced in  this  city  by  a  telephone  message  last 
Wednesday  Btating  that  the  remains  of  poor  BriggB 
had  been  found  in  the  San  Joaquin  river  near  Sher- 
man island  by  two  fishermen. 

Briggs  had  been  missing  since  January  3d,  and  until 
recently  the  hope  was  indulged  in  that  he  had  gone 
on  a  hunting  and  fishing  trip.  But  now  the  worst 
fears  of  his  friends  are  confirmed.  When  last  seen 
alive  he  was  in  a  skiff  on  the  river.  Later  the  skiff 
was  found  empty  on  the  shore  of  the  mainland,  and 
at  one  time  suspicions  of  foul  play  were  entertained. 

The  deceased  was  50  years  of  age  and  a  native  of 
San  Francisco.  He  leaves  a  mother,  Mrs.  Ellen  G. 
Briggs,  and  three  brothers — A.  G.  Briggs  of  Merced, 
A.  H.  Briggs  and  H.  F.  Briggs,  who  live  at  2954  Van 
Ness  avenue,  this  city.  At  one  time  he  was  field  editor 
of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  and  president  of 
the  Olympic  Club. 

Horace  Briggs  was  not  only  a  brilliant  writer  on 
topics  of  interest  to  sportsmen,  but  had  as  well  a 
gifted  pen  for  general  topics.  He  was  a  man  of  strong 
personal  character,  congenial  in  disposition  and  had 
a  host  of  staunch  friends.  His  untimely  fate  is  re- 
gretted sincerely  by  all  who  knew  him. 


GOLDEN    WEST    COLLIE    CLUB. 

Collies  will  undoubtedly  be  one  of  the  feature  breeds 
at  the  eighth  S.  F.  K.  C.  show.  The  newly  formed 
specialty  club  members  are  taking  active  interest  in 
the  coming  exhibition,  and  propose  to  make  a  record 
Coast  entry  of  Collies.  The  membership  list  of  the 
Club  is  steadily  increasing,  and  contains  the  names  of 
the  leading  Collie  fanciers  of  the  Coast. 


YOUNG     DOGS     WANTED. 

Several  communications  have  been  received  by  the 
Kennel  Editor  in  which  the  different  writers  state 
that  they  desire  to  purchase  —  two  Newfoundland 
puppies;  a  Gordon  Setter,  puppy  or  dog  one  year  old; 
an  Airedaile  Terrier,  young  dog;  and  an  Irish  Water 
Spaniel  dog  puppy  or  young  dog. 

Particulars  desired,  by  anyone  having  one  or  more 
of  the  dogs  listed  above,  may  be  obtained  from  the 
Kennel  Editor.

ing show.  

INFLAMMATION    OF    THE     CLAWS. 

It  is  frequently  asked  as  to  the  best  way  to  deal 
with  a  trouble  which  is  a  very  common  one  amongst 
some  breeds  of  dogs.  Fox  Terriers  in  particular 
suffer  from  it,  especially  if  they  are  kept  indoors,  and 
that  is  inflammation  of  the  claws,  set  up  either  by 
overgrown  nails  or  perhaps  by  the  dog's  foot  being 
trampled  upon.  There  are  swellings  and  inflammation 
between  the  toes,  which,  if  neglected,  become  chronic, 
and  the  dog  is  perpetually  suffering  from  something 
of  the  kind.  First  of  all  it  may  be  remarked  that 
dogs  which  are  kept  out  of  doors  and  have  plenty  of 
liberty  require  very  little  attention  to  their  claws. 

Running  about  on  hard  roads  prevents  the  claws 
from  growing  too  long,  whereas  in  the  case  of  pet 
dogs  kept  indoors,  running  about  on  carpets,  etc., 
all  day,  the  disposition  is  for  the  claws  to  grow  very 
long  and  to  curve  over,  and  very  soon  they  will  begin 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  Ingleside  grounds  were  open  last  Sunday  and 
a  number  of  shooters  were  present.  R.  C.  Reed  ran 
up  some  clever  scores. 

The  initial  shoot  for  this  season  will  probably  take 
place  on  Washington's  Birthday  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Union  and  Golden  Gate  Gun  Clubs. 


A  son  of  Edgecote  Peer,  now  five  months  old,  is 
said  to  be  one  of  the  best  looking  Bull  Terriers  ever 
bred  here.  

Mr.  Spencer,  a  well  known  local  Collie  fancier, 
brought  with  him  on  his  recent  return  from  "across 
the  water"  a  son  of  Balgreggie  Hope. 


The  biggest  bluerock  tournament  ever  pulled  off  in 
in  the  60uth  is  now  being  planned  by  the  executive 
committee  of  the  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club. 

Greater  added  money  will  be  hung  up  than  ever  be- 
fore, there  being  now  $200  in  the  treasury  with  which 
to  start.  Using  this  as  a  nucleus,  it  is  thought  likely 
that  at  least  $300  additional  can  be  raised  in  the  vari- 
ous ways  open  to  the  club,  and  a  flat  offer  of  $500 
added  money  is  to  be  made  as  inducement  to  distant 
shooters. 

The  tournament  will  be  another  three  days' affair 
similar  to  that  of  last  May,  and  will  occur  on  practi- 
cally the  same  dates — Friday,  Saturday  and  Sunday, 
May  5,  6  and  7.  In  addition  to  the  cash  inducements, 
the  usual  trophies  will  be  shot  for,  and  the  merchan- 
dise traditions  of  the  game  preserved  with  a  big 
twenty-five  bird  wind-up  in  which  gunnerB  will  be 
able  to  win  all  manner  of  goods  for  which  they  have 
not  the  slightest  use  on  earth. 

Within  a  few  weeks  announcements  will  be  mailed 
to  all  the  leading  trigger  knights  now  on  the  Pacific 
Coast,  and  it  is  thought  extremely  likely  that  the  big 
shoot  that  is  to  come  will  prove  a  banner  event  not 
only  in  numbers  of  contestants,  but  also  in  class. 

The  Pacific  Coast  bluerock  program  for  this  Bpring 
is  an  extensive  one  embracing  a  number  of  tourna- 
ments in  the  big  cities,  mostly  occurring  within  Bix 
weeks.  An  organized  effort  is  being  made  by  San 
Francisco  sportsmen  to  get  the  Grand  American 
Handicap  decided  in  thia  city  and  should  this  come  to 
pass.  California  will  be  visited  by  the  best  bluerock 
breakers  in  the  business.  In  this  case  Los  Angeles 
may  rest  assured  of  its  share  of  "saucer  sharks"  at 
the  three  days'  trap  carnival. 

The  Los  Angeles  shoot  will  be  an  open  one  aud 
handicaps  will  be  dispensed  with  altogeteer.  No 
amateurs  are  to  be  barred  and  the  better  they  come, 
the  better  local  gunners  wili  be  pleased.  The  money 
is  to  be  put  up  to  be  shot  for,  and  it  makes  very  little 
difference  who  gets  it. 

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


BIRDS    WERE    PLENTIFUL. 

It  is  the  concensus  of  opinion  on  the  part  of  a  num- 
ber of  gentlemen  who  were  in  attendance  at  the  re- 
cent Bakersfleld  trials  that  more  birds  were  found 
during  the  running  of  the  Derby  stake  than  were  pos- 
bly  found  for  the  dogs  to  work  on  in  allot  last  sea- 
son's trials  in  the  United  States  put  together.  It  will 
be  remembered  that  there  was  almost  a  general  lack 
of  birds  in  the  East;  in  fact,  one  trials  was  run  through 
without  finding  a  bird  in  any  stake. 

The  quail,  however,  were  not  so  remarkably  numer- 
ous that  people  had  to  be  careful  to  avoid  stepping  on 
them.  They  had  been  protected  from  molestation 
for  months  prior  to  the  trials,  the  breeding  season 
had  been  a  good  one,  cover  was  never  in  better  shape, 
and  favorable  weather  conditions,  all  together,  made 
a  plentiful  supply  of  quail. 

As  a  rule  in  casting  off  the  dogs,  judge  and  handlers 
knew  where  birds  were;  dogs  were  put  down  and 
then  ranged  far  and  wide  until  they  reached  the 
birds.     In  this  manner  ideal  work  was  performed. 

A  noticeable  incident  of  the  All-Age  occurred— the 
whole  cavalcade,  horsemen,  vehicles  and  pedestrians 
were  bunched  on  a  knoll  watching  a  brace  ranging 
some  distance  away.  Everybody  was  quiet  and  un- 
demonstrative, for  the  dogs  were  doing  spirited  work. 
Of  a  sudden  a  handsome  cock  quail  walked  out  from 
a  bunch  of  cover  almost  under  a  buggy's  w 
The  bird   was  not  apparently  frightened  bu

leisurely  out  25  feet  from  the  circle  of  intensely  in- 
terested sportsmen  and  came  to  a  halt,  standing 
proudly  erect  and  beautifully  defiant.  The  audience 
with  one  accord,  seemed  suddenly  merged  into  rigid 
statues,  so  careful  was  each  individual  not  to  disturb 
the  bird.  The  brace  of  dogs  meanwhile  were  working 
up  to  the  knoll,  suddenly  one  dog  snapped  into  a 
staunch  point,  backed  by  the  other,  on  the  game  little 
cock— the  incident  taking  place  within  25  feet  of  the 
spectators.  We  will  venture  to  say  that  this  occur- 
rence is  unparalleled  in  the  history  of  field  trials.  It 
need  not  be  supDOsed  that  the  quail  on  these  grounds 
were  tame  and  s"tall  fed,  they  were  all  found  lively  and 
game  to  the  core.         

GOOD     SHOOTING    AT    TtLAKE    LAKE. 

That  question  of  supreme  moment  to  maDy  sports- 
men _  "where  are  the  sprigs?"  —  has  at  last  been 
answered.    The  white-breasted  beauties  are  at  Tulare 

Gunners  who  have  sat  in  blinds  morning  after  morn- 
ing waiting  for  old-time  flights  that  never  came;  who 
have  strained  their  eyes  watching  the  horizon  until 
patience  ceased  to  be  a  virtue  may  be  glad  to  learn 
that  notwithstanding  the  lawless  depredations  of  the 
market  hunters,  there  are  still  countless  thousands  of 
big  ducks  on  the  Tulare,  and  splendid  sport  there  for 

aI1-  . 

Guy  "Lovelace,  a  prominent  Los  Angeles  sportsman 

and  crack  trap  shooter,  who  recently  returned  from  a 

week's  trip  to   his  ranch   near  Hanford,  put  in   five 

days  on  the  lake  shooting  ducks  and  killed   the  limit 

every  time  he  started,  picking  the  birds.     Fine,  fat, 

grain-fed  sprigs  and  plump  teal,  were  bis  choice  and 

the  killing  was  shipped  each  night  to  friends  in   this 

city  says  the  Los  Angeles  Times. 

There  are  now  around  Tulare  a  number  of  outfits 
hunting  for  the  San  Francisco  market.  They  may 
be  divided  roughly  into  two  classes:  the  "wing  shots" 
and  the  "bull  hunters."  These  last  are  about  the 
lowest  of  human  creation  permitted  to  shoulder  a  gun. 
They  stalk  sitting  flocks  by  using  a  steer  as  a  moving 
blind  and  stepping  in  unison  with  him  on  his  "off 
side"  so  as  not  to  alarm  the  unsuspecting  fowl. 
Armed  with  four-bore  muzzle  loaders  these  fellows 
dump  half  a  pound  of  shot  into  a  flock  at  one  rise  and 
often  pick  up  more  than  the  limit  to  both  barrels. 
But  limits  do  not  go  in  Tulare.  One  pair  of  duck 
murderers,  hunting  behind  the  same  steer,  boasted 
proudly  of  having  picked  up  204  sprigs  as  the  result 
of  four  shots,  but  the  story  is  a  bit  too  strong  for  even 
that  land  of  unrestrained,  unmitigated  duck  butchery. 

Big  ducks  are  always  plenty  around  the  lake,  but 
this  year  they  are  exceptionally  well  represented. 
This  is  partly  because  the  Buena  Vista  marsh  south- 
west of  Bakersfield  is  dry;  doubtless  in  some  measure 
it  is  due  to  the  poor  food  conditions  south  of  the  Te- 
hachepi,  which  cause  the  birds  to  return  to  the  land 
of  plenty  after  starving  a  week  or  so  on  the  depleted 
fields  in  "this  end  of  the  State.  There  is  no  attraction 
to  keep  ducks  here,  and  they  cannot  be  blamed  for 
betaking  themselves  to  a  place  that  offers  all  the 
'comforts  of  home"  to  wildfowl  as  Tulare  now  does. 
The  drowned  wheat  fields  and  plenty  of  freshwater 
create  a  heaven  for  webfeet. 

The  best  way  of  making  the  trip  is  to  take  the  train 
to  Lemoore  or  Hanford,  and  engage  a  team  for  the 
long  tweDty-mile  drive  to  Tulare  lake.  If  one  knows 
the  market  hunters  accommodations  can  usually  be 
arranged  for,  and  the  "wing  shots"  will  be  found 
good  fellows,  willing  to  treat  a  visitor  "right,"  and 
show  him  the  modus  operandi  of  the  game,  which 
differs  somewhat  from  duck  shooting  in  other  parts 
of  the  State.  The  engaging  of  one  of  these  keen-eyed 
chaps  for  guide  might  prove  a  paying  venture. 

Three  days  is  the  shortest  practicable  time,  and  a 
week  is  better  for  the  journey. 

The  big  wing  shots  are  a  different  class.  One  of 
them  is  J.  H.  Carlisle  the  veteran  who  always  attends 
Los  Angeles  trap  tournaments.  Mr.  Carlisle  puts  in 
his  winters  shooting  for  the  market  and  pays  expenses 
by  selling  his  birds.  He  hunts  like  a  sportsman,  and 
has  his  own  camp  established  on  dry  ground  near  the 
lake.      Lovelacestaid  with  him  while  shooting  there. 

The  wing  shots  around  Tulare  have  blinds  sunken 
in  the  shallow  water  at  ad  vantageous  places — "cans" 
they  call  them.  The  flight  is  a  noon  affair,  caused  by 
the  much  despised  "bull  hunters"  who  begin  their 
nefarious  operations  about  ten  o'clock,  starting  the 
feeding  sprigs  off  the  drowned  wheat  fields  where 
they  resort  to  gorge  to  their  neck's  capacity. 

From  11  o'clock  until  2,  the  sport  is  as  fast  as  any 
man  can  desire,  and  a  good  shot  could  easily  kill  a 
hair  hundred  birds  an  hour.  Sprigs,  teal  and  spoon- 
bills are  the  prevailing  bird;  the  festive  spoonie  has  a 
picnic  at  Tulare,  and  is  generally  passed  up  except  by 
those  who  prowl  along  the  ditches  jumping  ducks. 
The  wing  shots  use  big  stands  of  decoys. 

Sentiment  against  the  "bull  hunters"  has  run  high 
at  times  The  wing  shooters  charge  the  ground  sluic- 
ing element  with  crippling  hundreds  of  birds,  and  say 
that  the  lake  is  now  literally  dotted  with  wounded 
sprigs  feebly  crawling  about  through  the  weeds  bunt- 
ing a  place  to  lay  down  their  poor  miserable  little 
lives.  The  "bull  hunters"  are  too  busy  hunting  pot 
shots  to  pick  up  their  cripples  clean;  that  takes  more 
time  than  bombarding  another  flock.  The  "arm  of 
the  law"  doesn't  seem  to  be  long  enough  to  Btop  the 
indiscriminate  violation  of  the  limit,  and  the  statute 
might  as  well  not  be  on  the  books  so  far  as  observance 
of  it  around  Tulare  is  concerned. 


NETTING     DUCKS. 

As  a  sample  of  past  legislation  and  what  may  turn  up 
against  the  effectiveness  of  many  proposed  changes 
as  well  as  new  clauseB  added  to  the  game  lawB  we  call  at- 
tention of  sportsmen  to  the  clause  in  which  the  taking 
of  wild  ducks  with  nets  is  made  a  misdemeanor.  This 
part  of  the  law  was  aimed  particularly  at  the  net 
fishermen  who  follow  the  vocation  of  taking  6sh,  for 
ther.arkets,  in  San  Francisco,  San  Pablo  and  Suisun 
bays  as  well  as  the  Sacramento  and  San  Joaquin 
*-!ve  '3 — in  fact  all  tributary  waters  to  San  Francisco 
*  ' 

1  ;ivls  measure  in  its  present  form  is  absolutely   use- 


less. The  nets  used  are  the  same  as  the  ones  for  taking 
fish.  In  legitimate  net  fishing  wild  fowl  are  frequently 
enmeshed,  in  such  a  case  the  fisherman  has  the  repu- 
tation of  keeping  the  drowned  birds  for  what  he  can 
make  by  their  sale.  What  is  the  manner  of  determin- 
ing whether  a  fisherman  is  out  for  ducks  or  fish?  How 
can  the  arresting  officers  determine  whether  birds 
have  been  illegally  taken,  unless  they  apprehend  the 
law  violators  in  the  act  of  seining  wild  ducks?  A 
fishing  boat  may  come  in  with  less  than  50  birds,  the 
legal  limit  is  50  ducks,  in  such  case  the  men  are  im- 
mune from  interference.  That  many  ducks  are  caught 
by  the  net  fishermen  seems  to  be  pretty  well  established 
If  there  was  any  change  in  the  laws  needed,  it  would 
seem  as  if  this  particular  clause  could'  stand  Borne 
effecient  renovaiion.    

WATCH    THE    GAME    IMPORTER. 

Well  meaning  persons  sometimes  inflict  great 
damage  on  communities  by  the  importation  of  game 
and  fish.  Much  money  has  been  spent  in  some  sec- 
tions in  an  endeavor  to  rid  the  country  of  the  English 
sparrow  imported  to  this  country  by  a  kind-hearted 
philanthropist  some  years  ago.  The  planting  of 
GermaD  carp  in  the  waters  of  the  United  States  was  a 
move  made  with  the  best  of  intentions  no  doubt,  but 
with  disastrous  results.  It  was  a  kind-hearted  in- 
dividual who  imported  rabbits  into  Australia,  and  the 
natives  have  been  spending  fabulous  sums  to  rid  the 
country  of  what  has  proved  to  be  the  worst  of  pests. 
British  officers  in  Jamaica  imported  the  mongoose  to 
exterminate  snakes.  He  did,  also  pretty  much  every- 
thing else.  Now  the  islanders  want  something  to  ex- 
terminate the  exterminator.      The  moral   is  easily

noticeable.  Great  caution  should  be  exercised  in  the 
importation  of  foreign  birds,  fish  or  animals  into  a 
country  already  at  its  wits  ends  to  preserve  its  game 
and  game  fish. 

STEELHEAD    ANGLING    OVER. 

On  Thursday,  close  season  for  steelhead  trout  began 
and  will  be  in  order  until  the  opening  of  the  trout  sea- 
son April  1st. 

The  last  Sunday  of  the  season  at  Point  Reyes  (Jan- 
uary 29th)  was  enjoyed  by  about  three  score  of  anglers. 

A  number  of  fish  were  caught,  most  of  the  large 
ones,  however,  were  spent  fish 

According  to  the  Santa  Rosa  Press  Democrat  last 
week,  prospects  for  steelhead  angling  next  season  are 
evidently  first  class  as  fish  will  be  plentiful: 

"It  was  learned  yesterday,  Jan.  24th,  that  never  be- 
fore in  the  recollection  of  the  oldest  inhabitant  around 
Cloverdale  have  the  streams  tributary  to  the  Russian 
River  contained  as  many  steelheads  as  at  the  present 
time.  The  anglers  are  reported  to  have  had  excellent 
sport  and  have  landed  some  fine  large  fish." 


GEESE     SHOOTING    WITH    A    RIFLE. 

The  old  custom  among  South  Carolina  market 
hunters  was  to  use  a  monster  "duck  gun,"  carrying  a 
charge  of  shot  which  would  practically  slaughter  an 
entire  flock  at  one  shot.  This  threatened  to  extermi- 
nate the  finest  game  from  those  waters,  and  tbe  state 
took  a  hand  in  the  matter  and  stopped  the  threatened 
war  of  extinction.  The  "duck  gun"  has  been  super- 
seded by  the  rifle.  The  Confederate  sharpshooter, 
who  is  said  to  have  been  able  to  hit  a  button  on  an 
enemy's  coat  as  far  as  he  could  see  it,  is  not  in  it  with 
the  Carolina  wild  goose  shot.  A  majority  of  the 
geese  and  swans  coming  from  that  section  have  a  single 
shot  through  the  head.  The  sound  gunners  are  re- 
ported as  being  able  to  make  fifty  strikes  of  a  goose's 
head  with  a  rifle  at  200  yards.  That  means  that  he 
brings  down  his  game  from  asinkbox  or  boat,  which 
is  tossed  by  the  waves,  while  his  target,  the  head  of  a 
goose  not  two  inches  square,  is  itself  moving  up  and 
down  on  the  water.  This  method  avoids  tbe  mutila- 
tion of  the  game,  and  adds  to  its  sightly  appearance. 


NEW    SOUTHERN    GUN    CLUB. 

Los  Angeles  sportsmen  seem  to  be  happily  off  for 
good  shooting  preserves.  With  a  number  of  well 
established  clubs  now  enjoying  tbe  shooting  in  that 
district  there  will  be  next  winter  a  new  club  on  the 
Ballona— the  Del  Rey.  C.  A.  Winship,  W.  H.  Stim- 
son,  Henry  W.  Keller,  William  Banning,  J.  W.  A.  Off, 
and  five  others  are  the  members.  The  institution  is 
named  after  Playa  Del  Rey,  and  Mr.  Winship,  who  is 
superintending  the  preliminary  arrangements,  ex- 
pects to  put  some  novel  features  into  operation  when 
the  ponds  are  built.  The  club  has  already  developed 
150  inches  of  pure  water,  and  seems  independent  in 
in  this  regard. 

A  long  sprig  pond,  whose  dimensions  will  be  a  mile 
or  a  mile  and  a  quarter  long  by  several  hundred  yards 
wide,  is  one  of  Mr.  Winship's  original  ideas.  Its 
unique  feature  is  to  be  an  island  thrown  up  in  the 
middle  upon  which  will  be  all  the  blinds.  This  patch 
will  contain  about  an  acre  and  is  to  be  sewed  with 
Egyptian  and  Kaffir  corn  for  the  ducks,  thus  dis- 
pensing with  the  need  of  artificial  feeding. 

There  is  also  considerable  water  on  the  Del  Rey 
grounds,  and  the  birds  bitch  in  there  by  the  thousand. 
Members  of  the  club  feel  very  much  encouraged  at 
the  prospect,  and  think  they  will  have  splendid  sport 
next  winter.  The  preserving  of  this  bit  of  marsh 
completes  the  chain,  and  now  the  birds  will  be  let 
alone  five  days  each  week  throughout  a  space  of  terri- 
tory triangular  in  shape  and  containing  roughly  some 
eight  square  miles.  This  may  reasonably  be  expected 
to  afford  a  considerable  refuge  for  the  wild  fowl,  and 
is  likely  to  make  the  Ballona  good  ducking  ground  as 
long  as  any.

Fox  hunting  as  a  sport  seems  to  be  growing  in 
many  sections  of  this  country  and  has  a  strong  follow- 
ing of  enthusiastic  sportsmen  and  sportswomen.  Fox 
hunters  have  been,  by  an  observing  devotee  of  the 
chase,  divided  into  the  following  classes: 

"There  are  four  kinds  of  fox  hunters.  The  object 
of  the  first  is  to  destroy  the  fox  A  farmer's  boy  with 
a  shotgun  lies  in  ambush  on  a  runway  and  pots  him  as 
he  trots  by.  This  from  the  English  point  of  view,  is 
a  little  worse  than  murder  and  as  bad  as  poaching. 
The  man  who  shoots  foxes  enjoy  an  ignominy,  at  least 
in  the  minds  of  other  hunters,  which  is  unique. 

"Fox  hunters  of  the  second  class  find  their  sport  in 
watching  or  listening  to  native  hounds  trail  a  fox. 
They  go  afield  on  foot,  and  post  themselves  on  high 
grourd  commanding  the  runway.  In  Kentucky  and 
in  parts  of  New  England  that  is  a  deservedly  popuhr 
sport  offering,  as  it  does,  an  opportunity  for  testing 
the  remarkable  nose  of  the  American  hound. 

"In  fox  hunting  of  the  third  kind,  the  object  is  to 
pursue  a  fox  with  hounds  and  to  follow  the  hounds 
across  country  with  horses.  To  meet  fox  hunters  of 
this  category,  the  following  is  the  most  important 
part:  It  requires  horsemanship,  a  good  horse  and 
lasting  enthusiasm  to  ride  well  and   hard  to  hounds. 

"The  fox  hunters  of  the  fourth  class,  to  make  an 
Irish  statement,  do  not  hunt  a  fox  at  all,  but  a  drag; 
nevertheless,  they  ride  to  hounds,  and  this  allies  them 
to  those  who  ride  to  hounds  after  a  wild  fox." 


Annual  Election  ot  Officers. 


The  annual  meetiog  of  the  stockholders  of  the 
Savage  Arms  Company,  TJtica,  N.  Y.,  was  held  on 
January  25th,  and  the  following  officers  were  elected. 
President,  Berj.  Adriance;  Vice-President,  Walter- 
Jerome  Green;  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  J.  DePeyster 
Lynch. 

Mr.  Arthur  W.  Savage  is  no  longer  connected  with 
the  company  in  the  capacity  of  Managing  Director 
and  is  therefore  not  authorized  to  make  anv  trans- 
actions for  the  company. 

An  Eastern    Sportsman  Here. 

Mr.  Claude  H.  Smith,  Secretary  of  the  Ithaca  Gun 
Co.  is  an  enthusiastic  admirer  of  California  and  Cali- 
fornians,  and  he  is  now  in  San  Francisco,  whence  he 
expects  soon  to  make  a  shooting  expedition  with  Mr. 
Phil  B.  Bekeart,  the  Pacific  Coast  representative  of 
the  celebrated  Ithaca  Gun. 

Mr.  Smith  is  an  enthusiastic  sportsman  and  is 
especially  fond  of  yachting.  He  is  the  owner  of  the 
25  footer  "Orphan"  formerly  of  Boston,  now,  for  sev- 
eral seasons,  the  champion  of  the  New  York  Lakes 
Mr.  Smith  always  sails  his  own  boat,  and  is  consider-, 
ed  the  best  skipper  in  Central  New  York. 

After  a  short  stay  in  California,  he  is  expecting  to 
sail  for  Honolulu  in  company  with  Mr.  Frank  Jermyn, 
the  millionaire  horseman  of  Scranton,  Pa. 


A  Runaway  Race. 

In  "hoss  racin"when  one  horse  beats  the  field  so 
badly  as  to  make  explanations  and  excuses  impossible, 
those  versed  in  the  vernacular  of  the  turf  call  it 
"a  runaway  race. "  Sporting  Life's  "Trap  Shooting 
Review  for  1904"  shows  that  the  shooters  who  shot 
Winchester  "Leader"  and  Winchester  "Repeater" 
shotgun  shells  made  "a  runaway  race"  of  the  contest 
for  premier  honors  for  the  year.  Out  of  the  29 
shooters  who  made  90.°oi  or  over,  shooting  at  least 
3000  targets  in  competition  during  the  year,  17  shot 
Winchester  "Leader"  and  "Repeater"  shells.  These 
17  include  Messrs.  Gilbert  and  Crosby,  who  lied  for 
first  professional  average;  Mr.  John  W.  Garrett,  who 
won  first  amateur  average;  C.  B.  Wiggins  and  C.  M. 
Powers,  who  tied  for  second  amateur  average,  and 
nine  of  the  first  thirteen  leaders.  Another  coveted 
honor  won  by  Winchester  shotgun  shells  was  the 
Grand  Prize  at  the  St.  Louis  Exposition,  Winchester 
shells  being  the  only  ones  to  receive  such  an  award. 
These  triumphs  on  the  firing  line  and  in  the  Btrife  of 
international  competition  prove  that  Winchester  shot- 
gun shells  are  in  a  class  all  by  themselves,  and  that 
class  is  the  first.  Those  that  desire  to  be  in  the  first 
class  should  shoot  first  class  shells,  the  kind  that  won 
all  the  honors  in  1904,  as  they  did  in  1900,  1901,  1902 
and  1903.

Farm  Notes. 


A  writer  says:  The  advent  of  the  Tain- 
worth  swine  lhto  the  United  States  makes 
a  new  departure,  if  not  a  new  era  in  the 
swine  industry  of  this  country,  for  the 
Tamworth  is  pre-emineLtly  a  bacon  hog 
aB  against  the  lard-producing  qualities  of 
his  immediate  predecessors.  Though  a 
comparatively  new  breed  on  this  side  ol 
the  Atlantic,  the  Tamworth  has  long  been 
reared  in  England  and  more  recently  u. 
Canada  and  the  Northwest.  He  is  now 
coming  South 

Quick  growing  stock  are  the  moBt 
profitable  because  they  are  ready  for  the 
market  sooner,  and  thus  the  money  is 
turned  more  frequently. 

Few  understand  what  a  balanced  ration 
is.  But  stock  must  be  fed  in  giud  pro- 
portion to  get  the  best  results. 

If  a  colt  gt-ts  stunted  during  the  first 
winter  he  will  hardly  recover  from  it  in 
the  sprin:.  The  only  safe  plan  is  to  keep 
him  under  the  best  conditions  possible 

Hogs  are  not  indecently  filthy  if  they 
have  a  good  chance  to  be  otherwise. 

IE  a  horse  is  nervous  and  fiery,  he  should 
be  calmed  by  frequent  slow  driving 
Fiery  horses  are  never  safe.  It  is  possible 
that  they  should  never  be  used  as  draft 
horses  ;  their  idea  of  doing  things  is  faster 
than  in  a  walk.  Much  trouble  is  caused 
by  using  horses  in  places  to  which  they 
are  not  adapted.  Thus  some  horses  are 
spoiled,  others  work  but  fret  all  the 
time. 

Healthy  conditions  are  such  that  ani- 
mals will  not  need  much  medicine. 

Sows  that  are  kept  too  fat  will  prob- 
ably bring  few  pigs,  and  they  will  not  be 
very  healthy 

Haste  in  .breeding  may  gain  a  few 
months  in  the  coming  of  the  foal,  but  the 
profit  will  be  greater  if  animals  are  not 
bred  too  early. 

Pastures  are  one  of  the  best  and  most 
economical  feeds  for  stock.  In  fact,  much 
of  the  profit  is  taken  away  by  not  having 
Borne  grazing  place. 

Nothing  makesa  better  pasture  for  hogB 
than  alfalfa. 

Pigs  make  their  most  rapid  growth 
when  fed  upon  grain  while  running  in 
pastures. 

When  stock  of  any  kind  has  scours  it  is 
an  indication  that  they  are  getting  som< 
kind  of  food  that  does  not  agree  witl 
them.  Some  change  should  be  made, and 
plenty  of  soft  charcoal  or  ashes  should  be 
put  within  easy  reach. 

Few  feedB  are  more  nourishiog  than 
corn  fodder,  if  it  is  cut  green  aDd  put  in 
condition  for  stock  to  eat.  Bright,  greei 
fodder,  if  shredded  or  cut  fine,  makes  fin« 
food  The  stock  enjoy  the  stalks  as 
much,  or  more,  than  the  leaves,  as  the 
stalks  are  Bweeter. 

The  lambs  that  come  earliest  are  the 
most  profitable,  as  well  as  being  the  most 


trouble.  They  need  warm  quarters,  and 
must  beforced  to  grow.  At  first,  warmth 
is  of  more  importance  than  feed.  Unless 
they  have  the  warmth  they  will  be 
checked  in  growth  and  will  not  be  in 
good  condition  when  the  time  to  market 
arrives.  After  they  get  a  gocd  start  they 
will  be  no  more  trouble,  if  the  mother 
gives  plenty  of  milk. 

Oats  are  an  ideal  grain  food  for  the 
horse.  The  kernel  proper  contains  a 
large  amount  of  the  nutriment.  The 
hulls  surrounding  the  grain  give  the 
material  bulk  that  tends  to  prevent  over- 
feeding and  at  the  same  time  makes  the 
food  light  and  easy  of  digestion  by  the 
duids  of  the  stomach.  Where  horses  are 
iard  worked  one  should  leave  the  oat 
ation  with  a  great  deal  of  caution  and 
earn  by  experience  what  can  t.e  accom- 
plished otherwise. 

As  a  partial  substitute  for  oats,  bran 
and  gluten  feed  may  be  used.  Bran  iB 
light  and  partially  inert  and  takes  the 
place  of  a  small  portion  of  hay.  It  fur- 
nishes the  horsa  probably  three-fifths  or 
three-fourths  as  mnch  nutiiment  as  the 
same  weight  of  oat;.  Oluten  feed  is  con- 
siderably higher  in  protein  and  almost,  or 
quite,  as  rich  in  carbohydrates  as  oats. 
In  changing  feed  reduce  oat  ration  one- 
third,  substituting  mixture  of  bran  and 
gluten  feed  equal  to  oats  by  weight. 

While  corn  can  always  be  fed  to  horses 
with  satisfaction,  there  is  a  limit  to  its 
use,  and  in  ordinary  cases  the  supply 
should  not  be  large.  Allow  two  pounds 
of  corn  to  a  feed  as  a  substitute  for  two 
pounds  of  oats.  Corn  causes  horses  to 
sweat  if  fed  in  very  large  quantities,  and 
is  a  better  winter  than  summer  food. 
Corn  is  a  strong  food  and  is  much  appre- 
ciated by  hard  worked  horses,  because  it 
furnishes  so  much  actual  energy.  A  com- 
bination of  corn  and  oats  will  be  found 
mote  economical  and  much  better  than  to 
feed  either  one  exclusively.  —  Proj.  W.  A 
Henry t  Wisconsin  Agricultural  College. 


Ground  and  Cut  Foods. 


One  may  argue  that  nature  intended 
animals  to  tear  their  food  apart  and 
grind  it  for  themselves.  This  is  so,  be- 
yond doubt,  so  far  as  wild  animals  are 
j  concerned,  but  long  years  of  domesticity 
have  dulled  some  of  the  masticating 
powers  of  the  farm  animal.  This  may 
not  be  good  science,  but  all  who  have 
experimented  intelligently  know  that 
most  farm  animals,  with  the  possible 
exception  of  the  horse,  do  best  when  the 
■ood  is  ground  before  feeding  and  the 
roughage  cut  into  short  lengths. 

The  writer  experimented  with  corn 
stover  along  th's  line  last  winter,  cutting 
the  tender  part  of  the  stalks  into  pieces 
six  or  eight  inches  long  and  the  heavy 
parts  cutting  crosswise  with  a  hatchet. 
In  feeding,  the  mass  was  sometimes  mois- 
ened  with  warm  water  and  then  a  little 
oran  sprinkled  through  it.  A  forkful 
of  nice  clover  hay  was  then  placed  in  one 
corner  of  the  manger  and  this  mass  of 
corn  fodder  in  the  other  corner,  with 
the  result  that  the  corn  fodder  was  in- 


variably eaten  first.  Thi3  to  see  which 
they  preferred;  then,  by  careful  records, 
it  was  found  that  our  grain  ration  could 
be  reduced  20  per  cent  and  the  same  re- 
sults obtained  in  milk  both  as  to  quality 
and  quantity.  We  figured  this  paid  for 
the  labor  in  preparing  the  cut  fodder.

Age  to  Feed  Cattle. 


Hazel  Kinney  2;0D£ 


It  requires  ?bout  one-half  as  much  grain 
to  produce  a  hundred  pounds  of  gain  on 
calves  as  on  two  year-olds.  The  woik  of 
the  Missouri  Agricultural  College  has 
definitely  demonstrated  that  the  most 
profitable  age  to  fatten  cattle  is  while 
they  are  still  young.  The  older  the  ani- 
mal the  more  food  is  required  to  produce 
a  given  gain.  Other  stationB  have  also 
investigated  this  question  and  have  ar* 
rived  at  the  same  result. 

The  Central  Experiment  Station  Farm 
at  Ottawa,  Canada,  found   by  comparing 


Feeding  Barley  Pulp. 


Assemblyman  Atkinson  of  San  Francis- 
co has  introduced  in  the  legislature,  un- 
der the  "pure  food"  classification,  a  bill 
which  is  designed  to  stop  the  feeding  of 
barley  pulp  to  milch  cows. 

The  bill  proposes  to  amend  section  382 
of  the  penal  code,  relating  to  the  adulter- 
ation clause:  "Every  person  who  feeds 
his  cow,  or  cows  with  refuse  grain  from  a 
brewery  or  any  malt  house,  after  the 
same  had  been  used  in  the  manufacture 
of  beer,  ale  or  malt,  and  offers  for  sale  for 
human  consumption,  and  milk,  butter  or 
cheese,  which  is  a  product  from  such  cow 
or  cows,  is  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor." 

It  is  a  well  known  fact  .that  many  of 
the  dairymen  of  San  Francisco  purchase 
the  Larley  pulp  thrown  out  by  the  San 
Francisco  breweries  and  use  it  as  fodder 
for  their  cattle.  The  arrangement  is 
satisfactory  to  both  them  and  the  brew- 
ers, and   the  trade   in   this  class   of  food

one  thousand  pounds  live  weight  in  the 
case  of  calves,  yearlings,  two  and  three- 
year-olds,  that  the  profit  for  each  one 
thousand  pounds  was: 

For  calves $31  00 

For  yearlings  27  00 

For  two-year-olds 19  10 

For  iheee-year-olds 12  80 

When  all  of  the  cattle  of  all  ages  were 
purchased  at  4  cents  a  pound  and  sold  fat 
at  5  centB  a  pound,  the  profit  on  $1000  in- 
vested in  feeding  cattle  was: 

For  calves $557  50 

For  yearlings ~'S4  00 

For  two-year-olds J 98  75 

For  three- year- olds 17^  50 

Nine-tenths  of  all  the  cattle  fed  in  the 
Middle  West  are  two-year-olds  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  feeding  period.  When 
these  cattle  are  in  thin  condition  at  the 
beginning  of  the  experiment,  they  are 
often  fed  with  profit;  but  starting  with 
calves  in  the  same  condition  it  is  unques- 
tionably true  that  calves  return  more 
profit  for  each  thousand  dollars  invested 
than  older  cattle. — F.  B.  Mumford. 

Feeding  Hogs  Under  Cattle. 

The  practice  of  feeding  hogs  under 
cattle  is  doubtless  profitable,  and,  while 
we  would  not  condemn  the  practice,  we  | 
think  every  one  so  engaged  should,  in  1 
consideration  of  the  consumer,  feed  them 
on  a  clean  ration  of  corn  for  awhile  before 
consigning  them  to  the  butcher.  Meat 
is  undoubtedly  tainted  to  some  extent  by 
filthy  food,  and  nature  should  be  given  an 
opportunity  loclean  up. — Farmer's  Advo- 
cate.

Succulent  feed  increase  the  flow  of  milk

runs  up,  in  the   aggregate,  to  many  thou- 
sands of  dollars  annually. 

So  far  as  known  there  has  never  been 
any  complaint  against  the  practice. 
Many  persons  acquainted  with  the  sub- 
ect  say  that  the  grain  pulp  could  not 
possibly  injure  cattle  unless  it  had  passed 
into  a  ttate  of  fermentation,  and  they  add 
that  cattle  will  not  eat  it  after  it  has  fer- 
mented. It  is  pointed  out  that  many 
farmers  use  large  quantities  of  beet  pulp 
thrown  out  of  the  sugar  factories,  and 
that  their  cattle  thrive  exceedingly  well 
upon  it. —  Watsonville  Paiaionian. 


Butter  as  food  is  worth  ten  to  fifteen 
cents  a  pound  and  the  other  ten  or  fifteen 
cents  is  the  tribute  for  cleanliness,  pains- 
taking and  careful  attention  and  exact- 
ness.    It  pays  to  go  after  the  tribute. 


There  may  be  a  look  of  sentimentality 
in  donniDg  a  clean,  white  milking  suit  be- 
fore doing  the  milking,  but  there  are 
greater  evidences  of  cleanly  intent  in  ap- 
pearances and  that  goes  a  long  ways  in 
creating  the  value  of  any  commodity  we 
consume.

Lewis  &  Clark  Exposition   Nearing 
Completion. 

[By  Prank  L.  Herrlck.] 

Portland,  Jan.  25,  1905— Work  on  the 
grounds  and  buildings  of  the  Lewis  A 
Clark  Exposition,  which  will  be  held  at 
Portland,  Oregon,  this  summer,  opening 
June  1  and  closing  October  15,  is  progress- 
ing rapidly.  Eight  exhibit  buildings 
have  been  completed  and  the  installation 
ol  exhibits  begun,  while  the  remaining 
structures  are  nearing  the  stage  where 
the  finishing  touches  w:il  be  applied. 
The  mild  Oregon  winter  has  permitted 
the  work  to  progress  without  an  interrup- 
tion and  when  the  President  presses  the 
button  on  opening  day  everything  will  be 
ready  and  waiting — something  unusual  in 
expositions. 

Not  only  are  the  buildings  far  advanced, 
but  the  landscape  picture  also.  The  grass 
is  green  and  roses  bloom  in  the  open  air 
all  the  year  round  in  Portland.  Thousands 
of  rose  bushes  have  been  set  out  on  the 
lawns  and  terraces  and  these,  Kept  fresh 
by  the  winter  rains— Oregon  knows  no 
frost  biteB  or  sun  strokes — are  awaiting 
the  spring  sunshine  to  bring  forth  a  riot 
of  color. 

The  Lewis  &  Clark  Exposition  although 
not  so  large  as  other  expositions,  will  be 
a  world's  fair  in  every  sense,  reflecting 
the  progress  of  all  participating  nations, 
and  particularly  of  Western  America.  It 
will  be  quite  unlike  its  predecessors  in 
that  it  will  combine  with  its  broad  scope 
the  idea  of  compactness  without  crowding 
in  the  laying  out  of  the  grounds  and  the 
housing  of  the  exhibits.  There  will  be 
no  dreariness  of  architecture  to  tire  the 
eye,  no  miles  of  aisles  to  weary  the  limbs. 
All  will  he  perfection,  or  at  least  the 
nearest  thereto  ever  achieved  by  an  ex- 
position. 

The  Centennial,  which  is  the  first  in- 
ternational exposition  ever  held  under 
the  patronage  of  the  United  StateB  Gov- 
ernment west  of  the  Rocky  Mountains, 
will  celebrate  the  100th  anniversity  of  the 
exploration  of  the  Oregon  Country  by  an 
expedition  commanded  by  Captains  Meri- 
wether Lewis  and  William  Clark,  and 
planned  by  President  Jefferson.  The 
sentiment  which  inspires  the  people  of 
the  Pacific  Northwest  in  the  preparation 
of  tl-is  exposition  is  one  in  which  every 
American  must  share.  The  result  of  this 
expedition  is  one  in  which  every  American 
must  share.  The  result  of  this  expedition 
the  acquisition  of  the  great  Oregon 
Country  by  right  of  discovery,  extended 
our  frontier  to  the  Pacific  Ocean,  adding 
a  vast  and  rich  territory  to  our  domain. 
It  was  one  of  the  direct  causes  of  the  ac- 
quisition of  California  and  the  subse- 
quent acquisitions  of  Alaska,  Hawaii, 
Guam  and  the  Philippines  are  related  to 
it.

the  superb  view  to  be  had  from  it,  coupled 
with  the  artistic  grace  of  the  buildings  in 
the  style  of  the  Spanish  Renaissance,  will 
be  an  agreeable  surprise  to  all  visitorB. 
Nestling  at  the  baBe  of  the  foothills  of  the 
Cascade  Range,  on  the  gentle  slopes  and 
terraces  overlooking  the  Williamette 
river,  with  an  unobstructed  view  of  65 
miles  which  embraces  the  snow-capped 
peak  of  Mt.  Hood  and  Mt.  St.  Helena. 
The  sight  presents  a  picture  entirely 
original  in  exposition  building. 

Of  the  groBB  area  of  the  Bite,  180  acres 
are  on  the  mainland  and  60  acres  form  a 
peninsula  extending  out  from  Guild's 
Lake,  a  fresh  water  body  220  acres  in  ex- 
tent and  the  largest  mere  ever  enclosed 
within  an  exposition  fence,  which  is  sep- 
arated from  the  Williamette  river  by  a 
narrow  strip  of  land.  The  exposition 
grounds  are  made  up  of  hill  and  dale,  and 
in  one  portion  a  natural  park  of  trees  and 
shrubs  affords  an  opportunity  for  land- 
scape work  of  a  most  attractive  character. 
In  the  arrangement  of  the  buildingB 
thorough  consideration  has  been  given  to 
the  convenience  of  visitorB  and  the  attain 
ment  of  a  rich  and  beautiful  architect- 
ural effect.  The  main  group  of  exhibit 
palaces  consisting  of  eight  structures,  oc- 
cupies the  ground  bordering  on  the  lake, 
and  forms  nearly  a  straight  line  with 
their  short  sides  facing  the  water.  Around 
these  structures  on  the  outer  edge,  cluster 
the  state,  territorial  and  other  minor 
pavilions.  The  administration  building 
in  which  the  executive  offices  of  the  Fair 
are  located,  standB  at  one  end  of  the 
ornate  colonnade  entrance,  the  main  gate- 
way to  the  grounds. 

On  the  peninsula  in  the  center  of  Guild's 
Lake  is  located  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment displav.  Here  an  imposing  Govern- 
ment building  with  two  towers  each  260 
feet  high,  is  in  course  of  construction. 
Besides  the  main  building  there  are 
several  minor  structures,  among  them 
being  the  Forestry,  Fisheries  und  Irriga- 
tion pavilions  and  the  Life  Saving  Station. 

All  the  main  exposition  structures  are 
in  the  Btyle  of  the  Spanish  Renaissance 
except  the  Forestry  building  which  is  a 
true  American  type,  being  constructed  of 
huge  logs  in  their  virgin  state,  thus  ex- 
emplifying in  itB  composition  the  timber 
resources  of  the  Columbia  river  region. 
The  structure  is  200  feet  in  length  by  102 
feet  in  width  and  itB  extreme  height  is  70 
feet.  In  itB  construction  two  miles  of  five 
and  six  foot  fir  logs,  eight  miles  of  poles 
and  tons  of  shakes  and  cedar  shingleB 
were  used. 

The  central  features  of  the  Exposition 
are  Columbia  Court  and  Lakeview  Terrace 
These  two  spots  have  been  made  the 
object  of  elaborate  embellishment.  The 
former  is  situated  between  the  Agriculture 
and  the  European  exhibits  buildings  and 
consists  of  two  wide  avenues,  between 
which  are  spacious  Bunken  gardens. 
Lakeview  Terrace  is  located  on  the  slop- 
ing ground  leading  down  to  the  lake  and 
here  is  the  Grand  Stairway,  flanked  on 
either  side  with  flower  beds  and  beautiful 
lawns. 

The  "Trail,"  which  is  the  gaiety  boule- 
vard of  the  Centennial,  corresponding  to 
the  Pike  at  St.  Louis  and  the  midways  of 
other  expositions  has  an  entirely  original 
environment  for  this  feature  of  a  world'B 
fair.  It  is  situated  upon  an  ornate  bridge 
which  spans  the  lake  and  connects  the 
mainland  with  the  peninsula.  With  the 
unrivaled  water  facilities  thus  offered 
much  attention  will  be  directed  to  con- 
cessions for  aquatic  features. 

The  railroads  have  made  exceptionally 
low  rates  to  Portland  from  the  WeBtern 
World'B  Fair  and  many  people  in  the  East 
and  Middle  West  are  expected  to  take 
advantage  of  them  to  see  the  great  Pacific 
Northwest. 


Modern    Dairy  Methods. 


Read  the  manufacturers'  directions  for 
using  tbe  incubator.  It's  to  his  interest 
to  tell  you  the  best  he  knows. 


A  ditch  around  the  coop  may  save  a  lot 
of  young  chicks.  Dryness  is  to  be  con- 
sidered in  poultry  raising. 


Generally  speaking,  there  is  almost  an 
entire  lack  of  facilities  for  holding  cream 
on  the  western  farm.  The  majority  of 
farms  have  wind  pumps  at  or  near  the 
house.  The  pump  furnishes  an  excellent 
location  for  an  ideal  milk  house.  On  many 
farms  viBited  the  owner  had  built  around 
tbe  windmill  tower  or  at  one  side  of  it  a 
building,  UBually  6  by  8  feet,  in  which  was 
placed  a  tank  deep  enough  to  Bet  the 
milk  cans  and  have  water  come  up  to  their 
necks.  All  of  the  water  pumped  for 
stock  and  other  purposes  of  the  farm  is 
run  through  the  tank  and  then  out  into 
the  stock  tank.  This  room  often  contains 
tbe  separator  and  a  work  table.  In  fact, 
here  ie  done  the  dairy  work  of  the  farm. 
With  an  arrangement  of  this  kind  and  a 
good  thermometer  the  cream  should  be 
kept  without  difficulty  from  forty-eight 
to  seventy-two  hours  in  the  hottest 
weather.  Such  a  building"  costs  but  little 
and  the  convenience  of  having  a  place  for 
the  milk,  cream  and  dairy  utensils  is  in 
itself  enough  to  justify  the  expense  of 
building  it.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the 
farmer  who  is  going  to  get  the  best  price 
for  his  cream  will  have  to  provide  himself 
with  a  place  to  keep  it  cool  until  it  can  be 
delivered  to  the  Btation.  Keep  it  just  as 
cool  as  is  possible  without  freezing  up  to 
the  time  it  is  delivered. 

There  are  some  points  besides  the  im- 
mediate cooling  and  holding  at  a  cool 
temperature  that  must  be  observed  in 
order  to  insure  good  cream.  The  different 
skimmings  of  cream  should  never  be 
mixed  until  both  are  of  the  same  tem- 
perature. The  cream  when  cooled  down 
keeps  fairly  well,  but  if  some  warm  cream 
should  be  mixed  with  it  the  temperature 
will  be  raised.  At  once  the  germ  life  be- 
comes more  active,  and  souring  takes 
place  very  quickly.  No  vegetables  or 
other  produce  having  strong  odors  should 
be  kept  in  the  same  room  with  the  cream. 
It  takes  such  odors  very  readily  and  re- 
tains them  tenaciously.  In  fact,  keep  the 
milk  room  for  milk  and  nothing  else  and, 
above  all,  have  plenty  of  windows  to  admit 
sunshine  when  wanted  and  use  plenty  of 
"elbow  grease"  in  keeping  it  sweet  and 
clean. 

In  many  instances  all  the  good  work 
done  is  entirely  spoiled  because  the  cream 
is  not  cared  for  in  delivery.  The  writer 
has  observed  many  thousand  cans  in 
proceBB  of  delivery,  and  in  nearly  99  per 
cent  of  them  the  work  was  done  in  such 
a  manner  as  to  damage  the  cream.  For 
some  reason,  probably  through  lack  of 
better  information  on  tbe  part  of  the 
person  delivering  the  cream  and  also  on 
the  part  of  tbe  man  receiving  it,  the 
cream  was  handled  as  though  no  damage 
could  come  to  it  after  it  was  taken  away 
from  the  farm.  It  mattered  not  whether 
the  heat  of  the  summer's  sun  or  the  cold 
blast  of  the  winter's  storm  was  on,  the 
can  of  cream  was  exposed  to  it  all.  With- 
draw the  lid  of  a  can  of  cream  that  has 
been  expose  to  the  heat  for  one  or  more 
hourB,  and  the  first  whiff  is  a  sour  one. 
The  cream  will  be  found  to  be  several 
degrees  warmer  than  when  taken  from 
the  water  tank  at  the  farm. 

It  iB  a  Bimple  thing  to  cover  the  cream 
can  with  a  wet  sack  or  blanket  and  throw 
over  this  a  dry  one,  which  will  effectually 
stop  the  mischief.  With  this  precaution 
the  cream  will  arrive  at  the  station  as 
cool  as  when  taken  from  the  farm.  The 
same  precaution,  except  that  the  blanket 
should  be  kept  dry,  is  a  sure  protection 
against  freezing  in  winter. 


An  ointment  of  one  part  kerosene  and 
two  parts  of  lard  is  recommended  by  some 
breeders  for  Bcaly  leg. 


Coops    containing    broods    of     chicks 
should  be  moved  frequently. 


Poor  or  musty  grain  isn't  the  cheapest 
for  poultry  even  though  it  coBts  leBS  than 
the  other  kind. 


Too  much  poultry  iB  hard  to  get  on  a 
farm  where  there  is  plenty  of  open  range. 
o 

The  best  incubator  made  won't  run 
itself. 


Any  standard   breed  of  poultry  is  good 
if  you  like  it.

An  Original   Idea    About   Dairying. 

Several  years  ago  a  man  of  my  acquaint- 
ance decided  to  go  into  the  dairy  business 
quite  extensively  and  took  a  novel  way  of 
getting  a  herd  of  good  milch  cows  It  is 
often  said,  you  know,  that  it  is  impossible 
to  buy  a  good  cow.  He  went  to  eveiy 
auction  sale  held  within  fifty  miles  of  his 
home  and  found  out  from  the  owner  which 
were  the  best  cows  in  his  herd.  Then, 
when  they  were  sold,  he  was  prepared  to 
bid  a  trifle  higher  than  aDy  other  man 
and  thus  secure  the  best  cow  or  cows. 
Within  a  short  time  he  got  a  herd  of  forty 
cows  that  were  the  best  in  the  entire 
community,  judging  from  the  amount  of 
milk  which  they  gave. 

Another  way,  although  not  quite  as 
rapid,  is  to  purchase  at  an  auction  sale 
the  calves  and  yearling  heifers  and  take 
the  chances  that  such  calves  are  from  the 
best  cows.  In  a  few  years  a  herd  of 
splendid  cows  may  be  built  up  and  the 
expense  will  not  be  excessive.  Within 
the  last  ten  years  or  so  experiments  have 
been  carried  on  at  the  different  stations 
to  determine  the  coBt  of  keeping  a  milk 
cow  for  a  year  and  it  has  varied  all  the 
way  from  $30  to  $60.  It  all  depends  on 
bow  the  figures  were  kept  and  whether 
the  price  of  the  hired  help  was  figured 
into  the  account  In  one  experiment  it 
was  claimed  that  butter  could  be  made  as 
low  as  eight  cents  a  pound.  This  was  one 
of  the  caBes  where  the  manure  was  taken 
for  the  help's  pay  and  the  price  of  mak- 
ing the  butter  was  left  out  entirely.  This 
should  have  been  added  certainly  and 
would  have  made  it  from  two  to  four 
cents  a  pound  higher  at  least 

I  never  knew  of  but  one  instance  where 
a  man  tried  the  experiment  of  buying 
everything  at  the  market  price  of  feed  and 
selling  his  butter  at  the  prevailing  butter 
prices  and  he  found  it  impossible  to  make 
any  money  at  the  business  and  butter  was 
never  as  low  as  eightcents  a  pound  either. 
But  one  icicle  does  not  make  a  winter  in 
thiB  country  and  one  experiment  does  not 
prove  much,  especially  with  a  cow  and  if 
there  was  as  large  a  margin  of  profit 
in  dairying  as  Borne  of  theBe  experiment 
stations  claim  it  would  seem  aB  if  there 
would  be  plenty  of  people  who  would  go 
into  the  business  even  if  they  did  have  to 
buy  everything  they  fed  their  cows  at 
market  prices  and  take  the  prevailing  rate 
fo  butter.  The  facts  are  that  aa  few  if  any 
people  practice  this  method  it  proves  most 
conclusively  that  a  great  many  of  these 
experiments  have  little  value  attached  to 
them. 

But  here  is  an  example  of  the  highest 
excellence  in  dairy  farming  which  I  be 
lieve  will  hold  true  every  time  and  that 
iB  that  at  the  present  so  many  men  with 
plenty  of  money  are  engaged  in  the  dairy 
business  that  if  a  dairyman,  large  or 
small,  is  only  possessed  of  the  ability  to 
raise  a  herd  of  dairy  cows  of  high  excel 
lence  he  will  have  no  trouble  in  selling 
the  calves  from  these  cows  for  far  more 
money  than  he  will  be  able  to  obtain  for 
the  butter  these  cows  will  make  during 
a  year  and  not  only  sell  them  for  higher 
priceB,  but  will  in  a  great  many  cases  be 
able  to  sell  the  calveB  in  advance  of  their 
birth.  If  there  is  any  other  industry 
where  ability  is  better  remunerated  than 
the  dairy  business  I  have  failed  to  dis- 
cover it  as  yet. — A.  C.  Stiles  in  Field  and 
Fancy. 

If  you  are  "trading"  your  farm  male 
butter  at  the  grocery  store  for  coffee, 
sugar  and  tobacco,  you  are  encouraging 
the  manufacture  of  "renovated"  or 
"process"  butter,  which  you  pretend  to 
despise  and  hold  up  as  a  thorn  in  the 
path  of  dairy  butter.  Don't  encourage 
the  industry  by  making  butter  of  such  a 
grade  that  the  only  demand  and  market 
for  it  is  at  your  grocers.  If  you  can't 
make  a  grade  of  butter  that  you  can  con- 
tract in  advance  to  the  consumer,  you 
had  better  read  up  a  little  more  on  dairy- 
ing and  subscribe  for  a  few  dairy  papers.

CAMPBELL'S 


FOOT  REMEDY    best"  Star 

EVER  USED  ON  HORSES'  FEET. 

IT  PENETRATES  and  DRIES  IN  quickly  and  DOES 
NOT  GUM  and  PILL  UP  THE  PORES  like  tar  and  oil 
oorapounds.  It  is  the  GREATEST  REMEDY  ever  used  to 
remove  SORENESS  and  FEVER  from  the  foot,  and  makes  it 
possible  to  get  good  services  out  of  a  horse  working  on  hard 
and  hot  pavements. 

It  gives  natural  nourishment  to  the  foot  and  incites  a 
rapid,  healthy  growth— ALL  DRYNESS  AND  BRITTLE- 
NESS  quickly  disappears. 

QUARTER  CRACKS  and  SAND  CRACKS  are  rapidly 
grown  out  when  directions  given  in  our  booklet  are  followed. 

It  is  a  SURE  CURE  for  CORNS,  CONTRACTED  FEET 
and  NAIL  WOUNDS  if  directions  are  followed. 

It  PRESENTS  SOUND  FEET  FROM  BECOMING  UN- 
SOUND and  GROWS  a  TOUGH.  STRONG.  ELASTICWALL 
and  HEALTHY  FROG— A  FOOT  WHICH  WILL  STAND 
WORK  on  race  courses. 

Many  of  the  best  owners  and  trainers  state  that  for  track 
work  nothing  equals  it.  In  many  cases  horses  have  reduced 
their  records  several  seconds,  due  to  its  use. 

It  Is  a  CER'l  AIN  CURE  for  THRUSH  and  SCRATCHES 

We  Guarantee  Thai  It  Will  Do  What  We  Claim 
and  Will  Refund  Money  if  It  Palls. 

PRICES:— Quarts,   $100;    Half-Gallon,  81.75;    Gallon,    $3  00. 
2V4-GSallon,  $5.50;  Five-Gallon,  $10.00. 

Books  giving  full  directions  for  Its  use  and  much  valuable  information  as  to  shoeing  are  supplied 
free. 

Don't  fail  to  read  "ad."  giving  information  concerning  Campbell's  Iodoform  Gall  Cure  In  nest 
issue  of  this  paper.    It  Is  the  best  and  because  of  its  merits  is  rapidly  displacing  all  others.

THE  AMERICAN  THOROUGHBRED,  Capt.  Tom 
Merry '8  book,  is  out,  and  we  acknowledge  receipt 
of  a  copy.  No  writer  on  thoroughbred  topics  has 
had  so  many  readers  during  the  past  thirty  years  as 
"Hidalgo,"  (Capt.  Merry's  nom-de-plume),  and  the 
bare  statement  of  the  fact  that  he  has  compiled  and 
published  a  work  in  his  70th  year  that  contains  mat- 
ter that  he  has  not  heretofore  given  to  the  public, 
written  in  that  entertaining  conversational  style 
that  has  made  him  80  popular,  should  induce  levery 
person  interested  in  the  breeding  of  the  thoroughbred 
horse  to  secure  a  copy  at  once.  As  the  author  says  in 
his  preface,  "the  book  is  written  for  tbe  perusal  of 
plain  men;  it  deals  with  plain  and  stubborn 
facts;  and  for  that  reason  is  couched  in 
the  plainest  language  possible."  And  this  is 
what  makes  the  work  valuable  and  will  doubt- 
less lead  to  a  large  Bale.  It  contains  chapters 
on  the  origin  of  the  thoroughbred,  the  three  cardinal 
lines  of  Herod,  Matchem  and  Eclipse,  the  British,  the 
American,  the  Austro-Hungarian  and  the  Australian 
thoroughbreds.  There  arechapters  also  on  theBruce 
Lowe  figure  system  of  breeding,  converse  in-breeding, 
two-year  old  racing,  selling  races,  spurious  pedigrees, 
and  a  heart-to-heart  talk  with  breeders  that  should 
be  read  by  every  owner  of  a  thoroughbred  mare,  and 
which  is  worth  the  price  of  the  whole  book.  Capt. 
Merry  is  a  man  of  original  ideas.  As  a  student  of 
thoroughbred  breeding  for  the  past  forty  y  ears,  l.e 
has  heard  all  sorts  of  theories  ana  witnessed  all  sorts 
of  experiments.  He  has  been  a  close  observer  and 
being  one  of  those  broad-minded  men  who  can  follow 
truth  where'er  it  leads,  is  now  able  to  "sift  the  grain 
from  the  chaff"  and  "hold  fast  to  that  which  is  good." 
No  man  of  his  years  has  a  brighter  or  more  active 
mind,  and  this  last  work  of  his  ever  busy  pen  is  its 
best.  The  book  is  handsomely  printed  and  bound, 
and  is  for  sale  at  $5  per  copy. 


WOODLAND  STOCK  FARM  presents  the  adver- 
tisements of  it 3  two  stallions  Nushagak  and 
Prince  Ansel  in  our  business  columns  this  week  and 
the  statements  therein  made,  which  are  true  in  every 
particular,  tell  the  facts  about  these  two  stallions 
more  concisely  and  better  than  can  be  told  in  the 
average  newspaper  article.  The  picture  of  Nushagak 
which  appears  on  our  front  page  this  issue  is  an  excel- 
lent likeness  of  this  young  sire  whose  get  are  becom- 
ing very  popular  with  breeders  who  desire  race- 
horse qualities  in  their  colts.  Mr.  Alex  Brown  who 
purchased  the  Woodland  race  track  last  year  and  has 
established  thereon  the  Woodland  Stoci  Farm,  is 
one  of  the  leading  harness  horse  breeders  of  California 
and  an  enterprising  and  progressive  citizen  who  has 
already  made  many  improvements  on  his  new  prop, 
erty  and  will  make  many  more.  One  of  the  big  meet- 
ings on  the  circuit  will  be  held  at  the  Woodland  track 
this  year  and  visitors  will  have  a  chance  to  see  for 
themselves  what  a  splendid  breeding  farm  Mr.  Brown 
has  established  near  tbe  shire  town  of  Yolo  county. 


'THE  PROOF  POSITIVE  that  horse  values  so  far 
as  the  light  harness  breed  is  concerned,  are  not 
falling  off  any,  is  the  record  of  the  Fasig-Tipton  Mid- 
winter sale  which  closed  at  New  York  last  Friday. 
More  than  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars  was  realized 
from  the  five  days' sale.  In  all  576  head  of  horses 
was  disposed  of,  bringing  a  grand  total  of  $254,560. 
This  exceeds  in  value  all  previous  midwinter  sales,  the 
best  former  midwinter  sale  being  the  one  in  1902i 
when  $222,255  was  realized.  The  average  price  per 
head  during  the  recent  sale  was  1442.  The  chief  at- 
traction of  the  sale  was  the  big  consignment  from 
Village  Farm,  the  greatest  breeding  farm  ever  estab- 
lished and  which  has  now  become  a  thing  of  the  past' 
owing  to  the  extreme  old  age  and  disability  of  itB 
founder,  Mr.  Cicero  Hamlin,  who  is  without  doubt 
the  most  successful  of  all  trotting  horse  breeders. 
The  153  trott'ng  bred  horses  consigned  by  this  farm 
to  the  sale  brought  a  total  of  $127,660,  an  average  of 
$834.39  per  head. 


A  PROGRAM  of  the  purses  and  races  to  be  offered 
**•  this  year  by  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse 
Breeders  Association  for  its  regular  meeting  is  being 
prepared  and  will  be  published  soon.  If  it  is  necessary 
to  complete  the  California  circuit,  tbe  Breeders  Asso- 
ciation will  give  an  extra  meeting  as  it  did  last  year, 
but  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  there  will  be  local  meetingB 
sufficient  to  make  a  circuit  of  racing  without  this. 
Pleasanton  will  give  a  good  meeting  and  Santa  Rosa 
and  Woodland  will  be  in  line.  This  with  the  Breeders 
meeting  will  give  four  weeks  of  racing  for  good  purses 
and  the  probability  is  that  three  or  four  additional 
towns  will  come  in  the  circuit.  If  the  State  Agri- 
eultur  il  Society  gets  its  appropriation  from  the  Legis- 
lature it  will  hold  a  fair  and  race  meeting,  but  other- 
wise some  arrangements  will  have  to  be  made  to  trot 
the  Occident  and  Stanford  Stakes  o'  1905  elsewhere. 


THE  twenty-second  report  of  the  Agricultural  Ex- 
*  periment  Station  of  the  University  of  California 
has  been  received  It  contains  interesting  reporls 
from  all  the  staff  of  the  Experiment  Station,  which 
are  most  interesting.

Talking  about  hor~e  values,  here  is  evidence  that 
they  are  pretty  good  in  California  at  the  present  time. 
Mr.  Jerry  Doran,  the  well  known  hay,  grain  and  coal 
dealer,  whose  place  of  business  is  at  the  corner  of 
Market  street  and  San  Pablo  avenue  in  Oakland, 
wants  to  trade  a  quarter  section  of  land  for  a  good 
youDg  horse.  This  160  acres  is  rolling  land,  situated 
on  a  good  county  road,  nine  miles  from  the  railroad 
station  of  San  Miguel  in  Monterey  county.  He  ex- 
pects to  harvest  two  tons  of  hay  to  the  acre  from  125 
acres  of  It  this  Eeason  and  tbe  land  is  probably  worth 
$2000.  Mr.  Doran  says  he  naturally  wants  to  get  a 
good  horse  for  this  land,  and  that  he  prefers  a  well 
bred  McKinney.  There  are  no  improvements  on  the 
land,  not  even  a  fence,  but  the  most  of  it  is  tillable. 


Among  the  bunch  of  Axworthy  youngsters  that 
Millard  Sanders  has  at  Memphis  is  mentioned  Bale 
Axworthy,  who  is  out  of  the  dam  of  Laurel's  (2.13), 
etc.,  that  can  step  to  beat  the  band.  Another  lively 
youngster  by  Axworthy  is  the  one  out  of  Octavia 
(2.184),  the  well-known  Baron  Wilkes  mare  that 
raced  around  here  a  number  of  years  past.  This  one 
is  a  filly  and  is  called  Octavia  Worthy.  She  has  been 
nice-named  Dromey  Worthy  from  the  fact  that  Bhe 
has  a  back  that  somewhat  resembles  a  camel's  back. 
Some  one  was  poking  fun  at  her  when  Millard  Sand- 
ers remarked  that  she  was  likely  to  make  some  of 
them  hump  when  shegot  to  the  races. — Horse  Breeder. 


Tbe  boarding,  training  and  handling  stable  which 
J.  W.  Zibbell  &  Son  have  recently  opened  on  11th 
avenue,  near  the  Chutes,  is  being  well  patronized, 
Messrs.  Zibbell  desire  to  purchase  several  good 
prospects  for  the  circuit  this  year.  They  want  pro- 
spective 2:15  trotters  and  2:10  paceis,  and  will  pay 
reasonable  prices  for  horses  that  fill  the  bill. 


Answers  to  Correspondents. 

F.  A.  CUMMINGS,  Walnut  Creek— Sidney  2:19J  hsd 
up  to  the  close  of  the  year  1904,  sixty-one  trotters  and 
forty-three  pacers  with  records  of  2:30  or  better. 
AUamont,  wagon  record  2:26J.  has  thirty-four  trotters 
and  twenty  pacers  with  standard  records. 


William  Clakk,  Medford,  Oregon— Princess  Dex- 
ter, registered  page  679,  volumo  13,  American  Trot- 
ting Register,  is  by  Dexter  Prince  11363,  dam  Wilkes 
Queen  by  Mambrino  Wilkes  6083,  second  dam  Lady 
Stone  by  David  Hill  857,  third  dam  Madame  by  Jack 
Hawkins.  Princess  Dexter  was  bred  by  L  D.  Wake- 
field of  Lodi,  Cal.,  and  sold  with  her  dam,  to  the  late 
Dr.  H.  Latham  of  Oakland.  Princess  Dexter  waB  sold 
by  Dr.  Latham  prior  to  1895,  to  Thos.  S.  Harrison  of 
Pomfret,  Conn.  We  do  not  know  whether  Mr.  Harri. 
son  still  owns  her,  nor  who  owns  Wilkes  Queen.  If 
living  the  latter  is  twenty-four  years  old. 

Constant  Reader,  Sacramento— No  one  can 
advise  you  intelligently  without  seeing  your  colt.  A 
long  distance  diagnosis  of  any  case  is  of  little  value. 
Better  pay  some  reputable  trainer  to  handle  the  colt 
for  a  while  if  you  do  not  know  why  he  is  n  ot  good 
gtited.  

J.  J.  McGRATH,  Marysville— Consult  your  local 
merchant  in  regard  to  buying  a  Babcock  tester.  They 
cost  all  the  way  from  $5  up.  Any  person  of  average 
intelligence  can  use  them. 


The  two  members  of  the  Gentleman's  Driving  Club 
of  Cleveland,  H.  K.  Devereux  and  C.  K.  G.  Billings, 
have  fallen  so  deeply  in  love  with  trotting  to  saddle 
that  this  branch  of  the  sport  will  be  a  feature  of  the 
matinee  racing  at  Cleveland  next  summer,  says  an  ex- 
change. At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  club  these  men 
set  forth  the  healthful  and  pleasurable  advantage  of 
riding  trotters  so  strongly  that  it  is  reported  that 
twenty  members  pledged  themselves  to  secure  a  fast 
trotter  to  be  used  in  saddle  races.  The  horses  will  be 
turned  over  to  the  club  and  will  be  trained  and  kept 
in  condition  for  racing.  Saddle  races  will  appear  on 
each  matinee  program,  and  such  members  ae  desire 
to  ride  in  them  will  draw  for  horses,  the  drawing  to 
be  confined  to  the  twenty  horses  to  be  purchased  for 
the  saddle  racing.  There  is  no  doubt  but  that  this 
movement  on  the  part  of  the  Cleveland  amateurs  will 
do  much  to  make  saddle  trotting  popular,  in  an  ama- 
teur sense,  but  it  will  probably  not  have  much  effect 
in  the  professional  field 


Seventeen  of  the  new  standard  performers  of  1904 
were  out  of  Nutwood  mares,  a  greater  number  than 
are  credited  to  the  daughters  of  any  otter  stallion. 
The  Nutwood  cross  is  a  valuable  one  and  as  the  years 
go  by  it  is  becoming  more  and  more  valuable.  Nut- 
wood's grand-dam  was  the  thoroughbred  mare,  Sally 
Russell  by  Boston  and  delvers  into  statistics  have 
found  that  thoroughbred  mares  have  founded  some  of 
our  best  trotting  and  pacirg  families. 

Among  the  nominations  on  which  second  payment 
was  made  on  the  1st  of  February  was  the  mare  AI- 
fretta  owned  by  Mr.  C.  F.  White  of  Cosmopoli--, 
Wash.  This  mare  is  a  full  sister  to  Chainshot  2:06S 
being  by  Red  Heart  out  of  Pique,  dam  of  four  in  the 
list.  Algretta  is  now  at  Walnut  Hill  Farm  in  Ken- 
tucky, where  she  was  bred  to  Moko  last  year  and  is 
with  foal. 

Revolutionary  riots  and  enormous  expenditures  to 
carry  on  the  war  with  Japan  are  reported  to  have 
caused  the  abandonment  of  harness  racing  in  Russia. 
Several  well-known  American  trainers  will  be  sufferers 
if  the  rumors  are  true.  Frank  Starr  and  Frank  Caton 
are  among  the  prominent  Yankee  drivers  under  en- 
gagement in  the  land  of  the  Tsar. 

The  Eastern  Associations  are  all  claiming  dates  for 
harness  meetings,  and  they  occupy  a  half  page  in  the 
last  issue  of  theChicagc  Horseman.  The  North  Pacific 
Circuit  has  fixed  its  dates,  but  California  has  thus  far 
claimed  no  dates.  Isn't  it  time  that  a  date  or  tuo 
was  being  claimed  in  this  State?

CRIPPEN'S    CHRONICLES.  ff 


One  day  in  December,  1SS5,  while  HviDg  in  my 
Dative  town  in  Ashtabula  county.  Ohio,  I  met  "Jim" 
Herriek,  a  neighbor  and  boyhood  friend,  and  we  at 
once  started  a  conversation  on  our  favorite  subject, 
"horse."  "Jim"  was  a  big  boy  and  I  was  a  little  boy, 
and  I  had  always  looked  upon  him  as  a  leading 
authority  on  horses.  When  he  grew  to  manhood  he 
developed  into  a  pretty  shifty  all-round  horseman 
and  about  the  slickest  trader  J  ever  knew.  I  did  not 
know  much  about  horses  myself  except  their  pedi- 
grees, and  I  had  them  down  "pat." 

At  the  time  I  am  writing  about  I  had  the  history, 
breeding  and  performance  of  every  noted  trottiDg  or 
pacing  horse,  sire  or  dam  in  America  "on  tap,  "from 
imp  Messenger  down,  and  was  ready  to  "spread"  it 
at  the  slightest  provocation.  I  had  a  great  reverence 
for  the  wonderful  sire  Blue  Bull  75,  the  horse  that 
was  then  the  champion  sire  of  the  world,  and  when 
"Jim"  told  me  that  day  that  he  knew  of  a  son  of  the 
old  horse  that  was  for  sale  I  got  intensely  interested. 

The  horse  that  he  referred  to  was  owned  by  Sidney 
Love  &  Son,  of  Mecca,  Trumbull  county,  Ohio.  I  had 
never  seen  him,  but  immediately  made  up  my  mind 
that  I  would  the  very  next  day.  Upon  arisiDg  next 
morning,  I  found  that  much  snow  had  fallen  during 
the  Dight,  that  it  was  still  blowing  and  snowing  and 
that  my  proposed  trip  would  be  anything  but  a  pleas- 
ure ride.  Nevertheless,  I  hitched  up  and  started  for 
Mecca,  fifteen  miles  distant,  as  I  was  impatient  to  see 
the  son  of  the  once-despised  plebian  pacer  who  had 
surpassed  the  aristocratic  and  popular  Rysdyk's 
Hambletonian  as  a  sire  of  trotters.  I  made  slow 
progress  through  the  snow  drifts  till  I  had  gone 
about  three  miles,  when  I  realized  that  it  would  be 
impossible  for  me  to  reach  my  destination  and  return 
the  same  day,  so  I  turned  around  and  went  back 
home,  postponing  my  trip  till  the  roads  got  in  better 
shape.  A  few  days  later  I  started  under  more  favor- 
able conditions,  saw  the  horse,  liked  him,  and  traded 
for  him  and  he  was  delivered  to  me  next  day.  At 
that  time  he  was  about  twelve  or  fourteen  years  old, 
had  been  used  as  a  "cross  roads  stud"  serving  a  cheap 
lot  of  common  farm  mares  at  a  very  low  fee,  and  none 
of  his  colts  had  ever  been  trained.  His  pedigree  as 
given  me  was  as  follows:  Sired  by  Blue  Bull  75,  first 
dam  by  Tom  Hal  3000,  second  dam  by  Bertrand, 
thoroughbred,  and  bred  by  Francis  Cline,  of  Rush- 
ville,  Ind.,  a  neighbor  of  James  Wilson,  owner  of  old 
Blue  Bull.  He  was  a  beautiful  dark  chestnut  about 
15.3;  strip  in  the  face;  both  hind  ankles  white;  round 
closely-ribbed  body;  strong  back;  smooth,  finely- 
turned  rump  and  powerful  quarters;  with  the  best  of 
feet  and  legs  absolutely  souDd;  small  ears;  large,  full, 
mildly  expressive  hazel  eyes;  head,  a  trifle  large  and 
slightly  beefy  about  the  jowls,  well  set  on  a  strong, 
beautifully  crested  neck  of  good  length;  mane  and 
tail  not  heavy  but  fine  as  silk,  and  coat  like  satin 
summer  and  winter.  The  hair  on  his  fetlocks  no 
loDger  than  on  his  back.  Never  trained  for  speed,  he 
had  a  fine  open  trotting  gait,  never  showing  any  in- 
clination to  pace;  had  the  sweetest  disposition  and 
most  intelligence  of  any  stallion  I  ever  knew. 


In  the  early  eighties  there  moved  from  Indiana  to 
north-eastern  Ohio,  a  man  by  the  name  of  Wolfe  who 
purchased  a  tract  of  land  in  the  norih-eastern  part  of 
Trumbull  County  with  the  view  of  starting  a  stock 
farm.  He  brought  with  him  several  mares,  among 
them  a  mare  called  Punch,  full  sister  to  Ella  Willson, 
2:30  by  Blue  Bull  75.  After  he  had  been  in  Ohio  a 
short  lime  he  heard  of  "Love's  Blue  Bull"  as  Blue 
Boy  was  then  commonly  known.  After  Beeing  the 
borse,  he  sent  his  Blue  Bull  mare  to  be  bred  to  him. 
Before  the  mire  foaled,  Mr.  Wolfe  caught  the  gland- 
ers from  an  infected  bronco  and  died.  His  widow 
settled  up  his  estate  and  the  stock  was  all  sold  at 
public  auction.  As  there  was  do  one  who  knew  their 
breeding  they  were  sold  without  their  pedigrees  be- 
ing given,  and  had  it  not  been  that  the  Blue  Bull 
mare  bad  been  bred  to  Blue  Boy  and  her  name  and 
pedigree  given,  her  identity  would  have  been  lost.  She 
was  bought  by  a  carpenter  living  in  Bloomfield, 
Trumbull  Co  ,  whose  name  I  have  forgotten-  When 
her  filly  by  Blue  Boy  was  two  years  old,  he  sold 
her  to  a  young  man  .  living  in  the  same  towa 
(whose  oame  I  have  also  forgotten).  She  was  3  yearB 
old  in  1886  when  I  first  saw  her  and  as  I  owned  her 
eire  and  because  she  was  such  afinefillyandin  bred  to 
the  greatest  sire  of  trotters  in  the  world,  I  was  very 
anxious  to  own  her.  I  bad  more  borse6  than  money 
and  offered  to  trade  a  handsome  young  mare  worth 
more  than  8300  for  her  even  up,  but  her  owner  wanted 
boot.  Not  loDg  after  a  friend  of  mind  named  Smith 
■-oveacheap  scrub  mare  over  to  Bloomfield 
re  her  and  fifty   dollars  to  boot  for  the  filly  I 


afterwards  called  Blue  Bell.     The  young  man  got  the " 
boot  and  I  guess   thought  he  had  made  a  good  trade 
as  horses  all  looked  alike  to  him.     He   knew  nothing 
of  the  filly's  breeding  and    I   don't  suppose  he  even 
knew  that  horses  had  such  a  thing  as  a  pedigree. 

This  filly  was  a  beautiful  thing  at  that  time,  a 
bright  bay,  no  white,  about  15  hands,  stout  and  well 
made  in  every  respect  with  a  lot  of  finish.  She  looked 
like  a  pacer  and  was  a  pacer  of  the  purest  kind  and 
had  she  been  developed,  she  would  without  a  doubt, 
have  acquired  a  very  fast  record.  I  worked  her  a 
a  little  as  a  four-year-old  and  she  could  fly.  I  had 
long  had  a  desire  to  come  to  California.  I  wanted  to  see 
the  far-famed  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm,  the  home  of  the 
great  Electioneer  and  his  record  breaking  sons  and 
daughters  that  were  then  electrifying  the  world  with 
their  wonderful  speed.  I  wanted  to  know  how  they 
were  developed,  so  in  the  early  part  of  1888  I  came  to 
California  and  in  course  of  time,  became  coDDected 
with  the  home  of  the  Electioneers  and  had  the  pleas- 
ure of  handling  and  training  many  future  trotting 
stars  bred  in  that  once  famous  nursery  of  early 
speed.  

The  years  rolled  by.  I  read  in  the  papers  about  the 
fast  and  game  pacing  mare  called  Fanny  Dillard  and 
also  a  sensational  pacing  stallion  named  Hal  B.  The 
latter  raced  consistently  two  or  three  years  on  the 
half-mile  tracks  in  northern  Ohio  and  eastern  Penn- 
sylvania and  in  1899  swept  through  the  Grand  Circuit 
without  losing  a  race,  winning  nearly  815,000  and  a 
record  of  2:04}.  In  1903  his  full  sister,  Fanny  Dillard, 
acquired  the  world's  race  record  for  pacing  mares 
2:03|.  These  two  great  pacers  were  sired  by  Hal  Dil- 
lard 2:04|,  the  great  son  of  Brown  Hal  2:12},  and  their 
dam  is  the  inbred  Blue  Bull  mare  now  known  as  Ellen 
M.,  that  I  used  to  call  Blue  Bell. 

Hal  B.  is  in  California  making  the  season  till  May 
15  at  Los  Angeles.  He  is  one  of  the  best  race  horses 
ever  foaled;  is  the  fastest  pacing  bred  stallion  and 
with  one  exception  the  fastest  stallion  that  ever  stood 
in  California.  HeiB  the  best  representative  of  the 
great  pacing  race  horse  Hal  family  west  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi river.  In  his  veins  flow  three  crosses  of  the 
Hal  blood  and  his  dam  is  a  double  grandaughter  of 
the  greatest  sire,  all  things  considered,  that  ever 
lived,  Blue  Bull  75.  A  fast  pacer  in  his  day  when 
pacers  were  unpopular,  for  years  a  teaser  to  a  jack  in 
a  mule  raising  community,  serving  mares  occasionally 
for  $5  or  nothing,  under  the  most  adverse  conditions 
imaginable,  hy  sheer  merit  and  individual  greatness 
that  would  not  down,  Blue  Bull  forced  his  way  to  the 
front  till  he  became  the  champion  sire  of  the  world. 
It  was  not  till  he  was  ready  to  die  that  he  was  con- 
sidered worthy  to  serve  a  well  bred  mare,  consequently 
about  50  of  his  60  trotters  and  8  pacers  were  out  of 
mares  of  uuknowD  breeding,  or  not  known  to  carry 
any  trotting  blood.  All  of  their  records  were  made 
in  races.  Not  one  dollar  was  ever  spent  bv  anyone  in 
developing  the  get  of  that  wonderful  horEe  for  the 
purpose  of 'making  a  reputation  for  him  as  a  sire. 
What  would  have  been  the  fate  of  McKinney,  Elec- 
tioneer, Nutwood  or  any  other  great  sire  if  they  had 
occupied  the  position  held  by  the  "Hero  of  Flat 
Rock."  In  my  opinion,  great  as  they  are  and  where, 
they  wouJd  never  have  been  heard  of.  It  is  through 
his  daughters  that  his  power  to  produce  speed  has 
been  transmited.  A  few  years  ago  he  gained  the  dis- 
tinction of  being  the  greatest  broodmare  sire  and  to- 
day is  near  the  top  in  that  respect,  not  only  in  the 
2:30  list  but  also  the  2:15  and  2:10  list.  Only  three 
sires  excel  him  in  each  of  these  faster  classes.  The 
breeders  of  California  now  have  an  opportunity  of 
securing  a  most  valuable  out  cross  by  sending  their 
mares  to  the  great  Hal — Blue  Bull  stallion  now  at  Los 
Angeles  and  I  believe  maoy  of  them  will  appreciate 
and  improve  the  golden  opportunity  of  securing  the 
blood  that  was  first  to  cross  the  two  minute  line  and 
the  blood  that  was  strong  enough  to  rise  out  of  the 
lowest  depths  and  gain  the  crown  of  the  champion 
Bire  of  his  day. C.  C.  C. 

Palo  Alto  Stallions. 


ifame,  his  reputation  as  a  sire  was  so  well  established 
that  his  services  were  in  demand.  It  has  been  said 
that  Mendocino  is  more  like  his  sire  than  any  other 
son  of  that  great  progenitor  of  speed.  His  foals  are 
all  of  good  size,  are  fine  lookers  with  bold  and  pure- 
trotting  gaits.  In  Idolita  2:09^  he  sired  a  great  race 
trotter,  and  a  horse  that  is  destined  to  be  a  great  sire. 
In  Monte  Carlo  2:01\  he  got  one  of  the  best  Grand 
Circuit  trotters  ever  campaigned.  Monte  Carlo 
holds  the  record,  2:07J  for  the  fastest  seventh  heat 
ever  trotted  and  is  the  winner  of  the  fastest  seven 
heat  race.  Mendocino's  dam  is  the  great  brood  mare 
Mano  by  Piedmont,  second  dam  Mamie  also  a  great 
brood  mare  hy  Hambletomain  Jr.,  third  dam,  the 
thoroughbred  mare  Gilda  by  imported  Mango.  The 
get  of  Mendocino  are  noted  for  being  universally 
strong,  healthy  and  vigorous,  with  excellent  consti- 
tutions. 

McKena  39460  is  a  son  of  the  great  McKinney,  out 
of  that  very  fast  trotting  mare  Helena  2:11  J  (that  has 
produced  Wild  Nutling  2:111,  Dobbel  2:22  and  Hyita 
trial  2:12")  by  Electioneer,  second  dam  the  great  brood 
mare  Lady  Ellen,  dam  of  six  in  the  list,  by  Carr's 
Mambrino,  sire  of  the  dam  of  Sweet  Marie  2:04|,  third 
dam  by  Owen  Dale  and  fourth  dam  by  Williamson's 
Belmont.  McKena  is  over  sixteen  hands  high  and 
weighs  1350  pounds.  He  will  be  five  years  old  in  April. 

McKena  was  bred  to  fifteen  mares  last  year  and 
fourteen  of  them  are  in  foal.  He  is  one  of  the  grandest 
looking  MeKinneys  ever  foaled  and  a  better  bred  one 
would  be  very  hard  to  find.  As  his  service  fee  will  be 
only  $35  he  should  receive  a  very  large  patronage. 


Although  the  great  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  is  a  thing 
of  the  past  so  far  aB  breeding  for  the  market  is  con- 
cerned, there  remains  there  two  stallions  and  they 
will  stand  for  public  service  this  year.  The  two 
stallions  are  Mendocino  2:19}  as  a  three-year-old,  by 
Electioneer,  and  McKena  39.460  by  McKinney. 

Mendocino  as  is  well-known  to  nearly  all  California 
breeders,  is  one  of  Electioneer's  youngest  and  best 
sons.  A6  a  young  trotter  he  was  most  promising, 
trotting  to  a  three-year-old  record  of  2:19}  and  work- 
ing miles  below  that  by  several  seconds.  A  severe 
case  of  distemper  stopped  his  training,  however,  and 
and  left  him  so  Bcarred  that  his  sale  was  out  of  the 
question.  He  was  leased  to  the  late  John  Boggs of 
Colusa  for  a  time  and  served  a  few  outside  mares 
while  in  Colu6a  County.  He  was  returned  to  Palo  Alto 
and  when  Idolita  2:09J   or  Monte  Carlo 2:07J  acquired 


Stam  B.  2:11  1-4  at  Pleasanton. 

A  fast  record,  good  looks,  choice  breeding,  fine 
style,  good  action  and  gameness  are  qualities  found  in 
Stam  B.  2:111,  who  was  not  only  one  of  the  best  colt 
trotters  ever  bred  in  Colifornia,  but  one  of  the  fastest 
and  gamest  of  race  horses,  and  a  stallion  that  is  mak- 
ing a  record  as  a  sire  that  is  bound  to  place  him  in  the 
very  front  rank.  Stam  B.'s  record  as  a  race  horse  is 
known  to  all  Californians.  He  raced  against  the  very 
best  on  the  Coast  and  beat  nearly  ever  horse  th'at 
beat  him.  His  record  of  2:11|  is  not  within  five  sec- 
onds of  his  capabilities  had  he  continued  to  be  raced. 
His  sire  Stamboul  was  the  fastest  trotting  stallion  of 
his  day,  His  dam  Belle  Medium  had  a  trotting  rec- 
ord of  2:20  and  in  addition  to  producing  Stam  B. 
2:11  J,  produced  Dictatus  Medium,  a  producing  stallion 
that  has  made  an  authenticated  trial  of  2:11,  and  also 
of  Ajalon,  another  pi  oducing  sire.  Belle  Medium  is 
by  Happy  Medium,  sire  of  Nancy  Hanks  2:04  and  also 
grandsire  of  the  dam  Lou  Dillion  1:58}  The  second 
dam  of  Stam  B.  is  by  Almont  Lightning,  sire  of  Zam- 
bro's  dam,  the  next  dam  is  by  Mambrino  Patchen  and 
the  next  by  Mambrino  Chief.  So  far  as  breeding  is 
concerned,  there  is  no  better  bred  stallion  than 
Stam  B. 

In  the  stud  Stam  B.  has  not  had  the  best  of  oppor. 
tunities  as  it  is  only  in  the  last  two  or  three  years  that 
he  has  made  any  but  the  most  limited  seasons. 
Very  few  of  his  get  have  been  trained,  but  from  them 
have  come  Swift  B.  three-year-old  record  2:161,  one  of 
the  best  young  prospects  in  America,  and  Roxine 
2:181  a  mare  that  is  said  to  be  a  candidate  for  2:10 
honors  this  year.  There  are  a  half  dosen  young 
Stam  B.'s  that  will  take  records  this  year  if  trained. 
If  you  want  blood  that  will  breed  on,  foals  that  will 
have  good  size,  good  looks  and  good  feet  and  le^s, 
send  your  mares  to  Stam  B.  2:111.  He  will  be  at 
Pleasanton  this  year  for  the  season  beginning  Febru- 
ary 15th,  in  charge  of  Mr.  C.  H.  Gemmill.  He  is  still 
owned  by  Tuttle  Bros,  of  Rocklin,  Cal.,  who  will  be 
pleased  to  answer  any  inquiries  as  to  breeding  mares 
to  Stam  B.    See  advertisement. 


The  Draft  Horse. 


It  is  the  prevailing  opinion  that  the  heavy  draft 
horse,  including  the  Norman  breed,  now  a  distinct 
type,  was  originally  bred  for  strength  to  pull  heavy 
loads;  or  as  a  draft  horse.  This,  however,  is  a  mis- 
take. During  the  so-called  Holy  Crusades,  when  the 
cavaliers  were  making  pilgrimages  to  Jerusalem  to 
redeem  the  Holy  City  to  the  followers  of  The  Cross,  a 
knight  in  steei-clad  armor,  including  the  breast  shield 
and  accoutrements  of  his  horse,  weighed  from  350  to 
450  pounds.  In  case  of  the  more  robust  knights,  who 
usually  weighed  in  the  )5th  century  about  zOO  pounds, 
the  war  horse  was  required  to  carry  about  425poundB, 
So  that  in  the  so-called  chivalric  age  all  breeding  was 
directed  towards  increasing  the  size  and  strength  of 
the  horse.  During  the  year  1217,  one  hundred  stal- 
lions were  purchased  in  Normandy  and  imported  to 
England  and  bred  to  English  mares.  And  for  three 
centuries  after  that,  size  was  sought  rather  than 
speed,  principally  for  the  business  of  war.  When 
gunpowder  and  firearms  came  to  make  still  more 
deadly  the  cruel  business  of  war  (13th  century)  there 
was  no  further  use  for  the  lance  or  steel-clad  armor  or 
the  broad  sword,  or  the  ponderous  war  steed,  and  the 
horse  passed  over  to  a  beast  of  burden. — American

consigned  by  Village  Farm  to  the  Midwinter  Sale. 


Of  the  mares,  Nettie  King  2:20}  (dam  of  The  Abbot)

Lady  Fair  2:17!  by  Gossiper  was  one  of  the  trotters 
consigned  to  the  recent  Fasig-Tipton  sale  in  New 
York  She  brought  $485  and  goes  to  Good  Spring 
Stock  Farm,  Barre,  Pa.,  where  she  is  to  be  used  as  a 
broodmare. 

Carriage  horses  of  the  fashionable  type  must  be 
extremely  scarce  in  the  breeding  districts.  Lehman 
Strauss  recently  traveled  two  weeks  in  Ohio  without 
find'ng  more  than  five  good  enough  for  the  New 
Y         market.     He  is  now  looking  through  Maine. 


John  Madden,  Enoch  Wishard,  Matt  Allen,  Julius 
Bauer,  Crit  Davis,  Walter  House,  John  Croker, 
Father  Bill  Daly,  W.  H.  Snyder,  Lyle  Simmons,  Gil 
Curr  .Will  Young,  Charley  Hughes  were  identified 
with  ohe  harness  horse  game.  They  are  now  with  the 
runners. 

Fourth  payment  of  $10  is  due  and  must  be  paid  by 
Wednesday,  March  1st,  on  yearlings  that  are  entered 
in  Pacific  Breeders  Futurity  No.  4,  $6000  guaranteed. 
After  this  payment  is  made  there  will  be  nothing  more 
to  pay  until  1906.  Keep  your  entry  good  by  making 
this  payment.  

The  American  Horse  Breeder,  of  Boston,  announces 
a  $10,000  futurity  for  mares  bred  last  year.  It  might 
be  well  for  some  of  our  California  breeders  who  con- 
template racing  over  East  in  the  future,  or  selling 
their  coits  at  eastern  auction  sales,  to  make  a  few 
entries  in  this  rich  stake. 


Delia  McCarty,  the  McKinney  mare  recently  sold 
by  Jerry  Doran  of  Oakland  to  Geo.  Easterbrook  of 
Denver,  is  quite  a  trotter  and  should  drop  into  Me- 
Kinney's  already  extensive  2:15  list  this  year.  She 
will  be  trained  by  Joe  Maguire.  It  is  understood  that 
$1500  was  the  price  paid  for  her. 


When  booking  your  mares  this  year  just  remember 
that  Mr.  P.  J.  Williams  fast  ti otter  Monterey  2:09} 
by  the  great  Sydney  is  in  the  stud  at  the  low  price  of 
$50.  Monterey  sired  the  fastest  four-year-old  of  1905, 
the  pacer  Irish  2:08}  and  there  are  several  of  his  colts 
ready  to  enter  the  charmed  circle  this  year. 


The  table  of  World's  Records,  trotting  and  pacing, 
which  Arthur  Caton  Thomas  has  compiled  for  the 
American  Horse  Breeder  is  the  handiest  and  most 
complete  thing  of  its  kind  ever  devised,  and  will  be  a 
valuable  thing  for  compilers  of  pedigrees  as  well  as  all 
who  desire  to  know  what  the  best  records  are. 


Owners  of  mares  in  Southern  California  are  booking 
liberally  to  Neernut  2:12}  this  year.  They  remember 
the  matinee  race  at  Los  Angeles  on  Christmas  Day 
1902,  when  Neernut  2:12}  defeated  Sweet  Marie  in 
2:15.  McKinney  mares  should  produce  well  by  Neer- 
nut, and  we  understand  quite  a  number  will  be  booked 
to  him  this  year.  

The  class  of  mares  that  are  being  booked  to  Kinney 
Lou  2:07}  this  year  are  a  very  high-class  lot.  The 
fact  that  the  young  foais  by  Budd  Doble's  great 
trotter  are  such  fine  individuals  and  promising  trot- 
ters has  influenced  those  who  have  bred  mares  to  him 
heretofore  to  breed  them  back  and  Kinney  Lou  will 
make  a  good  season.    

Among  the  mares  already  booked  to  Hal  B.  2:04! 
since  his  arrival  at  Los  Angeles  is  Juliet  D.  2:13£  by 
McKinney  2:11}.  Juliet  D  is  a  pacer  and  is  the  dam 
of  that  whirlwind  Irish  2:081  by  Monterey  2:09}.  A 
fast  pacing  mare  by  Bay  Wilkes  and  a  four-year-old 
mare  by  Silkwood  2:07  are  also  among  the  mares 
recently  booked  to  Hal  B. 


Salt  Lake  City  is  on  the  Western  Racing  Circuit 
and  the  Utah  Racing  Association  there  has  hung  up 
$20,800  for  tbe  horses  to  compete  for  this  year  at  the 
different  meetings.  Races  will  be  held  May  30th, 
July  4th,  July  24th  and  September  4tb,  one  day  each. 
The  regular  circuit  meeting  will  take  place  July  15th 
to  19th  inclusive,  and  the  Utah  State  Fair  will  be  held 
October  3d  to  17th.  We  advise  horsemen  who  con- 
template racing  In  that  country  this  year  to  read  the 
advertisement  that  appears  in  this  issue  and  send  to 
W.  S.  Jones,  the  manager,  for  an  entry  blank  contain- 
ing conditions  and  all  particulars. 


Dan    Leiginger,  801   Devisadero   street,  has  a  high 
bred  McKinney  gelding  for  sale.      See  advertisement. 


It  is  rumored  about  Pleasanton  that  W.  A.  Clark, 
Jr.,  will  be  interested  in  the  proposed  new  track  at 
that  place. 

The  yearling  colt  by  Axworthy  (3),  2:151,  dam  the 
former  champion  trotter  Sunol  2:08},  has  been  named 
Bon  Axworthy. 

Nancy  Hanks  2:04  has  been  booked  to  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron  2'04J.  There  will  be  more  speed  inheritance 
in  the  foal  than  in  any  ti  otter  bred  thus  far. 


Two  or  three  bills  prohibiting  betting  on  races  have 
been  introduced  in  the  Legislature  but  are  hung  up 
in  the  Committee  on  Public  Morals,  which  does  not 
seem  to  be  particularly  antagonistic  to  them.  The 
author  of  one  of  these  measures  will  demand  that  it 
be  taken  out  of  tbe  hands  of  the  committee  as  he  is 
afraid  that  it  will  be  lost  in  the  shuffle  unless  he  can 
get  it  before  the  House. 


Funston2:08},  the  road  gelding  by  Dictatus,  sold  for 
$1000  at  the  Fasig-Tipton  Midwinter  sale.  He  is  now 
the  property  of  John  Jones,  New  York  City. 


Prof.  Thos.  F.  Adkin,  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  has  sent 
Liska  2:18},  dam  of  Lisonjero  2:08},  Lunda  2:18,  Liso 
2:20}  and  Princess  Lesa  2:22}  to  Ketcham  Farm  to  be 
bred  to  Cresceus  2:02}. 

Metallas  2:11,  the  fast  but  disappointing  trotter, 
sold  for  $2500  at  the  Fasig-Tipton  sale.  He  is  a  black 
stallion  by  Mambrino  King,  out  of  Metella  by  Almont, 
and  is  a  grand  individual. 


Jack  Wilkes,  2:21},  the  crack  Cleveland  matinee 
trotter  that  trotted  two  heats  in  a  race  last  season,  to 
wagon,  in  2:10,  is  to  be  raced  on  the  Grand  Circuit  by 
Vance  Nuckols  next  summer. 


If  you  want  to  win  some  of  the  $6000  which  the  foals, 
now  yearlings,  entered  in  Breeders  Futurity  No.  4 
will  contest  for  in  1906  and  1907,  make  the  payment  of 
$10  which  is  due  and  must  be  paid  by  the  1st  of  March. 


There  were  thirty  descendants  in  the  maternal  line 
from  Estabella,  the  great  broodmare,  disposed  of  at 
the  Village  Farm  dispersal,  and  they  brought  a  total 
of  $46,050,  an  average  of  $1535.  This  is  a  great  show- 
ing as  quite  a  number  were  only  babies,  while  a  few 
were  well  along  in  years. 


H.  S.  Hogoboon  reports  that  there  is  much  inquiry 
about  Iran  Alto  2:12},  James  W.  Rea's  good  trotting 
stallion  that  he  has  in  the  stud  at  the  Woodland  track 
and  the  prospects  for  a  good  season  are  excellent. 
The  Iran  Alto's  are  all  showing  speed  and  extreme 
speed  at  that.  Five  two-year-olds  by  him  that  were 
trained  a  little  last  year  worked  miles  better  than 
2:30.  

Algoneta  2:14,  the  bay  mare  by  Eros,  formerly 
owned  by  Mr.  J.  E.  Mulcahey,  of  this  city,  and  sold 
by  him  in  New  York  two  years  ago,  where  she  has 
been  one  of  the  champion  trotting  team  of  the  New 
York  speedway,  went  through  the  Midwinter  sale, 
last  week,  and  only  brought  $350.  She  has  seen  her 
best  days.  Mattie  Lynn  Holt,  her  mate,  sold  for 
$1000  at  the  same  sale. 


Pleasanton  people  are  talking  of  a  matinee  on 
Washington  Birthday,  this  month.  The  date  falls  on 
Wednesday,  and  as  the  owners  of  roadsters  are  al- 
ready at  work  training  for  the  events  some  good 
racing  will  undoubtedly  be  seen.  The  Pleasanton 
Times  says  the  following  named  gentlemen  will 
probably  start  their  horses  in  some  of  the  races  that 
day:  Dr.  Colestock,  George  Johnston,  W.  E.  Deteis. 
C.  L.  Powell,  R.  C.  Peach,  L.  M.  Lock,  Con  Nevin 
and  Lee  Wells.  

Cavel  Rodriguez  will  move  from  Gonzales  to  Salinas 
track  next  week  with  quite  a  string  of  trotters  and 
pacers  owned  by  different  parties.  He  will  take  the 
four-year-old  Joe  Robin  by  Robin  that  paced  a  mile 
last  year  in  2: I9i,  and  a  full  brother  called  Fred  W. 
that  is  a  very  promising  three-year-old.  Another 
good  three-year-old  is  called  Chris  Robin.  All  three 
of  these  young  horses  are  owned  by  Mr.  C.  H.  Wide- 
man,  of  Gonzales.  Rodriguez  will  also  have  in  his 
string  the  two-year-old  trotter  Red  Robin,  owned  by 
Paul  Bianchi  of  Gonzales.  It  is  the  intention  to  tit  all 
these  youngsters  for  races  on  the  California  Circuit. 


While  tbe  heavy  rains  of  the  past  few  weeks  have 
made  nearly  every  track  in  California  unfit  to  work 
on,  the  Woodland  track  has  been  in  such  6hape  that 
the  horses  have  been  taking  their  usual  exercise  on  it 
whenever  the  sun  has  shone.  Since  Superintendent 
Chas.  Spencer  began  working  it  it  is  surprising  how 
soon  after  a  rain  it  is  fit  to  speed  over.  There  are 
quite  a  few  horses  in  training  there.  Al  Charvo  has 
nine  head,  H.  S.  Hogoboom  ten,  R.  H  Nason  five, 
Det  Bigelow  four,  C.  W.  Harrington  four,  Prof.  Free- 
man ten,  Peter  Fryatt  two,  Frank  Wright  five,  and 
Chas.  Spencer  is  working  fourteen  of  the  Woodland 
Stock  Farm  horses,  mostly  colts  and  fillies  by  Nusha- 
gak  and  Prince  Ansel.  ■ 

The  Horse  Fair  Association  will  hold  a  six  days' 
exhibition  at  Madison  Square  Garden,  New  York, 
beginning  April  24th.  At  a  recent  meeting  of  the 
directors  it  was  decided  to  offer  $10,000  in  purses  for 
trotting,  pacing  and  pony  races  under  saddle  on  a 
miniature  track  to  be  built  in  the  arena.  On  these 
and  other  features  of  the  ^how  the  association  de- 
cided to  expend  about  $25,000,  and  to  this  end  the 
board  of  directors  was  authorizpd  to  increase  the 
capital  stock  of  the  association  to  $25,000.  The  officials 
recently  elected  are  as  follows:  F.  M.  Ware,  President; 
J.  D.  Carrol,  Vice-President;  G.  G.  Gue,  Secretary; 
Lehman  Strauss,  Treasurer;  Directors,  M.  G.  Byers, 
Allen  MacNaughtan,  S.  B.  Hexter,  T.  E.  Gordon,  Jr.; 
J.  D.  Carrol,  F.  M.  Ware,  G.  G.  Gue,  Lehman  Strauss 
and  Albert  De  Cernea. 


There  are  at  least  a  half  dozen  buyers  in  California 
who  are  looking  for  good  prospects  for  the  Grand 
Circuit.  They  are  willing  to  pay  fair  prices,  but  they 
complain  that  the  figures  asked  by  owners  are  a  little 
too  high.  Owners  should  get  all  they  can,  but  tbe 
chance  to  sell  a  horse  at  a  good  price  should  not  be 
lost  through  fear  that  the  buyer  will  resell  at  a  profit. 
If  horse  buyers- cannot  realize  something  for  their 
time  and  money  they  will  go  out  of  the  business. 


The  breeding  of  Zolock  2:09}  appeals  to  all  intelli- 
gent breeders.  Heis  by  McKinney  2:11},  the  greatest 
of  sires,  dam  the  great  broodmare  Gazelle  2:11},  dam 
also  of  Zephyr  2:11  by  Gossiper  2:14};  second  dam 
Gipsey,  dam  of  Gazelle  2:11!  and  Ed  Winship  2:15  by 
Gen  Booth.  Zolock  is  proving  a  sire  of  early  and  ex- 
treme speed  as  out  of  his  first  crop  of  two-year-olds 
came  last  year  Delilah,  the  fastest  two-year-old  pacer 
of  the  year,  and  Ambush  a  2:20  trotter.  No  mistake 
will  be  made  by  those  who  breed  to  Zolock. 


Diablo  2:09}  is  looking  better  this  year  than  ever. 
Like  nearly  every  California  bred  horse  that  is  taken 
out  of  the  State  for  any  length  of  time,  he  has  picked 
up  wonderfully  since  coming  back  from  Oregon,  and 
looks  and  acts  like  a  two-year-old.  The  Diablos  go 
into  the  list  with  such  regularity  every  year  that 
breeders  can  depend  upon  getting  a  fast  colt  when 
breeding  any  good  mare  to  Diablo.  Mr.  C.  D.  Crook- 
ham,  who  has  Diablo  at  Woodland  this  year,  is  book- 
ing quite  a  number  of  good  mares  to  him. 


Direct  Hal  2:04}  sold  for  $11,000  at  the  recent  Fasig- 
Tipton  sale  in  New  York,  and  one  of  his  sons,  Lord 
Direct,  sold  for  $10,500.  The  coming  of  Hal  B  2:04!  to 
Los  Angeles  gives  California  breeders  an  opportunity 
to  secure  the  blood  of  the  famous  Tennessee  pacing 
family  "The  Hals,"  and  in  a  great  measure  enables 
them  to  duplicate  the  breeding  of  this  great  stallion 
Direct  Hal,  as  he  was  by  Direct  2:051  and  his  dam  a 
daughter  of  Tom  Hal  Direct  Hal  was  bred  by  that 
great  reinsman,  Mr.  Ed  Geers. 


The  fact  that  a  whole  car  of  mares  will  be  sent  from 
Spokane  to  Los  Angeles  to  be  bred  to  Zombro  2:11  is 
not  surprising.  As  a  sire  Zombro  is  McKinney 's  great- 
est son  anj  as  a  race  trotter  his  equal  was  never  seen 
among  three-year  olds  as  he  won  forty  heats  In  actual 
races,  in  the  majority  of  which  he  met  aged 
horses.  The  young  Zombros  win  at  the  races 
and  in  the  show  ring.  He  is  one  of  the  grandest 
looking  and  one  of  the  best  bred  stallions  in  America. 
What  more  could  any  one  ask  when  selecting  a  sire  to 
breed  to? 

Mr.  Louis  W.  Winans  of  England,  who  has  been  a 
heavy  purchaser  at  tbe  big  sales,  has  a  string  of  fast 
pacers  that  are  enough  to  excite  the  envy  of  American 
road  drivers  and  speed  lovers.  In  his  striDg  are 
Prince  Alert  1:57  Fanny  Dillard  2:03},  Charley  B. 
2:07!,  Passing  Belle  2:08},  Tberon  Powers  2:08,  Trilby 
Direct  2:08},  Tom  Nolan  2:09},  Bobby  Hal  2:14}  and 
Katy  B.  2:14}.  He  has  some  pretty  fair  trotters  also, 
and  among  them  are  Alta  Axworthy  2:10},  Nellie  Gay 
2:14}  and  others.  

Sue  2:12!  by  Athadon  received  a  kick  from  a  horse 
running  in  the  pasture  with  her  a  few  days  ago,  and 
as  a  result  lost  twin  foals  by  Strathway  that  were  not 
due  for  several  weeks.  The  twins  were  a  colt  and 
filly  exactly  alike  in  every  way,  the  same  size,  and 
bays  with  a  small  star.  Mr.  C.  A.  Canfield,  of  Los 
Angeles,  the  owner  of  Sue  feels  the  loss  greatly,  as  his 
desire  was  to  breed  a  pair  of  roadsters  from  this  good 
mare,  and  no  man's  $10,000  would  have  purchased 
these  foals  had  they  lived.  Sue  will  be  bred  to  Strath- 
way again  this  year  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  better 
luck  will  attend  her.   

The  popular  Dexter  Prince  Stables,  near  the  corner 
of  Baker  and  Grove  streets,  this  city,  situated  just  at 
the  Panhandle  entrance  to  Golden  Gate  Park,  have 
recently  passed  into  the  bands  of  Victor  Verilhac, 
proprietor  and  James  McGrath,  manager,  two  gentle- 
men who  will  devote  their  time  to  catering  to  the 
wants  of  those  who  desire  to  keep  their  driving  horses 
at  one  of  the  best  located  and  most  sanitary  stables  in 
California.  Mr.  Verilhac  employs  careful  and  ex- 
perienced men  to  care  for  and  exercise  park  roadsters 
and  prepare  horses  for  track  use.  Ladies  who  enjoy 
driving  in  the  park  or  along  the  ocean  shore  will  find 
the  Dexter  Prince  Stables  an  ideal  place  to  hare  their 
horses  stabled  as  they  can  drive  them  from  the  park 
without  crossing  cartracks. 


Many  good  race  meetings  have  been  held  at 
Hollister  and  one  will  be  held  this  year  that  will  be 
equal  to  any  held  there.  The  Hollister  Free  Lance  of 
last  week  contained  the  following:  "The  Hollister 
Driving  Club  was  organized  last  week  with  the  fol- 
lowing officers:  R.  I.  Orr,  President;  A.  D.  Shaw, 
Secretary;  R.  P.  Lathrop,  Treasurer.  A  lease  has 
been  secured  of  the  race  track,  and  tbe  track  will  be 
put  in  first  class  condition.  It  is  the  intention  of  the 
club  to  hold  a  race  meeting  this  fall.  Good  purses 
will  be  hung  up,  the  intention  being  to  make  tbe 
meeting  a  great  success."  The  gentlemen  who  have 
been  selected  to  fill  tbe  official  positions  are  leading 
citizens  of  San  Benito  county  and  we  look  to  see  the 
Hollister  Drivi.ig  Club  become  one  of  the  mrst  pros- 
perous in  California  and  very  likely  be  on  tbe  main 
circuit  of  harness  racing.  The  Hollister  track  is  one 
of  the  best  in  the  State  and  is  well  appointed.

[February  12,  1905 


GOOD   SHOWING   IN    STAKE   No.    5. 


Two  Hundred  and  Eighty-Six  Second  Payments 

Made  in  Breeders  Futurity  for  Foals 

of  Mares  Bred  in  1904. 


Stake  No.  5  of  the  Pacific  Breeders  Futurities,  guar- 
anteed to  be  worth  S7000  by  the  Pacific  Coast  Trot- 
ting Horse  Breeders  Association,  has  a  very  healthy 
look.  There  were  3SS  original  nominations  at  $2  each, 
putting  $776  into  the  stake  as  a  starter,  and  now  sec- 
ond payment  has  been  made  on  288  at  So  each,  which 
adds  $1430  to  this  amount,  or  a  total  of  $2206  paid  in 
on  foals,  a  vast  majority  of  whicb  are  yet  unborn. 
The  interest  on  these  payments,  which  are  all  put  in 
a  savings  bank  to  the  credit  of  the  stake,  will  make  it 
of  greater  value  than  the  guaranteed  amount  if  the 
future  payments  are  proportionately  kept  up,  of 
which  there  is  every  assurance.  The  list  of  original 
nominations,  substitutions  and  transfers  on  which 
second  payments  were  made  is  as  follows:

On  a  Solid  Basis. 


That  the  horse  breeding  industry  is  on  a  solid  basis, 
and  that  the  outlook  for  the  future  is  most  encourag- 
ing, is  evidenced  by  the  report  on  the  horse  in  the 
thirty-ninth  annual  report  of  the  Union  Stock  Yards 
and  Transit  Company  of  Chicago.  The  report  by  this 
company  furnishes  a  good  idea  of  the  conditions  of  the 
horse  business  throughout  the  United  States  Dur- 
ing the  past  year  the  total  receipts  of  horses  were 
105,949  as  compared  with  100,603  during  the  year  pre- 
vious. The  value  of  the  horses  received  during  1904 
was  $14,303,115  and  the  average  value  of  the  individ- 
ual horse  shows  an  increase  in  price  every  year  siDce 
1901,  showing  that  the  horse  breeding  business  is  in  a 
healthy  condition.  For  instance,  draft  horses  aver- 
aged S157  in  1901  and  during  the  past  year  they  aver- 
aged $177,  and  increase  of  $6  over  1903.  Carriage 
taams  averaged  $475  as  against  $400  in  1901,  drivers 
$150  as  against  $137  in  1901,  general  use  $140  as  against 
$102  in  1901,  and  saddlers  $160  as  against  $147  in  1901. 
The  year  1904  also  marked  the  largest  receipts  of 
horses  for  any  one  day  in  the  history  of  the  yards,  as 
on  March  21st  there  were  1775  horses  received  there. 
It  is  interesting  to  note,  too,  that  the  total  receipts  of 
horses  duriDg  thirty-nine  years  were  1,953,272.  In 
regard  to  the  horse  market  the  report  says:  "Larger 
receipts,  an  active  trade  and  better  prices  character- 
ized the  Chicago  horse  market  during  the  year  just 
closed.  It  made  the  most  creditable  showing  of  any 
department  of  Chicago's  live  stock  interests.  Being 
unaffected  by  the  labor  troubles,  it  continued  to  pros- 
per the  year  through.  The  unusual  dullness  which 
marked  the  closing  months  of  1903  passed  away,  leav- 
ing a  clear  field  for  1904.  The  results  of  the  year's 
business  were  very  satisfactory,  and  every  indication 
points  to  a  continuation  of  good  business.  There  is  a 
great  and  growing  demand  for  good  horses  possessed 
of  proper  breeding  and  conformation,  for  both  domes- 
tic use  and  export.  The  automobile  has  had  no  ap- 
preciable effect  on  horse  values.  The  world  's  produc- 
tion of  horses  has  not  kept  pace  with  the  growing 
demands  of  increasing  populations.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  many  popular  horse  shows  and  livestock 
exposition?,  where  the  floest  specimens  of  the  equine 
race  aredisplayed  to  admirirjgmuilitudes,  have  raised 
the  ideals  of  the  people  and  increased  their  desire  for 
possession  of  more  horses  and  better  horses  than  ever 
beforet  so  that  a  higher  standard  of  excellence  is  de- 
manded of  breeders  and  dealers  generally.  American 
consumers  now  pay  fully  as  much  for  good  horses  of 
all  classes  as  foreign  customers.  On  the  other  hand 
there  is  an  increasing  foreign  demand  f^r  American 
bred  horses.  Breeders  and  dealers  are  studying  the 
requirements  of  the  market  more  closely  than  ever 
h3fore,  and  the  International  Live  Stock  Exposition 
and  other  superb  horse  shows  have  proved  ,0  be  im- 
mensely valuable,  in  bringing  together  the  ideas  cf 
producers  and  customers.  All  horse  interests  are 
alive  to  the  splendid  opportunities  cow  before  them. 
In  fact,  at  no  time  in  the  history  of  the  horse  industry 
were  conditions  more  favorable  for  uninterrupted 
prosperity  than  the  present  "  Under  the  circum- 
stances it.  would  appear  as  though  it  would  be  good 
judgment  on  the  part  of  breeders  to  extend  their  ope- 
rations.— Chicago  Horseman-

A  good  stylish  driving  horse  is  wanted  by  a  phy- 
sician, whose  advertisement  stating  qualifications  of 
animal  desired  appears  in  this  issue.  Nothiog  furnishes 
stronger  proof  of  the  assertion  that  good  driving 
horses  are  scarce,  than  the  insertion  of  such  adver- 
tisements in  the  turf  papers.  A  few  years  ago  good 
roadsters  were  to  be  found  without  much  trouble,  but 
there  is  no  longer  an  over  supply.  We  hope  seme  of 
our  readers  may  be  able  to  furnish  Dr.  Congdon,  of 
JamestowD,  Cal.,  the  sort  of  horse  he  desires.

THOROUGHBREDS.  % 


The  Burns  Handicap  has  been  run  and  won  for  the 
twelfth  time,  and,  as  usual,  the  favorite  had  the  mud 
of  defeat  thrown  into  its  aristocratic  nostrils.  That 
Claude,  137  lbs.  and  all,  would  have  won  if  given  more 
intelligent  handling  there  can  be  no  doubt,  but  W. 
Daly  took  "father's  horse"  into  the  deepest  of  the 
going  on  the  back  stretch,  and  waited  entirely  too 
long  and  with  an  air  of  too  great  confidence  on  the 
leaders  to  "come  back."  Rockaway.it  is  true,  was 
plainly  done  for  at  the  end  of  a  mile,  and  stopped  to  a 
walk,  but  W.  R.  Condon  was  at  his  heels  to  pick  up 
the  running  and  the  good  dry  path  that  ieads  to 
victory,  these  muddy  days — nine  times  out  of  ten. 
But  why  repine?  The  Burns  Handicap  of  1905  was 
won  by  a  good  horse,  for  from  the  time  he  "rounded 
to"  December  16tb,  the  date  of  his  first  win  here,  W. 
R.  Condon  had  started  nine  times,  winning  six  races, 
been  third  twice  and  unplaced  just  once,  really  a  first 
class  showing.  To  date  the  son  of  Troubadour  and 
Felipa  has  started  in  fourteen  races  at  Emeryville, 
winning  seven  times  and  being  "out  of  the  money'' 
but  four  times.  Troubadour,  his  sire,  was  a  Suburban 
Handicap  winner  in  the  colors  of  Capt.  S.  S.  Brown 
in  the  middle  '8G"s,  and  on  this  race  tbe  coal  king 
made  the  "clean-up"  of  his  career,  $110,000.  To 
Louis  Ezell  the  victory  was  a  most  pleasant  one,  forjthe 
Illinois  turfman  is  not  overburdened  with  "the  gelt." 
For  my  part  I  like  to  see  races  of  this  sort  won  by 
men  who  will  put  the  coin  into  horseflesh  at  no  far- 
distant  day  and  help  along  the  breeding  industry. 
Condon,  to  my  mind,  is  the  best  and  raciest  looking 
horse  that  competed  in  the  Burns,  Claude  the  next 
best.in  point  of  "looks."  Veterano,  ridden  by  Harry 
Birkenruth,  fresh  from  France,  got  third  place 
through  the  intelligent  handling  he  received,  at  least 
four  lengths  being  saved  on  the  final  turn  through 
hugging  the  rail,  where  the  going  was  about  as  good 
as  anywhere  else — except  on  "the  path."  Barrack 
in  the  heavy  going  most  of  the  way,  ran  a  great  race, 
and  though  only  fourth  at  the  finish,  was  going  "two 
for  one"  at  the  conclusion  of  the  festivities. 


The  new  American  Jockey  Club-Committee  on  By- 
laws and  Constitution  met  last  Tuesday  afternoon  at 
New  Orleans,  and  a  dispatch  from  there  says  the 
Western  Jockey  Club  rules  are  to  be  adopted.  This 
is  rather  to  be  deplored,  if  true,  for  it  shows  a  lack  of 
originality  in  the  new  organization,  which  should  not 
pattern  after  anyone.  I  saw  where  Worth  and  Elm 
Ridge,  Kansas  City,  had  representatives  in  the  Cres- 
cent City,  and  this  does  not  look  as  if  Condon's  blus- 
ter about  Corrigan  not  being  able  to  take  either  track 
from  the  Western  Jockey  Club  amounted  to  anything. 
That  article  was  too  one-sided,  anyhow.  It  looks, 
too,  as  if  Corrigan  had  the  upper  hand  if  trouble  is  to 
be  had  in  Illinois,  for  advices  from  Hammond.  Ind. 
are  to  the  effect  that  the  big  turf  magnate  coula 
secure  the  new  track  for  his  organization  if  he  wanted 
it.  Indeed,  it  does  look  very  blue  for  racing  folks  in 
the  States  of  Illinois  and  Missouri.  Governor  Folk  is 
red-hot  after  the  repeal  of  the  breeders' law  in  Mis- 
souri, and  only  last  Tuesday  recommended  to  the 
Legislature  of  Missouri  the  lifting  of  this  measure 
from  the  statute  books  and  prohibiting  betting  on 
races  in  his  State  altogether.  If  this  is  done  it  will 
be  an  awful  blow  to  breeders  and  track-owners  in  and 
about  the  Mound  City.  Truly,  the  goose  that  Uid 
the  golden  eggs  will  be  killed. 


The  McCafferty  stable  has  been  much  in  evidence  of 
late.  February  2d  The  Hawaiian  (trained  by  C.  C. 
MeC.,1  won  at  odds  of  7  to  1.  February  4th  Mr.  Far- 
nura  won  at  odds  of  8  to  1,  and  Golden  Idol  ran  second 
to  Ara  in  the  last  race.  February  6th  San  Jose  ran 
third  to  Miller's  Daughter  and  Mabel  Bates,  and  Dr. 
Leggo,  the  great  Puryear  D.  colt,  beat  Tramotor, 
Edrodun  and  others  in  a  big  gallop.  The  Hawaiian 
ran  third  on  Tuesday  last. 


Bragg,  Jim  Curl's  iittle  bay  horse  fresh  from  Los 
Angeles,  beat  a  fine  field  at  six  furlongs  last  Tuesday, 
his  first  essay  this  season,  and  the  distance  being  con- 
sidered altogether  too  shoit  to  suit  the  horse  that 
keeps  flour  in  the  Curl  barrel.  However,  Bragg  beat 
the  gate  and  came  around  in  the  path  in  the  home- 
stretch, just  winning  by  half  a  length  in  a  hard  drive. 
Sais,  the  odds-on  favorite,  wound  up  fourth  in  the 
race.  

Hainault  won  his  seventh  race  at  the  meeting  on 
Tuesday,  this  being  out  of  ten  -starts.  It  is  the  best 
showing  made  by  any  horse  racing  here,  and  it  is  no 
wise  certain  that  he  ought  no!i  to  have  won  nine  races 
instead  of  seven.  Chandler  who  put  up  an  awful  ride 
on  him  recently,  when  third,  has  been  suspended  by 
the  stewards  for  an  indefinite  period,  and   this  may 


help  some.  Davis  has  been  altogether  too  free  with 
his  promises  to  ride  of  late  and  too  lax  in  keeping 
his  engagements,  so  the  stewards  gave  him  a  rest 
for  a  period  not  made  public.  He  might,  while  rest- 
ing, secure  some  tannic  acid  and  with  a  solution  of  it 
bathe  his  troubled  head.  In  a  month  or  so  it  might 
be  reduced  to  something  like  normal  dimensions. 


Mazapan  is  the  second  daughter  of  A.  B.  Spreckles' 
fine  English  horse  to  win  at  the  local  meeting,  Daruma 
being  the  first.  This  she  did  last  Tuesday,  like  a  real 
good  one,  too.  She's  a  nice  looker  and  seems  to  im- 
prove with  every  race — a  good  sign. 


Bell  Reed  now  leads  as  a  race-winner  for  the  season 
at  Emeryville,  with  eight  victories  to  his  credit. 
Hainault  has  seven  and  W.  R.Condon  seven,  Honiton 
six.  Belham  and  Sad  Sam  each  five.  This  was  up  to, 
and  including  last  Wednesday.  Bell  Reed  cannot  be 
raced  on  the  big  tracts  of  the  East  or  Middle  West, 
on  account  of  his  owners  not  being  able  to  trace  his 
pedigree  beyond  the  fourth  dam,  though  he  is  un- 
doubtedly "running  bred"  beyond  this. 


Capt.  Thomas  B.  Merry's  book,  "The  American 
Thorougbred,"is  out,  and  while  I  have  not  had  time 
to  carefully  peruse  it,  believe  it  is  the  best  thing  the 
Captain  has  ever  done,  which  is  saying  a  whole  lot.

From  Los  Angeles. 


The  weather  has  been  rainy  during  the  past  week 
and  in  consequence  there  has  been  a  muddy  track 
during  most  of  the  time,  but  these  conditions  seem  to 
have  had  no  particular  evil  effect  on  the  racing,  the 
public  continuing  to  pick  the  winners  with  great 
regularity.  The  San  Pedro  Selling  Stake  last  Satur- 
day was  won  by  Requiter,  the  even  money  favorite, 
with  The  Lady  Rhodesia  second  and  Blissful  third. 
The  stake  was  worth  $1650  to  the  winner  which  waB 
run  up  to  $2-100  after  the  race  but  was  retained  by  her 
owner,  S.  M.  Williams. 

C.  Schawaker  met  with  bad  luck  in  the  last  race  on 
Saturday.  Ralph  Young  running  in  his  colors  was  the 
favorite  in  tbe  race  and  carried  a  lot  of  stable  money, 
but  was  unfortunately  left  at  the  post  and  after  the 
race  was  claimed  by  J.  Pelter  for  $1325,  Mr.  Scha- 
waker then  losing  both  his  monoy  and  his  horse. 

Jockey  Buchanan  was  ejected  from  Ascot  Park  last 
Monday  and  his  badges  taken  away  frcm  him. 
Buchanan  claimed  that  the  officials  would  give  him 
no  satisfactory  reason  for  the  action  taken,  but  that 
he  was  told  by  the  captain  of  the  Ascot  police  force 
to  get  away  from  the  track  and  stay  away.  Buchanan 
asserts  that  he  has  been  guilty  of  no  wrong  doing. 

Following  is  a  list  of  the  owners  who  nave  won  $1000 
or  over.  James  Curl  got  so  far  ahead  in  the  beginning 
of  the  season  that  he  Soill  leads.  All  of  his  money  was 
won  in  over-night  events.  James  McLaughlin  is  a 
close  second.  C.  Stubenbord,  Jr.,  is  a  bang-up  third.

The  Ascot  Oaks  is  down  for  decision  on  Saturday, 
February  11th,  and  from  present  indications  it  looks 
as  if  quite  a  large  field  will  go  to  the  post,  although 
Gold  Rose  looks  to  be  a  moral  for  first  money.  This 
good  filly  has  incurred  no  penalties  for  winning  and 
will  start  at  even  weights  with  the  rest  of  the  field. 
There  are  a  good  many  events  for  three-year  olds  on 
the  program  these  days  in  order  to  give  owners  a 
chance  to  try  out  their  candidates  for  the  Oaks,  to  be 
run  this  week,  and  for  the  Derby  which  will  occur  a 
week  later. 

There  has  been  considerable  dissatisfaction  among 
the  bookmakers,  owing  to  the  action  of  the  officials 
in  allowing  owners  to  scratch  below  the  regulation 
six  in  purse  races  and  handicaps.  On  several  occa- 
sions lately  there  have  been  but  three  starters  in 
events  of  this  kind,  which  has  destroyed  the  interest 
in  them;  and,  in  fact,  two  of  these  races  which  took 
place  on  Monday  were  no  contests  It  is  understood, 
however,  that  in  future  the  rule  will  be  strictly  ad- 
hered to  and  no  scratching  will  be  allowed  under  the 
required  number,  except  for  lameness. 

John  Mackey  was  here  all  of  last  week  and  disposed 
of  quite  a  number  of  youngsters  to  various  horsemen 


now  at  the  track.    Mr.  Mackey  was  much  pleased  at 
the  outlook  for  winter  racing  in  this  part  of  the  coun- 
try, and  predicted  a  great  future  for  Ascot  Park.

Good  Sport  At  Ingleside. 

The  Women's  Hospital  and  Armitage  Orphanage, 
two  very  worthy  institutions  of  this  city  are  to  be 
the  beneficiaries  of  a  day's  sport  at  Ingleside  Race 
Track  on  Washington's  Birthday  to  be  given  by  the 
the  California  Polo  and  Pony  Racing  Association. 

This  will  be  the  first  meeting  of  the  association

ing sport  furnished  by  the  miniature  thoroughbreds. 
The  feature  of  the  day  will  be  the  two-mile  steeple- 
chase over  the  stiff  jumps  through  the  field.  This 
will  be  open  to  all  horses  which  have  been  hunted 
with  the  San  Mateo  drag  hounds.  As  there  area

The  Scarcity  of  Horses. 

It  is  now  more  than  five  years  since  the  last  advance 
in  the  price  of  horses  began.  Between  1894  and  1899 
so  little  breeding  had  been  done  that  it  was  a  rare 
thing  to  see  a  foal  or  a  yearling  or  two-year  old  during 
a  five-mile  drive  along  a  country  road  in  a  district 
which  formorly  sent  many  horses  to  the  market. 
Then  came  the  change.  Horses  were  wanted  and  in 
1900  many  foals  were  born.  In  1901  a  still  larger  crop 
was  foaled.  Foals  born  in  1900  must  be  very  nearly 
five  years  old  now,  those  born  in  1901  nearly  foi»r  and 
those  born  one  year  later  are  nearly  three.  We  know 
that  during  all  these  years  and  1903  and  1904  most 
farmers  bred  as  many  mires  as  they  could  control. 
There  fore  there  should  be  many  horses  in  the  country, 
and  yet  such  is  not  the  report  received  by  us.  A 
shipper  cannot  be  found  who  will  say  that  horses  are 
anything  but  6carce  and  the  army  of  professional 
buyers  swarming  all  over  the  Corn-belt  proves  that 
horses  cannot  be  too  plentiful.  What  is  the  matter 
with  the  situation?  The  horses  should  be  in  evidence 
and  still  they  do  not  seem  to  be.  There  must  be  seme- 
thing  wrong  somewhere.  What  is  more,  in  the  good 
old  days  farmers  were  wont  to  ship  a  good  many 
horses  themselves.  They  would  pool  interests  and 
send  enough  at  a  time  to  fill  a  car,  one  of  tbe  owners 
accompanying  the  shipment, transacting  the  necessary 
business  and  accounting  for  the  proceeds.  Now  one 
never  hears  of  anything  of  the  sort  being  done.  Pro- 
fessional dealers  alone  are  represented  in  the  owner- 
ship of  incoming  loads.  This  again  looks  very  much 
as  though  horses  are  not  as  plentiful  as  it  was  ex- 
pected they  would  be  by  this  t.me.  We  would  like  to 
learn  something  of  the  actual  condition.  We  reque-t 
our  readers  to  write,  informing  us  of  tbe  supply  in 
their  neighborhoods,  numbers,  ages,  breeds  and  so 
forth.  Are  there  more  two-year-olds  than  threes, 
more  yearlings  than  twos,  more  weanlings  than  year- 
lings? Is  a  too  large  supply  to  be  expected  providing 
that  the  demand  retains  its  present  proportions? —

Firearms  In  Junkshops. 

Like  every  other  large  city  on  the  Coast  and  in  the 
West,  San  Francisco  has  its  full  share  of  pawn  shops 
and  dealers  in  second-haDd  6tufl  like  light  hardware, 
tools  and  firearms.  Just  now  these  shops  bristle  with 
firearms,  and  a  glance  at  their  window  displays — save 
the  mark ! — might  lead  the  uninitiated  to  assume  that 
their  dingy  interiors  were  crammed  with  more  shoot- 
ing-irons, which  is  not  always  true,  as  Isaac  knows 
his  trade  and  as  soon  as  he  is  free  to  dispose  of  an  un- 
redeemed firearm  he  hustles  it  into  the  front  window 
as  if  it  were  hot  and  might  set  the  shop  afire  if  left 
elsewhere.  Visitors  from  the  territories  and  the  in- 
terior points,  know  a  good  revolver,  rifle  or  shotgun 
when  they  see  it  and  Isaac  realizes  this. 

There  Is  somethiug  peculiarly  fascinating,  to  one 
fond  of  firearms,  in  these  junkshop  windows.  Not 
that  one  ever  cares  to  enter,  which  would  involve 
haggling  with  the  dealer  and  a  lose  of  one's  self  re- 
spect, since  one's  tongue  is  not  sharpened  to  a  rough 
cutting  edge  through  habitual  contact  with  such 
characters  as  compose  the  dealer's  clientele,  and  a 
mere  expressed  desire  to  look  about  would  involve 
one  in  a  wordy  encounter  with  the  proprietor  and  at 
the  least  a  parting  shot  from  the  barker  on  the  curb 
whose  ready  command  of  billingsgate  is  remarkable, 
to  say  the  least. 

In  one  respect  the  firearms  exhibited  in  the  junk- 
shops  of  New  York  and  other  Eastern  cities  and  in 
the  larger  centers  throughout  the  West  are  very  sim- 
ilar, in  that  one  seldom  sees  any  single-action  revol- 
vers, target  revolvers  or  target  pistols.  The  majority 
are  double-action.  But  whereas  in  the  Eastern  junk- 
shops  one  sees  a  first-class  revolver  but  seldom,  the 
majority  being  cheap  affairs,  in  the  West  the  reverse 
applies,  or  at  least,  the  high-grade  revolver  is  more 
in  evidence,  bearing  out  the  old  saying  of  Texans 
that  while  a  man  may  not  need  a  revolver  often, 
should  be  need  one  at  all  he  will  need  it  very  badly  in- 
deed. Wherefore  it  may  be  asked,  if  a  good  revolver 
is  something  one  may  need  badly,  why  pawn  it?  A 
question  hard  to  answer  for  it  is  known  that  firearms 
find  their  way  to  junkshops  through  many  channels 
not  lighted  by  sunshine.  Sporting  goods  dealers 
know  how  frequently  stocks  of  revolvers  disappear 
forever  and  of  the  difficulty  of  tracing  them  to  their 
eventual  destinjticn.  the  pawn  or  the  junkshop,  the 
owner  of  which  may  or  may  not  be  entirely  innocent 
of  wrong  in  their  purchase,  since  he  cannot  always 
tell  who  his  patrons  are. 

In  another  respect  the  Eastern  and  Western  shops 

show  g  >ods  of  a  different  character.    This  is  in  both 

size  and  calibre.   There  the  majority  are  pocket  sizes, 

.32    nd  .38  calibres  in  the  order  given,  with  barrels 

ire  often  than  over  four  inches  in  length;  and 

.ued  finish  is  more  common  than  formerly,  the 


tendency  toward  nickel-plating  is  still  strong,  for 
plating  covers  a  multitude  of  Defects  and  the  inex- 
perienced buyer  cannot  tell  whether  potmetal  or  steel 
lies  under  the  buffed  finish,  Blued  finish  covers  some 
defects,  too,  although  in  the  cheaper  grades  of  re- 
volvers it  fails  to  hide  inferiorily,  iht  re  beirg  a  dif- 
ference in  its  general  appearance  easier  for  the  expert 
to  detect  than  to  describe. 

In  the  West,  on  the  other  hand,  revolvers  are  of 
larger  calibre  and  more  of  these  are  seen  in  the  win- 
dowsof  pawn  and  junkshopsthan  thoseof  pocket  size. 
Barrels  run  from  three  to  five  inches  in  length  gen- 
erally, with  a  surprising  showing  of  six  and  seven-inch 
barrels  and  a  few  still  longer.  Calibres  are  .38,  .44 
and  .45,  a  few  .41  and  a  minority  of  .32,  although  there 
seems  to  be  an  indication  now  that  more  of  the  latter 
calibre  are  eomiDg  in  6ince  the  almost  general  adoption 
of  smokeless  ammunition  than  ever  before,  especially 
as  some  splendid  new  models  have  been  placed  on  the 
market  within  the  last  five  years.  But  the  size  of  the 
junkshop  revolvers  impresses  the  Eastern  visitor  or 
stranger  as  remarkable  and  he  marvels  greatly  as  to 
the  ability  of  any  person  to  "pack  a  gun"  so  large 
and  heavy,  not  knowing  at  the  time  how  frequently 
belt  and  shoulder  holsters  are  employed  for  the  pur- 
pose and  that  a  great  many  of  these  two-and-a-half 
and  three-pound  weapons  served  at  one  time  as  home 
and  office  defenders. 

In  the  Eastern  shops  of  the  character  in  question 
one  sees  a  great  many  revolvers  with  hinged  frames 
and  automatic  ejectors  of  all  the  known  types,  some 
that  belong  to  the  S12  to  $18  grades  and  others  that 
can  be  sold  at  a  profit  for  $1  or  so.  Perhaps  it  is  this 
remarkable  similarity  that  helps  to  sell  the  cheap 
affairs,  for  owners  of  many  of  the  roughest  imitations 
of  high  grade  makes  have  been  heard  to  insist  that 
their  revolvers  were  genuine,  yet  these  persons  had 
never  before  noticed  the  imitative  names  stamped  in 
the  metal.  One  who  can  at  once  pick  out  the  high 
grade  revolvers  in  a  window  display,  even  from  the 
opposite  side  of  the  street,  may  question  whether 
many  persons  are  really  so  ignorant  of  types  and 
models,  but  asking  the  deluded  purchaser  of  the  imi- 
tation will  at  once  dispel  all  doubts,  for  it  iB  not  at  all 
unusual  for  the  purchaser  to  take  the  dealer's  word 
that  the  weapon  is  of  a  certain  standard  make,  and  let 
it  go  at  that,  despite  the  evidence  to  the  contrary 
stamped  in  the  barrel.  Few  of  the  modern  types  with 
solid  frames,  swing-out  cylinders  and  hand  ejectors 
are  noticed  in  these  metropolitan  shops',  and  those 
that  are  exhibited  generally  bear  price  marks  so  close 
up  to  list  prices  of  new  revolvers  that  only  ignorant 
persons  can  ever  beguiled  into  purchasing  them.  And 
up  to  the  present  time  these  types  have  not  been 
imitated  to  any  important  extent  and  the  standard 
goods  evidently  command  good  prices. 

m  the  West  these  solid  frame  weapons  met  with 
high  favor  on  first  being  distributed,  even  though 
they  are  all  of  the  double-action  type  once  despised  by 
all  owners  of  revolvers  on  the  western  side  of  the 
Mississippi.  The  junkshop  windows  bristle  with 
them.  The  heavy  weapons  are  in  the  majority,  the 
army  patterns  following,  and  with  the  police  and 
pockets  in  third  place.  It  is  claimed  that  it  is  not 
Western  men  who  buy  these  small  weapons,  but 
Eastern  people  who  come  here  for  a  time  or  to  stay, 
and  who  bring  with  them  the  idea  that  every  person 
in  the  West  requires  an  arsenal  for  protection.  Of 
course  they  see  their  error  shortly  after  their  arrival, 
and  thereupon  many  of  them  desire  to  be  rid  of  some- 
thing they  know  little  or  nothing  of  and  try  to  dis- 
pose of  it  without  loss,  but  as  weapons  that  have  been 
used  are  not  purchased  by  dealers  in  sporting  goods, 
there  is  the  choice  of  selling  to  some  individual  or  to 
the  secondhand  dealers.  Whether  this  applys  to  the 
majority  of  cases  is  not  known,  but  it  does  to  many, 
proving  that  not  every  firearm  seen  in  pa  vn  and 
junkshop  windows  was  sold  through  necessity,  as  is 
popularly  supposed. 

Another  reason  why  so  many  revolvers  go  to  junk- 
shops  is  found  in  the  fact  that  men's  wives  frequently 
fancy  they  cannot  sleep  soundly  so  long  as  there  is  a 
firearm  in  the  house,  and  that  as  soon  as  a  weapon  is 
purchased  and  hidden  away  in  a  drawer  they  imme- 
diately begin  to  fancy  that  burglars  are  about  to 
break  in,  which  to  them  implies  that  the  head  of  the 
house  must  get  out  of  bed  and  ''kill  a  man" — all  be- 
cause of  the  revolver  purchase — forgetting  that  one 
who  is  awakened  suddenly  from  a  sound  sleep  is  not 
at  all  likely  to  be  an  expert  marksman,  a  fact  that 
housebreakers  understand  fully  and  acii  on  as  a  safe- 
guard for  their  own  precious  skins  For  the  peace  of 
the  household  the  revolver  goes  to  the  secondhand 
shop,  and  if  the  long-expected  burglar  does  break  in, 
he  adds  no  firearms  to  his  collection  there;  that  is 
certain.  Which  is  a  reminder  of  the  story  told  by  an 
old  stage  driver  long  ago  in  the  northern  part  of  the 
State.  He  carried  mail  and  express  matter  of  value 
but  no  weapons,  and  declared  emphatically  that  so 
long  as  his  employers  did  not  see  fit  to  arm  him  at 
their  expense  he  would  carry  no  gun;  for,  he  said,  he 
had  handed  so  many  of  his  own  guns  over  to  high- 
waymen that  he  was  continually  "working  for  a  dead 
horse"  (paying  bills  for  revolvers  of  which  he  had 
been  relieved)  and  since  be  had  stopped  carrying  guns 
it  was  a  positive  pleasure,  on  being  held  up,  to  "give 
the  hold-ups  the  horse-laugh"  because  they  could  not 
get  another  six-shooter. 

In  the  San  Francisco  shops  one  notices  a  number  of 
the  comparatively  new  automatic  weapons  made  on 
both  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  and  not  a  few  of  those  shot- 
guns of  the  cheapest  grade  made  in  Belgium  whose 
stocks  are  finished  in  hard  enamel,  brown  or  black, 
with  here  and   there  a  carved   stock,  the  pistol  grip 


representing  an  animal's  head,  with  red  glass  eyes,  the 
locks  and  trigger  guard  being  nickel-plated.  But  the 
most  surprising  exhibit  is  of  American  revolvers  and 
automatic  pistols  that  have  been  on  the  market  only 
a  few  months.  Often  these  are  seen  in  junkshops 
almost  as  soon  as  others  like  them  are  exhibited  by 
regular  dealers  in  firearms.  The  reason  for  this  is, 
that  the  dealers  keep  posted  on  various  salable  lines 
of  goods — firearms,  musical  instruments,  cutlery, 
jewelry,  etc.  Having  price  lists  for  these  goods,  they 
bill  them  in  their  windows  just  a  jot  below  the  regular 
retail  prices.  ShotguDS  and  revolvers,  of  the  cheaper 
grades,  are  procured  from  the  wholesale  houses  regu- 
larly, there  seems  to  be  a  demand  for  them. 

Most  interesting  are  the  old  models  of  sporting  and 
target  rifles,  shotguns  of  antiquated  model  but  noted 
make  and  pistols  of  the  models  in  vogue  a  half  century 
ago.  These  weapons  do  not  stay  in  a  shop  window 
for  a  great  length  of  time,  for  they  are  bought  up  by 
collectors,  and  from  the  regularity  of  supplv  and 
evident  demand  this  is  apparently  a  lucrative  branch 
of  the  "junk"  business. 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 

Judging  from  the  interest  already  displayed  by  local 
trapshooters  the  season  for  1905  is  destined  to  be  a 
popular  one  with  the  devotees  of  the  sport. 

The  initial  meeting  at  Inglesine  is  billed  for  Wash- 
ington's Birthday,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Golcen 
Gate  and  Union  Gun  Clubs.  The  program  of  events 
will  embrace  several  pool  shoots.  In  one  of  these 
races  the  money  division  will  be  made  on  the  Injart 
system,  which  plan  will  have  an  initial  tryout  at 
Ingleside.  Besides  the  regular  entrance,  say  $1  in  a 
20  target  race,  there  will  be  three  other  side  poolE — 
one  in  which  the  purse  will  he  distributed  on  the  class 
shooting  basis;  another  purse  will  be  cut  up  under  the 
Rose  system  and  the  final  pool  division  will  go  to  high 
guns.  A  shooter  can  enter  any  or  all  of  the  side  pools 
as  he  may  elect.  This  system  has  been  popular  at 
many  trapshoots  elsewhere  and  considerablecuriousity 
is  manifested  as  to  how  it  will  work  among  Coast 
shooters. 

The  Golden  Gate  and  Union  Gun  Clubs  were  to 
arrange  last  evening  with  the  San  Francisco  Trap 
Shooting  Association  for  club  dates  at  Ingleside  this 
season.  The  latter  club  has  expressed  a  preference 
for  the  third  Sunday  of  each  montb,  during  the  com- 
ing season,  as  the  date  on  which  to  hold  the  club  blue 
rock  shoots.  

At  a  meeting  of  the  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  held 
Monday  evening,  the  following  officers  were  elected 
for  the  ensuing  year:  W.  S.  Wattles,  president;  E. 
Gamble,  vice-president;  Edgar  J.  Forster,  secretary- 
treasurer;  Thos.  L.  Lewis,  W.  E.  Murdock  and  E.  J. 
Forster,  directors. 

The  club  decided  to  dispense  with  an  initiation  fee 
and,  instead,  to  collect  $3  from  each  member,  the 
monthly  dues  for  the  first  and  last  two  months  of  the 
trap  season.  This  change  was  thought  to  be  a  good 
move  in  securing  attendance  at  the  first  and  two  final 
club  shoots.  The  history  of  most  club  trap  shooting 
seasons  shows  that  there  is  a  decided  falling  off  in 
attendance  at  the  end  of  the  season. 

The  club  program  for  this  year  provides  for  seven 
monthly  shoots— a  regular  club  race  at  100  targets 
(50  targets  Sergeant  system  and  50  targets  at  the 
regular  five-trap  bulkhead).  Other  events  will  also 
be  shot  at  each  meeting,  these  to  be  announced  from 
time  to  time.  A  purse  of  $100  will  be  hung  up  for 
each  regular  club  contest.  The  money  will  be  divided 
among  four  classes:  Champion  $35;  first  $25;  second 
$20  and  third  $20. 

This  division  and  arrangement  seems  to  be  condu- 
cive to  a  large  attendance  of  members  at  the  club 
shoots. 

In  addition  to  the  club  purse  a  donation  of  $50  has 
been  made  by  that  popular  sportsman,  A.  M.  Shields. 
The  amount  in  toto  or  in  the  shape  of  an  appropriate 
trophy  is  to  be  awarded  the  club  member  making  the 
high  average  this  season. 

The  classification  of  the  members  for  this  year  i6  as 
follows: 

Champion  Class — Clarence  A.  Haight,  C.  C.  Nan- 
man,  R"  C.  Reed,  M.  O.  Fendner,  W.  A.  Robertson, 
Emil  Holling,  A.  J.  Webb,  J.  Stephens  of  Portland. 
E.  J.  Forster,  J.  W.  Bradrick,  George  Sylvester,  E. 
Klevesahl,  M.  J.  Iverson. 

First  Class — W.  J.  Golcher,  W.  E.  Murdock,  Dr.  E. 
C.  Knowles,  John  Potter,  Ed.  Donohoe,  J.  Bruns,  Dr. 
C.  C.  Payne,  E.  Gamble,  W.  S.  Wattles,  Thos.  L. 
Lewis. 

Second  Class— A.  M.  Shields,  Dr.  A.  C.  Hutton,  H. 
Klevesahl,  C.  D.  Laing,  E.  Jacobson,  P.  Knauft,  J. 
Clark. 

Third  Class— Dr.  Sylvester,  T.  Turner,  L.  Cuneo, 
W.  Burton,  E.  Bowen,  B.  Patrick,  J.  Dwiggins. 

The  opening  of  the  live  bird  season  will  be  the  tra- 
ditional function  of  the  California  Wing  Club.  The 
date  6et  is  Sunday  March  19th  instead  of  the  first 
Sunday  as  has  been  the  custom  for  years  past. 

The  club  season,  we  have  been  informed,  will  con- 
sist of  seven  pigeon  shoots,  the  first  five  at  12  pigeons 
and  the  concluding  two  races  at  20  birds,  100  pigeons 
for  the  season.  The  club  purse  for  each  12  bird  race 
will  be  $50  and  $125  each  for  the  20  bird  meets— $500 
in  cash  for  the  season  for  high  guDS,  the  moneys  in 
each  race  will  be  divided,  it  is  believed,  in  accordance 
with  the  number  of  entries. 

As  usual  there  will  be  four  handsome  and  valuable 
medals  to  high  guns  for  the  season. 

There  has  been  some  discussion  in  favor  of  two  club 
live  bird  shoots  each  month.  It  is  probable  that  some 
arrangements,  however,  to  that  effect  will  be  con- 
summated for  there  is  a  strong  enough  contingent  of 
"feather"  shooters  to  make  the  project  possible. 

The  Alameda  Gun  Club  will  open  up  at  the  High 
street  trap  grounds  in  Alameda  on  Sunday,  March  5. 
An  open-to-all  merchandise  event  is  one  of  the  strong 
attractions  that  will,  no  doubt,  induce  a  large  atten- 
dance at  this  popular  club's  house  warming  for  1905.

Oa  Performing  Dogs. 

[Continued  From  Last  Week.] 
Our  second  visit  to  the  same  theater  took  place 
this  week,  where  Messrs.  Paris  and  Simon  are  now 
amusing  the  public  with  a  burlesque  Roman  sketch, 
in  which  a  smart  little  Fox  Terrier  takes  a  leading 
part.  "How  did  I  come  to  start  training  dogs?"  Herr 
Paris  replied  to  our  query  just  before  his  performance 
began.  "I  was  employed  for  some  time  in  a  circus, 
and  from  training  lio^s,  it  came  natural  to  try  my 
hand  at  teaching  tricks  to  dogs.  I  have  tried  all  kinds 
of  dogs  and  can  generally  tell  in  a  few  weeks  whether 
a  dog  will  pay  for  training.  I  am  a  dog  lover  and 
have  taken  prizes  for  dogs  which  I  have  shown  at  the 
Berlin  Kennel  Club  shows."  "What  breed  do  you 
consider  best  adapted  for  stage  work?"  was  our  next 
question.  "Well,  Poodles,  of  course,  are  clever  and 
easily  trained,  but  they  are  too  conceited,"  said  Herr 
Paris,  with  a  laugh;  "they  are  only  satisfied  when 
they  are  showing  ofl  their  cleverness  before  an 
audience.  Fox  Terriers  are  very  intelligent.  I  would 
not  take  £200  sterling  for  my  little  dog  here.  He  is 
the  only  one  I  have  known  to  turn  a  somersault  off 
me  on  the  ground,  and  then  tut  n  another  directly  he 
alights.     Besides,  I  am  too  fond  of  him. 

"Perhaps  the  best  dogs  for  stage  purposes  are  the 
cross  between  Fox  Terriers  and  Bull  Terriers.  They 
are  wonderfully  intelligent  and  can  be  taught  to  do 
many  things.  But  you  must  not  whip  them — no  dog 
can  be  properly  trained  by  fear  or  force.  'All  done 
by  kindness, '  as  you  English  people  say.  Yes,  I  have 
tried  Bull  Terriers.  They  are  very  good,  but  are 
too  inclined  to  bite.  Big  dogs  are  really  of  no  good. 
A  Great  Dane  or  a  German  Deutschedogge  will  do 
what  it  is  told,  and  so  will  a  St.  Bernard,  but  their 
size  is  against  them  for  stage  work — they  cannot  be 
taken  about  from  place  to  place  in  baskets  so  well  as 
the  small  dogs  can,  and  they  do  not  take  so  kindly  to 
their  work. 

"Borzois  are  intelligent,  but  what  I  call  dumb  dogs 
—the  won't  work  and  they  bite;  they  are  no  good*for 
training.  I  have  had  ten  years  of  dog  training  now, 
and  am  very  fond  of  the  work.  But  I  am  afraid  I  am 
only  telling  you  the  same  things  that  other  trainers 
would.  No!  I  have  no  special  secret  methods.  If  a 
dog  likes  me  and  I  like  the  dog,  t  can  readily  teach 
him  what  he  is  capable  of  learning. 

"There,  it  is  time  for  me  to  get  ready  for  my  turn — of 
course,  you  will  stay  and  see  my  clever  doggie?"  Of 
course  we  did,  and  the  hearty  applause  which  greeted 
the  performers  proved  that  the  audience  were  of  the 
same  opinion  as  we  are,  that  Herr  Paris  is  a  clever 
trainer  and  has,  indeed,  a  clever  doggie. 

Little  George  and  his  very  clever  dog  Rosie  are  at 
the  present  time  nightly  amusing  the  audience  at  the 
Tivoli.  George,  whose  surname  is  Spink,  hails,  we 
believe,  from  Birmingham,  and  is  a  clever  acrobat, 
and  Rosie  joins  him  in  the  workings  of  his  tricks. 
Rosie  is  a  pretty  creature,  a  cross  between  a  Fox 
Terrier  and  a  Blenheim  Spaniel,  now  five  years  old, 
and  was  bought  for  five  shillings  in  Birmingham 
when  four  months  old.  She  has  been  trained  "on 
the  stage"  for  two  years.  Her  training,  therefore, 
took  tnree  years  to  accomplish.  Quite  recently  a 
gentleman,  whose  name  George  mentioned,  offered  a 
thousand  pounds  for  Rosie,  but  her  owner  refused  it. 
"I  would  not  part  with  her,"  said  he,  "for  any  sum, 
however  large. "  Rosie  works  quite  of  her  own  free 
will,  obeying  the  slightest  word  of  command  on  the 
rare  occasions  when  such  a  reminder  becomes  neces- 
sary. Her  master  asserts  that  she  is  the  only  dog 
who  can  turn  a  forward  somersault  off  a  chair  and 
alight  upon  her  hind  legs  and  enjoy  doing  so.  Her 
balancing  powers  are  remarkable.  She  will  go  to  any 
one.  and  practically  understands  all  that  is  said  to 
her,  whether  by  ber  owner  or  a  stranger. 

Like  other  prominent  favorites  of  the  footlights, 
she  has  an  understudy  prepared  at  any  moment  to 
take  her  place  upon  an  emergency,  so  that  the  public 
may  not  be  disappointed.  It  may  be  added  that  an 
understudy  is  the  rule,  at  least  in  the  case  of  the 
single  performers,  as  Herr  Paris  and  Mr.  Braham's 
dogs  both  have  understudies,  and  Mr.  Herbert  also 
supplies  understudies  for  all  his  principals. 

Rosie's  accomplishments  are  many.  Little  George, 
dressed  in  hunting  costume,  first  enters  into  a  rustic 
scene  through  a  gate  which  he  closes  after  him.  Rosie 
follows  in  a  short  time,  walking,  opens  the  gate  for 
herself,  then  carefully  closes  it  after  her,  and  pro- 
ceeds across  the  stage  to  a  chair,  which  she  mounts. 
A  cigarette  is  placed  in  her  mouth  and  she  smokes  it. 
Her  owner  takes  a  gun  and,  facing  a  mirror,  with  his 
back  toward  her.  takes  aim  ard  fires  at  the  cigarette, 
and  Rosie  never  moves  during  this  perilous  perfor- 
mance. 

One  of  Rosie's  tricks  is  intended  to  explain  how  to 
evade  payment  upon  the  railroad.  A  basket  iB  placed 
closed  upon  the  stage,  and  her  master  says:  "Now, 
Rosie,  the  ticket  collector  is  coming;  hide  yourself  in 
the  basket."  The  dog  immediately  runs  totbe  basket, 
opens  it,  and  jumps  inside,  closing  the  lid;  peeping 
out,  however,  from  time  to  time.  Presently  George 
calls  "Tickets!"  Immediately  down  goes  the  lid,  and 
Rosie  remains  perdue  until  her  master  cries,  "All 
right,"  when  she  immediately  jumps  out  of  the  basket 
again.  Rosie  walks  the  tight  rope,  she  takes  a  cane  in 
her  mouth  to  serve  as  a  balancing  pole  and  then  walks 
gracefully  along  the  rope  suspended  across  the  stage. 
George  performs  some  very  creditable  gymnastic 
feats.  He  catches  hold  of  the  flying  rings,  and  Rosie 
jumps  upon  his  head,  and  after  going  through  several 
familiar  evolutions,  with  Rosie  always  sitting  upon 
the  top  of  his  head,  the  dog  turns  a  double  somersault 
to  the  ground.  Other  clever  and  amusing  tricks  fol- 
low, and  at  the  close  Little  George,  addressing  the 
dog,  says  "Rosie  you  have  been  a  bad  dog  today.  You 
must  therefore  go  to  btd;  but,  first,  you  must  say 
your  prayers."  The  dog  immediately  jumps  upon  a 
chair,  and  with  its  paws  placed  upon  the  upper  bar  of 
the  chair  back,  and  its  head    resting   upon   its   paws, 


remains  for  a  considerable  time  motionless. 

After  a  time  her  master  says,  "Now,  Rosie,  you 
have  been  too  long;  you  are  keeping  me  waiting;  get 
down  from  the  chair."  But  Rosie  never  stirs.  He 
repeats  the  command  several  times,  but  Rosie  pays  no 
attention.  At  last,  he  says,  "Ah,  I  see;  you  wish  me 
to  finish  your  p ravers  for  you.  Amen."  when  the 
dog  immediately  jumps  off  the  chair  and  retires  from 
the  stage. 

In  conversation  with  George  he  stated  that  a  dog  that 
is  to  be  trained  for  stage  work  must  be  taken  in  hand 
when  quite  yourg;  not  too  young,  however,  nine 
months  old  or  thereabouts,  and  that  the  whole  secret 
of  success  is  to  teach  the  dog  to  love  you,  but  not 
through  its  stomach;  to  play  with  it  and  let  it  under- 
stand, as  soon  it  will  do,  than  you  take  an  interest 
in  everything  it  does.  He  treats  his  dogs  in  no  excep- 
tional way,  they  are  exercised  as  ordinary  dogs  are 
exercised,  and  Rosie  accompanies  her  owner  in  his 
stroll  through  the  streets  of  London,  where  she  is  as 
well-known  by  the  cabmen  and  omnibus  men  on  the 
route  between  Brixton  and  Piccadilly  Circus  as  is 
George  himself.  He  considers  that  no  breed  of  dogs 
is  incapable  of  training,  and  he  has  no  preference  for 
one  breed  over  another,  as  far  as  sagacity  is  concerned. 
He  thinks  the  Poodle  learns  quickly,  and  for  that 
reason  has  been  frequently  used  for  stage  purposes; 
but  the  public  are  tired  seeing  that  particular  breed, 
so  that  he  does  not  care  to  employ  it.  Like  Herr 
Paris,  too.  he  considers  Ihe  Poodles  to  be  very  self- 
conscious.  Rosie  bids  fair  to  become  immortal,  as 
she  is  one  of  the  two  dogs  portrayed  in  the  well-known 
picture,  "Popularity." 

Mr.  Herbert,  whose  troup  of  performing  dogs  is 
one  of  the  chief  items  of  interest  in  the  program  at  the 
London  Hippodrome,  is  an  American,  and  is  a  trainer 
of  many  years'  experience.  Mr.  Herbert's  highly 
trained  troupe  gives  a  performance  on  more  familiar 
lines  than  those  we  have  previously  described.  This 
in  no  way  detracts  from  the  merits  of  the  entertain- 
ment, for  many  of  the  tricks  are  both  novel  and  ex- 
ceedingly clever.  The  scene  opens  with  a  promenade 
of  Durses  and  their  charger,  the  latter,  some  in  mail- 
carts  and  perambulators,  others  trotting  by  their 
maids'  sides,  the  dogs  in  each  case  being  appropriate- 
ly costumed.  This  is  followed  by  dogs  jumping 
through  baskets,  obstacle  races,  which  introduce 
some  very  humorous  tricks,  and  othercomic  eiements; 
the  shooting  of  a  "bad  dog"  who  stimulates  the  death 
struggle  and  death  itself  in  the  most  natural  manner; 
other  dogs  climb  ladders  held  horizontally  upon 
chairs,  or  turn  back  somersaults  and  similar  clever 
vaulting  feats,  with  other  "turns"  too  numerous  to 
mention.  The  '  clown"  of  the  piece  is  a  mongrel,  a  crots 
between  a  French  Poodle  and  a  Yorkshire  Terrier, 
eleven  years  old,  whose  aDtics  are  surely  as  much  the 
result  of  innate  humor  as  of  careful  training.  In  the 
course  of  conversation,  Mr  Herbert  informed  us  that 
he  adopted  his  profession  from  choice  at  the  age  of 
nineteen,  and  for  thirty  years  it  has  been  a  labor  of 
love  to  him.  He  prefers  to  have  a  dog  to  train  for 
stage  purposes  at  about  a  year  old,  certainly  not  older 
and  believes  that  all  breeds  are  equally  capable  of 
learning,  but  that  the  sagacity  of  individuals  differs 
greatly. 

He  can  almost  immediately  determine  whether  a 
dog  is  suitable  for  stage  purposes.  He  prefers  the 
smaller  breeds,  except  for  "carrying  tricks,"  because 
large  dogs  are  clumsier,  and  do  not  work  so  willingly 
as  small  dogs.  No  dog  can  be  properly  trained  which 
is  unkindly  treated,  but  great  firmness  is  necessary 
while  they  are  undergoing  their  training.  The  course 
of  training  usually  occupies  nearly  three  years,  and, 
speaking  generally,  his  experience  is  that  cross-bred 
dogs  are  more  alert  and  intelligent  than  thorough- 
breds. 

Mr.  Herbert  asserts  that  dogs  do  perfectly  under- 
stand what  is  said  to  them,  and  offered  to  prove  it. 
We  accompanied  him  to  the  basement  of  the  Hippo- 
drome, where  the  dogs  were  benched,  and  witnessed 
an  impromptu  performance:  the  dogs  did  exactly  what 
they  were  told  without  the  slightest  hesitation.  Not 
the  slightest  trace  of  coercion  was  observable  either 
in  the  public  or  private  performances,  and  it  was 
evident  that  complete  sympathy  existed  between  the 
dogs  and  their  owner. 

The  result  of  our  investigations  was  to  convince  us 
that  to  succeed  as  a  trainer  one  must  possess  intelli- 
gence, kindness,  sympathy  and  patience  in  a  marked 
degree,  and  that  within  "limitations  the  intelligence 
and  reasoning  faculty  in  dogs  can  ba  trained  and  de- 
veloped to  an  extent  not  usually  realized. — English

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


S.     F.    KENNEL     CLUB     SHOW. 

It  gives  us  great  pleasure  to  announce  that  Mr.  H. 
H.  Carlton  will  act  as  Superintendent  for  the  May 
show.  The  club,  exhibiting  fanciers  and  visitors  are 
to  be  congratulated  on  the  selection  forthis  important 
billet.  Mr.  Carlton  was  an  energetic  and  efficient 
official  for  the  initial  show  of  the  club  in  1897. 


SHOW    JBDGE9. 

Coming  events  cast  their  probabilities  before.  We 
noted  in  an  Eastern  exchange  recently  that  Mr.  Tom 
Ashton  was  scheduled  for  Buffalo  and  probably 
Seattle  and  Portland— the  surmise  follows  that  Mr. 
Ashton  was  the  gentleman  whom  the  S.  F.  K.  C. 
bench  show  committee  might  engage. 

Such  is  the  fact  and  we  can  announce  authoritatively 
that  Mr.  Ashton  will  be  the  all-round  judge  for  the 
'Frisco  Show  in  May. 

This  selection  is  one  that  will  be,  without  doubt, 
satisfactory  to  our  exhibitors  in  general.  Mr.  Ashton 
is  an  authority  across  the  water  and  is  well  known  on 
this  side  by  reputation  His  appearance  now  in  the 
East  being  his  first  visit  to  the  United  States,  his 
reception  by  Eastern  fanciers  will,  no  doubt,  be  a 
cordial  one,  and,  we  can  assume,  will  be  duplicated  on 
the  Coast.  Leeds  Muddler  and  a  number  of  other 
good  terriers  with  the  Leeds  prefix  hail  from  the 
the  Ashton  kennels  at   Leeds,  England.     Among  the 


dogs  he  recently  brought  over  was  the  noted  Airedale 
Sweet  Kildare. 

The  judges  for  the  Westminister  Kennel  Club  show 
next  week  and  also  for  the  Boston  show  have  already 
been  published  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.

Mr.  John  Davidson  will  judge  at  Denver,  Colorado,

KENNEL    SUGGESTIONS. 

Most  people  imagine  that  if  they  let  the  dog  out  of 
the  house  or  the  kennel  where  he  is  usually  confined 
that  this  is  as  much  exercise  as  he  needs.  A  great 
mistake,  especially  in  the  cold  winter  weather.  There 
is  no  more  efficient  way  to  exercise  than  by  walking, 
and  if  possible  this  exercies  should  be  taken  along  a 
road.  Violent  exercise  is  as  much  a  detriment  to  the 
dog's  well  being  as  too  little.  Some  good  hints  are  em- 
bodied in  what  our  English  namesake  said  a  while 
ago  in  talking  over  exercising  big  dogs  for  the  variety 
of  large  dogs  demand  in  all  probability  more  at- 
tention in  the  way  of  exercise  than  the  medium 
weight  and  smaller  breeds;  and  for  the  simple  reason 
that  unless  their  limbs  are  strengthened  so  that  they 
can  support  the  weight  of  the  huge  bodies  they  have 
to  carry,  the  ankles  and  hocks  give  way,  and  the  feet 
become  splayed  and  unsightly.  Good  sensible  feed- 
ing, of  course,  goes  a  long  way  in  contributing  to- 
wards the  strength  of  the  limbs,  but  adequate  ex- 
ercise is  simply  indispensable,  and  it  should  take  tne 
form  of  long  walks  at  a  moderate  pace.  Big  dogs  will 
not  as  a  rule,  gambol  about  and  enjoy  themselves 
after  the  manner  of  a  Terrier;  and  eyen  if  some  do  so, 
it  is  the  long  slow  drag  that  lays  tbe  muscle  on  and 
adds  strength  to  the  limbs  and  joints.  At  the  same 
time  there  is  no  wisdom  in  tiring  a  dog  out  day  after 
day  by  taking  him  a  grind  that  is  beyond  his 
strength  to  accomplish  without  being  knocked  out. 
An  hour  or  so  four  days  a  week,  a  longer  period  on 
the  other  two  week  days,  and  a  rest  in  the  kennel 
yard  or  paddock  on  Sunday  will  keep  any  dog  fit;  but 
this  is  the  allowance  for  adults.  Growing  puppies  re- 
quire less  at  all  times  at  all  events,  and  a  couple  of 
half-hours  on  the  roads  will  usually  suffice  to  help 
them  along;  but,  of  course,  circumstances  alter  cases. 
It  is  most  desirable  that  the  walks  should  be  on  the 
road,  and  not  on  grass,  as  the  former  kind  of  exercise 
hardens  the  soles  of  the  feet  and  helps  to  keep  them 
in  shape  if  the  work  is  slow.  On  the  other  hand,  if  it 
is  too  fast,  the  feet  get  knocked  about,  and  the  con- 
cussion renders  the  animals  liable  to  develop  splints, 
as  in  the  case  of  a  horse,  this  being  an  undoubted, 
fact  of  which  possibly  every  dog  owner  may  not  be 
aware. 

The  smaller  varieties,  such  as  Collies  and ,  of  course, 
Terriers,  all  benefit  by  work  on  the  road,  but  It  may 
be  faster,  and  so  when  the  animals  are  old  enough 
they  can  be  allowed  to  follow  a  trap  or  cycle,  but  it  is 
as  bad  for  them  as  it  is  cruel  to  bring  them  along  for 
several  miles  at  top  speed.  Still  more  reprehensible 
is  the  practice,  adopted  by  some  unthinking  people, 
of  fastening  their  unfortunate  dogs  to  the  axle  of  a 
vehicle,  beneath  which  they  are  compelled  to  travel 
long  distances  in  a  cloud  of  dust  or  over  rough  stones 
without  an  opportunity  of  relieving  the  wants  of 
nature.  This  is  not  exercising  dogs,  but  sheer  bar- 
barity on  the  part  of  their  owners;  but  happily  this 
practice  is  now  less  common  than  it  used  to  be,  prob- 
ably because  the  management  of  dogs  is  better  under- 
stood .—  American  Stock-Keeper.

NORTHERN  SHOWS. 

The  circuit  of  bench  shows  up  north  will  have  the 
following  dates,  it  is  reported:  Vancouver  April  12- 
15,  inclusive.  Victoria,  April  19-21,  inclusive.  Seat- 
tle, April  26-29,  inclusive.     Portland,  May  3-6,  inclu- 

The  Victoria  bench  show  committee  have  been  in 
communication  with  an  Eastern  judge  for  their  show. 

The  Victoria  club  will  hold  another  parlor  show  the 
end  of  t"his month.  Previous  shows  have  been  popu- 
lar and  successful.  In  this  respect  the  club  has  es- 
tablished a  precedent  that  might  be  followed  with 
much  advantage  by  other  Coast  kennel  clubs. 

At  present  it  loots  as  if  only  the  British  Columbia 
clubs  are  left  in  the  W.  K.  L.  The  Victoria  club 
will  show  under  C.  K.  C.  rules.  It  is  probable  that 
the  other  B.  C.  kennel  clubs  will  follow  suit  and  that 
a  Coast  advisory  board  will  be  sanctioned  by  the  Tor- 
onto officials. 

Under  present  C.  K.  C.  rules  Canadian  exhibitors 
can  compete  in  the  circuit  shows  across  the  border 
and  their  wins  will  receive  borne  recognition— two  out 
of  the  require!  five  wins  for  a  Canadian  championship 
mav  be  made  under  outside  rules. 

From  present  indications  there  is  now  an  intente 
cordiale  up  north  between  existing  governing  kennel 
jurisdictions.  

SHOW    CIRCPIT    NOTES. 

In  answer  to  several  inquiries  for  premium  lists, 
etc.,  for  the  Eastern  shows  coming  off  in  the  near 
future,  we  give  the  following  addresses  of  various 
show  officials.  Communication  sent  to  either  of  the 
gentlemen  named  will,  we  have  no  doubt,  elicit  prompt 
response:

CRUEL    TREATMENT    OF    A    DOG. 

In  announcing  the  recovery  of  J.  M.  Golobeck's  Ch. 
Cato  Jr.,  we  regret  exceedingly  to  note  the  perpetra- 
tion of  a  cruel  and  dastardly  outrage  upon. an  un- 
offending dumb  animal.  The  Setter  had  disappeared 
from  the  kennels  at  Eckley  station  and  despite  a 
vigorous  hunt  for  him,  even  to  the  extent  of  search- 
ing a  vessel,  ready  for  sea,  last  Sunday  morning,  no 
trace  of  Cato  was  discovered. 

The  Door  dog,  true  to  his  nature,  turned  up  after 
an  absence  of  seven  days  and  in  a  condition  that  was 
pitiable  in  the  extreme.  A  forlorn,  wretched  looking 
animal  limped  into  a  butcher  shop  in  Crockett  one 
afternoon  last  week,  he  was  at  first  regarded  as  one  of 
the  filching  town  curs  and  was  about  to  be  run  off  by 
the  butcher's  boy.  The  dog  looked  over  to  the 
butcher  appealingly  and  feebly  wagged  his  tail,  a 
second  glance  showed  something  familiar  about  the 
bedraggled  animal  and  on  closer  inspection  the  canine 
supplicant  was  recognized.  He  was  found  to  be  in  60 
awful  a  condition  that  it  puzzled  those  present  to 
understand  how  he  was  able  to  move  about. 
One  eye  was  hinging  from  its  socket,  dangling 
on  the  optic  cord,  on  the  back  of  the  dog's  neck 
there  was  a  jagged  wound — where  the  skin  and 
muscles,  the  size  of  one's  fist,  had  evidently  been  shot 
away.  The  maltreated  dog  must  have  been  in  that 
condition  at  least  five  or  six  days  before  he  had  re- 
covered sufficient  strength  to  hunt  up  his  nearest  friend 
— for  the  dog  is  weli-known  and  liked  all  through  that 
s  etion.  Cato  was  at  once  given  the  best  treatment 
available  and  then  brought  down  to  the  city  and 
placed  in  charge  of  Dr.  Steers.  At  first  it  was  believed 
that  the  dog  would  not  recover.  Under  the  vet's  skill- 
ful treatment  Cato  has  been  getting  on  nicely,  there 
is  now  a  chance  for  saving  him.  Dr.  Steers  states 
that  in  all  his  experience  the  case  was  the  most 
pitiable  he  has  ever  known.  The  perpetrator  of  the 
outrage  is  known  and  will  be  prosecuted  to  the  full 
extent  of  the  law.  The  fellow  is  suspected  of  having 
shot  and  killed  a  number  of  other  dogs — a  bitch 
running  loose  was  the  cause  of  the  dog's  appearance 
at  the  brutal  shooter's  ranch.  His  aim  at  Cato  was 
effective  to  the  extent  of  "creasiDg"  the  dog  who  was 
picked  up  supposedly  dead  and  thrown  into  a  hole 
with  the  other  slain  dogs.  Examination  of  the  eye 
did  not  disclose  any  shot  marks,  the  supposition  is 
that  the  brute's  heel  or  a  blow  from  the  butt  of  his 
gun  accounts  for  the  loss  of  the  dog's  eye. 

Cato  must  have  lain  where  he  was  thrown  for 
several  days,  during  which  time  it  rained  heavily 
frequently."  The  dog's  endurance  and  vitality  under 
the  circumstances  is  little  short  of  marvellous. 

A  perusal  of  the  second  annual  sale  list  received  this 
week  from  Sabine  Kennels,  Orange,  Texas,  shows  a 
list  of  desirable  ones  at  reasonable  prices.  There  are 
no  culls  offered,  all  are  correctly  described  and  of 
exceptional  merit.  Any  unregistered  stock  will  be 
red  with  or  without  the  Sabine  prefix  as  the 
purchaser  may  desire.  The  option  of  money  refunded 
if  any  dog  bought  is  not 
found  as  described  in  the  catalogue.  The  sale  list  is 
worthy  of  the  perusal  of  all  fanciers  and  can  be  had  by 
addressing  request  for  same  to  the  Sabine  Kennels' 
Manager.  

Mr.  F.  H.  Jermyn,  of  Scrantun,  Pa.,  .1.  W.  Flynn 
and  S.  Christenron,  of  .ill   spend   the  day 

to-morrow  with  W.  H  Coutts  at  Kenwood  Kennels, 
Sonoma.  Mr.  Flynn  is  the  lucky  possessor  at  present 
of  two  litters  of  Pointer  puppies  sired  by  Ch.  Senator 
P.  The  youngsters  were  whelped  at  Kenwood  and 
are  out  of  two  high  class  bitches  brought  out  here 
frcn  the  East  not  long  ago. 


Proposed  Game  Law  Changes. 


A  report  from  Sacramento  early  this  .veek  gives 
the  following  synopsis  of  the  proposed  changes  in  the 
present  game  and  fish  laws: 

A  variety  of  bills  bearing  on  the  preservation  of 
fish  and  game  have  been  introduced  in  both  houses  of 
the  Legislature,  but  thus  far  owing  to  the  presence 
of  other  business,  they  have  not  progressed  very 
much  toward  enactment. 

The  Senate  Committee  on  Fish  and  Game,  of  which 
Hon.  Chas.  M.  Shortridge  is  chairman,  has  found  it 
impossible  to  meet  for  the  consideration  of  any  of  the 
bills  before  it,  but  it  is  expected  that  the  Committee 
will  have  little  difficulty,  when  it  gets  together,  in  de- 
ciding upon  what  matters  should  be  reported  favor- 
ably, as  there  is  a  disposition  to  recognize  the  sugges- 
tions of  the  Fish  Commissioners  in  most  particulars. 
In  fact,  most  of  the  bills  now  on  the  files  of  the  Senate 
and  Assembly  are  Fish  Commission  bills,  and  it  was 
expected  that  the  Senate  and  Assembly  Committee 
during  the  present  week  would  report  back  a  substi- 
tute bill  embracing  all  of  the  contemplated  changes  in 
the  fish  and  game  laws  on  which  it  desires  favorable 
action. 

There  are  six  fish  and  eleven  game  bills  before  the 
Senate  and  a  lesser  number  before  the  Assembly,  ail 
of  the  latter  being  identical  with  bills  pending  before 
the  upper  house. 

The  changes  proposed  in  the  several  fish  bills  are 
apparently  not  very  voluminous.  Senate  bill  121,  by 
Coggins,  a  Fish  Commission  bill,  proposes  to  ado  the 
month  of  January  to  the  open  season  for  black  bass, 
the  closed  season  at  present  being  from  January  1st 
to  July  1st;  changes  the  closed  season  on  trout  so  that 
it  will  begin  and  end  one  month  later,  May  1st  to 
December  1st,  and  makes  it  unlawful  to  take  any 
trout  less  than  five  inches  in  length. 

Senate  bill  439,  another  Fish  Commission  bill  by 
Coggins,  dispenses  with  the  pr  sent  closed  season  on 
shrimps  and  makes  it  unlawful  to  ship  any  dried 
shrimps  or  shrimp  shells  to  any  other  state,  territory 
or  foreign  country,  which  restriction,  it  is  thought, 
will  cause  about  twenty  of  the  twenty-eight  licensed 
shrimp  boats  of  Chinese  fishei men  to  go  out  of  busi- 
ness and  prevent  the  wholesale  destruction  of  small 
food  fish  now  prevented  by  the. closed  season  on 
shrimps. 

The  aims  of  other  fish  bills  are  as  follows:  Senate 
bill  535,  by  Shortridge,  making  it  unlawful  to  set  nets 
or  draw  a  seine  for  the  purpose  of  catching  fish  in  the 
waters  of  any  bay  or  in  the  waters  of  the  ocean  along 
the  coast  of  California  within  1000  feet  of  any  pier  or 
wharf;  Senate  bill  455  by  Nelson,  reducing  the  weight 
of  striped  bass  that  may  be  taken  from  three  pounds 
to  two  pounds;  Senate  bill  357,  by  Savage,  relating  to 
the  licensing  of  persons  engaged  in  the  avocation  of 
fishing  who  use  boats  and  nets. 

The  changes  contemplated  in  the  game  laws  are 
more  complicated.  Senate  bill  292,  by  Shortridge,  a 
bill  favored  by  the  Commission,  adds  the  English  or 
jack  snipe,  dowitcher,  or  redbreasted  snipe,  robin 
snipe,  godwit  or  marlin,  willet,  sandpiper,  sanderling, 
yellow  legs,  surfbird,  turnstone,  oyster  catcher,  avo- 
cet,  stilt,  bittern  and  wild  pigeon  to  the  list  of  birds, 
the  taking  or  ailling  of  which  is  prohibited  between 
February  loth  and  October  15th;  makes  it  unlawful  to 
take  or  kill  any  swau  or  any  variety  of  imported  quail; 
places  a  baglimitof  twenty-five  on  wild  ducks,  grouse, 
doves,  snipe  and  the  other  marsh  and  shore  birds 
above  mentioned;  makes  the  closed  season  on  deer 
from  October  15th  to  August  15th  of  the  following 
year,  instead  of  from  November  15th  to  July  15th: 
prohibits  the  taking  or  killing  of  any  species  of  tree 
squirrel,  on  which  there  is  now  an  open  season  from 
August  1st  to  February  1st;  makes  it  unlawful  for 
any  person  to  take  or  kill  more  than  two  deer  during 
a  season,  instead  of  three,  as  at  present;  changes  the 
law  slightly  in  reference  to  shipments  of  game,  and 
make6  a  number  of  changes  in  the  minimum  penalties 
fixed  for  the  violation  of  the  various  game  laws. 

Senate  bill  294,  by  Shortridge,  places  wild  ducks, 
doves,  snipe  and  other  varieties  of  marsh  and  shore 
birds  on  the  unsalable  list. 

The  Commissioners  favor  the  placing  of  doves  and 
snipe  on  the  unsalable  list,  but  want  ducks  to  be  sold 
with  less  restrictions  than  at  present.  There  are 
two  bills  by  which  the  Commission  hopes  to  attain 
this  end.  One  is  Senate  bill  500,  by  Wolfe,  providing 
for  the  licensing  of  hotel  and  restaurant  keepers,  mar- 
ket hunters  and  game  dealers  and  commission  mer- 
chants, the  restaurant  and  hotel  keepers,  game  deal- 
ers and  commission  merchants  being  allowed  to  have 
more  than  the  bag  limit  of  ducks  in  their  possession 
on  any  one  day.  This  is  not  a  Commission  bill,  but  it 
is  in  line  with  the  Commission's  ideas  on  the  subject. 
The  other  measure  is  Senate  bill  1S3,  by  Coggins, 
which  provides,  among  a  number  of  other  minor 
changes  in  the  game  laws,  that  hotel  keepers,  restaur- 
ant keepers  or  other  persons  or  corporations  licensed 
by  the  State  to  serve  or  sell  ducks,  may  have  in  their 
possession  more  than  twenty-five  ducks  on  any  one 
day,  but  shall  not  receive  more  than  twenty-five 
ducks  from  any   one   person  on  any  one  day 

Another  bill  which  the  Fish  Commissioners  favor  is 
Senate  bill  293,  by  Shortrige,  providing  for  the 
licensing  of  market  hunters  for  the  more  effectual  en- 
forcement of  the  Penal  Code's  provisions  relating  to 
bag  limits.  A  market  hunter,  it  is  explained,  can  be 
watched  much  better  if  he  is  required  to  mark  the 
number  of  his  license  on  every  shipment  of  ducks  he 
makes. 

Another  bill  in  line  with  this  is  Senate  bill  118,  by 
Belshaw,  by  which  the  Commission  hopes  to  be  given 
authority  to  search,  without  warrant,  any  boat,  con- 
veyance, vehicle,  car,  box,  locker,  basket,  creel,  crate, 
gamebag  or  other  package,  or  the  contents  of  any 
store,  market  place  or  building,  other  than  a  dwelling 
to  ascertain  whether  any  of  the  provisions  of  any  law 


for  the  protection  of  the  fish  and  gsme  have  been  vio- 
lated. 

Other  game  bills  before  the  Senate  are:  Senate  bill 
551,  by  Sanford,  permitting  Supervisors,  with  the 
consent  of  property  owners,  to  establish  game  pre- 
serves containing  not  less  than  ten  or  more  than  400 
square  miles,  within  which  it  shall  be  unlawful  to  kill 
any  deer,  or  carry  firearms;  Senate  bill  372,  by  Sel- 
vage, making  it  a  felony  to  kill  an  elk;  Senate  bill  296, 
by  Leavitt,  making  it  unlawful  to  hunt  between  5  p. 
m.  and  6:30  a.  m.,  instead  of  between  half  an  hour  be- 
fore sunrise  and  half  an  hour  after  sunset,  which  the 
author  considers  too  indefinite:  Senate  bill  305,  by  Sel- 
vage, making  it  unlawful  to  hunt  or  pursue  any  wild 
ducks  with  any  kind  of  a  sneak  boat,  or  any  kind  of  a 
sculi  boat,  or  any  boat  propelled  by  steam,  electricity 
or  gasoline  power;  Senate  bill  291,  by  Woodward, 
making  it  lawful  for  any  person  to  kill  any  kind  of 
game  at  any  time  of  the  year,  on  inclosed  land  of 
which  he  is  the  owner  or  lawful  occupant. 

Out  of  this  mass  of  proposed  legislation  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Fish  and  Game  Committees  or  endeavor- 
ing to  frame  some  measure  or  measures  that  will  he 
within  reason,  and  it  was  presumed  during  this  week 
some  of  the  results  of  their  labors  in  this  direction 
would  be  arrived  at  but  at  this  time  we  have  not  been 
so  advised. 

_  The  biggest  fights  will  probably  be  over  the  ques- 
tion of  reducing  the  bag  limit  on  ducks  to  twenty-five, 
reducing  the  number  of  deer  one  person  may  kill  in 
any  one  season,  the  licensing  of  restaurants,  hotels, 
dealers  and  market  hunters,  giving  the  Commission 
the  right  of  search,  and  the  opening  of  the  shrimp 
season. 

Among  the  market  hunters  at  and  about  Knight's 
Landing  much  concern  is  manifested  over  the  pro- 
posed bag  limit  change  in  the  game  law  and  several 
petitions  will  be  forwarded  from  that  vicinity  asking 
that  the  bag  limit  remain  as  it  is.  That  section  is  about 
the  most  extensive  market  hunting  one  in  the  State 
some  fifty  or  more  hunters  depending  almost  entirely 
on  the  market  returns  for  the  winter  support  for  their 
families. 

While  the  mallard  and  sprig  are  not  nearly  so 
numerous  as  they  were  some  years  ago,  the  teal  and 
"baldies''  are  much  more  plentiful  and  are  yearly  in- 
creasing in  numbers.  Today,  it  is  asserted,  a  good 
hunter  could  go  to  the  shores  of  the  Sutter  overflow, 
and,  if  the  law  permitted,  could  bag  frcm  200  to  250 
birds  in  a  single  day  as  easily  as  100  could  have  been 
secured  ten  years  ago. 

The  cause  of  the  abundance  of  the  "baldies"  and 
teal  and  the  scarcity  of  the  mallard  and  sprig  is  be- 
cause the  latter  varieties  will  not  fe<d  upon  the  tule 
seeds  which  provides  so  plentifully  and  satisfactorily 
for  the  former.  The  vegetation  that  a  few  years  ago 
furnished  feed  for  the  mallard  and  sprig  has  been 
devoured  by  the  carp. 

Had  the  sportsmen,  it  is  claimed,  waged  war  against 
these  finny  pests  as  they  have  fought  the  market 
hunters,  they  would  have  no  trouble  in  securing  the 
bag  limit  of  these  highly  favored  birds. 

A  press  dispatch  from  Sacramento  yesterday  states: 
"Still  another  junket  was  sanctioned  by  the  Assembly 
today.  This  time  it  is  the  Committee  on  Fish  and 
Game  that  is  favored.  It  was  granted  leave  of  absence 
from  next  Saturday  to  Monday  to  visit  the  State 
hatchery  at  Sisson.  Olmstead  tried  to  have  the  res- 
olution laid  on  the  table,  but  without  success.  It  took 
about  half  an  hour  and  two  calls  of  the  House  to  beat 
up  an  enough  votes  to  carry  the  authorization  for  the 
pleasure  trip.  It  is  urged  in  justification  of  the  expe- 
dition up  North  that  all  but  one  or  two  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Fish  and  Game  are  so  unfortunate  as  not  to 
be  members  of  any  of  the  committees  that  have  here- 
tofore gone  junketing."

tating the  construction  of  another  paddock  for  the

THE   FARM. 


Dairy  Notes. 

If  hay  or  fodder  is  dusty  it  Bhould  be 
sprinkled  before  it  is  fed  to  cows. 

White  butter  comes  from  keeping  the 
cream  at  too  high  a  temperature  while  it 
is  ripening. 

The  cream  will  raise  better  on  milk  if  it 
is  cooled  by  dipping  and  stirring  and 
placing  in  cool  water. 

Cheese  cloth  of  two  or  three  thick- 
nesses makes  good  strainers.  They  are 
easily  washed  and  dry  readily. 

Milk  should  not  be  left  exposed  to  th 
open  air,  as  it  absorbs  odors,  is  sensitiv 
to  air  germs  and  d.'awa  insects. 

A  brush  is  the  best  thing  with  which  ti 
wasn  milk  vessels.  It  does  not  smea> 
butter  and  cream  as  a  cloth  does.  The 
vessels  should  be  dried,  not  wiped. 

Fresh,  warm  milk  should  not  be 
strained  into  the  cream  jir,  aa  it  hastens 
the  aouring,  and  causes  the  milk  to  ripen 
unevenly.  Cool  it,  then  pour  it  in  and 
Btir  it  thoroughly. 

The  use  of  wooden  vessels  in  handling 
milk  is  being  abandoned.  The  churn  is 
Btill  used,  but  wooden  pails  are  going 
out  of  use,  as  is  also  the  use  of  ruaty  pails, 
eans  and  strainers. 

To  make  a  scrub  milk  cow  out  of  a 
thoroughbred  is  very  easy.  Poor  feed, 
poor  milking  and  a  lack  of  care  will  do  it 
in  a  few  years.  It  takes  longer  than  this 
to  make  a  thoroughbred  out  of  a  scrub. 

A  Minnesota  butter-maker  of  McLeod 
county,  J.  C.  Joslin,  got  the  grand  prize 
at  the  World's  Fair  for  the  highest  aver- 
age score  on  the  productof  any  butter- 
maker.  There  were  over  5000  competitors. 

England  reliea  largely  upon  imported 
butter.  Denmark  alone  furniahea  a  large 
part  of  it.  It  retails  in  England  for  25c 
to  30c  per  pound.  The  total  coBt  approxi- 
mates $90,000,000. 

Milk  is  an  ideal  food  for  most  young 
animals,  and  particularly  it  ia  congenial 
to  young  piga  and  older  ones.  A  dairy 
farm  where  butter  or  cheese  is  manu- 
factured ia  an  inviting  place  for  as  many 
piga  as  can  be  accommodated. 


Twenty  thousand  quarta  of  milk  are 
used  daily  in  the  United  States  for 
making  milketones,  from  whicli  many 
articlea  are  manufactured,  which  formerly 
required  ivory,  horn,  celluloid,  hard 
rubber,  etc.  Milkatone  is  manufactured 
into  knife  and  fork  handles,  paper  cutters, 
pipes,  cigar  holders,  etc. 

All  agree  that  salt  is  important  for 
cows.  The  Mississippi  Experiment 
Station  found  that  three  dairy  iows  kept 
without  Bait  for  two  weeks  gav«  454 
pounds  of  milk;  the  same  cows  during 
the  next  two  weeks  with  salt  give  564 
pounds  of  milk,  showing  a  net  gain  of  110 
pounds  of  milk  in  two  weeks.  Salt  should 
be  within  easy  reach  of  the  cows  at  all 
times. 

Dairying  ia  a  busiueaa  in  which  there 
ia  always  something  to  stir  ones  am- 
ition.  There  is  a  standard  for  milk, 
or  butter  and  for  cows.  That  standard 
s  set  higherfrom  time  to  time  and  should 
>e  Butter  ought  to  get  better,  because 
■own  should  improve,  and  milk  should 
improve.  Such  thoughts  create  an  am- 
otion such  that  no  difference  what  has 
been  done,  it  is  hoped  that  more  will  be 
done.  Every  dairyman  should  strive  to 
be  the  one  who  will  do  better  thinga. 


and  the  police  were  notified.  But  they 
didn't  find  him. 

In  the  course  of  an  hour  the  telephone 
at  the  barn  rang,  and  the  proprietor 
of  Cunningham'a  blackamith  ahop  an- 
nounced that  Bob  was  all  "sharpened 
up"  and  ready  to  leave.  In  anawer  to 
queations,  he  said  that  Bob  had  walked 
into  the  shop  a  short  time  before,  taken 
his  place  in  the  line,  and  they  had  shod 
bim. 

"Well,  turn  bim  loose,"  aaid  the  barn 
man.  In  a  few  minuteB  Bob  trotted  into 
the  stable  with  a  large-sized  smile  on  hia 
face.— Omaha  Bee. 


Cattle  Exports  Break  Record. 


Instinct  or  Reason? 


Bob  is  the  name  of  a  gray  horae  that 
belongs  to  the  United  States  Express 
Company  in  Omaha.  Bob  has  been  in 
the  service  for  a  good  many  years,  and 
knows  his  business.  His  latest  illustra- 
tion of  his  sagacity  ia  the  best  ever,  bit 
owners  think,  and  if  Bob  waBn't  a  teeto- 
taler, would  consider  that  the  drinks 
were  on  them. 

Since  the  icy  pavements  have  been  in 
vogue  the  company  has  been  unable  to 
get  all  its  horses  shod,  and  becauBe  Bob 
was  one  of  the  steadiest  animals  in  the 
stable,  he  was  left  until  the  last.  In  spite 
of  his  best  efforts  he  slipped  down  twice 
Wednesday. 

While  he  munched  hia  oats  he  had  the 
air  of  one  in  deep  thought.  When  he 
was  led  into  the  barn  floor  to  be  har- 
nesBed  for  his  daily  task  he  bolted  for  the 
open  door  and  disappeared.  The  attend- 
ants gazed  in  astonishment  that  Bob,  of 
all  the  horses,  should  do  such  a  thing. 
Search  failed  to  disclose  his  whereabouts. 


There  is  at  present  a  phenomenal  de- 
mand for  export  cattle,  says  the  Chicago 
Live  Stcck  World.  The  shipments  from 
Chicago  last  week  were  about  the  largest 
in  the  history  of  the  trade  for  one  week 
and  were  distinctly  the  heaviest  for  any 
week  at  this  Beason  of  the  year.  The 
number  tagged  waa  11,039  head,  against 
7923  last  week  and  6820  a  year  ago. 

There  has  been  no  especial  improve- 
ment in  prices  across  the  water  to  stimu- 
late such  big  shipments  at  this  time,  but 
the  fact  ia  that  exporters  have  contracted 
for  considerable  apace  which  they  are 
compelled  to  utilize.  There  ia  no  big 
fortune  in  the  export  business  at  the 
margin  of  profit  now  existing  between 
Chicago  and  London,  but  still  there  is 
apparently  enough  in  it  to  attract  a  good 
many  buyers  to  it.  Many  Canadians  are 
operating  at  the  present  time  and  that 
has  helped  to  swell  the  volume  of  business 
greatly  The  Canadian  ports  have  been 
closed  since  last  November  and  exporters 
from  that  country  seeing  an  opportunity 
of  making  a  little  money  on  the  American 
side  of  the  fence  have  taken  hold  quite 
freelv  during  the  past  month.  Cattle  are 
cneap  at  this  end  of  the  line  and  that  has 
been  a  temptation  to  many  traders, 
though  shipments  have  been  so  heavy 
since  the  first  of  the  year  that  the  foreign 
markets  have  been  kept  down  to  a  pretty 
low  level.  It  has  been  fortunate  for  the 
trade  here  that  this  demand  has  been  so 
good,  for  it  was  really  the  buoyant  factor 
in  the  business.  The  export  cattle  are 
costing  around  $4  75  @  5  25  and  this  helps 
out  the  middle  class  of  cattle  matterially. 


More  Cattle  Than  People. 

E.  O.  McCormick,  assistant  traffic  di- 
ectorofthe  Harriman  eystem,  has  com- 
piled some  interesting  statistics  on 
the  development  of  the  livestock  industry 
in  the  West,  beginning  with  the  comple- 
tion of  the  Union  Pacific  railroad  in  1869. 

There  was  then  in  the  whole  United 
States  S9,729,309  farm  animals,  valued  at 
$1,527,704,029  in  the  depreciated  currency 
of  that  date,  the  resumption  of  specie 
payinentB  not  taking  effect  until  Jan.  1, 
1879. 

In  the  states  and  territoriea  on  and 
tributary  to  the  Union  Pacific  railroad 
there  are  now  92.680,281  farm  animala, 
with  a  farm  value  of  $1,211,523,137  in 
gold.  Thia  exceeds  by  2,850.962  the  total 
number  oi  farm  animals  in  the  United 
Statea  in  1869. 

In  January,  1S79,  ten  yeare  after  the 
completion  of  the  Union  Pacific  railroad, 
there  were  118,976,800  animals  in  the 
United  Statea,  with  a  farm  value  of 
$1,445  423,062  in  gold.  In  1903  the  num- 
ber had  risen  to  179,1S2,801  animals,  with 
a  farm  value  of  $2,998,247,479  in  gold, 

Twenty  years  after  the  completion  of 
the  road,  in  January  1889,  there  were 
150,152,581  animals,  with  a  farm  value  of 
$2,507,050,058. 

In  January,  1S94,  there  were  164,284,673 
animals,  with  a  farm  value  of  $2,4S3,506,- 
681.  This  is  less  than  1903  by  14,898,128 
animals,  and  $514, 740, 798 in  value.  Taking 
four  of  the  principal  states,  Iowa,  Nebras- 
ka, KanaaB  and  Texas,  their  progress  in 
the  last  ten  years  is:

a  16-pound  fleece,  10  pounds  of  which  waa 
over  20  inches  long  and  sold  to  Mr.

The  Fat  of  Butter. 


Probably  do  more  complete  account  of 
the  nature  of  butterfat,  and  the  cauBes 
which  affect  its  character,  haa  been  pub- 
lished in  pamphlet  form  than  that  issuing 
from  the  pen  of  Dr.  Thorpse,  F.  R  S.,  the 
chief  chemist  at  Somerset  House,  says 
Herald-Star,  Montreal,  Canada.  The 
author  shows  very  clearly  what  is  meant 
by  the  usual  statement  that  the  fat  of 
butter— for  butter  contains  water  and 
curdy  matter  in  addition  to  fat— consists 
of  a  mixture  of  certain  glycerides,  or 
combinations  of  glycerine,  with  certain 
acids.  To  the  reader  who  believeB,  or 
supposes,  that  the  fat  of  butter  ie  a  simple 
substance,  this  statement  may  appear 
something  new.  But  fat  is  a  very  com- 
plex substance,  and  up  to  the  present 
time  no  less  than  12  acids,  all  differing  in 
character,  have  been  recognized,  which 
are  combined  with  glycerine.  These  acids 
are  respectively  composed  of  carbon, 
hydrogen  and  oxyeen  in  varied  propor- 
tions The  scientific  reader  may  be  in- 
terested to  know  that  the  glycerides  should 
practically  be  regarded  as  tri-glycerides, 
or,  in  other  words,  combinations  of  one 
molecule  of  glycerine  with  three  molecules 
of  acid,  although  it  is  not  so  certain  that 
these  three  molecules  are  respectively  of 
one  and  the  same  acid  in  all  cases.  Com- 
monly speaking,  reference  is  often  made 
in  relation  to  the  combination  of  butter 
to  stearine,  olein  and  palmitin,  which 
are  among  the  most  important  of  these 
fatty  acids,  but  chemically  speaking, 
they  are  described  as  stearic,  oleic  and 
palmitic  acids  ;  and  it  is  worth  notice  that 
while  a  sample  of  butterfat  may  contain 
nearly  one-third  of  its  weight  of  oleic  acid 
it  may  also  contain  one-half  of  its  weight 
of  stearic,  palmitic  and  myristic  acid. 
The  fatty  acid  present  in  large  quantity  is 
palmitic  acid.  There  is,  however,  much 
more  to  learn  upon  this  matter.  With 
regard  to  the  coloring  of  butter,  it  is 
believed— for  again  the  question  is  not 
determined— that  it  is  owing  to  chloro- 
phyl,  which  is  the  material  found  in  all 
green  plants — and  which  accounts  for 
their  color. 

We  have  referred  to  the  large  propor- 
tion of  olein.  That  proportion  vanes, 
and  it  is  greatest  soon  after  the  cow  has 
calved  which  produces  the  butter  in 
which  the  color  is  present.  Olein  may 
indeed  be  present  to  the  extent  of  50  per 
cent,  but  later  on  the  proportion  falls, 
while  that  of  palmitin  increases.  Fats  of 
different  kinds  vary  considerably  in  their 
composition.  The  fat  on  the  back  of  the 
cow  differs  from  the  fat  in  her  milk,  con- 
sequently the  fat  of  margarine  differs  in 
its  composition  from  the  fat  of  butter 
which  it  iB  intended  to  imitate.  Marga- 
rine fat  consistB  chiefly  of  the  glycerides 
of  stearic,  palmite  and  myristic  acide, 
the  fatty  acids,  which  are  often  described

as  the  volatile  acids,  being  practically 
absent;  and  hence  it  is  possible,  under 
given  conditions,  to  determine  the  differ- 
ence between  margarine  and  butter.  As 
these  volatile  acids  are  present  in  such 
small  quantities  in  butter,  however,  it  is 
not  always  possible  to  detect  the  differ- 
ence between  a  sample  of  pure  butter  and 
a  sample  of  margarine  in  which  butter  ie 
present,  and  for  this,  amoDg  other 
reasonB,  the  margarine  law  was  passed, 
for  in  consequence  of  the  difficulty  of 
certifying  the  adulteration  after  analysis 
the  margarine  maker  or  seller,  by  skillful 
manipulation,  is  able  to  pass  off  margarine 
butter.  It  may  be  well  to  notice  that  as 
cows  approach  the  period  of  drying,  their 
butterfat  is  invariably  poor  in  acids 
of  the  volatile  group;  and  here  again  a 
difficulty  has  arisen.  The  proportion  of 
the  volatile  acids  rapidly  increases  up  to 
a  maximum  in  from  five  to  seven  days 
after  the  cow  has  calved ;  it  then 
diminishes  gradually.  Apart  from  this, 
however,  it  has  been  found,  first  of  all  in 
Holland  by  French  chemists,  that  where 
cows  are  exposed  to  cold  or  inclement 
weather,  especially  where  they  are 
scantily  fed,  there  is  a  reduction  in  the 
proportion  of  the  volatile  acids,  and  for 
this  reason  pure  butter  has  sometimes 
been  regarded  as  margarine. 


Breeding  From  Sound  Horses. 


Perfect  material  is  necessary  for  the 
building  of  a  perfect  edifice.  Unsound 
material  means  etructual  weakness  that 
architectural  beauty  can  never  offset.  So 
in  horse  breeding.  Two  sound  parents 
are  necessary  for  the  production  of  sound 
offspring.  Soundness  in  one  parent  can- 
not be  trusted  to  overcome  unsoundness 
in  the  other.  One  or  both  may  have 
beauty  of  form  and  the  resultant  progeny 
may  likewise  be  beautiful,  but  mere 
beauty  is  of  little  value  in  the  market 
unless  associated  with  soundness  and 
good  wearing  qualities.  The  fixed  law  in 
breeding  is  that  "like  produces  like," 
hence,  while  we  continue  to  use  unsound 
stallions  and  mares  in  our  breeding  opera- 
tions we  shall  have  unsound  horses  to 
offer  on  the  market  at  the  small,  discrim- 
inating price  paid  for  such  aDlmals. 

Breeders  should  refuBe  to  breed  their 
mares  to  an  unsound  stallion  no  matter 
how  handsome  he  may  appear,  how  well 
he  may  be  bred  or  how  many  prizes  he 
may  have  won.  The  stallion  must  be 
free  from  diseases  known  to  be  trans- 
missible to  the  offspring  in  kind  or  as  a 
susceptibility.  He  must  have  sound  eyes, 
bearing  and  'wind"  and  be  free  from 
spavins,  Bidebones,  ringbones,  Btringbalt, 
St.  Vitus  dance  (chorea)  and  contagious 
diseases.  To  this  end  the  breeder  should 
demand  of  the  owner  a  certificate  of 
soundness  signed  by  a  reputable,  qualified 
veterinarian.  He  should  see,  too,  that 
the  stallion  is  pure  bred  and  duly  re- 
corded in  the  stud  book  of  bis  particular 
breed,  but  should  not  accept  pedigree  as 
an  apology  for  the  absence  of  any  one  of 
the  other  necessary  requirements.  The 
stallion  is,  however,  but  one  side  of  the 
proposition.  His  mate  must  also  be 
sound.  We  muBt  quit  the  absurd,  ruinous 
policy  of  considering  a  worn-out,  halt, 
maimed,  blind  or  otherwise  unsound  mare 
fit  for  breeding  purposes  on  the  basis  that 
she  ia  "good  for  nothing  else."  She  is 
wholly  unfit  for  breeding  purposes.  Un- 
soundness ie  common  among  broodmares 
and  prevalent  among  stallions.  The 
natural  consequence  is  that  many  horseB 
are  unsound  and  their  market  value  small 
on  that  account.  Let  ub  forthwith  insist 
that  every  Btallion  used  shall  be  Bound 
and  vow  that  we  will  never  again  breed 
an  unsound  mare.— A  S.  Alexander  in 
Iowa  Homestead. 


Good  feeding,  good  care  and  attention, 
and  comfortable  surroundings  make  a 
vigorous  cow  and  how  can  you  expect  a 
cow  to  be  profitable  to  you  if  she  ie  not 
possessed  of  vigor?

\  The  Way  "Save-the-Horse"  Makes  Them 

September  7th,  at  the  Faaig-Tipton  Sales  at  Sheepshead  Bay,  a  yearling  by 
Esher-Excellenza  was  being  sold  by  Mr.  William  EastoD,  and  when  the  animal 
was  led  into  the  ring  he  said:  "This  horse  has  been  suffering  from  a  bog  spavin, 
of  which  no  trace  remains.  He  was  treated  with  that  remedy  called  "Sava-the- 
Horse,  "  which  all  of  you  know,  and  it  did  save  the  horse — that  is,  it  CURED  him. 
Now,  you  know  lots  of  great  horses,  Morello  and  others,  were  successfully  raced, 
and  there  is  no  reison  to  expect  that  this  colt  will  ever  take  a  lame  step." 

The  biddinj  was  then  opened  at  $250,  snd  the  colt  was  sold  for  $800  to  Mr. 
J.  D.  Smith.  _^^^^^_^^^^^^^

From  the  Conservative  Trainer  of  Village  Farm 

Who  succeeded  Ed.  Geers  and  who  showed  Beau  Ideal  at  the  National  Horse  Show  at 
Madison  Square  Garden  last  fall,  and  won  the  blue  ribbon  In  the  champion  stallion

Village  Farm,  East  Aurora,  N.  Y.,  Nov.  21,  1904. 
Millard  Sanders,  who  trained  and  drove  Lou  Dillon,  recommended  "Save- 
the-Horse"  to  me  three  years  ago  at  Memphis,  Tenn.  I  used  it  on  a  bad  tendon 
on  which  I  had  used  about  every  known  treatment  without  result.  After  two 
weeks  treatment  with  "Save-the  Horse"  I  could  see  improvement,  and  from 
then  on  the  horse  went  sound  and  has  never  taken  a  lame  step  since.  I  also 
used  it  on  thoroughpins  and  windpuffs  and  found  it  worked  equally  as  well,  as 
it  cleaned  the  enlargements  off  entirely,  and  they  have  never  come  back.  I 
have  used  every  known  blister  and  the  fire  iron,  but  have  never  had  anything 
to  compare  with  'Save-the-Horse."  I  buy  it  from  Becker  &  Wickser  of  Buffalo, 
N.  Y.,  and  of  Bruce  &  Co.  of  Memphis,  Tenn.,  in  half-dozen  lots.  I  will  never 
be  without  It.  Benj.  F.  White.

GALL  CURE 

For  GALL  BACKS  and  SHOULDERS,  CRUPPE 
SORES  and  SADDLE  GALLS  there  is  non 
superior. 

The  horse  CAN  BE  WORKED  AS  USUAL. 

For  BARBED  WIRE  CUTS,  CALKS,  SCRATCH- 
ES, BLOOD  POISONED  SORES  and  ABRASIONS 
OF  THE  SKIN  it  has  no  equal. 

It  is  very  adhesive  and  easily  applied  to  a  watery 
as  well  as  a  dry  sore. 

Its  use  will  absolutely  prevent  BLOOD  POISOlx 
ING.  In  this  respect  there  Is  no  Gall  Cure  offerea 
which  can  justly  even  claim  to  be  a  competitor. 
We  placed  it  on  the  market  relying  wholly  on  its 
merit  for  success,  and  notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
comparatively  little  has  been  done  in  the  way  of 
advertising  the  sales  of  1900  were  100  per  cent  great- 
er than  the  aggregate  sales  of  Gall  Cure  preceding 
that  year.  This  increase  was  entirely  due  to  Us 
MERITS,  and  from  it  we  feel  justified  in  saying  that 
It  is  THE  GALL  CURE  OF  THE  20THCENTURY. 

It  is  a  quiok  and  sure  cure  for  those  troublesome 
skin  cracks  under  the  fe  ^ckwnich  injure  and  often 
lay  up  race  horses.

GREEN'S  RUFUS The  Bay  wood  Stud.  San  Mateo 


HARNESS  RACING  in  1905  gives  every  promise 
of  being  even  more  popular  than  last  year,  and 
In  every  section  of  the  East  much  interest  and  enthus- 
iasm is  already  manifest  over  the  outlook.  The 
Grand  Circuit  promises  to  ha,ve  as  many  meetings 
with  as  good  or  better  programs  than  ever  before,  and 
the  entry  lists  will  be  as  large  as  any  previous  year. 
Circuits  are  organizing  in  every  State  in  the  Union 
except  California  and  the  chances  look  pretty  promis- 
ing for  even  our  rather  sleepy  associations  to  get  out 
of  their  doze  after  a  while  and  show  some  evidences  of 
being  anxious  to  hold  a  few  meetings.  The  sales  at 
New  York;  Chicago  and  Lexington  held  within  the 
past  few  months  have  demonstrated  beyond  all  doubt 
that  the  light  harness  horse  is  more  popular  than 
ever  with  the  public  The  fact  thatprices  have  kept  up 
and  are  better  than  for  years  past  in  spite  of  the  retire- 
ment of  many  of  the  heaviest  breeders,  shows  that  the 
demand  for  road  and  race  horses  is  on  the  increase. 
There  is  not  a  particle  of  doubt  but  the  American 
trotter  is  today  a  more  popular  animal  than  ever  be- 
fore in  his  history,  and  harness  racing  is  on  a  higher 
plane  than  it  ever  occupied  before.  Breeding  Is  cer- 
tainly on  the  increase.  Every  stallion  owner  knows 
this  to  be  true.  The  passing  of  the  big  farms  where 
hundreds  were  bred  every  year  has  given  the  small 
breeder  a  chancethat  be  has  heretofore  not  enjoyed. 
Colt  stakes  and  futurities  are  much  more  numerous 
than  any  other  former  period,  yet  they  receive  larger 
entry  lists,  and  the  number  of  individual  nominators 
has  greatly  increased.  There  is  not  a  sign  on  the  en.- 
tire  horizon  but  points  to  a  prosperous  year  for  the 
breeders  of  the  greatest  of  all  horses — the  American 
trotter. 


A  MEASURE  has  been  introduced  in  the  California 
Legislature  which  provides  for  the  repeal  of  the 
present  district  fair  law,  and  the  enactment  in  its  place 
of  one  which  will  permit  county  boards  of  supervisors 
to  appropriate  money  from  the  county  funds  for  the 
establishment  and  holding  of  county  fairs.  At  first- 
glance  the  measure  appears  like  a  good  one,  as  it 
would  enable  such  counties  as  desired  fairs  to  hold 
them,  but  there  is  said  to  be  a  "joker"  in  the  bill 
which  will  permit  property  now  held  by  district  agri- 
cultural associations  to  be  sold,  and  the  money  obtained 
therefor  paid  over  to  the  Directors.  If  this  is  true, 
the  measure  should  be  opposed  by  every  right  think- 
ing person.  There  are  several  valuable  fair  grounds 
in  this  State  which  were  deeded  to  district  agricultural 
societies  for  the  purpose  of  providing  places  whereon 
to  hold  fairs.    These  properties  should   be  kept  and 


pvWNERS  AND  TRAINERS  of  thoroughbreds  are 
^— '  reminded  that  entries  to  the  following  races  to 
be  run  at  the  spring  meeting  of  the  Washington

nated, and  the  Sixth  Spring  Hunter's  Steeplechase  at 
two  miles  and  a  half  will  close  for  entries  on  the  same 
date.  See  the  advertising-  columns  of  this  paper  for 
all  the  conditions  and  particulars  about  these  events, 
and  address  all  entries  to  H.  G.  Crickmore,  Clerk  of

A  CONTEMPORARY  ventures  the  opinion  that 
oiling  "is  a  simple  way  of  maintaining  country 
road?."  Right  here  is  where  the  trouble  lies.  Too 
many  road  masters  think  that  oiling  is  a  "simple" 
treatment.  It  is  anything  but  that.  No  two  kinds  of 
soil  require  the  same  treatment  with  oil.  A  manner 
of  application  that  will  make  an  almost  perfect  road- 
bed on  one  kind  of  soil,  will  be  an  utter  failure  on 
another.  Oiled  roads  are  a  great  success  in  some 
counties  in  California  and  a  failure  in  others,  and 
many  are  condemned  because  the  application  of  oil 
was  made  in  the  wrong  way. 


THE  WESTERN  HORSEMAN,  published  at  In- 
dianapolis, issued  a  souvenir  number,  February 
10th,  that  is  one  of  the  most  creditable  of  the  special 
issueB  gotten  out  by  the  horse  papers  this  season.  It 
contains  nearly  150  pages,  beautifully  illustrated  and 
filled  with  matter  of  great  interest  to  allioveis  of  the 
horse. 


Baywood  Stud's  Green's  Rulus. 

That  much  success  has  been  achieved  by  matiDg 
trotting  bred  mares  to  Hackney  stallions  is  not  to  be 
denied.  None  of  the  breeders  who  have  followed  this 
plan  have  bred  for  track  or  road  speed,  but  solely  for 
park  and  carriage  horses  that  have  beauty  of  confor- 
mation, high  action  and  intelligence  together  with 
sound  legs  and  feet.  The  show  rings  of  the  East  have 
furnished  the  proof  that  the  hackney-trotting  cross  is 
not  a  failure,  and  here  in  California  the  Baywood 
Stud,  of  Mr.  John  Parrott,  has  demonstrated  the 
same  thing.  If  a  record  of  the  sales  made  from  Bay- 
wood  Stud  during  the  past  six  or  seven  years  were 
compiled  and  printed,  it  wouid  surprise  many  who 
have  no  idea  of  the  success  which  Mr.  Parrott  has 
achieved.  He  has  never  been  able  to  supply  the 
demand  for  horses  of  Baywood's  breeding  and 
education,  and  from  $2000  to  $3000  is  often  re- 
received  for  a  pair.  These  horses  were  nearly  all 
by  Green's  Rufus,  his  hackney  stallion  and  from 
trotting  bred  mares.  Owners  of  well-bred  mares  of 
hackney  conformation  Bbould  make  a  note  of  this  and 
if  they  desire  to  raise  good  park  or  carriage  horses, 
will  find  that  the  get  of  Green's  Rufus  when  out  of 
this  sort  of  mares  will  fill  the  bill  in  nearly  every  in- 
stance. They  will  have  size,  solid  color,  good  confor- 
mation and  the  best  of  dispositions  while  the  high  ac- 
tion that  is  a  hackney  trait  will  almost. certainly  de- 
velop as  soon  as  they  are  broken  to  harness.  Green's 
Rufus  will  be  in  the  stud  at  $75  the  season,  and  a  re- 
duction will  be  made  for  two  0;*  more  mares.  Letters 
addressed  to  Walter  Sealy,  Manager,  San  Mateo,  will 
be  promptly  replied  to. 


Mr.  J.  L.  Cagle,  of  Meyers  Falls,  Washington,  who 
raced  part  of  the  season  up  north  last  year  writes 
that  he  expects  to  take  in  the  California  and  North 
Pacific  Circuits  this  year  with  a  string  of  trotters  and 
pacers.  He  has  the  green  trotter  Ringman,  by  a  6on 
of  Patchen  Wilkes,  that  promises  to  be  a  two  minute 
performer.  He  also  has  a  two-year-old  Prince  Almont, 
carrying  the  blood  lines  of  Jay  Gould  and  George 
Wilkes  which  is  a  very  promuing  trotter.  Ella 
Fisher  is  another  member  of  his  stable  that  is  quite 
promising.  Mr.  Cagle  hopes  the  three  in  five  system 
will  prevail,  with  non  heat  winners  sent  to  the  barn 
after  three  heats. 


Among  the  three-year-olds  out  last  year  was  the 
brown  colt,  Carlokin  owned  by  C.  L.  Jonesof  Modesto 
bred  at  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  and  trained  and 
raced  by  H.  S.  Hogoboom.  Carlokin  contracted  a 
severe  illness  in  the  summer  and  until  a  week  before 
the.  San  Jose  meeting  his  owner  did  not  think  he 
would  be  able  to  start  him  in  any  races  but  as  Carlo- 
kin  was  rounding  to,  he  concluded  to  let  h.m  contest 
for  the  money  in  the  three  stakes  in  which  he  was 
entered.  There  were  some  high-class  three-year-olds 
racing  it  these  stakes,  and  it  took  a  good  game  colt 
to  be  in  the  money.  Carlokin  divided  second  and 
third  moneys  in  the  Occident  Slake  aDd  won  third 
money  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity  and  the  Stanford 
Stakes.  His  winnings  amounted  to  over  $1200  and 
he  won  several  heats  and  took  a  record  of  2:20J.  This 
ii  a  pretty  fair  record  for  a  colt  that  was  laid  up  with 
sickness  so  severe  that  it  was  thought  he  would  not 
be  able  to  start  at  all.  No  colt  raced  in  California 
ever  showed  more  of  the  grit  and  gameness  that  makes 
good  race  horses  than  Carlokin  showed  in  his  races. 
He  was  always  doing  his  leyel  best  to  get  to  the  wire 
first  but  was  beaten  by  colts  that  were  in  better  condi- 
tion and  had  a  little  more  speed.  He  is  one  of  the 
choicest  bred  of  the  McKinney  colts  that  will  be  in 
S3rvice  in  California  this  year.  His  dam  is  the  great 
brood  mare  Carlotta  Wilkes  by  Charley  Wilkes,  his 
second  dam  also  a  great  brood  mare  by  Alcantara 
and  his  third  dam  a  great  brood  mare  by  Clark  Chief. 
Any  student  of  breeding  will  Eee  at  a  glance  that 
speed  and  gamenessis  the  natural  result  of  such  breed, 
ing.  Carlokin  will  be  in  the  stud  at  Jennie  Lee  Stock 
Farm,  Modesto,  at  the  low  fee  of  $40.  Address  his 
owner  Mr.  C.  L.  Jones,  for  further  particulars.  His 
address  is  Modesto 

Kinney  Lou  2:073,  the  fastest  entire  son  of  McKinney 
and  certainly  one  of  the  fastest  tiotting  stallic  ns  ever 
foaled,  will  not  be  raced  this  year.  Budd  Doble  states 
that  Kinney  Leu  is  still  grcwirg  £rd  every  horseman 
that  looks  him  over  pronounces  him  one  of  the  grand- 
est looking  stallions  In  America.  It  is  Mr.  Doble'sin- 
tention  to  race  him  in  1906  and  will  consequently  only 
breed  him  next  year  to  such  mares  as  have  the  leturn 
privilege,  and  that  will  not  be  many  as  Kinney  Lou  is  a 
very  sure  horse  and  nearly  every  mare  that  was  bred 
to  him  last  year  is  in  foal.  Probably  no  trotter  that 
ever  raced  on  the  Pacific  Coast  was  more  popular  with 
the  public  than  Mary  Lou  2:17,  the  dam  of  Kinney 
Lou.  She  was  a  great  race  winner  and  no  gamer 
trotter  ever  started  for  the  money.  The  opportunity 
to  secure  the  services  of  Kinney  Lou  this  year  should 
not  be  missed. 

Mrs.  E.  W.  Callendine  of  Sacramento,  has  sold  her 
royally  bred  trotting  stallion  GuynuttoL  M.Clark 
of  the  same  city.  The  price  is  private.  Guynutisa 
registered  stallion,  his  number  being  33,375  He  is  a 
beautiful  chesnut  by  that  great  sire,  Nutwood  Wilkes 
2:16},  sire  of  John  A.  McKerron  2:04},  the  fastest  trot, 
ting  stallion  of  the  Wilkes  tribe,  and  is  out  of  the 
great  brood  mare  Abbie  Woodnut,  dam  of  Diawood 
2:11  and  Abdine2:17  by  Woodnut.  Guynut  will  sure, 
ly  be  a  good  sire  as  he  has  some  colts  that  are  fine 
lookers  and  speedy.  Guynut  has  taken  five  first  pre- 
miums at  the  State  fairs  and  the  Yolo  county  fairs. 
Individually  he  is  a  horse  of  commanding  and  showy 
appearance  and  his  new  owner  may   well  feel  proud  of 

him.

Mr.  Chas.  Hubbard,  of  Riverdale,  Fresno  county,  is 
trying  to  raise  a  few  good  horses  and  is  succeeding 
pretty  well  with  a  colt  by  Atbadon  and  one  by  Dexter 
Prince  as  starters.  Athadon  is  certain  to  be  a  great 
sire  and  although  Dexter  Prince  is  dead  he  has  left  a 
family  already  famous,  and  that  will  achieve  more 
fame  as  time  goes  on.  Mr.  Hubbard's  colts  are  both 
very  promising  youngsters. 


Anyone  wanting  a  trotting  stallion,  high  class  in 
looks,  speed  and  breeding,  one  that  has  pioved  a  sure 
foal  getter  and  a  sire  of  fine  colts,  should  read  S.  H. 
Crane's  advertisement  in  this  issue,  He  has  a  son  of 
Diablo  that  he  desires  to  sell  or  exchange,  but  unless 
the  trade  is  made  within  a  week  or  two,  the  horse  will 
be  placed  in  the  stud.

From  Humtnldt  County. 

Eureka,  Feb.  9, 1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman:— ThinkiDg  a 
few  Dotes  from  the  land  of  the  redwoods  might  inter- 
est some  of  your  many  readers,  1  pen  a  few  lines. 

Our  track  is  in  extra  fine  shape  for  this  time  of  the 
year,  and  a  few  hours  after  a  rain  is  ready  to  jog  on. 

E.  L  HuDt  has  five  or  six  quartered  in  hie  stables. 
His  Timothy  B.  2:294,  a  mark  which  is  no  measure  of 
his  speed,  has  developed  into  a  grand  looking  horse 
with  plenty  of  style  and  finish.  Being  a  full  brother 
to  Wayland  W.  2:125  he  can  be  expected  to  go,  and 
also  to  sire  good  ones.  I  saw  one  of  his  colts  that  is 
used  as  a  buggy  horse  trot  a  quarter  in  thirty-seven 
seconds,  the  other  day,  and  only  a  three-year-old. 
After  the  season,  for  which  a  large  number  of  good 
.  mares  are  booked  to  him,  Timothy  B.  will  be  prepared 
for  the  fall  circuit. 

Mr.  Hunt  has  a  green  pacer  that  M.  Salisbury,  the 
kingmaker,  happened  to  overlook  when  he  came  up 
here  and  secured  Bolivar.  This  horse  ie  a  full  brother 
to  Morosco  2:12,  and  while  I  have  never  seen  Morosco, 
people  who  have  seen  both  claim  this  horse  is  the 
best  looker.  He  has  been  used  as  a  buggy  horse  and 
never,  until  four  weeks  ago,  had  any  track  work,  but 
can  now  show  better  than  a  twenty  gait  and  coming 
all  the  time.  He  wears  only  a  harness.  Mr.  Hunt 
has  some  colts  and  fillies  just  learning  to  go  round  the 
corners.  They  are  a  fine  lot  and  show  careful  and 
painstaking  handling. 

Mr.  Brown  has  two  green  ones  that  he  is  getting 
ready  for  the  spring  work.  They  are  both  by  Way- 
land  W.  2:124. 

Richard  Sweasy  has  a  full  brother  to  Bolivar  that 
is  a  larger  and  more  showy  horse,  and  has  more  speed 
for  the  same  amount  of  work.  He  is  a  pacer  and  does 
not  need  the  straps.  I  believe  he  will  be  worked  this 
spring. 

Mr.  Wm.  Young  (you  know  Bill,  the  expert  harness 
and  pacing-hopple  maker,!  has  a  six-months-old  filly 
by  Dandy  Hay  ward  2:28;  first  dam  by  Ira,  second  dam 
by  the  Grand  Moor,  third  dam  the  Ralston  Mare— 
that  is  just  about  the  sweetest  thing  in  a  field  of 
stumps.  I  have  led  her  by  the  side  of  a  saddle  borBe 
and  she  can  make  him  gallop  quite  smart.  Young  is 
not  in  need  of  ready  money,  so  there  is  no  use  to  make 
an  offer. 

Mr.  Henry  Brace,  the  owner  of  that  grand  young 
McKinney  stallion  Greco,  intends  to  move  to  one  of 
the  bay  counties  and  will  sell  most  all  his  mares  and 
colts.  'Twill  be  a  mighty  good  chance  to  get  either  a 
race  or  road  horse.  He  has  several  young  things  just 
fairly  broken  that  can  pull  a  buggy  in  2:40.  It  will 
bs  quite  a  loss  to   this  community  should    he  leave  us. 

Jack  Lannigan  at  Rohnerville  has  several  colts  he 
is  getting  ready  for  the  summer's  work. 

From  what  I  can  learn  there  will  be  about  forty 
horses  trained  in  this  county  this  year,  and  we  will 
have  some  to  show  the  boys  the  way  home  with.  I 
will  not  handle  any  myself  as  I  have  bought  a  black- 
smith shop  near  here  and  will  confine  myself  to  that. 

Promising  some  further  notss  in  the  future,  I  re- 
main yours,  etc.,  G.  W.  Hughes.

A  Quartette  of  Good  Stallions. 

C.  H.  Durfee,  eldest  son  of  Chas.  A.  Durfee,  has 
arranged  to  have  four  high  class  trotting  stallions  for 
public  service  at  the  San  Jose  track  this  year,  and 
presents  the  advertisement  in  this  issue  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman.  The  stallions  are  Peti- 
gru  2:105,  Coronado  2:12£,  Almaden  2:22£  and  the 
three-year-old  Galindo. 

Petigru,  an  Eastern  bred  stallion,  a  member  of  the 
great  Onward  family,  is  well-known  to  followers  of  the 
California  circuit  as  one  of  the  gamest  and  fastest 
trotting  stallions  ever  raced  in  California.  Those  who 
considered  him  a  good-looking  horse  when  he  was 
racing,  should  see  him  now.  In  6tud  condition  he  is 
undoubtedly  one  of  the  grandest  of  stallions  and 
should  be  very  popular  with  California  breeders  as  he 
has  everything  to  recommend  him.  He  was  a  fast 
and  game  trotter,  getting  his  record  in  a  six-heat 
race  which  he  won.  His  breeding  is  of  the  best.  By 
a  producing  son  of  the  great  Onward,  and  out  of 
Lemonade,  the  only  mare  to  produce  three  trotters 
with  records  below  2:12,  with  his  second  and  third 
dams  in  the  great  broodmare  list,  few  stallions  can 
be  considered  as  well  bred  as  Petigru.  He  has  been 
in  the  stud  but  two  years  in  California,  and  was  never 
in  regular  service  in  the  East,  being  trained  and  raced. 
A  tbree-year-old  by  him  worked  a  mile  in  2:14  last  fall 
Petigru's  fee  wili  be  $50  for  the  season. 

Coronado  2:124,  one  of  the  fastest  trotters  ever  bred 
in  California  is  beyond  all  question  nearer  the  likeness 
of  his  great  sire  McKinney  than  any  other  son.  He  is 
a  magnificent  seal  brown,  with  the  same  short  back 
and  great  trotting  stride  the  sire  of  Sweet  Marie 
possesses.  Coronado  is  a  race  horse,  and  will  reduce 
his  record  several  seconds  if  trained.  He  is  out  of 
that  very  fast  mare  Johana  Treat,  race  record  2:22, 
and  a  trial  of  2:17,  that  is  by  Thos.  Rysdyk  2:28, 
second  dam  Kate  Treat  by  Venture  2:27,  sire  of  the 
dam  of  Directum  2:05|.  The  fee  for  Coronado's  ser- 
vices will  be  $50. 

Almaden,  the  unbeaten  son  of  Direct  2:055,  out  of 
Rose  McKinney  by  McKinney  2:11J,  is  a  perfect  model 
of  a  trotting  colt.  He  won  the  two-year-old  division 
of  the  $6000  Breeders  Futurity  in  1903,  and  the  Occi- 
dent Stake  for  three-year-olds  last  year,  which  was  a 
seven-heat  race  and  the  hardest  fought  battle  be- 
tween three-year-old  trotters  ever  seen  in  California. 
Almaden  combines  the  blood  of  the  two  greatest  race 
winning  families.    His  fee  will  be  $40. 

Galindo,  a  handsome  bay  three-year-old,  is  con- 
sidered the  best  bred  MoKinney  everfoaled.  His  fir6t, 
second  and  third  dams  are  among  the  greatest  of 
broodmares.  Elsie,  his  dam,  has  produced  five  in 
the  list.  Elaine,  his  grandam,  is  the  mother  of  four, 
and  Green  Mountain  Maid,  his  great  grandam,  pro- 
duced nine  standard  trotters  in  addition  to  producing 
Electioneer,  the  greatest  sire  of  trotters.  Being  a 
three-year-old  Galindo  will  be  permitted  to  serve  but 
a  few  mares,  at  $30  the  season. 

All  these  stallions  can  be  seen  any  day  at  the  San 
Jose  track,  and  cards  containing  tabulated  pedigrees 
and  other  particulars  will  be  mailed  to  anyone  on 
application.      Mr.    Durfee's  address    is    42   Magnolia 

Avenue,  San  Jose.

Jacob  Brolliar  Commends  Strathway. 

The  following  letter  was  received  last  week  by 
James  Thompson  of  Pleasanton  from  the  well-known 
horseman,  Jacob  Brolliar  of  Visalia,  one  of  the  owners 
of  that  good  son  of  George  Wilkes,  Hambletonian 
Wilkes,  sire  of  Robert  I.  2:0S|  and  many  more  high- 
class  performers: 

Visalia,  Cal.,  Feb.  4,  '05. 
Mr.  Jas.  Thompson,  Pkasanton,  Cal. 

Dear  Sir: — You'll  pardon  me  for  taking  the  liberty 
of  addressing  you,  but  I  cannot  resist  the  temptation 
of  complimenting  you  on  having  under  your  manage- 
ment 60  great  a  sire  as  Strathway.  I  think  he  pos- 
sesses more  real  genuine  merit  than  he  will  receive 
credit  for  until  hisdays  of  usefulness  will  have  passed. 
That  he  will  breed  on  equal  to  any  of  the  great  fami- 
lies, I  am  satisfied,  when  mated  with  good  mares.  I 
am  working  ten  h?ad  of  green  ones  at  the  Tulare 
track,  six  of  which  are  by  Stoneway  2:23|,  the  good 
son  of  Strathway.  Four  of  these  six  Stoneways  can 
step  a  2:00  gait  now,  and  one — Rockaway,  yearling 
half-mile  race  record  of  1:12  with  four  weeks  work, 
including  breaking— I  believe  to  be  the  greatest  pacer 
in  the  world.  He  will  not  be  two  years  old  till  some 
time  in  March  or  April.  I  have  jogged  him  about 
five  weeks  with  only  one  mile  as  fast  as  2:474  and  with 
about  three  short  brushes  at  a  2:20  clip.  I  gave  him 
his  head  the  other  day  for  an  eighth,  and  hitched  to 
a  McMurray  cart,  he  stepped  it  in  154,  seconds.  He  is 
a  magnificent  individual,  level  headed  and  game  to 
the  core.  Pleasedo  not  mistake  me  to  be  touting  thiB 
fellow  by  reason  of  the  announcement  in  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman  that  you  will  buy  a  good  one.  He 
is  not  for  sale  at  any  reasonable  price,  it  being  our 
intention  to  race  him  on  the  Coast  to  prove  the  worth 
of  his  sire.  I  also  have  a  magnificent  son  of  Strath, 
way,  a  five-year-old  gelding  out  of  a  full  sister  of  Miss 
Logan,  that  is  a  beautiful  gaited  trotter  and  just  re- 
cently has  begun  to  "show  me."  Also,  I  have  two 
great-bred  Stoneway  trotters,  a  two  and  three  year 
old  brother  and  sister,  dam  Viva  by  Antevolo,  second 
dam  Lady  Wilson  by  Nutwood  2:18J,  third  dam  Rebel 
Daughter  (the  third  dam  of  Nutwood  Wilkes)  by 
Williamson's  Belmont,  that  are  promising  trotters 
and  splendid  individuals.  If  I  can't  show  more  ex- 
treme speed  in  my  string  of  ten  head  (mostly  colts 
and  green  ones  and  all,  with  two  exceptions,  descend- 
ants of  Strathway)  than  is  to  be  found  in  any  stable 
of  a  like  number  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  then  I  will  ad- 
mit my  judgment  is  no  good.  I  am  prompted  to  write 
you  this  letter  out  of  my  pleasure  of  knowing  of 
Strathway 's  falling  into  such  worthy  hands  as  yours. 
So,  again  begging  your  pardon  for  this  self-instituted 
authority,  and  extending  to  you  my  best  wishes,  I 
am  most  hopeful  for  your  continued  success. 

Respectfully,  Jacob  Brolliar.

S.  H.  Knox,  of  Buffalo,  who  bought  at  the  Fasig- 
Tipton  sale  the  two  great  young  stallions,  Lord  Direct 
and  Prince  Ideal,  together  with  a  number  of  the  best 
broodmares  from  the  Village  Farm  consignment,  it  is 
said  is  negotiating  to  either  buy  or  lease  a  part  of  the 
famous  trotting  nursery,  owned  by  the  Messrs. 
Hamlin,  and  if  he  is  successful  will  maintain  the 
historic  place  as  a  breeding  establishment  and  will 
add  more  mares  to  his  band  already  purchased.  So 
Village  Farm  will  not  be  a  thing  of  the  past,  as  has 
been  feared  would  be  the  case  with  the  dispersal  of 
the  Hamlin  horses.  Mr.  Knox  is  a  very  wealthy 
gentleman,  having  made  a  fortune  out  of  the  great 
number  of  five  and  ten-cent  stores  which  he  has 
scattered  all  over  the  country.  Ben  White  has  been 
engaged  as  trainer  for  the  farm.

The  Bural  Spirit  says  E.  B.  Tongue  will  send  his 
three-year-old  pacer,  Lord  Lovelace,  by  Lovelace  2:20, 
to  California  in  Senator  Helman's  stable  to  be  con- 
ditioned for  this  season's  campaign. 


The  Bozeman,  Montana,  Interstate  Pair,  will  be 
held  from  August  29th  to  Sept.  1st  inclusive,  this 
year.  There  is  a  stake  of  $1000  offered  for  2:20  class 
trotters  and  one  of  $1000  for  2:18  class  pacers. 


Another  carload  of  draft  stallions  reached  Wood- 
land from  Illinois  last  week — making  the  seventh 
within  a  year.  This  consignment  are  all  black 
Percherons  with  one  exception,  a  roan  Belgian. 


Next  Wednesday  is  Washington's  birthday,  and 
the  residents  of  Pleasanton  propose  to  celebrate  the 
event  with  several  matinee  races.  At  least  a  dozen 
trotters  and  pacers  are  in  training  for  these  events. 


Ihomas  W.  Murphy,  who  trains  the  second  divis- 
ion of  James  Butler's  stable,  will  do  his  spring  train- 
ing at  Louisville.  He  has  engaged  twenty  stalls.  Mr. 
Murphy  formerly  ustd  the  Empire  City  track  for  his 
spring  work. 

Lewiston,  Idaho,  has  opened  six  early  closing  stakes 
as  follows:  Trotting,  2:15  class,  $1000;  trotting,  2:19 
class,  $1000;  trotting,  three-year-old,  $400;  pacing,  2:14 
class,  $1000;  pacing,  2:09  class,  $1000;  pacing,  three- 
year-old,  $400. 

The  Spokane  Interstate  Fair  announces  that  it  will 
give  this  year  $1500  for  2:11  class  pacers,  $1500  for  2:15 
class  trotter9,  $600  for  three  year-old  trotters,  $600  for 
three-year-old  pacers  and  $500  for  two-vear-old  trot- 
ters.   These  are  the  early  closing  stakes. 


Mr.  I.  C.  Mosher  is  training  the  very  handsome 
black  colt  Nocturno  by  Alfonso  at  Los  Angeles  and 
states  that  he  is  showing  much  promise.  Nocturno  is 
owned  by  Mr.  G.  A.  Westgate  of  Albany,  Oregon,  and 
ia  one  of  the  best  bred  stallions  on  the  Coast. 


Mr  Geo.  E.  Lattimer,  of  Buffalo,  a  wealthy  business 
man  and'  popular  amateur  reinsman  and  owner,  who 
spent  last  winter  in  California,  is  coming  out  again  to 
get  the  benefit  of  the  sunshine  of  the  Coast.  He 
attended  the  Midwinter  sale  at  New  York  two  weeks 
ago  and  picked  up  two  real  bargains  in  a  yearling 
brother  to  The  Abbott  z:03}  and  a  filly  by  Direct  Hal 
2:04}  out  of  a  mare  by  Dare  Devil  2:09. 


Dictatus  Medium,  owned  by  R.  P.  Latbrop  of  Holli- 
ster,  is  getting  to  be  a  very  popular  stallion  with 
breeders.  His  colts  are  all  fine  lookers,  with  size  and 
plenty  of  natural  speed.  Dictatus  Medium  has  a  trial 
of  2:11.     He  is  a  half-brother  to  Stam  B.  2:11}. 


A  runabout  with  wooden  wheels,  pneuma 
can  be  had  at  a  bargain,  away  below  cost,  if  you  see 
Kenney  at  531  Valencia  street  within  the  next  few 
days. 

Mr.  Oak  Duke,  of  Wellsville,  New  York,  who  pur- 
chased Direct  Hal  at  the  Midwinter  Auction  for 
$11,000  refused  the  sum  of  $18,000  for  him  two  days 
after.  

H.  H.  Dunlap  of  Pleasanton  will  probably  send  his 
fast  Steinway  mare  Explosion  to  Los  Angeles  to  be 
bred  to  Hal  B.  2:04}.  The  result  should  be  a  whirl- 
wind pacer.  

Dexter  Girl  seven-year-old  mare  by  Dexter  Prince, 
dam  Violet  by  Electioneer  was  one  of  the  several  hun- 
dred that  went  through  the  Midwinter  sale.  She 
brought  $485.  

Zephyr  2:11  by  Zombro  2:11  is  in  Ed.  Geer's  string 
at  Memphis  and  word  comes  from  there  that  he  thinks 
she  is  one  of  the  best  prospects  for  a  2:05  mark  that  he 
ever  handled.  

Hollister  track  is  one  of  the  best  spring  and  sum- 
mer tracks  in  California.  It  is  kepi  in  excellent  shape 
and  the  charge  for  stall  rent  is  but  one  dollar  per 
month  per  stall.  

Joe  Wattles,  of  Oxford,  Ind.,  who  first  raced  the 
champion  pacer,  Dan  Patch,  has  a  full  brother  and  a 
full  sister  to  that  famous  sidewheeler.  Both  are  said 
to  be  extremely  promising. 


•Ex-Gov.  Morgan  G.  Bulkeley,  of  Connecticut,  has 
been  elected  to  the  United  States  Senate,  Mr.  Bulkeley 
is  as  well  known  in  horse  circles  as  in  the  political 
arena,  having  been  connected  with  the  National  Trot- 
ting Association  at  Hartford,  also  with  Charter  Oak 
Park.  

J.  L.  McCarthy  &  Sofi,  the  well  known  live  stock 
auctioneers  of  Portland,  Oregon,  will  hold  their  third 
annual  horse  auction  at  Irvington  Park,  Portland, 
April  11,  12,  13  and  14,  four  days.  They  expect  to  sell 
a  hundred  horses  a  day.  The  market  is  good  at 
Portland.  

Cleveland  will  be  in  the  Grand  Circuit  after  all,  and 
the  week  beginning  July  31st,  has  been  allotted  the 
Glenville  Park  by  the  Grand  Circuit  stewards.  Glen- 
ville  has  a  new  Mayor  and  he  is  not  one  of  that  sort 
that  has  a  spasm  every  time  a  speed  contest  is 
mentioned. 

Breeders  who  visit  the  San  Jose  track  and  look 
Coronado  2:)2i  over  begin  talking  right  away  about 
booking  mares^to  this  magnificent  son  of  McKinney, 
and  when  they  see  him  taking  his  exercise  they 
generally  close  the  transaction  right  there.  He  is  a 
grand  stallion. 

The  New  York  State  Fair  commission  has  decided 
to  ask  the  Legislature  to  appropriate  $30,000  for  the 
Grand  Circuit  races  to  be  held  at  Syracuse  in  con- 
nection with  the  state  fair.  The  business  men  of 
Syracuse  will  probably  guarantee  a  $10,000  stake  in 
addition  to  the  regular  purse  races. 


Mrs.  Sarah  J.  McCarty,  wife  of  Dan  McCarty  the 
well-known  horseman,  died  February  9th  at  the  East 
Bay  Sanitorium,  Oakland,  after  a  brief  illness.  Mrs. 
McCarty  was  a  woman  greatly  esteemed  by  those  who 
knew  her  and  her  husband  and  four  children  will 
have  the  sympathy  of  all  who  know  them. 


The  McKinney-Onward  cross  is  a  good  one,  as  the 
only  time  it  was  ever  tried  in  California,  China  Maid 
2:05}  was  the  result.  Petigru  2:10}  is  a  good  repre- 
sentation of  the  Onward  family  and  ne  is  just  the  out- 
cross  for  McKinney  mares.  Breeders  should  remem- 
ber that  Dolly,  the  dam  of  Onward,  was  also  the  dam 
of  Director.  

Forty  Shire  horses  and  mares,  mostly  the  latter, 
were  sold  at  the  annual  draft  saleof  Mr.  Victor  Caven- 
dish, M.  P.  at  Holker  Hall  a  month  ago  in  England. 
The  average  price  was  within  a  few  dollars  of  $500  per 
head.  The  highest  figures  were  realized  for  the  two- 
year-old  stallion  Rokeby  Pretender,  $2050,  and  $1900 
for  Birdsall  Calamint,  his  sire. 


Who  Is  It  2:10}  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  is  still  quite  a 
horse,  or  he  would  not  bring  $610  as  he  did  when  put 
up  at  auction  by  the  Fasig-Tipton  Company  at  New 
York  two  weeks  ago  This  gelding  has  passed  through 
a  good  many  sales,  but  seems  to  bring  a  pretty  fair 
price  every  time  he  is  offered.  J.  H  Reid  of  Newark, 
New  Jersey,  is  his  latest  owner. 


It  is  claimed  that  Ina  Barondale  2:15}  by  Barondale 
was  the  fastest  Iowa  green  pacer  out  last  season,  as 
she  was  only  once  behind  the  money  in  her  thirteen 
starts;  all  over  half-mile  tracks;  worked  easy  miles  in 
2:12,  with  halves  in  1:03,  quarters  in  30  seconds  and 
never  made  a  break  in  her  races.  Her  friends  think 
she  cau  pace  a  good  mile  track  in  2:06. 


The  Grand  Circuit  events  at  Detroit  will  be  decided 
by  the  same  methods  as  will  those  at  the  Buffalo 
meeting,  the  three-heat  plan,  every  heat  a  race,  for  a 
portion  of  the  purse  with  an  extra  portion  to  the 
horse  standing  best  in  the  summary  at  the  end  of  the 
third  heat.  The  Cleveland,  Empire  City,  Columbus, 
Readville,  Hartford  and  Cincinnati  purses  will  be 
decided  by  the  same  method. 


Pacers  that  are  outclassed  do  not  bring  big  prices 
at  sales.  At  the  recent  Midwintersalein  New  York  the 
following  prices  were  paid  for  pacers  that  a  re  supposed 
to  be  "marked  for  life:"  Gyp  Walnut  2:08J,  $550;  Dr. 
Madara  2:08,  $925;  Mustard  2:08},  $900;  Diavolo  2:09}, 
$860.  It  may  happen,  however,  that  some  of  these 
pacers  will  go  out  aDd  win  many  good  races  when 
they  get  iD  the  hands  of  new  trainers,  or  have  had  a 
year's  rest. 

Secretary  W.  H.  Knight  of  the  American  Trotting 
Association  reached  San  Francisco  from  Chicago  last 
week  for  a  short  stay.  Mr.  Knight  will  propabiy 
journey  to  the  southern  part  of  the  State  before  he 
returns  home.  He  is  very  lucky  in  escaping  the  cold 
snap  that  has  visited  the  Mississippi  Valley  during  the 
past  week.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  record  the  fact  that 
Mr.  Knight's  health  is  greatly  improved  as  a  result  of 
his  visit  to  the  Coast  last  year. 


The  Memphis  correspondent  of  the  American 
Sportsman  writes  that;  Geers  has  good  hopes  of 
Stanley  Dillon  2:07:}.  He  expects  him  to  improve  over 
his  last  year's  form,  although  he  was  one  of  the  big- 
gest money-winning  trotters  in  1904,  having  the 
$10,000  Merchants'  and  Manufacturer'  stake  to  bis 
his  credit,  besides  winning  five  other  races,  a  total  of 
six  wins  out  of  eight  starts.  This  hor6e  went  wrong 
last  summer  just  when  he  appeared  to  be  at  his  best, 
and  broke  down  when  trotting  in  the  Charter  Oak 
Stake  at  Hartford  in  September.  An  ailing  leg  put 
him  on  the  shelf  for  the  remainder  of  the  season,  but 
last  fall  it  was  blistered  and  pinfired,  and  dow  the  leg 
is  strong  and  sound.  He  should  stand  hard  work  thid 
year. 


Chimes,  the  only  stallion  that  has  sired  three  trot- 
ters in  the  2:0(5  list,  sold  for  $2350  at  the  Midwinter 
sale  He  is  twenty-one  years  old  but  strong  and 
vigorous  and  it  is  a  pity  some  enterprising  Californian 
was  not  present  at  the  sale  to  pay  a  little  more  for 
Electioneer^  greatest  son  and  bring  him  back  to  hi9 
native  heath.  Chimes  will  be  in  the  stud  in  New 
Jersey  this  year  at  $75.  At  the  same  figure  he  would 
much  more  than  pay  for  himself  in  California  this 
year. 

Robizola  2:12}  is  being  used  in  this  city  as  a  road 
mare,  and  is  for  sale  by  her  owner,  Dr.  Clark  of  Santa 
Rosa.  The  daughter  of  Robin  makes  a  great  roadster, 
and  there  is  little  doubt  but  she  could  beat  her  record 
if  trained  and  raced  again.  She  won  two  races 
at  Columbus.  Ohio,  in  1903,  in  two  days  and  the 
slowest  heat  was  2:13  Not  many  horses  can  stand 
such  severe  work  as  that,  but  Robizola  is  Done  the 
worse  for  it  now  although  it  probably  was  the  cause 
of  her  training  off  at  the  time. 

Quite  a  number  of  mares  have  already  been  booked 
to  I  Direct  2:12}  that  is  making  the  seaEon  of  1905  at 
Sacramento  in  charge  of  Prof  H.  B.  Frtemac  Mr- 
Mabry  McMahan,  owner  of  I  Direct  is  much  pleaded 
with  the  appearance  of  the  colts  by  I  Direct  that  he 
has  seen,  and  well  he  may  be,  as  they  are  an  extra  fine 
lot  and  have  perfect  dispositions.  McKinney  mares 
bred  to  I  Direct  should  throw  race  winners.  The 
Director  and  McKinney  families  are  the  great  race 
winners  on  the  Grand  Circuit. 

Bo  D'Arc,  the  chestnut  stallion  by  Conifer,  dam 
Pastora  by  Judge  Salisbury,  will  make  the  season  at 
San  Jose.  Conifer  is  the  sire  of  Bonnie  Russell  2:10}, 
one  of  the  sensational  trotters  of  1904.  Pastora  first 
dam  of  Bo  D'Arc  is  also  the  dam  of  Johnnie  Trouble 
2:22}.  The  second  dam  of  Bo  D'Arc  is  by  A  W. 
Richmond,  the  third  dam  by  The  Moor,  and  fourth 
dam  YouDg  Vermont  Morgan.  He  is  sixteen  hands 
high,  weighs  about  1100  pounds,  and  is  a  very  hand- 
some horse.    He  will  sire  size,  style  and  speed. 

Mr.  C.  M.  Drais,  of  Farmington,  is  now  the  owner 
of  that  grandly  bred  McKinney  stallion,  Guy  Mc- 
KiDney,  and  will  stand  him  this  year  at  Farmington 
and  Oakdale  at  $30  the  season.  Guy  McKinney  is  out 
of  Flora  Drais  by  Guy  Wilkes,  second  dam  Blanch- 
ward,  dam  of  China  Maid  2:05}  by  the  great  Onward, 
third  dam  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  fourth  dam  by 
Privateer  258  and  Ifth  dam  by  Abdallah  15  This  is 
high  class  breeding,  and  the  fact  that  Guy  McKinney 's 
colts  are  showing  up  well  is  therefore  no  surprise. 

The  Stewards  of  the  Grand  Circuit  recently 
adopted  a  revise  schedule  of  dates,  thus:  Detroit, 
Mich.,  July  24  to  29;  Cleveland,  O.,  July  31  to  August 
5;  Buffalo,  Aug.  7  to  12;  Empire  City  track,  New 
York  City,  Aug.  14  to  19;  Readville,  Mass.,  Aug  21  to 
26,  Providence,  R.  I.,  Aug,  28  to  Sept.  2;  Hartford, 
Con.,  Sept.  4  to  9;  Syracuse  (New  York  State  Fair), 
Aug.  11  to  16;  Columbus,  Sept.  18  to  23;  Cincinnati, 
O  ,  Sept.  25  to  30;  Memphis,  Oct.  16  to  28.  The  Lexi- 
ton,  Ky.,  meeting,  though  not  in  any  circuit,  has  tbe 
two  weeks  between  the  Cincinnati  and  Memphis 
meeting. 

The  last  foal  produced  by  the  famous  Estabtlla, 
dam  of  Heir-at-Law  2:05},  Prince  Regent  2:16}, 
Princess  Royal  2:20.  etc.,  is  the  yearling  brown  colt 
The  Amateur  by  The  Beau  Ideal  2:15}  WheD  this 
baby  trotter  was  sold  at  the  New  York  sale  there  were 
a  number  of  well  inown  horsemen  who  started  in  the 
bidding,  but  the  successful  one  was  J.  L.  Druien  of 
Bardstown,  Ky.,  who  owna  one  of  the  greatest  collec- 
tions of  broodmares  in  tbe  Blue  Grass  State.  He  sent 
a  commissioner  to  the  sate  expressly  to  buy  this  colt 
and  he  got  him  for  $S50,  he  beiDg  the  only  offering  he 
purchased.  

Strathway  is  now  twenty  years  old,  having  been 
foaled  in  1885,  and  is  as  strong  and  vigorous  as  any 
horse  half  his  age.  Mr.  S.  Christensen  has  booked 
several  mares  to  the  sire  of  Toggles  2:08}  and  John 
Caldwell  2:11}  already  aDd  Strathway's  book  will  soon 
be  full  A  gentleman  who  has  bought  and  sold  as 
many  high  class  roadsters  aDd  race  trotters  as  tbe 
next  Californian  remarked  the  other  day  that  those 
who  owd  the  get  of  Strathway  never  have  to  look  for 
buyers,  as  buyers  are  always  looking  for  them.  By 
the  way,  a  typographical  error  in  some  of  the  Strath- 
way cards  sent  out  gives  his  vear  of  foaling  as  1895. 
It  should  be  1885.    "     ^_ 

Mr.  J.  W.  Kelly,  of  Victoria,  British  Columbia,  a 
former  resident  of  Pennsylvania,  has  recently  pur- 
chased a  beautiful  200  acre  farm  near  his  new  home, 
and  it  is  his  intention  to  raise  some  well  bred  trotting 
horses  and  Jersey  cattle  thereon.  He  recently  pur- 
chased from  Mr.  C.  A.  Harrison,  proprietor  of  the 
Hotel  Driard  of  Victoria,  the  mare  Sophie  McKinney, 
and  the  fact  that  she  was  nominated  in  Breeders 
Futurity  No.  5  was  the  cause  of  the  sale,  as  Mr. 
Kelly  says  that  a  mare  nominated  in  a  good  colt 
stake  is  worth  money  when  she  is  sired  by  such  a 
great  horse  as  McKinney  and  stinted  to  a  great  sire 
like  Nutwood  Wilkes.  Mr.  Harrison  writes  that  he 
hopes  the  prospective  foal  may  be  a  two-minute 
trotter  and  a  winner  of  the  Breeders  Futurity. 


"We  may  imagine  the  earliest   herds  of  horses  in 
the  lower  eocene  period,  "says  awriterinthe  Century 
Magazine,  "as  resembling  a  lot  of  small  Fox  Terriers  in 
size,   only  eleven  inches,    or  two  and  three  quarters 
hands  at  the  withers,  covered  with  short  hair,  which 
may   have  bad  a  brownish   color   with   lighter  spots, 
resembling  the  sunbeams  falling  through  the  leaves  of 
trees,  and  thus  protecting  the  little  animals  from  ob- 
servation.    As  in    tbe  Terrier,  tbe   wrist  (knee)  was 
near  the  ground,  'be  hand  was  still  short — terminat- 
ing in  four  hoofs,  with  a  part  of  the  fifth  top   (thumb)

[February  18,  1905 


Direct  Is  the  Golden  Cross. 

The  big  prices  brought  by  the  Direct  family  at  the 
closing  out  sale  of  the  Village  Farm  horses  at  Madisbn 
Square  Garden  were  freely  commented  on  by  visiting 
horsemen  as  further  evidence  of  the  growing  popu- 
larity of  this  great  strain  of  winning  blood.  It  is 
remarkable  how  the  blood  of  old  Clara,  the  dam  of 
Dexter  2:17},  continues  to  breed  on.  Fashions  in 
families  come  and  go,  but  for  a  period  now  covering 
some  forty  years,  when  the  tests  of  the  race  track  or 
sales  ring  are  applied,  the  Director  family  appears  to 
be  always  at  the  front. 

Village  Farm  has  bten  breeding  trotters  for  about 
fifty  years,  and  was  the  oldest  and  most  successful 
breeding  stud  in  the  country.  Yet  the  last  new  strain 
of  blood  which  C.  J.  Hamlin  was  wise  enough  to  in- 
troduce was  valued  more  highly  than  the  fruits  of 
nearly  half  a  century  of  remarkably  successful  breed- 
ing. Direct  Hal  2:04},  although  a  pacer,  and  practi- 
c  illy  untried  as  a  sire,  brought  the  top  price — $11,000 — 
and  is  considered  a  bargain  at  that  figure;  for  his 
oldest  son,  Lord  Direct,  a  green  four-year-old  pacer, 
out  of  Lady  of  the  Manor  2:04},  sold  for  $10,500,  the 
nest  highest  priced  one  in  the  consignment.  Prince 
Ideal,  a  remarkably  well  bred  four  year-old  trotter 
that  has  shown  sensational  speed,  brought  the  third 
highest  price,  $10,000,  and  his  sire  Beau  Ideal  2:15} 
sold  for  $6000.  He  is  an  eight-year-old  son  of  Thomas 
W.  Lawson's  Dare  Devil  2:09,  out  of  Nettie  King  2:20}, 
dam  of  The  Abbott  2:03}.  The  Beau  Ideal's  youngsters 
are  a  high-class  lot,  and  sold  well.  His  oldest  foals 
are  four-year-olds.  Four  of  them  average  $3370  each. 
Seven  of  his  yearlings  average  $770,  and  five  two-year- 
olds  average  $755. 

Young  blood  and  individuality  are  what  breeders 
are  evidently  after,  and  willing  to  pay  for.  Mere 
pedigree  doesn't  count  as  it  used  to  do,  and  the 
glamour  of  great  names  without  the  individuality 
doesn't  seem  to  go  far. 

The  following  comparative  table  of  highest  prices 
for  the  same  number  of  head  of  the  three  leading 
families  in  the  Village  Farm  consignment  will  serve  to 
show  how  the  public  valued  them: 

DIRECT  HAL  AND  HIS  FAMILY.

His  three  highest  priced  rour-year-olds  for U,610

Total  for  twelve  head $27,825

The  price  of  Chimes  was  disappointing  to  many, 
but  then  he  is  in  his  twenty-first  year,  and  has  seen 
much  stud  service.  Considering  his  pre-eminence  in 
siring  extreme  speed,  as  well  as  his  royal  breeding, 
his  new  owner  ought  to  have  a  rare  bargain. 

Dictator,  the  grandsire  of  Direct,  sold  at  relatively 
the  same  age  for  $25,000  and  was  a  profitable  pur- 
chase. This  was  over  twenty  years  ago  when  general 
values  were  lower  than  they  are  now.  Director  2:17, 
when  16  or  17  years  old,  sold  for  $75,000,  as  reported 
at  the  time,  but  this  was  during  the  big  boom  in  trot- 
ters. Directum  2:05}  sold  a  few  years  ago  for  $12,500, 
the  highest  priced  horse  in  the  Spier  dispersal,  and 
more  than  any  of  the  late  Marcus  Daly  trotters 
brought. 

Direct  Hal  2:04}  is  looked  upon  as  one  of  the  coming 
great  sires  of  speed,  and  so  is  Directum  Kelly  (4)2:08}, 
another  son  of  the  ex-champion  Direct  2'054.  Rey 
Direct  2:10  and  Bonnie  Direct  2:05}  are  two  other  sons 
that  have  sired  some  sensationally  fast  and  highly 
valued  youngsters. 

Direct  is  hale  and  hearty,  holding  court  with  his 
son  Directum  Kelly  at  East  View  Farm,  less  than  an 
hour's  ride  from  the  city.  James  Butler,  the  proprie- 
tor, is  to  be  congratulated  upon  the  ownership  of  two 
such  famous  stallions.  As  a  sire  of  extreme  speed 
Direct  is  in  a  class  by  himself.  He  has  now  four  whose 
records  average  faster  than  the  fastest  quartet  sired 
by  any  other  trotting-bred  stallion,  and  apparently 
his  career  as  a  winniDg  sire  is  only  beginning.  It 
looks  now,  however,  that  he  is  destined  to  be  much 
more  than  a  leading  sire.  Hambletonian'B  greatness 
consisted,  Hrst,  in  the  speed  he  produced,  but  far  more 
in  his  ability  to  sire  so  many  sons  greater  than  him- 
self. Direct  is  giving  strong  evidence  of  the  same 
capacity.  He  has  sous  that  already  promise  to  excel 
him  as  a  sire.  If  this  promise  is  fulfilled,  then  Direct 
be  toe  founder  of  a  family  as  much  in  advance  of 
>li  Ionian  as  Hambletonian  was  in  advance  of  old 
Messenger.  When  this  is  done  the  sons  of 
-ill   have  pushed  the  limit  of  speed  below  two 


minutes,  as  the  son6  of  Hambletonian  pushed  it  helow 
2:10.  Jay-Eye-See,  the  first  2:10  trotter,  was  by  Dic- 
tator, grandsire  of  Direct,  and  the  first  trotter  to  beat 
2:05  was  from  a  daughter  of  Dictator.  Direct  is  siring 
a  higher  rate  of  speed  than  Dictator  or  Director,  and 
it  is  strictly  in  line  with  the  family  history  for  hi& 
sons  to  carry  it  a  step  further. 

Certain  it  is  that  it  pays  better  to  breed  into  the 
Direct  family  than  any  other.  The  summaries  of  the 
race  tracks  and  the  records  of  the  show  ring  prove 
beyond  the  shadow  of  a  doubt  that  Direct  is  today 
the  golden  cross.— JY.  T.  Herald,  Feb.  5,  1905. 


Death  of  an  Eastern  Horseman. 


The  Chicago  Horseman  contains  the  following  ac- 
couut  of  the  death  of  Frank  B.  Williams,  which 
occurred  in  Southern  California  last  month: 

Frank  B  Williams,  well  known  to  Grand  Circuit 
horseman,  died  the  other  day  in  Southern  California, 
whither  he  went  about  a  year  ago  in  search  of  health. 
Mr.  Williams,  whose  home  was  in  Corning,  N.  Y.,  was 
not  only  a  familiar  figure  on  the  more  prominent  trot- 
ting tracks,  but  he  was  also  one  of  the  most  popular 
men  who  ever  had  to  do  with  harness  racing.  Some- 
thing like  five  years  ago  he  came  into  prominence  as 
owner  of  the  pacing  stallion  Charley  Hayt,  son  of 
AllertoD,  which  from  the  first  day  he  was  trained 
showed  phenomenal  speed.  W.  L.  Snow  trained 
Williams'  horses  from  the  start,  the  young  man 
always  having  one  or  two  of  Grand  Circuit  caliber  in 
the  Hornellsville  driver's  string,  and  on  more  than 
oie  occasion  the  pair  pulled  off  notable  victories. 

Williams  himself  was  a  born  horseman,  and  nothing 
delighted  him  more  than  to  act  as  voluntary  assistant 
to  Snow  in  his  training  operations.  He  would  be  at 
the  track  early  in  the  morning  to  "work  out"  the 
horses  in  which  he  was  interested,  and  until  every- 
thing connected  with  that  angle  of  the  sport  had  re- 
ceived his  earnest  attention  he  had  no  time  for  any- 
thing else.  Later  in  the  day,  attired  in  the  most  im- 
maculate manner,  he  wa9  to  be  seen  on  the  lavn 
watching  the  races.  Beirjg  a  man  of  independent  for- 
tune he  was  able  to  indulge  his  fancy  for  backing  the 
animals  of  his  choice,  and  his  judgmentof  the  trotters 
and  pacers  was  so  good  that  his  ring  operations 
showed  a  profit  every  season.  He  was  in  no  sense  of 
the  word  a  plunger,  but  at  that  did  not  hesitate  to 
put  down  his  money  in  chunks  when  a  horse  whose 
preparation  he  had  looked  after  was  to  start  and 
Snow  was  in  the  sulky.  -         —

and  ventures  the  opinion  that  there  will  be  much 
breeding  done  in  California  this  year.  Feed  is  so  good) 
and  the  season  has  such  a  prosperous  outlook  that 
owners  are  generally  inclined  to  breed  their  mares, 
especially  as  the  demand  for  good  horses  is  far  ahead 
of  the  suDply.  Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson  sent  a  mare  by  Carr's 
Mambrino  out  of  the  dam  of  Dictatress  2:08|  to  ha 
bred  to  Coronado  2:124  and  a  mare  by  McKinney  out 
of  a  Steinway  dam  to  Petigru  2:10}.  Both  have 
already  been  bred.  Henry  Ayers,  Supervisor  of  Santa 
Clara  county  bred  two  good  mares  by  Chas.  Derby  to 
Almaden  2:22}  last  year  and  both  are  with  foal.  They 
are  already  booked  to  be  bred  back.  A  very  hand- 
some and  fast  pacing  mare  by  Wildnut  has  been 
booked  to  Galindo  and  a  mare  by  Abbotsford  has 
been  booked  to  Coronado  2:124.  Mr.  C  A.  Durfee 
will  breed  his  three  fine  McKinney  mares,  (one  the 
dam  of  Almaden  2:22})  to  Petigru  2:104  this  year. 
Two  of  them  are  now  in  foal  to  Lecco  2:09J.

quarter  at  Pleasanton  on  Wednesday  of  last  wefck  era 
made  it  in  41  seconds,  and  then  repeated  iD  374 
seconds.  Mr.  Henry,  his  owner,  had  this  colt  in  the 
Breeders  Futurity  to  be  trotted  by  three-year-olds 
this  year  but  knowing  that  it  would  be  askirg  too 
much  of  the  colt  to  go  against  the  field  that  will  start 
he  stopped  paying  on  him,  but  wishes  now  tbat  he 
had  broken  and  trained  him  earlier  as  there  was 
never  a  more  promising  colt  for  the  same  handling. 


The  old-fashioned  racing  cutter  is  never  used  on 
ice  any  more,  the  bike  sulky  being  considered  three 
or  four  seconds  faster,  as  the  rubber  tires  do  not  slip 
and  slide  going  around  the  turns  of  a  half-mile  track. 
It  is  pretty  cold,  though,  riding  in  a  bike  sulky.

THOROUGHBREDS. 


• 


* 


The  struggle  for  supremacy  in  Middle  Western  turf 
affairs  is  now  on,  historic  New  Orleans  being  the 
battleground.  A  free  gate  and  purses  ranging  from 
$400  to  $600  will  soon  deplete  the  purses  of  the 
magnates,  and  as  in  all  such  aff  iirs,  it  is  just  a  question 
of  which  side  will  stand  the  loss  longest.  Racing  in  a 
place  like  New  Orleans  cannot  possibly  be  conducted 
by  two  clubs  at  a  profit  to  either,  and  indeed  it  is 
doubtful  if  it  can  be  made  to  pay  in  a  city  even  thesize 
of  Chicago.  Speaking  of  the  latter  place,  well-posted 
men  declare  there  will  be  no  racing  in  the  Windy  City 
this  season,  for  no  law  has  been  passed  in  Illinois  re- 
lieving the  strain  on  track  owners  and  the  Civic 
League  declares  it  will  see  that  the  law  against  bet- 
ting on  horse  races  is  enforced  from  this  out.  That 
will  settle  it.  In  Missouri  the  bill  repealing  the 
Breeders'  law  and  prohibiting  wagering  on  horse 
races  has  passed  the  lower  house  of  the  Legislature 
unanimously,  and  there  must  be  some  magnificent 
optimists  in  that  State  when  they  declare  they  have 
enough  votes  in  the  Senate  to  stifle  the  proposed  bill 
in  that  body.  In  Tennessee  a  like  measure  has  passed 
the  lower  house,  in  Ohio  such  a  law  is  already  in  force, 
likewise  in  Minnesota  and  Wisconsin,  so  that  as  mat- 
ters stand  it  looks  as  if  the  Middle  West  track  owners, 
who  are  generally  in  the  game  "for  revenue  only," 
will  have  to  confine  themselves  to  Kentucky,  Indiana, 
Arkansas  and  Louisiana. 


In  this  State  even,  a  measure  will  be  up  for  passage 
before  the  Assembly  in  a  very  few  days  advising  the 
estoppage  of  betting  on  horse  races,  and  while  it  will 
hardly  pass,  its  author,  Mr.  Espey,  "has  hopes."  My 
idea  is  that  the  bookmaking  and  corruption  by  dis- 
honest persons  in  racing  has  resulted  in  the  feeling 
prevailing  against  "the  running  game."  If  the 
totalizator  or  Paris  Mutual  were  substituted  for  the 
knight  of  the  chalk  a  different  state  of  affairs  would 
exist.  It  might  take  a  little  time  for  bettors  to  realize 
that  it  was  a  better  plan  than  the  one  now  in  vogue, 
but  they  would  see  it  shortly,  and  there  would  not  be 
the  questions  asked  that  one  hears  daily  hereabouts, 

such  as:  "Wonder  if is  trying?  "    "Have  you 

seen  any  'wise  money'  go  on ?"     "Do  you  think 

will  take  that  price  against  his  horse?"  and 


others  not  even  as  pleasant  in  tone  as  these.  With 
the  coming  of  the  totalizator  would  come  an  end  to 
corrupting  jockeys  and  "dividing  sheets"  with  dis- 
honest owners  or  riders  on  horses  that  are  sure  to  be 
played  heavily.  In  order  to  win,  a  winner  would  have 
to  be  picked,  and  the  corruptionists  would  be  sent  to 
the  highways  and  later  to  jails,  where  they  belong, 
the  atmosphere  being  cleared  in  one  season  as  no  turf 
laws  could  clear  it  (where  booking  was  allowed)  in  ten. 
As  to  the  financial  part,  race  track  owners  would  reap 
a  richer  reward  than  at  present,  and  it  can  be  shown 
very  easily.  I  will,  for  example,  say  that  "the  game" 
at  Emeryville  supports  twenty  books,  on  an  average, 
the  SGason  through,  and  counting  an  additional  $100 
for  "the  fielders, "  $2500  per  day  is  realized  from  this 
source.  These  books  will  average  $1000  each  per 
race,  or  $20,000,  and  for  six  races  $120,000  will  be 
handled  each  day.  Some  books,  of  course,  do  not  take 
in  over  $500  per  race,  others  will  go  over  the  $1500 
mark,  so  that  $1000  per  race  is  not  wide  of  the  mark. 
Figuring  on  a  charge  of  5  per  cent  for  the  use  of  the 
totalizator,  $6000  would  be  taken  in  by  the  club  as 
against  $2500  at  present.  If  racing  were  placed  under 
State  protection  and  say  5  per  cert  went  for  the  pay- 
ment of  salaries  of  a  Racing  Commission,  the  reBt  to 
the  fostering  of  the  State  and  district  fairs,  there 
would  be  a  big  surplus  for  the  club,  which  could  raise 
its  purses  and  stakes  to  double  their  present  value, 
and  this  is,  after  all,  supposed  to  be  the  chief  aim  of 
racing  organizations.  At  Los  Angeles  and  around 
San  Francisco  they  will  race  respectively  125  and  165 
days  each  season,  and  Bay  that  $500  per  day  were 
realized  to  the  State  when  both  tracks  were  in  opera- 
tion and  $300  for  San  Francisco,  the  total  would  be 
$74,500.  Other  meetings  throughout  the  State  (the 
fairs  and  all  others)  would  bring  the  total  receipts  up 
to  over  $100,000  per  year  from  the  use  of  the  totali- 
zator. In  South  Australia,  where  "the  machine"  was 
first  used,  the  clubs  have  increased  their  purses  three- 
fold in  ten  years'  time,  and  New  Zealanders  have  the 
same  tale  to  tell.  The  change  in  the  systems  has  made 
a  great  change  in  the  public  also.  Lovers  of  racing 
came  to  a  realization  that  they  were  playing  against 
a  "square  game, "not  a  "brace"  affair,  as  it  was  when 
the  bookmaker  was  dealing  the  cards.  As  books  are 
operated  now,  they  seldom  have  less  than  5  per  cent 
on  their  side  of  the  ledger,  and  from  that  to  thirty 
per  cent,  bo  that  the  public  would  be  the  gainer  if  the 
totalizator  were  put  into  use,  the  clubs  managing  the 
racing  would  realize  twice  the  sum  they  do  at  present 


oyer  the  betting  end  of  "the  game,"  purses  would 
naturally  be  raised  and  the  owners  and  breeders 
greatly  benefited  financially  and,  as  said  before,  the 
turf  would  be  rid  of  its  "hold-up"  men  and  "pirateB" 
who  live  off  the  dishonesty  of  riders  and  owners. 

The  wonder  of  the  turfdom  is  the  employment  of 
Joseph  A.  Murphy  as  presiding  judge  by  Edward 
Corrigan,  at  a  salary  of  $5000  per  annum,  presumably 
for  acting  at  New  Orleans,  Hawthorne  and  Elm  Ridge. 
In  his  old  age  Mr.  Corrigan  seems  to  be  putting  aside 
his  strong  dislikes  and  coming  to  a  realization  that  the 
patrons  of  racing  desire  the  best  judicial  talent  to  be 
had.  Judge  Murphy  has  no  peer  as  a  racing  official, 
to  my  mind.  No  man  is  quicker  to  see  happenings 
during,  before  and  after  a  race  than  he,  and  he  is 
thoroughly  just.  His  trouble  with  Mr.  Corrigan 
dates  back  seven  or  eight  years  and  it  was  over  his 
action  in  saving  Tom  Williams  from  being  declared 
a  turf  putlaw  at  a  Turf  Congress  meeting.  Mr.  W. 
had  steadfastly  refused  to  join  any  governing 
turf  body,  and  over  this  Mr.  Corrigan  thought  he 
would  have  the  Williams  tracks  declared  "outlaw" 
and  at  the  earns  time  "even  up"  an  old  score.  Judge 
Murphy  had  influence  enough  to  prevent  this  by  the 
narrow  margin  of  one  vote,  and  it  was  not  thought 
that  Mr.  Corrigan  would  ever  forgive  him  for  thus 
upsetting  his  plans,  but  he  evidently  has  and  in  the 
St.  Louisan  he  has  secured  a  man  commanding  the 
respect  of  the  entire  racing  community  and  everyone 
else  with  whom  he  comes  in  contact. 


The  successful  stallion  Puryear  D  and  the  Morello 
horse,  Morellito,  are  now  owned  in  Marin  County  by 
a  Mr.  Mason  and  quartered  on  his  farm  are  thirty  odd 
mares,  many  of  them  purchased  by  "White  Hat" 
McCarty  and  a  majority  by  El  Rio  Rey  and  Rey  del 
Sierras.  Dr.  Leggo  by  Puryear  D.  is  the  best  three- 
year  old  in  this  part  of  the  world,  and  has  been  shipped

Register  Horses  Young. 

All  those  who  breed  pure  bred  horses  (pure-bred 
animals  of  any  sort,  for  that  matter)  should  be 
prompt  to  register  them  as  soon  after  birth  as  pos- 
sible. There  is  no  saying  what  heaps  of  trouble  may 
be  Baved,  not  to  speak  of  cash,  by  business-like  atten- 
tion to  this  particular  point.  As  a  sample  of  what 
may  happen  if  registration  is  neglected  the  following 
incident  of  which  we  have  knowledge  may  be  related : 
A  certain  man  having  a  desire  to  move  into  a  far 
country  bargained  to  sell  all  of  his  horses  in  a  band. 
He  had  certificates  for  all  but  two— a  two-year-old 
filly  and  a  suckling.  The  buyer  refused  over  $1000  of 
the  purchase  price  uutil  these  two  certificates  were 
forthcoming.  With  the  foal  it  was  easy,  for  the  ven- 
dor bred  her,  her  sire  and  her  dam  and  he  could  make 
the  necessary  affidavits.  With  the  two-year-old  it 
was  otherwise.  He  had  not  bred  her.  It  was  nec- 
essary to  get  the  affidavit  of  the  owner  of  the  dam  as 
to  the  service.  The  man.  come  to  find  out,  had  been 
dead  for  about  a  year.  The  rules  for  registration 
provided  a  long  and  tedious  method  of  getting 
around  such  a  difficulty.  It  was  months  before  a  cer- 
tificate was  obtained.  In  the  meantime  the  seller 
could  not  start  on  his  journey.  He  had  to  go  hither 
and  thither  in  order  to  procure  the  necessary  evi- 
dence and  if  it  had  not  happened  that  the  original 
owner  of  the  filly  had  during  his  last  mortal  illness 
taken  the  pains  to  record  her  dam  so  that  her  value 
might  not  be  destroyed  in  large  measure  it  would  have 
been  fairly  impossible  ever  to  have  attained  the  regis- 
tration of  the  two-year-old.  The  buyer  refused  to  re- 
cind  the  transaction  in  whole  or  in  part.  He  wanted, 
he  said,  what  he  had  bought  and  he  would  not  let  the 
$1000  placed  in  escrow  leave  the  bank's  custody. 
After  a  lapse  of  several  months,  and  infinity  of  trouble 
and  vexation  and  a  eost  of  nearly  $200  the  certificate 
was  obtained.  Had  the  Ally  been  registered  when  she 
was  three  or  four  months  old  all  would  "have  gone 
smoothly  and  well. 

It  would  hardly  be  the  part  of  wisdom  to  record  foals 
at  ten  day 8 old,  but  they  should  be  recorded  when  about 
three  months  old.  At  any  age  the  color  may  most 
generally  be  properly  distinguished  and  what  marks  a 
foal  has  maybe  seen  then  as  clearly  as  at  any  later 
period.  In  the  event  of  there  being  any  possibility  of 
a  dispute  as  to  the  exact  hue  of  coats  the  facts  may  be 
sufficiently  stated  in  the  application  for  a  certificate. 
But  that  does  not  so  much  maUer  for  the  reason  that 
if  a  mistake  does  occur  in  naming  the  color  of  a  colt  a 
correction  and  registration  may  bo  obtained.  The 
main  point  is  to  have  the  recording  effected  promptly 
so  that  in  any  event  disputeB  and  consequent  losses  of 


time  and  money  may  not  arise.  Of  course,  in  the 
abstract  it  is  not  well  to  lumber  the  books  up  with 
the  names  of  a  lot  of  horses  that  are  dead  and  some 
purebreds  do  die  before  they  are  a  year  old  or  at 
some  other  young  ages,  but  the  percentage  is  so  small 
that  if  all  the  pure  bred  foals  should  be  recorded  be- 
fore they  were  past  three  months  old  there  would  be 
little  dead  wood  in  the  books  compared  to  what  there 
is  under  the  system  now  chiefly  in  vogue,  which  is  of 
a  very  procrastinating  nature.  Another  point  to  be 
urged  in  addition  to  promptitude  is  accuracy  in  every 
detail  connected  with  making  out  the  application.  It 
is  astounding,  if  not  something  more,  to  see  some  of 
the  applications  for  registry  forwarded  to  the  secre- 
taries of  stud  books.  In  one  instance  where  the 
affidavit  of  both  the  owner  of  the  sire  and  the  owner 
of  the  dam  at  time  of  service  is  required  one  man  sent 
in  an  application  without  either  and  when  informed 
that  the  affidavits  were  absolutely  necessary  got  mad 
about  it  and  declared  that  if  they  would  not  take  his 
word  they  could  do  without  his  money — which  they 
did  and  he  without  the  recording  of  his  horse. 

It  is  necessary  to  keep  things  straight  generally 
and  to  prevent  fraud  that  certain  safeguards  be 
thrown  about  the  system  of  registration  and  every 
one  who  breeds  pure-bred  horses  should  do  his  utmost 
to  help  along  the  good  work  of  keeping  false  entries 
out  of  the  books.  Not  alone  that,  but  it  must  be 
remembered  that  secretaries  and  their  assistants  are 
but  human  and  liable  to  err  and  when  they  receive 
blundering  applications  errors  are  semetirr.es  made 
despite  their  best  efforts  to  keep  them  out.  The  best 
way  in  making  out  an  application  is  first  to  read  over 
the  instructions  for  doing  so  most  carefully.  Then 
read  them  all  over  again  and  wheD  they  are  thoroughly 
understood  fill  out  the  blanks,  being  careful  to  supply 
just  such  information  as  is  asked,  and  no  more  and 
no  less.  We  have  seen  an  application  rendered  practi- 
cally valueless  because  the  applicant  had  after  setting 
down  all  that  was  wanted  mixed  it  all  up  higgledy- 
piggledy  with  a  mass  of  statistical  and  extraneous  in- 
formation utterly  irrelevant  to  the  matter  in  hand. 
The  application  had  to  be  returned  with  the  request 
that  the  extra  information  be  left  out  and  delay 
resulted. 

Another  thing,  it  is  pure  foolishness  to  think  that 
the  secretaries  play  aDy  favorites.  They  do  nothing 
of  the  sort.  One  man  gets  just  what  the  other  gets, 
no  more  and  no  less,  unleBS  of  course  there  is  some- 
thing very  radically  wrong,  which  condition  is  sure 
to  right  itself  before  long.  Because  a  secretary  de- 
clines to  accept  a  man's  word  for  something  which 
should  be  sworn  to  does  not  prove  that  he  "has  it  in 
for"  the  applicant.  On  the  contrary  it  proves  that 
he  is  doing  his  duty  and  should  show  that  one  man 
gets  no  more  than  the  other.  From  an  intimate 
knowledge  of  and  acquaintance  with  many  secretarial 
officials  it  may  be  safely  alleged  that  they  are  as  a  rule 
a  thoroughly  representative  set  of  men  who  ad- 
minister the  affairs  entrusted  to  their  keeping  honestly 
and  in  a  business-like  manner.  They  deserve  the 
thorough  co-operation  of  the  breeders,  which  may 
best  be  given  by  recording  stock  young  and  convey- 
ing in  the  application  ju6t  such  information  as  is 
asked  for  and  in  the  manner  asked  for,  no  more  and 
no  leas. — Breeders'  Gazette. 


Pony  Racing  at  Ingleside. 

Those  who  areinteiested  in  the  charities  which  will 
be  beneficiaries  of  the  meeting  of  the  California  Polo 
and  Pony  Racing  Association  at  Ingleside  race  course 
on  Washington's  Birthday  are  working  actively  for 
its  success.  Mrs.  Henry  T.  Scott,  Mrs.  Francis  J. 
Carolan  Bnd  others  will  entertain  parties,  seme  of 
which  will  go  down  in  special  electric  cars,  while 
others  will  avail  themselves  of  the  special  race  train. 
This  will  start  from  Third  and  Townsend  streets  at  a 
reasonable  bour,  returning  immediately  after  the  last 
race. 

There  are  a  number  of  ponies  in  training  at  Ingle- 
side at  present,  and  there  will  be  several  additions 
during  the  next  few  days.  The  extensive  string  of 
Rudolph  Spreckels  is  at  the  track,  and  the  various 
ponies  are  working  strongly. 

Midlove,  the  diminutive  daughter  of  Midlothian,  is 
at  the  track  as  sound  as  a  dollar.  She  worked  a  fast 
quarter.  She  showed  some  temper,  which  indicates 
she  will  need  some  strong  handling  at  the  barrier. 

Charles  W.  Clark's  ponies  are  expected  at  the  track 
daily  from  their  home  track  at  San  Mateo. 

Secretary  Robert  Loighton  received  the  first  entry 
Tuesday  for  the  two-mile  steeplechase  through  the 
field.  This  was  from  John  Lawsoo,  who  named  his 
big  hunter  Vanity  to  carry  his  colors.  The  jumps, 
while  formidable  looking  to  the  spectators,  will  be 
safe  for  the  well-schooltd  hunters  which  will  start.

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


FEDERAL     GAME     PROTECTION. 

Sportsmen  the  country  over  are  vitally  interested 
in  a  bill  fathered  by  Representative  Sniras  and  pro- 
viding practically  for  Federal  game  protection  of 
migratory  fowl  such  as  the  wild  ducks. 

This  is  beyond  any  doubt  the  most  praotical  way  of 
getting  at  the  market  hunters  and  other  enemies  of 
the  birds  who  follow  them  from  North  to  South 
in  their  migrations,  and  thereby  obtain  shooting 
nearly  all  the  year  around. 

It  Is  also  the  only  feasable  way  of  making  the  game 
laws  a  terror  to  those  whose  respect  for  closed  seasons 
and  limits  is  in  direct  proportion  to  their  fear  of  being 
punished.  Few  men  would  "monkey"  with  the  Fed- 
eral law,  though  many  take  chances  on  county  ordin- 
ances without  giving  the  consequences  more  than 
passing  thought. 

The  salient  features  of  the  Shiras'  bill  are  set  forth 
in  the  following: 

"Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives of  the  United  States  of  America  in  Con- 
gress assembled,  that  all  wild  geese,  wild  swans  brant, 
wild  ducks,  snipe,  plover,  woodcock,  rail,  wild  pig- 
eons and  all  other  migratory  game  birds  which  in 
their  northern  and  southern  migrations  pass  through 
or  do  not  remain  permanently  the  entire  year  within 
the  boarders  of  any  State  or  Territory,  shall  here- 
after be  deemed  to  be  within  the  custody  and  protec- 
tion of  the  government  of  the  United  States  and  shall 
not  be  destroyed  or  taken  contrary  to  regulations 
hereinafter  provided  for. 

"Sec.  2.  That  the  Department  of  Agriculture  is 
hereby  authorized  to  adopt  suitable  regulations  to 
give  effect  to  the  previous  section  by  prescribing  and 
fixing  closed  seasons,  having  due  regard  to  the  zones 
of  temperature,  breeding  habits,  and  times  and  line 
of  migratory  flight,  thereby  enabling  the  department 
to  select  and  designate  suitable  districts  for  different 
portions  of  the  country  within  which  said  closed  sea- 
sons it  shall  not  be  lawful  to  shoot  or  by  any  device 
kill  or  seize  aDd  capture  migratory  birds  within  the 
protection  of  this  law,  and  by  declaring  penalties  by 
tine  or  imprisonment,  or  both,  for  violation  of  such 
regulations. 

"Sec.  3.    That  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  after 
the  preparation  of  said  regulations,  shall  cause  the 
same  to  be  made  public  and   shall  allow  a   period   of 
three  months  in  which  said  regulations  may   be  ex- 
aminee and  considered  before  final  adoption,  permit- 
ting, '.,-hen  deemed  proper,  public  hearings  thereon, 
and  a  ier  final  adoption  to  cause  same  to  be  engrossed 
v  -    bmitted  to  the  President  of  the  United   States 
Droval:    Provided,  however,  that  nothing  here 
:    led  shall  be  deemed  to  affect  or  interfere  with 


the  local  laws  of  the  States  and  Territories  lor  the 
protection  of  game  localized  within  their  borders,  nor 
to  prevent  the  States  and  Territories  from  enacting 
laws  and  regulations  to  promote  and  render  efficient 
the  regulations  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture 
provided  under  the  statute." 

The  only  objection  to  this  measure  that  can  be 
raised  is  general  regret  at  its  tardiness.  The  mi- 
gratory game  of  the  United  States  should  have  been 
under  Federal  control  ten  yetrs  ago  at  least.  Sports- 
men the  country  over  would  do  well  to  write  their 
Congressman,  asking  his  support  of  the  Sbiras  bill. 


ENFORCE  STATE  GAME  LAWS. 

The  Los  Angeles  Tiynes  has  taken  up  a  theme  often 
advocated  by  this  journal  and  pertinently  reiterates 
the  subject  as  follows: 

There  has  been  too  much  jockeying  with  the  game 
laws. 

What  California  needs  is  not  a  new  batch  of  game 
and  fish  regulations  every  two  years,  but  an  intelli- 
gent, indiscriminate  enforcement  of  those,  now'on  the 
books.  If  it  be  thought  advisable  to  reduce  the  bag 
limit  to  twenty-five  ducks  in  order  to  have  a  uniform 
figure  and  still  further  curtail  the  butchery  of  the 
State's  wards,  all  well  and  good,  but  the  crying  need 
of  the  hour  is  not  "legislation"  but  "enforcement." 

Game  laws  without  enforcement  are  a  joke.  No 
statutes  in  the  Penal  Code  are  less  likely  to  be  taken 
seriously.  In  many  sectionsof  the  State — Tulare  Lake 
for  instance— the  bag  limit  is  a  jest  and  not  even  a  pre- 
tense is  made  of  its  observance.  Faithful  obedience 
to  the  game  laws  is  a  matter  of  education  and  the 
sportsman-public  sometimes  seems  woefully  ignorant. 

It  is  a  lamentable  fact  that  there  is  practically  no 
provision  made  by  the  State  for  compelling  men  to 
respect  the  game  laws.  A  Board  of  Fish  Commission- 
ers is  appointed  and  a  few  deputies,  but  they  are  un- 
able to  cover  a  tenth  of  the  field. 

Game  and  fish  form  valuable  assets  to  a  community, 
they  have  been  proved  more  valuablein  the  field  than 
in  cold  storage.  The  State's  title  is  clear;  why  then 
does  it  not  protect  its  own? 

The  legislators  at  Sacramento  may  quibble  over 
bag  limits  and  districting  of  the  State  if  they  will; 
they  may  listen  to  this  side,  and  to  that;  they  may 
give  the  sportsmen  a  better  law  than  the  piesent,  or 
a  worse  one.  It  makes  comparatively  little  difference 
what  they  do  unless  they  make  some  provis'on  that 
brings  the  mailed  hand  of  authority  into  the  breach. 

It  would  be  a  pity  if  this  fog  of  "bag  limit"  "dis- 
tricts" and  "license"  were  permitted  to  obscure  the 
real  want — the  crying  need  of  the  State's  wards  which 
is, 

"Protection  that  protects." 

Verily,  let  there  be  light  in  the  legislative  halls  at 
Sacramento.  

STATE    GAME    LAW    LEGISLATION. 

The  outlook  is  favorable  against  much  of  a  fight 
over  proposed  fish  and  game  legislation  this  session 
of  the  Legislature — except  over  the  bag  limit  on 
ducks.  This  question,  it  is  reported,  will  have  to  be 
tried  out  in  both  branches,  however,  but  practically 
all  other  points  at  issue  have  been  about  settled. 

The  bill  championed  by  the  California  Fish  and 
Game  Protective  Association,  prohibiting  the  sale  of 
ducks  in  the  markets  has  been  withdrawn, practically, 
and  other  drastic  features  of  proposed  legislation 
have  been  abandoned  as  the  result  of  mutual  conces- 
sions by  the  State  Fish  and  Game  Commission  and 
the  representatives  of  many  gun  clubs. 

The  Fish  and  Game  Committee  reported  favorably 
says  the  Sacramento  Bee,  the  bill  leaving  the  bag 
limit  on  ducks  at  fifty,  and  approving  the  varicus 
features  of  an  omnibus  bill  which  has  taken  the  place 
of  the  several  independent  measures  treating  of  fish 
and  game  legislation.

threatens  to  fight  for  the  opening  of  the  duck  season 
on  October  1st  instead  of  October  15tb. 

The  amendment  to  the  bill  of  Drew  of  Fresno  con- 
ferring police  power  upon  deputies  of  the  Fish  Com- 
mission in  the  matter  of  searching  piemises  where  it 
is  believed  the  law  is  being  violated  it  is  claimed  would 
rob  that  measure  of  its  effectiveness. 

The  bill  as  introduced  by  Drew  gave  the  right  of 
search  to  deputies  of  wagons,  railway  trains,  steam- 
ships, 6tores  and  houses,  without  search  warrants  in 
all  cases  where  there  was  reason  to  believe  that  fish 
and  game  laws  were  being  violated. 

The  bill  has  been  amended  in  such  a  way  as  to  ex- 
empt private  and  public  cold  storage  plants  from 
search,  this  exception  will  render  the  bill  ineffective 
to  a  great  degree. 

BILL    TO    LIMIT     SEINING. 

The  bill  introduced  by  Hon.  Cbas.  M.  Shortridge 
which  is  designed  to  limit  the  work  of  net  fishermen 
and  keep  them  from  seining  in  a  zone  extending  1000 
feet  on  each  side  of  every  wharf  seems  to  have  been 
prompted  by  salt  water  anglers  down  in  tbe  southern 
part  of  the  State  At  San  Diego,  WilmingtoD, 
Redondo  beach,  San  Pedro,  Santa  Monica  and 
numerous  other  favorite  resorts  of  the  sea  fisherman 
the  inroads  of  the  net  men  have  been  a  serious  menace 
to  a  continuance  of  both  the  sport  and  the  fish  supply. 
Hence  to  curb  the  rapacity  of  the  alleged  fish 
slaughterers  the  southern  knights  of  the  bamboo  rod 
rushed  post  haste  to  Sacramento,  the  apparently 
common  refuge  of  the  individual  with  a  grievance, 
and  had  presented  the  bill  mentioned.  We  believe 
the  measure  is  a  good  one  and  should  have  the  support 


of  all  sportsmen  anglers.  The  southern  fisheimen 
have  made  a  move  that  local  anglers  should  have  aone 
long  ago.  As  the  matter  now  stands  the  local  food 
fish  supply  is  in  the  hands  of  a  cold  blooded  trust- 
incidentally  the  bay  anglers'  sport  is  in  jeopardy,  for 
the  net  men  often  make  their  best  hauls  right  on  the 
fishing  grounds  of  the  anglers,  in  fact  the  net  men 
have  frequently  laid  up  until  they  found  out  where 
the  rod  and  line  fishers  were  getting  fish  and  then 
they  would  "butt  in." 

A  report  from  Los  Angeles  shows  how  the  situation 
is  viewed  down  south. 

Sea  fishermen  the  State  over  are  making  a  concerted 
effort  to  persuade  the  Legislature  to  pass  the  bill 
recently  introduced  by  Senator  C.  M.  Shortridge 
establishing  a  limit  to  the  operations  of  seiners. 
Shortridge  thinks  he  can  obtain  the  legislation 
desired  if  the  sportsmen  stay  with  him  in  the  fight, 
and  to  that  end  several  petitions  have  been  circulated 
among  local  anglers  by  Harry  Slotterbeck  and  others 
who  fish.  These  have  been  signed  quite  generally 
and  are  still  open. 

The  conflict  between  sportsmen  and  seiners  is  no 
new  thing  in  this  county,  having  been  fought  out 
several  years  ago  when  the  local  Board  of  Supervisors 
acceded  to  the  demands  of  the  anglers  in  a  compro- 
mise measure  of  250  feet  which  has  not  been  an  un- 
qualified success,  though  it  curtailed  to  some  extent 
the  operations  of  the  net  gentry.  No  county  ordi- 
nance carries  the  weight  of  a  State  law,  and  the  250- 
foot  limit  -was  iound  not  enough  owing  to  the  con- 
tinual encroachments  of  the  violators.  Considering 
the  vast  amount  pj  territory  available  to  the  pro- 
fessional slaughterers  of  infant  fish,  it  was  thought 
reasonable  enough  to  ask  for  a  thousand  feet. 

The  local  petitions  will  be  sent  North  before  the 
middle  of  the  week,  so  it  behooves  the  anglers  to  lose 
no  time  if  they  desire  to  add  their  mite  to  the  offering 
of  signatures  that  will  be  sent  to  Sacramento  as  back- 
ing for  Mr.  Shortridge. 


SPORT    WITH    THE    YELLOWTAIL. 

What  the  Southern  California  anglers  are  fighting 
for,  their  main  reliance  for  sport  with  rod  and  line  as 
it  were,  will  be  readily  seen  in  the  following  notes 
respecting  the  fishing  at  San  Pedro  recently.  The 
importance  of  curbing  the  net  men— whose  opportu- 
nities will  be  in  no  way  impaired,  is  a  matter  of  vital 
interest.  The  festive  yellowtail  has  been  standing  his 
admirers  on  their  heads  with  all  manner  of  unseason- 
able pranks  duriDg  the  past  fortnight. 

These  amber-  finned  beauties  are  popularly  supposed 
to  be  a  summer  product,  Dot  to  be  located  in  winter 
without  a  search  warrant,  and  only  to  be  caught  by  a 
series  of  fortuitous  accidents,  says  Scribe  Hedderly. 
Whether  for  the  same  reason  that  drove  the  pompano 
into  San  Pedro  bay,  or  just  to  "show  their  authority" 
like  the  cop  on  the  corner,  the  big  gamy  fellows  have 
now  been  in  evidence  for  several  weeks  along  shore 
and  good  catches  of  them  have  been  the  rule  rather 
than  the  exception,  although  this  is  the  month  of 
January  when  fishing  outside  is  supposed  to  be  at  its 
lowest  ebb. 

Parties  which  went  to  the  breakwater  last  week 
encountered  a  big  school  of  yellowtail  inside  the  end 
of  the  government  work,  and  had  a  piscatorial  picnic 
for  several  hours,  catching  a  Dice  box  of  the  finny 
athletes  and  losing  at  least  as  many  more.  Farther 
out  in  the  channel,  where  the  albicore  and  bonita  are 
supposed  to  be  at  home,  occasional  leaD,  roving  ' 'razor 
backs"  are  encountered,  one  Long  beach  boat  catch- 
ing three  last  Monday. 

The  sport  with  big  fish  inside  at  San  Pedro  has 
been  unprfcedentedly  good  and  skilled  rodsters  have 
succeeded  in  taking  three  or  four  in  a  day  when  a 
liberal  supply  of  live  bait  could  be  secured  as  wanted. 
Veteran  anglers  are  at  a  loss  to  account  for  such  do- 
ings and  declare  they  never  knew  anything  like  it 
before,  as  the  yellowtail,  even  when  drawn  inside  by 
following  the  sardine  boat  as  she  comes  home  from 
successful  hauls,  seldom  linger  long  but  usually  hie 
themselves  back  to  the  open  sea  at  once.  This  winter 
a  plentiful  supply  of  small  fry  in  the  bav  has  assured 
the  big  fellows  food,  and  that  is  douDtless  tbe  ex- 
planation of  their  staying  around  thesardine  canoery. 
.  The  sport  with  kingfish,  smelts,  pompaDO  and 
"herriDg"  has  been  injured  a  little  by  the  yellowtail 
though  small  tackle  wielders  succeed  in  getting  all 
the  fry  material  that  they  can  use  or  care  to  give 
away. 

J  A.  Cox,  W.G.  and  Joe  Boyer  and  Harry  Harrison 
of  Nebraska  went  outside  during  the  week  od  a  trol- 
ling expedition  and  caught  thirty-three  gi  od  sized 
fish,  nineteen  of  them  being  bonita.  When  the 
Nebraska  gentlemen  saw  these  black  and  silv  r  beau- 
ties boardiDg  the  boat  after  the  wild,  whirling  fight 
characteristic  of  their  courageous  kind,  wonder  was 
freely  expressed  and  by  the  time  twenty  of  them  had 
been  boated,  several  anglers  were  about  ready  to  cut 
their  moorings  and  jump  overboard  in  the  excess  of 
their  joy,  having  never  before  experienced  anything 
like  it.  The  same  party  trolled  through  the  kelp 
between  Point  Vincent  and  Point  Fermin,  catchiDg 
eleven  three-pound  bass  and  three  big  yellowtail, 
which  were  unanimously  voted  to  have  "taken  the 
cake."  The  tourists  brought  back  somefearful,  won- 
derful tales  of  their  experiences. 

The  fishing  all  along  shore  has  been  quite  good  dur- 
ing the  week,  and  prospects  are  a  shade  better  today 
than  is  usual  at  this  season.  A  few  eorbina  have  been 
caught  at  Huntington  Beach.  Plenty  of  bass,  sheeps- 
head  and  whitefish  can  be  had  at  the  breakwater  out- 
side San  Pedro,  and  the  trolling  seems  worth  while 
too.  ■ 

ONE     OF     THE    OLD     GUARD. 

"Boh"  Liddle  was  a  prominent  figure  in  the  coterie 
of  local  sportsmen  in  the  early  70's.  As  an  exemplar 
of  the  phrase  "Dead  game  oH  sport,"  Mr.  Liddle  has 
possibly,  the  unchallenged  distinction  of  being  alone 
in  his  class.  For  among  the  thousands  of  devotees  of 
the  shotgun  hailing  from  this  city  or  any  other  point 
on  the  Coast,  for  that  matter,  what  individual  of  them 
over  80  years  of  age  will  be  found  who  can   go  out  on

a  marsh  and  loaded  down  with  the  weight  of  gun, 
ammunition,  gum  boots,  etc.,  sit  in  a  blind  for  several 
hours  and  shoot  nearly  two  dozsn  ducks  over  the 
decoys? 

Bob  Liddle,  now  eleven  years  beyond  the  alloted 
three  score  and  ten  mark,  accomplished  without  ex- 
tra fatigue  a  duck  shooting  stunt  two  weeks  ago  Sun- 
day on  the  salt  marsh  near  Alvarado  that  is  not  often 
exceeded  by  hunters  half  a  century  younger.  He  was 
the  guest  of  Mr  and  Mrs.  George  Franzen  at  their 
comfortable  ark  near  that  station,  and  had  gone  over 
the  day  previous  for  the  purpose  of  enjoying  a  duck 
shoot — "one  more  before  the  season  closed,"  as  he  put 
it.  With  most  ail  sportsmen  it  would  be  regarded  as 
"curtains"  so  far  as  the  gun  was  concerned;  not  so 
with  Bob.  Mr.  Liddle,  who  is  well  preserved  and  full 
of  ginger,  waB  piloted  out'Sunday  morning  and  in- 
stalled in  a  blind.  He  shot  for  several  hours,  during 
the  flight,  and  accounted  for  18  ducks — sprigs  and 
teal,  principally.  These  birds  were  all  bagged  on 
wiog  shots.  Anyone  who  has  tried  teal  in  flight  will 
understand  that  the  old  sportsman  had  notJost  his 
old  time  skill  of  pointing  the  "spout"  to  the  right 
place.  What  makes  this  performance  the  more  re- 
markable was  that  he  deliberately  left  his  "specs" in 
the  ark.  When  he  returned  from  his  shoot  he  carried 
without  fatigue  the  bag  of  18  ducks,  gun,  etc.,  the 
whole  impedimeata  being  an  extra  weight  of  at  least 
75   pounds. 

Mr.  Liddle  will  be  remembered  by  the  "old  timers'' 
and  also  a  few  of  the  younger  generation  as  an  expert 
gunsmith.  In  the  late  60"s  the  sporting  goods  store 
of  Liddle  &  Kaeding,  on  Washington  street,  below 
Montgomery,  was  the  headquarters  of  the  shooters 
and  anglers  of  the  city.  A  shotgun  or  rifle  was  not 
looked  upon  as  worthy  of  ownership  until  the  opinion 
of  Bob  Liddle  on  its  merits  was  obtained.  In  the  old 
days  of  pigeon  shooting  at  the  Pioneer  race  track, 
San  Bruno,  Bay  View,  etc.,  Mr.  Liddle  was  a  con- 
tender with  the  most  skillful  shots  of  that  day — most 
of  these  old-time  sportsmen  have  gone  over  the  river 
long  since. 

Mr.  Liddle  was  a  noted  expert  in  making  or  repair- 
ing any  kind  of  a  firearm,  and  to  this  day  can  do 
work,  old  as  he  is,  that  is  not  excelled  by  younger 
artisans.  Recently  he  restocked  two  shotguns,  the 
gun  he  used  in  bagging  the  ducks  was  one  that  he  had 
made  himself.  Taken  all  in  all  the  old  veteran's  shoot 
on  Sunday  was  a  marvelous  performance,  the  re- 
counting of  which  will  be  read  with  pleasurable  sur- 
prise by  a  large  number  of  sportsmen,  many  of  whom 
know  by  repute  Bob's  mettle,  but  few  are  wise  to  the 
sturdy  route  he  can  still  travel. 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  local  blue  rock  season  will  commence  on 
Wednesday  at  the  Ingleside  grounds.  The  shoot  will 
be  under  the  auspices  of  the  Golden  Gate  and  Union 
Gun  Clubs.  A  good  program  has  been  arranged  as 
follows: 

Event  1 — 15  targets,  entrance  SI.  Three  moneys, 
Rose  system. 

Event  2 — 15  targets,  entrance  SI.  Class  shooting, 
50,  30  and  20%. 

Event  3 — 20  targets,  entrance  $1  25.  Four  moneys, 
Rose  system. 

Event  4 — 20  targets,  entrance  $1  25.  Class  shooting, 
35,  30,  20  and  15%. 

Event  5 — 20  targets,  entranco  $1.25.  Enyart  system 
(with  three  side  pools). 

Event  6 — 15  targets,  entrance  $1.  Reverse  system. 
Class  shooting  50,  30  and  20%. 

Other  events  will  be  arranged  if  time  permits. 


The  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  regular  monthly  blue 
rock  shoots  will  be  held  at  Ingleside  on  the  first  Sun- 
day of  each  month,  commencing  March  5th  and  end- 
ing on  September  3d. 

The  Union  Gun  Club  blue  rock  schedule  for  this 
season  at  the  Ingleside  grounds  will  start  with  the 
first  club  shoot  Sunday  March  19th.  The  regular 
shoots  will  thereafter  take  place  on  the  third  Sunday 
of  each  month.  

A  slight  change  in  the  date  of  the  California  Wing 
Club  live  bird  shoots  is  announced  for  this  season. 
The  regular  club  shoots  will  be  held  on  the  second 
Sunday  of  each  month  instead  of  the  first  Sunday 
monthly  as  has  been  the  custom  for  years  past. 


Trap  shooting  promises  to  have  quite  an  impetus 
this  season.  An  encouraging  outlook  for  the  sport 
is  tne  number  of  new  beginners  that  have  joined  the 
scatter-gun  brigade. 

An  indication  of  the  enthusiam  prevailing  in  the 
ranks  of  the  new  shooters  is  shown  in  the  following 
remarks  of  a  shooter  who  two  seasons  ago  hardly 
knew  one  end  of  a  gun  from  the  other.  It  will  be 
noticed  that  he  is  a  pretty  close  observer  and  has 
used  his  short  application  to  the  sport  to  an  intelligent 
end.     He  says: 

'The  recreation  is  a  superb  one  and  is  followed  by 
men  all  over  the  country.  Like  other  pastimes,  there 
are  various  styles.  At  the  trap  some  men  lean  for- 
ward; others  put  both  feet  together  and  keep  upright. 
It's  all  a  matter  of  taste.  There  is  one  point  that  I 
got  onto  and  that  £  ever  try  to  observe.  In  live  pig- 
eon shooting  when  there  are  five  traps  1  usually 
cover  the  center  one  of  the  five  traps. 

"I  have  read  that  a  prominent  Eastern  shooter  ad- 
vocates watching  the  three  traps  to  the  right.  That 
isn't  good,  it  struck  me,  for  the  reason  that,  suppose 
a  bird  came  from  the  extreme  left  trap,  he  would  not 
see  it  for  some  time.  Watch  the  center  and  you  can 
see  on  all  sides.  As  soon  as  the  bird  is  trapped  cover 
it  to  get  in  the  first  load  while  it  is  within  five  yards  of 
the  trap.  If  missed  remember  that  time  is  one  of  the 
important  points  of  the  game,  and  don't  waste  any  in 
getting  the  second  after  it. 

"Blue  rock  or  target  shooting  I  found,  is  entirely 
different  from  live  bird  shooting,  and  requires  much 
quickness.       The   whole  secret  lies  in  leading    and 


swinging.  Any  shooter  who  has  a  habit  of  swinging 
ahead  of  a  target,  then  stopping  to  pull  the  trigger, 
will  never  make  a  good  target  shot.  It  is  almost  im- 
possible to  be  too  quick  at  target  shooting,  as  at  35 
yards  the  load  has  s  much  better  and  closer  pattern 
than  at  40  yards.  The  distance  that  is  generally 
used  between  the  score  and  trap  bulkhead,  is  sixteen 
yards,  and  sometimes  as  far  as  22  yards.  The  time 
that  elapses  from  the  instant  the  target  leaves  the 
trap  till  it  has  gone  some  25  or  30  yards  is  about  two 
to  four  seconds,  according  to  the  strength  of  the 
the  tension  of  the  spring,  and  is  generally  thrown 
from  50  to  60  yards." 


The  Committee  expresses  the  hope  that  there  will 
be  a  prompt  all  around  response  in  order  that  it  may 
make  its  recommendation  intelligently  in  this  matter 
at  the  May  meeting.

EXHIBITORS    AND    SHOW    SECRETARIES. 

The  discussion  at  the  December  meeting  as  to  the 
interpretation  of  certain  rules,  followed  by  the  meet- 
ing of  the  Rules  Committee,  obliges  us  to  give  special 
warning  to  the  exhibitors  on  the  subject  of  filling  in 
entry  blanks. 

To  avoid  cancellation  of  wins  at  shows,  the  follow- 
ing points  must  be  carefully  noted : 

If  the  name  of  a  dog  is  not  given  precisely  as 
registered,  even  to  the  proper  spelling,  and  if  any 
mistake  is  made  in  the  stud  book  number,  date  of 
birth,  breeder,  sire  or  dam,  the  award  must  be  can- 
celled. If  the  stud  book  number  of  a  registered  dog 
is  not  given,  the  award  must  be  cancelled. 

Should  any  of  the  above  particulars  be  unknown  to 
the  exhibitor,  it  must  be  so  stated  on  the  entry  b  lank 
as  "breeder  unknown,"  "date  of  birth  unknown," 
etc.  If  this  is  not  done,  the  award  must  be  can- 
celled . 

It  is  not  sufficient  to  have  the  name  alone  correct, 
or  the  stud  book  number  alone  correct:  every  detail 
of  the  entry  must  be  correct,  or  the  award  must  be 
cancelled. — American  Kennel  Qazette. 


CARELESSNESS    OR    MISTAKES    IN    ENTRIES. 

In  reference  to  the  warning  to  exhibitors  and  show 
secretaries  published  in  the  American  Kennel  Gazette, 
the  A.  K.  C.  Rules  Committee  considered  the  matter 
of  changing  Rule  III,  Section  2,  Governing  Clubs,  at  a 
meeting  held  January  18th. 

It  was  the  opinion  of  the  majority  that  the  rule 
should  stand  as  it  now  exists,  as  any  change  would 
open  the  door,  or  countenance,  greater  careles6neSB 
on  the  part  of  exhibitors. 

The  minority  conclusion  was  that  errors  of  spelling 
dogs'  names,  or  leaving  off  any  initials  or  numerals  in 
connection  therewith,  which,  under  the  present  rule, 
disqualify  a  dog's  win,  with  injustice  to  theexhibitor, 
could  be  avoided  by  the  amendment  to  the  section, 
after  the  words  "registered  names,"  "such  names  to 
be  identified  by  the  registered  number." 

The  committee  concluded  that  the  matter  of  any 
registration  change  being  of  such  importance  that  it 
would  be  preferable  to  first  hear  from  the  bona  fide 
breeders  and  fanciers  throughout  the  country.  With 
this  in  view  the  committee  invites  communications 
upon  the  following  points: 

Whether  the  rules  governing  registration  should 
remain  as  they  now  exist,  or  whether  there  should  be 
required  notarially  signed  certificates  from  the  own- 
ers of  sire  and  dam  to  correctness  of  pedigree  of  any 
puppy  to  be  registered  which  is  born  after  July  1, 
1905. 

Whether  there  should  be  required  a  certificate  ped- 
igree from  the  Kennel  Clubof  the  country  from  which 
a  dog  is  imported  to  be  attached  to  the  application  for 
registration  by  the  owner  of  such  imported  dog, 


SPRING     SHOW     NOTES. 


The  President's  trophy,  donated  by  Mr.  Chas.  K. 
Harley,  will  this  year  be  awarded  to  the  best  dog  or 
bitch  shown  in  the  largest  class  of  any  breed  exhibited. 


Mr.  Wm.  Ellery  will  donate  a  cup  to  be  given  to  the 
best  pup,  dog  or  bitch,  exhibited  by  a  member  of  the 
Golden  State  Collie  Club. 


Mr.  Hugh  McCrackin,  secretary  of  the  Golden  State 
Collie  Club,  Btates  that  there  is  now  twenty-six  paid 
up  members  on  the  club  roll — with  a  fair  number  to 
hear  from  yet.  Among  those  representing  the  out  of 
town  membership  are  Thos.  S.  Griffiths  of  Spokane, 
Mrs.  W.  E.  Bogen  (nee  Delia  Beach)  of  Campbells, 
Norman  J.  Stewart  of  San  Jose  and  O.  J.  Albee  of 
Lawrence. 

Two  lately  imported  English  Fox  Terrier  cracks 
are  now  on  the  Eastern  circuit.  They  are  recent 
purchases  by  a  local  Fox  Terrie:'  fancier  and  will  be 
entered  at  the  S.  F.  K.  C.  show  and  possibly  one  or 
two  of  the  Northern  shows  before  arriving  here. 


PRIVATE     FIELD    TI1IAL. 

The  difference  of  opinion  respecting  the  merits  of 
of    Attorney   McWade's    English     Setter     Tonopah 

(Clipper  W. )  and    Jas.  W.  Dunham's  English 

Setter  Plumas  (Cavalier-Love  Knot)  was  settled  by  a 
trial  contest  between  the  dogs  that  took  place  last 
Sunday  near  Bodega  cross  roads,  Sonoma  countv. 

The  race  was  conducted  under  field  trial  rules  and 
was  run  for  about  four  hours.  Both  dogs  made  a 
good  showing,  and  were  going  better  at  the  end  of 
the  heat  than  many  dogs  do  after  a  run  of  half  that 
length  of  time. 

A  Bmall  attendance  of  sportsmen  were  on  hand  to 
view  the  trial.  The  judges  were  William  Dormer, 
J.  W.  Orear  and  H.  B.  Jeffrey.  The  loser  enter- 
tained a  party  of  ten  at  a  dinner 

Plumas  was  bred  by  P.  D.  Linville.  Dr.  C.  E. 
Wilson  bred  Tonopah. 

GLEN    TANA    KENNEL    NOTES. 

The  demand  for  well  bred  Collies  seems  to  be  good 
at  present  judging  from  the  announcement  of  recent 
sales  by  the  Spokane  kennels  sent  by  Manager  Donald 
McGregor  who  writes  us: 

"I  am  glad  to  report  the  following  sales  of  Collie 
pups  this  month,  viz.:  Bitch  and  dog  to  Rosalia, 
Washington;  dog  pup  to  5-Mile  Prairie,  Washington; 
bitch  pup  to  Colfax,  Washington;  bitch  pup  to  Hotch- 
kiss,  Colorado:  dog  pup  to  Bend,  Oregon." 


YOUNG    COLLIE    CHANGES     OWNER. 

Dr.  W.  P.  Burnham  recently  sold  to  Mr.  D.  T. 
Murphy  of  this  city,  the  Collie  dog  Sunset  Marvel 
(Brookmere  Masterpiece  -  Ch.  Brandane  Dolliel. 
Marvel  was  shown  here  last  year.  He  is  looked  upon 
as  one  of  the  beBt  headed  young  dogs  on  the 
Coast.  He  is  one  of  the  litter  Brandane  Dollie  was  in 
whelp  with  when  she  came  out  here  to  Dr.  Burnham. 


CALIEORNIA    COCKER    CLUB 

The  club  exhibit  of  Cockers  will  be  an  attractive 
feature  of  the  May  show.  President  J.  Hervey  Jones 
states  that  besides  the  regular  club  medals  a  number 
of  valuable  cups  and  trophies  have  also  been  donated 
as  prizes  for  winning  Cockers  owned  by  club  members. 

The  club  has  a  large  membership  and  is  in  a  very 
prosperous  condition,  better  now  than  at  any  time  in 
its  history.  Besides  a  strong  local  membership,  the 
club  includes  a  list  of  members  located  in  various 
Coast  cities  and  towns.  Mrs.  E.  F.  Willis  of  Portland, 
Dr.  C.  W.  Sharpies  of  Seattle,  Mr.  Hugh  Maldin  and 
Mrs.  Mason  ef  Sacramento  are  among  the  prominent 
out  of  town  fanciers  who  are  members  of  the  club.

WANDEE    KENNELS. 

Mr.  Charles  K.  Harley  was  in  attendance  at  the 
Westminster  Kennel  Club  show  in  New  York  this 
week. 

It  is  reported  that  Mr.  Chas.  Lyndon,  manager  of 
the  Norfolk  Fox  Terrier  Kennels,  Toronto,  Canada, 
for  eome  years  past,  has  been  engaged  for  Wandee 
Kennels.  Mr.  Lyndon  will  take  Ch.  Norfolk  Veracity 
with  him.  

NELLIE    P.    DEAD. 

Mr.  F.  H  Jermyn,  a  well  known  Eastern  sportsman, 
who  usually  visits  the  Coast  each  winter,  had  the 
misfortune  to  loBe  that  good  Pointer  bitch  Nellie  P. 
last  week.  Nellie  was  at  Kenwood  Kennels  and  while 
taking  a  run  in  charge  of  W.  B.  Coutts  showed 
symptoms  of  illness.  Coutts  immediately  took  the 
bitch  home  and  attended  to  her  but  unavailingly  for 
she  died  the  same  night.  Mr.  Jermyn  purchased 
Nellie  from  J.  W.  Flynn  at  the  recent  Bakersfield 
trials.  

ILLEGAL    PRACTIONERS.

It  strikes  us  that  the  association  ana  its  omcial 
publication,  under  the  circumstances,  are  indeed  ex- 
ceeding complimentary.  Most  dog  men  dabble  in

COAST    ADVISORY    BOiKD     COMPLIMENTED. 

The  current  number  of  the  A.  K.  GnzzetU  is  em- 
bellished with  a  full  page  containing  portraits  of  the 
Coast  Committee.  The  style  and  appearance  of  the 
illustrations  are  in  keeping  with  the  following  com- 
mendatory paragraph: 

"We  give  in  this  number  the  portraits  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  that  of  Mr.  H.  H.  Carlton,  whose  photograph 
unfortunately  did  not  arrive  in  time.  The  Pacific 
Advisory  Board  was  formed  in  1895  after  a  visit  to  the 
Coast  by"  Mr.  A.  P.  Vredenburgh. 

"In  his  speech  on  that  occasion  be  said:  'Recogniz- 
ing the  expediency  and  mutual  advantages  derived 
from  a  bond  of  union  between  the  Kennel  Clubs  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  and  the  National  Body,  the  American 
Kennel  Club,  in  its  desire  to  foster  and  keep  alive  the 
kennel  interests  of  this  great  country,  has  conferred 
upon  me  the  honoi  to  represent  it.  *  *  *. '  The 
rules  of  procedure  adopted  by  the  Pacific  Advisory 
Committee  were  submitted  and  approved  the  follow- 
ing vear. 

"The  resolutions  passed  on  July  23,  1904,  disqualify- 
ing all  officers  of  Clubs  holding  shows  under  the  rules 
of  the  Western  Kennel  League,  or  under  rules  other 
than  those  of  the  American  Kennel  Club,  west  of  the 
110th  degree  of  longitude,  was  by  far  the  most  import- 
ant action  yet  taken  by  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board. 

"Mr.  De  Ruvter  became  a  member  of  the  Board  in 
1897,  and  Chairman  in  1899.  Mr.  H.  H  Cariton  and 
Mr.  J.  P.  Norman,  the  present  Secretary,  became 
members  in  1899.  Mr.  Harley  "and  Dr.  Burham 
joined  the  Board  a  few  years  later. 

"Mr.  De  Ruvter  is  a  popular  and  influential  Chair- 
man, and  Mr.  J.  P.  Norman  an  active  and  intelligent 
Secretary,  and  with  the  advice  of  the  other  members 
of  the  Board,  who  are  thoroughly  interested  in  all 
kennel  matters,  the  Pacific  Coast  affairs  are  in  good 
hands.''  

A    CASETE    PORCUPINE. 

An  armor  coat  for  dogs,  says  Forest  and  Stream, 
designed  to  serve  as  a  protection  against  automobiles, 
is  the  invention  of  a  New  Yorker.  The  coat  is  stud- 
ded with  many  sharp,  steel  spikes,  creasing  a.steel- 
spined  porcupioe,  as  it  were.  If  the  armored  dog  is 
run  into  by  an  auto  the  sharp  spikes  will  puocture 
the  tire,  and  the  rush  of  air  from  the  busted  rubber 
at  once  blows  the  dog  away  and  out  of  danger. 

We  might  suggest  that  when  the  dog  was  not  filling 
in  time  by  putting  stink-wagons  out  of  business  that 
the  owner  could  use  his  spare  moments  to  advantage 
by  training  the  dog  to  roll  over.  Thus,  in  passing  a 
fruit  stand  or  on  a  surreptitious  visit  to  the  corner 
grocery,  at  a  given  signal  the  dog  could  indulge  in  a 
frolicky  roll  over  a  tray  of  apples  or  through  a  box  of 
praties"  and  then  make  tracks  for  home  barnacled 
with  a  cargo  of  acceptable  pick-ups  for  the  larder  of  a 
small  family.  This  stunt  might  be  used  ad  lib  as 
occasion  offered. 

Ch.  Cato  Jr.  is  slowly  recovering  from  his  injuries 
and  Dr.  Steers  is  sanguine  of  bringing  him  out  in 
good  shape,  under  the  circumstances. 

Cato  has  shown  his  worth  as  a  producing  sire, 
English  Setters  fanciers  will  be  pleased  to  learn  that 
there  is  a  strong  probability  of  the  dog  being  saved 
for  stud  benefits. 

Angling  Club  Meeting. 

The  California  Anglers'  Club  recently  organized 
will  hold  a  meeting  on  Monday  evening  in  Grant  Hall, 
Pioneer  Building,  on  Fourth  street  near  Market,  for 
the  purpose  of  permanent  organization. 

Indications  are  that  the  charter  roll  will  be  closed 
with  the  signatures  of  200  members. 

The  committee  on  club  rooms  will  endeavor  to  se- 
cure conveniently  located  headquarters  on  Market 
street.  The  club"  rooms  will  be  handsomely  Sited  up 
and  no  doubt  will  prove  to  be  a  favorite  rendezvous 
for  many  anglers. 

Among  the  membership  of  the  new  club  are  to  be 
found  devotees  of  rod  and  line  who  seek  sport  in  both 
sweet  and  saline  waters  and  whose  selection  of  resort 
is  not  confined  in  locality.  Now  that  the  salt  water 
possibilities  of  our  bay  and  Coast  waters  are  becoming 
better  known  and  appreciated  there  is  a  field  for  ap- 
plication and  development  that,  considering  past  re- 
sults, will  no  doubt  be  exploited  with  benefit  to  the 
club  and  the  Individual  angler. 

The  possibilities  for  the  "good  of  all  concerned" 
that  may  be  developed  and  fostered  by  the  new  club 
can  be  readily  understood  when  the  work  accom- 
plished by  the  New  York  League  of  Salt  Water 
Anglers  is  "taken  into  consideration. 

This  organization  started  off  on  somewhat  similar 
lines  and  club  membership  that  the  California 
Anglers'  Club  has.  There  is  now  afilliated  with  the 
Eastern  association  some  150,000  anglers.  Of  course, 
the  vast  majority  of  this  grand  body  of  anglers  are 
wedded  to  salt  water  recreation.  This  choice,  how- 
ever, is  more  a  matter  of  environment. 

A    a  strong  factor  ih  controlling  fish  law  violators, 

the  proper  observance  of  the  New  York  fish  laws,  in 

-;:ngthe  rapacity  of  the  market  fishing  cor- 

•-5  and  also  in  obtaining  legislative  action  for 


fish  protection  and  to  restrain  infringement  of  anglers' 
rights  the  New  York  organization  has  been  mighty 
and  potent.  Its  nucleus  was  not  a  tithe  as  strong  as 
the  California  Anglers'  Club,  but  is  has  had  a  healthy 
and  increasing  growth  from  the  start  and  now  stands 
as  the  respected  champion  and  guardian  of  Eastern 
anglers'  interests. 

What  career  may  be  in  store  for  the  newly  organ- 
ized club  is  not  a  problem;  but  a  certainty,  for  it  has 
been  organized  on  the  right  lines  and  has  good  mate- 
rial in  its  membership.  So,  to  the  new  club  we  will 
sav — Success,  go  thou  and  do  likewise. 


Medicine  in  Camp. 

A  few  weeks  since  some  one  of  your  readers  asked  for 
an  article  upon  how  to  fill  a  medical  case  that  had  been 
presented  to  him,  and  I  have  waited  for  some  of  my 
professional  brethern  to  comply.  In  the  last  issue  a 
gentleman  made  some  good  suggestions  relative  to 
the  practice  of  medicine  in  the  woods — suggestions 
that  may  be  followed  with  a  great  deal  of  profit  by 
the  average  woods  loafer.  With  the  kind  permission 
of  the  editor.  I  will  attempt  to  amplify  his  sketch 
somewhat,  in  the  hope  that  what  I  shall  say  may  be 
of  value  to  my  hunting  and  fishing  colleagues  writes 
Dr.  Chas.  S.  Moody  in  Forest  and  Stream. 

By  far  the  greater  number  of  causes  for  the  hunter 
to  resort  to  the  healing  art  will  be  in  the  various 
accidents  that  may  befall  one.  Here  the  old  saying 
that  "cleanliness  is  next  to  godliness"  should  apply 
with  all  the  force  possible.  If  a  wound  of  any  charac- 
ter is  kept  absolutely  clean,  there  is  very  littledanger 
of  it  giving  much  trouble.  Dirt  is  the  surgeon's 
abomination.  Follow  out  the  first  aid  suggestions  of 
the  U.  S.  Army  and  do  little  else.  The  first  bottle  in 
the  case  should  be  filled  with  antiseptic  tablets,  known 
among  physicians  as  Bernay's  Tablets.  Tney  are 
made  in  wnite  ano  blue,  as  there  is  less  danger  in  con- 
fusing them  with  other  tablets  that  you  may  carry  in 
the  case.  One  of  thsse  dissolved  in  a  quart  of  "hot 
water  makes  the  ideal  antiseptic  solution  for  all  cuts 
and  wounds;  and  aside  from  washing  thoroughly  and 
binding  up  in  a  pad  of  absorbent  cotton  saturated  in 
the  solution,  little  else  need  be  done  to  any  incised, 
punctured  or  contused  wound.  Carry  a  halfpound  of 
pure  surgeon's  cotton,  three  or  more  two-incb  rolled 
baadages,  and  one  yard  of  sterilized  corrosive  gauze 
in  a  buttle.  These  will  make  you  a  full  supply  of 
surgical  necessities  Be  careful  to  not  do  too  much. 
Meddlesome  interference  will  work  harm.  Resort 
only  to  simple  measures  in  all  cases  of  surgical  nature. 

Your  correspondent  of  last  week  suggested  cocaine. 
Well,  cocaine  is  a  good  thing  in  the  hands  of  a  surgeon, 
and  a  very  bad  one  in  the  hands  of  a  layman.  Still, 
there  is  nothing  that  will  allay  pain  like  it,  and  if  you 
see  fit  to  fill  the  second  bottle  with  that  drug,  let'me 
advise  you  to  get  it,  not  in  the  cry=tals,  but  in  tablet 
fcrm.  One  tablet  wiilr  when  dissolved  in  tbe  hypo- 
dermic, makes  a  4  per  cent  solution  which  is  strong 
enough  to  render  anaesthetic  any  superficial  part  of 
the  body  for  a  time  long  enough  to  perform  any 
simple  surgical  opera tion— such  as  extractingsplinters 
or  fish-hooks.  Let  me  caution  you  to  be  very  careful 
in  its  use,  however,  as  certain  persons  are  very  sus- 
ceptible to  its  action. 

Morphine  sulphate,  4  grain  in  tablets,  is  a  very 
valuable  adjunct  to  the  case.  The  indications  for  use 
are  commonly  known — pain  being  the  most  important. 
I  do  not  approve  of  the  use  of  the  hypodermic  by  lay- 
men, and  would  suggest  that  you  use  all  remedies  by 
the  mouth  whenever  possible.  One  tablet  of  morDhine 
by  the  mouth  every  two  hours  will  allay  pain  fully  as 
well  as  by  hypodermic,  and  with  far  less  risk  to  you. 

In  all  congestive  conditions  such  as  colds,  fevers, 
etc.,  you  will  find  that  three-grain  doses  of  quinine 
will  be  invaluable.  Therefore,  carry  some  capsules  of 
that  drug  in  the  next  bottle  I  will  say  this  to  you, 
unless  you  use  at  least  eighteen  grains — that  is",  six 
three-grain  doses  in  the  course  of  one  nigh. — the 
quinine  will  do  you  no  good  in  colds. 

The  other  gentleman  spoke  of  Sun  cholera  tablets. 
I  have  found  a  preparation  called  "Chloranodyne, " 
as  prepared  by  Parke,  Davis  i  Co.,  far  superior  for 
conditions  of  that  character  to  anything  that  I  have 
ever  had  occasion  to  use.  Given  In  fifteen-drop  doses, 
it  will  relieve  any  choleric  condition  that  it  has  ever 
been  my  misfortune  to  meet.  I  use  it  on  my  owe  per- 
son; and  you  know  when  a  doctor  uses  a  thing  him- 
self that  it  must  be  all  right. 

You  will  do  well  to  take  some  calomel  tablets,  say 
i-grain.  or  else  some  C.  C.  pills,  which  amounts  to  the 
same  thing  In  the  beginning  of  fever,  colds, etc.,  and 
in  fact  all  places  where  the  system  needs  a  good  over- 
hauling, there  is  nothing  equal  to  a  grain  of  calomel, 
given  in  broken  doses. 

As  a  fever  eradicator,  there  is  nothing  that  will 
take  the  place  of  phenacetine,  given  in  five-grain 
tablets  every  three  hours.  The  action  is  to  produce 
profuse  sweating,  and  persons  with  a  weak  heart  will 
do  well  to  be  cautious. 

Certain  persons  are  very  apt  to  to  find  out  when 
they  approach  the  higher  altitudes  that  they  are 
possessed  of  a  heart — something  that  never  occurred 
to  them  before.  A  few  granules  of  digitalin  will  re- 
lieve the  feeling  of  suffocation,  and  may  be  the  means 
of  saving  a  life.  Therefore  it  may  be  well  to  carry 
one  bottle  with  digitalin.  It  is  a  thing  that  you  will 
not  need,  unless  there  is  some  heart  disease  lurking 
about  in  your  system. 

Coughs  and  colds  are  a  very  common  ailment,  especi- 
ally during  the  fall  and  winter  seasons.  One  of  your 
case  bottles  supplied  with  a  combination  tablet  com- 
posed of  senega,  ammon,  bromide,  tinct.  squill,  tr. 
aconite,  ex.  grindelia,  ex.  guiac,  an  J  supplied  to  the 
drug  trade  under  the  title  Senega  Compound,  will  be 
?  valuable  thing  in  the  winter  coughs. 
v,  let  a  stick  of  silver  nitrate  be  wrapped  in 
blue  paper  and  placed  in  one  of  the  case  bottles.  This 
is  the  caustic  par  excellence,  and  may  b6  applied   to 


poisoned  wounds  or  bites,  stings,  etc.  Cauterize  deep, 
and  then  stop  the  action  of  the  drug  with  common 
salt. 

You  will  notice  that  I  have  said  nothing  about 
snake  bite  remedies.  The  reason  is  this:  There  is  not 
one  case  in  ten  thousand  where  the  common  rattle- 
snake kills  a  man.  I  have  lived  in  a  snake  country  all 
my  life,  and  have  never  known  a  full-grown  man  to' 
die  from  the  bite  of  a  rattlesnake.  Children  ana  weak 
persons  do  die,  but  not  full-grown  healthy  men.  At 
the  same  time  it  is  not  pleasant  to  run  the"risk  and  I 
will  tell  you  what  to  do.  In  the  first  place,  there  is 
no  medicine  that  has  a  bit  of  influence  upon  any  snake 
bite  The  remedy  for  the  virus  of  snakes  is  asyet  un- 
discovered, consequently  it  would  be  folly  for  you  to 
carry  a  lot  of  drugs  under  the  assumption  that  ycu 
could  cure  yourself  if  bitten.  The  remedy  par  ex- 
cellence is  to  remove  the  poison,  and  no  other  is  of 
any  avail.  Wasb  the  wound  clean,  and  make  an  in- 
cision across  it  down  deeper  than  the  fangs  of  the 
serpent  penetrated,  then  suck  the  virus  out,  washing 
your  mouth  out  with  warm  water.  Do  this  several 
times.  Before  all,  though,  when  you  are  first  bitten, 
tie  a  handerchief  around  the  limb  above  the  wound 
and  twist  a  stick  intoit,  making  an  improvised  tourni- 
quet. In  half  hour  loosen  the  bandage  for  a  short 
time  and  allow  a  little  of  the  poison  to  flow  into  the 
circulation.  In  this  manner  you  may  instil  the  poison 
gradually,  and  the  system  will  take  "care  of  it. 

After  having  sucked  the  wound  out  fully,  you  may 
cauterize  it  well  with  the  caustic.  Then,  above  all 
things,  do  not  get  rattled.  Keep  cool  and  you  aie  in 
very  little  danger.  I  have  no  knowledge  of  the  bites 
of  the  Southern  snakes  such  as  copperheads,  mocca- 
sins, and  cotton-mouths,  but  see  no  reason  why  they 
should  be  any  worse  than  rattlesnakes.  The  sooner 
people  lose  their  fear  of  snakes,  the  simpler  the 
problem  of  treating  their  bites  will  be 

Appendicitis  was  mentioned  by  someone.  When  a 
doctor  does  not  know  what  to  do  in  these  cases,  there 
is  little  probability  of  your  being  able  to  do  very 
much.  Appendicitis  is  a"  matter  for  the  surgeon.  If 
you  should  have  an  attack  of  the  disease  in  the  woods, 
simply  do  nothing  and  you  will  be  doing  the  wise 
thing.  Tbe  average  case  of  appendicitis  will  right 
itself  as  far  as  can  be,  under  absolutely  no  treatment 
whatever,  and  every  attempt  at  treating  it  only  ren- 
ders the  matter  more  complicated.  In  my  ownwork 
here  in  the  city,  I  do  not  give  one  dose  of  medicine. 
I  shoot  them  into  the  hospital  as  soon  as  possible  and 
proceed  to  remove  the  offending  organ.  I  should 
hardly  advise  your  attempting  it,  however,  while  out 
in  the  hills. 

The  natural  tendency  of  persons  ill  with  ordinary 
complaints  is  to  recover;  therefore  let  your  treatment 
be  of  the  simplest. 

In  some  future  article,  with  the  kind  permission  of 
the  editor,  I  may  try  to  set  down  some  simple  rules 
for  surgical  cases  that  will  meet  the  ordinary  require- 
ments. 

Trap  Shooters  of   1905. 

The  records  made  by  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker 
gun  at  the  traps  last  season  was  a  continuance  of  an 
unbroken  series  of  high-class  work  with  one  of  the 
best  American  guns  in  use  for  over  a  quarter  of  a  cen- 
tury. Parker  Bros,  have  issued  a  catalogue  this  year 
that  every  devotee  of  the  shotgun  should  have.  A 
request  addressed  to  Parker  Bros.,  30  Cherry  street, 
Meriden,  Conn.,  will  receive  prompt  mail  response. 

Single  Trigger  Guns. 

The  Hunter  single  trigger  gun  is  a  model  of  the  L. 
C.  Smith  guns  already  very  much  in  demand.  From 
general  returns  the  gun  is  a  go  with  shooters.  Re- 
ports from  Coast  shooters  who  have  used  tbis  single 
trigger  gun  are  so  favorable  that  a  number  of  orders 
from  prominent  Pacific  Coast  experts  have  already 
been  received.  As  the  cracks  do,  so  do  observing 
shooters  who  want  the  best.  As  a  trap  gun,  for  live 
birds  and  target  shooting,  those  who  have  used  the 
single  trigger  are  liberal  in  praise  of  it.  This  single 
trigger  is  the  successful  result  of  several  yoars' all- 
round  tests  and  has  been  found  to  be  perfect.  An 
attractive  catalogue,  fully  illustrated,  may  be  ob- 
tained by  mentioning  this  notice  and  addressing  the

THE   FARM 


Breeding  Animals. 


A  feature  in  breeding  live  Etock  is  the 
temptation  which  constantly  menaces  the 
breeder  to  sell  bis  best  animals.  The 
tend  of  public  demand  is  for  the  best,  and 
as  animals  os  extra  quality  will  command 
nearly  doubleone  of  inferior  grade  the 
breeder  is  continnally  tempted  to  sell  the 
tops  of  his  flocks  and  herds.  This  is 
particularly  the  case  in  breeding  hordes. 
The  buyer  when  be  visits  the  farm  is  at- 
tracted by  the  better  animal  and  bids  an 
attractive  price  for  it,  while  the  stock  of 
common  quality  is  neglected.  Perhaps 
with  the  breeder  he  is  compelled  to  lose 
the  opportunity  of  sale  or  else  part  with 
the  best  horse  on  the  farm.  . 

In  the  improvement  of  all  classes  cf 
livestock  only  the  best  animals  should  te 
retained  for  breeding  purposes.  TVhile  a 
good  sire  will  impart  extra  quality  to  his 
progeny,  it  is  conceded  that  the  dam  has 
much  to  do  in  governing  the  quality  of 
the  foal.  It  is  an  unwise  policy  to  place 
all  the  burden  of  improvement  on  the 
sire  and  condemn  tvie  stallion  if  the  foals 
out  of  ordinary  mares  are  not  of  superior 
quality.  In  the  era  of  low  prices  farmers 
made  the  mistake  of  Eelling  their  best 
mares  for  commercial  use  or  export,  and 
find  themselves  handicapped  now  when 
values  have  reacted  to  the  highest  level 
in  the  history  of  the  industry.  Consumers 
want  the  best  horses  that  methodical 
breeding  can  produce,  and  farmers  to 
supply  this  demand  must  retain  their 
best  mares  for  breeding  purposes  It  is 
bad  economy  to  sell  their  best  mare  on 
the  farm,  even  at  a  strong  price,  for  if 
stinted  to  a  good  sire  she  will  reproduce 
herself  in  her  progeny,  and  in  a  few  years 
the  farmer  will  have  several  good  horseE 
for  sale,  as  against  none  if  he  retains  in* 
ferior  animals  for  breeding  purposes. 

The  farmer  should  grade  his  horses  and 
sell  only  his  inferior  mares  until  he  be- 
comes fully  stocked,  when  the  progeny 
from  his  best  mares  will  all  be  of  excellent 
quality  The  farmer  should  he  master  of 
the  situation  and  sell  only  such  animals 
as  are  not  necessary  for  the  maintenance 
of  his  herd  to  the  highest  standard  of  ex- 
cellence. The  situation  of  the  horse  in- 
dustry is  in  the  control  of  farmers,  and  if 
intelligently  managed  will  pay  larger 
profits  than  any  other  branch  of  livestock 
husbandry.— Goodall's  Fai  mer. 


impure  by  the  accumulated  dropping?1 
can  not  be  nourished  and  strengthened 
as  those  grown  and  fattened  in  pure  air 
and  on  sound  grain. 

In  order  to  get  the  greater  number  of 
eggs,  the  hens  must  be  in  a  healthy 
|  growing  condition,  neither  fat  nor  poor 
'Either  extreme  will  retard  the  formation 
i  of  eggs. 

Whatever  point  be  desired  in  a  stcck 
j  fowl,  it  is  to  be  considered  that  there  is 
some  one  at  least  of  the  several  varieties 
1  in  which  that  point  has  been  particularly 
developed  to  afar  greater  degree  than  can 
be  found  in  any  ordinary  barnyard  fowl. 
i  There  is  some  one  fowl  in  which  that 
!  qnality  is  the  leading  characteristic,  and 
I  which  is  therefore  the  best  for  the  pur- 
j  pose  desired. 

Charred  bone,  as  well  as  charred  corn, 
is  good  for  poultry,  for  the  Eake  of  the 
I  charcoal,  which  is  very  healthy  for  them, 
purifying  the  blood  and  aiding  the  diges- 
,  tion.  But  this  charred  stuff  does  not 
possess  the  food  value  of  the  raw  bones, 
on  account  of  the  animal  oils  contained 
in  the  latter,  which  are  consumed  in  the 
charring  process,  fresh  bones,  when 
ground,  are  the  most  valuable,  being  full 
of  animal  matte.-. 

The  selection  of  a  variety  is  not  to  be 
governed  by  any  rale.    It  is  a  matter  for 
the  judgment  of  each  individual:  but  in 
the  exercise  of  such  judgment  the   in- 
]  dividual  should  have  eertain  things  defi- 
[  nitely  in  view.  In  other  words,  he  should 
know  what  results  he  wisnes  to  secure, 
I  for  there  are  breeds  and  varieties  answer- 
ing every    purpose.     If  he  wishes    eggs 
j  mainly  then  be  should  select  some  of  the 
I  breeds  famous   for     their    egg-producing 
'  qualities ;  if  for  meat  or  market  then  one 
I  of   the  larger  breeds,   according  to    the 
s  quality  of  meat  wanted  and  the  demands 
j  of  the  market  intended  to  be  supplied;  if 
|  for  general  purposes,   there  are    breeds 
,  combining  the  characteristics  of  all ;  and 
j  if  for  oddity  or  beauty,  there  are  those 
•  which  please  the  eye  in  these  respects. 
So  as   between   varieties  answering    the 
j  same  purpose,  the  selection  should-  be 
'  largely  a  matter  of  taste.

Good  mutton  comes  from  the  sheep  in 
a  healthy,  growing  condition.

Watering  stock  regularly  is  good,  but 
it  is  better  to  have  water  in  such  condi- 
tion as  to  have  it  easy  of  access  for  them 
at  all  times.  ThU  may  be  also  said  of 
salting.  The  salt  should  be  within  easy 
reach  of  all  the  stock  all  the  time. 


Hogs  seem  to  be  extremely  fend  of  char-

Largest  Ranch  in  the  World. 

The  State  of  Chihuahua,  Mexico,  con- 
tains the  largest  farm  in  the  world.  Its 
greatest  length  is  200  miles  and  width  150 
miles,  containing  15,000,000  acres  of  land. 
It  supports  1,000,000  cattle,  750,000  sheep 
and  100,000  horses.  Its  owner  is  Don 
Luis  Ferrazas,  the  richest  man  in  Mexico. 

The  residence  of  the  owner  cost  $2,000,- 
000  Mexican  money— $8.86,300  United 
States  coin— and  is  one  of  the  finest  fin- 
iBhed  and  furnished  mansions  in  the  Re- 
public.  The  marble  quarries  of  Italy  fur- 
nished large  quantities  of  the  finishing  ' 
material,  and  a  hundred  of  the  most : 
ekilled  artisans  of  Europe  labored  to  pro- 
duce the  most  artistic  effects. 

To  operate  this  vast  estate  over  1000 
men  are  needed— gardeners,  farmers,  cow 
punchers,  horse  wranglers,  sheep  herd- 
ers, etc. 

A  packing  plant  which  useB  100,000  head 
of  cattle  and  500.000  sheep  yearly  is  part 
of  the  equipment  of  this  ranch,  and  is  the 
only  packing  house  in  Mexico.  It  handles 
nothing  but  stock  grown  on  the  ranch, 
and  is  modeled  after  the  big  packing 
houses  of  the  United  States. 

The  grade  of  Btock  kept  on  this  ranch  is 
not  that  ordinarily  found  in  Mexico. 

Over  2000  pure-bred  beef  bullB  have 
been  imported  from  England  and  the 
United  States.  Inequality  of  horses  and 
Bheep  have  been  improved  also,  until  the 
beBt  stock  in  Mexico  ia  now  found  on  the 
Ferrazas  ranch. 

Nearly  $SOO,000  have  been  expended  in 
reservoirs,  wells  and  pumping  apparatus 
for  furnishing  water  for  the  vast  herds 
and  flocks  of  the  estate;  for  months  of 
extreme  drouth  frequently  come  in  that 
country  and  all  living  springs  are  dried 
up  on  the  plains.  Water  is  pumped  by 
Bteam,  oil  and  wind  engines. 

The  experimental  work  of  the  United 
States  iB  watched  closely,  and  the  crops 
found  suited  to  dry  conditions  are  grown 
on  the  Ferrazas  ranch,  with  the  idea  of 


providing  food  enough  to  carry  the  stock 
through  periods  of  extreme  drouth. 

Prairie  fires  are  one  of  the  greatest  hin- 
drances to  successful  ranching  in  Mexico. 
Daring  the  dry  seaso  i  millions  of  acreB  of 
grass  are  burned  up,  depriving  herds  of 
their  food  and  cremating  thousands  of 
animals. 

On  this  ranch  fire  stations  have  been 
established  at  various  parts  of  the  range, 
and  watchmen  are  on  the  lookout  for  fires 
at  all  times. 

The  principal  method  of  fighting  these 
fires  is  by  dragging  heavy  log  chains 
through  the  blaze  and  by  plowing  furrows 
parallel  to  and  in  front  of  the  fires.  It 
sometimes  requires  several  days  to  sub- 
due a  prairie  fire,  and  often  hundreds  of 
thousands  acres  are  burned  over  and 
much  stock  lost.— Stockqrowers'  Journal.

Ideal  Lambing  Season. 

The  sheep  men  are  jubilant  over  the 
results  of  the  lambing  Beason,  which  is 
now  drawing  to  a  close  with  a  higher  per- 
centage of  lambs  than  was  ever  before 
known  Bince  the  industry  started.  John 
Mulqueeney,  who  is  the  pioneer  in  this 
line  in  this  section,  stated  to  a  Herald 
representative  one  day  last  week  that  he 
had  never  seen  as  good  a  Beason  in  the 
thirty-five  years  he  has  been  engaged  in 
sheep-raising  in  this  section.  Not  only 
has  the  weather  been  mild  but  the  feed  is 
well  advanced  and  possesses  unusual 
strength  for  the  season  so  that  the  ewes 
are  strong  and  the  lambs  are  consequently 
well  nourished. 

Patrick  Connolly  came  down  from  hiB 
Corral  Hollow  sheep  range  Sunday  and 
stated  that  of  the  number  of  lambs 
marked  he  averaged  better  than  120  per 
cent,  which  means  that  there  are  120 
lambs  for  every  100  ewes.  This  is  re- 
garded as  a  phenomenal  record,  the  only 
season  which  approached  it  in  results  was 
in  i886.  He  reports  that  his  neighbors 
are  all  doing  equally  well.  —  Livermore

Sheep  on  Every  Farm. 

There  are  few  farms  that  are  not 
adapted  to  sheep.  A  few  sheep  should 
be  kept  on  every  farm,  and  a  great  many 
Bheep  should  be  kept  on  some  farms. 

Farming  is  changing  rapidlv.       Good 
farmers  are  manufacturers  and  they  are 
getting    down    closer    to    manufacturing 
details  yearly.      Instead    of   selling  raw 
material  the  best  farmers  in  the  country 
sell  very  little  except  highly   fancy  pro 
ducts,  and  the  list  of  these   products  are 
multiplying  rapidly       In  the   matter  of 
live  Btock  sheep  when  kept  in  small  num- 
bers and  careful  management  return  per- 
haps the  largest  dividends   of   any  stock 
kept  on  the  farm,  but  in  all  mixed   farm- 
ing the  business  of  sheep  raising  cannrt 
be  carried  on   as    extensively    as  other 
branches  of  live  stock.    The  percentage 
of  profit,  therefore,  may  be  greater   than 
that  in  other  stoiK,  but  at  the  same   time 
it  will  not  pay,  on  Eastern  farms   at   any 
rate,  to  make  a  specialty  of  sheep  to  the 
exclusion  of  other  things.      On   the  aver- 
age American  farm  probably  sheep  should 
be  considered  more  as  a  side  issue  than  a 
main  farm  problem.    As  a  side  issue  they 
may  be  neglected  to  a  certain  extent  and 
Btill  prove  profitable,  but  if  made    the 
main  issue  the  owner  must  be   prepared 
to  live  with  them  almost  night  and  day 
to  get  satisfactory  returns. 

In  sheep  raising  the  labor  problem  re- 
solves itself  into  a  very  simple  matter 
when  sheep  are  raised  as  an  accessory  to 
other  farm  work.  No  line  of  farming  can 
do  without  labor,  but  sheep  raising  prob- 
ably requires  less  in  proportion  than  any- 
thing else  that  returns  a  reasonable  profit. 
Taking  the  past  five  years  the  average 
price  of  sheep  has  ruled  about  a  cent  a 
pound  higher  than  cattle  and  during  the 
whole  history  of  sheep  raising  in  the 
United  States  the  business  has  been  ex- 
ceptionally profitable.  At  present  prices 
probably  it  is  not  advisable  to  buy  exten- 


sively because  sheep  have  now  apparently 
reached  the  top  notch.  As  in  other  busi- 
ness the  pendulum  swings  back  and  forth, 
ii  tarries  but  a  short  time  at  either  end  of 
the  trip.  A  man  who  keeps  sheep  for  ten 
veavs  is  very  Bure  to  get  his  share  of  the 
higher  prices.

former and  three  that  could  beat  2-15.  Last  season  there  were  seven  two-year-olds  by  him  that 
trotted  quarters  from  40  to  34  seconds.  One  of  them.  El  Rey.  was  separately  timed  in  the  Breeders 
Futurity  in  2:25,  last  half  1:09,  and  we  confidently  expect  him  to  trot  in  2:15  this  season  in  his  three- 
year-old  form.  We  cordially  invite  all  breeders  to  inspect  the  colts  before  booking  their  mares. 
They  have  been  Inspected  by  a  number  of  good  judges  and  said  by  them  to  be  individually  the  best 
lot  of  colts  they  had  ever  seen  together  by  one  sire

CAMPBELL'S 


FOOT  REMEDY    best"  rFmedy 

EVER  USED  ON  HORSES'  PEET. 

IT  PENETRATES  and  DRIES  IN  Quickly  and  DOES 
NOT  GUM  and  PILL  DP  THE  PORES  like  tar  and  oil 
compounds.  It  is  the  GREATEST  REMEDY  ever  used  to 
remove  SORENESS  and  PEVER  from  the  foot,  and  makes  it 
possible  to  get  good  services  out  of  a  horse  working  on  hard 
and  hot  pavements. 

It  gives  natural  nourishment  to  the  foot  and  inoites  a 
rapid,  healthy  growth— ALL  DRYNESS  AND  BRITTLE- 
NESS  quickly  disappears. 

QUARTER  CRACKS  and  SAND  CRACKS  are  rapidly 
grown  out  when  directions  given  in  our  booklet  are  followed. 

It  is  a  SURE  CURE  for  CORNS,  CONTRACTED  FEET 
and  NAIL  WOUNDS  if  directions  are  followed. 

It  PRESENTS  SOUND  PEET  PROM  BECOMING  UN- 
SOUND and  GROWS  a  TOUGH.  STRONG.  ELASTIC  WALL 
and  HEALTHY  PROG— A  FOOT  WHICH  WILL  STAND 
WORK  on  race  courses. 

Many  of  the  besfowners  and  trainers  state  that  for  track 
work  nothing  equals  it.  In  many  oases  horses  have  reduced 
their  records  several  seconds,  due  to  its  use. 

It  is  a  CER'J  AIN  CURE  for  THRUSH  and  SCRATCHES 
We  Guarantee  That  It  Will  Do  What  We  Claim 
and  Will  Refund  Money  If  It  Palls. 

PRICES:— Quarts,  $100;    Half-Gallon,  $1.75;    Gallon,    $3  00. 
;2tf-Gallon,  $5.50;  Five-Gallon,  $10.00. 

Books  giving  full  directions  for  its  use  and  much  valuable  information  as  to  shoeing  are  supplied 
tree. 

Don't  fail  to  read  "ad."  giving  information  concerning  Campbell's  Iodoform  Gall  Cure  in  next 
issue  of  this  paper.    It  is  the  best  and  because  of  its  merits  is  rapidly  displacing  all  others.

STALLIONS     ADVERTISED. 


NO  HORSE  RACING  is  to  be  permitted  at  the 
California  State  Fair  hereafter  if  the  Assembly 
Committee  on  Ways  and  Means  is  to  have  its  way. 
According  to  a  dispatch  which  was  sent  out  from 
Sacramento  last  night  the  committee  mentioned  has 
decided  to  recommend  the  passage  of  the  bill  appro- 
priating $180,000  to  be  expended  on  the  new  fair 
grounds  at  Sacramento,  "provided  there  shall  be  no 
more  horse  racing  held  in  connection  with  the  fair." 
It  is  hoped  that  when  the  bill  comes  up  for  passage 
that  the  Assembly  will  have  more  sense  than  the  com- 
mittee and  strike  out  of  the  bill  such  an  absurd  and 
foolish  proviso.  Speed  contests  between  horses,  or 
"horse  racing, "  if  one  chooses  to  call  them  by  that 
name,  at  district  and  State  fairs  have  always  been  and 
always  will  be  one  of  the  chief  enjoyments  of  the 
American  people.  The  very  best  citizens  of  thi9  re- 
public have  owned  and  raced  horses,  from  Wash- 
ington, the  father  of  his  country,  down  to  many 
of  the  best  and  purest  statesmen  of  the  present 
day.  There  is  no  more  evil  in  a  properly 
conducted  speed  contest  between  horses  than  in 
a  milk  or  butter  contest  between  cows,  or  a 
prize  contest  between  manufacturers  of  threshing 
machines.  The  breeding  and  sale  of  horses  is  on6  of 
this  State's  greatest  industries.  It  was  thought  of 
enough  importance  for  a  man  of  the  late  Senator 
Stanford's  intelligence  and  ability  to  expend  many 
thousands  of  dollars  upon,  and  he  raced  the  products 
of  his  farm  at  the  district  and  State  fairs  with  bene- 
fit to  the  breeding  industry  of  the  whole  State  and  to 
the  harmless  edification  of  the  people.  There  are  two 
kinds  of  horse-racing,  one  for  gambling  purposes 
only,  the  other  to  improve  the  breeds  of  borses.  The 
The  trouble  with  many  of  our  legislators  is  that  they 
do  not  seem  to  be  able  to  understand  the  difference 
between  the  two  systems  and  class  all  racing  with  the 
sort  that  caused  the  extension  of  the  California  State 
Fair  to  two  weeks  to  enable  it  to  thrive.    Every  State 


in  the  Union  that  amounts  to  anything  permits  racing 
at  State  and  county  fairs.  The  California  legisla- 
ture will  be  doing  a  foolish  thing  as  well  as  injuring  a 
leading  industry  if  it  follows  the  dictation  of  the 
Assembly  committee  above  referred  to.

tion will  be  held  next  Tuesday,  at  which  time  the 
Speed  Committee  will  present  a  program  of  guaran-

payment  of  $10  is  due  on  all  entries  in  that  stake.  If 
you  want  to  get  in  the  stake  there  is  a  chance  up  to 
that  time,  or  if  your  foal  is  dead  there  is  an  oppor- 
tunity to  transfer.  But  don't  put  either  off  until 
after  next  Wednesday  as  it  will  be  too  late.

San  Bernardino  Matinee  Races. 


San  Bernardino,  Feb.  22— The  San  Bernardino 
Driving  Club  had  its  initial  meet  at  Association  Park 
here  this  afternoon.  A  conservative  estimate  places 
the  number  of  spectators  at  4000.  Never  before  in 
this  county  has  so  great  a  number  of  people  witnessed 
such  a  series  of  events.  This  city,  Redlands,  River- 
side and  other  communities  taxed  the  transportation 
facilities  to  the  utmost.  Every  event  was  a  success 
and  not  a  detracting  feature  marred  the  day. 

The  club,  which  was  organized  recently  to  promote 
an  interest  in  good  horses,  allows  no  professionalism 
and  no  betting,  and  all  meets  are  free  to  the  public, 
the  only  restriction  being  that  club  members  alone 
can  participate  in  the  races.  There  was  a  long  list  of 
entries,  the  prize  winners  and  prizes  beirg  as  follows: 

Free-for-all  mixed  race,  prize  silver  cup,  presented 
bv  Messrs.  Dunn  &  Black;  winner  Nordica,  owner  G. 
W.  Prescott.     Time,  2:21. 

2:40  class  pace,  prize  a  silver  cup,  presented  by  John 
A.  Cole;  winner  Nina  Bonita,  owner  William  Rourke. 
Time,  2:35. 

2:35  class  trot,  prize  a  silver  cup,  presented  by  E.  D. 
Roberts;  winner  Inaugureta,  owner  Dr.  I.  W.  Haz- 
eltine.    Time,  2:27J. 

Novelty  one  mile  dash,  prize,  oak  and  silver  pitcher, 
presented  by  Col.  F.  Dunham;  winner  Cornelius  D., 
owner-John  A.  Cole.     Time,  2:38£. 

Three-minute  class,  mixed,  prize,  a  stop-watch, 
presented  by  Ben  Davis,  winner  Joy,  owner  L.  E. 
Kielhaber,    Time,  2:46J. 

Novelty  race,  won  by  Lady  Joy,  owner  Fred  C. 
Drew. 

The  officers  were:  Judges,  E.  R.  Smith,  Col.  Dun- 
ham and  F.  W.  Dunn;  timekeepers,  J.  H.  Kelly,  L.  E.

pacing  family  is  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16J.  He  pro- 
duces speed  himself,  and  his  Bons  and  daughters  pro- 
duce speed.  He  i9  the  sire  of  John  A.  McKerron  2:041, 
the  second  fastest  trotting  stallion  and  the  fastest  of 
the  Wilkes  tribe.  His  sons  Nearest  and  Stanton 
Wilkes,  the  only  two  that  have  been  used  in  the  stud, 
are  both  sires  of  2:10  performers.  His  daughters— 
everyone  of  them  that  has  been  bred  and  the  colt 
trained — have  produced  speed.  It  makes  no  difference 
what  sort  of  mares  are  sent  to  Nutwood  Wilkes,  the 
colts  will  have  style  and  finish,  and  if  the  mare  has 
any  breeding  the  produce  will  have  speed.  For  an 
absolutely  6ure  profit  on  the  investment  get  a  colt  by 
Nutwood  Wilkes.    See  the  advertisement  for  terms.

Pleasanton  Celebrated    Washington's    Birthday. 

Pleasanton  people,  especially  the  horsemen  (and 
there  are  not  many  residents  of  the  town  who  are  not 
in  this  class)  are  patriotic.  They  observed  the  birth- 
day of  the  Father  of  this  glorious  country  in  a  fitting 
manneron  Wednesday  last  and  at  least  a  thousand 
people  were  at  the  famous  old  track  to  witness  the 
races  that  had  been  gotten  up  for  their  amusement. 
The  grand  stand  was  packed  to  its  fullest  capacity 
and  as  the  day  was  delightfully  warm  the  ladies  (God 
bless  them)  were  of  course  attired  it  light  summer 
costumes,  that  not  only  charmed  many  Eastern  visi- 
tors who  were  present,  but  gave  them  an  idea  of  the 
advantages  of  California's  winter  climate. 

The  races  were  excellent.  Not  a  man  of  all  those 
that  sat  In  the  sulkies  but  was  trying  his  level  best  to 
win,  and  applause  from  thecrowd  was  bestowed  with- 
out partiality  upon  all  of  the  drivers,  whether  they 
won  or  lost. 

For  the  first  race  all  drivers  appeared  iu  regulation 
grand  circuit  colors  except  Mr.  Detels  who  wore  his 
Sunday  Fedora  and  was  fined  a  set  of  2-minute  harness 
for  this  indiscretion.  Lee  Wells  was  92  pounds  over- 
weight. After  much  jockeying  by  Locke,  the  driver 
of  Husky,  they  finally  got  away  to  a  perfect  start,  ex- 
cept Locke  who  was  sent  away  6  lengths  back,  but 
he  gradually  made  up  ground  and  finished  2nd  amid 
great  applause 

In  the  second  heat  Hattie  C.  early  assumed  com- 
mand going  to  the  i  in  1:121  and  won  the  heat  quite 
easily  in  2:29|. 

Owing  to  Mr.  Chadbourne  understanding  that  the 
race  was  made  2  in  3,  he  drew  Hattie  C.  after  the 
second  heat  and  the  final  heat  went  to  Husky  after  an 
exciting  drive  through  the  stretch. 

For  the  second  race  Charley  Powell  behind  Santa 
Rita  Boy  and  Wally  Olney  driving  Whoa  Bill  were 
the  only  starters.  Santa  Rita  Boy  stepped  on  a  water- 
melon seed  immediately  after  getting  the  word  but 
being  ably  handled  by  Mr.  Powell  easily  won  the 
heat  from  the  fast  tiring  Whoa  Bill.  The  second  heat 
of  this  race  created  a  great  deal  of  comment  as  it  waB 
quite  evident  that  there  was  some  understanding  be- 
tween the  drivers,  but  after  a  careful  revision  of  the 
case  by  the  judges  the  heat  was  finally  awarded  to 
WhoaBilland  the  drivers  cautioned.  SantaRitaBoy 
won  the  deciding  heat  by  an  eighth  of  a  mile  in  2:39. 

The  third  race  created  the  most  amusement  for  the 
crowd,  as  from  the  Jth  pole  to  the  wire  it  was 
generally  go  as  you  please. 

The  day  waB  brought  to  a  close  by  a  parade  of  fine 
horses  whose  equal  in  looks  and  value  has  been  rarely 
seen  on  any  California  race  track.  Among  those 
shown  were:  Consuela  S.  2:07f,  Edwin  S.  2:08,  Lecco 
2:09|,  John  Caldwell  2:11  J,  Izetta  2:13J,  Sonoma,  Nance 
O'Neil  2:09J,  Bonnie  Direct  2:05J,  Direetwell,  Flora  G. 
(trial  2:08£)  Bonnie  Steinway  (trial  2:123)  Major  Cook 
(trial  2:15J)  Bert  Arrandale  by  the  great  Sidney  Dil- 
lon, Dr.  Masoero's  promising  McKinney  filly,  Bri- 
quette, the  green  four-year-old  mare  by  Zombro  that 
had  shown  a  mile  in  2:13  this  year,  and  a  host  of  others 
that  your  correspondent  failed  to  get  the  names  of. 

Daring  the  afternoon  Vic  Verilhac  worked  his 
ohestunt  mare  Gertie  A.  by  Diablo  three  heats  in 
2:32,  2:30,  2:23  and  the  last  quarter  of  the  last  mile  in 
31  seconds.  The  manner  in  which  this  mare  finished 
up  her  last  mile  indicates  that  the  members  of  the 
green  class  will  have  to  step  some  to  beat  this  handy 
little  mare  this  year. 

The  officers  of  the  day  all  filled  their  positions  with 
dignity  and  ability  and  received  the  commendation  of 
all  present.  Judges:  Geo.  Ramage,  J.  M.  Alviso, 
James  Sutherland.  Timers:  H.  Cadenza  Dunlap, 
Athale  McBean.    Starter,  "Farmer"  Bunch.

Proposed  Match  Race. 


There  has  been  considerable  talk  of  a  match  raci 
for  a  big  stake  to  be  made  between  A.  Ottinger,  the 
well  known  ticket  broker  of  this  city,  and  Frank  E. 
Wright,  the  Sacramento  horseman,  for  a  race  be- 
tween Daedalion  2:10,  owned  by  the  former,  and  Kelly 
Bnggs  2:09J,  owned  by  the  latter.  The  proposed 
stake  is  $2500  a  side,  $500  forfeit,  the  race  to  come  ofl 
over  the  California  track  offering  the  largest  amount 
of  added  money.  It  is  said  that  Mr.  Wright  and  Mr, 
Ottinger  will  both  post  forfeit  within  a  few  days  and 
that  the  different  tracks  will  have  until  June  to  bid  od 
the  event.  A  stipulation  is  that  Col.  J.  C.  Kirk 
Patrick  and  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels  shall  act  as  two  of 
the  judges  for  the  race  and  shall  select  a  third  gentle- 
man to  act  with  them. 

Mr.  Wright's  horse  Kelly  Briggs  2:091  has  the 
reputation  of  being  a  good  race  horse  that  is  faster 
than  his  present  record  which  was  made  last  year  at 
the  Breeders  meeting  at  San  Jose  when  he  beat 
Zolock,  Dictatress,  Alone,  Fredericksburg,  I  Direct 
and  Daedalion,  taking  his  record  in  the  first  heat  of 
race.  Kelly  Briggs  was  bred  by  Jos.  Griffin,  of 
Winters,  Yolo  county,  and  is  by  Sam  Hoy's  stallion 
Bayswater  Wilkes  and  out  of  the  mare  Algenie  by 
Algona.  He  was  raced  for  several  years  by  Mr.  Hoy 
and  won  many  good  races,  getting  a  mark  of  2:10J-  be 
fore  Hoy  sold  him  to  Mr.  Wright,  who  drove  him  to 
his  present  record.  The  best  race  Kelly  Brigjs  ever 
paced  was  at  Woodland  in  1902,  when  he  was  second 
to  Miss  Logan  in  2:074,  2:06J  and  2:061,  only  being 
beaten  a  trifle  in  the  last  heat  wherein  that  wonder- 
fully fast  and  game  mare  made  her  record. 

Daedalion  is  also  an  aged  horse  and  has  been  seen 
on  the  California  Circuit  for  several  seasons.  He  was 
bred  by  Geo.  H.  Fox  of  Mokelumne  Stock  Farm  and 
is  by  Diablo  2:09J  out  of  the  mare  Grace  by  Buccaneerl 
that  also  produced  Creole  2:15,  Eagle 2:194  and  others.' 
At  the  closing  out  sale  of  the  Mokelumne  Farm,1 
Daedalion  was  purchased  by  Mr.  Ottinger,  who placed( 
him  in  the  hands  of  H.  Ward  of  San  Jose  to  race. 
Daedalion  started  in  three  races  last  year.  The  first 
was  in  the  race  won  by  Kelly  Briggs  at  San  Jose  in 
which  Daedalion  made  a  break  and  was  distanced  the 
first  heat.  He  had  never  been  worked  with  hopples 
and  took  his  mark  of  2:11  in  1901  without  them.  When 
it  came  to  the  Vallejo  races  last  year  it  was  concluded 
to  try  Daedalion  with  the  straps  and  a  new  pair  was 
purchased  for  the  occasion.  In  the  first  heat  the 
horse  made  a  break,  broke  the  hopples  and  was  again 
distanced.  At  the  Santa  Rosa  meeting  the  following 
week,  a  stronger  pair  were  tried  and  he  started  in  the 
2:10  class  against  Highball,  Kelly  Briggs  and  Cuckoo. 
Highball  took  the  first  heat  in  2:11  and  then  Daedalion 
came  on  to  the  surprise  of  everybody  except  Mr. 
Ward  and  won  the  next  three  in  2:10,  2:134  and  2:11. 
This  was  his  last  start  as  he  had  no  further  engage- 
ments. He  and  Kelly  Briggs  are  both  known  to  be 
game  race  horses  and  there  could  Dot  be  picked  in  the 
whole  State  two  pacers  that  are  more  evenly  matched 
or  that  will  draw  a  larger  crowd  to  see  them  race. 

The  event  is  worth  any  track  putting  in  a  good  bid 
for  and  we  hope  the  match  will  come  off  and  the  best 
horse  will  win. 

San  Bernardino  Horse  News. 


San  Bernardino,  Cal.,  Feb.  17,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman:— The  San 
Bernardino  County  Driving  Club  will  hold  its  initial 
meeting  at  the  Association  Park  on  the  22d  of  Feb- 
ruary. There  are  at  this  writing  about  forty  entries, 
their  speed  ranging  from  3:00  to  2:091. 

The  great  majority  of  these  entries  are  San  Bernar- 
dino county  bred,  being  sired  by  such  horses  as  Silk- 
wocd  2:07,  Zolock  2:09J,  Zombro  2:11,  McKinney  2:113, 
Hillsdale  2:14,  Adjutant  2:17,  Strathway  2:19,  Atlo 
Rex  2:21,  and  having  dams  by  such  noted  sires  as 
McfCioney  2:111,  Diablo  2:09,  Joe  Romero  2:19,  Momoe 
Chief  2:19,  Atto  Rex  2:21,  Nutwood  2:18,  Bob  Mason 
Jr.  2:23,  Albion  2:24,  Ioca  2:27,  Raymond  2:271,  Christ- 
mas, Maximilian,  Happy  Prince,  Booth  and  Thor- 
oughbred. 

The  young  things  from  Zolock  2:0'JJ  put  to  trainirg 
at  once  show  speed  at  either  the  trot  or  pace. 

The  firm  of  Prescott  &  BoDnell  has  about  twenty 
head  of  horses  in  handling,  many  of  which  are  prom- 
ising. Mr.  Bonnellcame  to  this  Coast  from  VincenneB, 
Indiana,  where  he  has  long  been  recognized  as  a 
trainer  aod  driver  of  merit.  The  improvement  in 
his  horses  from  week  to  week  bears  out  the  high  esti- 
mate placed  upon  his  ability  by  his  Eastern  contem- 
poraries. 

The  greatest  two-year-old  trotter  out  last  year 
(Ad  bush  2:20  by  Zolock  2:09})  has  been  leased  by 
Messrs.  Prescott  &  Bonnell,  they  proposing  to  make 
a  s'lort  season  with  him  and  then  send  him  through 
th  /  Pacific  Circuit.  Mr.  Bonnell  stepped  him  away 
_asy  mile  last  week  in  2:24.    Thesameday  hedrove 


Nor^a,  a  bay  mare  he  brought  here  from  Tennessee,  a 
jogging  mile  in  2:22.  This  mare  showed  so  much 
speed  in  the  East  that  Mr.  Bonnell  thought  her  good 
enough  to  take  to  theland  of  the  two-minute  trotters. 

Prince  Ray,  owned  by  Mr.  Bonnell,  is  a  promising 
young  horse  by  Raymond  2:271,  dam  by  Prince  Royal, 
he  by  Dexter  Prince.  This  horse,  barriDg  accidents, 
will  place  ducats  to  his  owner's  credit  in  the  near 
future. 

Mr.  Holloway  has  a  stable  of  very  promising  ycung 
norses.  A  grey  two-year-old  Illy  by  Zolock  2:091, 
dam  by  Pope  Leo  2:19,  can  show  a  half  in  1:10  and  a 
quarter  in  34  seconds.  She  was  foaled  March  4th  and 
uniquely  named  Inaugureta  by  her  owner,  Dr.  I.  W. 
Haztlett;  and,  if  she  does  not  inaugurate  a  new  record 
for  two-year-olds,  many  hereabouts  will  be  surprised. 
Dr.  Haz'lett  also  owns  a  half-sister  to  her  sired  by 
Zombro  2:11  that  many  people  think  is  another  Sweet 
Marie,  as  she  ie  very  much  like  her  in  form  and  dis- 
position and,  for  the  training  she  has  had,  much 
faster. 

Messrs.  S  B.  Wright  and  Al.  U'Ren  of  Colton  own 
Redlock  by  Zolock  2:091,  dam  by  Alta  Rena  2:27  (as  a 
three-year-old).  This  colt  is  a  great  promise;  he  is 
large,  handsome,  perfect  in  gait  and  manners,  and 
with  a  very  little  handling  has  trotted  a  full  mile  in 
2:28,  the  last  half  in  1:11,  the  last  quarter  in  34  sec- 
onds, which,  for  a  colt  only  thirty  months  old,  is  an 
exceedingly  good  showing.  It  is  too  late  to  predict 
speed,  for  he  has  already  shown  that;  but  the  writer 
believes  this  colt  will  make  a  great  sire,  as  he  has  a 
certain  masculine  look  about  his  high  formed  head 
that  is  an  index  of  a  prepotent  horse. 

The  writer  was  invited  to  see  an  exhibition  of  speed 
by  a  five-months-old  colt  (sired  by  Stanton  Wilkes 
2:104,  dam  by  Zolock  2:091)  that  was  the  most  charm- 
ing and  interesting  exhibition  of  speed  be  has  ever 
witnessed.  This  youDgster,  only  ordinary  in  size, 
pulled  a  cart  and  the  trainer  (Mr.  Holloway)  a  quar- 
ter in  40  seconds,  and  when  I  say  that  the  pacer  does 
not  live  that  carries  a  finer  poise  than  this  youngster 
I  know  whereof  I  speak,  as  I  have  seen  about  all  the 
great  ones  in  their  work  and  races;  but  this  colt  so 
far  excels  them  all  that  comparison  does  not  compare 
and  description  fails  to  describe. 

After  the  Matinee  races  are  finished  I'll  tell  you 
how  it  was  done.  E.  J.  Gilbert,  Sec'y. 

Lou  Milton's  Dam  Again. 

A  few  weeks  ago  there  was  printed  in  the  C/iicago 
Horse  Review  a  letter  from  the  well-known  California 
horseman,  Jacob  Brolliar,  of  Visalia,  in  which  he  gave 
aD  account  of  a  conversation  held  with  a  resident  of 
San  Jose  named  Frank  Taylor,  who  stated  th^t 
William  Maxwell,  a  former  resident  of  Waupan,  Wis- 
consin, brought  two  mares  to  California  about  1873, 
called  Fly  and  Gypsy  and  afterwards  sold  them  to 
the  late  W.  C.  Ralston,  and  that  in  his  opinion  the 
mare  Fly  was  the  dam  of  Lou  Milton  Mr.  Brolliar's 
letter  was  printed  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
of  February  28th.  The  Horse  Review  wrote  to  Mr. 
Taylor,  at  San  Jose,  for  further  particulars  and  that 
gentleman  has  replied  in  a  letter  printed  in  the  last 
issue  of  the  Review  which  certainly  bears  every  evi- 
dence of  truth  upon  its  face.  In  this  letter  Mr. 
Taylor  states  that  Fly  was  by  Black  Flying  Cloud, 
out  of  a  mare  by  King  of  Cimry,  next  dam  by  the 
Briggs  horse,  a  Morgan.  The  Review  editor  has 
traced  the  facts  about  these  stallions  aDd  finds  that 
everything  points  to  the  truth  of  Mr.  Taylor's  state- 
ments. Black  Flying  Cloud  was  a  registered  horse 
No.  378,  and  his  pedigree  is  given  in  the  American 
Trotting  Register  as  by  Vermont  Black  Hawk  5,  dam 
Kate,  also  by  Black  Hawk  5,  grandam  Poll  by  Harris 
Hambletonian.  The  horse  King  of  uimry  was  an 
English  thoroughbred  imported  to  this  country  by 
Capt.  McKinnon  of  Wisconsin.  He  was  by  the  great 
Touchstone,  out  of  Merganser  by  Merehant,  second 
dam  Shoveler  by  Scud,  third  dam  Goosander  by 
Hambletonian,  fourth  dam  Rally  by  Trumpator  and 
fifth  dam  Fancy,  a  sister  to  Dicmed  by  Florizel.  The 
Briggs  horse,  while  given  as  a  MorgaD,  has  not  been 
traced  any  further,  but  if  the  pedigree  of  Fly,  the  dam 
of  Lou  Milton,  is  as  Mr.  Taylor  gives  it,  then  the 
breeding  of  the  first  two-minute  trotter  is  of  the 
choicest.  There  is  one  important  feature  in  the  case 
which  leads  one  to  believe  that  Mr.  Taylor  has  fur- 
nished the  correct  breeding  of  Lou  Dillon  and  that  is 
the  age  and  name  of  her  dam  as  he  gives  them  are  the 
same  as  given  to  the  editor  of  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsman  by  Green  Thompson  of  Santa  Rosa,  the 
owner  of  Fly  at  the  time  of  her  death. 

This  jouroal  priDted  the  first  history  of  the  mare 
Fly  as  given  its  editor  by  Mr.  Thompson  aDd  it  was 
the  latter's  story  that  led  to  further  investigation  on 
the  part  of  many  persons.  So  far  as  the  old  Cali- 
fornians  are  concerned  there  were  a  half  dozeD,  each 
with  a  differeot  story  to  relate,  who  claimed  to  have 
traced  the  breediog  of  Fly,  but   Done  of  them  could 


furnish  facts  enough  to  lead  an  unbiased  person  to 
believe  they  had  succeeded.  Luckily,  Mr.  Jacob 
Brolliar  of  Visalia  happened  to  meet  Mr.  Taylor,  who 
has  been  a  resident  of  this  State  but  niDe  years,  aod 
the  latter  dropped  the  remark  that  he  was  aequaioted 
with  the  facts  of  Fly's  breeding  in  Wisconsin  and  her 
removal  to  California.  Mr.  Brolliar  wrote  the  facts 
to  the  Horse  Review  and  that  journal  has  now  printed 
a  full  account  of  it  that  occupies  more  than  a  page  of 
fine  type  and  makes  most  interesting  reading. 

Mr.  Ralston  owned  a  good  many  mares,  and  it  may 
be  that  the  mare  he  gave  his  friend  J.S.Kimball, 
who  sold  her  to  John  Mendenhall  of  Lake  county, 
who  transferred  her  to  Green  Thompson  whose 
property  she  died,  is  Dot  the  same  mare  that  Mr. 
Maxwell  brought  from  WiECODsin  aDd  sold  to  Mr. 
Ralston,  but  the  circumstancial  evidence  is  very 
strong  that  she  is  the  identical  mare,  and  if  Mr. 
Taylor  and  Mr.  Thompson  should  agree  in  their  de- 
scriptions of  her  the  case  would  be  complete.  The 
letter  of  Mr.  Taylor  to  the  Horse  Review  is  as  follows: 
1034  Alameda  Ave.,  San  Jose,  Cal. 
Feb.  1, 1905. 
Editor  Horse  Review: 

Dear  Sir — In  reply  to  your  letter  of  January  12  I 
beg  to  say  that  the  Horse  Review  was  late  in  reaching 
me.  Mr.  Brolliar's  recollections  are  correct  as  to  our 
conversation  relating  to  the  mare  Fly. 

Mr.  Wm.  Maxwell  lived  in  and  near  Waupun,  Wis. 
He  came  to  California,  as  stated,  brirgiDg  the  two 
mares  Fly  and  Gipsey,  as  he  called  them.  They  were 
by  Black  Flying  Cloud,  sire  of  Badger  Girl  2:224,  owned 
by  the  Rowell  Bros.,  of  Beaver  Dam,  Wis.  I  also 
knew  the  dams  of  Fly  and  Gip.  They  were  by  a  horse 
called  King  Cymry,  a  thoroughbred,  imported  and 
owDed  by  Captain  McKenna  of  Neenah,  on  a  small 
island.  The  grandams  were  by  a  Morgan  horse  called 
the  Briggs  Horse.  This  horse  left  but  few  colts.  He 
died  at  the  old  Boston  House,  in  WaupuD,  Wie.,  but 
his  get  were  the  pride  of  Fond  du  Lac  and  Dodge 
counties,  and  were  nearlv  all  mares.  Such  old 
time  horse  breeders  as  William  Hobkirk.  of  Waupun; 
Jacob  Blair  (brother  of  John  I.  Blair  of  New  Jersey), 
who  lived  Dear  HoricoD,  Wis  ;  also  Joho  Peipher  of 
same  place.  Jacob  Jackson  took  one  to  Terre  Haute, 
Iod.  JohD  Ross  and  Wm  Maxwell  each  had  a 
daughter  of  this  Morgan  horse.  John  R^ss  sold  three 
of  his  mare'a  colts  to  Andrus  Burnham  of  Milwaukee, 
and  I  might  as  well  say  here  that  Orrin  Hiekok  weDt 
with  them.  It  was  Mr.  ADdrus  Burnham  that  first 
started  Orrin  as  a  driver  of  trotters  Up  to  that  time 
he  (Hiekok)  had  made  his  home  with  Wm.  Maxwell 
and  John  Ross,  ed  ucating  colts  and  riding  runners. 

Wm.  Maxwell  is  now  dead,  hut  he  left  two  daugh- 
ters, who  came  to  California  and  returned  to  Waupun 
with  him.  The  last  I  knew  of  them  they  lived  at 
Beaver  Dam.  They  may  be  able  to  give  you  some 
light  on  this  subject.  T.  W.  Murkle,  of  Waupun, 
has  a  remarkable  memory  as  to  old  time  horses;  of 
the  Briggs  Horse,  the  Cymries  and  the  Clouds.  A 
man  Darned  Medbury  had  charge  of  the  stallioo  Black 
Flying  Cloud  at  RolliDg  Prairie.  Dodge  county,  for 
Mr.  Woodward,  of  Wat.ert.nwa,  Wis.,  at  the  time  Mr. 
Maxwell  bred  for  Fly  and  Gip. 

Robert  BoDDer  had  a  half-brotber  by  the  name  of 
Bonner  living  north  of  Beaver  Dam  four  or  five  miles, 
that  handled  a  great  many  of  Black  Flying  Cloud's 
colts  and  he  knew  Mr  Maxwell. 

Mr.  Irvin  V.  Preston,  now  a  resident  of  Terre 
Haute,  formerly  lived  at  Waupun,  Wis.,  and  kept  a 
drug  store,  aDd  it  was  in  his  store  soon  after  Mr. 
Ralston's  death  by  drowniDg  in  San  Francisco  bay 
that.  Mr.  Maxwell  told  me  that  he  was  the  man  be 
so'd  Fly  and  Gip  to 

I  have  ofteD  seea  the  mare  AileeD,  owoed  by  the 
late  D.  J.  Murphy  and  I  am  of  the  opinion  she  has  a 
strong  resemblance  to  the  Cloud  family  and  I  often 
look  at  Lou  Dillon  and  faDcy  I  am  ljokiDg  at  a  KiDg 
Cymry  as  I  used  to  see  them. 

Hoping  you  will  be  able  to  secure  some  reliable  iufor- 
matioD  from  some  of  the  parties  whose  Dames  I  have 
given  you,  or  their  sons  or  daughters,  I  am,

"One  of  the  most  wonderful  freaks  of  nature  ever 
heard  of  occurred  at  Hadlow  Place  Farm  od  Friday  io 
last  week  wood  a  brood  mare,  risiag  five  years  old, 
gave  premature  birth  to  three  fillies.  The  dam  is  a

Notes  and   News,    m 


_E.  J.  Delory  has  had  quite  a  number  of  offers  for 
his  pacer  Welcome  Mack  2:204  by  McKinney  since  he 
won  two  matinee  heats  with  him  below  2:10. 


How  about  our  California  Circuit? 


Has  any  association  claimed  a  date? 


If  not,  why  not?  Are  they  all  waiting  on  one  another? 


Forty-one  trotting  stallions  with  records  of  2:10  or 
better  have  sired  standard  speed. 


Fantasy  2:06  will  be  bred    to   Oakland    Baron   2:09} 
after  she  foais  to  Direct  Hal  2:04}. 


H.  K.  Devereux  has  named  Irene  Wilton  2:18},  by 
Wilton,  in  foal  to  John  A.  McKerron  2:044,  in  all  the 
Eistern  futurities.       

Ollis  McKinney  2:16}  by  McKinney,  dam  Princess 
2:27}  by  Electioneer  has  been  added  to  W.  J .  Andrew's 
Empire  City  Farm  stable. 


Keron  Conrad,  who  for  2S  years  was  superintendent 
and  caretaker  of  Charter  Oak  Park,  at  Hartford,  died 
a  few  days  ago,  aged  72  years. 


Fourth  payment  of  $10  each  must  be  paid  on  all 
yearlings  entered  in  Breeders  Futurity  No.  4,  on  or 
before  Wednesday  next,  March  1st. 


A  thousand  people  attended  the  matinee  races  at 
Pleasanton  last  Wednesday  and  saw  some  good  racing 
between  roadsters.     The  track  was  in  fine  shape. 


The  stakes  and  purses  of  the  Breeders'  Meeting  for 
1905  will  be  published  next  week  and  will  close  April 
1st.     A  high-class  program  of  races  will  be  offered. 


Cassian,  the  stallion  that  reduced  his  record  to  2:22 
last  year  at  Eureka,  is  by  Soudan  out  of  Carrie  Malone, 
own  sister  to  Klatawah  2:054,  Chas.  Derby  2:20, 
Katrinka  G.  2:14|  and  others. 


Mr.  Milo  Potter,  manager  of  The  Potter  at  Santa 
Barbara  is  getting  together  another  string  of  trotters. 
Since  he  sold  Sweet  Marie  and  all  his  other  matinee 
horses  in  1901,  Mr.  Potter  has  been  out  of  the  matinee 
sport  and  has  devoted  all  his  time  to  managing  his 
large  hotel  properties.  His  love  for  the  trotter  has 
never  abated,  however,  and  his  many  friends  will 
hail  his  return  to  the  sport  with  pleasure. 


George  G.  2:06}  is  said  to  be  very  big  and  strong 
this  winter  and  in  fine  shape  for  the  training  season. 
Geers  thinks  he  can  make  a  good  race  horse  out  of 
him. 

Van  Hart  2:204  is  a  full  brother  to  Tiverton  2:044 
and  is  a  pretty  good  race  horse  himrelf.  He  has  been 
in  the  money  thirty-three  times  out  of  thirty-five 
starts  and  won  thirteen  races 


Every  stallion  owner  reports  many  inquiries  in  re- 
gard to  breeding.  There  will  be  a  great  deal  of  breed- 
ing done  this  year,  but  it  will  be  impossible  to  catch 
up  with  the  demand  for  good  horses  within  the  next 
five  years. 

Mr.  J  M.  King,  of  Oakland,  recently  purchased  a 
four-year-old  pacer  by  Seymour  Wilkes  2:08J  that  is 
showing  speed  enough  for  a  race  horse.  He  is  hardly 
broken  but  has  paced  a  mile  in  2:20  and  is  a  great 
prospect,  but  will  not  be  raced  by  his  owner. 


Highwood  2:21  J,  brown  horse  by  Nutwood  out  of  a 
mare  by  Harold,  sold  for  $3000  at  the  Chicago  sale. 
He  is  the  sire  of  Caid  2:07},  Ida  Highwood  2:09},  Early 
Reaper  2:09|  and  22  more  in  the  list.  He  was  foaled 
in  1887.  

There  was  a  brush  on  the  speedway  the  other  day 
between  Alta  Vela  2:11}  and  Vic  Schiller  2:11}  and 
the  former  won.  Alta  Vela  is  now  in  his  seventeenth 
year,  but  is  as  proud  as  a  peacock  and  able  to  brush 
with  any  trotter.  

Dr.  C.  D.  Gray,  of  New  York,  is  in  this  city,  trying 
to  arrange  for  the  revival  of  the  San  Francisco  Horse 
Show  Association  and  make  it  a  member  of  a  circuit 
of  horse  shows  to  be  held  each  year  and  that  will  ex- 
tend clear  across  the  continent. 


Bollivar  by  Wayland  W.,  the  new  purchaseof  James 
Butler,  that  Monroe  Salisbury  has  in  his  string  at 
Pleasanton,  won  a  race  at  Eureka  last  September 
beating  Banker's  Daughter  and  Our  Boy's  Sister  in 
straight  heats  in  2:224,  2:23,  2:21. 


The  third  volume  of  the  Hackney  Stud  Book  will 
probably  be  published  in  May,  according  to  A.  H. 
Godfrey,  the  secretary  of  the  Hackney  Horse  Society. 
It  will  contain  pedigrees  of  about  five  hundred  stal- 
lions and  one  thousand  mares,  registered  since  the 
last  volume  was  issued,  in  1896. 


Onward  Silver  2:05},  Kirkwood  Jr.  2:10,  Belle  Ku6er 
2:08,  Contralto  2:10  and  Wainscott  2:10}  are  all  entered 
for  the  approaching  annual  trotting  meeting  at  Nice, 
France.  

A.  T.  Hall,  Banton  Harbor,  Mich  ,  has  just  bought 
from  Henry  Jacobs,  Chicago,  the  pacing  mares,  lone 
W.  2:15}  by  Waldstein  and  Queen  March  2:23}  by 
Delmarch  2:114.  

D.S.Mathews  of  Ryde,  Cal.,  wants  a  good  compe* 
tent  sober  man  to  manage  two  stallions  and  do  busi- 
ness with  them.  He  will  pay  $50  per  month  wages. 
See  advertisement. 

There  is  nothing  in  the  General  Appropriation  bill 
for  the  district  fairs,  and  the  probability  now  is  that 
the  Legislature  will  not  give  even  the  State  Agricult- 
ural Society  very  much. 


Mart  Rollin's  green  trotter  Chas.  Belden  by  Lyn- 
wood  W.  tro.ted  a  mile  over  the  }  winter  track  at 
Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  last  week  in  2:24,  last  half  in 
1:11  and  last  quarter  in  35  seconds,  a  pretty  good  per- 
formance for  this  time  of  the  year. 


Ideal  Stock  Farm  is  the  name  S.  H.  Knox  has  given 
his  new  breeding  establishment  at  East  Aurora,  N.  Y., 
where  Prince  Ideal,  the  $10,000  trotting  stallion,  and 
Lord  Direct,  the  green  pacer  for  whom  he  paid  $10,500, 
will  perpetuate  the  fame  of  Village  Farm. 


F.  W.  Perkins,  of  Oakland,  has  leased  his  stallion 
Athamax  36927  to  Mr.  S.  W.  Lillard,  of  Davisville, 
for  the  season.  Athamax  is  a  grand  looking  and  well 
bred  horse  and  will  be  a  good  horse  for  the  breeders 
in  the  section  of  country  where  he  will  be  kept  this 
year.  

March  1st  is  the  day  when  fourth  payment  must  be 
made  on  all  colts  and  fillies  entered  in  Breeders 
Futurity  No.  4,  which  are  now  yearlings.  The  pay- 
ments are  $10  each.  There  will  be  nothing  more  to 
pay  until  1906.  Don't  let  your  colt  drop  out  of  this 
stake.  ■ 

Charles  A.  Hug's  good  mare  Charivari  2:20}  by 
Sterling,  foaled  a  fine  colt  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:164 
last  week  and  has  been  bred  back.  Charivari's  foal 
was  dropped  on  the  Santa  Rita  Ranch  near  Pleas- 
anton, and  Mr.  Whalen,  the  proprietor,  says  it  is  one 
of  the  grandest  looking  colts  ever  foaled  in  the  Liver- 
more  valley.  

When  Mr.  M.  Murphy's  fine  mare  by  Zombro  2:11, 
out  of  a  mare  by  Woolsey  gets  to  trotting  heats  be- 
low 2:10^which  she  will  surely  do,  we  hope  the  horse 
papers  will  spell  her  name  right.  It  Is  Briquette, 
which  is ''Frongsay"  for  little  brick,  and  her  owner 
does  not  like  to  see  it  printed  Bricket  as  is  often  the 
case.  Briquette  is  one  of  the  fasteBt  green  trotters 
in  California.  

James  W.  Marshall,  of  Dixon,  has  sent  his  mare, 
Mona  Wilkes,  to  the  Pleasanton  track.  Mona  Wilkes 
was  a  close  second  to  Delilah  in  both  heats  of  the  two- 
year-old  stake  at  the  Breeders  meeting  last  year 
when  the  Zolock  filly  paced  in  2:16}  the  fastest  mile 
paced  by  a  two-year-old  in  1904.  Mona  Wilkes  is  by 
Demonio  2:11},  out  of  Trix  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  and 
gives  every  promise  of  being  one  of  the  2:10  pacers  of 
1905.  

Pemberton,  the  three-year-old  trotting  colt  owned 
by  Mr.  T.  J.  Crowley  of  this  city,  is  related  to  two  two- 
minute  families.  His  sire,  Boydello  2:14},  is  by  Boy- 
dell,  a  full  brother  to  Delmar  2:20,  sire  of  Major  Del- 
mar  1:59};  his  dam,  Lottie  Parks  2:16},  is  by  Cupid 
2:18  own  brother  to  Sidney  Dillon,  sire  of  Lou  Dillon 
1:584..  Jack  Groom  will  have  Pemberton  in  his  string 
at  San  Jose,  and  will  point  him  for  the  Breeders 
Futurity.  

A  correspondent  at  Santa  Cruz  writes:  "The  city 
authorities  have  issued  a  peremptory  order  forbidding 
fast  driving  on  Branciforte  Ave.  and  notified  parties 
here  who  were  intending  having  a  colt  race  on  Wash- 
ington's Birthday  not  to  speed  there.  Truly,  Santa 
Cruz  has  fallen  into  dark  ways  and  the  horseman's  lot 
is  not  a  happy  one.  No  track,  no  prospects,  so  we 
will  have  to  move  out.  We  think  the  ultra  sanctified 
are  responsible  for  the  stringent  order." 

Mr.  C.  K.  G.  Billings,  owner  of  Lou  Dillon  1:584,  is 
expected  to  arrive  in  California  any  day  and  expects 
to  spend  a  couple  of  months  here.  He  will  bring  four 
driving  horses  with  him  and  three  high  speed  autos. 
Among  the  horses  is  Rockley  Boy  2:13}  that  is  not 
only  a  fine  saddle  horse,  but-  is  used  by  Mrs.  Billings 
to  a  phaeton.  He  is  said  to  be  one  of  the  finest  all- 
round  horses  in  the  world.  Mr.  Billings  will  bring  his 
son  with  him,  and  Mrs.  Billings  will  come  later  on 
with  the  other  members  of  the  family  - 

We  have  received  a  handsome  half-tone  production 
of  s  photograph  that  Mr.  M.  W.  Savage,  who  sends  it, 
says  is  "the  best  photograph  of  the  head  of  Dan 
Patch  that  has  ever  been  taken."  Mr.  Savage  is  the 
head  of  the  International  Stock  Food  Company  that 
owns  Dan  Patch  1:56,  Directum  2:05},  Roy  Wilkes 
2:06}  and  Arion  2'07},  the  fastest  quartette  of  stallions 
owned  by  any  one  breeding  farm.  The  fees  for  the 
services  of  these  horses  are:  Dan  Patch  $350;  Direct- 
um $250,  Arion  $100  and  Roy  Wilkes  $35. 


Interest  still  centers  to  a  certain  extent  in  the  mare 
Princess  of  Monaco  bred  by  the  late  J.  Malcolm  Forbes 
and  got  by  the  Thoroughbred  imp.  Meddler  from 
Nancy  Hanks  2:04  says  an  exchange-  It  will  be  re- 
membered that  as  a  foal  or  yearling  the  Princess  was 
a  bay,  but  when  two  years  old  changed  color  to  a 
roan  with  four  white  feet.  She  was  sold  at  theForbeB' 
dispersal  for  $625  to  Hillanddale  Farm,  heavy  In  foal 
to  Bingen  2:06}.  She  dropped  the  youngster  all  right 
and  it  is  now  a  lusty  filly  with,  it  is  said,  somewhat  cf 
an  inclination  to  pace.  It  is  extraordinary  what  luck 
attended  theefforts  of  Mr.  Forbes  to  get  fillies  in  these 
matings.  He  got  the  filly  from  Nancy  Hanks  and  the 
Meddler  the  first  time  of  asking  and  though  he  did 
not  live  to  see  it  Princess  Monaco  very  kindly  pre- 
sented another  filly  to  the  world. 


The  Los  Angeles  Times  says  that  Geo.  T.  Beckers, 
owner  of  Zombro  2:11  has  joined  the  Los  Angeles 
Driving  Club,  and  may  drive  his  handscmestallion 
in  some  of  the  matinee  races.  Zombro  is  now  thirteen 
years  old,  but  in  shape  he  would  be  able  to  show  some 
fast  miles  though  it  is  not  probable  that  Mr.  Beckers 
will  do  more  than  give  him  an  occasional  brush  of  a 
heat  or  so 

Welcome  Mack  2:204,  the  McKinney  pacer  that  won 
a  matinee  race  at  Los  Angeles  recently  in  2:09  and 
2:084,  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Hawthorne  and  was  bred  by 
W.  A.  Shippee,  who  sold  him  to  a  party  for  a  few 
hundred  dollars,  the  horse  afterwards  being  taken  to 
Los  Angeles.  Walter  Maben  brought  him  up  north  in 
1902  and  raced  him.  The  best  of  bis  races  that  year  was 
at  Napa  where  he  was  second  to  Robert  1.  three  heats 
in  2:13,  2:10  and  2:11}.  Any  horse  that  can  pace  two 
heats  below  2:10  in  January  is  a  pretty  good  one 
especially  when  he  is  eligible'to  the  2:21  and  all  faster 
classes.  

A  good  trotter  brings  a  good  price  in  the  country  at 
the  present  time,  no  matter  where  he  is  sold.  Gazote, 
three-year-old  record  2:16}  brought  $6100  at  the  Chi- 
cago Horse  Sale  last  Monday.  Gazote  was  bred  at 
Pale  Alto  and  is  by  Nazote  (own  brother  to  Azote 
2:04})  out  of  Lulu  Wilkes  by  George  Wilkes  He  took 
a  record  of  2:16}  last  year  as  a  three-year-old  in  a 
winning  race  and  then  trotted  a  trial  of  2:12.  He  is  a 
handsome  big  horse  and  as  good  gaited  as  anybody's 
trotter.  He  stands  an  inch  over  sixteen  hands  and  is 
almost  perfectly  proportioned.  It  is  expected  he  will 
trot  in  2:10  this  year  as  a  four-year-old. 

Perhaps  your  stallion  has  the  very  blood  lines  and 
conformation  that  some  breeders  are  looking  for,  but 
if  they  do  not  know  his  breeding,  where  he  will  make 
the  season  and  the  price  of  his  service  fee,  they  will 
look  around  until  they  find  a  stallion  that  they  con- 
sider suitable  to  mate  their  mares  with.  An  adver- 
tisement of  your  stallion  in  the  BREEDER  AND 
Sportsman  will  bring  him  before  the  breeders  of 
the  entire  Pacific  Coast  and  need  not  cost  very  much. 
An  owner  who  does  not  spend  the  price  of  a  service 
fee  in  advertising  his  horse  is  not  doing  the  horse 
justice.  

When  anyone  has  property  that  he  cannot  use 
he  naturally  wants  to  sell  even  at  a  sacrifice,  especially 
if  it  consists  of  a  stallion.  At  ad  vertiser  in  this  issue 
of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  has  such  a  piece  of 
property.  The  owner  is  a  wealthy  man  and  has  kept 
the  stallion  at  his  home  for  several  years,  using  him 
as  a  driving  horse  and  attracting  much  attention 
whenever  driving  through  the  streets  as  the  horse  is 
a  handsome  big  17  hand  fellow  with  lots  of  style.  But 
the  owner  is  away  from  home  most  of  the  time  now 
and  can't  find  time  to  drive  the  horse  so  wants  to 
sell.  The  price  is  within  the  reach  of  anyone  that 
can  buy  a  buggy  horse  at  auction  rates  and  we  advise 
horsemen  wanting  a  stallion  to  look  up  the  advertise- 
ment and  go  and  see  the  stallion  He  is  byagocd 
producing  son  of  Electioneer  and  out  of  a  mare 
that  has  produced  two  with  records  betterthan  2.15 
and  can  be  registered.  This  is  one  of  the  best  bar- 
gains offered  in  years.    Look  into  this. 

It  would  not  be  a  bad  thing  if  the  rules  of  the  Na- 
tional and  American  Trotting  Association  required 
that  every  horse  starting  in  a  race  on  any  of  the 
tracks  controlled  by  these  associations  should  be 
measured  by  an  official  employed  for  that  purpose, 
who  should  record  the  figures  in  the  judge's  book  to- 
gether with  a  complete  description  of  the  horse  and 
his  pedigree  so  far  as  known.  This  would  be  a  great 
help  in  identifying  horses  and  would  aid  in  the  tracing 
of  future  pedigrees.  There  are  hundreds  of  horses 
recorded  iD  the  Year  Books  as  untraced  on  the  dam's 
side,  whose  pedigrees  are  well  known  but  were  not 
given  at  the  time  they  raced.  Many  owners  cannot 
tell  how  their  horses  are  bred  without  referring  to 
their  books,  and  easy-going  secretaries  permit  them 
to  enter  without  giving  more  than  the  sire's  name, 
but  if  there  were  an  officer  at  each  race  meeting  espe- 
cially detailed  to  see  that  descriptions  and  pedigrees 
were  recorded,  and  to  see  that  no  horse  started  whose 
owner  had  "left  bis  papers  at  home, "  the  Year  Book 
would  sooa  contain  the  names  of  but  very  few  un- 
traced horses.  

Harry  Helman  has  reached  Pleasanton  from  Port- 
land with  a  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  which  he 
will  train  at  the  horse  center.  The  "Senator, "  as 
they  call  Henry  up  North,  grew  up  in  California  and 
has  trained  and  driven  many  good  ones  here,  but  has 
been  a  resident  of  Oregoc  for  the  past  four  years  and 
has  met  with  success  in  the  webfoot  country.  He  has 
brought  a  good  string  down  with  him,  headed  by  the 
trotter  Mack  Mack  2:12}  by  McKinney.  Mack  Mack 
will  be  in  McKinney's  2:10  list  before  the  year  is  over. 
He  is  a  big  strong  gelding  that  looks  like  one  of  the 
old-fashioned  racoall-day  sort.  Mack  Mack  is  owned 
by  Mr-  J.  R.  Bowles,  of  Portland,  and  is  out  of  Nancy, 
a  mare  of  untraced  pedigree  that  is  the  dam  of  four 
trotters  with  standard  records.  Mr.  J.  A.  Jones,  of 
Springbrook,  Oregon,  sends  down  with  Helman  the 
fillies  Bessie  Jones  and  Nora  Guy.  The  former  is  by 
that  good  son  of  McKinney,  Captain  Jones,  and  out  of 
Ada  Rock,  the  dam  of  Atlas  2:15}.  Nora  Guy  is  by 
Oro  Guy  and  out  of  Daisy  Q.  Hill,  dam  of  Bellemont 
(2)  2:20J,  that  won  the  two-year-old  Breeders  Futurity 
trot  last  year  at  San  Jose.  Oro  Guy  is  a  stallion 
owned  by  Robert  Orr,  of  Hollister,  and  is  by  Oro 
Wilkes,  out  of  a  mare  by  Guy  Wilkes.  It  Is  said  that 
Nora  Guy  is  a  very  promising  filly.  Mr.  E.  B. 
Tongue,  of  Hillsboro,  Oregon,  haB  sent  four,  three  of 
them  by  Lovelace,  viz. :  Byron  Lace  2:14},  Lord  Love- 
lace (2)  2:31  and  Lovely  Dell  (2)  2:37.  The  other, 
Rey  Dare,  is  a  promising  two-year-old  by  Monterey 
The  others  in  the  Helman  string  are:  Gipsy  by  Mc- 
Kinney, owned  by  C.  R.  Reynolds  of  Vancouver; 
Carrie  Shreve,  a  fine  two-year-old  by  Zombro  2:11, 
owned  by  A.  R.  Shreve  of  Washington;  and  Ounita, 
a  filly  byPhallamont  Boy,  owned  by  T.  Talbot  of 
Cornelius,  Oregon.

Death  of  C.  J.  Hamlin. 


"Cicero  J.  Hamlin,  founder  of  the  Village  Farm,  at 
Aurora,  New  York,  one  of  the  organizers  of  the 
National  Trotting  Association,  and  father  of  the 
Grand  Circuit,  died  at  Buffalo,  New  York,  February 
20th,  aged  85  years."  So  read  a  dispatch  sent  out  hy 
the  Associated  Press  on  Tuesday  of  this  week,  and  it 
marked  the  passing  of  the  founder  of  the  greatest 
trotting  horse  breeding  farm  that  ever  existed.  From 
Village  Farm  has  come  so  many  champions  that  it 
would  require  a  column  of  space  in  this  journal  to 
enumerate  them.  More  2:10  and  2:15  performers 
were  bred  at  Village  Farm  than  any  other  establish- 
ment that  ever  existed.  Mr.  Hamlin  had  one  aim  at 
the  beginning  of  his  breeding  venture,  and  that  was 
to  breed  horses  possessing  extreme  speed  and  racing 
qualities  combined  with  beauty  of  form,  size  and 
finish.  How  well  he  succeeded  is  known  to  everyone 
familiar  with  the  records  of  the  turf,  and  the  show 
and  salesring.  Mr.  Hamlin  founded  Village  Farm 
nearly  fifty  years  ago,  and  in  1894,  retired  from  the 
active  management  of  the  same  when  74  years  of  age. 
Since  then  his  son,  Mr.  Harry  Hamlin,  has  carried  on 
the  business  along  the  lines  laid  down  by  the  founder. 
Among  the  heavy  money  winners  produced  on  the 
farm  are  the  folio  ving: 

Trotters— Lord  Derby  2:05}  by  Mambrino  King, 
$74,825;  The  Abbot  2:03}  by  Chimes,  $39,475;  Nightin- 
gale 2:08  by  Mambrino  King,  $40,685;  The  Monk  2:05| 
by  Chimes,  $19,030;  Fantasy  2:06  by  Chimes,  $16,550. 
Pacers — Lady  of  the  Manor  2:04J  by  Mambrino 
King,  $14,350;  Heir-at-Law  2:05}  by  Mambrino  King, 
$13,375;  Bright  Regent  2:06},  by  Prince  Regent,  $11,- 
575;  Shadow  Chimes  2:05  by  Chimes,  $11,300. 

This  list  might  be  extended  until  it  filled  several 
pages,  but  suffice  it  to  say  that  seventeen  2:10  per- 
formers were  bred  at  Village  Farm,  and  they  won  a 
total  of  $253,590. 

The  following  short  history  of  Mr.  Hamlin's  breed- 
ing venture  at  Village  Farm  is  taken  from  an  article 
by  Frederick  Watson  that  appeared  in  a  recent  issue 
of  the  Trotter  and  Pacei : 

"Over  forty  years  ago  Mr.  Cicero  J.Hamlin  com- 
menced to  study  the  breeding  of  horses,  and  although 
he  was  always  ready  to  grasp  any  new  idea  or  system 
that  his  experience  taught  him  would  be  beneficial, 
there  was  one  idea  regarding  breeding  that  he  never 
varied  in,  and  that  was  that  beauty  and  speed  could 
be  obtained  in  the  same  animals  without  either  quality 
interfering  with  the  other.  Another  theory  of  his 
was  that  the  only  way  to  find  out  whether  anything 
was  good  or  bad  was  to  give  it  a  fair  test,  and  if  bad 
to  get  rid  of  it  at  once.  These  ideas  he  followed  out 
throughout  his  many  years'  career  as  a  breeder,  and 
won  out  on  them.  He  bought  Mambrino  King  for,  if 
memory  serves,  $10,000,  because  he  was  the  hand- 
somest horse  in  Kentucky;  breeders  there  called  him 
the 'dude  horse' and  said  he  was  too  'pretty  to  be 
good,' and  Mr.  Hamlin  was  very  generally  laughed 
at  for  his  selection,  but  when  Nightingale  2:0S  began 
to  defeat  the  very  best  of  the  Grand  Circuit  trotters 
it  was  'Pa'  Hamlin's  turn  to  laugh,  and  he  didn't  for- 
get to  tell  them  that  that  game  race  mare  was  by  the 
'dude  horse.'  Mambrino  King  never  took  a  record, 
but  Mr.  David  Bonner  relates  that  he  saw  him  Btep  a 
quarter  at  a  2:25  clip  when  a  six-year-old,  which  would 
be  in  1878,  so  the  clip  was  quite  a  fast  one  for  those 
days.  The  faith  that  Mr.  Hamlin  had  in  Mambrino 
King  was  more  than  realized,  for  the  'dude  horse' 
subsequently  became  one  of  the  leading  sires  and  in 
point  of  2:10  performers,  both  by  himself  and  through 
his  daughters,  the  leading  sire  of  the  world,  for  he 
has  eight  in  the  210  list  and  nine  others  have  been 
produced  by  his  daughters.  In  1891  he  had  none 
even  in  the  2:15  list,  and  his  fastest  performer  then 
was  Prince  Regent  2:16}. 

Although  foaled  in  1872,  it  was  not  until  1885  that 
Mambrino  King  was  credited  with  a  standard  performer 
and  that  was  Lady  Mac,  with  a  record  of  2:25J,  and 
even  she  was  a  "said  to  be."  Then  came  King  Philip 
2:26},  in  1886,  and  it  was  not  until  1890  and  later  that 
the  reputation  of  Mambrino  King  as  a  Bire  was 
brought  before  the  public.  By  1896  he  was  credited 
with  Nightingale  2:08,  two-mile  record  4:33},  three- 
mile-record  6:55};  Moonstone  (p)  2:09;  HeiratLaw 
2:12  and  eleven  others  in  the  2:20' list,  and  his  daugh- 
ters had  produced  Ed.  Easton  (4)  (p),  2:09:]  and  eleven 
others  better  than  2:20.  Two  years  later  Heir  at  Law 
(p)2:05},  Mocking  Bird  (p)  2:08}  and  Dare  Devil  (4) 
2:09}  were  added  to  his  2:10  list  and  his  daughters' 
glory  had  been  augmented  by  the  performances  of 
The  Monk  (4)  2:08}  and  The  Abbot  had  taken  a  four- 
year-old  record  of  2:11}.  Later  Lady  of  the  Manor 
2:04}  and  Lord  Derby  2:05}  appeared  and  The  Abbot 
2:03}  became  champion  of  his  day 

Be.'ore  Mi.  Hamlin  purchased  Mambrino  King  he 

had  Almont  Jr.  2:26  as  premier  stallion,  and   the  son 

■■<  .'   mont  sired  three  great  performers  in  Belle  Ham- 

12},  Globe  2:12}  and   Justina  2:20.    TheBe  three 


did  more  than  their  share  in  bringing  the  Village 
Farm  into  prominence  on  account  of  their  various 
performances  in  double  and  triple  harness.  Belle 
Hamlin  and  Globe  set  the  team  trotting  record  at  2:12, 
and  it  stayed  there  for  many  years;  before  that  Belle 
Hamlin  and  Justina  had  set  it  at  2:13.  Belle  Hamlin, 
Globe  and  Justina  set  the  three-horse  team  record  at 
2:14,  and  it  remains  unbeaten.  A  daughter  of  Al- 
mont, Jr.  produced  Lord  Derby  2:05},  and  this  mare, 
Claribel,  now  nineteen  years  old  and  apparently  not 
in  foal,  sold  at  the  recent  sale  for  $300.  Almonarch 
2:24}  was  another  stallion  of  the  old  days  that  helped 
to  make  the  reputation  of  Village  Farm,  and  he  got 
the  dam  of  Fantasy  2:06,  and  the  grandam  of  Lord 
Derby  2:05}. 

The  purchase  of  Chimes  (2)  2:30},  like  the  purchase 
of  Mambrino  King,  created  somewhat  of  a  wave  of 
ridicule  against  Mr.  Hamlin,  for  Chimes  was  some- 
times spoken  of  as  the  worst  colt  his  dam  ever  pro- 
duced, but  it  turned  out  exactly  the  reverse  and  from 
one  standard  performer,  Chimes  Girl  2:26  as  a  two- 
year  old,  in  1891,  Chimes  being  then  seven  years  old, 
he  is  now  the  sire  of  eight  in  the  2:10  list  and  twenty- 
nine  others  in  2:20  or  better,  while  his  daughters 
have  produeed  Lady  of  the  Manor  2:04},  Dare  Devil 
2:09,  etc. 

It  was  not  alone  in  the  selections  of  stallions  that  the 
success  of  the  Village  Farm  was  made,  for  the  brood 
mares  were  the  best  that  could  be  obtained.  Perhaps 
the  very  best  of  the  lot  was  the  great  producer,  Esta- 
bella,  a  daughter  of  Alcantara,  2:23,  out  of  Annabel 
by  George  Wilkes,  2:22,  grandam  Jessie  Pepper.  Es- 
tabella  was  bought  as  a  two-year-old  by  Mr.  David 
Bonner  from  Gen.  WitherB  and  was  owned  by  him  for 
two  yeare.  Mr.  Bonner  used  to  drive  her  on  the  road 
in  New  York  to  a  one-man  Brewster  road  wagon  and 
relateB  that  she  could  show  a  2:50  clip  to  that  hitch. 
Mr.  Bonner  decided  to  breed  Estabella,  and  for  this 
purpose  sent  her  up  to  Charles  Backman's  Stony 
Ford  Farm,  but  before  she  was  bred,  Mr.  Hamlin 
chanced  to  see  her  there  and  persuaded  Mr.  Bonner  to 
sell  the  mare  to  him,  Mr.  Bonner  only  consenting 
when  Mr.  Hamlin  declared  that  he  wanted  her  for  a 
brood  mare;  the  price  was  $1000.  From  Estabella 
sprang  Prince  Regent,  2:16},  destined  by  Mr.  Hamlin 
to  succeed  Mambrino  King,  but  he  died  young;  Heir 
at  Law  (p)  2:05};  Princess  Chimes  (dam  of  Lady  of 
the  Manor  2:04}  and  she  dam  of  Lord  Direct,  trial  at 
three  years  2:11  that  sold  for  $10  500);  Future  Prin- 
cess, dam  of  Prince  Ideal  that  sold  for  $10,000;  Prin- 
cess Royal  (2)  2:20,  dam  of  the  Earl  2:17,  etc.,  and 
Beveral  others.  Some  little  idea  of  the  value  Estabel- 
la has  been  to  the  Village  Farm  can  be  gleaned  from 
the  fact  that  no  less  than  thirty  of  her  decendants,  of 
of  which  she  was  either  the  first,  second  or  third 
dam,  were  sold  at  the  recent  sale  and  realized  $46,150, 
an  average  of  $1538. 

Two  other  great  mares  from  which  Village  Farm 
gained  much  were  Woful  and  Golddust.  Both  belong 
to  a  period  so  far  back  that  their  names  do  not  appear 
close  up  in  pedigrees  nowadays,  but  from  Woful  was 
descended  Lord  Derby  2:05},  and  the  dam  of  Fantasy 
2:06,  also  the  dams  of  Shadow  Chimes  2:05  and  Pass- 
ing Belle  2:08},  while  from  the  Golddust  family  came 
The  Monk  2:05},  Silver  Chimes  (p)  2:08},  True  Chimes 
2:12},  Oxford  Chimes  2:13},  etc. 

Although  in  the  main  it  has  been  the  principle  of 
the  Village  Farm  to  devote  its  energy  to  campaigning 
horses  only  of  its  own  breeding,  circumstances  have 
led  it  to  do  otherwise  in  a  few  cases,  and  such  cases 
have  chanced  to  be  phenomenal  ones  as,  for  instance, 
the  never  to  be  forgotten  pacer  Robert  J.  2:01},  that 
was  bought  to  take  the  place  of  the  home-bred  Glen- 
dennis  that  fell  dead,  Hal  Pointer  and  later  Direct 
Hal  The  last  named  was  bred  by  Ed  Geer6,  so  in  a 
measure,  was  a  product  of  the  Village  Farm,  and  the 
unbeaten  pacer  was  sold  by  Geers  to  Mr.  Hamlin  for 
$10,000  before  his  memorable  campaign.  Space  pro- 
hibits reference  to  many  other  events  connected  with 
the  Village  Farm,  but  while  it  is  recorded  with  regret 
that  the  noted  establishment  is  now  only  a  matter  of 
history  it  is,  at  least,  satisfactory  to  be  enabled  to 
announoe  that  it  ended  as  it  always  existed,  a  winner, 
for  at  Its  closing  out  sale  it  realized  an  average  price 
that  exceeded  the  average  of  any  large  closing  out  con- 
signment in  the  past  ten  or  twelve  years,  and  a  care- 
ful examination  of  the  prices  at  which  the  stock  was 
Bold  will  show  that  success  followed  it  to  the  last. ' ' 


Young  Brood  Mares. 


Those  who  are  just  entering  the  ranks  of  trotting- 
horse  breederB,  often  ask  if  it  is  best  to  mate  a  two- 
year-old  filly  with  a  stallion,  let  her  raise  a  foal  when 
three  years  old,  and  train  her  afterwards,  sayB  the 
"Horse  Breeder."  English  breeders,  who  have  bred 
for  racing  speed  longer  than  those  of  anv  other  coun- 
try and  have  been  more  successful  in  producing  it 
than  any  others,  do  not,  as  a  rule,  favor  using  mares 
for  brood  purposes  until  they  are  at  least  three,  and 


the  majority  of  them  do  not  put  their  mares  to  breed- 
ing until  they  are  four  years  old.  The  practice  there 
as  stated  by  the  best  English  authors  on  the  subject 
of  breeding,  is,  when  using  a  young,  immature  mare 
for  brood  purposes,  to  mate  her  with  a  matured  stal- 
lion, one  several  years  older  than  herself. 

Probably  the  above  is  the  safest  plan  to  follow  as  a 
general  rule,  with  both  runners  and  trotters,  though, 
when  the  fillies  are  large  of  their  age,  they  are,  some- 
times mated  with  stallions  when  they  are  but  two 
years  old,  and  in  several  oases  that  might  be  men- 
tioned,without  apparent  injury  .either  to  themselves 
or  their  progeny.  Lucy,  by  George  M.  Patchen, 
2:23},  though  unintentionally  on  the  part  of  her  own- 
er produced  a  foal  when  she  was  three  years  old,  yet 
she  was  one  of  the  most  famous  trotters  of  her  day, 
and  took  a  faster  record  than  any  other  son  or 
daughter  of  her  famous  sire.  She  won  more  than 
three  times  the  number  of  heats  in  2:20  that  were  won 
by  the  other  three  trotters  got  by  her  sire. 

Flora  McGregor  by  Robert  McGregor  2:17},  dam  by 
George  Wilkes  2:22,  was  mated  with  Axtell  (3)  2:22 
when  she  was  but  two  years  old,  and  the  next  season 
she  produced  Elloree  2:085.  Axtell  was  but  three 
years  old  the  season  that  Flora  McGregor  was  mated 
with  him.  Elloree  was  trained  some  as  a  yearling, 
was  started  that  season  in  a  $5000  stake  race,  in  a  field 
of  six,  and  got  third  money.  She  was  mated  with 
Allerton  2:09}  as  a  two-year-old ,  was  trained  and  raced 
the  same  season  and  made  a  record  of  2:26}.  The  fol- 
lowing year,  when  three  years  old,  Elloree  produced  a 
filly.  After  the  foal  was  weaned  Elloree  was  put  in 
training  and  reduced  her  record  to  2:18  in  the  third 
heat  of  a  five-heat  race  that  she  won. 

The  filly  that  Elloree  produced  when  three  years 
old  is  registered  as  Hindee.  When  Hindee  was  three 
years  old  she  was  mated  with  her  own  sire,  Allerton 
2:09},  and  the  result  was  the  pacer  Lindan  2:20. 

Elloree  was  not  started  in  her  four  or  five-year-old 
form,  hut  raised  a  foal  each  of  those  seasons.  She 
was  started  as  a  six-year-old  in  1896  and  reduced  her 
record  to  2:11}  in  the  first  heat  of  a  five-heat  race  that 
she  won.  In  1897  Elloree  was  campaigned  in  the 
Grand  Circuit.  She  started  ten  times  that  season, 
won  first  money  in  eight  races;  won  the  third  heat 
and  third  money  in  one,  and  was  behind  the  money  in 
one  that  was  trotted  in  Lexington,  Ky.,  October  9,  in 
which  there  were  nine  starters.  October  18  she  started 
at  Louisville,  Ky.,  against  most  of  the  hor6es  that 
beat  her  at  Lexington,  and  beat  them  in  straight 
heats.  The  time  of  the  third  heat  at  Lou'sville  waB 
2:09}.  She  reduced  her  record  that  season  to  2:09}, 
and  the  time  of  five  of  the  heats  which  Bhe  won  waB 
2:09},  2:09},  2:09},  2:09},  2:09}. 

Elloree  wa9  not  started  in  1898,  but  in  1899  she 
reduced  her  record  to  2:08}  in  the  fourth  heat  of  a 
six-heat  race  that  she  won  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  July 
28th.  In  this  race  she  beat  the  famous  Cresceus  2:02}, 
and  Tommy  Britton  2:06}.  There  were  ten  starters 
in  the  above-mentioned  race.  Tommy  Britton  took 
the  first  and  second  heats  in  2:10,  2:12}.  Cresceuswon 
the  third  in  2:10,  and  Elloree  the  next  three  in  2;08}, 
2:10},  2:12. 

Flora  McGregor,  it  will  be  remembered,  was  only 
three  years  old  when  she  produced  Elloree  2:08},  and 
the  latter  herself  produced  a  foal  when  she  was  but 
three  years  old. 

Flora  McGregor,  the  dam  of  Elloree  2:08},  evidently 
suffered  no  ill  effects  from  being  bred  as  a  two-year- 
old.  She  produced  other  foals,  later  in  11  e  of  course, 
but  none  of  them  were  as  fast  as  the  daughter  of 
Axtell,  which  she  raised  when  but  three  years  old. 
She  was  mated  with  Allerton  2:09}  when  she  was 
five  years  old  and  the  result  was  the  trotter  Hoover 
2:13},  foaled  in  1893.  In  1895  she  produced  Jarl2:26} 
by  Allerton,  and  in  1897  she  produced  a  filly  by  the 
same  sire  that  trotted  to  a  record  of  2:26}  as  a  two- 
year-old  under  the  name  of  Locha. 

It  could  not  have  injured  the  speed  of  Elloree  much 
to  produce  a  foal  when  she  was  but  three  years  old, 
for  her  sire  has  never  got  but  one  faster  trotter, 
Ozanam  2:07. 

Grace  Boyd  was  but  two  years  old  when  she  was 
mated  with  The  Bond6man,  and  the  next  season  she 
produced  Grace  Bond  (3)  2:09},  the  greatest  three- 
year-old  race  trotter  yet  brought  to  light. 

It  would  not  be  advisable  to  use  a  small  sized  two- 
year-old  filly  for  brood  purposes,  but  a  large  one  may 
sometimes  be  used  for  that  purpose  to  advantage, 
provided  she  is  fed  liberally  and  used  carefully  during 
the  period  of  gestation.  Some  breeders  prefer  to 
have  their  fillies  raise  foals  wh»n  three  rather  than 
when  four  year6  old.  They  claim  that  a  three-year- 
old  filly  will  keep  in  better  condition  when  suckling  a 
foal  at  pasture  than  one  four  years  old. 


Free  Service  to  a  High  Class  Stallion. 

Six  high   class  mares  will  be  given  free  service  to 
Milbrae  2:16}.     Milbrae  is  by  Prince  Airlie  (by  Guy 
Wilkes)   dam   Fearless   by  Fallis.     He  is  a  splendid 
individual  and  will  be  raced  this  year.     Apply  to

THOROUGHBREDS.

That's  the  way  he  won  the  California  and  Ascot  Der- 
bies and  most  of  his  other  races  hereabouts. 


As  predicted,  the  death-knell  of  racing  has  been 
sounded  in  Missouri,  the  bill  prohibiting  betting  on 
horse  races   and  repealing  the  so-called  breeder's  law 
having  passed  the  lower  house  by  a  vote  of  111  to  7. 
That  it  will  also  pass  in  the  Senate  by  an  overwhelm- 
ing majority   is   certain,  for   this  is   a   bad   year  for 
"boodlers"  in  Governor  Folk's  State.    This  law  will 
stop  the  operation  of  the  Fair  Grounds,  Delmar,  Kin" 
loch  and  Union  race  tracks,  in  and  around   St.  Louis, 
and  the  new  Elm  Ridge  track  at  Kansas  City,  which 
cost  over  $400,000,  I  am  told.    All  the  adverse  legis- 
lation can  be  laid  at  the  door  of  race  track  owners,  for 
had  they  been  less  hoggish  and    had   about  just   half 
the  racing  that  they  did  in  a  big  city  like  St.  Louis, 
there  could   not  have  been  the  hue  and  cry  raised 
against  racing  that  was  raised,  and  no  law  could  have 
been  passed  against  it,  for  nine  persons  out  of  ten 
(even   counting  the  religiously  inclined)  like  a  good 
horse  race.    But  when  "a  business"  is  made  out  of 
"a  sport,"  and  "such  a  business"  as  it  is,  it  is  only  to 
be  expected  that   when   the  race  track  swine  get  to 
fighting  over  the   swill  such   product   will  be  over- 
turned, and  then  the  "goody-goody"  man   gets  in  his 
work  on  the  legislators.    The  Folk  administration  is 
pledged   to  purge  the  State  of  boodlers  and  all  other 
ills  that  come  under  its  notice,  and,  as  I  said  before, 
the  Governor  had   reason  to  strongly  dislike  Harry 
Hawes,  candidate  for  Governor  before  the  convention 
against  him,  Police  Commissioner  of  St.  Louis,  friend 
of  racing  and   especial  friend  of  the  Cella,  Adler  & 
Tilles  combination  which  own  the  Fair  Grounds  and 
Delmar  tracks.    It  certainly  does  look  as  if  owners  of 
race  tracks  ar9  running  along  on  ice  of   about  the 
thickness  of  tissue  paper  in  the  Middle  West,  and 
there  will  have  to  be  a  radical  change  or  the  sport  in 
that  section   will  go  to    the    demnition   bow-wows. 
There  will  have  to  be  a  decided  curtailment  of  the 
dates  in  all  the   big  racing  centers  like  Chicago,  St. 
Louis  and  Cincinnati,  and  places  like  Cleveland,  In- 
dianapolis,  Memphis,  Nashville  and  Atlanta  should 
be  made    good   racing  towns   and  be  allotted   such 
dates  that  the  people  will  become  "educated  to  the 
game,"  as  the  race  track  habitue  would  say.    These 
towns  are  rare  good    "prospects"    Cleveland    turns 
out   wonderfully   well  to  see  the    trotters  and  as  it 
has  a  population  of     close  to    400,000,   should   sup- 
port a  high   class  thirty-day  running  meeting  each 
year.    However,  the   "goody  goods"  might  step  in 
there  and  stop  the  game,  for  there  is  a  law  on  the 
books  of  Ohio  prohibiting  betting  on  horse  races, 
though  they  don't  enforce  the  law  in   "fair  times"  a 
little  bit.    Indianapolis  is  a  prosperous  place  of  per- 
haps   200,000,   and    she    would    doubtless  stand    for 
twenty  days  of  high  class  racing  per  year  and  support 
it  well.    Memphis  is  the  best  racing  town  in  America 
of  its  size,  and  would  welcome  more  racing  than  it  is 
treated  to.    A  track  would  have  to  be  built  there  un" 
less  Mr.  Billings  would  sell  his  plant  and  stand  a  law 
suit  with  the  New  Memphis  Jockey  Club,  which   has 
leased  the  place  and  closed  it  up,  "allee  samee"  trust. 
Nashville  is  a  good  town  with  a  fine  track  and  could 
stand  twenty  days  of  racing  and   Atlanta,  with   her 
220,000  population,  is  ripe  for  a  new  race  track  and  at 
least  a  thirty  day  meeting.      Thus   matters  stand   in 
the  Middle  West  and  South,  and   the  manager  with 
the  most  nerve  and    greatest   power  of  discernment 
will  win  out  in   the   fight   for  supremacy,  which   was 
inaugurated  at  New  Orleans  February  11th,  and  still 
goes  on,  blowing  a  wide  swath  of  money  in  its  path 
and  with  benefit  to  none  except  the  breeder,  who  is 
now  forced  to  furnish  twice  as  many   racers  for  this 
section  as  formerly. 


The  racing  at  Emeryville  has  been  "fierce"  from  a 
student's  standpoint,  most  of  the  time  this  season, 
the  exception  being  the  fir6t  three  weeks  of  the  season. 
Hulford  was  a  9  to  10  favorite  on  Tuesday,  and  is 
ridden  by  Wright,  who  turns  his  horse  sideways  just 
as  the  barrier  is  released,  being  as  good  as  left  with 
the  horse.  The  same  day  Greenfield  gets  Del  Carina 
left  (she  is  played  from  5  to  1  to  3  to  1)  in  the  last 
race  of  the  day.  Wednesday,  Stilicho,  Wright  up,  is 
as  good  as  left  in  the  mile  handicap  and  by  the  run  he 
made  I  judge  he  would  have  won.  Meada  beat  a  fine 
field  of  sprinters  on  Tuesday.  In  her  previous  race 
he  was  eighth  in  a  field  of  eleven  and  in  the  one  be- 
fore that,  when  an  11  to  10  favorite,  was  last  in  a  sev- 
en horse  field.  This  iB  going  some — zigzag.  M.  A. 
Powell  beat  True  Wing  8|  lengths  and  gave  to  eight 
pounds  January  25th  in  a  race  of  a  mile  and  50  yards, 
but  last  Tuesday,  True  Wing  beat  Powell  4  lengths 
with  ea6e  at  a  difference  of  but  five  pounds.  Tsabel- 
lita  turned  a  nice  flip-flop  on  Tuesday,  too,  and  when 
one  looks  at  her  two  previous  races  you  wonder  where 
the  poor  form  player  gets  off,  The  races  of  Trapsetter 
Barney  Dreyfuss  and  Frangible  that  were  in  that  same 
Isabellita  race,  are  studies  in  flip-floppery  also,  and 
Greer ock  has  doubtless  developed  into  a  rank  in-and- 
outer,  too,  judging  by  his  recent  showings.  Barney 
Dreyfuss  is  with  the  old  fellow,  and  Budd  Wade  is  not 
a  bad  sort  of  somersault-turner. 


I  would  not  be  surprised  to  see  Dr.  Leggo  surpaBB 
Claude  as  a  Derby  winner.  The  strongly-built  little 
bay  colt  has  already  won  the  Ascot  and  California 
Derbies  and  is  entered,  as  I  understand  it,  in  all  the 
principal  Derbies  of  the  country.  However,  he  may 
not  have  a  chance  at  the  American  or  St.  Louis  races 
of  that  sort  this  season,  as  Claude  did,  on  account  of 
the  laws  which  threaten  racing  in  Illinois  and  Missouri. 
Dr.  Leggo  and  Claude  are  much  alike  in  conformation, 
being  on  the  stocky  "bull"  order  that  horsemen  term 
"big-little"  and  "all  horse."  Dr.  Leggo  is  thebrighter 
bay  of  the  pair  and  just  about  the  same  height  as  was 
Claude  at  his  age— about  15. 1 J  hands  though  15  3  at 
present.  Strangely  enough,  Dr.  Leggo  is  from 
a  Watercress  mare  (Sevens),  and  Watercress  (16 
hands,  3J  inches  in  height)  is  one  of  the  largest 
horses  ever  seen  in  California.  Dr.  Leggo  wins 
nearly  all  his  races  alike,  lying  third  or  fourth  until 
half  a  mile  from  home,  running  over  his  field  in  the 
the  next  quarter,  entering  the  home  stretch  slightly 
in  front,  and  winning  going  away  in  a  great  big  galop. 


A  brand-new  lot  of  two-year-old  maidens  made  their 
appearance  at  Emeryville  last  Monday  and  Moroopus, 
a  bay  gelding,  Canopus-Hannah  Moore,  from  P. 
Sheridan's  stable,  proved  to  be  a  very  fleet  youngster 
he  winning  all  the  way,  to  the  sorrow  of  the  pencil- 
ers,  for  the  winner  was  played  from  10  to  1  to  3  to  1. 


"It's  an  111  Wind  That  Blows  Nobody   Good. 

[Holman  F  Day  in  The  Cosmopolitan.] 
Wher-rew-w-w!  the  wind  in  the  stubble-field, 

Where  dry  stalks  rustle  their  heads  together; 
Pools  by  the  roadside,  all  of  'em  sealed 

O'ernight  by  the  clerk  of  the  frosty  weather. 
The  corn-stalks  clatter  their  rusty  rags, 

Lashing  the  nipping  wind  that  passes. 
Dry  leaves  scamper  like  dusty  vags 

And  are  caught  and  held  by  the  constable  grasses. 

But  let  the  big  winds  whoop  and  blow! 
Come  on,  old  Winter,  dump  your  snow! 
We  Newry  folks  aren't  sad.  We  grin, 
Por  ihe  automobiles  will  be  snowed  in. 

They've  checkered  through  all  summer  long, 

With  dust  and  stink  a-streaming  after; 
Honking  like  geese,  or  with  clanging  gong, 

And  a  runaway  horse  is  food  for  laughter. 
Oh,  the  frost  will  coat  on  the  windows  soon; 

The  drifting  flakes  will  drive  like  fury, 
And  the  snow  won't  melt  on  the  eaves  at  noon, 

And  we'll  have  to  den  like  bears  at  Newry. 

But  pile  her  thick  and  pile  her  deep! 
We'll  burrow  under  end  eat  and  sleep. 
We've  grub  a-plenty  in  barrel  and  bin — 
And  the  automobiles  will  be  snowed  in. 

It  ain't  much  fun  in  the  country  now, 

Living  here  in  the  "glorious  summer;" 
When  you  herd  your  6heep  or  lead  your  cow. 

Along  comes  a  chap  in  a  benzine  hummer. 
Our  wimmin- folks  don't  dare  to  ride — 

It's  only  continual  yell  and  twitching 
Behind  a  horse  scared  out  of  his  hide, 

Breaking  his  tugs  and  bu'stlng  the  britching. 

Then,  whoop  'er  up,  old  Winter,  please! 
Give  us  snowdrifts  to  our  knees. 
We'll  have  our  turn  when  you  begin, 
For  the  automobiles  will  be  snowed  in. 


Lady  King,  a  grand-looking  bay  Ally  from  D.  Cam" 
eron's  stable,  won  the  flrsi  race  Wednesday  without 
being  fully  extended.  The  report  was  out  that  she 
was  as  good  as  Sir  Wilfred  and  she  was  accordingly 
made  a  red-hot  favorite  closing  at  7  to  5.  For  once 
the  rumor  wascorrect,  for  it  was  "no  race" 


It  Beems  the  local  paperB  had  it  wrong  about  Judge 
J.  A.  Murphy.  He  is  now  Secretary  of  the  American

Pony  Racing  at  Ingleside. 

About  2000  people  went  to  Ingleside  track  on 
Wednesday  to  see  the  races  run  by  ponies  and  jumpers 
owned  by  members  of  the  California  Polo  and  Pony 
Racing  Association.  Society  people  were  out  in  force 
and  the  club  house  veranda  presented  a  very  pretty 
Bight  during  the  afternoon,  while  the  grand  stand 
held  quite  a  crowd  and  the  betting  ring,  where 
mutuals  were  sold  at  $5  each,  was  well  patronized. 
Mr.  R.  E.  deB.  Lopez  acted  as  presiding  judge,  Mr. 
R.  J.  Havey  wielded  the  starter's  flag,  and  the  other 
officials  were:  Major  Rathbone,  H.  T.  Scott  and  J. 
Grant,  stewards;  W.  D.  Randall,  timekeeper;  D.  W. 
Donnelly,  clerk  of  the  scales  and  Robert  Leightcn,

Vet  Tryon  has  a  five-year-old  mare  by  Stickle,  out 
of  a  mare  by  Col.  K.  R.  that  is  one  of  the  warmest 
things  in  Sacramento.  She  is  a  natural  trotter  and  a 
good  gaited  one.  A  quarter  in  33  seconds  seemed 
easy  for  her  last  year  and  she  looks  like  the  goods  for 
the  slow  classes  this  year.  Stickle  is  a  son  of  Silver

Los  Angeles  Matinee. 

Five  thousand  people  were  at  Agricultural  Park, 
Wednesday,  to  enjoy  the  matinee  races  of  the  Driving 
Club.  No  sensational  time  was  made  in  any  of  the 
races,  but  the  racing  was  good  and  the  crowd  highly 
pleased  with  the  sport.  Mr.  Henry  Arms  started  his 
stallion  Limonero  2:15J  in  one  of  the  events  and  the 
son  of  Piedmont  won  the  first  heat  in  2:18,  a  pretty 
good  mile  for  a  horse  that  has  already  begun  the  stud 
season. 

The  race  for  the  Hamburger  cup  was  won  by  a 
horse  that  the  Los  Angeles  Times  designates  as  "Pop" 
Henderson's  recent  importation  Ollie.  Wonder  if 
this  could   mean  the  Silas  Skinner  gelding  (Ole  2:11)? 

In  the  free-for-all  pace  E.  J.  Delory  clinched  his 
title  to  the  Erkenbrecher  cup  by  winning  the  third 
leg  of  the  race  again  with  Welcome  Mack,  that  did 
not  have  to  pace  faster  than  2:14  to  win. 

W.  A.  Clark,  Jr.,  one  of  the  new  members  of  the 
club  won  a  race  with  Master  Delmar,  and  another 
with  his  namesake  Will  Clark.  Thesummariesfollow:

A  matinee  record  is  a  much  better  test  of  the  speed 
and  endurance  of  a  horse  than  any  record  made  in  a 
contest  againBt  time.  In  the  majority  of  matinee 
races  wagons  are  pulled  by  the  horses  and  regular 
race  chances  are  taken,  while  in  races  against  time 
the  contestant  has  every  advantage  of  good  day  and 
good  track  and  the  mile  is  trotted  or  paced  next  the 
pole.  McKinney  is  credited  with  eleven  2:10  perfor- 
merB,  all  race  records.  There  are  two  more  of  his  get 
Nora  McKinney  2:09J,  trotting,  to  wagon  and  Welcome 
Mack  2:085,  pacing,  to  sulky  that  should  be  add.  d  to 
his  2:10  list  as  both  made  their  records  in  ma'i 
races.  This  giveB  McKinney  thirteen  2:10  perfoi 
seven  of  tbem  trotters.

'  ir  of  the  Field,  was  used  for  interpreting  the  lime  standard  cartridge  when   fired    from    the  half-choke 

surements  obtained  in  experiments   under  consid-  barrel,  which  was  so  fully  described  in  our  previous 

n.    It  is  interesting  to  note  that  in  these  experi-  issue. 


After  cutting  off  the  choke  portion  of  the  muzzle, 
we  made  a  fresh  series  of  testB  for  velocity,  and 
obtained  the  following  reading  over  5  yardE: 

1230  1271  1240  1240  1260 

1230  1271  1230  1240  1260 

Average  of  series,  1247. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  variations  from  shot  to  shot 
were  in  several  instances  in  excess  of  the  actual 
amount  which  distinguishes  the  choke  from  the 
cylinder  results.  On  the  other  hand,  this  is  not  a 
greater  variation  than  that  which  normally  exists 
between  cartridge  and  cartridge,  even  when  loaded  in 
a  laboratory.  The  average  of  the  series,  nevertheless, 
displays  a  marked  increase  of  velocity  following  the 
removal  of  the  muzzle  choke;  and  as  the  shots  were 
fired  within  a  short  time  of  one  another,  and  the  car- 
tridges used  were  of  the  same  batch,  and  in  every  way 
as  nearly  as  possible  of  a  uniform  character,  we  feel 
that  there  is  every  justification  for  adoptirg  the 
difference  of  22  feet  between  the  averages  of  the  two 
series,  as  fairly  representing  tbe  differer.ee  between 
the  behavior  of  the  same  barrel,  first  with  a  half- 
choke  muzzle,  and  secondly,  with  a  true  cvlinder  bore. 
In  our  experiments  of  last  year  we  showed  a  difference 
between  a  full  choke  and  a  cylinder  barrel  of  45  feet. 
We  now  get  about  half  that  difference  with  a  gun 
having  a  half-choke  muzzle.  This  seems  to  be  quite 
in  accordance  with  what  one  might  expect.  Last 
year  we  were  able  to  fix  tbe  velocity  over  the  first  5 
yards  for  No.  7  shot  at  1243  feet  per  second.  Now  we 
get  a  velocity  of  1247  feet  per  second  with  No.  6  shot. 
This  agair,  is  as  near  as  one  can  expect  to  go  in  mak- 
ing experiments  involving  such  minute  distinction  of 
time  intervals.  Last  year's  full-choke  results  with  all 
sizes  of  shot  gave  us  a  velocity  of  1185  feet  over  5 
yards.  This  year  wilh  a  half-choke,  we  get  1225  feet. 
We  may  consider  this  distinctly  higher  velocity  near 
tbe  muzzle  as  mostly  accounted*  for  by  the  difference 
of  resistance  caused  by  the  two  sizes  of  choke. 

The  experimental  particulars  which  we  have  given 
in  this  article  no  doubt  suffer  from  the  introduction 
into  a  discussion  of  sporting  gunnery,  of  facts  and 
figures  which  are  unduly  minute  and*  technical;  but 
we  have  atleast  the  justification  that  they  prove,  with 
as  much  force  as  our  present  state  of  knowledge  allows 
for,  that  the  charge  of  shot  in  traveling  along  the 
barrel  is  retarded  when  it  encounters  the  constricted 
orifice  of  the  choke  muzzle.  Tbat  the  loss  of  speed  is 
in  some  way  or  another  closely  related  to  the  reduced 
dispersion  of  the  pellets  we  feel  fully  convinced.  We 
have  never  regarded  the  theory  that  tbe  cboke  acts 
as  a  kind  of  deflecting  screen  which  drives  the  pellets 
inwards  as  a  sound  explanation  of  choke  boring;  but 
we  do  hold  that  a  definite  loss  of  velocity,  however 
slight  it  may  be,  may  set  up  wave  pressures  amoDg 
the  powder  gases  in  the  barrel  which  may  so  modify 
their  subsequent  outrush  as  to  influence  the  dispersion 
of  the  pellets  from  the  true  line  of  flight.  Future  ex 
periments  with  a  gun  barrel  of  abnormal  length,  and 
another  with  holes  so  drilled  around  it  as  to  get  rid  of 
the  gases  at  the  rear  of  the  shot  before  it  leaves  the 
muzzle,  may  serve  to  provide  further  confirmation  of 
the  theory  underlyirg  tbe  action  of  choke  boring  in 
guns. — The  London  Field.

Striped  Bass   Club  Outing. 

Surf  fishing,  with  fly-casting  and  lure-casting  con- 
tests, were  indulged  in  last  Suuday  at  Bakers  Beach 
by  over  a  sci-re  of  rod  wielders  at  the  outing  of  the 
San  Francisco  Striped  Bass  Club.  Weather  condi- 
tions were  pleasant,  despite  threatening  rain.  Con- 
trary to  expectations  tbe  bass  had  apparently  de- 
cided to  give  the  beach  waters  the  go-by  for  the  day, 
for  not  a  signal  from  the  desired  fish  was  vouch- 
safed the  numerous  anglers  who  tried  to  land  one  of 
the  striped  game  fish — which  variety,  by  the  way, 
has  been  fairly  in  evidence  at  the  surf-beaten  beach 
recently. 

The  successful  fisherman  of  the  day  was  Chef  Brei- 
denstein,  who  landed  a  four-foot  leopard  sbark  and  a 
brace  of  crabs.  Tbe  fish  chowder  prepared  by  Brei- 
denstein  was  the  particular  inducement  that  pulled 
the  crowd  out  among'  the  sand  dunes.  The  chef's 
culinary  masterpiece  earned  him  the  title  of  "the 
German  Sanguinetti." 

Among  those  present  were:  Bert  Spring,  W.  J. 
Hynes,  Charles  F.  Breidenstein,  Frank  Marcus,  Fred 
E.'Daverkosen,  W.  J.  Street,  Nat  Mead,  Charles  H. 
Kewell,  George  Walthers,  Sam  A.  Wells,  George 
Wentworth,  A.  M.  Blade,  James  Watt,  W.  H.  L. 
Miller,  L.  Haaf,  James  S.  Tarner,  James  Lynch, 
Franzen  brothers,  H.  A.  Herringer,  H.  A.  Sengstack 
and  others.

Wire  Haired  Fox  Terriers. 


The  following  review  of  Wire  Haired  Fox  Terriers 
by  Mr.  W.  S.  Glynn  is  taken  from  the  Retrospect  for 
1904  in  the  January  issue  of  the  English  Kennel  Ga- 
zette: 

This  breed,  or  rather  this  variety  of  a  breed,  suffers 
now  as  it  always  has  done  from  a  curse,  the  curse  of 
criticism,  and  that,  as  a  rule,  either  of  a  fool  or  an 
ignoramus.  Nothing  is  too  bad  for  it,  nought  is  there 
good  in  it,  abuse  is  heaped  on  the  neads  of  its  owners, 
they  are  the  arch  fiends  of  the  dog  world,  they  are 
the  man,  we  are  told,  for  whom  durance  vile  ia  too 
easy  a  punishment;  they  ought  to  be  butchered,  bar- 
bered,  bakered  and  tortured  as  they  torture  their 
poor,  unfortunate  animals. 

I  say  the  curse  of  the  fool  or  the  ignoramus  is  on 
this  breed  I  mean  it  and  I  know  not  which  is  the 
least  harmful. 

I  have  kept,  bred,  reared  and  exhibited  many  spec- 
imens of  this  variety  for  over  twenty  years,  and  dur- 
ing all  those  years  I  have  listened  to  the  veriest  non- 
sense about  the  variety  that  it  is  possible  to  imagine 
emanating  from  the  mouths  of  outsiders,  exhibitors, 
judges,  reporters,  editors  and  all  the  rest  of  them, 
either  wishful  to  harm  one  of  the  best  varieties  of  the 
dog  that  we  have  or  utterly  ignorant  of  what  they 
are  talking  about.  Despite  all  this,  the  Wire  Haired 
Fox  Terrier — don't  forget  its  name,  please — is,  in  my 
opinion,  in  better  state  now  than  it  ever  has  been. 

It  has  recovered  from  a  Bhock  uf  some  two  years 
ago,  when  chore  appeared  everv  likelihood  of  its  being 
thrown  back  some  ten  yearsor  more  by  the  infusion — 
by  a  clever  brigade,  no  doubt — of  some  utterly  wrong 
Smooth  blood  into  Its  veins.  Breeders  have,  how- 
ever, I  tnink,  seen  the  awful  consequences  of  touching 
any  of  this  stuff,  and  are  going,  as  I  most  devoutly 
trust  they  will,  for  the  bona  Hue  wire-coated  animal 
and  leaving  the  sheep-coated  brutes  alone. 

Coat  is  tne  essential  point,  and  as  the  breed  happens 
to  be  called  Wire  Haired  and  not  silky  haired,  the  tex- 
ture of  such  coat  should  surely  partake  more  of  wire 
tnan  of  sitk  or  lambs'  wool. 

The  fool  and  the  ignoramus  will  tell  you  that  every 
Wire  Hair  of  the  present  day  is  faked,  and  he  will 
with  some  reason  point  to  the  winnings  under  well 
known  judges  of  some  undoubtedly  very  much 
trimmed  specimens,  and  thereupon  tar  the  whole 
breed  with  the  same  brush,  which  is  absolutely  unfair 
to  do. 

To  me,  at  times,  it  ia  too  awful  to  watch  Wire  Hair 
judges  (!)  officiating.  Time  after  time  have  I  seen 
tnem  go  through  a  whole  class  of  fresh  dogs  without 
ever  handling  a  coat;  time  after  time  have  I  myself 
shown  a  real  good  coated  Terrier  and  the  judge  (1) 
has  never  put  his  hand  near  the  coat,  which  means 
that  he  has  not  judged  the  class  of  the  Terrier. 

To  any  oue  who  knows  the  breed  there  is  nothing 
easier  in  the  world  than  to  sift  the  wheat  from  the 
cnaff  in  this  matter  of  coat.  A  bad  coated  Teirier 
can  be  "spotted"  at  once  by  proper  handling,  no 
matter  how  his  coat  is  prepared,  and,  this  being  so, 
any  honest  judge  ought  to  very  severely  handicap  or 
throw  out  altogether  the  spurious  coated  one. 

If  judges  would  do  this  there  would  be  an  end  to 
trimming  or  faking — call  it  what  you  will — and  the 
mouth  of  the  fool  and  the  ignoramus  would  be  forever 
Btopped.  There  is  but  one  other  alternative — call  'em 
"Swansdown"  or  "Flock"  Terriers. 

Quite  recently  I  judged  at  a  show  in  London,  and 
had  the  honor  of  judging  a  very  fair  lot,  among  them 
several  which  I  had  not  judged  before,  notably  a  bitch 
called  Dusky  Siren.  Now  this  is  undoubtedly  a  high 
class  Terrier,  and  as  good  in  outline  as  one  would  wish 
to  see.  Her  coat  on  the  body  on  that  day  was  very 
fair,  but  she  possesses  an  absolutely  infallible  sign 
that  she  is  not  a  good-coated  Terrier,  inasmuch  as 
she  is  possessed  of  beautiful,  sleek,  fleecy  and  silky 
hairs  all  round  her  muzzle.  My  experience  is,  and  I 
Btand  or  fall  by  it,  that  if  the  hair  round  the  muzzle 
is  silky,  so  is  it,  if  left  alone,  all  over  the  body.  It  is 
marvellous  how  constant  attention  and  perfectly 
legitimate  powdering  will  harden  an  indifferent  coat 
on  the  body,  but  nothing  will  harden  those  telltale 
fleeces  round  the  muzzle;  and  what   a  mercy   this  is. 

The  Editor  of  the  Fox  Terrier  Chronicle,  who  is,  of 
course,  a  most  able  judge  of  a  Terrier,  in  commenting 
on  this  show  (the  Ladies'  Show)made  a  remark  to  the 
effect  that  the  judge  did  what  no  judge  should  do. 
viz.,  he  judged  in  futurity — that  is,  he  let  it  weigh 
with  him  what  the  Terrier  would  be  in  three  months' 
time,  and  that  he  only  ought  to  judge  them  as  he  saw 
them  before  him. 

How  entirely  the  said  editor  missed  the  judge's 
point  must  be  apparent.  The  judge  did  judge  them 
asheBawthem  before  him;  he  saw  the  Bilky  hairs 
therein  the  ring  before  him;  he  knew  what  they 
maant,  and  he  awarded  the  prizes  in  consequence, 
and  it  is  in  his  opinion  the  absolute  duty  of  any  judge 
to  severely  handicap  any  Wire  Haired  Fox  Terrier  in 
which  he  sees  an  infallible  sign  that  the  said  Terrier 
is  a  bad  coated  specimen,  and  if  he  has  any  wit  about 
him  he  needn't  wait  three  months  to  see  that. 

I  hope  in  theaboveremarksl  have  made  myself  clear, 
and  have  done  this  without  giving  offence  to  any  one; 
no  offence  is  meant.  I  feel,  however,  that  plain  speak- 
ing on  the  subject  of  the  Wire  Hair  Fox  Terrier  is 
very  necessary  at  the  present  time,  when  such  utter 
nonBenseis  talked  and  written  about  them.  There 
are  oceans  of  material  in  the  country  forjudging  the 
classes  properly;  sound  bona  fide  Terriers,  whom  it  is 
sickening  to  see  the  too  often  weak-kneed,  careless, 
follow  Mr.  Somebody  else's  awards  kind  of  judge  put 
down  below  the  gajly  and  clearly  trimmed  down 
lamb's  wool  specimen  of  a  Terrier.  To  me  as  a  judge — 
if  I  am  one — it  is  a  poor  compliment  to  have  these 
brutes  shown  under  me.  There's  one  comfort — they 
don't  come  twice. 


Touching  this  subject,  I  see  Mr.  Mayhew  has  been 
writing  some  most  able  articles  on  the  trimming  of 
Terriers.  I  blush  vhen  I  say  most  able,  for  he  says 
exactly  what  I  say — it  is  the  judge's  fault,  not  the  ex- 
hibitors. As  long  as  the  latter  can  get  fools  enough 
among  the  former  to  show  the.r  "decorative"  speci- 
mens under  the  win,  so  long  will  trimming  and  faking 
continue.  And  who  can  blame  the  exhibitor?  I 
don't. 

Mr.  Mayhew  is  an  able  authority  on  the  Wire  Hair. 
Years  ago,  in  England,  before  he  went  out  to  America, 
I  remember  him  showing  some  excellent  Terriers, 
though  he  had  one  dog  in  Brittle,  which  I  do  not 
think  did  coats  much  good. 

Another  well-known  Fox  Terrier  expert  who  bas 
been  airiDg  his  views  on  the  Wire  Hair  is  Mr. 
O'Connell,  and  he,  in  making  a  few  remarks  in  an 
American  paper  on  the  Wire  Hairs  at  the  Kennel 
Club  Show,  says  something  of  this  sort:  "Where  are 
Wire  Hairs  of  long  ago:  the  breed  is  all  changed; 
where  is  the  good  sound  Terrier  of  years  ago?"  etc. 
What  does  he  mean?  I  wish  he  had  been  a  bit  more 
explicit  and  given  us  the  names  of  some  of  his  ideals. 
I  will  agree  with  him  at  once  if  he  asks  where  is  the 
Quantock  Nettle?  where  the  Barton  Marvel?  Fori 
do  not  think  there  is  a  bitch  living  today  that  would 
be  in  the  same  street,  at  any  rate,  with  the  former; 
but  if  he  means  that  Wire  Hairs  have  degenerated  as 
a  variety,  I  cannot  for  one  moment  ag^ee.  I  think 
one  is  apt  to  forget  that  nowadays  in  most  breeds, 
certainly  so  in  Wire  Haired  Fox  Terriers,  there  are 
hundreds,  where  in  the  long  ago  referred  to  there 
were  tens,  and  with  the  increase  in  numbers  so  must 
you  have  an  increasein  varieties,  of  type?,  and  at  any 
big  show  you  are  bound  to  see  some  classes  with  ssveral 
different  types  in  the  ring  at  the  same  time;  but  given 
all  this  in,  eliminate  altogether  the  Barber's  Darlings, 
and  I  am  of  opinion  the  Wire  Hair  of  the  present  day 
can  compare  very  favorably  with  any  breed  in  similar- 
ity and  quality  "f  type,  which  I  think  is  of  far  higher 
quality  all  round  than  that  to  be  seen  in  the  days  of 
say.  Champions  Briggs  and  Jack's  Yarn. 

We  have  never  had  so  many  really  first  class  stud 
dogs  in  our  country  as  we  have  now.  Briar  Sports- 
man, Sylvan  Result,  Roystou  Ringleader,  Briar 
Cackler,  Modern  Blusterer  and  several  others  are  all 
bouffd  to  leave  tbeir  mark  on  the  breed  for  good. 

One  thing  in  breeding  which  requires  more  care 
than  anything  else  is  the  crossing  with  smooth  blood. 
Whenever  this  is  done  the  greatest  caution  ought  to 
be  exercised.  Putting  your  bitch  to  a  soft,  flannel- 
coated  Smooth,  simply  because  he  is  a  Smooth,  is,  I 
think,  worse  for  the  breed  than  if  she  visited  one  of 
the  sheep-coated  brigade. 

Of  course,  the  old  and  much  talked  of  difficulty, 
ir8ize,"  is  still  with  us.  The  dogs  of  the  present  day 
are  mostly  too  big;  the  bitches,  taken  as  a  whole,  are 
quite  correct  in  size.  We  want  a  good  little  dog. 
Here,  again,  the  owner  of  a  show  Terrier  has,  per- 
force, to  listen  to  a  lot  of  rubbish.  The  pronounce- 
ments one  hears  from  would-be  wiseacres,  great  (!) 
sportsmen  and  others  on  this  subject  of  size  are  really 
amusing.  Some  of  tbem  cannot  believe  that  an 
owner  of  a  show  Terrier  can  be  a  sportsman  himself, 
and  as  to  his  Terriers  being  game,  that,  of  course,  is 
quite  out  of  the  question.  I  have  had  the  privilege  of 
setting  more  than  one  of  these  gentry  right  on  the 
latter  point,  at  any  rate. 

"Size"  i?,  to  a  certain  extent,  a  fallacy.  Several 
believe  in  short  legs  and  go  in  (for  work)  for  a  Fox 
Terrier  built  on  the  lines  of  our  present  day  average 
Scottish  Terrier,  short  on  the  leg,  with  loaded  and 
badly  placed  shoulders  and  little  or  no  propelling 
power  behind;  but  as  long  as  he  is  short  on  the  leg 
and  close  to  the  ground  it  matters  not  to  them  what 
his  body  is  like  or  how  broad  his  chest  or  crooked  his 
legs,  he  is  the  one  to  get  there.  Is  he?  Don't  you  be- 
lieve it. 

Summing  up  the  breed  generally  and  my  impres- 
sions of  it  during  the  last  twelve  months,  I  would  say 
that  there  is  no  "flier"  to  be  seen,  either  dog  or 
bitch;  general  quality  is  higher,  however,  than  I  have 
known  it;  there  is  a  distinct  improvement  in  coat,  and 
I  think  signs  of  determination  on  the  part  of  breeders 
to  consider  much  more  seriously  than  has  previously 
been  their  want  this  all-important  factor.  I  only 
trust  this  is  so,  and  that  they  will  remember  that  (at 
the  risk  of  being  thought  importunate  I  will  again 
remind  them)  the  name  of  their  Terrier  is  Wire 
Haired  Fox  Terrier. 


here  at  the  May  show,  unless  something  serious  will 
cause  a  change  in  Mr.  Griffith's  program. 

Mrs.  A  G.  Murphy  of  Seattle  sent  her  Collie  bitch 
last  week  to  Spokane  to  be  served  by  Glen  Tana  Rip- 
powam's  Archer. 

From  constant  reports  the  stud  dogs  at  Glen  Tana 
are  receiving  the  proper  and  deserved  recognition  of 
breeders  from  all  over  the  Coast. 


DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


IRISH    WATER    SPANIEL    NOTES. 

The  high  class  biteh  Kitty  Kelly  (Ch.  Dan  Maloney- 
Dot  C.)  was  served  by  Wm.  F.  Wattson's  Ch.  Dennis 
C.  on  January  11th  and  is  due  to  whelp  March  17th — 
the  better  the  day  the  better  the  deed.  Kitty  is  pro- 
gressing nicely  and,  barring  accidents,  will  probably 
produce,  on  Erin's  notable  day,  as  fine  a  litter  of  Irish 
Water  Spaniels  as  has  been  looked  for  in  this  city  for 
some  time  pa9t. 

This  litter  should  prove  up  to  expectations.  Ch. 
Dennis  C.  has  been  the  most  perfect  specimen  of  the 
breed  ever  seen  here  and  is  a  good  worker  to  the  gun 
as  well.  We  remember  a  litter,  sired  by  him,  out  of 
Belle  Marsh  and  they  were  a  fine  lot  of  dogs  and 
bitches. 

Indications  point  to  quite  a  revival  of  the  breed  in 
this  city,  several  local  fanciers  haviDg  recently  secured 
new  stock  and  are  now  going  in  for  breeding. 


GLEN    TANA    COLLIES    WON    AGAIN. 

Just  a  whisper  from  Spokane,  but  it  tells  us  the 
old,  old  story;  The  sable  and  white  Collie  puppy  Glen 
Tana  Cracksman — a  son  of  Glen  Tana  Bounder 
annexed  the  "sp'cial  prize  for  best  in  the  show"  at 
Cbambersburg,  Pa.,  and  followed  with  the  same  win 
at  Carlisle,  Pa. — a  double  shot  as  it  were. 

Glen  Tana  Bounder  (only  Utter  biotber  of  Ch.  An- 
field  Model")  won  second  limit  and  pecond  open. 

Both  Glen  Tana  Cracksman  and  Glen  Tana  Talent 
(the  bitch  puppy  winner  at  Philadelphia)  Till  be  seen 


ENGLISH    SETTERS     FOR    VICTORIA,    B.  C. 

English  Setter  interests  will  evidently  not  be  allowed 
to  flag  among  the  British  Columbia  fanciers.  Along 
with  the  good  dogs  they  have  up  North  and  a  number 
of  classy  young  puppies  several  recent  importations 
will  go  towards  making  a  good  showing  a  better  one. 

Mallwyd  Bob  ia  the  recent  importation  by  Mr.  T. 
P.  McConnell,  secretary  of  the  Victoria  Kennel  Club, 
to  replace  bis  loss  in  Count  Rego's  death  Mallwyd 
Bob  is  a  medium  sized,  blue  ticked  dog,  without 
patches,  and  was  whelped  on  February  23.  1902.  He 
has  been  a  big  winner  in  England,  though  not  very 
extensively  shown,  and  has  already  sired  some  win- 
ners there.  He  is  by  Ch.  Rumney  Racket  out  of 
Llansfair  Lucy.  Her  breeding  is  given  as  follows: 
Sire,  Mallwyd  Don  by  Macof  Geltsdale(Ch.  Geltsdale- 
Kate)  ex  Mallwyd  Dido  (Ch.  Mallwyd  James-Mallwyd 
Beatrice);  dam,  LlaDsfair  Nancy  by  Simonian  (Ch. 
Sir  Simon-Pansy  Blossom)ex  Lassof  Llansfair(Royal 
Sam-Belle  of  Llansfair).  This  young  dog  has  twice 
defeated  the  late  Ch.  Rumney  Rock.  His  principal 
winnings  are  as  follows:  Three  firsts  and  champion- 
ship at  Manchester;  first  and  reserve  for  gold  medal 
for  best  of  any  breed  in  show  at  Otley;  first  and  spe- 
cial for  best  of  all  breeds  at  Blaumae  Festiniot;  first 
at  Birmingham  and  Birkenhead.  Among  the  good 
youngsters  sired  by  him  is  Broomhill  Bob,  a  big  win- 
ner, and  several  other  wirners  at  the  late  Birming- 
ham and  Crystal  Palace  shows.  Besides  being  so  well 
bred  and  a  good  individual,  Mallwyd  Bob  is  a  thor- 
oughly broken  shooting  dog,  and,  as  Mr.  McConnell 
makes  practical  use  in  the  field  of  all  his  winners, 
Mallwyd  Bob  will  have  to  make  himself  useful  as  well 
as  ornamental.  The  price  of  this  dog,  is  is  said,  runs 
well  up  in  three  figures. 

Another  expected  Setter  arrival  in  Victoria  is  a 
blue  ticked  and  tan  bitch  by  Sir  Terris  ex  Foil  O'Leck. 
Sir  Terris  is  litter  brother  to  Ch,  Barton  Tory,  whose 
breeding  is  well  known.  Foil  O'Leck  is  by  Ch. 
Heather  John  ex  Ch.  Mallwyd  Flo.  It  cannot  be 
denied  thai  this  young  bitch  is  elegantly  bred,  and, 
while  she  is  imported  principally  for  breeding  pur- 
poses, it  is  not  unlikely  that  she  will  be  seen  on  the 
bench  this  spring. 

EXPERT     TESTIMONY     THAT     FAILED. 

A  ludicrous  incident  occurred  in  one  of  the  local 
police  courts  one  day  this  week  during  the  trial  of  a 
case  arising  over  the  disputed  ownership  of  a  Cocker 
Spaniel. 

The  contending  claimant,  one  Charles  Reitzke,  a 
barber,  brought  the  case  on  appeal  from  a  justice's 
court  before  the  police  tribunal  presided  over  by 
Judge  Graham.  The  caBe  had  been  decided  in  favor 
of  Dr.  C.  G.  Kenyon  a  prominent  physician  and 
surgeon  of  this  city. 

Notwithstanding  the  first  ad  judication  of  the  matter 
the  barber  had  been  endeavoring  for  quite  a  period  to 
upset  the  verdict  against  him  and  came  into  the 
police  court  with  a  number  of  witnesses,  among  them 
a  pudgy,  red-faced  person  who  bas  posed  as  a  pro- 
fessional trainer  of  Grej  bounds  and  also  as  a  general 
dog  handler.  This  individual,  bj  the  way,  has  upon 
several  occasions  been  disciplined  by  kennel  and  cours- 
ing club  officials  for  infractions  of  the  rules. 

The  comedy  part  of  the  proceedings  transpired 
when  expert  testimony  was  introduced  to  prove  that 
the  dog  was  practically  a  canine  idiot.  This  attempt 
according  to  the  Chronicle  was  made  when  "John 
Bradshaw,  an  expert,  testified  on  Rietzke's  behalf 
that  Cocker  Spaniels  did  not  have  much  brains  and 
could  not  be  relied  on  to  know  their  owner,  but  the 
jury  did  not  accept  this  theory." 

At  tho  request  of  a  juror  Mi=s  Lydia  Daggert  took 
the  stand  and  called  "Here,  Fritzie,  Fritzie!" 

The  dog,  freed  from  the  chain  with  which  Rietzke 
had  held  it,  heard  the  call  and  ran  around  the  court- 
room. The  Rietzke  family  insisted  that  the  animal's 
right  name  was  Mascotte,  which  they  conferred  on  it 
in  infancy,  but  it  responded  immediately  when  Miss 
Daggert  uttered  the  title  which  the  Kenyons  declared 
they  gave  it  when  a  pup. 

"Fritzie,  Fritzie!"  she  called  again,  while  the  dog 
was  trying  to  locate  ber  in  the  crowded  room,  and 
then  it  made  a  dash  for  her,  hopped  upon  the  stand 
and  was  soon  on  her  lap. 

The  dog's  partiality  for  the  Kenyons.  when  let  loose, 
even  after  being  kept  for  a  long  period  by  theRietzkee, 
made  the  alleged  expert's  testimony  appear  ridiculoub 
and  caused  the  jury  to  decide,  soon  after  the  sub- 
mission of  the  case,  that  its  name  was  Fritz  and  that 
Dr.  Kenyon  was  the  owner. 

The  assertion  that  Cocker  Spaniels  are  devoid  of 
intelligence  and  unreliablein  rememberirgtheidentity 
of  the  master  or  mistress  is  a  comically  preposterous 
assertion  to  come  from  a  person  who  has  posed  as  a 
doggy  wiseacre.  Under  some  circumstances  the  integ- 
rity of  such  testimony  might  be  the  subject  of  further 
investigation. 

This  reminds  us  that  the  fallow  "who  lives  in  a  glass 
house  should  not  throw  stones."  Vulgar  detraction 
directed  at  others  is  not  infrequently  nothing  more 
than  billingsgate  used  for  the  purpose  of  diverting 
observation  from  homebred  shortcomings. 


CONDITIONING    HINTS. 

The   following    should    be  of  interest    to    budding 
fanciers,  and  also  act  as  a  gentle  reminder   to  exhibi- 
tors of  more  mature  experience.    Our  Dogs  writes: 
"The   way  to  make  a  dog  look  his  best  is  to  aim   at 
keeping  him   in   good    condition   by   careful   dietiDg, 
and  particularly  by  regular  exercise.     Do  not  I 
feet  idle  and  lazy,  but  keep  them  well  amused,  so  th 
they  are  always  on  the  alert,  with   good  appetii 
ways  ready  for  their  meals.    Under  these   cor

their  health  should  always  be  good.  It  is  most  im- 
portant that  a  dog  whioh  is  about  to  be  exhibited 
should  be  free  from  worms.  These  pests  should  be 
sought  after  a  month  or  sis  weeks  before  the  show 
comes  on,  because  of  course,  the  drastic  treatment 
that  has  had  to  be  resorted  to  will  tend  to  reduce  the 
do°-  in  condition.  Let  him  have  two  or  three  good 
dosings,  so  that  it  is  perfectly  obvious  that  it  is  entire- 
ly free  from  them,  and  all  that  is  needed  afterwards 
is  an  occassional  mild  aperient  pill,  just  to  keep  the 
pests  from  getting  a  lodgment  again.  There  is  always 
a  certain  amount  of  risk  in  sending  a  dog  to  a  show, 
for  he  so  often  brings  home  different  contagious  dis- 
eases. Distemper  is  often  introduced  into  a  kennel  of 
dogB  through  this  very  agency.  There  is  really  no 
way  of  making  a  dog  proof  against  distemper;  if  he 
has  once  had  it,  in  all  probability  he  will  not  have  it 
again,  but  it  is  not  impossible  for  a  dog  to  suffer  from 
distemper  twice.  All  that  can  be  dooe  is  to  see  that 
the  dog  is  in  perfect  health  wnen  sent  away,  for,  as  is 
well-known,  ail  disease  germs  require  suitable  grouDd 
as  it  were,  in  which  to  develop,  and  they  are  not  so 
likely  to  develop  with  a  healthy  dog  as  one  that  is 
ailing.  Of  course,  very  stringent  rules  are  laid  down 
at  shows,  and  all  dogs  are  examined  before  they  are 
admitted;  this  has  done  a  great  deal  toward  lessening 
the  risk  of  contracting  disease,  but  it  is  almost  impos- 
sible to  do  away  with  it  entirely." 

CALIFORNIA    W.    K.    i.     CLUBS. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Directors  of  the  Santa  Clara 
County  Kennel  Club  held  on  the  22d  inst.  the  follow- 
ing resolution  was  adopted: 

Whereas,  a  committee  of  the  Western  Kennel 
League  was  appointed  by  the  president,  at  a  special 
meeting  of  the  league  held  at  Portland  on  January 
14th,  to  deal  with  the  A.  K.  C.  regarding  the  con- 
cessions made  by  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board;  and 

Whereas,  said  committee  has  neither  met  nor  signi- 
fied its  intention  of  meeting  to  attend  to  the  business 
for  which  it  was  created;  therefore  be  it 

Besolved,  that  the  secretary  of  the  Santa  Clara 
County  Kennel  Club  be  and  is  directed  to  issue  an  in- 
vitation to  all  W.  K.  L.  clubs  in  California  to  send  a 
delegate  to  a  meeting  to  be  held  at  such  time  and 
place  as  may  be  suitable  to  said  delegates  to  decide 
what  action  shall  be  taken  by  the  California  clubs. 

POINTER    NOTES    FltOM    BAKEESMELD. 

A  communication  from  Manager  R.  M.  Dodge  of 
Stockdale  Kennels  states:  Birds  are  beginning  to  pair 
off,  consequently  our  work  afield  is  over  until  next 
October.  We  have  had  two  new  litters  of  young 
Pointers  in  the  last  few  days.  Ivywood  whelped  four 
(3  dog6)  by  Oak  Knoll,  the  other  litter  was  by  Bolin's 
Duke  out  of  Elsie  nine  puppies  (3  dogs).  Ivywood  was 
bred  when  she  was  nearly  over  and  Elsie  was  served 
early.  Petronella  has  just  been  served,  as  late  as 
possible,  so  we  will  watch  ana  see  what  the  outcome 
will  be  as  to  preponderance  of  sex  in  the  litter.  I 
usually  do  this  and  havenoted  more  dogs  than  bitches 
In  litters,  nevertheless,  I  have  been  skeptical  on  the 
theory  in  this  respect. 

I  am  very  sorry  to  report  the  loss  of  two  of  our  best 
young  dogs,  Cottonwood  and  Bobwhite.  Bob  fell  out 
of  my  hunting  rig,  was  struck  by  the  wheel  and  im- 
mediately killed.  Cottonwood's  death  is  unaccount- 
able to  me.  These  are  the  first  losses  we  have  had 
since  good  old  Sam's  Bow  died. 

We  have  been  eojoying  a  grand  Spring,  if  the  *ains 
continue  there  will  6urely  be  a  big  crop  of  young  birds 
this  season.     I  expect  to  attend  the  May  bench  show. 

COAST     DOGS    WON    EAST. 

A  brief  summary  of  the  New  York  show  appears  in 
our  Boston  exchange,  Stork- Keeper  this  week.  Among 
other  good  tilings  we  note  with  a  feeling  of  satisfac- 
tion that  a  Caast  bred  dog,  Wandee  Knight,  won  first 
place  in  the  Breeders'  class.  This  we  regard  as  the 
best  win  in  the  show.  The  long  purse  can  get  almost 
any  good  dog,  but  to  breed  a  crack  is  the  true  fancier 
and  sportsman's  ambition.  Mr.  Harley  is  to  be  con- 
gratulated on  his  success.  Knight  also  took  first  in 
the  variety  class,  another  big  win.  In  the  champion 
class  Ch.  W.  Lucretia  took  second  to  the  Airedale 
Ch.  York  Sceptre.  Her  win  is  also  a  great  one. 
George  Raper  gave  these  awards. 

Mr.  Maxwell  placed  Ch.  W.  Coastguard  second  to 
Selwonk  Topper  a  dog  he  bad  previously  beaten. 
Sabine  Ruler  went  down  before  Wandee  Knight  and 
Wandee  Doris — (Ridgewood  Doris)  took  winners  and 
was  a  decided  feature  of  the  Bhow.  Lucretia  and 
Manilla  were  one  two  winners  in  wires. 


A    SCHOOL    FOR    DOGS. 

It  has  been  stated  that  a  school  for  the  polite  edu- 
cation of  the  dog  has  been  opened  in  Paris  A  some- 
what farcial  idea  seemingly  on  the  first  blush  of  the 
thing;  still,  after  due  consideration,  it  does  not  ap- 
pear quite  ao  nonsensical  as  most  people  will  imagine. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  average  dog  kept  as  a  com- 
panion requires  a  good  deal  of  education — training,  if 
you  like  to  call  it  by  the  ordinary  name — before  be- 
ooming  the  respectable  and  sensible  member  of  his 
race  tha;  he  ought  to  be;  and  if  such  an  establish- 
ment hasactually  been  formed  in  the  French  metropo- 
lis, there  is  little  doubt  similar  establishments  will 
appear  in  other  cities  before  long.  The  average  home- 
kept  dog  is  seldom  made  thoroughly  obedient  and 
companionable.  The  usual  owner  is  satisfied  so  long 
as  his  favorite  will  fawn  on  him,  lick  his  hands,  often 
his  face,  and  accompany  him  during  his  rambles.  He 
does  not  care  one  iota  whether  it  barks  at  the  mail- 
carrier  and  snarls  as  it  shows  its  teeth  at  the  police- 
man on  his  beat.  In  fact,  the  owner  sometimes  rather 
likes  his  dog  to  do  such  things,  because  he  considers 
it  a  sign  of  fondness  for  himself  and  his  household. 
Thus  vhen  it  rushes  after  some  unfortunate  cyclist, 
or  horse  and  buggy,  or  an  equestrian,  the  Collie  or 
Terr'ar.  or  whatever  breed  it  may  be,  is  not  chided 
mischievous  and  dangerous  a  practice,  but  rather 

;  l  aised  for  a  pleasant  display  of  exuberance  of 
•5.    All  dogs  should  be  educated  to  walk  at  th» 


heels  of  their  master  or  mistress,  as  the  case  may  be, 
and  ought  to  be  educated  into  answering  a  call  or 
whistle  promptly  and  with  great  expedition.  A  word 
of  warning  must  stop  the  barking  dog,  and  astern 
order  should  prevent  it  seizing  the  cilf  of  the  way- 
farer's leg.  A  dog  may  bark  to  a  certain  extent 
within  the  curtilage  of  the  master'6  residence,  where 
it  can,  at  the  same  time,  keep  guard  and  turn  tres- 
passers away,  but  even  here  its  bite  is  dangerous,  and 
may  turn  out  to  be  expensive.  Few  people  appear  to 
be  able  to  manage  their  house  dogs  properly,  and 
when  unmanageable,  the  latter  are  a  nuisance,  and  a 
danger  to  society.  There  are  trainers  and  breakers 
of  dogs  which  are  bred  for  the  field;  the  shepherd 
educates  his  Collie  as  the  drover  does  the  animal 
which  assists  him  with  his  cattle.  Dogs  as  companions 
equally  require  training  to  see  the  best  of  them;  stiil 
how  few  are  to  be  found  that  will  hurry  up  to  heel, 
and  keep  there  at  the  beck  and  call  of  an  owner! 
There  is  no  reason  to  doubt  that  a  school  for  the 
proper  education  of  the  dog  as  a  household  compan- 
ion and  guard  would  be  probably  a  success,  especially 
if  the  charges  for  such  tuition  were  fair.  Cleanliness 
in  the  house  and  obedience  are  the  chief  essentials  re- 
quired in  a  dog  for  the  domicile,  and  given  these,  and 
an  average  amount  of  sense,  any  dog  ought  to  satisfy 
its  owner,  make  him  comfortable,  so  far  as  burglars 
or  trespassers  are  concerned,  and  not  be  an 
annoyance  and  trouble  to  him  when  out  of  doors. 
Occasionally  a  fool  of  a  dog  may  be  found,  as  is  the 
case  in  humanity  itself,  which  will  not  be  amenable  to 
mild  discipline.  Such  may  be  given  by  its  owner  to 
his  greatest  enemy,  or,  if  he  have  not  one,  be  allowed 
to  perish  in  the  water  barrel  or  bv  other  pleasanter 
methods.  But  an  animal  of  this  nature  is  the  excep- 
tion, and  where  the  house  dog  is  a  trouble  to  its 
master  and  a  nuisance  to  his  neighbors,  in  nine  cases 
out  of  ten  it  is  owing  to  lack  of  training  or  education; 
hence  an  establishment  where  the  latter  could  be 
properly  carried  out  would  be  welcomed  as  a  useful 
institution. 

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  annual  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trap 
Shooting  Association  will  take  place  this  evening  at 
No.  8  O'Farrell  street.  The  dates  fixed  for  the  asso- 
ciation tournament  are  May  28,  29  and  30,  there  is  a 
strong  possibility  that  the  shoot  will  take  place  at 
Ingleside. 

If  the  attendance  and  enthusiasm  manifested  by 
shooters  last  Wednesday  is  any  criterion,  the  local 
blue  rock  season  this  year  promises  to  be  a  lively  one, 
thus  early  in  the  season  for  fifty  shooters  to  gather  at 
the  Ingleside  grounds  is  indeed  a  good  augury. 
Among  the  shooters  participating  were  a  number  of 
visitiDg  sportsmen  from  interior  points:  W  H.  Varien, 
the  Pacific  Grove  "pump  gun"  artist;  Ed  Leavell  of 
Giant;  Messrs.  Green  and  Whelan  of  Monterey;  C.  F. 
Fish  of  Martinez;Geo.  Cadwallader  of  San  Jose,  whose 
re-appearance  at  a  trap  shoot  was  a  reminder  of  old 
times  when  his  performances  were  watched  as  closely 
as  are  now  Nauman's,  Webb's,  Peudner's,  Haight's, 
Reed's  and  other  cracks;  Frank  Carter  of  Denver;  G. 
E.  Grief  of  New  York  and  others. 

Weather  conditions  were  almost  ideal,  seven  events 
were  shot  up,  scores  were  unusually  sood,  tbe  four 
hieh  averages  were:  W.  H.  Varien  93%,  R.  C.  Reed 
92%,  Emil  Holling  91%  and  W.  J.  Golcher  90%.  A 
summary  of  scores  is  as  follows:

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


SPORT    WITH    GUN    AND    RIFLE. 

The  duck  and  quail  season  closed  on  the  15th  inst.; 
but,  notwithstanding,  many  sportsmen  are  still  loth 
to  put  away  their  favorite  hammerless  shotguns  until 
the  trap  season  Is  in  full  swing  or,  later  still,  tbe  open- 
ing of  the  dove  season  in  July  tempts  turning  again 
to  diversion  with  the  gun. 

The  available  supply  of  sporting  material  now  left 


unprotected  by  law  is  not  very  extensive,  nor  does  it 
afford  a  very  broad  field  for  the  exercise  of  one's  skill 
with  the  gun;  but,  such  as  it  is,  there  is  plenty  of  it 
to  be  had  in  Solano,  Glenn  and  Colusa  counties  where 
the  "goose  hunks  high.'' 

Reports  from  the  Suisun  plains  and  the  grain  field 
districts  are  that  geese  are  plentiful.  As  to  their 
table  qualities  the  matter  is  a  debatable  one,  for  at 
this  season  of  the  year  the  birds  devote  themselves  to 
a  vegetable  diet  that  does  not  improve  the  flavor  of 
the  meat.  Several  varieties,  honkers,  brant,  gray 
and  Canada  geese  make  up  the  ensemble  of  cackling 
migrants  that  are  so  numerous  as  to  do  serious  dam- 
age to  the  farmers' crops.  The  birds  will  bt  avail- 
able for  hunting  parties  until  about  the  middle  of 
April,  at  which  lime  they  get  together  and  start  for 
the  northern  breeding  grounds;  by  the  end  of  the 
month  none  are  left  save  the  cripples  and  a  few  sick 
birds. 

Other  sport  may  be  had  in  the  hills  where  the 
cotton  tails  and  brush  rabbits  are  ripe.  There  is  also 
some  prospect  of  a  shoot  on  English  snipe— and  a 
pity,  too.  it  is,  wherever  black  bog  mud  can  be  found 
in  the  pastures.  Since  the  recent  rains  this  sticky 
commodity  can  be  located  without  much  trouble. 

Being  out  with  one's  gun  it  takes  a  man  of  more 
than  ordinary  strength  of  mind  to  resist  the  tempta- 
tion of  a  bunch  of  teal  or  brace  of  sprig  rising  from  a 
shallow  pond  or  whirring  up  from  out  of  a  narrow 
ditch  crossed  while  snipe  hunting.  The  chances  for  a 
snappy  double  is  too  tempting  for  many  and  the  only 
safe  method  for  some  is  to  keep  out  of  harm's  way 
entirely,  but  as  it  is,  the  level  headed  sportsman 
might  do  far  worse  than  waste  a  Sunday  tramping 
over  bits  of  a  favorite  snipe  patch  that  he  prospected 
in  other  days.  The  gradual  draining  of  the  country  by 
ditches  and  cultivation  of  the  ground  combined  has 
done  more  to  decrease  the  visits  of  the  longbills  to 
hunting  ground  within  comparatively  easy  access  of 
of  local  sportsmen,  than  any  amount  of  shooting  has 
accomplished. 

The  soakings  that  the  country  has  received  in  the 
past  few  weeks  will  do  something  towards  creating 
favorable  conditions  and  the  warm  days  during  the 
past  week  are  likely  to  induce  snipe  to  stay  over  a  few 
days  and  nights  in  the  vicinity  of  the  bay  counties. 
Many  of  the  gun  club  preserves  contain  the  right 
sort  of  bog  for  snipe  feeding  and  not  a  few  of  the 
members  have  planned  for  a  raid  or  two  on  the  cork- 
screw individuals  whose  presence  has  been  disclosed 
by  '  chalkings"  and  bill  borings  in  quest  of  worms. 

As  for  cottontails,  tbe  new  grass  crop  on  the  hills 
has  settled  the  "grub"  question  out  of  band  for  Brer 
Rabbit  and  f6w  hunters  that  have  sought  him  lately 
have  failed  in  their  efforts. 

More  and  more  are  sportsmen  every  year  laying 
aside  the  shotgun  for  the  22-cahber  rifle  in  the  pur- 
suit of  rabbits.  In  the  hand9  of  an  expert,  these 
little  guns  are  deadly;  they  are  in  no  Bense  toys  but 
workmanlike,  effective  tools  of  wonderful  accuracy 
and  considerably  greater  range  than  the  uninitiated 
might  suppose.  Using  the  smokeless,  greaseless  am- 
munition, one  can  shoot  a  thousand  shots  without 
cleaning  the  bore  of  the  rifle,  and  the  last  bullet  will 
go  as  truly  as  the  first.  This  is  an  advantage  that 
will  readily  be  appreciated  by  any  who  have  carried 
cleaning  rods  about  all  day,  losing  and  finding  them 
perhaps  a  dozen  times  in  the  brush. 

For  rabbit  shooting  the  small-bore  rifle  is  tbe  art- 
ist's choice.  It  does  its  work  cleanly;  the  little  bullet 
scores  a  swift  kill  and  spoils  no  meat.  There  are  no 
shot  through  the  intestines,  and  the  little  animal 
when  skinned  is  thoroughly  fit  for  food.  Right  below 
the  ears  is  the  spot  to  hold  for;  the  eye  makes  a  good 
mark  when  it  can  be  seen,  but  almost  anywhere  above 
the  shoulders  will  do  for  Bunny  if  he  does  not  happen 
to  be  facing  just  right. 

Very  pretty  sport  may  be  had  by  walking  out  on  a 
rabbit  warren  in  the  late  afternoon,  jumping  the  little 
animals  and  following  them  to  earth.  Almost  inva- 
riably a  pair  of  ears,  then  a  head  will  pop  up  to  watch 
the  visitor,  and  it  is  then  that  a  well-placed  bullet 
resurrectB  the  material  for  better  stew  than  any 
spring  chicken  ever  made. 

Squirrel  shooting  is  not  as  much  of  a  success  now  as 
it  will  be  a  few  months  later  on  when  the  grass  is  not 
so  high.  At  present  it  is  often  hard  to  see  the  little 
rodents,  though  they  have  not  the  slightest  difficulty 
in  keeping  posted  on  the  hunter's  movements.  The 
young  squirrels  are  very  fat  now  and  quite  good 
enough  eating  for  anyone,  notwithstanding  a  popular 
prejudice  against  th?m — due  probably  to  the  same 
reason  that  causes  some  saltwater  fishermen  to  throw 
away  shiners,  a  toothsome  pan-fish — namely,  their 
commonness.  Hunters  and  fishers,  like  some  other 
people,  do  not  seem  to  care  much  for  what  they  can 

get  easily.

Another   Runaway  Race. 

The  Grand  Canadian  Hauaicap,  the  shooting  event 
of  the  year  in  the  Dominion,  was  won  by  Winchester 
"Leader"  shells.  At  Hamilton,  Ont.,  January  20tb, 
1905,  Mr.  A.  S.  lolsma,  shooting  from  the  30  yard 
mark,  outshot  a  field  of  49  Canadian  and  American 
crack  shots  and  won  the  important  Grand  Canadian 
Handicap  Cup  killing  20  live  birds  straight  under  the 
adverse  weather  conditions.  Mr.  Tolsma  shot  the 
Winchester  '  Leader"  shell,  the  shell  he  always 
6hoots.  The  high  average  for  the  tournament  on  fly- 
ing targets  was  captured  by  Mr.  J.  A.  Elliot,  with  a 
Winchester  "pump"  gun  and  Winchester  "Leader" 
shells.  Score  385  out  of  480,  shooting  at  19  to  22 
yardB  sliding  handicap.  The  Sunny  South  Handicap 
held  at  Brenham,  Texas,  January  27th:  W.  R. 
(Billy)  Crosby  captured'the  Sunny  South  Handicap 
with  the  score  of  94  out  of  100  targets  from  the  22 
yard  maik  and  with  Winchester  "Leader"  shells. 
The  Central  TexaB  Handicap,  held  at  Taylor,  Texas 
January  28th:  J.  A  Jackson  captured  the  big  State 
event  from  a  strong  field  with  the  score  of  19  out  of  20 
live  birds  shooting  from  the  29  yard  mark,  and  using 
Winchester  '  Leader"  shells.  From  Canada  to  Texas 
Winchester  shells  are  the  ones  that  are  winning,  so  it 
is  no  wonder  that  they  continue  to  make  a  runaway 
race  just  as  they  did  in  1904. 


February  25,  1905] 

Buying  a  Horse. 

There  are  said  to  be  tricks  in   the  horse-dealing 
business,   but   whether    that    be   true   or   not,  it   is 
certainly  important   for   the   would-be  purchaser  to 
understand  what  he  wants,  what  the  work  to  be  done 
requires,  and  what  constitute'  a  sound,  serviceable, 
horse   for   the   place  to  be  filled,   writes  Dr.    A.   A. 
Alexander  of  the  Wisconsin  Experiment  Station.      It 
is  also  absolutely  necessary    to  consider  every   horse 
unsound,  until  proved  to  the  contrary,  no  matter  from 
whom  he  is  to  be  purchased.     Friends  and   relatives, 
when  it  comes  to  a   horse  deal,  are  to   be  considered 
the  same  as  strangers  until  the  business  has  been 
completed.    Even  the  deacon  is  not  to  be  given  any 
credit  unless  the  horse  he  has  to  sell  corroborates  in 
appearance  and  performance  the  qualities   he  claims 
for  him.     There  is  to  be  no  sentiment  in  the  matter — 
simply  business  sense.     For  the  above   reasons,  when 
the  neighbor  has  a  horse  for  sale,  and  our  reader  goes 
to  inspect   the    animal,    he  should    go    unawares,  if 
possible,  and  see  the  horse,  first  in  the  stall,  and  after- 
wards in  action.     This  is  necessary  for  the  reason  that 
when  a  horse  is  at  rest  in   his   stall  some  things   will 
show  up  that  would  disappear  when  he  is  trotted,  or 
be  over-looked  were  he  first  seen   out   of   doors.     For 
instance,  when  looking  at  a   horse  in   his  stall  the 
tanks  should   be  watched   for  abdominal   breathing, 
indictting  "heaves" — a  trouble  often  temporarily  re- 
lieved by  drugs  when  the  visit  of  the  intending   pur- 
chaser has  been  anticipated,  and  at  the  same   time  a 
glance  will  show  whether  a   strap  is  buckled   tightly 
around  the  neck  back  of  the  ears,  indicating  that  the 
horse  is  a  "wind-sucker."      We  next  step   up  beBide 
the  horse  and  examine  the  manger,  which   is  always 
chewed  a  great  deal  if  the  animal  is  a  "cribber, "  and, 
finding  such  evidence,  it  is  but   a   moment's  work    to 
open  the  mouth  and  find  if  the  incisor  teeth  corrobo- 
rate the  suspicion.  Next  the  horse  is  made  to  "stand 
over"  in  his  stall.  If  he  has  a  spavin  and  is  lame  from 
it  he  will  jerk  the  affectei  lpg  as  be  steps,  and  this  may 


also  be  done  as  an  evidence  of  "chorea"  (shivers  or 
crampiness).  The  latter  disease,  which  is  incurable, 
is  still  better  seen  as  the  animal  is  made  to  back  out 
of  the  stall.  For  the  first  few  steps  the  hind  legs  will 
be  jerked  higher  than  normal,  but  when  he  is  trotted, 
or  even  walked,  there  may  not  be  a  trace  of  this  un- 
soundness to  be  seen,  except,  possibly,  when  he  ib 
suddenly  turned.  After  the  "at  rest"  examination 
he  should  be  placed  on  a  level  floor.  Watch  him  for 
a  few  minutes,  and  if  he  is  sore-footed,  the  foot  that 
causes  pain  will  be  stuck  out  in  front  of  him,  or  the 
hind  feet  will  be  eased  turnabout  persistently. 

Walk  around    him  and    form   a  general  idea  of  his 
shape  and  quality  and   suitability  in  size,  weight  and 
bone.    If   all  of  these    things  are  satisfactory   next 
have  him  walked  and  trotted,  and  note  his  gait,  with 
any   departures    from   normal,   free,  open  or  sound 
action.    If  he  stands  these  tests,  the  serious  examina- 
tion commences,  and  this  must  be  a  most  critical   one 
if  the  price  asked  indicates  a  valuable  animal  and  abso- 
lutely sound.    If  a  cheap   horse,  and   only  sold  "ser- 
viceably  sound,"  the  examination  need   only  he  for 
wind  and  lameness,  and   then   a  search   for  anything 
that  will  be  likely   to   make   him   useless,  either  tem- 
porarily, during  busy  seasons,  or  permanently,  at  once, 
or  in  the  near  future.     Commence  at  the  head  and  ex- 
amine the  teeth  for  age;  parrot  mouth,  which  makes 
a  horse  unable   to   graze;  diseased    molars,  which  are 
indicated  by  foul  odor;  discharge  from   the  nostrils  or 
a  wad  of  food  in  the  cheek;  injured   bars   where  the 
bit  presses  on  the  floor  of  the  mouth;  lacerated  tongue 
or  ulcsrated  tongue  or  gums.      Glance  at  the  nostrils 
for  discharge,  red   spots,  ulcers  or  tumors  in  the  false 
nostril.     Now   test   the  Bight  by   slightly  lifting  the 
hand   as  if  to  strike  the  eye,  which   will  make  him 
wink  if  he  can  see.       Look   at  the  eye  and  the  lids. 
Where  a  horse  has  had  several  attacks    of   periodic 
opthalmia  (moon  blindness)  the  lids   will  be  wrinkled 
and  a  bluish  tinge  appear  over  the  eye,  or  irregularity 
of  the  contour  of  the  cornea,  while   white  spots   may 
tell  of  a  cataract  or  merely  of  injuries  that  have  not 


11 


affected  the  eye  sight.  Examine  the  bones  of  the  low- 
er jaw  for  departures  from  normal,  also  those  of  the 
face  under  the  eyes  for  enlargements,  possibly  show- 
ing disease  of  molar  teeth  or  chronic  catarrh.  Ab- 
cesses  under  the  jaw  will  be  easily  found  if  present, 
and  indicate  "strangles"  in  quite  young  horses,  but 
are  suspicious  in  old  ones,  indicating  diseased  molar 
teeth,  and  possibly  something  worse.  The  hand  is 
run  over  the  poll,  where  "poll  evil"  is  located;  under 
the  mane  for  skin  disease;  along  the  jugular  groove 
and  at  the  throat  latch  for  abnormalties.  Then  the 
withers  are  examined  for  "fistula"  or  sores,  and  the 
shoulder  for  sweeny,  collar  boils,  or  fibroid  tumors, 
and  the  elbow  for  "shoe  boil."  The  fore-limb  is  next 
examined  carefully  for  broken  knees,  splints,  bowed 
tendons,  grease  or  scratches,  and  any  other  things 
that  depart  from  sound  coudition. 

The  foot  has  to  be  examined  very  carefully  for  de- 
partures from   good    shape,   founder,  thrush,  quarter 
cracks,  quittor,  sand  crack,  ringbones,  sidebones  and 
nail  prick   and   stone   bruise.     Never  accept  a  horse 
with   leather  sole  on  foot.     Have  him  unshod  before 
deciding  that   there  is  nothing  wrong.     This  applies 
to    fore  and    hind    feet,  and,  as  a  general   rule,  it  is 
safest  to  have  the  shoes  removed  where  the  horse  is 
valuable.     The  body  is  next  looked  over  carefully  for 
ruptures,   sore  back,   weak  back,   sagged   back  and 
washy  coupling.     The   state  of  the  scrotum  is  to  be 
looked  to  in  geldings,  and   the  udder  in   mares.     Lift 
the  tail  to  see  if  it  is  strong  not  false  and  not  newly 
docked   or  the   vulva    affected   in    mares.      Paraly. 
sis  of   the  anus  is   not   uncommon,  and  lacerations  of 
the  perineum  in   mares  constitute  a  "gill  flirt."    The 
hind  limb   is  next  to  be  gone  over  for  unsoundness 
similar  to  those  in   the  fore  limb,  including  spavin, 
ringbone,  thoroughpin,  etc.,  while  the  stifle  will  come' 
•  in  for  a  careful  look  and   the  contour  of  the  hips  be 
noted  for  the  injury  to  the  points  of  the  illium  caused 
by  running  in  at  a  narrow  door.     Next   test   the  ani- 
mal thoroughly  for  wind,  and  the  work  will  be  fairly 
complete.     Inconclusion.it   may    be  added  that  each 
limb  must  be  examined  in  succession  asaboveadvi6ed. 


THE   FARM. 


Practical  Dairy  Suggestions. 

I  am  asked  if  it  is  advisable  to  purchase 
a  separator  to  separate  the  milk  on  the 
farm  and  take  the  cream  to  the  creamery 
rather  than  the  milk.  Some  creameries 
object  to  this,  but  many  other  creameries 
urge  their  patrons  very  strongly  in  this 
course.  There  are  some  advantages  to 
the  farmer  The  chief  one  is  the  quality 
of  skim  milk,  it  is  not  watered,  it  does 
not  carry  disease  germs  from  other  herdB, 
it  can  be  fed  an  hour  or  so  after  it  is 
drawn  and  is  in  the  best  possible  feeding 
condition,  not  being  contaminated  by 
the  average  creamery  skim  milk  vat. 
The  bulk  that  haB  to  be  handled,  cared 
for  and  taken  to  the  creamery  is  reduced 
85  per  cent.  The  separator  removes  many 
bacteria,  and  if  the  cream  is  cooled  down 
to  40  degreeB  or  below  it  will  keep  in  a 
better  condition  longer  than  milk,  saving

some  trips  to  the  creamery  where  a  man 
has  to  haul  it  himself. 

The  churning  temperature  can  only  be 
determined  by  trial  and  careful  observa- 
tion. It  may  vary  from  52  to  64  degrees. 
The  nature  of  the  milk,  the  size  of  the 
>utter  globules,  the  feed  the  cows  eat  and 
many  other  factors  will  determine  the 
churning  temperature.  Ripen  the  cream 
properly  and  try  say,  56  degrees.  The 
butter  should  not  come  in  leBS  than  30  to 
45  minutes'  churning,  and  when  it  comes 
the  granules  should  be  fairly  firm,  so  they 
will  not  readily  coalesce  or  smash  together. 
If  the  temperature  is  too  high,  the  little 
granules  will  not  keep  their  shape,  and  it 
is  impossible  to  wash  out  the  buttermilk, 
and  in  our  attempt  to  work  it  out  we  ruin 
the  grain  of  the  butter  and  the  butter  will 
retain  too  large  a  per  cent  of  moisture 
and  will  go  off  flavor  quietly.  It  ia  gen- 
erally a  good  rule  to  churn  at  as  low  a 
temperature  as  is  possible  to  get  the  butter 
within  one  hour's  churning  where  the 
churn  is  not  over-filled. 

The  dairy  cow  to  make  us  a  profit  muBt 
he  housed  in  a  camfortable  stable  these 
cold  and  wintry  days;  thus  we  admon- 
ished at  an  institute  a  few  days  ago. 
"But,"  said  a  practical  farmer,  "with 
feeds  so  high  and  dairy  products  80  low, 
we  cannot  afford  the  expense  of  building 
such  stables  as  the  speaker  advises;  our 
income  does  not  warrant  such  an  outlay." 
Then  another  practical  farmer  spoke 
thus:  "I  know  my  cowb  were  very  un- 
comfortable and  I  was  uncomfortable 
milking  and  doing  the  chores.  While  the 
weatherboarding  acted  as  a  windbreak, 
the  temperature  on  the  inside  of  the 
stable  waB  nearly  as  low  as  on  the  out" 
side,  and  I  knew  it  was  unprofitable,  but 
I  began  to  feel  that  it  was  inhuman.  I 
collected  old  newspapers  (they  were 
plenty  after  the  campaign)  and  pretty 
heavily  covered  the  entire  inside,  and 
over  all  this  I  put  some  heavy  hardware 
paper  that  cost  but  little.  Next  I  went 
to  the  sawmill  and  purchased  some  waste 
boards  very  cheaply  and  boarded  up  the 
entire  inside  of  tne  stable.  Now  the 
stable  is  perfectly  comfortable,  the  cows 
eat  less  and  give  more  milk,  and  while  I 
keep  no  particular  account,  I  know  those 
cows  have  already  paid  all  I  invested  in 
the  extra  milk  produced,  and  on  Sunday 
morning  when  I  go  to  church  there  is 
just  alittleless  weighton  my  conscience." 


During  all  this  time  we  kept  our  mouth 
shut  and  the  audience  learned  a  lesson 
from  a  neighbor  that  may  be  more  con- 
vincing than  an  hour's  speech.  — L.  W.

Dairy  Notes. 


A  stunted  calf  is  an  unprofitable  piece 
of  property. 

Scald  with  water  boiling  hot  all  vessels 
used  for  milk. 

The  good  dairy  cow  is  not  always  the 
fat  and  sleek  one. 

The  calves  should  have  flaxseed  jelly 
with  a  little  wheat  bran  every  day. 

No  cow  can  be  brought  to  maturity  at 
two  yearB  old  that  is  neglected  as  a 
calf. 

The  food  for  cows  should  be  of  such  a 
nature  that  no  bad  taste  will  be  imparted 
to  the  milk. 

It  is  believed  that  a  cow  will  give  more 
milk  for  a  milker  she  likes  than  for  one 
she  does  not  like. 

One  good  dairy  cow  is  superior  to  three 
poor  cows  in  the  dairy.  The  difference  is 
in  the  cost  of  feed. 

Young  animals  should  be  kept  thrifty 
«id  growing  all  winter.  A  stunted  animal 
never  fully  regains  lost  ground. 

Cows  should  be  kept  in  milk  aB  long  as 
possible.  It  is  a  great  mistake  to  turn 
them  dry  four  or  five  months  before  calv- 
ing. 

When  cows  are  allowed  to  have  their 
calves  run  with  them  they  should  he 
stripped  twice  a  day,  to  keep  up  their 
milking  qualities. 

In  Prince  Edward  Island  the  entire 
dairy  education  and  dairv  supervision  is 
under  the  control  of  the  Provincial  Dairy 
Association.  If  the  factories  do  not  come 
up  to  a  proper  sanitary  condition  the  As- 
sociation can  close  them  up. 
!  A  writer  suggestB  that  when  dairymen 
'  get  down  to  real,  earnest  work  that  they 
will  have  summer  silos,  as  well  as  winter 


silos,  and  that  when  the  pastures  fail 
they  will  be  able  to  feed  ensilage,  and 
thus  be  comparatively  independent.  This 
probably  will  be  better  than  soiling  crops, 
as  soiling  crops  are  uncertain. 

Many  a  cow  is  found  fault  with  because 
the  butter  does  not  come,  when  probably 
the  cream  is  not  properly  ripened,  or  the 
temperature  is  not  right.  When  enough 
cream  has  been  gathered  for  a  churning, 
it  should  be  exposed  to  a  fairly  warm 
temperature  and  stirred  occasionally  until 
it  reaches  a  proper  Btage  of  ripeness. 
Little  is  gained  by  haste  in  churning. 
Under  proper  conditions  butter  ought  to 
come  in  due  time. 

At  this  time  of  the  year  some  dairies 
are  troubled  with  mottled  butter  when 
artificial  coloring  matter  is  used.  The 
cause  of  this  irregular  coloring  is  all  due 
to  the  irregular  distribution  of  the  salt  in 
the  butter.  A  frequent  cause  is  trying  to 
salt  the  granuals  of  butter  when  they  are 
too  cold  to  take  the  salt.  The  remedy  is 
to  float  the  butter  in  water  raised  to  63  F. 
for  a  few  minutes  just  before  adding  the 
salt.  When  the  butter  is  salted  in  a  mass 
then  the  whole  butter  must  be  reduced  in 
a  temperature  about  62  F.  which  is  bard 
to  do  and  especially  for  the  se:ond  work- 
ing. The  outside  of  the  ma?s  will  get  too 
warm  while  heating  the  middle  of  it. 
This  twice  heating  is  injurious  to  good 
butter.  The  far  better  plan  is  to  salt  in 
the  churn  while  the  butter  is  in  the  gran- 
ule form  and  at  a  temperature  of  63  F.  in 
cold  weather. — Jersey  Bulletin. 


The  best  feed  for  colts  after  weaning, 
is  oats  and  bran;  no  corn,  or  a  small 
amount,  is  advisable.  He  will  eat  some 
good  hay.  At  no  time  should  he  be  fed 
in  such  a  way  that  he  will  lose  flesh.  He 
should  be  kept  gentle  all  the  time.

Lambs  have  gone  as  high  as  $7.75  on 
the  Buffalo  market. 

Sheepmen,  generally,  never  made  more 
money  than  last  year. 

Underfeeding  and  overfeeding  is  poor 
feeding  and  unprofitable. 

Keep  the  new-born  lamb  from  drafts— 
the  shepherd,  too,  if  you  can. 

The  ram  should  never  be  so  heavy  in 
flesh  as  to  be  useless  in  service. 

Variety  of  food  and  plenty  of  fresh 
water  tickles  the  palate  of  the  fleck. 

Avoid  heating  foods  at  all  times  of  the 
year  and  at  this  season  in  particular. 

A  coat  of  whitewash  will  lighten  the 
barn  and  add  to  its  sanitary  condition. 

The  one  who  is  a  liberal  feeder  is  the 
one  who  makes  the  most  money  out  of 
his  flock. 

The  receipts  of  sheep  at  Kansas  City 
in  1904  were  1,004,099,  as  against  1,151,- 
730  in  1903. 

When  buying  a  ram  select  from  a 
buyer  with  a  reputation  for  honesty  in 
his  dealings. 

If  one  grain  more  than  another  is  enti- 
tled to  universal  usage  by  the  flockmas- 
ter  it  is  oats. 

He  is  a  mighty  poor  shepherd  that 
didn't  make  a  little  money  out  of  his 
flock  last  year. 

Low  price  stock  does  not  always  mean 
cheap  stock.  Get  good  stock  and  give 
it  proper  care. 

Sheep  cannot  be  expected  to  thrive 
and  fatten  on  brush  alone,  as  good  a 
scavenger  as  he  is. 

Before  the  lambing  season  comes  on 
it  is  a  good  plan  to  remove  the  manure 
from  the  sheep  barn. 

The  high  prices  at  which  wool  is  sell- 
ing in  Australia  has  significance  to  the 
American  woolgrower. 

Pood  in  a  state  of  decomposition  is  un- 
fit for  sheep,  notwithstanding  their  rep- 
utation as  scavfingers. 

Reject  faulty  animals,  male  or  female; 
it  is  important  to  mate  only  as  Dear  per- 
fect animals  as  possible. 

Peed  is  as  necessary  to  sustain  the  life 
and  growing  body  of  the  fleece  as  it  is 
that  of  the  animal  itself. 

The  best  shepherd  is  the  one  who 
watches  what  others  are  doing  and  then 
thinks  and  acts  for  himself. 

If  you  disgust  a  lamb  with  poor  feed 
he  will  disgust  you  with  poor  returns. 
One  bad  turn  deserves  another. 

Now  is  the  time  to  get  busy;  next  fall's 
profit's  depend  largely  on  the  care  the 
ewe  gets  at  this  season  of  the  year. 

Don't  feed  wastefully  by  feeding  too 
much  at  a  time  or  feeding  the  animal 
that  you  know  is  not  constituted  to  give 
returns. — Am.  Sheep  Breeder.

Gentlemen: — I  have  used  "Save-the-Horse"  spavin  cure  with 
entire  satisfaction,  as  follows: 

I  first  tried  the  remedy  on  a  thoroughbred,  which  had  bowed 
both  tendons  and  which  had  bsen  fired  once  and  blistered  a  number 
of  times,  but  every  time  he  was  trained  one  or  the  other  of  the  legs 
would  fill.  This  happened  three  years  in  succession.  Last  spring 
I  biu?ht  a  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse'1  and  used  it  according  to  di- 
rections with  the  result  that  he  started  7 times, at  all  distances, In 
July  last,  won  3  times,  second  3  times  and  third  once— an  excellent 
record— and  he  appears  to  te  perfectly  sound  to-day,  and  will  be 
raced  next  month.  lam  firmly  convinced  that  without  your  rem- 
edy he  would  not  have  been  worth  a  dollar  as  a  race  horse. 

I  have  a  roadster  which  stepped  in  a  hole  at  pasture  and 
wrenched  a  hind  ankle— so  badly  that  he  could  not  put  his  foot  on 
the  ground  I  was  advised  to  shoot  him.  as  it  was  claimed  that  he 
had  injured  his  hip  Instead.  I  blistered  him  and  he  became  ser- 
viceablysound.but  limped  at  every  step.  Upon  close  examination 
I  found  a  growth  between  the  coronary  hand  and  the  ankle  which 
developed  into  ringbone.  I  used  one  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse"  on 
the  growth  and  it  entirely  disappeared.  He  has  not  taken  a  lame 
step  since. 

Knowing  the  value  of  the  remedy.  I  do  not  hesitate  to  recom- 
mend it  to  all  horse  owners  of  my  acquaintance. 
Very  truly, 

W.  A.  REDMOND.

GALL  CURE 

For  GALL  BACKS  and  SHOULDERS,  CRUPPE 
SORES  and  SADDLE  GALLS  there  is  nou 
superior. 

The  horse  CAN  BE  WORKED  AS  USUAL 

For  BARBED  WIRE  CUTS,  CALKS,  SCRATCH- 
ES, BLOOD  POISONED  SORES  and  ABRASIONS 
OF  THE  SKIN  it  has  no  equal. 

It  is  very  adhesive  and  easily  applied  to  a  waterj 
as  well  as  a  dry  sore. 

Its  use  will  absolutely  prevent  BLOOD  POISON 
ING.  In  this  respect  there  is  no  Gall  Cure  offeree 
which  can  justly  even  claim  to  be  a  competitor. 
We  placed  it  on  the  marked  relying  wholly  on  its 
merit  for  success,  and  notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
comparatively  little  has  been  done  in  the  way  of 
advertising  the  salesof  1900  were  100  per  cent  great- 
er than  the  aggregate  sales  of  Gall  Cure  preceding 
that  year.  This  increase,  was  entirely  due  to  its 
MERITS,  and  from  it  we  feel  justified  in  sayingtbat 
it  is  THE  GALL  CURE  OF  THE  90TH  CENTURY. 

It  is  a  quick  and  sure  cure  for  those  troublesome 
skin  cracks  under  the  fe  *^ck  w  nich  injure  and  often 
lay  up  race  horses.

THE  BREEDERS  PROGRAM  for  the  meeting  to 
be  held  in  August,  this  year,  will  be  found  in  our 
advertising  columns  this  week.  No  less  than  $14,500 
la  hung  up  for  races  to  be  trotted  and  paced  during 
the  four  days  meeting  and  the  program  has  been 
arranged  to  accommodate  as  many  horses  as  possible. 
The  2:24  trotters  are  given  $2000  and  the  2:20  pacers 
$1500  as  ha3  been  the  custom  for  several  years.  "The 
2:08  class  pacers  are  offered  a  purse  of  $1000,  and  the 
race  should  bring  together  a  field  of  horses  able  to 
furnish  one  of  the  best  races  ever  held  in  California. 
The  2:13,  2:18  and  2:27  trotters  are  each  given 
purses  of  $800,  and  the  2:13  and  2:17  pacers  are  offered 
equal  amounts.  These  with  the  two  two-year-old  races 
in  Breeders  Futurity  No.  3,  and  tbe  two  three-year- 
old  races*in  Futurity  No  2  make  up  a  program  that 
will  furnish  a  very  high  class  program  for  the  four 
days  of  the  meeting.  There  will  be  no  substitutiors 
this  year.  Entries  will  close  April  3d,  and  horses 
must  be  named  with  entry.  It  will  only  cost  two  per 
cent  to  enter,  one  per  cent  additional  May 
1st,  one  per  cent  additional  June  1st,  and 
one  per  cent  additional  July  1st.  All  stakes  are  best 
three  heals  in  five,  except  the  two-year-old  events 
which  are  two  in  three.  Now  that  the  Breeders 
Association  has  announced  a  program  it  is  in  order 
for  other  associations  to  get  in  line  and  claim  dates 
on  the  California  circuit  and  announce  a  list  of  purses. 
There  are  seven  or  eight  hundred  horses  in  training 
in  this  State  and  at  least  two-thirds  of  them  are  being 
prepared  for  racing  if  a  good  circuit  is  made  up  Los 
Augeles,  Fresno,  Stockton,  Pleasanton,  San  Jose, 
Santa  Rosa,  Woodland  and  Red  Bluff  would  make  an 
ideal  circuit.  Can't  we  hear  from  some  of  the  above 
named  tracks  without  further  delay? 


LOS  ANGELES  will  open  the  California  harness 
racing  circuit  in  July  if  satisfactory  arrangements 
can  be  made  for  the  use  of  Agricultural  Park  in  that 
city.  Attractive  purses  will  be  given  for  a  program 
ox  not  less  than  five  days,  and  it  is  more  than  likely 
that  the  closing  meeting  of  the  year  will  also  be  held 
at  Los  Angeles  in  November,  with  purses  of  sufficient 
size  to  draw  the  best  horses  from  the  North  as  far  as 
Seattle  and  also  from  the  East  after  the  close  of  the 
Grand  Circuit.     It  is  thought  that  by  giving  no  less 


than  $1000  purses  for  all  classes,  a  big  entry  will  be 
received  for  the  spring  meeting,  and  by  holding  the 
meeting  in  July  and  announcing  it  early ,  a  circuit  will 
be  arranged  to  follow  it  that  will  keep  many  horses 
in  California  whose  owners  are  now  figuring  on  going 
East  with  them.  By  giving  the  same  sized  purses  at 
the  fall  meeting  with  a  few  extra  attractions,  all  the 
best  horses  that  race  this  year  in  California,  Oregon 
and  Washington  would  go  to  Los  Angeles  and  many 
would  come  from  the  East  to  participate  in  tbe  races 
and  afterwards  spend  the  winter  in  the  land  of  sun- 
shine, getting  a  chance  to  race  at  an  early  meeting 
next  year  liefore  returning  to  the  Grand  Circuit.  An 
organization  of  wealthy  gentlemen  interested  in  har- 
ness horses  will  organize  themselves  into  an  associa- 
tion to  carry  out  the  above  plan  just  as  soon  as  they 
can  be  assured  of  securing  the  use  of  the  track  at 
Agricultural  Park.  Los  Angeles  is  a  great  trotting 
horse  town  and  well  conducted  meetings  will  draw  big 
crowds  there. 


"THE  YEAR  BOOK  for  1904  is  out.  It  has  been 
I  compiled  on  the  same  lines  as  the  preceding  vol- 
ume which  is  very  like  the  voiumes  issued  prior  to 
Vol.  18,  except  the  lists  of  all  2:30  trotters  and  2:25 
pacers  is  omitted.  This  is  the  only  serious  fault  we 
have  to  find  with  the  new  volume.  It  contains  an  al- 
phabetical list  of  the  new  standard  performers  of 
1904  but  the  omission  of  the  lists  of  performers  of 
previous  years,  makes  a  reference  to  three  or  four 
yolumes  necessary,  to  enable  one  to  find  the  descrip- 
tion and  pedigree  of  a  performer,  the  date  of  whose 
performance  one  is  not  acquainted  with.  We  recognize 
the  fact  that  standard  performers  are  becoming  so 
numerous  that  volumes  compiled  on  the  plan  of  Vol. 
18  would  be  so  cumbersome  and  grow  so  from 
year  to  year  that  the  smallest  type  and  a  book  the 
size  of  a  large  dictionary  would  be  required,  but  think 
the  complete  list  of  standard  performers  would  not 
have  made  the  present  volume  too  large.  We  are 
thankful  for  the  Year  Book  as  it  is,  however,  know- 
ing it  must  be  printed  at  a  loss,  and  the  wonder  to 
us  is  that  it  is  as  complete  as  the  publishers  make  it. 
It  Is  a  necessary  volume  in  every  horseman's  library 
and  can  be  ordered  through  the  BREEDER  AND 
SPORTSMAN.  It  contains  summaries  of  all  harness 
races  during  1904,  the  pedigrees  of  the  new  standard 
performers,  table  of  sires  of  2:30  performers  with 
totals  of  their  get  and  those  of  their  producing  socs 
and  daughters,  table  of  great  brood  mares,  and  an 
index  of  all  horses  starting  in  1904.  It  is  well  worth 
the  $4  asked  for  it. 


THE  LEAGUE  of  Amateur  Driving  Clubs  has 
issued  Its  official  year  book  for  1904.  The  book 
is  of  convenient  size,  handsomely  bound  in  green  and 
gilt  and  beautifully  printed  and  illustrated.  It  con- 
tains full  summaries  of  all  trotting  and  pacing  events 
at  matinees  of  1904,  also  summaries  of  amateur  events 
at  public  meetings.  There  are  lists  of  officers  and 
members  of  the  clubs  in  membership  in  the  league 
and  alphabetical  lists  of  the  trotters  and  pacers 
owned  by  club  members.  The  volume  is  compiled 
and  edited  by  Geo.  A.  Schneider  of  Cleveland,  who 
has  done  his  work  in  a  thorough  and  very  satisfactory 
manner. 


OAKWOOD  PARK  STOCK  FARM  will  held  a 
sale  of  thirty  head  of  two,  three  and  four-year, 
old  colts,  fillies  and  geldings  at  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.'s 
salesyard,  March  28th.  These  young  horses  are  by 
Charles  Derby,  Steinway  and  other  great  sires  ard 
are  all  sound  and  in  fine  condition.  The  reputation  of 
Oakwood  Stock  Farm  is  very  high  among  the  horse- 
men of  California  and  the  young  horses  to  be  offered 
at  this  sale  will  not  detract  anything  from  it,  as  they 
are  the  finest  lot  of  horses  that  has  been  offered  at  a 
public  sale  by  the  farm  for  years.  More  particulars 
next  week. 


THE  DEATH  OF  MRS.  STANFORD,  widow  of 
Ex-Senator  Leland  Stanford,  which  the  cable 
announced  Wednesday  of  this  week  as  having  occurred 
at  Honolulu,  was  a  shock  to  the  entire  country.  Mrs. 
Stanford  devoted  her  life  and  her  immense  fortune  to 
the  youth  of  this  nation  and  to  the  honored  memory 
of  the  husband  and  son  who  preceded  her  to  the  life 
beyond.  The  great  Stanford  University  will  be  her 
monument,  and  no  grander  was  ever  erected.  Her 
death  so  far  away  from  her  home  and  the  great  in- 
stitution that  was  her  special  care,  was  sad  and 
deplorable.  ___^^_^^^^_ 

THE  SPRING  SOUVENIR  NUMBER  of  the 
Ain&rican  Sportsman,  published  at  Cleveland  is 
a  beautiful  issue.  The  cover  design  is  very  rich  and 
handsome,  and  there  are  75  or  80  pages  filled  with  well 
written  articles  by  special  writers  and  many  fine  half 
tone  engravings.  No  paper  printed  is  doing  more  for 
the  best  interests  of  the  light  harness  horse  and  his 
breeder. 


A  RTICLES  OF  INCORPORATION  of  the  San 
*»  Jose  Amusement  and  Driving  Park  Association 
have  been  filed  with  a  capital  stock  of  $100,000  divided 
into  shares  of  $10  each,  ft  is  proposed  to  lease  Agri- 
cultural Park  at  San  Jose,  build  new  stalls  and  a 
club-house,  fix  up  that  portion  of  the  grounds 
now  used  for  base  ball  and  cycling  and  make 
the  place  a  great  centre  of  amusements.  Mr.  F. 
J.  Granger,  formerly  of  Santa  Cruz  is  tbe  lead- 
ing spirit  in  the  enterprise  and  states  that  he  will  keep 
the  track  in  perfect  order  for  training  and  the  holding 
of  harness  meetings. 


A  BILL  to  prohibit  betting  on  horse  races  in  Cali- 
*»  fornia  has  passed  the  Assembly  of  the  California 
Legislature.  The  general  impression  is  that  it  will 
not  pass  the  Senate,  but  when  "reformers"  got  to 
work  there  is  no  telling  where  they  will  stop.  Of 
course,  the  bill  is  aimed  at  the  race  tracks  at  Emery- 
ville and  Los  Angeles,  but  the  bill  would  stop  betting 
on  harness:  races  u»t  the  fairs  and  other  meetings  as 
well.  Harness  racing  can  be  held  without  betting, 
but  if  the  bill  should  becomea  law  the  running  tracks 
la  California  would  have  to  close  up. 


JAMES  BUTLER,  the  millionaire  grocer  of  New 
*•*  York,  proprietor  of  East  View  Farm  in  that 
State,  and  also  owner  of  the  old  Valensin  Farm,  near 
Pleasanton,  which  he  purchased  last  year,  reached 
California  this  week  and  will  spend  a  few  weeks 
watching  his  Grand  Circuit  string  of  trotters  and 
pacers  take  their  work  at  the  Pleasanton  track  where 
they  are  under  the  management  of  the  veteran  Mon- 
roe Salisbury  and  being  trained  by  Chas.  DeRyder. 


Briquette  Sells  for  $5000. 

Last  Saturday  at  Pleasanton,  Jos.  McGuire  who 
trains  for  Mr.  Geo.  H.  Esterbrook,  the  Denver  capi- 
talist, purchased  through  Al  McDonald,  from  Mr.  M. 
A.  Murphy  of  this  city  the  Zombro  mare  Briquette, 
paying  $5000  for  her.  Briquette  is  out  of  a  mare  by 
Woolsey,  own  brother  to  Sunol  2:08J,  and  is  one  of  the 
greatest  trotting  prospects  that  the  Pleasanton  track 
has  furnished  for  some  time.  She  is  now  four  years 
old  and  has  trotted  a  half  in  1:05^  and  a  quarter  in 
32  seconds,  She  is  beautifully  gaited  and  as  Mr.  Mc- 
Guire will  race  herthis  year  it  is  a  foregone  conclusion 
that  she  will  take  a  low  mark.  Mr.  McDonald  thinks 
she  will  be  a  2:10  trotter  before  the  summer  is  over 
and  says  a  mile  in  that  notch  is  not  her  limit  by  a 
good  deal.  Mr.  Murphy  has  bred  and  raised  several 
fast  trotters,  among  them  Ella  Madison  2:12J  but  Bri- 
quette will  beat  all  the  present  records  of  his  breed- 
ing farm  beyond  a  doubt,  although  he  has  one  or  two 
left  that  he  considers  just  as  good  although  not  de- 
veloped. 

Answers  to  Correspondents. 

Geo.  R.  Dittus,  Sacramento— Don  Fallis,  a  dark 
bay  stallion,  bred  by  J.  J.  Spieker  of  Sacramento  is 
by  Fallis  4781  and  out  of  a  mare  by  the  thoroughbred 
stallion  Bayswater,  second  dam  by  Lancet,  son  of 
Black  Hawk  767,  third  dam  by  Werner's  Rattler  262. 
We  believe  he  is  claimed  to  have  a  trial  of  2:16  or 
thereabouts.  Norwood  by  Speedwell's  Hambletonian 
was  out  of  Lady  Wells  by  Gen.  Knox  140,  second  dam 
Lady  Harding,  a  Morgan  mare. 


F.  H.  CUMMINGS,  Walnut  Creek — Almont  33  is  the 
sire  of  35  trotters  and  2  pacers  in  the  list.  Abdallah 
15  has  5  trotters  in  the  list.  Ethel  C.  2:20  by  Sidney 
took  her  record  at  Spokane,  Washington  June  24, 
1896,  in  the  first  heat  of  the  2:21  class  pace.  The 
heats  were  2:20,2:21^,2:20}  and  were  all  won  by  Ethel  C. 


J.  M.  Buckley,  Courtland— The  stallion  Wilkes- 
dale  is  by  Alcantara  729,  dam  Thorndale  Maid  by 
Thorndale  305,  grandam  Bridesmaid  by  Hambletonian 
10.  He  is  registered  and  his  number  is  4541.  Els 
record  is  2:29  and  he  is  the  sire  of  five  standard 
performers. 

Will  Robinson  of  Snelling,  Cal.  advertises  the  stal- 
lion Sidney  Alan  for  public  service  this  year  at  $40 
the  season.  Sidney  Alan  is  standard  and  registered, 
a  bay  horse  with  black  points,  and  was  foaled  in  1893. 
He  is  by  the  great  Sidney  and  out  of  a  mare  by  Allan- 
dorf,  one  of  Onward's  greatest  sons.  Sidney  Alan 
was  never  trained  but  is  an  exceptionally  fine  individ. 
ual  and  naturally  fast.  Look  over  his  tabulated  pedi- 
gree in  the  advertisement  which  appears  in  this  issue. 
The  third  dam  of  this  horse  is  a  mare  by  Middletown, 
sire  of  the  dam  of  Flying  Jib  2:04. 


Walter  Maben  has  had  more  bad  luck  than  falls  to 
the  share   of  most   reinsmen.     At   Los   Angeleo  last 
week   he  was  thrown  from  a  cart  and  two  of  his  ribs 
were  broken.    The  injury   will  confine   him    t< 
house  for  a  while,  but  he  hopes  to  be  able  to 
his  training  duties  within  a  week  or  two.

Beadville  will  offer  a  good  purse  for  the  fast  record 
trotters,  hoping  to  bring  Sweet  Marie  and  Tiverton 
together  again.  

The  total  number  of  2:30  trotters  uo  to  close  of 
1904  was  20,282,  and  the  total  number  of  2:25  pacers  to 
the  same  date  11,748.  

Sidney  Dillon's  book  is  about  full.  He  is  limited  to 
$60  mares  at  $150  each  and  the  Horse  Review  states 
that  55  have  already  been  booked. 


William  Larsen  of  this  city  owns  a  pretty  good 
prospect  in  a  green  trotter  that  has  never  been  trained, 
but  pulled  two  men  in  a  buggy  a  mile  in  2:30  the  other 
day.  

Read  the  advertisement  of  the  young  stallion  Dill- 
cara  in  this  issue  and  see  if  you  can  think  of  a  better 
bred  one.  He  is  as  choice  goods  as  come  wrapped  in 
horse  hide.  

If  the  Tennessee  anti-betting  bill  becomes  a  law  it

December  1.  

Diablo  2:09}  has  been  moved  to  Fresno  for  the  sea-

Directum  sold  for  $1200. 


Bather  than  to  see  no  circuit  in  California,  the

There  are  eight  of  Bonnie  Directs  colts  and  fillies 
being  handled  at  Pleasanton  and  all  are  trotters  but 
one.  The  two-year  old  filly  by  Bonnie  Direct  2:05}, 
out  of  Jenny  Mac  2:09,  has  a  pacing  sire  and  dam,  but 
is  herself  a  nice  gaited  trotter.

The  Oregon  Fair  has  baen  declared  oil  this  year

Bud  Crooke  2:15},  sire  of  C.  K.  G.  Billing's  favorite 
road  horse,  Hontas  Crooke  2:07!,  is  now  twenty-five 
years  old,  but  still  able  to  lead  the  best  of  them  down 
the  snow  path  at  Canton,  O. 


Six  of  the  get  of  Nutwood  Wilkes  entered  the  list 
of  new  standard  performers  last  year  which  is  a 
remarkable  showing  as  that  was  about  the  sum  total 
of  nil  that  started  in  races.  Train  a  son  or  daughter 
of  Nutwood  Wilkes  and  it  will  show  standard   speed. 


Mr.  C.  K.  G.   Billings,  owner  of  Lou   Dillon   1:58!, 

h'.s  bred  a  half  dozen  fast  mares  to  Nutwood  Wilkes' 

fn  John  A.  McKerron  and  nominated    the   mares   in 

a  iveral  futurities.      Among   the   mares   Mr.  Billings 

ed  to  the  champion  of  the  Wilkes  stallions  are 

■azette  2:04},  Lucille  2:07,  Louise  Jefferson  2:09}, 
lT-aogene  2:llj,  Bugle  2:12}  and  Fanny  Foley  2:11. 


Mr.  J.  W.  Biggs,  an  attorney  of  Burns,  Oregon,  has 
been  in  San  Francisco  for  the  past  two  weeks  on  legal 
business.  Mr.  Biggs  loves  a  good  horse  and  owns  one 
in  the  handsome  stallion  Dazzler  2:26!  by  Willington, 
dam  the  great  brood  mare  Bettie  Higginp,  °  rand-dam 
of  Albert  2:04f  Mr.  Biggs  is  a  cousin  of  the  late  Hon. 
Marion  Big^s  of  Butte  county,  Cal.  He  left  for  home 
this  week. 

The  old-time  trotting  stallion  Moody  2:18}  died  at 
West  Point,  Illinois,  two  weeks  ago  at  the  ripe  age  of 
31  years.  He  was  a  remarkable  horse  and  took  his 
record  in  1886  when  he  was  twelve  years  of  age.  He 
served  a  few  mares  last  year  and  nearly  all  are  with 
foal.  Moody  was  by  Swigert,  and  on  his  dam's  side 
his  breeding  traced  back  to  imp.  Messenger.  He  was 
the  sire  of  lone  2:08!  pacing. 


The  annual  speed  way  parade  of  the  New  York  Road 
Drivers'  Association  will  occur  on  Saturday,  May  6. 
Extensive  preparations  will  be  made  to  make  it  sur- 
pass all  previous  efforts  in  thiB  line. 


By  winning  a  heat  in  2:18  at  the  Los  Angeles 
matinee  races,  Limonero  2:15|  demonstrated  that  he 
possesses  all  his  speed  as  he  is  not  in  regular  training. 
A  stallion  fourteen  years  old  that  can  step  out  and  win 
a  heat  in  2:18  without  preparation  is  a  pretty  }.;ood 
one. 

Arnold  Lawson,  son  of  Thomas  W.  Lawson,  of  Bos- 
ton, is  contemplating  getting  Boralma  2:07  into  condi- 
tion for  the  wagon  races  the  coming  season.  The  son 
of  Boreal  is  being  jogged  on  the  roads  and  shows  no 
signs  of  the  lameness  which  caused  hi6  retirement  in 
1902.  

The  New  Year  Book  contains  an  error  in  the  Great 
Table,  as  in  Zombro's  list  of  new  performers  it  gives 
Bellemont's  two-year-old  record  as  2:29!  when  it 
should  be  2:20J.  In  the  alphabetical  list  of  new  per- 
formers Bellemont's  record  is  correctly  giveD,  how- 
ever. 

Go  to  any  track  where  there  is  a  Stam  B.  colt  or 
filly  being  worked  and  you  will  find  the  horsemen 
talking  about  its  speed  and  good  looks.  Stam  B.  will 
found  a  great  family.  His  get  sell  well,  and  are  nearly 
all  trotters.  Look  out  for  a  sensational  colt  trotter 
by  Stam  B.  this  year. 

California  breeders  who  read  about  the  leading 
Eastern  breeders  booking  so  many  high  class  mares 
to  John  A.  McKerron  2:04!,  should  remember  that 
Nearest,  a  full  brother  to  that  horse,  is  standing  at 
San  Jose  this  year.  As  Nearest  has  already  sired  a 
2:10  performer  he  is  worth  considering  before  booking 
mares. 

Millard  Sanders  recently  talked  as  follows  regard- 
ing Tom  Axworthy:  "Tom  Axworthy  is  the  fastest 
trotter  in  the  United  States  or  the  world,  outside  of 
Lou  Dillon  or  Major  Dalmar;  and  I  think  that  he  will 
show  the  trotters  on  the  Grand  Circuit  something 
next  season  when  he  starts  " 


Strathway  is  being  well  patronized  by  the  breeders 
of  this  part  of  California  this  year.  He  has  twenty 
mares  already  booked  and  many  of  them  are  not  only 
well  bred  but  producers.  The  get  of  Strathway  are 
natural  trotters  and  universally  good  gaited. 


Johnny  Ray,  the  popular  actor  and  enthusiastic 
amateur  trotting  horseman  of  Cleveland,  has  bought 
the  fast  trotting  mare,  Hazel  Burns,  2:15 j,  by  Bobby 
Burns,  of  Dick  Blumenthal,  Hartford,  Conn.  He  will 
drive  the  mare  in  the  Cleveland  matinees  this  seasoc 


Petigru  2:10}  was  foaled  in  1895  and  consequently 
will  be  ten  years  old  this  spring.  He  was  raced  and 
not  put  in  the  stud  until  two  years  ago,  although  he 
was  bred  to  two  or  three  mares  when  he  was  six  years 
old.  A  three  year  old  trotter  by  him  worked  a  mile 
in  2:14  over  Eist  last  year.  Petigru  should  be  a  great 
cross  for  McKinney  and  other  Wilkes  mares. 

Kinn?y  Lou  2:07J,  the  fastest  entire  son  of  Mc- 
Kinney, is  having  some  fine  mares  booked  to  him  this 
season.  He  was  mated  with  forty  mares  last  year 
and  there  were  many  well  bred  ones  among  them,  but 
those  booked  this  year  promise  to  be  more  numerous 
and  better  bred.  That  he  is  a  coming  great  sire  of 
speed  is  believed  by  all  who  have  seen  his  colts. 

The  new  light  "Miller"  cart  is  a  dandy.  As  one 
driver  says  all  one  has  to  do  is  "back  up  to  it, ' '  sit  on 
the  seat,  swing  your  legs  around,  and  you're  in."  It 
has  a  low  seat,  is  light,  strong  and  handsome.  J.  I. 
Sparrow  is  the  agent  for  this  Coast.  His  advertise- 
ment appears  in  this  issue.  Ask  Budd  Doble  about 
the  Miller  cart  and  the  Decker  sulky.     He  uses  them. 

Breeders  who  reside  near  Sacramento  should  not 
overlook  the  fact  that  I  Direct  2:12!  is  making  the 
season  there  in  charge  of  Prof.  H.  B.  Freeman.  I 
Direct  is  one  of  the  best  bred  6ons  of  the  great  Direct 
2:05!,  and  is  out  of  one  of  the  best  broodmares  ever 
brought  to  California.  His  disposition  is  perfect  and 
his  colts  are  well  formed,  handsome  and  have  natural 
speed. 

The  sorrel  gelding  Will  Clark,  with  which  W.  A. 
Clark,  Jr.,  won  the  club  cup  trotting  race  at  Los 
Angeles  on  Washington's  Birthday,  is  the  gelding 
that  W.  W.  Mendenhall  sold  Mr.  Clark  last  year.  He 
is  by  Strathway  and  a  very  promising  trotter.  Hie 
heats  were  won  in  2:25  and  2:22,  showing  him  to  be 
not  only  a  good  green  trotter  but  one  that  is  able  to 
repeat.  

Capt.  C.  H.  Williams,  of  Palo  Alto,  has  learned  that 
he  cannot  register  his  three-year-old  by  McKinney 
out  of  Twenty-third  by  Director  as  Mac  Direct,  so 
has  concluded  to  give  him  the  name  Unimak,  which 
is  the  name  of  a  large  iBland  of  the  Aleutian  group,  to 
which  the  Captain  makes  a  trip  every  summer  to 
superintend  his  large  fish  canning  interests  in  that 
section. 

Josh  Albertson  is  training  a  pacer  by  Hart  Boswell, 
belonging  to  S.  Christenson  of  this  city  that  is  show- 
ing speed  enough  to  get  money  in  good  company.  The 
pacer  will  not  be  four  years  old  until  June,  and  was 
only  just  broken  last  year  and  turned  out,  being  taken 
up  in  January  this  year.  Albertson  drove  him  a  half 
in  1:06}  la9t  week  at  Pleasanton  and  says  he  could 
have  gone  faster. 


Secretary  W.  H  Knight  of  the  American  Trotting 
Association  will  place  his  four-year-old  Bingen  2:06} 
filly  in  Charley  Dean's  hands  for  training  this  spring, 
and  she  is  likely  to  prove  a  sensational  trotter.  That 
she  is  bred  to  go  the  route  is  certain.  She  is  out  of 
Annetell  2:20i"by  Axtell  2:12,  and  her  second  dam  was 
Rowena  Sprague  2:27},  the  dam  of  three  standard  per- 
formers by  Governor  Sprague  2:20}. 


If  you  want  horses  that  will  be  close  to  16  hands  and 
weigh  from  a  thousand  pounds  up,  breed  your  mare  to 
Seymour  Wilkes  2:08}.  There  was  no  gamer  race 
horse  ever  hit  a  track  in  California,  and  no  stallion 
ever  sired  a  more  unifoi  m  lot  of  colts.  They  all  have 
speed  and  make  fine  large  roadsters  as  well  as  race- 
horses. His  son  Mom  oe  2:10}  is  said  by  all  the  East- 
ern horsemen  to  be  the  best  gaited  big  trotter  that  ap- 
peared on  the  Grand  Circuit  last  year. 


Gen.  Henry  I  Russell,  father  of  Howland  S.  Russell, 
president  of  the  New  England  Breeders  Association, 
died  at  his  home  in  Boston  on  February  16.  General 
Bussell  was  fire  commissioner  of  Boston  and  a  promi- 
nent horseman.  General  Russell  for  years  ran  the 
noted  stock  farm  in  Milton,  known  as  the  Home  Farm, 
and  owned  the  champion  stallion  trotters  of  their  day, 
Fearnaught  2:23}  and  Smuggler  2:15}.  Later  he  had 
the  champion  four-year-old  stallion,  Edgmark  2:16. 


"Columbus"  of  the  Western  Horseman  gives  breeders 
the  following  pointer:  "Since  my  recent  trip  to 
Chicago  1  have  reached  the  conclusion  tha;  one  rea- 
son for  the  present  high  prices  of  heavy  harness 
horses  with  action  and  style  is,  that  there  are  not 
enough  good  heads  and  necks  to  go  around.  I  found 
plenty  of  good-bodied  and  good-legged  horses  at  the 
stock  yards,  but  not  enough  with  the  right  kind  of 
heads  and  necks.  Breeders  should  pay  more  atten- 
tion to  this  matter  of  heads  and  necks." 


Just  five  of  the  daughters  of  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16} 
have  pioduced  foals  that  have  been  worked  for  speed 
prior  to  this  year  and  the  result  is  five  standard  per- 
formers as  follows:  Miss  Georgie  2:11}.  Caroline  L 
2:13},  Iloilo  2.15,  Mono  Wilkes  (2)  2:17}  and  Lady 
Mowry  2:28.  Can  any  one  doubt  that  the  daughters 
of  Nutwood  Wilkes  will  be  distinguished  in  the  brood 
mare  ranks  after  this  showing?  Nutwood,  it  must  be 
remembered,  is  the  greatest  site  of  brood  mares  and 
he  is  the  sire  of  the  dam  of  Nutwood  Wilkes. 


John  Green,  the  well  known  trainer,  who  has 
resided  in  Oregon  and  Washington  for  several  years 
and  who  took  quite  a  string  of  horses  through  the 
North  Pacific  Circuit  last  season,  arrived  in  San  Frar- 
cisco  this  week  and  contemplates  remaining  here  for 
several  weeks  and  may  stay  and  handle  a  string  of 
trotters  and  pacers  on  the  California  Circuit.  "Red" 
is  a  good  conditioner  and  driver  and  has  the  faculty 
of  making  good  gaited  and  fast  trotters  out  of  the 
horses  he  handles.       

The  Oregon  Legislature  has  dec!  led  that  no  State 
Fair  will  be  held  at  Salnn  this  year,  not  wishing  to 
have  anything  to  conflict  wish  the  Lewis  &  Clark 
Fair  at  Portland,  but  the  citizens  of  Salem  will 
probably  raise  a  bonus  of  $2000  for  a  six  days'  race 
meeting  during  the  week  usually  taken  by  the  State 
Fair.  Good  purses  will  be  g'ver,  and  as  the  other 
tracks  on  the  North  Pacific  Circuit  will  give  meetings 
as  usual,  the  harness  horsemen  will  have  plenty  of 
racing  provided  them. 


California  needs  more  half-mile  tracks.  In  the  in- 
terior of  this  State  where  the  long  dry  summers 
make  it  very  expensive  to  keep  a  mile  track  in  order, 
owing  to  the  cost  of  water,  half-mile  tracks  would 
solve  the  question,  as  they  can  be  kept  in  shape  at 
one  half  the  expense.  Many  trainers  in  the  State 
who  will-pour  forth  all  sorts  of  condemnatory  epithets 
when  ever  a  half-mile  track  is  suggested,  will  ship 
their  horses  across  the  Rocky  mountains  in  the  sum- 
mer and  race  them  exclusively  on  half-mile  tracks  for 
purses  that  seldom  exceed  $300.  A  good  half-mile 
track  where  a  meeting  is  held  every  year  with  small 
purses  is  much  better  for  the  harness  horse  industry 
than  a  mile  track  that  is  neglected  and  meetings  given 
once  in  three  or  four  years. 


In  a  letter  to  the  BREEDER  AND  SPORTSMAN,  dated 
February  24th,  Mr.  Joseph  Depoister  of  Fresno,  states 
that  the  weather  there  is  fine,  the  track  fast  and  the 
horses  all  working  well.  Nearly  all  the  trotters  aud 
pacers  at  the  track  are  green  but  some  excellent 
prospects  are  among  them  C.  E.  Clark  has  eight  or 
nine,  S  C.  Walton  nine,  Chas.  Middleton  eight  and 
J.  Depoister  three.  All  have  hopes  of  going  to  the 
races  this  season  if  there  are  any  and  Mr.  Depoister 
adds  that  many  more  horses  would  be  in  training  if 
the  programs  were  out.  Many  owners  refuse  to  take 
their  horses  uo  until  they  know  there  will  be  a  circuit. 
There  is  nothing  so  much  needed  in  California  as  the 
organization  of  a  harness  racing  circuit  independent 
of  district  fairs,  appropriations  or  anything  else.

Matinee  Events  at  Phoenix,  Arizona. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman:  Enclosed  find  news- 
paper clipping  giving  account  of  our  Washington 
Birthday  matinee  races  which  were  a  success  in  every 
way,  and  show  we  are  getting  some  of  the  choice 
horses  now  in  Phoenix.  The  club  is  doing  everything 
to  interest  the  public  in  an  annual  Territorial  Pair 
which  will  help  the  horse  interests  here.  W.  C. 
Greene's  and  J.  C.  Adam's  horses  are  wintering  well 
and  there  is  no  doubt  but  they  will  be  heard  from 
this  year.  Respectfully, 

A.  H   Davidson. 

The  matinee  races  were  attended  by  a  large 
crowd  and  there  was  fine  sport.  The  track  was  in  ex- 
cellent condition  and  some  very  good  time  was  made 
The  fourth  race  was  cancelled  owing  to  the  failure  of 
one  of  the  horses  to  appear,  but  the  other  three  races 
were  gre  itly  enjoyed  and  the  exhibitions  were  all  that 
were  expected. 

The  great  exhibition  was  for  the  Senator  L  cup 
offered  by  Charles  A.  Smith  owner  of  Senator  L  as  a 
prize  to  the  driver  who  can  without  the  aid  of  a 
watch,  drive  the  nearest  to  three  minutes  in  three 
different  races.  The  conditions  are  ths»t  there  shall 
be  but  one  contest  at  one  matinee  and  the  driver  shall 
be  a  member  of  the  association. 

In  yesterdays  contest  there  were  five  entries,  the 
time  made  being  as  follows:  A.  H.  Davidson,  driving 
Lillian  Zolocb,  time  2:50;  Frank  Cavallieri,  driving 
Arizona  Sirius,  time  3:10;  Dr.  H.  A.  Hughes  driving 
Billy  Baker,  time  2:55;  George  Klotzbach  driving 
Miss  Boydello,  time  2:53;  W.  N.  Tiffany  driving  Ari- 
zona Sirius,  time  2:59.  Mr.  Tiffany  being  within  one 
second  of  the  mari  was  declared  the  winner  of  yester- 
day's event.  He  has  now  covered  one-third  of  the 
distance  between  himself  and  the  cup.  These  con- 
testants started  one  at  a  time  and  not  all  together  as 
in  a  raoe. 

The  first  of  the  stated  races  yesterday  was  a  mile 
trot,  best  two  in  three.  Jessie  Mack,  a  two-year-old 
by  McKinney,  took  two  heats  straight,  with  Sirius 
Onward  second  and  Anna  Dillon  third.  The  t'lfae  was 
2:33J  and  2:34. 

The  second  race  which  was  also  a  mile  trot  was  won 
by  King  Clerc  in  two  straight  heats  2:214  and  2:234. 
Delnette  was  second  and  Charles  M.  third.  King  Clerc 
is  one  of  Col.  W.  C.  Greene's  driving  horses  referred 
to  as  his  show  pair.  This  was  his  first  appearance  on 
this  track  and  when  he  gets  acquainted  with  the 
surroundings  he  will  be  able  to  go  some. 

The  third  race  was  a  pace,  Iddie  C.  winning  the  two 
first  heats  in  2:294  and  2:27.  Governor  Brodie  was 
second  and  Bill  C.  third  in  both  beats.  Iddie  C.  made 
a  fine  showing  and  was  driven  by  Ed  Barnum.  Klotz- 
bach, in  a  conversation  after  the  race,  said  he  thought 
Iddie  C.  could  go  a  mile  in  2:20  if  it  was  asked  of  him. 

The  next  event  was  an  exhibition  by  three  of  J.  C 
Adams'  horses,  Maydello,  Sallie  Pointer  and  Custer. 
Maydello  won  the  race  though  it  was  an  exhibition 
rather  than  a  speed  contest.  The  first  half 'was 
ambled  along  at  an  easy  gait  but  the  last  half  was 
quite  fast  being  made  in  1:06$,  the  mile  being  2:30. 
The  last  quarter  was  made  in  30|  seconds.  It  was 
announced  previous  to  the  exhibition  that  there  had 
been  no  opportunity  for  warming  the  horses  up  so  no 
effort  would  be  made  to  speed  them  except  in  the  last 
half.    The  summaries:

C.  H.  Durfee  of  San  Jose,  received  a  carload  of 
mares  from  Los  Angeles  last  Monday  to  be  bred  to 
Coronado  2:12J.  Among  them  was  a  full  sister  to 
Eleata  2:08|,  a  fine  mare  called  Queen  S  by  Sable 
Wilkes  2:18,  and  Jessie  Madison  by  James  Madison, 
the  latter  now  in  foal  to  Petigru  2:10$.  The  Los 
Angeles  breeders  are  very  sweet  on  Coronado  as  a 
sire  and  well  they  may  be  as  his  colts,  the  oldest  of 
which  are  two-year-olds  are  showing  wonderful  speed, 
Mr.  I.  Mosher  has  a  22  months  old  Coronado  colt 
that  trotted  a  half  in  1:10$  with  the  last  three-eights 
in  51$  seconds  at  Los  Angeles  track  on  Tuesday  of 
last  week,  and  Will  Durfee  says  he  is  the  fastest 
trotter  he  has  ever  seen  for  the  amount  of  work  he 
has  had.  Four  other  Coronado  youngsters  have 
shown  2:20  speed  already  this  year.

A  Curious  Case. 


Sire  of  Race  Winners. 


In  1903,  Mr.  J.  Pettie,  a  horseman  of  New  Zealand, 
visited  California  and  purchased  several  trotters  and 
pacers  which  he  shipped  to  his  home,  and  has  raced 
on  the  New  Zealand  tracks  since.  Among  them  was 
the  black  mare  Norice  by  Chas.  Derby,  which  he 
purchased  from  Ed  Mills  and  Henry  Sanders  of  Pleas- 
anton,  who  had  a  short  time  previous  bought  her  from 
Chas.  Branin  of  San  Lorenzo.  Before  selling  her  to 
Mills  &  Sanders,  Mr.  Branin  had  nominated  Norice  in 
the  fall  races  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse 
Breeders  Association,  and  the  entrance  fee  had  not 
been  paid,  as  the  races  were  then  several  months  in 
the  future.  Mr.  Pettie  purchased  the  mare  and 
shipped  her  to  New  Zealand  before  the  Breeders  meet- 
ing was  held,  consequently  Norice  was  not  at  the 
time  of  her  shipment,  under  suspension.  When  the 
meeting  came  off  in  the  fall  Norice  being  in  the  an- 
tipodes, did  not  appear,  and  was  consequently  sus- 
pended together  with  Mr  Branin  for  non  payment  of 
entrance.  The  following  winter  the  New  Zealand 
Trotting  Association  and  the  National  Trotting  Asso- 
ciation of  America  entered  intoa  reciprocal  agreement 
by  which  the  suspension  and  expulsions  of  one  were 
to  be  recognized  by  the  other,  and  under  this  agree- 
ment Norice  was  held  up  in  New  Zealand  in  1904  and 
Mr.  Pettie  was  compelled  to  pay  the  amount  charged 
against  the  mare  in  America  before  he  could  again 
start  her.  Mr.  Branin  has  died  since  Mr.  Pettie  paid 
the  suspension  in  New  Zealand  and  there  does  not 
seem  to  be  any  way  by  which  Mr.  Pettie  can  secure 
the  return  of  his  money  although  it  does  seem  as  if  it 
is  a  hardship  to  make  him  pay  another's  debt.  Mr. 
Pettie  was  informed,  when  he  purchased  Norice  that 
she  was  not  suspended  and  that  was  true,  as  her  sus- 
pension was  not  made  until  after  she  reached  New 
Zealand.  At  the  last  meeting  of  the  New  Zealand 
Trotting  Association  a  letter  from  Mr.  Pettie  was 
read  in  which  he  claimed  he  was  not  getting  fair 
treatment  from  the  American  association,  but  was  in- 
formed that  everything  had  been  done  according  to 
rule  and  he  must  look  for  his  redress  to  the  parties 
from  whom  he  purchased  the  mare  As  these  parties 
were  not  the  nominators  of  Norice  in  any  of  her  races, 
they  cannot  be  held  for  any  suspension  charged 
against  her.  It  was  claimed  by  Mr. Branin,  before  his 
death,  that  when  he  sold  Norice  he  also  sold  her 
engagements,  and  Mr.  Pettie  claims  that  as  he  pur- 
chased the  mare  before  she  was  placed  under  sus- 
pension and  before  the  agreement  between  the 
National  and  the  New  Zealand  associations  went  into 
effect  that  he  is  the  victim  of  an  ex  xiost  facto  law.

The  Oak  wood  Park  Stock  Farm  breeds  and  sells 
many  good  horses  every  year  and  is  one  of  the  few 
remaining  great  breeding  farms  of  California.  It  is 
an  accommodation  to  the  small  breeders  of  California 
that  the  farm  permits  its  premier  stallion  Charles 
Derby  2:20  to  stand  for  public  service  and  owners  of 
well  bred  mares  should  remember  that  this  stallion  is 
one  of  the  best  sires  ever  produced  in  California. 
Charles  Derby  was  a  fast  trotter  as  a  colt  and  showed 
himself  a  game  race  horse  when  he  took  his  record  of 
2:20  as  a  five-vearold  in  the  sixth  heat  of  a  race.  In 
the  stud  he  has  been  a  great  success,  and  not  only 
sires  speed,  but  also  gets  size,  good  color  and  finish 
that  makes  his  sons  and  daughters  in  demand  for 
high  class  road  horses.  Charles  Derby  is  now  the 
sire  of  sixteen  2:15  performers,  and  among  them  are 
the  names  of  such  race  trotters  as  Dei  by  Princess 
2:08$,  Owyhee  2:11,  Dr.  Hammond  2:124  and  such 
whirlwind  pacers  as  Don  Derby  2:044,  Much  Better 
2:07£  and  Diablo  2Mb.  The  last  named  is  one  of  the 
great  speed  sires  of  California,  and  Saraway,  an  own 
brother  to  Charles  Derby  is  the  leading  sire  of 
Colorado,  being  the  sire  of  Winfield  Stratton  2:05! 
and  other  fast  ones. 

Charles  Derby's  breeding  is  very  choice.  His  sire 
is  Steinway,  a  great  sire  of  speed  and  himself  a  cham- 
pion colt  trotter,  having  held  the  world's  record  for 
three-year-olds.  The  dam  of  Charles  Derby  is  Katie 
G.  by  Electioneer,  one  of  the  great  broodmares  of 
California.  She  is  the  dam  of  Klatawah  2:05$, 
Katrinka  G.  2:14|,  Charles  Derby  2:20,  Sunlight  2:25, 
H.  R.  Covey  2:25  and  Steineer  2:294.  At  $50  the  sea- 
son Charles  Derby  should  be  largely  patronized. 


Every  horseman  is  ready  to  admit  now  that  the 
breeders  of  trotters  should  have  bred  for  style  and 
finish  years  ago  as  well  aB  for  Bpeed.  Had  this  been 
done  the  breed  of  trotters  would  have  been  much  im- 
proved over  what  it  is  today,  although  it  is  the  best 
and  most  profitable  breed  of  horses  in  the  world  at 
the  present  time.  In  selecting  stallions  for  your 
mares  this  year  pick  out  those  that  have  style  and 
finish  and  have  shown  the  ability  to  impart  those 
qualities  to  their  get.  Nutwood  Wilkes  is  one  of  this 
kind.  He  sires  all  the  speed  necessary,  and  has  sired 
the  fastest  trotting  stallion  of  all  the  Wilkes  tribe, 
but  in  addition  he  puts  such  finish  and  style  on  his 
get  that  they  attract  attention  in  any  company.  If 
you  don't  tnink  it  pays  to  breed  this  sort,  go  out  and 
try  to  buy  a  Nutwood  Wilkes  of  any  age. 


Breeding  Trotting  Horses  Is  Profitable. 

•  Mr.  L.  Green,  of  Indianola,  Illinois,  is  a  breeder  of 
trotting  horses,  and  makes  money  at  the  business. 
Here  are  a  few  of  his  ideas  as  related  to  the  editor  of 
the  Western  Horseman: 

"When  I  hear  a  trotting  horse  breeder  complain- 
ing of  a  lack  of  profit  in  the  business  I  at  once  know 
that  he  is  not  a  practical  man,  or  that  he  expects  the 
business  to  run  itself.  I  have  been  in  the  business  all 
my  life;  I  make  a  business  of  it;  I  depend  on  no  other 
source  of  income,  and  the  best  evidence  of  what  it 'has 
cost  me'  is  what  I  had  when  I  went  into  business  and 
what  I  have  got  now.  I  have  always  been  able  to  sell 
at  a  profit  all  I  could  breed  and  raise.  I  have  sold 
$13,000  worth  of  horses  this  winter,  and  have  refused 
close  to  $10,000  for  a 'green  one' which  I  have  left 
and  I  now  have  about  two  hundred  head  on  the  farm. 
No,  the  man  who  breeds  good  horses  at  a  loss  has 
only  himself  to  blame — certainly  not  the  business. 
But  it  is  no  use  to  invest  a  lot  of  money  in  a  business- — 
of  any  kind — and  then  expect  the  business  to  run  it- 
self at  a  profit.  If  I  were  to  buy  a  bank,  a  dry  goodB 
store,  a  saw  mill  or  an  automobile  factory  and  go  off 
and  leave  the  business  to  run  it6elf — like  a  great  many 
people  do  their  horse  business — I  guess  I  would 'go 
over  the  hills  to  the'— scrap  pile,  just  as  people  do 
who  leave  their  trotting  horse  business  to  run  itself. ' ' 
Mr.  Green  develops  a  lot  of  the  horses  he  raises,  but 
he  does  not  drop  into  the  foolish  notUn  that  a  trot" 
ting-bred  horse  is  good  for  nothing  unless  he  is  a  race 
horse.  Indeed,  ha  sells  standard-bred  trotters  by  the 
oarload  as  fast  roadsters,  carriage  horses  and  saddle 
horses.  If  a  gilt-edge  bred  trotter  shows  the  quality 
of  a  carriage  horse  he  fits  him  up  for  carriage  pur- 
poses, and  gets  a  big  price  for  him.  If  another  shows 
to  be  a  ready  and  hi£h-class  saddler,  under  the  saddle 
he  goes — and  in  comes  a  good  round  price.  He  says  a 
real  good  farm  horse  is  better  than  a  poor  trotter  or 
pacer — and  much  more  profitable — and  a  lot  of 
breeders  would  find  the  business  much  more  profit- 
able if  they  would  learn  these  things.  Not  all  trot- 
ting-bred  horseB  are  trotting  race  horscB,  but  practi- 
oally  every  one  of  them  is  "good  for  something"  if 
put  at  that  something  and  not  drilled  to  death  at  an 
expense  of  two  or  three  dollars  a  day  to  their  breeder 
in  futile  efforts  to  make  a  race  horse. 

Mr.  C.  L.  Powell  of  Pleasanton  has  sold  his  horse 
Santa  Rita  Boy  by  Diablo,  dam  a  Sidney  mare,  to 
Col.  J  •  C  Kirkpatrick  of  this  city.  Mr.  Powell  drove 
his  colt  in  one  of  the  races  held  at  Pleasanton  on 
Washington's  Birthday,  and  won  the  event,  the  best 
time  being  2:39  in  the  last  heat.  Col.  Kirkpatrick 
was  much  pleased  with  the  showing  made  by  the 
horse,  which  is  a  square  trotter,  and  on  learning  the 
price  asked  for  him  was  $400,  became  his  owner. 
Santa  Rita  Boy  came  the  last  quarter  of  the  last 
heat  of  his  race  in  35$  seconds.

Pleasanton  Track  Notes. 


Pleasanton,  March  2— The  famous  mile  track  of 
Pleasanton  is  as  busy  right  now  as  a  country  town  on 
circus  day,  and  the  fact  that  there  are  nearly  300 
trotters  and  pacers  in  training  there  gives  assurance 
that  some  lively  doings  in  the  way  of  speed  will  be 
witnessed  before  another  month  has  gone  by.  About 
two  score  of  trainers  can  be  seen  at  work  every  day, 
and  as  the  weather  for  the  past  month  has  been  ideal 
for  training,  all  of  the  horses  are  in  grand  shape 
although  no  sensational  miles  have  been  recorded 
yet.  Halves  in  1:05  are  common  occurrences  and 
quarters  in  30  seconds  are  frequent,  and  in  a  couple  of 
weeks  there  will  be  some  miles  worth  talking  about. 

The  stable  of  Jas.  Butler,  trained  by  Charley  De 
Ryder  and  his  brother  and  under  the  supervision  of 
Monroe  Salisbuuy,  probably  holds  the  center  of  the 
stage  as  it  contains  about  two  dozen  members,  and 
among  these  are  Consuela  S.  2:07J;  Ben  F.  2:09};  the 
trotting  mare  Izetta  2:131,  unbeaten  on  the  Great 
Western  Circuit  last  year;  Alfred  D.  2:12};  Boliver 
2:20}  and  Minter  2:281.  He  also  has  some  sensational 
green  ones  that  he  will  spring  on  the  boys  before  long 
and  probably  one  of  the  best  of  these  is  one  owned  by 
himself  which  he  calls  C.  K.  Hasey  by  Don  Derby 
2:04},  out  of  a  mare  by  Guide.  This  fellow  is  an  oily 
going  sidewheeler  and  this  morning  stepped  a  half  in 
1:04}  wit  h  such  ease  that  will  make  him  bear  watch- 
ing. The  fastest  mile  of  the  lot  has  been  in  2:13|  by 
a  green  pacing  mare  by  a  son  of  Richard's  Elecor, 
aad  everything  in  the  stable  have  been  miles  better 
than  2:25  with  some  lively  halves  and  quarters.  He 
has  the  unmarked  trotter  Telephone  by  Direct,  thai 
raced  on  the  California  Circuit  last  year,  which  he 
thinks  well  of  and  the  other  day  let  him  down  with  a 
half  in  1:051.  Mr.  Butler  arrived  from  the  East  to- 
night and  will  6pend  several  days  watching  the  horses 
in  their  work. 

J.  D.  Springer  has  been  going  along  slowly  with  his 
horses  and  the  fastest  work  by  any  of  them  was  be- 
hind the  handsome  big  six-year-old  bay  stallion 
Suomi  by  Zombro  out  of  Stam  B's  dam,  Belle  Medium, 
that  has  worked  a  mile  for  him  in  2:25,  with  a  half  in 
1:06J  and  the  green  trotter  Don  Z  by  Stam  B  has 
stepped  a  half  in  1 :08.  His  other  horses  Billy  Red  2:10, 
Miss  Idaho  2:11},  the  sensational  great  mare  Sonoma 
Girl  and  Argyle  (trial  2:13*  last  year)  by  Chas.  Derby 
are  working  well  and  will  be  heard  from  later. 

The  star  boarder  in  the  string  of  Farmer  Bunch  is 
the  wonderful  little  pacing  mare  Nance  O'Neil  2:09} 
by  Pilot  Prince  and  owned  by  Mr.  B  Croner.  This 
mire  is  hardly  more  than  a  vest  pocket  edition  of 
the  harness  horse  family  as  she  seems  no  bigger  than 
a  two-year-old  but  she  is  a  great  little  racing  machine 
and  is  seated  for  a  very  fast  mark  this  summer.  No 
fast  miles  have  been  asked  of  her  yet  but  she  can  step 
a  quarter  in  29  seconds  at  any  time  and  will  soon  be  in 
line  for  some  stiff  work.  Others  belonging  -to  Mr. 
Croner  are  Elmorine  by  Iris;  Hattie  Croner,  trial 
2:11}  by  Bay  Bird  out  of  a  sister  to  Flying  Jib  2:04  and 
Louise  Croner  by  Wildnut,  dam  Abbie2:26  by  Abbotts- 
ford.  Mr.  Bunch  has  two  fillies  belonging  to  Jas. 
Rea,  San  Jose  that  he  thinks  highly  of  and  both  are 
out  of  his  famous  mare  Much  Better  2:07}.  One  is 
called  Still  Better  by  Iran  Alto  2:11}  and  the  other 
is  the  two-year-old  Mrs.  Weller  by  McKlnney.  The 
0ther6  in  the  string  are  Petaluma  Girl  (5)  by  Lyn- 
wood  W.  dam  by  Anteeo, owned  by  J.  W.  Offutt,  Pet 
aluma;  Alto  Down  (3)  by  Iran  Alto,  dam  Elsie  Down 
by  Boodle,  owned  by  Mrs.  Bunch;  Joe  Reed,  a  three- 
year-old  pacer  by  McKinney,  owned  by  A.  L.  Reed;  a 
three  year-old  full  brother  to  Lady  Wa'.dstein  2:15, 
owned  by  Mr.  Niles  of  Eureka  and  a  six-year-old 
brother  to  Cavalier  2:1H  owned  by  J.  Listenstein. 

E.  A.  Servis  of  Durham  who  has  been  training  Ed- 
win S  2:08  and  the  green  pacer  Doctor  J  by  Doc  Hicks 
has  turned  them  over  to  F.  Chad  bourne  who  will  com- 
plete their  preparation.  Both  are  in  fine  fettle  and 
Edwin  S.  especially,  is  taking   his  work  in  line  shape 

George  A  Davis  has  some  youngsters  in  training 
and  one  that  he  likes  particularly  is  a  two-year-old 
black  colt  by  his  former  pride,  Rey  Direct  2:10.  He 
is  also  working  King  Willis  and  a  promising  two-year- 
old  colt  by  Chas   Derby. 

Mr.  D.  Lee,  of  New  York,  present  owner  of  the 
California  bred  Btallion  Rey  Direct  2:10,  and  Matt 
Laird  who  has  him  in  charge  at  Mansfield,  O.,  visited 
the  track  for  a  day  or  two  this  week  looking  for  some 
speed  prospects,  but  left  without  closing  aDy  deals. 

J.  i  Juinn  has  a  likely  lot  in  training  and  they  con- 
sist of  green  ones  with  the  exception  of  the  pacing 
mare  Nelly  R.  2:201  by  Wayland  W.  In  Dumont  S, 
he  las  a  full  brother  to  Sonoma  Girl  that  iB  a  grand 
looker  and  very  fast;  probably  one  of  the  best  of  the 
io'  is  Willmar,  a  green  trotter  that  worked  In  2:151  in 
three-year-old  form.  He  is  a  Btrong  made  big 
■   'ow  and  is  bred  to  go  the  route,  as  he  is  the  son  of 

V.ldnut,  dam  Sweet   Water  by  Stamboul,  grandam 
•lanzanita  by  Electioneer.    The  others  in  the  string 


are  Calamanca  (4)  by  McKinney,  dam  Rose  Russell  by 
Bay  Rose;  R.  W.  P.  by  Lynwood  W.  dam  by  Bay- 
wood;  Carakina  by  McKinney,  dam  Biscara  by  Direc- 
tor, and  Iris  (4)  by  Lynwood  W.  out  of  Maud   Ayres. 

Mr.  H.  Brace  has  several  good  ones  in  charge  of  W. 
R.  Johnson  and  the  star  of  the  lot  is  the  five-year-old 
stallion  Greco  by  McKinney,  out  of  Aileen  2:261,  by 
Anteeo,  grandam  Lou  Milton,  the  dam  of  Lou  Dillon 
1:58J.  He  has  shown  his  ability  to  trot  in  2:15  with 
very  little  work  and  is  a  great  prospect.  Sadi  Moor 
by  Guy  McKinney,  dam  Sadie  Moor  by  Grand  Moor 
and  Lady  Bug  by  Quintellas,  dam  Bessie  by  St.  Clair 
are  both  green  ones,  but  are  working  nicely. 

Morosco  2:12,  the  brown  trotting  gelding  by  Waj« 
land  W  ,  is  working  in  grand  style  for  I.  N.  Minor 
and  the  railbirds  consider  him  one  of  the  best  trotters 
at  the  track.  Fredericksburg  2:12,  in  the  same  stable, 
is  showing  a  lot  of  speed  and  should  do  in  his  class. 

The  most  interesting  happening  around  the  stable 
of  Al  McDonald  was  the  sale  of  Mr.  Murphy's  great 
mare  Briquette  by  Zombro  to  Joe  McGuire  of  Denver 
for  $5000,  but  there  are  said  to  be  more  of  this  kind 
in  the  same  stable  that  will  soon  be  heard  from. 

H.  H.  Dunlap  is  working  a  slick  going  green  pacer 
in  Harold  D.  by  Dexter  Prince,  out  of  Sunrise  II  by 
Gossiper  that  will  bear  watching.  He  has  been  a 
mile  in  2:19  and  a  quarter  in  32  seconds  with  such 
ease  that  he  is  regarded  as  a  sure  2:08  horse.  Mr. 
Dunlap  is  also  working  CorBicanna  (4j  by  Wildnut, 
out  of  Corsica  by  Dexter  Prince  and  two  other 
green  ones. 

Sam  Kerr,  who  was  second  trainer  for  Millard  San- 
ders, has  opened  a  public  stable  here  and  at  present 
has  a  half  dozen  green  ones  including  Sadie,  a 
promising  green  one;  a  three-year-old  filly  by  Black 
Prince  and  a  nice  going  gelding  by  Steinway. 

I.  L.  G.  Goodrich  is  working  some  high  claBS  green 
ones  for  Ed  Mills  and  among  the  number  are  Easter 
Direct  by  Direct  that  has  been  a  mile  in  2:15£,  and  a 
half  in  1:04;  Esther  Diablo,  a  daughter  of  Diablo  that 
has  trotted  a  mile  in  2:18,  last  half  in  1:06;  Der- 
bertha  by  Chas.  Derby,  and  a  couple  of  youngsters 
by  Searchlight  2:03}  and  Lecco  2:09|. 

Col.  Kirkpatrick's  stable,  in  charge  of  James 
Thompson,  is  headed  by  the  game  Strathway  gelding, 
John  Caldwell  2:11},  and  he  is  working  in  exception- 
ally good  shape  this  spring  and  has  been  an  easy  mile 
in  about  2:20,  with  a  quarter  in  32|  seconds.  He  is 
not  the  only  good  one  in  the  string,  however,  for 
there  are  over  a  dozen  green  ones  in  the  outfit,  and 
many  of  them  are  showing  up  exceptionally  well. 
Among  the  most  promising  are  La  Crecia,  a  four- 
year-old  pacer  by  Nazote  out  of  the  great  broodmare 
Lucyneer  2:27  by  Electioneer;  a  five-year-old  green 
trotter  by  James  Madison  that  has  worked  in  2:20; 
Albuta  by  Altivo,  dam  by  Advertiser,  that  paced  in 
2:10  last  year;  a  pacer  by  Cupid  out  of  the  dam  of 
Dione  2:07}  that  can  step  a  mile  in  2:20  and  has  alread  y 
shown  quarters  in  321  seconds;  a  chestnut  mare  by 
Mendocino,  dam  Elsie  by  Piedmont,  that  has  shown 
quarters  at  a  2:14  gait;  a  three-year-old  by  McKinney 
that  has  been  a  mile  in  2:30,  and  a  two-year-old  by  the 
same  sire  that  recently  paced  a  quarter  in  34} 
seconds. 

The  other  trainers  are  all  busy  and  I  will  have 
something  to  tell  of  their  horses  later  on.

Coming  to  His  Own. 

There  has  never  been  a  time  since  the  breed  became 
a  fixture  that  the  Morgan  horse  has  been  without  his 
special  pleader.  In  fact,  there  has  usually  been  many 
more  than  one  such  advocate.  Some  of  them  have 
gone  beyond  the  bounds  of  all  reason  in  their  en- 
thusiasm. But  that  can  be  pardoned  for  they  wer» 
upholding  the  claims  of  a  line  of  blood  that  has  done 
more,  perhaps,  in  proportion  to  its  opportunities  than 
any  other  that  has  been  used  in  forming  the  breed 
now  known  as  the  Trotting  Horse  of  America. 
Authorities  continue  to  differ  as  to  the  paternity  of 
Justin  Morgan,  founder  of  the  tribe.  But  whatever 
it  may  have  been  there  is  one  crowning  fact  in  con- 
nection with  him  and  that  is  that  whatever  his  an 
eestry  Justin  Morgan,  like  Hambletonian  10  and 
Mambrino  Chief  11  was  one  of  the  most  wonderful 
horses  of  history.  What  the  Morgan  tribe  might 
have  accomplished  without  the  aid  of  the  blood  of 
Hambletonian  and  Mambrino  Chief  is  a  matter  for 
speculation  only.  What  it  has  helped  to  do  is  of 
record.  If  one  were  to  make  a  list  of  the  2:10  trotters 
and  the  2:05  pacers  that  carry  a  part  of  the  blood  of 
the  Morgans  he  would  find  it  to  be  a  most  formidable 
one.  And  he  would  find  that  it  carried  the  names  of 
a  host  of  great  race  horses.  If  the  recent  testimony 
given  in  proof  of  the  claim  that  the  second  dam  of 
Lou  Dillon  was  sired  by  the  Morgan  horse  Black  Fly- 
ing Cloud  is  substantiated,  the  Morgan  advocates  will 
have  added  reason  for  swelling  up  with  pride. 

And  as  the  list  of  great   race  hones   that  inherit 


Morgan  blood  increases  one  can  but  feel  that  old 
Justin  Morgan  was  a  horse  immensely  above  the 
ordinary.  Fortunately,  while  there  has  ueen  no  wide- 
spread effort  to  maintain  the  breed  in  its  purity,  our 
trotting  horse  breeders,  for  one  reason  or  another, 
have  used  a  great  deal  of  the  blood,  in  many  cases  to 
great  advantage.  What  would  have  been  done  with- 
out it  can  never  be  told,  but  if  there  is  any  doubt  as 
to  what  has  been  done  with  it,  that  doubt  will  be  re- 
moved by  reference  to  the  list  of  fast  harness  per- 
formers. In  this  connection  mention  of  the  work  of 
Joseph  Battell,  in  the  compilation  and  publication  of 
the  history  of  the  Morgan  Horse  should  not  be  omitted . 
Mr.  Battell's  work  was  almost  entirely  a  labor  of  love 
and  enthusiasm.  Fortunately  for  him  and  the  horse 
history,  he  is  a  gentleman  of  means  and  he  went  about 
his  task  in  no  niggardly  fashion.  The  result,  so  far, 
is  one  volume,  and  I  understand  another  is  about  to 
be  issued  filled  from  cover  to  cover  with  information 
of  immense  value,  nearly  all  of  it  accurate,  and  which 
but  for  him  might  never  have  been  at  the  disposal  of 
the  student  of  breeding.  The  Morgan  horse  has  his 
place  in  trotting  horse  history  a  place  that  be  attained 
through  sheer  force  of  merit,  and  while  he  may  have 
been  over-praised  by  certain  of  our  good  friends,  there 
is  no  denying  the  fact  that  he  has  proved  himself  far 
better  than  his  one-time  opponents  would  have  had 
us  believe  he  was.  In  these  days  of  practical  horse- 
men there  is  less  tribe  worship  than  formerly  obtained. 
But  the  Morgans,  like  all  others  of  merit,  have  come 
to  their  own.  Their  place  in  history  is  as  permanent 
as  it  is  eminent. — Ky.  Stock  Farm.

On  the  front  page  of  this  isBue  is  printed  a  half  tone 
reproduction  from  a  photograph  of  the  Btallion  Monte- 
sol,  owned  by  Pat  Foley  of  Alameda.  Montesol  is  not 
only  a  good  looking  and  good  gaited  trotter,  but  he  is  a 
well  bred  one.  His  dam  is  the  registered  mare  Igo  by 
Antevolo  2 :!9}.i,  second  dam  Daisy  May  by  Nutwood, 
third  dam  the  Ralston  mare  by  Alexander's  Abdallah 
and  fourth  dam  by  Lexington.  Montesol  has  never 
been  trained  for  a  record,  but  his  full  sister  Lady  Gran- 
nard  took  a  record  of  2 :23  with  little  work,  and  he  haa 
shown  more  speed  than  she  ever  did  He  is  a  well  pro- 
portioned stallion,  bay  with  black  points  and  iB  a  sure 
foal  getter.  Mr.  Foley  can  show  several  of  Montesol's 
colts  to  prospective  breeders  and  invites  those  inter- 
ested in  good  horseflesh  to  call  at  Mb  place  at  the  Ala- 
meda track  and  look  over  his  stock.  The  combination 
of  McKinney,  Electioneer,  Nutwood  and  thoroughbied 
blood  in  Montesol  ia  not  to  be  overlooked  when  in 
search  of  a  sire  of  speed. 


Care  ot  Colts. 


Many  people  seem  to  have  a  notion,  says  an  ex- 
change, that  if  a  horse  is  to  be  tough,  rugged,  and 
wiry  it  must  endure  hardships  during  colthood. 
Others  have  an  idea  that  nothing  is  too  good  for  a 
well  bred  colt  and  therefore  it  should  be  kept  closely 
stabled  and  blanketed  in  the  winter  season.  It  is 
difficult  to  tell  which  of  these  is  the  worst  nonsense. 
Let  us  see  what  is  required:  In  the  case  of  the  wean- 
ling the  foundation  is  being  laid.  If  the  plan  of  the 
architect  ia  to  be  carried  out,  the  colt  must  have 
abundant  nourishment,  mainly  albuminous,  such  as 
oats  and  alfalfa  hay  with  more  or  less  grain  during 
the  winter.  To  give  this  colt  a  kind  of  balancing 
ration  and  keep  it  tied  up  in  the  stable  is  absolutely 
cruelty.  In  this  country  every  colt  may  have  abund 
ant  exercise  in  the  sunlight  and  open  air  all  winter. 
It  is  folly  to  hamper  a  colt  as  well  as  to  stunt  it  by 
submitting  it  to  hard  conditions. — Exchange.

$  THOROUGHBREDS.  j 

The  lower  house  of  Missouri  last  Tuesday  passed 
a  bill  prohibiting  betting  on  horse  races  by  a  vote  of 
116  to  9.  The  stealing  of  the  original  measure  was  a 
boomerang  that  struck  the  track-owners  hard  and 
that  the  Senate  will  now  pass  the  prohibitory  law  is 
certain.  This  is  severe  on  the  people  whe  put  up  the 
money  for  the  brand  -new  Elm  Ridge  and  Union  plants, 
the  first  named  costing  over  8400,000,  the  latter  over 
$200,000.  Had  there  been  those  at  the  helm  of  the 
racing  craft  in  Missouri  with  less  of  hoggishnesa  in 
their  hearts,  the  breeding  interests  in  that  State 
would  not  have  been  destroyed.  The  cause  for  this 
legislative  action  dates  back  but  little  more  than  a 
year,  or  when  Patrick  J.  Carmody  asked  for  thirty 
day's  dates  of  the  Western  Jockey  Club  in  which 
Cella,  Adler  and  Tilles  of  St.  Louis  are  the  "big  guns," 
along  with  John  Condon.  The  Western  Jockey  Club 
had  told  Carmody  to  go  ahead  and  build  his  track  on 
the  right  or  prescribed  lines,  form  bis  jockey  club  with 
responsible  men  in  the  directorate,  and  that  dates 
would  undoubtedly  be  granted.  Notwithstanding, 
Manager  Carmody  met  all  the  requirements  of  the  W. 
J.  C,  he  was  turned  down  by  that  body  and  given  to 
understand  he  would  never  be  granted  dates.  Then, 
began  a  hitter  turf  war  in  the  city  of  St.  Louis,  the 
sympathy  of  the  people  being  not  with  Carmody,  who 
had  clearly  been  badly  treated  by  the  racing  trust  of 
the  Middle  West.  Both  sides  lost  vast  sums  of  money 
as  is  always  the  case  in  the  turf  wars,  and  then  when 
Ed.  Corrigan  became  dissatisfied  with  the  manner  in. 
which  the  Western  Jockey  club  was  conducted,  and 
formed  the  American  Jockey  Club  to  remedy 
troubles  like  Carmody's  and  others,  the  Missouri  Leg- 
islature steps  in  and  killed  the  goose  that  had  been 
laying  the  golden  eggs.  The  Cella,  Adler  &  Tilles 
combination  wanted  to  secure  all  the  eggs  in  that  sec- 
tion, and  the  Governor  of  the  State  having  "a  bone  to 
pick"  with  one  of  their  chief  lieutenants,  Harry 
Hawes,  clubbed  Cella,  Adler  &  Tilles  over  the  big 
politician's  shoulders.  If  it  is  ever  proven  (there  is  a 
reward  $10,000  for  his  apprehension)  it's  my  opinion 
that  the  St.  Louis  track  magnates  will  be  found  at 
the  bottom  of  this  bill-stealing,  and  it  would  be  inter- 
esting to  know  just  how  much  the  State  Auditor  re- 
ceived late  last  July  for  refusing  Carmody  a  license  to- 


run  ninety  days  longer. .  The  Cella,  Adler  &  Tilles 
crowd  are  big  book-makers  and  undoubtedly  take 
first  prize  at  a  dressed  pork  show,  for  they  were  not 
satisfied  with  the  immense  revenues  derived  from 
running  three  race  tracks  in  St.  Louis  without  oppo- 
sition, but  must  squeeze  out  more  coin  through  a 
channel  that  brought  to  them  anything  but  "honor- 
able mention."  This  firm,  however,  have  "got  theirs," 
having  made  perhaps  $1,500,000  each  in  the  past  half- 
dozen  years  and  having  it  invested  in  street-car  lines 
and  real  estate  that  Is  sure  to  increase  in  value, 


and  San  Francisco  The  State  Fair  used  to  be  a  pay- 
ing proposition,  and  now  that  the  pavilion  and  race 
track  will  be  on  the  State's  grounds,  and  not  widely 
scattered,  as  in  years  past,  there  is  all  the  more  reason 
to  look  for  success.  People  will  willingly  pay  a  dollar 
to  see  "the  big  show,"  and  if  properly  managed  there 
should  be  financial  as  well  as  artistic  success  at  the 
yearly  farmers'  jubilee. 


My  idea  is  that  we  Bhall  see  the  day,  and  it  is  not  a 
far-distant  one,  either,  when  every  important  State 
in  the  Union  will  have  its  Racing  Commission,  and 
the  Commissioners  will  have  the  power  to  fix  dates  for 
racing  in  their  particular  territory.  That  racing 
nine  months  in  a  year  is  "too  much  of  a  good  thing" 
and  takes  it  out  of  the  list  of  "sports"  and  places  it 
under  the  head  of  "business, "is  plain  to  any  think- 
ing person.  When  one  considers  that  race  tracks 
hereabouts  earn  about  $2000  per  racing  day  for  their 
owners  and  that  this  money  goes  into  the  pockets  of 
the  stockholders  and  out  of  the  pockets  of  the  people 
who  support  racing,  that  perhaps  another  $3000  is 
really  lost  by  bettors  each  racing  day,  or  a  total  los3 
of  $5000,  and  that  we  have  about  one  hundred  and 
sixty-five  days  of  racing  around  San  Francisco  each 
season,  it  stands  to  reason  that  "the  plain  people" 
who  pay  their  $1.50  at  the  gate  should  have  more 
time  to  recover  from  the  shock  of  losing  $725,000  each 
season  than  they  have.  It  is  to  the  interest  of  track 
owners  not  to  kill  "the  game"  as  did  Cella,  Adler  & 
Tilles  in  Missouri,  and  I  would  like  to  see  a  Racing 
Commission  in  every  State,  one  composed  of  men 
above  reproach  and  who  have  the  best  interests  of 
racing  and  breeding  at  heart.  As  bookmakers  are  at 
the  bottom  of  the  crash  in  turf  affairs  in  Missouri  and 
after  the  dollars  only,  generally  caring  little  by  what 
means  they  are  secured,  it  would  be  a  good  idea  lo 
"cut  out"  booking  operations  in  this  State  and  put  in 
the  totalizator,  which  does  not  "fix"  riders  to  "pull" 
heavily  played  horses,  but  does  do  away,  at  one  fell 
■swoop,  with  nine-tenths  of  the  crookedness  prevalent 
on  the  turf  as  now  conducted.  I  believe  the  State 
Fair,  with  the  totalizator  in  operation  instead  of  hav- 
ing the  betting  conducted  by  "skindicate"  book- 
makers who  have  not  the  "entire  confidence"  of  the 
racing  public,  could  be  made  thoroughly  self-sustain- 
ing, just   as   much   so   as  the  meetings  at  Los  AngeltB 


W.  J.  Holpin,  of  Concord,  Contra  Costa  county, 
has  just  purchased  of  H.  Glover  the  brown  Irish 
horse,  Sagittarius,  by  The  Deemster  (son  of  Arbi- 
trator) out  of  Lady  Shot,  a  great  broodmare.  Sagit- 
tarius will  be  an  outcross  for  any  of  Mr.  Holpin's 
mares,  and  as  he  is  a  magnificent  individual  standing 
about  16  3  hands,  much  is  exptcted  of  the  horse  as  a 
sire,  for  he  comes  from  the  same  male  line  as  did  the 
unbeaten  Irish  horse,  Barcaldine,  also  imp.  Ogden, 
winner  of  The  Futurity,  and  is  bred  on  most  fat  bion- 
able  lines. 

I  wish  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  a  copy  of  "The 
American  Thoroughbred,"  of  which  Capt.  ThomasB. 
Merry  is  the  author.  This  work  is  the  result  of  nearly, 
if  not  quite,  a  century  of  research,  and  as  the  Captain 
has  a  most  retentive  memory  and  a  very  "taking" 
style  of  writing,  "The  American  Thoroughbred" 
should  be  read  by  every  breeder  as  well  as  every  rac- 
ing man  in  the  land,  for  the  latter,  after  perusal, 
would  not  fill  his  stable  with  galloperB  from  families 
that  never  gave  to  the  world  anything  but  ordinary 
"platers"  and  the  breeder  would,  in  the  Kentucky 
vernacular,  "know  where  he  was  at"  much  better 
than  if  he  had  "trusted  to  luck."  There's  too  much 
of  the  latter  noticable,  especially  in  a  business  where 
so  much  capital  iB  required. 

Jockey  McBride's  contract  has  just  been  purchased 
by  Max  D.  Miller  for  $5000.  As  it  has  about  two  and 
one-half  years  to  run  and  the  boy  bids  fair  to  make  a 
"classy"  rider,  the  sum  paid  does   not  look  excessive. 


The  stewards  of  the  N.  C.  J.  C  .  have  suspended 
M.  J.  Daly  and  Jockey  W.  Daly  for  thirty  days  for 
the  sudden  "goodness"  of  Gallopcff.  The  colt  ran  a 
number  of  very  poor  races  and  all  at  once  he  was 
played  heavily  and  came  close  to  winning  over  a  good 
field.  C.  C.  McCafferty's  Major  Mansir  was  barred 
for  in-and-out  running,  and  will  not  be  allowed  to 
start  in  the  Waterhouse  Cup  or  the  Thornton  Stakes, 
in  which  he  was  thought  to  have  a  royal  chance  cf 
winning.  

Among  the  good  races  of  the  week  were  Arabo's 
six  and  one-half  furlongs  in  1:19J,  108  lb6  up.  School- 
mates's  one  and  one-quarter  miles  in  2:06|  with  109 
lbs  up  and  Pickaway's  five  and  one-half  furlongsin 
1:074,  101  lbs.  All  these  marks  were  made  last  Tues- 
dayT  Ralph  H.  Tozer.

The   Cook  Inlet  Region,  Alaska. 


A  paper  on  the  natural  history  of  this  region  by 
Wilfred  H.  Osgood,  has  been  recently  issued  by  the 
U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture,  Division  of  Biological 
Survey.  Extracts  from  the  same,  such  as  are  likely  to 
be  of  interest  to  sportsmen  are  given  below.  Now  that 
transportation  facilities  are  of  greater  convenience 
than  formerly  and  the  saving  of  time  thereby  is  a  de- 
sirable factor,  a  hunting  trip  to  Alaskan  points  is  now 
within  the  rather  easy  accomplishment  of  the  individ- 
ual sportsman  or  a  party  who  can  spend  the  time  for 
an  excursion  to  the  far  North. 

The  region  about  Cook  Inlet  was,  at  the  beginning 
of  the  field  season  of  1900,  the  only  general  district  of 
consequence  on  the  Pacific  Coast  of  Alaska  that  had 
not  been  recently  visited  by  naturalists.  The  import- 
ant bearing  which  collections  from  this  region  would 
have  on  problems  connected  with  the  general  natural 
history  of  Alaska  was  strongly  realized,  and,  accord- 
ingly, after  the  completion  of  work  on  the  coast  farth- 
er South,  I  was  directed  to  proceed  to  Cook  Inlet 
and  make  as  thorough  a  biological  reconnoissance  of 
the  region  as  time  and  circumstances  would  permit. 
On  this  trip,  as  earlier  in  the  season,  I  had  the  effici- 
ent assistance  of  Edmund  Heller.  We  entered  the 
region  Aug.  21st  making  stops  of  a  few  hours  each  at 
Seldovia  and  Homer  on  the  southwestern  end  of  the 
Kenai  Peninsula.  From  Homer  we  continued  up  the 
inlet  and  into  Turnagain  Arm  and  landed  at  the  min- 
ing camp  of  Hope  City,  Aug.  23.  The  lower  coast 
country  about  Hope  occupied  us  until  Aug.  31,  when  we 
moved  on  into  the  mountains  at  the  bead  of  the  Bear 
Creek,  a  medium-sized  stream  that  empties  into  Turn- 
again  arm  near  Hope  A  week  later  we  left  Turna- 
gain arm  for  the  northwest  side  of  the  inlet  at  Tyonek, 
and  there  spent  the  remaining  time  from  Sep.  13  to 
Sept.  28.  From  this  it  may  be  seen  that  most  of  the 
work  was  done  in  but  two  general  localities,  the  vicin- 
ity of  Hope  and  the  vicinity  of  Tyonek.  Short  stops 
at  Seldovia,  Homer,  Kenai  and  Sunrise  however, 
were  of  considerable  vnlue  and  information  received 
fro  n  prospectors  gave  some  general  information  about 
Knik  and  Sushitna  districts.  If  more  time  had 
available  it  couid  doubtless  have  been  spent 
j  ratably  in  these  districts.    The  vicinity  of  Seldovia 

lso  seemed  promising,  but  we  were  obliged  to  pass  it 


by  on  our  way  into  the  inlet  and  could  not  return  to  it- 
Cook  Inlet  is  the  first  important  indentation  of  the 
Alaskan  coast  east  of  the  Alaska  Peninsula.  It  is  a 
long;  narrow  inlet,  bifurcated  at  its  upper  end  into 
two  large  arms,  Knik  arm  and  Turnagain  arm.  The 
first  of  these,  Knik  arm,  is  about  fifteen  miles  long, 
and  its  upper  end  receives  the  waters  of  a  large 
stream,  the  Matanuska.  The  other,  Turnagain  ar_n, 
is  thirty  miles  or  more  in  length,  and  extends  inland 
until  within  about  five  miles  of  the  waters  of  Prince 
William  sound  West  of  Knik  arm  is  the  delta  of  the 
Sushitna  i  iver,  the  largest  stream  flowing  into  the  in- 
let. South  of  Turnagain  arm,  and  connected  with 
the  mainland  only  by  the  five  miles  of  glacier  between 
the  head  of  the  arm  and  Prince  William  sound,  is  the 
Kenai  Peninsula.  Numerous  relatively  small  streams 
enter  both  sides  of  Turnagain  arm  and  both  sides  of 
the  main  inlet  as  well,  so  that  in  addition  to  the  great 
volume  receiveJ  from  the  Sushitna  there  is  a  large 
secondary  supply  of  fresh  water.  This  abundance  of 
fresh  water,  much  of  which  carries  quantities  of  silt  in 
suspension,  makes  the  inlet  suitable  for  an  extensive 
marine  fauna.  The  tides  are  very  strong  and  the  rise 
and  fall  very  great,  particulrrly  in  Knik  and  Turn- 
again  arms,  where  the  flood  is  accompanied  by  a  bore. 
Navigation  by  either  large  or  small  craft  is  difficult 
and  often  dangerous. 

Except  in  Turnagaia  arm,  the  country  bordering 
Cook  Inlet  is  low  and  comparatively  level,  though 
high  mountains  from  ten  to  sixty  miles  inland  can  be 
seen  on  all  sides.  The  upper  end  of  the  main  inlet,  in 
the  region  of  the  Sushitna  delta,  is  of  course  low  and 
more  or  less  swampy.  The  east  shore  along  the 
Kenai  Peninsula,  from  the  mouth  of  Turnagain  arm 
nearly  to  Kaehemak  bay, is  also  low  andcomparatively 
flat,  but  it  is  for  the  most  part  heavily  wooded.  The 
northwest  side  from  Mount  Sushitna,  near  the  mouth 
of  the  Sushitna  river,  westward  for  nearly  100  miles, 
consists  of  a  slightly  rolling  coastal  plain,  varying 
possibly  from  twenty  to  sixty  miles  in  width.  This 
country  is  broken  here  and  there  by  rather  sluggish 
streams,  most  of  which  head  in  the  mountains  farther 
back  or  in  the  small  lakes  which  abound  between  the 
coast  and  tne  mountains.  The  small  trading  station 
and  village  of  Tyonek  is  situated  on  a  low  sandspit  at 
the  base  of  this  plain  about  twenty  miles  west  of  the 
mouth  of  the  Sushitna.  About  Turnagain  arm  the 
mountains  reach  the  coast,  and  except  for  a  few  small 
tide  flats  at  the  mouths  of  relatively  narrow  valleys, 
the  shore  is  steep.  Hope  City,  in  the  vicinityof  which 
our  work  in  Turnagain  arm  was  done,  is  situated  at 
the  mouth  of  Resurrection  creek,  a  stream  of  suffi- 
cient size  to  have  made  quite  a  wide  cut  through  the 
mountains.  On  each  side  of  Resurrection  creek  rug- 
gad  mountains  rise  to  an  altitude  of  5000  feet  or  more, 
and  from  their  canyons  many  small,  rushing  streams 
pour  into  Resurrection  creek  or  Turnagain  arm  near 
Hope.  Bear  creek  and  Palmer  creek,  which  come 
from  the  east  side,  are  the  most  important  of  these. 

Although  the  region  north  and  east  of  Cook  Inlet  is 
exceedingly  mountainous  and  quite  imperfectly 
known,  it  is  evident  that  there  is  a  gap  of  some  conse- 
quence between  the  Coast  or  St.  Elias  range,  which 
practically  culminates  in  the  upper  Matanuska  region, 
and  the  so-called  Alaskan  range  which  lies  north  and 
northwest  of  the  inlet  and  includes  the  the  lofty  peak 
of  Mount  McKinley.  The  effectiveness  of  this  gap  in 
its  relation  to  the  geographic  distribution  of  animals 
and  plants  is  of  great  interest. 

The  flora  of  the  Cook  Inlet  region  is  quite  different 
iD  its  general  character  from  that  of  the  coast  farther 
south,  although  many  species  are  common  to  both 
regions.  The  difference  is  largely  in  the  reduction  of 
the  number  of  coniferous  trees  in  the  Cook  Inlet 
region  and  the  corresponding  increase  in  deciduous 
trees;  but  other  features  somewhat  transitional  be- 
tween the  heavy  saturated  forest  of  the  southern 
coast  and  the  treeless  tundra  of  the  north  are 
numerous.  The  flora  of  the  mountainous  district 
aboutTurnagain  arm  is,  of  course,  different  from  that 
of  the  coastal  plains  of  other  parts  of  the  inlet.  The 
low  country  near  Hope  consists  of  a  grassy  tide  flat, 
about  fifty  acres  in  extent,  and  a  few  miles  of  forest 
and  occasional  small  swamps  along  the  lower  part  of 
Resurrection  creek.  Balsam  poplars,  paper  birches, 
alders  and  willows  abound  near  the  streams,  and 
spruces  (Picea  canadensis  and  Picea  sitchensis)  and 
hemlocks  [Tsuga  merteusiana)  are  common  on  the 
slopes  and  slightly  elevated  flats.  A  third  species  of 
spruce  {Picea  mariana)  is  found  in  the  small  peat  bogc, 
where  smaller  Hudsonian  plants,  such  as  Labrador 
tea  [Ledum)!  crowberry  (Epetrum),  and  dwarf  birch 
{Betula  grandulosa)  are  in  profusion.  The  hemlock  is 
much  tne  most  abundant  ol  the  large  trees,  but  it  is 
exceeded  in  individual  size  by  the  Bpruce.  The  coni- 
fers a=cend  the  mountain  slopes  to  about  2000  feet, 
but  above  that  point  rapidly  disappear  Beyond  this 
elevation  are  alder  thickets,  small  patches  of  dwarf 
willows  and  birches,  and  vast  stretches  of  waving 
grass  from  one  to  three  feet  high.  Still  higher,  the 
slopes  and  rounded  backs  of  the  ridges  are  cushioned 
with  a  mass  of  heather  and  heather-like  shrubs, 
chiefly  Eynpetrum  nigrum.  This  extends  up  to  an  ap- 
proximate altitude  of  5000  feet,  above  which  there  is 
very  little  or  no  plant  growth.  The  whole  country  is 
characterized  ^y  the  abundance  of  high  grass;  other- 
wise it  is  a  typical  Hudsonian  Alpine  region. 

The  flora  on  the  northwest  side  of  the  inlet  in  the 
vicinity  of  Tyonek  is  somewhat  different  in  char- 
acter. With  the  exception  of  considerable  areas  oc- 
cupied by  lakes  and  peat  bogs,  the  whole  country  is 
covered  with  comparatively  open  forest.  Deciduous 
trees  greatly  outnumber  conifers,  of  which  but  two 
species  occur.      Picea  canadensis  and  Picea  mariana, 


and  one  of  these,  P.  mariana  is  quite  rare  and  local. 
The  paper  birch  (Betula  papyrifeia)  is  by  far  the 
most  abundant  tree,  and  next  id  rank  are  the  pop- 
lars, of  which  there  are  two  species,  Populus  balsami- 
fera  and  Pupulus tremuhtdes.  Alders  ana  willows  are 
found  along  the  streams  and  sparingly  through  the 
forest.  The  underbrush  is  not  heavy,  it  consists 
mainly  of  Menziesia  and  Viburnum,  with  an  occasional 
clump  of  devil's  club  [JScfivnopanax)  iD  wet  places. 
Long  grass  grows  luxuriantly  in  numerous  pretty 
open  glades  in  the  birch  woods.  The  September  as- 
spect  of  the  forest  is  very  attractive.  From  a  little 
distance  the  birches  on  the  low,  rolliDg  slopes  appear 
as  a  mass  of  golden  and  rusty  yellow,  punctured  here 
and  there  by  the  dark  green  spruce  tops.  The  foliage 
of  the  smaller  plants,  such  as  Viburnum,  Comus, 
Bibes  and  EpiJobium,  is  bright  red  and  adds,  greatly 
to  the  general  effect.  On  the  whole,  it  reminds  one 
very  much  of  the  autumn  woods  of  New  England  and 
is  quite  unlike  anything  I  have  seen  elsewhere  in 
Alaska. 

The  mammals  of  the  Cook  Inlet  region  are  essen- 
tially the  same  as  those  of  the  interior  of  Alaska. 
Nearly  all  the  species  of  the  lower  Yukon  valley  are 
found  among  thtm,  and  none  show  any  marked 
peculiarities  not  possessed  in  their  interior  habitat. 
With  the  exception  of  widely  distributed  species,  such 
as  the  black  bear,  no  species  are  common  to  the  Cook 
Inlet  region  and  the  Sitkan  region.  Thus,  while  the 
mammals  of  Cook  Inlet  are  not  peculiar  to  the  region, 
the  mammal  fauna,  as  a  whole,  is  peculiar,  as  con- 
trasted with  that  of  the  coast  fuither  south.  Con- 
sidering the  latitude,  both  large  and  small  mammals 
are  numerous  ia  species  as  well  as  individuals.  Moose, 
bear  aDd  mountain  sheep  are  the  principal  big  game, 
and  although  they  have  already  been  hunted  to  a 
considerable  extent,  it  is  probable  that  they  are 
more  abundant  than  in  any  equally  accessible  place  in 
North  America.  Fur-bearing  animals  are  well  repre- 
sented, but,  as  elsewhere  in  the  North,  have  been 
much  reduced  in  numbers.  The  smaller,  less  con 
spicuous  mammals  are  such  as  are  generally  found 
throughout  northern  Alaska  and  are  well  represented 
on  account  of  the  varied  conditions  offered  by  the 
mountains  of  the  Kenai  Peninsula  and  the  low  country 
on  the  northwest  side  of  the  inlet. 

Birds  are  found  in  great  numbers.  Owing  to  the 
lateness  of  the  season  at  the  time  of  our  arrival  in  the  ' 
inlet,  those  seen  were  permanent  residents  or  fall 
stragglers,  the  summer  residents  beirg  missed  almost 
entirely.  Land  birds,  with  the  exception  of  grouse, 
which  were  fairly  common,  were  not  numerous  in 
species  or  individuals  Water  birds,  particularly  lit- 
toral or  semi-pelagic  forms,  are  noticeably  uncrmmcn 
probably  on  account  of  the  brakish  water  of  the  inlet 
and  the  comparative  absence  ol  marine  invertebralf  s. 
Ducks  and  geese,  however,  and  birds  which  feed  in 
fresh  water  are  locally  quite  abundant.  As  in  the 
case  of  the  mammals,  no  birds  are  peculiar  to  the 
Cook  Inlet  region,  but  several  interior  species  are 
found  which  do  not  occur  on  the  Alaskan  coast  eoulh 
of  Cook  Inlet. 

The  mammals  of  the  Cook  Inlet  region  which  inter- 
est sportsmen  are: 

Alaska  Moose.— According  to  report  the  moose  has 
but  recently  appeared  in  the  Cook  Inlet  region;  the 
older  Indians  say  no  moose  were  there  when  they 
were  boys;  and  even  within  the  memory  of  white  men 
it  has  moved  westward,  now  beiDg  known  as  far  out 
on  the  Alaska  Peninsula  as  Katmai.  It  is  quite  com- 
mon in  many  places  about  Cook  Inlet,  but  is  hunted 
most  successfully  in  the  Koik  district,  aDd  od  the 
north  shore  of  the  Kenai  Peainsula,  from  Kussilof  and 
Fort  Kenai  to  Point  Possession  at  the  mouth  of 
Turnagain  arm.  A  few  Indians  huDt  moose  here 
practically  all  the  year  round,  making  a  living  by 
selling  the  meat  in  the  mining  camps  of  Hope  and 
Sunrise.  Several  carcasses  were  brought  in  during 
our  6tay.  and  the  meat  was  quickly  sold  at  10  cents  a 
pound.  On  the  north  west  side  of  the  inlet  moose  are 
less  common  than  on  uhe  Kenai  Peninsula,  but  occur 
sparingly 

Stone's  Caribou.— Caribou  are  rare  on  the  Kenai 
Peninsula.  I  saw  a  pair  of  weather-beaten  antlers 
said  to  have  been  picked  up  on  the  peninsula  side 
near  the  mouth  of  Turnagain  arm,  aDd  heard  the 
unsatisfactory  report  of  the  killing  of  a  large  buck, 
but  beyond  this  could  obtain  no  evidence  of  the 
animal's  occurrence  in  this  region  near  the  coast. 
Mr.  Stone,  who  secured  the  type  of  the  species,  also 
received  reliable  reports  of  the  occurrence  of  caribou 
in  the  southern  and  western  part  of  the  Kenai  Penin- 
sula, but  stated  that  they  are  "already  very  scarce 
and  will  doubtless  soon  be  exterminated."  Two 
specimens,  male  and  female,  shot  by  Harry  E.  Lee  on 
the  Kenai  Peninsula,  have  been  recorded  by  D.  G. 
Elliot  They  are  more  or  less  common  a  short 
distance  in  the  interior  and  are  often  killed  near  the 
Sushitna  river,  whence  their  skiDS  are  brought  to  the 
coast  to  be  traded.  The  characters  which  distiDguish 
Stone's  caribou  from  the  mountain  caribou  (Banqijer 
montanus)  seems  to  be  slight,  and  the  claim  of  stonei 
to  full  specific  rank  has  been  questioned.  The  state- 
ment in  this  connection  that  "it  is  very  evident  that 
our  knowledge  of  western  and  northwestern  caribou 
is  very  imperfect  and  unsatisfactory,  our  material 
having  been  altogether  insufficient  is  not  only  true, 
but  should  be  very  significant;  for  if  more  specimens 
of  this  rare  animal  are  not  obtained  for  our  museums 
in  the  near  future,  the  question  of  its  specific  distinct- 
ness may  never  be  decided  beyond  question. 

Alaska  Mountain  Goat— I  could  obtain  do  evideDce 
of  the  occurrence  of  goats  on  any  part  of  the  Kenai 
Peninsula  but  I  learned  from  T.  W.  Hanmore,  who 
has  been  the  Alaska  Commercial  Company's  agent  at 
Tyonek  for  the  past  eleven  years,  that  a  small  baDd  is 
known  to  inhabit  a  district  between  the  headwaters 
of  the  Knik  aod  Matanuska  rivers.  M«\  Harmore 
knows  the  animals  thoroughly  and  says  he  has  seen 
skins  and  horns  from  this  place  and  often  heard  of 
them  from  the  Indians  who  huht  in  that  vicinity.  As 
far  as  I  can  learn,  this  is  the  northernmost  occurrence 
of  the  mountain  goat,

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  will  hold  the  initial  club 
blue  rock  shoot  for  this  season,  at  Ingleside  tomorrow. 


The  Union  Gun  Club  will  open  the  club  trap   shoot- 
ing season  at  Ingleside  on  Sunday,  March  19th. 


The  annual  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trap 
Shooting  Association  last  Saturday  evening  was 
largely  attended  by  local  sportsmen  and  delegates 
from  interior  points. 

It  was  decided  to  hold  the  association  blue  rock 
tournament  this  year  at  Ingleside.  The  dates  fixed 
are  May  28,  29  and  30. 

The  program  for  the  three  days'  shoot  as  outlined 
at  t,he  meeting  will  embrace  eight  events  each  day. 
Three  20  target  contests  each  forenoon  and  three  20- 
target  contests  on  each  afternoon  Besides  the  six 
regular  events,  there  will  be  a  consolation  race  and  a 
team  prize  shoot,  20  targets  each.  The  added  money 
purse  in  each  contest  will  amount  to  $20,  making  a 
purse  of  $160  for  each  day,  the  total  purse  of  $480  to 
be  divided  among  the  winning  shooters  for  the  three 
days. 

Besides  the  added  money  for  each  event  there  will 
be  eide  pools.  Prizes  and  trophies  will  be  hung  up 
for  team  and  gun  club  contestB.  Dr.  W.  S.  George  of 
Antioch  and  Mr.  A.  M.  Shields,  on  behalf  of  the  San 
Francisco  Trap  Shooting  Association,  have  each 
donated  a  handsome  trophy  to  be  competed  for,  and 
other  substantial  prizes  will  no  doubt  be  secured. 

The  officers  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trap  Shooting 
Association  are:  Dr.  W.  S.  George,  of  Antioch,  Presi- 
dent; A.  M  Shields,  of  San  Francisco,  Vice-President; 
George  W.  Lewis,  Sscretary-Treasurer;  Edgar  J. 
Forster,  Manager;  Dr.  W.  a.  George,  Frank  Hodapp, 
of  Martinez,  A.  G.  Flickinger,  of  Vallejo  S.  R.  Smith, 
of  Los  Angeles,  and  M.  J.  Iverson,  of  San  Francisco, 
Directors.  

The  Mountain  View  Gun  Club  held  an  informal 
blue  rock  shoot  at  Mountain  View,  February  26,  1905. 
There  were  eleven  enthusiasts  in  attendance  and  if 
this  meeting  is  evidence  of  what  this  entei prising 
club  is  going  to  accomplish  during  the  coming  trap 
season,  it  certainly  argues  well  for  a  successful  series 
of  snoots  for  the  season  of  1905. 

Mr.  C.  A.  Whelan  and  the  club  members  were  un- 
tiring in  their  efforts  toward  the  comfort  of  visiting 
shooters.  The  club  uses  three  expert  traps  and  tbe 
grounds  are  exceptionally  well  adapted  for  a  blue  rock 
club  shoot  in  the  matter  of  background.  Every  in- 
dication points  to  an  increased  membership.  We 
congratulate  this  young  organization  for  their  enter- 
prise and  wish  them  all  success. 


The  regular  program  of  the  Union  Gun  Club  is  a 
card  of  five  events  for  each  monthly  club  shcot  from 
March  to  September  inclusive.

The  College  City  Gun  Club  grounds  near  North 
Berkeley  could  not  be  secured  again  for  this  season. 
An   effort  to  locate  the  club  traps  within  easy  reach 


The  Empire  Gun  Club  initial  shoot  this  season  will 
take  place  on  Sunday,  March  12th.  The  regular 
club  shoots  thereafter  will  take  place  on  tbe  second 
Sunday  of  each  month  during  the  club  blue  rock 
season. 


The  Maugatrap  has  been  discarded  by  the  Empire 
Gun  Club.  An  Autotrap  has  been  ordered  and  will 
be  used  at  the  Alameda  Junction  trap  shooting 
grounds  instead. 

The  Alameda  Gun  Club  will  hold  an  invitation  blue 
rock  shoot  tomorrow  on  the  High  street  grounds.  A 
merchandise  shoot  will  be  one  of  the  features  of  the 
meeting. 

The  reason  the  shoot  will  not  be  an  open  to  all  affair 
as  given  out  is  that  the  conveniences,  at  present,  for 
handling  a  large  crowd  of  shooters  are  not  adequate. 


Training  Dogs  to  Become   Ratters. 

To  own  a  dog  that  is  not  a  good  ratter,  particularly 
if  he  be  of  the  Terrier  variety,  is  considered  by  fan- 
ciers a  reproach.  As  to  methods  of  training  a  dog 
there  are,  of  course,  many.  The  old  conservative 
lines  are  good  and  efficient,  besides  which  many  dogs 
take  to  the  fame  naturally  and  with  avidity. 
Methods  do  not  vary  to  any  great  degree,  the  course 
of  a  dog's  training  being  to  a  great  extent  controlled 
by  environment. 

In  the  United  States  the  work  cut  out  generally  for 
a  professional  trainer  is  to  a  great  extent  a  sinecure. 
In  Paris,  which  has  the  reputation  of  harboring 
hordes  of  rats  in  its  underground  system  of  sewers, 
etc.,  the  situation  seems  to  be  different.  Recently  an 
enterprising  and  practical  citizen  of  the  French  capi 
toi  has  installed  a  lucrative  business  establishment 
whichhecallsa  "ratodrome,"  wheredogs  of  allbreeds 
and  kinds  are  taken  in  hand  and  after  a  more  or  less 
strenuous  course  of  training  are  sent  back  to  their 
respective  owners  as  competent  rat  killers  or  more 
rarely  as  mere  "yaller"  curs. 

In  the  large  cities  of  this  country  the  rat  question 
is  not  sufficiently  ineanacing  to  be  termed  of  national 
importance.  In  all  of  our  large  cities  men  working 
silently  and  skillfully  at  night  with  tongs  and  lanterns 
and  other  devices  maLage  to  keep  the  visible  rat 
supply  down  to  satisfactory  limits.  But  in  American 
cities  there  is  not  the  overwhelming  number  of  these 
pests  that  prevail  in  many  of  the  European  metropo- 
lises nor  do  the  "old  quarters"  of  our  cities  furnish 
living  and  breeding  places  for  untold  myriads  of  them. 

To  Paris  the  "rat  infected"  applies  perfectly,  it  be- 
ing estimated  that  4,000,000  of  them  find  their  homes 
in  the  city.  In  many  quarters  of  that  city  these 
rodents  are  so  numerous  and  ferocious  as  to  actually 
constitute  a  menace  to  the  residents  of  the  poorer 
houses.  Even  occasionally  there  comes  to  notice 
stories  of  aged  and  infirm  persons  or  helpless  infants 
who  have  been  killed  and  partly  devoured  by  hordes 
of  the  starving  gray  terrors.  One  case,  horrible  in 
the  details, is  that  of  an  old  ragpicker,  who,  while 
lying  all  but  helpless  from  drink,  was  eaten  alive  by 
the  rats  of  his  squalid  home.  In  some  houses  the  rats 
are  so  numerous  that  to  put  a  cat,  or  even  the  ordi- 
nary, untrained  dog  in  the  infested  portions  would 
only  be  subjecting  them  to  a  horrible  form  of  death. 
Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  in  Paris  there  is  actual  need 
of  the  '  ratodrome"  and  the  man  who  trains  "ratters." 

The  "ratodrome"  is  a  successful  even  flourishing  in- 
stitution. From  all  quarters  of  the  city  flock  people 
with  dogs  to  be  trained  for  rat  killing  service,  and 
the  trainer  in  chief,  "professeur  entrainer,"  in  h!.s 
band  master  uniform,  has  dogs  of  all  kinds  and 
natures  to  handle  at  a  good  profit.  Small  dogs,  large 
dogs,  well  bred  dogs,  dogs  of  uncertain  breed  and 
antecedents,  Poodles,  Fox  Terriers,  Pugs,  Pointers, 
Greyhounds  and  Bulldogs;  they  all  come  to  the  arena 
of  the  trainer,  and  within  the  space  of  from  one  to 
three  weeks  they  are  returned  to  their  owners  guar- 
anteed to  have  the  knowledge  necessary  to  catch  rats 
instilled  in  their  minds  or  rejected  as  hopeless  cases. 

There  is  no  careless,  hit  or  miss  method  to  the  pro- 
fessor's style  of  training  rat  catchers.  One  by  one  he 
takes  his  pupils  into  his  inclosed  arena  and  proceeds 
to  first  instill  in  their  minds  an  idea  of  what  should  be 
their  chief  aim  in  life,  that  of  chasing  and  killing 
rats.  The  first  lesson  is  to  make  the  novice  under- 
stand that  he  is  to  make  war  upon  every  rat  that 
comes  under  his  sight.  This  is  done  by  turning  him 
loose  in  the  arena  with  a  good  sized,  healthy,  angry 
rodent  as  his  only  companion.  StraDge  as  it  may 
seem  to  those  unfamiliar  with  doge,  many  dogs  abso- 
lutely refuse  to  make  war  upon  their  selected  ad- 
versary, but  treat  him  with  contempt  or  fraternize 
with  him. 

When  a  dog  evinces  an  inclination  to  be  sociable 
with  rats  he  is  placed  alone  in  a  barrel  full  of  half 
starved  rodents.  Then  it  is  a  case  of  fight  and  kill 
or  get  severely  bitten,  and  the  dog  invariably  fights. 
ODCe  this  lesson  is  learned  the  finer  points  of  instruc- 
tion begin.  Next  he  is  taught  to  ascertain  the  hiding 
places  of  rats  hidden  in  barrels,  boxes,  under  flower 
pots  and  in  Btraw.  A  rat  is  hidden  in  one  of  eight 
flower  pots  placed  inverted  in  the  arena.  His  lesson 
Is  to  find  the  pot  which  secretes  a  rat.  After  a  few 
days  of  training  at  this  "game"  the  intelligent  dog  is 
able  to  go  straight  to  tbe  right  pot  vithout  a  mom- 
ent's hesitation 

But  it  is  not  only  that  the  dog  must  find  Mr.  Rat's 
hiding  place,  but  before  he  is  adjudged  corr-petent  in 
this  part  of  his  course  he  must  catch  and  kill  him  as 
he  tries  to  escape  when  the  pot  is  overturned.      Good 


ratters  nose  the  covering  over  and  have  the  rat  in 
their  jaws  before  it  has  gone  a  foot.  Others  "fumble" 
woefully.  Overrunning  is  a  frequent  fault  of  un- 
trained dogs,  especially  young  ones.  Others  have  a 
penchant  for  fastening  their  teeth  on  the  trailing 
tails  of  their  prey.  This  offers  the  rat  a  chance  to 
turn  around  and  surprise  Mr.  Dog  by  biting  a  hole  in 
his  lips  when  Mr.  Dog,  if  the  shame  of  howls  aDd 
fright  has  not  been  properly  instilled  in  his  soul,  will 
drop  his  hold  and  flee. 

But  after  the  dog  in  training  has  learned  to  chase, 
find,  and  tackle  comes  the  severe  part  of  his  training. 
He  is  last  of  all  before  being  turned  over  to  his  owner 
as  a  finished  rat  catcher  put  through  a  course  that 
will  either  develop  the  fighter  in  him  to  a  last  degree 
or  will  probe  the  yellow  spot  in  his  makeup  and  send 
him  home  a  disgraced  dog;  a  dog  that  aspired  to 
enter  the  ranks  of  good  ratters  but  who  did  not 
possess  the  requisite  courage.    . 

The  last  degree  is  fighter's  test.  The  dog  is  driven 
into  an  underground  passage  wtre  has  been  placed 
the  champion  of  all  fighting  rats  or  two  or  three 
ordinary  samples  of  the  species.  It  is  dark  and  clammy 
in  the  passage.  The  dog  is  essentially  an  open  air 
animal.  Therefore  the  cold,  damp  quarters  in  to  which 
he  is  shoved  is  in  the  first  place  quite  sufficient  to 
send  his  courage  down  several  degrees  before  he  en- 
counters his  enemy. 

The  rat,  on  the  contrary,  spends  the  greater  part 
of  his  life  in  dark  holes  and  passages.  It  is  his  native 
element.  Here  he  lives,  fights  and  dies,  and,  through 
instinct,  when  he  discovers  that  his  home  is  invaded 
he  knows  that  it  is  up  to  him  to  fight  and  kill  or  get 
killed.  As  a  consequence,  the  minute  his  dark  ac- 
customed eyes  see  the  dog,  blundering  about  hope- 
lessly in  the  gloom,  he  acts  as  all  good  fighters  do,  he 
promptly  attacks.  With  every  advantage  on  his  side, 
it  is  not  infrequent  that  be  has  the  dog  howling  and 
begging  mercy  at  the  first  onslaught. 

There  is  no  help  to  come  to  the  canine's  assistarce, 
however,  and  he  soon  discovers  that  it  is  be,  and  he 
alone,  who  must  settle  the  question  as  to  whether  or 
not  he  is  to  come  out  of  the  hole  alive.  Once  this  re- 
solve is  made  in  his  mind,  it  is  a  most  unfortunate 
day  for  Mr.  Rat.  After  a  dog  of  tbe  right  kind  has 
been  sent  into  a  hole  and  made  his  kill  three  or  four 
times  he  is  fairly  impatient  for  new  victims,  and 
champs  at  the  leash  that  prevents  him  from  running 
into  the,  darkest  pit  to  be  found  to  kill  rats.  When  he 
has  attained  to  this  stage,  when  he  can  find  rats  any- 
where, can  tackle  them  scientifically,  and  will  fight 
them  in  any  size  and  number,  then  he  is  a  matter  of 
pride  to  the  professor,  and  is  sent  back  to  the  owner 
a  prize  and  a  jewel. 

The  charge  made  for  the  complete  course  is  $2.50. 
As  the  professor  frequently  has  hundreds  of  pupils  on 
hand  at  one  time,  his  profits  are  not  inconsequential. 
There  is  a  hospital  department  to  the  "ratodrome," 
where  dogs  that  have  been  bitten  by  rats  are  patched 
up  and  their  wounds  treated  antiseptically.  So  care- 
fully are  the  injured  animals  bandied  that  in  more 
than  a  thousand  pupils,  it  is  claimed,  the  professor 
has  not  lost  one  through  blood  posioning  from  rat 
bites.  Often  a  dog  is  severely  lacerated,  but  altera 
spell  in  the  hospital  he  is  up  and  ready  to  try  his  luck 
again.  Once  the  desire  to  kill  rats  is  firmly  implanted 
in  a  dog's  mind  by  this  system  of  training,  he  is  a 
clever  example  of  a  fixed  singleness  of  purpose. 


DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


'FRISCO    SHOW. 

Without  going  into  a  maze  of  generalities,  we  can 
state  authoritively  that  active  preparation  for  the 
Spring  show  of  the  S.  F.  Kennel  Club  is  going  on 
smoothly.  The  outlook  for  a  larger  and  finer  list  of 
specials  than  at  any  previous  show  of  the  club  is  most 
encouraging. 

The  premium  list  will  be  issued  about  April  1st.  At 
the  same  time  an  office  will  he  opened  in  a  central  lo 
cation. 

President  Chas.  K.  Harley  arrived  home  from  his 
Eastern  trip  this  week.  He  is  naturally  well  pleased 
with  his  handsome  wins  at  New  York  and  correspond- 
ing wins  at  tbe  New  England  show.  Mr.  Harley  was 
present  at  tbe  New  York  show  and  was  the  recipient 
of  many  courtesies  frcm  the  rank  and  file  of  Eastern 
dogdom.  The  Gotham  fanciers  all  down  tbe  line  were 
exuberant  in  their  congratulations  to  Mr.  Hariey  over 
the  wins  of  the  Coast-bred  dog,  Wandee  Knight. 


BULL    TERRIER    NOTES. 

Silkwood  Kennels'  Bull  Terrier  Newmarket  Jean 
whelped  five  puppies  (3  dogs),  February  24th,  to 
Croydon  Czar.  Edgewood  Jean  is  now  heavy  in 
whelp  to  Czar.  Silkwood  Daisy  Belle's  November  lit- 
ter of  six  white  dogs  by  Czar  turned  out  remarkably 
well  and  have  all  been  disposed  of. 

Silkwood  Betty,  owned  by  Mr.  Edwin  Duryea,  Jr., 
of  Palo  Alto,  whelped  nine  puppies  (7  dogs)  to  C. 
Czar  last  September.  

PROSPECT    OF    GOOD    EKG1ISH    SETTERS. 

John  Lucas  recently  sent  a  youDg  English  Setter 
bitch  belonging  to  J.  W.  Considine  of  Seattle  to 
Walter  W  Updike,  Robinson,  111.  She  will  be  served 
by  Dan  Thiers,  Mr.  Considine's  field  trial  and  bench 
show  winning  stud  dog.  Dan  Thiers  is  a  proven  sire 
and  is  looked  upon  as  one  of  the  best  bred  Llewellyn 
Setters  in  the  country. 


SEATTLE    KENNEL    CLOU. 

The  Seattle KennelClub,  Incorporated,  has  changed 
its  name  and  will  henceforth  be  known  as  the  Seattle 
Dog  Fanciers'  Association.  The  club  is  affiliated  with 
the  A.  K.  C.  From  this  it  will  appear  that  there  is  a 
possibility  of  two  bench  shows  being  held  in  Seattle. 


A    GOOD    COCKER    BACK    AGAIN. 

Mr.   W.    Wallace  bought   from    E.  C.    Plume    ' 
Cocker  Spaniel  bitch  Ch.  Plumeria  Flo  (C 
Goldie-Queen  K.)    Flo  arrived   here   from   C 


10  __ 

last  week  The  advent  of  this  well  known  bitch  on 
the  Coast  again  is  favorably  regarded  by  fanciers  for 
she  has  been  a  splendid  producing  one  and  can  be 
looked  upon  as  one  of  the  best  brood  bitches  on  the 
Coast  today. 

JARGE    ATTENDANCE. 

The  estimated  number  of  visitors  during  the  second 
dav  of  the  Boston  show  is  given  out  as  amounting  to 
20  000  This  was,  up  to  date,  the  largest  attendance 
at'a  dog  show  on  any  one  day,  in  th.s  country. 

CKUFT'S    SHOW. 

The  world's  record  for  bench  shojv  entries  was 
made  by  Cruft's  recent  bench  show  at  Agricultural 
Hall  London,  3854  was  the  number  of  entries  in  the 
various  classes.  The  quality  of  the  show  this  year  is 
said  to  have  been  far  above  the  average. 

The  breed  enjoying  the  latest  boom  Is  apparently 
the  Pekingese  Spaniel.  Six  weeks  old  puppies  are 
selling  for  $100  or  more,  several  pups  a  few  months 
old  brought  over  $500  each.  One  fancier,  Mrs.  Ash- 
ton  Cross,  is  reputed  to  have  made  last  year  $7500  in 
stud  fees.  She  owns  several  stud  dogs,  the  fees  range 
from  $50  to  $150.  One  fancier,  Lord  Decies,  is  said  to 
have  invested,  last  year,  $10,000  in  the  breed.  A 
strong  specialty  club,  whose  membership  is  composed 
principally  of  the  nobility,  has  been  organized.  The 
breed,  despite  its  small  size,  is  claimed  to  be  hardy 
and  singularly  immune  from  distemper. 

NEW    YORK    SHOW. 

At  the  twentv-ninth  annual  show  of  the  Westmin- 
ster Kennel  Club  the  total  number  of  entries  was  2712 
with  1752  dogs  benched— 218  more  entries  and  67 
more  dogs  than  at  last  year's  show.  There  were  98 
entries  in  the  variety  classes.  The  attendance  was 
good  throughout  the  four  days,  weather  conditions 
were,  despite  cold  and  a  little  rain,  considered  favor- 
able. 

All  the  judges  selected  were  on  hand,  the  bulk  of 
the  work  was  undertaken  by  Mr.  George  Baper  and 
Mr.  Arthur  Maxwell,  both  of  England,  and  Mr.  R.  P. 
Mayhew  of  New  York.  There  were  eighteen  judges 
in  all,  twelve  of  whom  looked  after  one  breed  only. 
Messrs.  Raper  and  Maxwell  were  engaged  nearly  three 
days  in  looking  after  their  clasBers. 

The  classes  of  sporting  dogs  were  not  as  strong  a 
feature  as  in  1904,  nothwithstanding,  there  were  many 
good  ones  shown. 

The  non-sporting  was  well  represented  save  in 
Bloodhounds,  Mastiffs  and  Newfoundlands. 

The  Terriers  as  a  whole  were,  it  is  claimed,  the 
feature  of  the  show.  As  compared  with  last  year's 
exhibit,  great  progress  was  noticeable,  particularly 
in  Airedales  and  Irish  Terriers.  Pox  Terriers,  Bull 
Terriers,  Scottish  Terriers  were  strong  in  class  and 
put  the  judges  on  their  mettle.  Mr.  Jewett  is  re- 
sponsible for  the  statement  the  Irish  Terrier  bitches 
were  "the  hottest  he  had  seen."  He  should  know 
what  he  was  talking  about  too.

Game  and  Fish  Legislation. 

After  a  brief  discussion  about  the  date  of  the  open- 
ing of  the  duck  season,  the  Assembly  last  week  passed 
without  amendment  the  fish  and  game  bills  prepared 
by  the  Senate  and  Assembly  committees  as  a  substi- 
tute for  all  the  bills  on  the  subject  that  have  been  in- 
troduced. The  Senate  has  already  passed  the  fish 
bill,  which  thus  goes  to  the  Governor.  Both  these 
measures  represent  a  compromise  between  the  con- 
flicting views  of  members  from  different  parts  of  the 
State.  This  is  the  reason  why  they  met  with  no 
serious  opposition. 

The  fish  measure  (Assembly  bill  819)  amended  the 
law  concerning  shrimp-catching,  keeping  the  season 
open  for  the  whole  year,  and  also  prohibits  the  ex- 
portation to  foreign  countries  of  dried  shrimps  or  of 
shrimp  shells  The  purpose  of  the  latter  provision  li 
to  prevent  the  wholesale  destruction  of  young  food 
fish  by  the  shrimp  takers.  The  law  does  not  stop  the 
exportation  of  shrimps  to  mearby  states,  which  is  a 
very  large  loophole  for  the  evasion  of  the  law.  There 
is  nothing  to  prevent  the  sending  of  the  same  fish  and 
shrimp  products  to  another  state  and  from  that  point 
the  commodities  may  be  shipped  to  the  Orient,  thus 
making  inoperative  the  spirit  of  the  statute.  Another 
month  is  added  to  the  open  season  for  black  bass, 
that  month  being  June.  No  change  is  made  regard- 
ing striped  bass,  the  weight  limit  remaining  at  three 
pounds.  The  trout  season  is  not  altered,  but  the 
Dasket  limit  is  reduced  from  fifty  pounds  to  twenty- 
five  pounds  in  one  day.  Hereafter  the  crawfish  sea- 
son will  open  on  September  15th  instead  of  on  August 
15th.    This  shortens  the  season  by  one  month. 

Assembly  bill  820  is  the  one  dealing  with  the  game 
laws.  It  makes  no  change  whatever  in  the  portions 
of  the  law  relating  to  duck  shooting.  The  bag  limit 
of  birds,  the  regulations  relating  to  the  sale  and 
possession  and  the  duck-shooting  season  all  remain 
the  same.  In  regard  to  doves  the  bag  limit  is  reduced 
from  fifty  to  twenty-five,  and  doves  are  added  to  the 
non -salable  class.  A  close  season  of  six  and  one-half 
months  (from  April  1st  to  October  15th)  is  created  for 
English  and  other  snipe. 

The  bill  makes  it  unlawful  for  one  person  to  kill 
more  than  two  deer  during  the  season.  Heretofore 
the  killing  of  three  deer  has  been  permitted.  The 
open  sea30n  for  deer  is  reduced  one  month,  now  open- 
ing on  August  let  and  closing  on  October  15th.  Pen- 
alties for  the  killing  of  doe,  fawn,  mountain  sheep  or 
elk  a  o  imposed,  consisting  of  a  flue  not  lower  than  $5 
nor  higher  than  $50.  The  only  objection  to  the  game 
from  some  of  the  Assemblymen  represent- 
■  ■■•them  counties,  who  wanted  the  duck-shooting 
3  open  on  October  1st,  instead  of  October  15th. 
,  hton  of  Modoc  and  Shasta  Counties  moved  an 
.jment  to  this  effect 


"The  reason  for  this  amendment  is  for  the  purpose 
of  allowing  people  who  live  in  the  duck -breeding  dis- 
tricts to  have  some  shooting  before  the  game  leave  for 
the  South,"  said  Creighton.  "The  ducks  usually  fly 
a  week  before  October  15th,  and  are  gone  from  our 
portion  of  the  State  before  the  season  opeDS.  The  law 
it  was  stated,  is  openly  violated  and  no  jury  in  that 
part  of  the  country  would  convict  any  per-son  found 
Bhooting  ducks  before  October  15th.  The  boys,  see- 
ing their  fathers  openly  iouting  the  law,  are  likely  to 
grow  up  criminals." 

Rolley  of  Humboldt  advocated  the  adoption  of  the 
amendment,  but  Branstetter,  from  the  same  county, 
said  his  people  wanted  the  law  to  remain  as  it  is.' 
Drew,  O'Brien  and  Atkinson  argued  the  defeat  of  the 
amendment  and  the  house  adopted  the  advice.  The 
bill  was  then  carried  by  44  votes  to  15.  Creighton 
gave  notice  of  reconsideration.  The  vote  on  the  fish 
bill  was  unanimous.  I 

Last  Tuesday  in  the  Senate  a  long  and  hard  fought 
argument  arose  over  a  desperate  attempt  to  amend  the 
Assembly  Committee  substitute  Pish  and  Game  bill, 
substituted  by  Shortridge  for  his  own,  as  it  contains 
identical  provisions,  but  without  success  in  a  single 
instance.  The  most  objectionable  feature  of  the 
original  bill  which  prohibited  the  hunting  of  ducks 
in  rowboats,  ate,  had  been  eliminated  in  committee  so 
the  opponents  of  the  measure  were  deprived  of  their 
strongest  argument  against  the  justice  of  the  bill,  it 
being  admitted  that  had  this  provision  remained  in 
the  bill  the  hunting  of  water  fowl  would  have  been  a 
pleasure  alone  for  the  favored  few. 

Wolfe  first  attacked  the  provision  which  makes  it 
a  misdemeanor  for  any  person  to  have  in  his  posses 
ion  on  any  one  day  more  than  twenty-five  quail,  part- 
ridge, doves,  snipe,  curlew,  Ibis,  plover,  rail  or  other 
shore  bird,  or  more  than  fifty  ducks.  Wolfe  offered 
an  amendment  which  would  permit  keepers  of  mar- 
kets to  have  more  than  the  numbers  set  forth,  pro- 
viding, however,  that  they  do  not  purchase  more  than 
is  provided  in  the  bag  limit  frotx  any  one  person. 

Proponents  of  the  bill  held  that  such  an  amend 
ment  would  only  encourage  infractions  of  the  law 
and  it  was  beaten  by  a  vote  of  21  to  5. 

Leavitt  sought  to  increase  the  number  of  deer  any 
one  hunter  may  kill  during  the  open  seaBon  from  two 
to  three,  but  he  was  defeated.  Leavitt  and  Wolfej 
then  announced  that  they  would  offer  other  amend-' 
ments  to  the  bill  when  it  comes  up  for  third  reading 
and  said  they  were  positive  with  a  full  Senate  of  win- 
ning their  points. 

The  bill  introduced  by  Senator  Sanford,  which  has 
passed  through  the  Senate  and  may  become  a  law, 
provides  for  the  maintenance  of  game  preserves  in 
every  county  of  this  State  in  which  deer  are  to  be 
found. 

The  bill  provides  that  the  boundaries  of  the  pre- 
serves shall  be  decided  on  by  the  Boards  of  Super- 
visors of  the  several  counties,  and  shall  not  be  less 
than  ten  nor  more  than  400  square  miles  in  area.  The 
object  of  the  bill  is  to  furnish  a  safe  retreat  for  deer 
at  all  times  of  the  year,  and  that  by  a  reproduction 
of  the  species  the  animals  will  propagate  and  spread 
throughout  the  country. 


Game  Bill  Passes. 


A  dispatch  received  from  Sacramento  yesterday  in- 
forms ub  that  Assembly  bill  820,  the  game  bill  framed 
by  the  Joint  Committee  on  Fish  and  Game,  after  con- 
ference with  the  sportsmen,  market  hunters  and 
shooters  generally,  covering  a  period  of  nearly  two 
months,  was  finally  passed  bj  the  Senate  Thursday 
afternoon  and  was  sent  to  the  Governor  yesterday, 
by  whom  it  will  probably  be  signed  and  become  a  law

A  Perfect  Trolling  Rod. 


The  "Skinner  Special"  is  a  three  joint  split  bamboo 
rod  designed  and  built  for  salmon,  steelhead  or  Btriped 
baas  angling.  The  materials  comprising  this  specially 
made  rod  are  first-class  in  every  particular,  selected 
with  care  and  put  together  in  the  most  skillful  man- 
ner. The  rod  is  ten  feet  in  length  mounted  in  German 
silver,  the  ferrules  being  extra  strong,  cold  drawn  and 
properly  serrated.  The  wrappings  are  in  red  and 
black  silk  and  artistically  wound.  The  grip  is  19 
inches  long,  the  butt  joint  extending  through  to  the 
butt  cap,  the  grip  is  make  of  cork.  The  reel  seat  is 
compact  and  strOEg  and  so  made  as  to  be  water  proof. 
The  tip  joint,  and  extra  tip,  are  both  fitted  with  a 
basket  agate  tip.  The  guides  are  the  trumpet  pattern. 
The  butt  joint  is  fitted  with  a  raised  agate  guide  that 
is  slightly  slanted  so  that  there  is  a  minimum  of  fric- 
tion on  the  line  running  from  the  reel.  The  guides 
have  been  so  placed  on  the  rods  as  to  reduce  to  a  de- 
gree the  danger  of  breakage  at  the  joints — a  point  ne- 
glected in  the  construction  of  many  rods,  particularly 
heavy  or  medium  heavy  ones.  The  "Skinner  Special" 
is  a  marvel  of  balance  and  resiliency  from  tip  to  butt. 
It  is  an  ideal  rod  for  salmon  or  striped  bass  trolliDg. 
For  steelhead  fishing,  in  casting  with  spoon  or  bait  it 
is  a  rod  second  to  none.  This  rod  has  been  thoroughly 
tested  by  expert  anglers  before  being  offered  to  the 
angling  fraternity  and  can  now  be  obtained  or  inspect- 
ed at  the  sporting  goods  store  of  the  Shreve  Barber 
Company,  739  Market  Street,  San  Francisco. 


Pomona  Gun  Club  Shoot. 


Twenty-seven  shooters  faced  the  traps  at  the  open- 
ing Bhoot  of  the  Pomona  Gun  Club,  at  Pomona,  Feb 
22,  1905. 

The  shooters  assembled  at  the  grounds  early  in  the 
morning,  and  began  the  slaughter  of  blue  rocks  for 
the  season  of  1905.  One  of  the  features  of  the  shoot 
was  the  remarkable  shooting  of  R.  H.  Bungay,  a 
visitor  from  Ocean  Park,  whose  first  experience  at 
the  traps  began  in  1904.  He  shot  brilliantly,  making 
an  average  of  91}%,  using  TJ.  M.  C.  shells.  Mr.  D.  W. 
King,  also  a  visitor,  shot  in  rare  form  and  used  TJ.  M. 
C.  shells,  breaking  73  out  of  80.  A  feature  of  the  day's 
shoot  was  the  three  ties  for  high  average,  Bungay  of 
Ocean  Park,  Lovelace  of  Los  Angeles  (both  of  the 
above  gentlemen  being  visitors)  and  Mr.  King  of  the 
Pomona  Gun  Club  making  91}%,  and  all  using  TJ.  M. 
C.  ammunition.  There  were  twenty-seven  shooters  at 
the  traps,  seventeen  of  whom  used  TJ.  M.  C.  "Acme," 
and  "Magic"  shells,  again  emphasizing  the  popularity 
and  quality  of  these  goods.  Every  attendant  waB 
loud  in  his  praise  of  the  completeness  of  the  arrange- 
ment^ and  too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  the 
management  for  their  splendidly  arranged  blue  rock 

meet. 

« 

At  the  Washington's  Birthday  tournament  at 
Ingleside  under  the  auspices  of  the  Golden  Gate  and 
Union  Gun  Clubs,  W.  H.  Varien  of  Pacific  Grove  won 
the  high  average,  93%,  using  TJ.  M.  C  shells.  Out  of 
forty-eight  shooters  contesting,  forty  of  them  used  TJ. 
M.  C   "Acme,"  "Magic"  and  "Monarch"  shells.

THE   FARM 


How  to  Feed  Young  Chickens. 


[A.  Warren  Robinson  In  Napa  Register  J 
"How  do  you  fied  and  manage  in  gen- 
eral your  young  chicks?"  This  is  an 
oft-repeated  query  made  by  sundry  per- 
son interested  in  raising  chickens  who 
live  near  at  hand  and  in  distant  localities. 
These  frequent  inquiriesprompt  the  writer 
to  give  herewith  in  detail  the  method  he 
has  for  some  time  successfully  used. 
These  remarks  will  apply  equally  well  to 
chickens  hatched  by  hens  or  in  the  in- 
cubator. 

Many  chicks  will  die  in  the  shell  if  the 
door  of  the  incubator  is  opened  while  the 
eggs  are  pipping  After  the  hatch  is  off 
and  the  empty  shells  removed  it  is  well  to 
let  the  baby  chicks  remain  in  the  nursery, 
with  which  most  every  incubator  is  now 
provided  for  twenty-four  hours.  In  re- 
moving them  to  the  breeder  great  care 
must  be  taken  lest  they  become  chilled. 

They  will  not  want  food  of  any  kind 
until  they  are  upwardB  of  forty-eight,  or 
Bixty,  hours  old.  Some  poultrymen  do 
not  give  chicks  anything  to  eat  helore 
they  are  three  dayB  old  Finely  broken 
grit-crockery,  granite  rock  or  glass  with 
granulated  charcoal,  is  the  first  ration 
placed  before  the  youngsters  Then  fol- 
lows a  diet  for  one  or  two  days  of  stale 
bread  crumbs  slightly  moistened  with 
sweet  milk  squeezed  very  dry. 

For  a  week  or  two  following  rolled  oats 
(or  what  is  better,  steel-cut  oats),  m  llet 
seed  and  finely  broken  rice  wi'l  be  found 
an  excellent  food.  Great  caution  must 
be  used  in  feeding.  The  universal  ten- 
dency is  to  overfeed.  One  will  hardly 
feed  too  little.  Three  times  per  day  and 
only  three  times,  from  start  to  finish,  is 
sufficient.  Thousands  of  baby  chicks  are 
annuallv  killed  by  mistaken  kindness. 
They  are  fed  too  much;  too  often  and 
coddled  inordinately. 

Scatter  the  feed  in  bright,  dry  chaff  in 
the  brooder  runs,  in  order  that  the  chicks 
may  exercise  their  leas,  thus  becoming 
day  by  day  stronger.  This  is  one  way  to 
avoid  the  leg  weakness  bo  often  noticed  in 
ill-cared-for  chicks.  Too  much  bottom 
heat  in  the  brooder  is  another  cause,  as  is 
also  the  absence  of  meat  in  their  rations, 
in  some  form  to  be  given  in  small  quanti- 
ties during  the  early  life  of  the  chicks. 

Milk  curds,  or  ''Dutcn  cheese,"  some- 
times called' "cottage  cheese,"  is  a  very 
excellent  article  of  food  to  be  given  once  a 
day.  It  is  a  good  plan  to  dry  cook  broken 
rice,  using  this  as  a  ration  now  and  then. 
This  will  make  the  little  ones  grow 
rapidly  and  will  serve  to  check  bowel 
trouble  should  any  appear.     If  rice  can 


be  purchased  cheap  enough  it  will  prove 
profitable  to  use  it  liberally  both  dry  and 
cooked. 

Bowel  trouble  will  not  be  noticed  if  due 
precautions  are  taken  and  if  all  the  food 
is  given  in  a  dry  state..  Mashes  of  any 
kind  for  young  ehicks  will  be  found  un- 
profitable, at  least  if  they  are  not  as  dry 
and  crumby  as  it  is  possible  to  make 
them.  Dry  feeding  for  fowls  of  all  ages 
is  by  far  the  better  method,  as  has  fre- 
quently been  demonstrated. 

After  the    third    week    cracked  wheat, 
cracked  corn  and  millet  seed  wll  be  found 
an  excellent  diet.    Cracked  corn,  wheat 
and  beef  Bcraps  may   be  constantly  kept 
before  the  young  fow's  after  they  are  six 
weeks  old   and    until  they  are  graduated 
into  the   main  yard,   the    pullets  being 
then  well-grown    and  laying  their    first 
litter  of  eggs,  the  cockrels  well  advanced. 
One  need  not  be  in   haste  to  give  the 
newly  hatched  chicks  drink  of  any  kind. 
A    full    week    BOinetimes    passes    before 
liquidB  are  offered  them.    If  water  is  pro- 
vided it  should   have  the  chill  taken  off. 
Warm   new   milk  is  to  be  recommended. 
If  bowel  trouble  appears,   evidenced  by 
that  untidy  "pasting  up  behind,"  scalded 
milk  will  be  found  an  excellent  remedy. 
The  dry  method  of  feeding  haB  been 
adopted  by  very   many  poultrymen  in  all 
sections  of  the  country,  with   much  satis- 
faction and  profit.    This,  with  a  goodly 
supply  of  grit  and  charcoal,  together  with 
comfortable    quarters,   an  abundance  of 
fresh  air  and   sunshine,  with  a  daily  ra- 
tion of  green   food,  will  cause  any  brood 
of  chickens  to  thrive  and  rapidly  mature, 
if  they  have  been   well-bred  and    incu- 
bated.   For  the  green  food  ration,  finely 
chopped  grasa    may  be  used.      There   is 
nothing  better  or  we  think  quite  so  good 
in  this  line  as  finely  chopped  onionB.

Caustic  Balsam 


In  the  course  of  an  address  at  the  Indi- 
ana Agricultural  College  recently,  ex-Gov- 
ernor Hoard  said  :  "I  know  a  man  by  the 
name  of  H.  S.  Griswold,  West  Salem, 
Wisconsin.  His  caBe  is  worth  consider- 
ing. He  owns  fifty  acres  of  land,  and  it  is 
possibly  worth  $50  an  acre.  He  is  now 
carrying  twenty-five  cows  on  this,  and 
they  are  cows.  A  year  ago  I  addressed 
the  farmers  at  a  fair  in  LaCrosse,  the 
county  in  which  he  resides.  His  entire 
herd  was  brought  into  the  race  track  and 
I  talked  for  an  hour,  taking  the  cows  as 
my  text.  They  were  only  grades,  yet 
tbey  earned  him  last  year  over  $100  a 
piece  in  the  sale  of  their  cream  alone. 
His  cows  earned  him  in  cream  and  skim- 
milk  $120  a  year  per  cow.  Mr.  Griswold 
is  a  constant  reader  and  student  of  what 
other  men  are  doing.  He  uses  four  times 
as  much  dairy  intelligence,  does  four 
times  as  much  dairy  thinking,  reads  four 
timesas  much  on  dairy  subjects.  Conse- 
quently he  will  do  just  as  much  business 
on  six  times  less  capital  in  land  and  one» 
half  as  many  cows."

Fourth  dam,  BELLE by MAMBRINO  CHIEF 

Fifth  dam,  BELLE  LUPE by BELLFOUNDER  (Brown's) 


The  above  dams  in  this  youn?  stallion's 
pedigree  are  the  choicest  The  first  dam  is  a 
young  brood  mare  with  a  record  of  2:183£;  the 
second  dam  is  the  dam  of  4  in  the  list  with 
records  of  2:18U.  2:18?^,  2:24*4  and  2:27,  respec- 
tively; the  third  dam  was  the  dam  of  5  with 
records,  2:21%,  2:21 3£,  2:261j  etc,  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast,  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Chief 
and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mia;  thefourthdam  wasthedamof  McCurdy's 
Hambletonian  2:26H,  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire  Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood, etc.  Bence  from  his  dams  have  come 
two  great  families— the  Belmont-Nutwood 
and  the  Pancoast-Patron-Patronage-Prodi- 
gal  families  The  dam  of  the  sire  and  the 
dams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sires.  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  dam  of  Cupid  2:18.  who 
produced  we  1;  Lady  Bunker,  the  dam  of  Guy 
Wilkes,  was  the  dam  of  Wm  L.,  sire  of  Axtel, 
and  El  Mahdi  2:25J4  and  Declaration,  who 
were  each  the  sire  of  several  good  ones:  Dolly, 
tbfldamof  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
2:2bU  and  Thorndale  2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  colt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  holders.  They  have  also  produced 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
levelheaded  and  the  largest  money  winners 
in  the  trottirjg  world.  The.  first.four  trace  in 
the  male  line  to  Hambletonian  10  through 
ancestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandsires,  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  six  crossesof  Hambletonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  producing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  each  of  which  goes  to  him  through 
dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 


Individually,  this  young  stallion.  DILLCARA.  is  as  good  as  his  pedigree.  He  is  of  the  stout, 
blocky  type,  without  coarseness,  and  he  Is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  <<f  natural  speed-  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  hands  of  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecting  that  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney.  Director,  Direct  and 
Nutwood  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 
purposes. 

DILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Francisco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SERVICE  FEE  S40

CAMPBELL'S  HORSE  FOOT  REMEDY    best"  rFmedy 

EVER  USED  ON  HORSES'  FEET. 

_  IT  PENETRATES  and  DRIES  IN  quickly  and  DOES 
NOT  GUM  and  PILL  TIP  THE  PORES  like  tar  and  oil 
compounds.  It  is  the  GREATEST  REMEDY  ever  used  to 
remove  SORENESS  and  FEVER  Irom  the  foot,  and  makes  it 
possible  to  get  good  services  out  of  a  horse  working  on  hard 
and  hot  pavements. 

It  gives  natural  nourishment  to  the  foot  and  incites  a 
rapid,  healthy  growth— ALL  DRYNESS  AND  BRITTLE- 
NESS  quickly  disappears. 

QUARTER  CRACKS  and  SAND  CRACKS  are  rapidly 
grown  out  when  directions  given  in  our  booklet  are  followed. 

It  is  a  SURE  CURE  for  CORNS,  CONTRACTED  FEET 
and  NAIL  WOUNDS  if  directions  are  followed. 

It  PRESENTS  SOUND  FEET  FROM  BECOMING  UN- 
SOUND and  GROWS  a  TOUGH.  STRONG.  ELASTIC  WALL 
and  HEALTHY  FROG— A  FOOT  WHICH  WILL  STAND 
WORK  on  race  courses. 

Many  of  the  best  owners  and  trainers  state  that  for  track 
work  nothing  equals  it.  In  many  cases  horses  have  reduced 
their  records  several  seconds,  due  to  its  use. 

It  Is  a  CER'J  AIN  CURE  for  THRUSH  and  SCRATCHES 

We  Guarantee  That  It  Will  Do  What  We  Claim 
and  Will  Refund  Money  If  It  Falls. 

PRICES:— Quarts,  fi  00;    Half-Gallon,  $1.75;    Gallon,    $3  00. 
:2«-Gallon,  $5.50;  Five-Gallon,  $10.00. 

Books  giving  full  directions  for  its  use  and  much  valuable  information  as  to  shoeing  are  supplied 

Don't  fail  to  read  "ad."  giving  Information  concerning  Campbell's  Iodoform  Gall  Cure  In  next

Gentlemen:— I  have  used  "Save-the-Horse"  spavin  cure  with 
entire  satisfaction,  as  follows: 

I  first  tried  the  remedy  on  a  thoroughbred,  which  had  bowed 
both  tendons  and  which  had  been  fired  once  and  blistered  a  number 
of  times,  but  every  time  he  was  trained  one  or  the  other  of  the  legs 
would  fill.  This  happened  three  years  in  succession.  Last  spring 
I  bought  a  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse"  and  used  it  according  to  di- 
rections with  the  result  that  he  started  7  times,  at  all  distances,  in 
July  last,  won  3  times,  second  3  times  and  third  once— an  excellent 
record— and  he  appears  to  be  perfectly  sound  to-day,  and  will  be 
raced  next  month.  I  am  firmly  convinced  that  without  your  rem- 
edy he  would  not  have  been  worth  a  dollar  as  a  race  horse. 

I  have  a  roadster  which  stepped  in  a  hole  at  pasture  and 
wrenched  a  hind  ankle— so  badly  that  he  could  not  put  his  foot  on 
the  ground.  I  was  advised  to  shoot  him.  as  it  was  claimed  that  he 
had  injured  his  hip.  Instead,  I  blistered  him  and  he  became  ser- 
viceablysound.but  limped  at  every  step.  Upon  close  examination 
T  found  a  growth  between  the  coronary  band  and  the  ankle  which 
developed  into  ringbone.  I  used  one  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse"  on 
the  growth  and  it  entirely  disappeared.  He  has  not  taken  a  lame 
step  since. 

Knowing  the  value  of  the  remedy.  I  do  not  hesitate  to  recom-

TOURISTS  and  TRAVELERS  will,  now,  with  difficulty  recognize  the  famous  COURT 
into  which  for  twenty-fl  e  years  carriages  have  driven.  This  space  of  over  a  quarter 
of  an  acre  has  recently,  by  the  addition  of  very  handsome  furniture,  rugs,  chandeliers 
and  tropical  plants,  been  converted  into  a  lounging  room— the  FINEST  IN  THE 
WORLD. 

The  EMPIRE  PARLOR— the  PALM  ROOM,  furnished  in  Cerise,  with  Billiard  and 
Pool  tables  for  the  ladles— the  LOUIS  XV  PARLOR  the  LADIES  WRITING  ROOM 
and  numerous  other  modern  improvements,  together  with  the  unexcelled  Cuisine  and  the

NO  APPROPRIATIONS  have  been  made  by  the 
California  Legislature,  which  will  adjourn  today, 
for  the  support  of  district  fairB.  The  appropriation 
for  the  construction  of  buildings  on  the  new  State 
Fair  grounds  at  Sacramento  has  been  cut  to  about 
one-third  of  its  original  amount  and  so  fixed  that 
racing  will  have  no  part  in  the  annual  exposition. 
The  bill  which  prohibited  pool  selling  and  betting  on 
races  has  been  smothered  in  the  Senate,  but  passed 
the  Assembly  by  a  large  majority.  Breeders,  owners 
and  trainers  of  light  harness  horse9  should  now 
organize  and  do  something  for  themselves.  The  op- 
portunity to  hold  trotting  and  pacing  races  at  the 
district  fairs,  which  has  existed  for  so  many  years  in 
this  State,  haB  gone,  and  as  the  Lord  only  helps  those 
who  help  themselves,  it  is  now  in  order  for  those  in- 
terested in  harness  horses  to  get  together,  agree  upou 
a  plan  and  go  to  work.  A  harness  racing  circuit  of 
mile  tracks  can  be  organized  in  California  that  will 
furnish  first  class  sport  each  year  for  those  who  en- 
joy harness  racing,  and  give  trotters  and  pacers  an 
earning  capacity  that  will  add  much  to  their  value. 
But  chin  music  and  newspaper  talk  will  not  organize 
associations  and  hang  up  purses,  and  somebody  has 
got  to  do  the  work  or  meetings  will  not  he  given. 
Work  has  been  started  in  Los  Angeles,  Pleasanton 
and  Woodland.  The  Breeders  will  hold  one  meetiDg 
and  if  necessary  will  give  one  or  two  more.  There  are 
a  half  dozen  places  with  good  mile  tracks,  however, 
where  the  horsemen  have  so  far  made  no  move.  Three 
or  four  good  active  men  can  organize  an  association 
and  give  a  successful  meeting.  Are  you  interested  in 
a  meeting  being  held  in  your  town?  If  you  are,  you 
can  help.  See  three  or  four  good  responsible  men 
and  organize  an  association  at  once.  If  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman  can  help  you  in  any  way  it  will  be 
glad  to  do  it.       ^_^___^^^^_ 

Ai  a  Cf\f\  IS  A  GOODLY  SUM  for  any  associa 
^J)1t",OUU  tion  on  the  Pacific  Coast  to  offer  for 
for  four  days  harness  racing.  The  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  will  distribute 
that  amount  among  the  winners  at  its  summer  meet- 
ing this  year  and  if  you  want  part  of  it  you  will  have 
to  enter  one  or  more  of  your  horses  in  the  events. 
Entries  will  close  April  3d. 


THE  TIME  TO  BUY  a  good  one  at  a  reasonable 
price  is  before  it  is  fully  developed.  Oakwood 
Park  Stock  Farm  has  bred  many  horses  that  it  has 
sold  at  auction  for  low  prices  that  afterwards  gained 
low  records  and  brought  thousands.  Thirty  head  of 
as  choice  youngsters  this  noted  'arm  has  ever  raised 
will  he  sold  at  auction  in  this  city  by  Fred  H.  Chase 
&  Co  ,  on  Tuesday  evening,  March  28th.  They  are 
fillies  and  geldings,  two,  three  and  four  years  old, 
and  all  royally  bred  and  without  blemish.  Superin- 
tendent Fred  Booth  has  them  in  fine  condition  to 
begin  training  and  says  they  are  the  best  lot  the  farm 
has  sent  to  an  auction  in  years.  Catalogues  will  be 
out  next  week.    Send  for  one.

Intyre  as  editor.  Mr.  Ashbrook  and  Miss  Mclntyre 
were  the  founders  of  the  Horse  Show  Monthly  published 
at  Kansas  City,  a  publication  that  has  met  with  rj  uch 
favor,  but  in  Hit  and  Spur  they  have  designed  one  of 
the  neatest,  newsiest  and  best  printed  journals  devoted 
to  "the  horse  of  high  estate"  that  has  ever  come  to 
our  desk.  It  is  a  monthly,  beautifully  illustrated  and 
containing  articles  and  items  that  will  interest  all 
those  who  are  identified  with  coach,  road  or  show 
horses.

Pony  Racing  at  Ingleside.

course  today,  where  the  California  Polo  and  Pony 
Racing  Association  will  hold  its  first  spring  race  meet-

there  is  good  money  for  you  to  take  a  chance  at  on 
the  big  ring  this  year.  The  purses  at  the  different 
places  down  the  line  will  be  as  follows: 

Detroit.  July  24  to  29  S5O.O00

All  the  above  meetings  will  be  largely  attended  and

Great  interest  is  being  manifested  in  New  York  as 
to  the  probable  sucoess  of  the  trotting  and  pacing 
meeting  which  is  to  be  held  in  connection  with  the 
Horse  Fair  in  Madison  Square  Garden,  April  24  to  30. 
Seth  Griffin,  the  most  expert  of  all  track  builders, 
has  been  engaged  to  construct  the  course  and  the 
turns  will  be  thrown  up  so  as  to  make  it  safe  to  go 
around  them  at  top  speed.  Frank  B.  Walker  has 
been  engaged  to  do  the  starting  and  Secretary  Gurney 
C  Gue  is  leaving  no  Btone  unturned  to  keep  the  meet- 
ing in  the  public  eye.  The  program  of  purses,  which 
are  worth  from  $200  to  $300  each,  has  been  regularly 
advertised  in  the  turf  and  daily  papers,  and  it  is  an- 
nounced that  many  horses  are  being  specially  pre- 
pared for  the  event. 


At  the  dispersal  of  the  Village  Farm  horse  Manager 
E.  T.  Gay  of  the  Maplewood  Haekney  Stud  purchased 
several  trotting-bred  mares,  the  intention,  it  is  said, 
being  to  mate  them  with  pure-bred  Hackney  stallions 
for  the  production  of  high-class  carriage  horses. 


An  advertiser  offers  two  Kentucky  bred  horses  for 
sale;  one  a  trotter,  the  other  a  pacer.  The  trotter  iB 
an  all  round  horse,  a  fine  roadsters  and  good  saddle 
horse.  The  price  is  only  $300.  The  pacing  mare  is 
by  Eagle  Bird,  sire  of  47  in  the  list,  and  a  son  of  the 
great  Jay  Bird.    $600  is  asked  for  her. 


The  man  who  purchased  Sadie  Baron  2:09}  at  the 
late  New  York  sales,  shipped  her  to  Philadelphia  in  a 
boxcar,  but  without  a  caretaker.  En  route  someone 
broke  into  the  car  and  stole  all  her  blankets, and  when 
the  mare  got  to  her  destination  her  temperature  was 
found  to  be  107.  The  result  is  a  severe  case  of 
pneumonia.  It  is  always  safer  and  sometimes  more 
economical  to  have  a  caretaker  in  the  car  when  ship- 
ping a  valuable  animal. 


A  Lexington,  Ky.,  dispatch  says  that  the  old  trot- 
ting horse  firm  of  Bowerman  Bros,  has  been  dissolved, 
George  Bowerman  retiring,  and  Mike  Bowerman  tak- 
ing into  partnership  his  son,  Eugene  Bowerman. 
The  firm  is  one  of  the  oldeEt  and  best  known  in  the 
country,  having  been  in  existence  Bince  1883.  Among 
the  2:20  performers  developed  by  the  Bowermans  are: 
Wilton  2:19},  Moquette  2:10,  Rubber  2:10,  Daintv 
Daffo  2:13};  Wilburn  M.  2:10,  and  many  others. 


Mr  R.  N.  Gray,  of  Alvarado,  Texas,  who  has  been 
sojourning  In  Southern  California  for  some  months, 
returned  to  his  old  home  last  month  and  took  with 
him  a  two-year-old  colt  by  H.  W.  Sylvester's  stallion, 
Royal  Derby.  Mr.  Gray  paid  $500  for  the  colt  which 
is  a  fine  looker  and  quite  promising.  Mr.  Sylvester 
expects  to  put  Royal  Derby  in  training  for  a  record 
thiB  year,  as,  though  never  trained,  he  has  shown 
enough  speed  on  the  road  to  warrant  his  owner  pre- 
dicting a  2:10  mark  for  him. 


Dr.  J.  J.  Summerfield,  the  leadiDg  veterinary  of 
Sonoma  county,  returned  to  Santa  Rosa  this  week 
after  a  five  months  absence,  during  which  he  visited 
the  old  folks  at  home  in  England .  The  Doctor  stopped 
over  in  New  York  a  few  days  and  says  that  judging 
by  the  carriage  and  park  horses  he  saw,  the  supply  of 
goo  d  animals  must  be  very  short,  as  the  average  was 
very  poor.  The  horse  shortage  is  being  felt  all  over 
tbe  country.  Dr.  Summerfield  was  glad  to  get  back 
to  California  and  says  it  is  the  only  country  on  earth. 


Some  years  ago  C.  J.  Hamlin  of  tbe  Village  Farm 
sent  ten  standard  bred  mares  out  to  Illinois  to  be  bred 
to  an  imported  French  coach  stallion  in  tbe  hopes  of 
obtaining  something  worth  while  in  the  jvay  of 
carriage  horses.  As  any  one  of  common  sense  might 
have  questioned  the  experiment  proved  a  great  fizzle. 
The  horses  from  this  mating  were  sold  at  the  Fasig- 
Tipton  sale  in  New  York  City  recently,  a  market 
where  fine  coach  horses  are  always  in  demand  and 
brought  an  average  of  only  $165  a  head.  The  ex- 
periment was  tried  but  once. — Field  &•  Farm. 


Tlie  Horseman  is  authority  for  the  statement  that 
the  large  Chicago  packing  firms  of  Armour  &  Co., 
Libby,  McNeil  &  Libby,  Swift  &  Co.  and  Schwarzs- 
child  &  Sulzberger,  together  with  the  Pabst  Brewing 
Co.,  have  quit  competing  with  one  another  in  the 
Chicago  horse  market  for  fancy  drafters.  As  a  proof 
of  this  it  cites  an  instance  where  a  2000-pound  roan 
gelding  was  put  up  for  sale  and  not  a  single  bid  was 
made  on  him  by  one  of  these  firms,  despite  the  fact 
that  he  was  every  bit  as  good  as  the  geldi.ig  that  made 
the  record  figure  of  $660  last  year.  Tlie  Horseman 
says  in  this  connection:  "Comparing  the  two  animals 
and  their  prices  under  tbe  hammer  it  is  seen  that 
fanciers  were  willing  to  pay  40  to  50  per  cent  more 
than  horses  were  worth  for  commercial  use  when  pur- 
chased to  compete  In  the  show  ring.  To  date  not  a 
single  animal  draft  has  changed  hands  at  anything 
but  commercial  values. " 


Oregon  breeders  of  light  harness  horses  will  be 
given  an  opportunity  to  mingle  the  blood  of  the  fam- 
ous Hal  family  with  their  native  stook  this  year,  as 
the  well-known  artist.  Homer  Davenport,  irtende 
Bhipping  bis  stallion.  Hal  D  ,  by  Brown  Hal  2:12J,  to 
that  far  off  corner  of  the  Northwest  for  public  servioe, 
says  Trotter  and  Pacer.  There  are  quite  a  number  of 
high-class  pacing  bred  mares  in  Oregon  bearing  tbe 
blood  of  old  Altamont,  that  took  his  record  of  2:26}, 
to  wagon,  at  Oakland,  Cal  ,  in  1885,  which  it  is 
thought  will  produce  fast  ones  to  the  Hal  cross.  The 
stallion  will  be  shipped  West  this  Bpring,  and  he  will 
be  the  firBt  Hal  ever  sent  there  to  do  public  service. 
He  is  sent  at  tbe  request  of  the  breeders  of  that  sec- 
tion. Hal.  D.  was  bred  by  Major  Campbell  Brown,  at 
the  home  of  the  Hals,  Spring  Hill,  Tenn.  He  h 
lot  of  style  and  action  as  well  as  speed,  and  is 
seven  years  old.

California  is  Petigru  2:10J  a  grandson  of  the  great 
Onward  and  from  a  long  line  of  great  broodmares. 
He  is  siring  trotters  too.  as  his  two-year-olds  are  giv- 
ing proof.  

If  you  are  anything  of  a  student  of  breeding  turn 
to  the  advertisement  of  Dillcara  and  read  it  over 
carefully.  There  is  choice  goods,  the  very  acme  of 
breeding  for  a  producing  sire.  Look  over  the  list  of 
great  sires  and  great  broodmares,  and  you  will  say 
there  is  a  young  stallion  worth  breeding  the  very 
best  mares  to. 

Grace  Speers,  the  three- year-old  filly  by  Waldstein 
out  of  Sadie  Moor  2:26  by  the  Grand  Moor,  that 
William  Johnson  ia  training  at  Pleasanton,  trotted  a 
quarterin  39 seconds  for  him  lasu  week  which  is  pretty 
good  evidence  that  she  will  be  quite  a  trotter  as  she 
is  only  just  nicely  broken  and  has  had  no  previous 
training  except  being  driven  a  few  times  as  a  two- 
year-old. 

Every  horseman  in  California  that  has  been  heard 
from  is  speaking  a  good  word  for  I  Direct  2:12$,  the 
handsome  son  of  Direct  2:051  owned  by  Mabry  Mc- 
Mahan  of  this  city,  and  now  in  charge  of  Prof.  H.  B. 
Freeman  at  Sacramento.  If  there  is  one  among  them 
who  has  an  unkind  word  to  say  of  the  little  horse  he  has 
not  yet  made  his  appearance,  and  if  he  does  he  will  be 
hailed  as  the  original  knocker  from  Knoxville. 


Fred  J.  Vetter,  of  this  city,  is  driving  a  nice  chest- 
nut mare  with  white  stockings  by  St.  Nicholas,  son  of 
Sidney  that  looks  like  a  good  prospect.  She  can  show 
a  three  minute  gait  without  any  training,  and  has  a 
way  of  going  that  is  very  attractive. 


Lady  Zombro  2:2-!  $  the  trotting  mare  by  Zombro 
2:11  owned  by  Mr.  Whittier,  and  being  trained  by  P. 
W.  Hodges  at  Pleasanton,  stepped  a  njile  in  2:17 
recently,  the  last  half  in  1:05.  Lady  Zombro  is  one  of 
the  best  prospects  for  a  real  fast  one  there  is  in 
California. 

Get  your  horses  pointed  for  some  of  that  $14,500 
hung  up  by  the  Breeders  Association  to  be  distributed 
at  its  meeting  this  year  The  first  thing  necessary  is 
to  make  an  entry.  There  will  be  no  trouble  causing 
substitution  clause  thiB  year,  and  if  you  want  to  win 
you  will  have  to  enter  April  3d. 


Note  the  increase  in  the  value  of  the  purses  offered 
for  trotters,  pacers  and  runners  by  the  Utah  Racing 
Association,  whose  advertisement  will  be  found  in  our 
columns  today.  There  is  also  a  change  in  seme  of  the 
dates.  Salt  Lake  City  is  a  great  trotting  town,  and 
there  are  big  crowds  at  all  the  meetings. 

A  company  of  ranchers  of  Monterey  county,  has 
purchased  for  $3000  the  fine  black  Percheron  stallion 
Casino  recently  brought  to  this  State.  Those  who 
formed  the  company  are  John  McEt  tee,  Frank  Hook, 
C.  H.  Wideman,  G.  J.  Pat  ton,  John  Pihl,  Henry 
Sands,  Henry  TwUselmann  and  Dennis  Allen. 


Twelve  thousand  dollars  in  purses  are  offered  by 
the  Utah  Racing  Association  for  its  six  days'  meeting 
to  open  Monday,  July  24th.  The  free-for-all  pacers 
are  offered  $1000,  and  the  2:14  class  pacers  the  same 
amount.  All  other  purses  are  $500.  See  the  advertise- 
ment, and  send  -to  this  office  for  entry  blanks. 

Mr.  P.  W.  Bsllingall,  the  well  known  customs 
broker  of  this  city  owns  a  Nutwood  Wilkes  colt 
coaling  two  years  old,  that  is  such  a  promising  young 
trotter,  he  has  sent  the  dam,  a  handsome  and  fast 
trotter  by  Secretary,  back  to  the  Nutwood  Stock 
Farm,  to  be  bred  again  to  the  sire  of  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron  2:04).  

Now  that  the  training  season  nas  fairly  ODened,  a 
good  cart  or  bike  is  an  absolute  necessity  and  it  is  also 
necessary  that  the  wheels  run  true  with  the  least 
possible  friction.  Kenney,  the  bikeman  at  531  Market 
street,  is  the  leading  expert  on  the  Coast  on  bike 
wheels.  Get  him  to  fix  yours,  or  call  on  him  for  a  new 
iiike  if  ihe  old  one  is  worn  out. 


Write  thisdate — March  28th— on  your  cuff,  or,  if 
you  don't  wear  cuffs  put  it  down  in  your  note  book 
or  in  the  "tablet  of  your  memory  ''  Oakwood  Park 
Stock  Farm  will  sell  on  that  date  at  Fred  H.  ChaEe  & 
Co.  's  salesyard,  thirty  head  of  two,  three  and  four- 
year-old  geldings  and  fillies  that  are  the  finest  lot 
consigned  to  a  sale  by  this  farm  for  years.  There  is 
not  a  blemished  one  in  the  consignment  and  they  are 
by  Chas.  Derby,  Steinway,  Owyhee,  Direct  and  -Geo. 
W.  Archer  (son  of  Ailerton),  and  out  of  some  of  the 
best  mares  on  the'farm. 


Captain  Newton  of  Los  Angeles  brought  a  trotter 
by  his  horse  Titus  up  to  Pleasanton  last  week  that  is 
now  a  member  of  the  Butler  string.  This  trotter  is 
a  stallion  and  it  is  said  worked  a  mile  in  2:13$  before 
leaving  Los  Angeles.  Titus,  his  sire  is  by  Director 
and  is  sire  of  Stipulator  2:11}.  1  he  dam  of  Captain 
Newton's  stallion  is  by  McKinney.  This  is  said  to  be 
one  of  the  best  trotting  prospects  seen  in  Pleasanton 
for  some  time. 

At  the  Ottawa  ice  racing,  February  8th,  Mr.  Alex- 
ander McLaren  won  the  $1000  stake  for  2:35  class 
trotters  with  the  mare  Lady  Mary  Tudor  by  the  Cali- 
fornia bred  trotter  Directum  2:05},  out  of  Pearl  Mc- 
Gregor 2:23|  by  Robert  McGregor.  It  took  six  heats 
to  decide  the  race,  Lady  Mary  Tudor  winning  the 
first,  second  and  sixth.  The  best  tim»  was  2:26.  The 
get  of  Directum  seem  to  be  getting  the  money  on  all 
sorts  of  tracks.  

Ecuador  7785  a  Hackney  stallion  imported  from 
England  this  season  by  Henry  Wheatley  of  Napa 
county,  is  advertised  in  this  issue.  Ecuador  is  a  dark 
chestnut,  15.3  hands  high  and  weighs  1250  pounds, 
has  fine  action  and  is  a  splendid  specimen  of  the 
Hackney  breed.  Mr.  Wheatley  has  placed  the  service 
fee  this  year  at  the  low  price  of  $15  to  get  his  horse 
introduced  to  the  breeders  of  carriage  horses  in  Cali- 
fornia.    See  advertisement  for  further  particulars. 

Frank  Turner,  Superintendent  of  the  Santa  Rosa 
Stock  Farm  has  a  ten  months  old  trotter  by  his 
stallion  Frank  S.  Turner,  dam  Caratone  that  began 
showing  speed  as  soon  as  hitched  up  and  knows 
nothing  but  trot.  The  fifth  time  it  was  taken  on  the 
track  the  youngster  trotted  a  quarter  in  50  seconds, 
another  in  49$  and  a  third  in  48$.  That's  a  lot  of 
speed  for  a  baby  to  show  and  speakB  well  for  Frank 
S.  Turner  2:2S  as  a  sire,  as  the  colt  is  one  of  the  ftrst 
of  his  get. 

Tennysonian,  a  California  bred  stallion  by  Elec- 
tricity, son  of  Electioneer,  dam  Swift  by  Sidney,  is 
now  located  at  Mount  Vernon  race  track,  Skagit 
county,  Washington,  where  his  owner  George  Butters 
has  placed  him  in  the  stud.  Tennysonian 's  colts,  as 
our  readers  are  aware,  have  been  attracting  much 
attention  in  the  northern  country  lately,  and  he  will 
be  a  member  of  the  Great  Table  before  this  year  is 
over.  He  is  a  well  bred  horse  and  the  breeders  of 
Washington  should  patronize  him. 

Charley  De  Ryder  has  a  pacer  in  his  Pleasanton 
string  that  can  pace  an  eighth  fast  enough  to  choke 
some  of  the  alleged  runners  over  at  Emeryville  to 
death  were  they  tied  to  him  with  a  rope.  The  side- 
wheeler  referred  to  is  Alford  C.  2:12$  by  Longworth, 
son  of  Sidney,  that  James  Butler  recently  purchased 
from  the  estate  of  A  C.  Dietz.  One  day  this  week 
De  Ryder  let  Alford  C.  have  his  head  and  he  paced  an 
eighth  ic  13}  seconds.  Longworth,  sire  of  Alford  C, 
had  a  pacing  record  of  2:19  as  a  four  year-old. 


Mr.  John  Pastene  of  the  Pastene  Fruit  Company 
has  just  purchased  from  J.  I.  Sparrow  a  Jerald  speed 
wagon,  that  is  a  new  thing  in  this  city.  It  is  a  real 
speed  wagon,  but  has  a  seat  wide  enough  for  two.  It 
weighs  125  pounds  and  is  a  beauty.  Mr.  Pastene  will 
drive  his  big  bay  pacer  to  it  and  he  should  make  the 
dust  fly  even  with  "two  in  the  buggy." 

Mr.  Frank  H.  Burke,  proprietor  of  La  Siesta  Farm, 
reports  that  the  old  favorite  trotting  mare  Wanda 
2:14^  foaled  a  bay  colt,  no  marks,  on  the  morning  of 
March  7th.  The  colt  is  by  Iran  Alto  2:12}  and  is 
entered  in  the  Breeders .  Futurity  and  other  rich 
atakes.  Wanda  is  dam  of  The  Roman  2:09$,  and  is 
by  Eros  out  of  Accident  dam  of  five  in  the  list,  by 
Elmo 

Here's  good  news  for  Contra  Costa  horsemen.    The 
Concord    Transcript  of    last    Saturday    says:     "The 
Directors  of  the  Contra  Costa   Driving  Club   met  in 
Martinez  on  Thursday  afternoon  and  decided  to  raise 
the  money  to  pay  off  the  indebtedness  already  on  the 
track  and  then  go  ahead  and  make  the  necessary   im- 
provements which  are  needed,  so  that  inducements 
may  be  offered   to   horsemen   to  train   there."    The 
Corcord  track  is  a  new  CDe  that  was   built  two   years 
q<J   when  in   shape  is  one  of  the  best  in   the 
The  Concord  climate  is  ideal  for  training. 
be  hoped  the  fair  and  race  meetings  so  success- 
•ncord  in  former  years  will  be  revived. 


Alta  Vela  2:11},  Mr.  F.  Gommet's  son  of  Electioneer, 
will  probably  make  the  season  at  Marysville.  Alta  Vela 
is  without  question,  one  of  the  most  perfect  and 
beautifully  gaited  trotters  ever  sired  by  the  great 
Electioneer.  As  a  road  horse  he  is  not  excelled  by 
any  trotter  in  Caiifornia,  and  as  a  race  horse  he  was 
fast  and  game,  with  a  perfectly  level  head  and  the 
racing  instinct.  Breeders  in  the  vicinity  of  Marys- 
ville should  not  permit  the  chance  to  breed  good 
mares  to  Alta  Vela  this  year  to  escape  them.  Celts 
and  fillies  by  this  son  of  Electioneer  are  valuable  as 
soon  as  they  are  old  enough  to  put  the  harness  on. 


Mr.  M.  Henry,  of  Haywards,  has  moved  his  string 
of  young  trotters  from  Pleasanton  track,  where  he 
has  been  working  them  for  a  few  months,  back  to  his 
home  place,  as  he  will  be  occupied  during  the  next 
three  or  four  months  attending  to  matters  on  his 
farm  and  also  looking  after  bis  stallion  Educator  by 
Director.  Educator  is  getting  many  handsome  horses 
and  a  large  proportion  of  them  are  showing  speed. 
Mr.  P.  Quade,  of  San  Francisco,  owns  a  five  year  old 
mare  by  Mr.  Henry's  horse,  out  of  Elcie  by  Silver 
Bow,  that  after  one  month's  handling  by  J.  W.  Zib- 
bell  trotted  a  half  in  1:10}  and  a  quarter  in  35  seconds. 


Martin  Carter,  proprietor  of  Nutwood  Stock  Farm, 
held  a  regular  '  levee"  last  Sunday.  At  least  twenty 
prominent  breeders  and  horse  owners  visited  the 
home  of  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16$  that  day  and  looked 
over  the  many  young  trotters  and  pacers  on  the  farm. 
The  full  brother  to  John  A.  McKerron  came  in  for  a 
lot  of  admiration  and  Charley  De  Ryder  wanted  to 
lead  him  to  Pleasanton  and  put  him  in  his  string,  but 
Mr.  Carter  will  hold  the  colt  over  another  year  as  he 
knows  he  will  be  a  whirlwind  pacer.  Among  the 
visitors  to  the  farm  on  the  day  mentioned  were  James 
Butler  of  New  York,  Monroe  Salisbury,  Chas.  De 
Ryder,  Senor  Juan  Galleagos  and  sons,  Judge  W.  E. 
Greene  and  son  and  many  others.  As  one  visitor 
remarked  Mr.  Carter  had  stall  after  full  of  speed  and 
good  lookB. 

P.  W.  Hodges,  the  well-known  trainer,  says  the 
Zombros  and  the  Nutwood  Wilkeses  are  two  great 
families  of  young  trotters.  In  his  experience  he  has 
never  found  colts  that  come  to  their  speed  any  sooner 
or  desire  to  show  it  like  the  get  of  these  two  sires. 
He  says  all  one  has  to  do  is  to  keep  them  from  going 
too  fast  and  too  far  in  their  work  as  they  will  always 
be  found  trying  to  beat  the  other  colts  on  the  track. 
Mr.  Hodges  has  a  two-year-old  stud  colt  by  Zombro, 
out  of  a  mare  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  that  he  thinks  is 
as  well  bred  as  the  "best  bred  colt"  in  any  country 
and  knows  he  is  a  trotter  of  the  genuine  order.  He 
intends  mating  him  with  three- or  four  of  his  own 
mares  this  year,  and  will  train  and  give  records  to 
the  produce  as  soon  as  they  are  old  enough,  so  as  to 
give  the  colt  a  start  as  a  sire.  One  of  the  mares  with 
which  he  will  be  mated  is  a  daughter  of  Stam  B  2:11}. 
out  of  Atherine  by  Patron.  When  that  colt  arrives 
his  pedigree  will  be  worth  tabulating,  and.  we  don't 
see  how  anyone  could  find  any  fault  with  it. 


Herman  Johnson  of  Great  Falls,  Montana,  is  the 
owner  of  the  well  bred  stallion  Directus  J.  2:2:'.'  by 
Montana  Director,  son  of  Director2:17,  and  out  of  the 
mare  Molly  Bishop  by  Bishop  sire  of  the  five  mile 
champion  Bishop  Hero.  Mr  Johnson  began  breed- 
ing on  a  small  scale  last  year  with  three  standard 
bred  mares  and  luckily  they  are  all  with  foal.  He  also 
owns  several  good  draft  mares  that  he  breeds  every 
year.  Directus  J.  took  his  record  at  Dilli-n,  Montana, 
in  1902.  W.  G.  Durfee  had  him  in  Los  Angeles  a 
while  last  year  and  the  horse  Bhowed  great  speed. 

Dan  Misner  is  trainine  a  very  handsome  black  mare 
at  Pleasanton  that  causes  visitors  to  "rubber"  as  she 
goes  by.  Her  name  is  Mayola  and  she  is  owned  by 
that  genial  San  Franciscan,  Horace  O'Rear  of  Foster 
&  O'Rear,  proprietors  of  the  Ferry  News  Depot. 
Mayola  is  by  the  registered  stallion  Vallota  3084,  (son 
of  George  Norval  and  Carlotta  Wilkes)  and  is  out  of  a 
mare  by  Anti  Coolie  (son  of  Anteeo),  second  dam 
Beauty  by  Anteeo.  third  dam  Belle  by  Williamson's 
Belmont.  This  is  high  breeding  and  Mayola  justifies 
it  all  by  her  looks,  action  and  speed.  She  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:25  with  the  last  quarter  in  35  seconds,  last 
Saturday,  the  second  time  she  was  ever  hitched  to  a 
bike,  and  has  pulled  a  cart  nearly  as  fast.  She  has 
had  but  little  training,  and  Mr.  Misner  thinks  ber  one 
of  the  best  prospects  he  ever  handled.  If  Mr.  O'Rear 
could  be  induced  to  race  her  she  would  make  a  record 
for  herself. 


Mart  Rollins  of  Santa  Rosa  has  a  trotter  that  must 
not  be  overlooked  by  the  prophets  who  are  figuring 
on  new  2:10  performers  for  1905  He  is  by  Lynwood 
W.  out  of  a  mare  by  Silas  Skinner,  second  dam  by 
Echo  and  has  been  referred  to  beforein  these  columns. 
Mr.  Rollins  worked  him  some  last  year,  and  the 
gelding  showed  up  well,  but  was  never  raced.  This 
year  Charley  Belden,  (as  Rollins  has  named  him  in 
honor  of  his  friend,  the  popular  harness  dealer  of 
Santa  Rosa)  trots  like  a  Grand  Circuit  campaigner. 
Last  Saturday  he  was  being  driven  by  Mr.  Rollins  on 
the  three  quarter  winter  track  at  Santa  Rosa  Stock 
Farm,  and  stepped  a  half  in  1:08,  hitched  to  a  cart. 
Rollins  asked  Dick  Abies  to  drive  the  horse  a  half 
and  without  taking  him  from  thecart  he  took  him  the 
half  in  1:05$  and  did  not  call  on  him  until  the  finish 
when  he  acted  as  if  he  could  do  another  half  in  about 
1:03.  Charley  Belden  is  capable  of  a  mile  in  2:15  now 
and  is  a  sure  2:10  trotter.  The  winter  track  at  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm  is  all  right  and  as  a  horseman  of 
that  city  says:  "Others  go  to  Pleasanton  to  train, 
but'we  have  speed  to  burn  at  home." 

It  was  a  favorite  saying  of  the  late  William  B.  Cur- 
tis (the  great  athletic  referee  and  who  in  all  prob- 
ability decided  more  difficult  questions  than  any  other 
man  of  his  time)  that  if  you  invent  new  games  you 
must  make  rules  to  govern  them.  We  hope  Bays 
Sports  of  the  Times,  the  authorities  will  not  forget  this 
when  they  invite  nominations  for  the  purses  which 
are  to  be  decided  in  three  heats,  each  heat  to  be  a 
race.  Already  in  horse  circles  the  subject  is  a  prolific 
source  of  discussion.  Here  is  one  most  pertinent 
question:  If  each  heat  is  a  race  in  itself,  has  not  a 
distanced  horse  a  right  to  start  in  the  second  heat, 
and  if  distanced  again  ean  he  start  in  the  third?  Last 
year  at  Buffalo  there  was  a  fresh  draw  for  positions 
with  each  heat,  but  it  is  announced  by  Secretary 
Bentley  that  at  the  next  Grand  Circuit  meeting  the 
horses  will  start  in  the  second  and  third  heats  in  the 
positions  they  finished  in  the  former  heat.  This  will 
dispose  of  the  distance  question,  for  if  a  horse  is  dis- 
tanced in  the  first  heat,  he  necessarily  can  have  no 
legal  position  in  the  second.  However,  it  is  a  question 
which  should  be  settled  definitely  in  the  conditions 
now,  and  thus  prevent  vexatious  possibilites  and  un- 
pleasant complications  when  the  raceB  are  decided.

ON    THE    WINQ. 


Sacramento  Valley  Gossip. 

[By  Our  Spscial  Correspondent.] 
DOINGS  AT  DIXON. 

Dixon,  March  7 — The  chief  topic  of  conversation 
in  all  circles  around  Dixon  this  week  was  the  sale  of 
the  famous  young  mare  Mamie  R.  (3)  2:15*  for  $6000 
by  M.  J.  Reams  to  James  Butler  of  New  York.  Mr. 
Butler  came  to  look  at  the  mare  Saturday  and  eventu- 
ally closed  the  deal  and  on  Monday  she  was  shipped 
to  the  Pleasanton  track  in  charge  of  J.  W.  Flynn. 

Prospects  are  very  bright  here  for  a  good  season 
among  the  horsemen  and  with  a  meeting  on  May  1st, 
already  advertised,  and  the  possibility  of  another  in 
the  fall,  unusual  interest  is  being  manifested.  T.  G. 
Horigan,  one  of  the  most  popular  business  men  and 
horsemen,  has  recently  become  the  sole  owner  of  the 
Dixon  Driving  Park  and  with  Del  Dudley  as  his  right 
hand  man  and  secretary  will  endeavor  to  make  it 
even  a  still  more  popular  place  for  training  and  racing. 

There  are  quite  a  number  of  good  horses  now  in 
training  at  the  track  and,  ir> fact,  the  stall  room  is  all 
occupied.  Walter  Trefry  is  working  nine  head  in- 
cluding Ramona,  a  three-year-old  filly  byZombro,  out 
of  a  mare  by  Antevolo,  that  has  worked  an  eighth  in 
17}  seconds;  Rex  Almont,  a  green  stallion  by  Prince 
Almont,  out  of  Dolly  by  Inca;  Aoita  Wilkes  by  a  son 
of  Guy  Wilkes,  dam  by  Antevolo;  Antonius,  a  promis- 
ing green  pacer  by  Antonio,  out  of  Favor  by  Wald- 
stein  that  has  shown  a  2:10  gait;  Jim  Mack  by  Carbon; 
T.  S  by  a  son  of  Oro  Wilkes;  Babe,  a  four-year-old 
filly  by  Falrose,  owned  by  H.  Robin;  and  a  three-year- 
old  filly  by  Dictatus. 

Mamie  R.  2:15*  was  not  the  only  good  one  in  the 
string  of  Mannie  Reams,  for  he  still  nas  in  training 
Ring  Rose  2:211  by  Falrose,  owned  by  A.  Hailing,  of 
San  Francisco;  Smiley  by  Bayswater  Wilkes-Rose;  a 
half  brother  to  Mamie  R.  owned  by  Ray  Bennett, 
Vacaville;  and  a  half  dozen  other  promising  green 
ones.  This  week  he  purchased  of  Rush  &  Haile, 
Suisun,  a  very  handsome  three-year-old  colt  by 
Demonio,  dam  by  Oro  Wilkes,  grandam  by  Le  Grand, 
and  in  partnership  with  Mr.  Horigan  bought  a  couple 
of  good  youngsters  by  the  same  sire. 

The  veteran  trainer  Lou  Matavia  is  not  operating  a 
stable  this  season  but  he  has  a  young  stallion  that  is 
attracting  a  great  deal  of  attention  in  the  four-year- 
old  colt  Alton  by  Altamont,  out  of  Winnie  by  Alex- 
ander Button.  Last  season  he  trained  him  in  his 
three-year-old  form  and  in  the  fall  drove  him  a  mile  to 
a  heavy  cart  over  the  local  track  in  2:25  with  an 
eighth  in  15  seconds  and  it  is  reasonable  to  expect 
him  to  easily  shade  2:10  next  season.  He  is  a  trimly 
built  and  handsome  young  horse  of  the  Direct  type 
and  will  have  ample  opportunity  to  prove  his  worth 
in  the  bands  of  Mr.  Matavia. 

Del  Dudley  is  the  busiest  man  you  ever  saw,  for  in 
addition  to  successfully  managing  his  big  ranch  near 
Dixon  and  acting  as  Secretary  of  the  local  association 
he  has  Friskarena  (3)  2:13§  by  Bayswater  Wilkes, 
Lorna  Doone  a  five  year-old  sister  to  the  above  and 
McFadyen  a  two-year-old  colt  by  Diablo,  out  of  Bee 
by  Sterling,  in  tbe  hands  of  S.  H.  Hoy  at  Winters, 
and  a  Diablo  colt  in  the  hands  of  Fred  Chadbourne  at 
Pleasanton.  He  also  keeps  his  weather  eye  on  a  very 
select  band  of  broodmares  and  he  is  breeding  along 
lines  that  should  someday  make  his  farm  even  more 
well  known.  One  youngster  he  owns  and  can  point 
to  with  pride  is  Palite,  a  two-year-old  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes,  out  of  Palita  (2)  2:16  by  Palo  Alto;  grandam 
Elsie  (dam  of  5)  by  Gen.  Benton;  third  dam  Elaine  by 
Mess.  Duroc,  etc. 

J.  W.  Marshall  is  another  of  Dixon's  breeders  who 
believes  that  the  very  best  just  about  suits  him  and 
he  owns  some  that  are  bred  in  the  purple.  He  is  the 
fortunate  owner  of  one  of  the  very  few  colts  by  the 
sire  of  Mamie  R.  (3)  2:15}  and  the  one  he  owns  is  a 
four-year-old  pacing  mare  called  Our  Mamie,  and  out 
of  Trix  (dam  of  Mona  Wilkes  (2)  2:175;  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes.  This  one  is  said  to  be  too  good  to  talk  about 
right  now.  He  also  has  a  full  sister  to  Alton,  de- 
scribed above;  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Demonio,  dam 
by  Phallap,  and  some  promising  youngsters  by  Diablo. 
His  great  mare  Sophie  by  Robt.  McGregor  is  safe  in 
foal  to  Jules  Verne. 

The  popular  young  auctioneer  and  horseman  W.  G. 
Harris  has  been  dealing  very  successfully  in  high 
actors  and  recently  sold  to  M.  H.  De  Young  of  San 
Francisco  a  cheBtnut  coach  team  of  quality.  Last 
week  he  purchased  of  Frank  Wire,  Davisville,  a  team 
of  16}  hand  brown  coachers  that  promise  to  develop 
into  the  right  kind  with  a  little  education 

Dr.  J.  H.  Haile  is  the  owner  of  a  right  good  mare 
by  Bradtmoor,  dam  by  Echo,  and  a  four-year-old  filly 
by  Isaac  D.,  out  of  the  above  mare.  The  filly  will  be 
bred  to  Alton. 

The  handsome  young  McKinney  stallion  Money 
Mack  by  McKinney  2:11  J,  dam  Patti  Washington  by 
Geo.  Washington,  is  making  a  part  of  his  season  here 
in  charge  of  W.  S.  Kellaway.  He  is  a  nicely  turned 
bay  horse,  with  a  very  nice  head  and  neck  and  is  said 
to  have  his  share  of  the  speed  of  the  family.  He  is 
owned  by  A.  B.  Rodman  of  Woodland. 

HOY  STRING  AT  WINTERS. 

Winters,  March  8— The  veteran  reinsman  Sam  H. 
Hoy  is  the  only  trainer  of  prominence  located  at 
Winters  and  he  and  his  son  will  have  their  hands 
full,  now  having  almost  a  score  of  trotters  and  pacers 
in  the  course  of  preparation  for  the  summer's  cam- 
paign. In  addition  to  their  old  standby,  Bayswater 
Wilkes  2:25}  by  Sable  Wilkes  2:18,  that  is  making  a 
season  three  days  at  Dixon  and  three  at  Winters  in 
charge  of  Will  Hoy,  they  now  have  the  following  in 
training:  Friskarena  (3)  2:13J  by  Bayswater  Wilkes 
2:25},  out  of  Bee  by  Sterling;  Lorna  Doone,  a  five-year- 


old  sister  to  the  above  mare;  and  McFadyen,  a  very 
promising  two-year  old,  all  owned  by  Del  Dudley,  of 
Dixon;  Ruby  H.,  a  pacing  mare  by  Bayswater  Wilkes, 
out  of  Smut  (dam  of  Rita  H.  2:11  J,  etc  )  by  Prompter, 
that  worked  in  2:16  last  year;  Little  Babe  2:25},  a 
black  trotting  mare  by  Bradtmoor;  The  Oregon,  a 
four-year-old  pacer  by  Altamont,  out  of  Algenie  (dam 
of  Kelly  Briggs2:09})  by  Algona;  Jules  Verne,  a  hand- 
some five-year-old  stallion  by  Demonio  that  trotted  in 
2:22  last  fall  and  is  now  being  worked  at  the  pace; 
Suisun,  a  green  pacing  mare  by  Demonio;  a  three- 
year-old  pacing  colt  by  Bayswater  Wilkes,  out  of 
Bessie  Rankin  2:13J  by  Altamont,  owned  by  Milton 
Keifer,  Woodland;  a  two-year-old  trotting  filly  by 
Bayswater  Wilkes,  dam  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  owned 
by  Thornton  Glide,  Dixon;  Ben  H.,  a  three-year-old 
trotter  by  Capt.  Jones,  out  of  a  mare  by  Bayswater 
Wilkes,  owned  by  Will  Hoy ;  a  green  mare  by  Diawood 
2:11,  out  of  the  dam  of  Ben  H. ;  a  two-year-old  bay 
pacing  filly  by  Bayswater  Wilkes,  out  of  Easter 
Wilkes;  and  a  promising  green  trotter  by  Oro  Bel- 
mont. Nothing  in  the  string  has  been  given  any  stiff 
miles  yet,  but  about  all  of  the  lot  have  been  given 
quarters  at  a  2:25  gait  and  will  be  ready  for  business 
in  a  few  weeks.  Bayswater  Wiikes  is  looking  in  the 
finest  shape  this  spring  and  there  is  a  big  demand  for 
his  services.  Besides  being  a  sire  of  such  well  known 
performers  as  Kelly  Briggs  2:09}  and  Friskarena  (3) 
2:13|,  he  gets  the  kind  that  have  quality  and  finish 
along  with  their  speed,  the  kind  that  are  always 
sought  after  by  breeders.  A  number  of  high  class 
mares  are  already  booked  to  him  and  he  should  have 
a  big  season. 

DAVISVILLE  ITEMS. 

Davisville,  March  9— Davisville  is  not  the  biggest 
town  on  the  map  but  it  stands  well  up  when  it  comes 
to  the  trotting  horse  business  and  the  men  who  are 
interested  in  the  breeding  industry  here  may  be 
always  found  in  line  for  advancement.  One  of  the 
latest  projects  on  tap  is  a  new  race  track  and  if  every 
thing  goes  along  smoothly  a  first-class  half-mile  or 
three-quarters  mile  ring  will  be  built  on  a  nice  strip  of 
land  right  on  the  edge  of  town,  which  is  now  under 
the  control  of  the  popular  liveryman  I.  B.  HugheB, 
who  is  quite  a  hu9tler  and  should  make  a  very  suc- 
cessful manager.  This  talk  of  a  new  track  here  has 
created  a  wonderful  amount  of  interest  there  and  in 
all  probability  Davisville  will  be  in  line  with  a  meet- 
ing in  1906. 

Carey  Montgomery  is  one  of  the  most  prominent 
horsemen  here  and  at  his  ranch  a  short  piece  from 
town  is  located  a  very  useful  half-mile  track,  which  is 
the  only  one  in  the  vicinity,  and  where  he  trains  a 
small  but  select  string.  The  pride  of  the  lot  is  the 
chestnut  three-year-old  filly,  Lady  Carratta,  by  Nut- 
wood Wilkes,  out  of  Abbie  Woodnut  (dam  of  Diawood 
2:11  and  Abdine  2:17)  by  Woodnut,  and  it  goes  with- 
out saying  that  she  is  a  really  high-class  prospect 
and  has  shown  a  mile  in  2:36  with  quarters  at  a  2:20 
gait.  She  is  a  nicely  made,  well  coupled  filly  with  the 
best  of  legs  and  feet  and  her  owner  expects  to  make  a 
high-class  race  mare  out  of  her.  Mr.  Montgomery  is 
also  training  Chaser,  a  three-year-old  pacing  colt  by 
Diablo  2:09},  dam  Chippie  by  Tilton  Almont  and  May 
Logan  a  yearling  sister  to  the  famous  California  side- 
wheeler  Sir  Albert  S.  2:03|.  A  recent  acquisition  to 
his  ranch  is  the  handsome  chestnutstallion  Steinmont 
40582  by  Arthur  B.  2:17}  out  of  Francisca  (dam  of  I 
Direct  2:12},  Sable  Francis  2:15}  and  the  three  others) 
by  Almont  33.  In  addition  to  this  royal  breeding  he 
is  a  horse  of  the  most  striking  appearance,  rich  chest- 
nut, standing  close  to  16  hands,  with  a  very  sy metri- 
cal conformation  and  is  destined  to  develop  into  a 
successful  sire  He  will  make  the  season  in  the  hands 
of  Mr.  Montgomery  and  will  then  be  raced 

O.  B.  Wilbur  is  training  Sleepy  Joe2:26}  by  Director 
Jr.  out  of  the  dam  of  Don  2:10  and  will  probably  be 
able  to  give  him  a  good  mark  this  fall. 

Johnny  Johnson  is  educating  a  full  brother  to  Don 
2:10  by  Falroseand  he  looks  like  a  high  class  prospect. 

S.  W.  Lillard  has  his  hands  full  right  at  present  as 
he  is  in  charge  of  the  popular  stallions  Athamax  36927 
by  Athadon  2:27,  dam  Lusterine  (dam  of  Listerine 
2:13}  and  Donnatrine  (3)  2:26})  by  Onward,  grandam 
Minnie  Wren;  and  Wild  Rose  by  Falrose  out  of  Gypsy 
Maid  by  St.  Clair.  Both  are  well  made  bay  stallions, 
the  former  a  trotter  and  the  latter  a  pacer  and  each 
has  shown  quite  a  turn  of  speed.  It  will  be  noticed 
that  Athamax  is  a  very  strongly  bred  horse  and  an 
inbred  Onward,  but  he  lacks  the  usual  roughness  of 
that  famous  family,  and  his  first  colts  have  a  great 
finish  and  natural  turn  of  speed.  Wild  Rose  is  a 
magnificent  big  horse  and  an  oily  going  pacer  and 
promises  to  prove  a  worthy  representative  of  his 
famous  sire. 

In  the  same  quarters  is  located  that  iron  race  horse 
John  A.  2:12},  in  charge  of  T.D.White  and  he  has 
proven  to  be  one  of  the  most  popular  horses  here.  He 
is  a  very  handsome  horse,  standing  16}  hands  and 
weighing  over  1200  pounds;  by  Wayland  W.  2:12}  out 
of  Lady  Moor  (dam  of  Arthur  W.  2:11},  etc.Jby  Grand 
Moor;  grandam  the  thoroughbred  Dinsmbre  Mare. 
John  A.  has  been  a  successful  race  horse  and  has 
been  returned  a  winner  every  year  since  he  was  a 
three-year-old.  He  has  beaten  2:10  in  his  races  and 
is  expected  to  earn  a  record  close  to  2:08  this  summer. 

0.  H.  Wright  is  the  fortunate  owner  of  the  young 
pacing  stallion  Mona  Wilkesand  with  properhandling 
he  will  undoubtedly  make  himself  known.  He  is  a 
remarkably  handsome,  rangy  built  bay  horse  with  a 
good  neck  and  intelligent  head  and  reminded  the 
writer  very  much  of  one  or  two  of  the  famous  race 
horses  of  the  Hal  tribe.  He  is  a  son  of  Falrose  and 
his  first  three  dams  are  by  Guy  Wiikes,  Noonday  and 
Williamson's  Belmont  in  tbe  order  named. 

1.  B.  Hughss  has  recently  purchased  the  trotting 
mare  Lena  2:30  by  Director  Prince  and  will  breed  her 
to  Nushagak. 

W.  J.  Stone  owns  Babe  by  Silver  King,  now  heavy 
in  foal  to  John  A.  2:12f  and  will  breed  her  back  to  the 
same  sire. 

Elmo  Montgomery,  who  made  a  successful  campaign 
with  Seymow  M.  2:23  has  no  trotters  in  training  this 


spring  but  has  a  couple  of  thoroughbreds  that  are 
thought  to  be  good  enough  to  get  the  "coon  skins" 
in  good  company.  B.  S.  McMAHAN. 


James  Butler  Buys  Mamie  R.  2:15  1-2. 

The  little  trotting  filly  Mamie  R.,  that  Mannie 
Reams  campaigned  in  Calffornia  last  year,  has  been 
purchased  by  James  Butler,  proprietorof  East  View 
Farmland  tne  owners  of  four-year-olds  that  will  race 
in  California  this  year  are  feeling  easier,  as  it  will  not 
be  so  hard  for  them  to  win  first  money  with  the  gran- 
daughter  of  Oro  Wilkes  out  of  the  the  Slate.  Mr. 
Butler  has  been  on  a  visit  to  his  California  fairn  at 
Pleasanton,  and  hearing  about  the  good  showing 
made  by  this  little  mare,  went  up  to  Dixon  last  week 
and  paid  the  price  Mr.  Reams  placed  on  her.  which 
was  not  too  bigh  figure  of  $6000.  Mamie R.'s  history 
has  been  related  before  in  these  columns,  but  a  short 
resume  of  it  will  not  be  out  of  place  She  was  bred 
by  Rush  &  Haile  of  Suisun,  and  her  dam  dying  soon 
after  the  filly  was  foaled,  her  breeders  gave  her  to 
Mannie  Beams,  who  raised  her  on  cow's  milk.  As  a 
two-year-old  she  was  started  once  in  a  field  of  aged 
horses  and  finished  third  each  heat,  tbe  fastest  of 
which  was  2:21f.  As  a  three-year-old  in  1904  she  had 
no  stake  engagements  but  was  started  in  three  races, 
the  summaries  of  which  are  here  given: 

Pleasanton,  July  29,  three-year-olos,  $600— Mamie 
R.  1-1-1.  Murray  M  4-2-2,  Paprika  2-4-4,  Allesandro 
3-3-3,  Maggie  Glynn  5-5-5.     Time— 2:22},  2:22},  2:21}. 

San  Jose,  Aug.  4,  2:18  class,  $600— Briney  K  1-1-1, 
Mamie  R.  2-2-2,  Verona  3-3-3,  Cicero  4-4-4.  Time— 
2:20,  2:19,  2:18}. 

Santa  Rosa,  Aug.  18,  three-year-olds,  2:30  class, 
$400— Mamie  R.  1-1-2-1,  Murray  M.  2-2-1-2,  Paprika 
3  3-3-3,  Allesandro  4-4-dis.  time— 2:18,  2:18,  2:14, 
2:15}. 

The  sire  of  Mamie  R.  was  a  two-year-old  son  of  Oro 
Wilkes   that   was  out   of  Auntie  by  Dawn  2:18|,  next 


Mamie  E.  (3)  2:15y. 

dam  Netteo  by  Anteeo  2:16},  next  dam  Nettie  Bennett 
by  Alexander  2:31},  next  dam  Jennie  Shepherd  by 
Williamson's  Belmont.  The  dam  of  Mamie  R.  is 
Moscova  by  Belmont  64,  her  dam  Mosa,  great  brood- 
mare by  Woodford  Mambrino  345,  next  dam  Heimosa 
2:23}  by  Ed  win  Forrest  49,  next  dam  by  Tom  Teemer 
andnext  dam  by  Cannon's  Whip.  The  breeding  of 
Mamie  R.  is  rich  in  trotting  blood  with  a  generous 
leavening  of  the  thoroughbred  that  has  been  demon- 
strated to  be  a  good  cross  with  trotting  strains,  viz.: 
Williamson's  Belmont,  Whip  Sally  Rus6ell  and 
Columbine.  At  the  time  the  two-year-old  son  of  Oro 
Wilkes  was  mated  with  Moscova,  the  old  mare  was 
about  eighteen  years  old. 

Mamie  R.  is  sound  and  all  right  in  every  way,  and 
his  record  of  2:15}  should  be  lowered  to  2:10  this  year. 
We  congratulate  Mr.  Reams  on  selling  the  filly  for  a 
fair  price  and  Mr.  Butler  on  getting  such  a  valuable 
one  for  his  string  of  campaigners.  Chas.  De  Ryder 
will  have  her  in  charge  at  Pleasanton  and  will  take 
her  East  about  May  1st,  with  the  other  horses  of  East 
View  Farm's  campaigning  stable. 


After  Twenty  Years'   Feeding 

San  Francisco,  Cal  ,  Dec.  27,  1904. 
Manhattan.  Fooil  Co.,  C.  P.  Kertell, Mgr. 

Dear  Sir:— After  twenty  years  or  constant  feeding  of  your  cel- 
ebrated Red  Ball  Brand  Stock  Food  to  ourhorses,  I  can  cheerfully 
testify  that  I  have  always  found  it  reliable.  It  does  all  you  claim 
for  it.  aDd  I  have  ft  fed  as  regularly  as  oats.  I  have  used  a  100-lb. 
sack  of  your  Food  every  month  during  the  past  twenty  years,  and 
if  any  one  knows  about  its  good  qualities.  I  ought  to  know.  It 
keeps  horses  in  a  healthy  condition,  prevents  colic,  cures  cough, 
strengthens  the  kidneys  and  fattens  stock  I  give  it  my  hearty 
endorsement,  because  I  know  it  Is  excellent  for  horses.  There  is 
nothing  better.  Yours  truly, 

La  Grande  Laundry  Co  , 
WM.  Corbett,  Sec 


The  Reason  Why 

So  many  owners  of  horses  are  successful  in  keeping  them  In  good 
health  is  that  they  anticipate  probable  dangers  of  germ  diseases 
by  keeping  on  hand  a  constant  supply  of  Craft's  Distemper  and 
Cough  Cure.  It  Is  a  sure  condition  of  success  in  life  that  one 
must  attend  to  details.  The  poor  dumb  animals  can  not  care  for 
themselves  when  they  are  restrained  in  the  barn  and  by  the  liriule 
bit.  In  accepting  service  from  this  noble  creature  the  owner  in- 
curs the  responsibility  for  Its  health  Craft's  Cure  Is  both  a 
preventive  and  a  guaranteed  cure.  The  manufacturers.  Wells 
Medicine  Co..  Lafayette,  Ind  ,  offer  to  return  the  price  where  It 
falls  to  cure.  Sensible  ownersot  horses  will  consult  their  drilggfsts 
at  once  if  not  already  supplied. 


Free  Service  to  a  High  Class  Stallion. 

Six  high   class  mares  will  be  given  free  service  to 
Milbrae  2:16}.     Milbrae  is  by  Prince  Airlie  (by  Guy 
Wilkes)  dam  Fearless  by  Fallis.    He  is  a  splendid 
individual  and  will  be  raced  this  year.     Apply  tc

Sunday  Sport  at  Oakland. 


The  five-eighths  track  near  Sixteenth  Street  Station, 
Oakland,  has  been  pretty  wet  during  the  raining  sea- 
son but  now  that  the  sunny  days  have  come  again  it 
has  dried  out  and  is  frequented  by  the  Oakland  and 
Alameda  horsemen  every  day  and  on  Sunday  fore- 
noons there  is  always  a  big  crowa  to  see  the  brushes 
between  the  trotters  and  pacers  owned  by  well  known 
road  drivers  of  Alameda  county.  A  correspondent 
senos  us  the  following  account  of  last  Sunday's  sport: 

The  fun  began  at  10  o'clock  with  Hon.  Jerry  Doran 
of  Bear  Creek  avenue  and  Albert  Abbott  of  the  Penn. 
Oil  Co.  as  judges,  Victor  Reems  starter,  Harry  Buckley 
clerk  of  the  scales  and  A.G.Andrews  in  the  timer's 
stand. 

Tne  first  brush  was  between  Mr.  Bellingall,  Sr.  and 
Bellingall,  Jr.  with  their  beautiful  mares  by  Secretary 
and  W.  T.  Harris  with  his  grand  roan  pacer  Lex  by 
Old  Black  Joe  in  which  Lex  got  a  bad  start  but  came 
down  the  stretch  like  Maud  S.  and  won  In  grand  style. 

Next  was  between  Mr.  Heeseman's  sorrel  horse  and 
Mr.  Dorn,  Jr  's  pacing  mare  by  Whips  in  which  H. 
0.  Brown  held  the  reins  over  Mr.  Heeseman's  entry; 
It  was  exciting  and  every  inch  contested  but  Mr. 
Dorn  won.  The  judgeB  not  being  satisfied  ordered 
Mr.  Heeseman  to  mount  the  rig  and  the  result  was 
the  second  heat  went  to  Mr.  Hpeseman  in  easy  fashion. 

The  next  go  was  between  Mr.  Prindle's  chestnut 
mare  by  Silver  Bow  and  the  Messrs.  Bellingalls' 
mares.  The  Prindle  mare  won  by  two  lengths  It 
could  have  been  been  won  by  Mr.  Bellingall  but  he 
pulled  so  hard  on  the  lines  that  his  mare  could  not 
catch  up,  while  Mr.  Prindle  took  advantage  by  push- 
ing on  his  lines,  and  the  judges  awarded  the  race  to 
the  memory  of  the  Silver  Bow  family. 

The  next   was   a  selling   purse  on  credit   between 

Thos.  Moran,  Sr.,  with  his  colt  by  Altamont,  his  son 

Thomas   with   his  horse  by  Arthur  W.,  Mr.  Smith  of 

the  Bl  ick  Hawk  stables  with  hisgreat  horse  Sampson, 

Geo   Westphal  with    his   mare   by  Bay  Bird.     In  this 

oveni  Mr.  Westphal's   mare  stepped    on   a  cigarette 

butt  just  at  the  finish  and  fell   flat   throwing  George 

Aer  bead  and   just   behind    the  others.     But  no 

as   hurt  nor  a  thing   broke.     The  judges  kept 

eats  and  announced  to  the  ladies  that  no  one 


was  hurt  and  that  the  race  would  be  decided,  next 
Sunday. 

Between  heats  our  old  time  friend  and  knight  of  the 
sulky  G.  Hines  gave  us  an  exhibition  of  the  speed  of 
his  grand  little  mare  Twilight  hitched  to  a  phaeton 
and  it  was  plainly  shown  that  she  has  not  lost  any  of 
her  old  time  Bpeed. 

The  writer  had  the  pleasure  to  be  driven  to  the 
track  behind  that  great  young  stallion  Carroll  Rae  by 
Boodle,  dam  Twenty-third  by  Director. 

Sir  Perkins  of  Athamax  fame  viewed  the  sport 
from  the  paddock. 

The  twenty-third  avenue  delegation  came  down  in 
a  new  tally-ho  driven  by  its  owner  Bill  Reed. 

H.  D.  Brown  was  present  with  his  trotter  by  Diablo 
but  owing  to  his  moving  on  Monday  to  Pleasanton 
did  not  start  him. 

Fred  Washburn, Dan  Geary  and  many  others  viewed 
the  finish  from  the  lawn. 

Dr.  William  Henry  Funston  did  not  start  his  grand 
young  stallion  by  McKinney  owing  to  his  rapid 
growth. 

Mr.  Lemon  of  Teddy  the  Roan  fame  did  not  put  in 
his  appearance.  The  crowd  was  disappointed  In  not 
seeing  the  hero  of  the  home  stretch. 

Mr.  Swanson  of  the  Willow  Basket  Manufacturing 
Co.  enjoypd  the  sport  from  the  starters  stand. 

The  Alameda  delegation  did  not  get  here  in  time  to 
witness  the  best  of  the  sport. 

There  was  nothing  to  mar  the  sport.  The  day  was 
simply  grand  and  the  gardener  and  janitor  had  the 
grounds  and  grandstand  in  the  finest  shape  possible, 
and  everyone  went  away  well  paid  for  the  trip.  The 
flowers,  that  is,  the  wild  ones  were  in  full  bloom  and 
the  myrtle  and  the  ivy  were  greeD.  It  is  the  intention 
of  the  club  to  give  these  meetings  once  every  week  to 
prepare  their  horses  for  the  meeting  to  be  held  at 
Alviso.  Such  Waller.

Work  Huse  Parades. 


The  Boston  Work  Horse  Parade  Association  have 
begun  preparations  for  their  third  annual  parade, 
which  will  take  place  on  Memorial  Day,  May  30,  1905. 

The  two  parades  already  held  were  both  extremely 
successful.  At  each  parade  something  like  eight  hun- 
dred horses  were  shown,  and  four  hundred  prizes  were 
awarded.  The  exhibition  was  witnessed  with  enthu- 
siasm by  an  immense  crowd  of  spectators,  especial 
interest  being  shown  in  the  class  of  old  horses  This 
was  open  to  horses  who  had  been  In  actual  service  for 
not  less  than  ten  years,  and  thirty-two  veterans  were 
exhibited,  every  one  being  in  excellent  condition.  An 
old  fire  department  horse,  still  in  service,  headed  the 
procession. 

The  association  is  purely  a  charitable  one,  its  object 
being  to  improve  the  condition  and  treatment  of  work 
horses;  and  it  is  declared  by  competent  observers  that 
this  object  has  been  accomplished.  Owners  and  drivers 
take  more  pride  in  the  appearance  of  their  horses  and 
the  public,  generally,  take  more  interest  in  the  wel- 
fare of  the  horses  that  they  see  at  work  in  the  streets. 

At  the  second  parade  a  well  known  horseman,  who 
has  often  acted  as  judge  at  horse  shows,  exclaimed: 
"After  all  this  is  the  real  thing."  There  Is  no  prettier 
sight  in  the  world  than  a  collection  of  draught  horses 
with  arched  necks,  shining  coats  and  well  rounded 
bodies. 

Similar  parades  have  been  held  in  Kansas  City,  and 
Toronto,  Canada,  and  they  ought  to  be  an  annual 
occurrence  in  every  large  city  in  the  United  States. — 
Chicago  Horseman. 

John  H.  Shults,  owner  of  Axworthy  2:15}  and  for 
whom  Millard  Sanders  is  training  a  lot  of  good  colts 
at  Memphis,  says  that  if  he  could  secure  the  Brighton 
Baach  track  he  would  give  a  meeting  there  with  his 
starting  system,  introduced  at  Empire  last  season,  to 
govern  all  starts.  He  is  at  Memphis  now  watching 
his  colts  work. 

A  new  world 's  record  for  five  miles  on  the  ice,  trot- 
ting, was  made  at  the  lately  held  meeting  at  Ottawa, 
Can.  The  time  was  12:30A  made  by  Conduct,  son  of 
the  Electioneer  stallion  Conductor.

Non-Figure  Families  Declining  and  Soon   Will 
Be  a  Thing  of  the  Past. 

[Dr.  M.  M.  Leach  in  Kentucky  Farmer  and  Breeder.] 
In  Volume  I  and  II  of  the  American  Stud  Book 
mares  tnat  traced  to  native  sources  far  numbered 
those  coming  from  imported  lines,  also  by  far  the 
greater  n  urn  oer  of  the  imported  mares  traced  to  a 
Bruce-Lowe  tap  root,  or  in  other  words  they  sprang 
from  one  of  the  45  families  numbered  by  Bruce-Lowe; 
but  some  of  the  imported  mares  found  in  these  vol- 
umes can  not  be  traced  to  any  of  the  45  figure  families 
and  from  such  families  quite  a  number  of  mares  louud 
in  the  body  of  the  worK  descend.  We  can  not  very 
well  class  these  mares  as  belonging  to  the  figure 
families,  nor  can  we  place  them  alongside  those  that 
are  of  purely  Arnarican  origin.  Bo  I  have  made  a 
special  list  of  them  and  their  descendants.  Nowadays 
one  seldom  comes  across  an  imported  mare  that  can 
not  be  traced  to  one  of  the  Bruce-Lowe  figure  families, 
and  I  don't  suppose  that  it  will  ba  long  oefore  these 
imported  non-figure  families  pass  out  altogether.  In 
Volumes  I  and  II  no  less  than  5374  mares  are  to  be 
found  that  are  of  purely  American  origin,  and  3081, 
or  a  little  over  half  as  many,  descend  from  some  one 
of  the  figure  families,  including  456  imported  mares, 
from  which  mares  all  the  rest  of  the  figure  mares  are 
descended.  In  Vol.  VIII,  the  latest  edition  of  the 
Stud  Boot — it  is  sincerely  to  be  hoped  that  we  shall 
soon  have  another — the  positions  of  the  figure  and 
non-figure  families  are  exactly  reversed,  the  figure 
brigade  having  a  little  over  twice  as  many  mares  as 
have  the  non-hgure  families.  Surely  this  is  enough 
to  convince  a  man  of  ordinary  intelligence  that  the 
dav  of  breeding  race  horses  from  mares  tracing  to 
unknown  sources  has  passed  by.  From  the  publica- 
tion of  Vols.  I  and  II  to  the  advent  of  Vol.  VIII  the 
figure  families  show  a  gain  of  2000  and  the  other  side 
a  loss  of  3000.  All  this  has  practically  taken  place  in 
the  last  thirty  years. 

I  append  a  table  showing  the  number  of  mares  be- 
longing to  each  family  in  Vols.  I  and  II,  IV  and  VIII, 
and  also  the  number  of  mares  in  each  of  these  volumes 
that  trace  to  American  sources,  and  at  the  bottom  of 
the  lists  the  number  of  mares  I  have  found  it  im- 
possible to  trace  to  any  figure.

Families  No.  1  and  2  in  Vol.  VII  hold  just  about  the 
same  positions  as  they  did  in  Vols.  I  and  II.  No.  3 
shows  a  slight  falling  off.  This  I  do  not  quite  under- 
stand, for  many  of  our  most  famous  matrons  and  sires 
descend  from  the  dam  of  the  two  True  Blues.  Family 
4  has  made  a  big  increase,  in  fact  has  as  nearly  as 
possible  doubled  itself.  The  Cub  mare  and  her  de- 
scendants are  responsible  in  a  great  measure  for  this 
big  gain,  although  the  family  has  received  smendid 
reinforcement  through  Myrtle,  and  I  believe  that  this 
fresher  branch  of  the  family  may  now  be  fairly  stated 
to  be  ousting  the  descendants  of  the  Cub  mare  from 
the  pride  of  place.  Both  of  these  lines  have  demon- 
strated their  ability  to  produce  good  race  horses  and 
mares,  and  also  turn  out  many  a  great  studhorse. 
No.  5  comes  out  very  well,  though  but  few  of  the 
members  of  this  family  were  imported  early,  or  doubt- 
less it  would  have  taken  higher  rank.  The  Popirijay 
mare  establishediquite  a  celebrated  branch,  but  later 
importations,  such  as  imp.  Filagree,  have  done  very 
well  indeed.  No.  6  came  out  third  in  the  number  of 
mares  in  the  first  volumes  and  holds  the  same  place  in 
the  latest  edition — evidence  that  this  line,  though 
decaying  abroad,  is  still  going  strong  in  this  country. 
The  Belsize  Arabian  mare  gave  the  family  its  first 
good  boost.  Since  that  time  it  has  never  looked 
back.  Nos.  7  and  8  are  not  large  families  and  we 
could  well  stand  Borne  more  of  these  valuable  strains. 
No.  9  ha9  more  than  doubled  itself  and  has  always 


been  a  great  running  family  here,  imp.  Allegrante  and 
her  dam,  Phantomia,  have  a  lot  to  do  with  thesuccess 
of  this  famiry.  Imp.  Peggy  gave  the  No.  10  family  a 
great  send  off,  but  only  three  imported  mares  tracing 
to  this  family  are  found  in  Vol.  I.  But  43  mares  alto- 
gether are  found  in  the  early  volumes.  They  are  al- 
most all  of  them  descendants  of  Peggy.  Now  we  are 
doing  much  better,  for  Vol.  VII  gives  a  return  of  142 
mares  tracing  to  this,  one  of  the  very  best  of  families. 
No  doubt  the  family  will  become  stronger  year  by 
year,  for  you  cannot  afford  to  be  without  the  blood 
that  produces  a  Beldame,  a  Watercress  or  a  Disguise. 
No.  11,  for  some  reason  or  other,  does  not  seem  to 
have  accomplished  very  much  in  this  land,  with  the 
exception  of  Emilia,  the  dam  of  Australian,  and  an- 
cestress of  Tanya,  Spinaway,  etc. 

Family  No.  12  makes  a  bold  show,  holding  second 
place  in  number  of  mares  in  Vol.  VIII  and  was  fourth 
in  Vols.  I  and  II.  Of  course  Duchess  for  a  long  time 
was  the  mainstay  and  as  a  running  line  it  is  indeed 
hard  to  beat,  though  really  good  sires  tracing  to 
Duchess  are  not  as  numerous  as  one  might  suppose. 
No.  13,  supposedly  the  unlucky  number,  has  done 
hardly  anything  worthy  of  note  and  shows  only  a 
very  slight  increase  in  number  of  mares,  but  No.  14 
has  made  a  big  stride  forward.  Then  we  come  to  the 
curious  and  instructive  case  of  No.  15.  This  family  in 
the  first  column  stands  second  in  numbers  only  to  No. 
4,  and  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  No  4  has  more  im- 
ported mares  in  would  be  actually  first,  with  364  mares 
against  358  for  Family  4.  The  position  of  the  family 
was  almost  entirely  due  to  the  importation  of  Selima 
by  the  Godolphin  Arabian.  In  fact  more  mares  trace 
to  this  Selima  than  to  any  other  mare  in  Vols.  I  and 
II.  Now  what  is  the  cause  of  this  falling  off  in  num- 
bers, for  we  have  only  182  mares  of  the  family  in  our 
latest  edition.  With  such  a  splendid  start  one  should 
have  at  least  expected  the  family  to  held  its  own. 
The  fact  is,  aline  of  blood  to  mares,  just  like  a  line  of 
stallions,  will  usually  play  right  out  after  a  certain 
length  of  time  in  this  country.  In  the  case  of  Family 
6  the  Belsize  Arabian  branch  of  the  family  is  not 
nearly  so  strong  as  it  once  was.  Even  the  Peggy 
family  is  about  done  now.  It's  the  same  way  with  all 
these  families.  A  couple  of  decades  ago  there  was 
nothing  but  Gallopade;  even  here  the  rot  has  set  in. 
It  won't  be  long  ere  Levity  will  be  a  back  number; 
perhaps  it  is  not  quite  so  flourishing  now  as  in  the 
days  gone  by.  Now  the  reason  for  all  this  deteriora- 
tion 1  take  to  be  purely  climatic  conditions.  We  can 
not  ever  hope  or  expect  to  compete  against  English- 
bred  bloodstock  without  the  aid  of  frequent  importa- 
tion. We  cannot  unaided,  do  what  we  may,  keep  up 
our  general  standard  of  excellence,  solely  on  account 
of  the  climatic  conditions  being  more  favorable  for 
the  development  of  bloodstock  over  there  than  they 
are  with  us  here. 

Now  we  come  to  another  remarkable  case— that  of 
family  No.  16.  No  mares  belonging  to  this  family  ap- 
pear in  Vols,  land  II.  Vol,  IV  has  two  and  Vol. 
VIII  only  25.  Verily  these  few  mares  have  accom 
plished  wonders,  and  it  behoves  our  breeders  at  every 
opportunity  that  presentB  itself  to  secure  more  of  this, 
to  my  thinking,  the  most  valuable  blood  in  the  worla 
No.  17  has  taken  a  big  drop  Evidently  this  line  is 
about  Dlayed  out,  both  in  this  country  and  abroad. 
In  England  they  have  not  had  a  big  winner  from  17 
family  since  Regalia  won  the  Oaks  forty  years  ago. 
No.  18  has  done  fairly  well,  the  BudeHght  by  Glencoe 
branch,  whose  second  dam  was  imported  Miss  Ship- 
ton,  is  about  the  strongest  branch  of  the  family.  No. 
19  comes  out  fairly  well  with  71  mares,  against  38  earl- 
ier. This  family  annually  produces  some  good  racing 
material  but  it  is  not  to  be  expected  that  the  line, 
essentially  a  staying  one,  will  do  particularly  well 
here,  where  the  majority  of  the  races  are  curtailed  as 
to  distance.  No.  20  is  still  very  strong  in  point  of 
numbers,  but  it  is  hardly  as  good  a  producing  family 
as  it  Bhould  be.  Trumpetta  is  of  course  mainly  re- 
sponsible for  the  large  number  of  mares  returned  for 
it  in  Vols  I  and  II. 

No.  21  has  fallen  off  somewhat,  but  22  is  a  very  live 
number  here  at  present.  And  now  we  come  to  one  of 
the  bigge9t  gains  in  point  of  numbers  of  all  the  fami- 
lies, for  23  has  jumped  from  56  mares  to  243.  These 
are,  nearly  all  of  them,  descendants  of  Gallopade. 
Still  I  firmly  believe  that  the  best  days  of  this  famous 
family  are  over  We  are  getting  too  far  away  again 
from  the  imported  source.  The  big  winners  are  not 
coming  so  frequently  as  they  once  did,  acd  the  decay 
has  set  in.  No.  24,  always  a  good  winning  and  sire 
family,  does  not  gain  much  in  point  of  numbers.  But 
few  imported  mareB  have  been  brought  over  that  be- 
long to  this  family.  Weatherwitch  is  the  most  illus- 
trious matron  oi  the  lot.  All  of  her  descendants  have 
done  well.  No.  27  has  come  up  nicely,  and  annually 
has  out  a  good  crop  of  winners.  No.  26,  one  of  the 
most  successful  producing  families  in  the  United 
States,  has  only  two  more  mares  now  than  it  had 
when  the  Stud  Book  was  first  published. 

Of  the  rest,  they  do  not  call  for  much  comment, 
except  32  and  40,  for  the  former  the  Thunderbolt  mare 
Alarm  established  a  strong  line,  and  for  the  latter 
Kitty  Fisher  is  the  only  imported  mare  that  has  so  far 
been  landed  on  these  shores,  yet  her  descendants 
numbered  121  in  Vols.  I  and  II,  but  notice  how  the 
line  is  fading  right  out,  for  in  Vol.  VIII,  we  have  a 
return  of  only  35  mares.  It  is  bound  to  go.  Kitty 
Fisher  did  splendidly  In  her  day,  hut  it's  gone  by. 

Mares  tracing  to  imported  sources  apart  from  the 
Bruce-Lowe  families  were  quite  numerous  in  Vols.  I 
and  II.  Many  of  them  trace  to  the  Spot  mare,  which 
I  take  to  be  a  branch  of  family  No.  5.  The  Peter 
Randolph  mare,  of  which  I  can  find  no  trace,  is  re- 
sponsible for  many  others.  Jenny  Dismal  has  a  host 
of  them  tracing  to  her,  as  has  had  Lord  Egremont's 
Highflyer  mare.  Only  61  of  these  mares  are  found  in 
Vol.  VIII,  as  against  226  for  Vols.  I  and  II.  It  is  only 
natural  to  suppose  that  before  many  more  editions  of 
the  Stud  Book  are  published  they  will  have  departed 
from  its  pages  altogether.

Trained  on  the  "Brush"  Plan. 


In  spite  of  the  expressed  opinion  of  many  trainers, 
that  the  "brush"  system  of  training  is  a  back  number 
method  of  fitting  youngsters  for  filling  racing  engage- 
ments, the  veteran  trainer,  Charles  Marvin,  evidently 
has  faith  in  it.  Recently,  in  telling  how  he  trained 
his  last  season's  great  two-year-old,  Bon  Voyage  2'15, 
Mr.  Marvin  said:  "I  broke  him  at  five  months  old, 
and  jogged  him  during  the  winter;  was  taken  to  the 
track  May  10  of  his  yearling  form,  and  was  given 
brush  work  every  day.  In  July  he  could  show  a 
quarter  of  a  miie  in  34  seeonds.  Late  in  July  I  worked 
him  a  half  mile  in  1:12.  Was  taken  sick  in  August 
and  not  worked  any  more  until  February  1  of  his  two- 
year-old  form.  Gave  him  jog  work  from  then  until 
the  track  was  opened.  Then  began  giving  him  brush 
work  of  quarters,  halve6  and  three-quarter  heats. 

"The  three-quarters  were  of  only  occasional  order. 
The  first  mile  I  ever  gave  him  was  on  July  28.  He 
trotted  in  2:45  and  repeated  in  2:2S.  After  that  began 
giving  him  miles  up  to  September  16.  Two  months 
and  two  days  from  the  time  he  received  his  first  mile 
in  2:45  he  won  his  stake  engagement  at  Cincinnati  in 
2:15|.  At  Lexington  he  also  won  in  2:15  and  2:15J. 
To  that  time  he  had  had  77  miles  in  73  days,  from  2:35 
to  2:15.  After  disposing  of  him  to  Mr  Clark  I  was  so 
strong  in  my  opinion  that  he  was  so  superior  to  all 
other  two-year-old  trotters  that  had  ever  been  pur- 
chased that  I  offered  to  wager  one  to  five  .n  thousands 
that  he  could  beat  the  2:10j  of  Arion,  if  Mr  Clark 
would  leave  him  in  my  charge  until  after  the 
Memphis  meeting."— Exchange. 


Free  Service  to  a  Good  Stallion. 

D.  S.  Mathews  of  Ryde,  on  the  Sacramento  river, 
offers  free  service  to  his  stallion,  Edward  B.  by  Stam 
B.,  first  dam  by  Dexter  Prince,  second  dam  by  Par- 
ker's Elect.  Edward  B.  is  coming  four  years  old,  is  a 
handsome  blood  bay  in  color,  stands  16J  hands  high 
and  weighs  1150  pounds.  He  has  extraordinarily 
good  feet  and  legs.  The  condition  for  free  service  is 
t bat  the  owner  of  the  mare  will  agree  to  enter  the 
foal  in  the  Californiacolt  stakes.  Excellent  pasturage 
and  good  care  taken  of  mares.  For  further  particu- 
lars address  D.  S.  Mathews,  Ryde,  Cal.  * 


This  season  will  mark  the  return  to  the  turf  of  two 
trotters  of  remarkable  merit  which  have  been  laid  up 
for  the  last  two  years.  They  are  Country  Jay  2:10| 
and  Peter  Sterling  2:11J.  Both  of  these  individuals 
are  at  present  unaer  the  care  of  W.  G.  Simpson  at 
The  Elms  and  have  wintered  in  fine  condition.  The 
triumphs  of  Country  Jay  and  Peter  SterliDg  have  not 
been  forgotten,  for  there  are  few  horses  living  or 
dead  which  have  equaled  their  recordseither  as  money 
winners  or  in  the  number  of  races  won.  During  the 
year  1901  Country  Jay  was  the  terror  of  every  driver 
and  trainer  on  the  Grand  Circuit,  and  met  with  few 
defeats.  The  same  can  be  said  of  Peter  Sterling,  the 
Northwesterner  which  came  down  to  the  Bluegrass 
and  captured  both  the  Kentucky  Futurity  and  the 
Louisville  Prize.  Country  Jay  belor-gs  to  Gus  Macey, 
who  is  down  at  Hot  Springs  spending  the  winter  look- 
ing after  a  bunch  of  thoroughbreds  in  which  he  has 
an  interest.  Before  going  south  he  turned  thiB  great 
chestnut  gelding  over  to  Simpson  and  told  him  to 
take  good  care  of  him.  These  instructions  are  being 
obeyed  to  the  letter,  for  outside  of  eating  his  three 
regular  meals  a  day  Country  Jay  has  not  done  much 
this  winter  except  his  daily  jog  over  the  frozen 
turnpikes.  The  same  treatment  has  been  accorded 
Peter  Sterling  although  he  is  not  half  so  deserving  of 
good  treatment.  He  has  a  bad  disposition,  and  is  one 
of  the  laziest  horses  which  ever  lived.  He  would  not 
move  out  of  his  tracks  in  a  month  if  he  was  notforced 
to.  After  his  sensational  win  in  the  Futurity  and 
Louisville  Prize,  which  were  contested  in  Louisville  in 
1901,  he  was  purchased  by  Frank  Worth,  of  Brooklyn, 
and  has  been  owned  by  him  since  that  time.  He  went 
lame  a  few  months  after  Mr.  Worth  purchased  him 
and  has  not  been  able  to  get  to  a  race.  He  is  a  much 
improved  horse  this  year  and  with  careful  training 
Mr.  Simpson  hopes  to  be  able  to  turn  him  over  to 
Mike  Bowerman  this  sp-iDg  in  such  good  condition 
that  Mr  Bowerman  will  not  have  any  trouble  in 
training  him  through  the  season. — Ky.  Stock  Farm. 


Cases  have  not  Infrequently  been  seen  at  sales  rings 
of  two  colts  or  fillies  of  approximately  the  same 
amount  of  Bpeed  and  with  the  same  qualities  as  re- 
gards manners  and  individuality,  realizing  prices  the 
difference  of  which  can  only  be  explained  by  the  fact 
that  one  was  engaged  extensively  in  futurities  and 
other  colt  stakes,  while  the  other  was  not,  says  the 
Kentucky  Stock  Farm.  The  one  may  bring  less  than 
one-fourth  as  much  as  the  other,  and  yet  to  all  ap- 
pearances there  would  be  little  to  choose  between  the 
two.  The  difference  in  the  prices  paid  for  two  such 
colts  might  be  said  to  represent  the  actual  value  of 
the  stake  engagement  of  the  one  co  engaged,  and  no 
more  striking  object  lesson  than  this  could  be  found 
or  a  greater  incentive  be  given  to  owners  to  nomi- 
nate in  colt  stakes.  Speed  is  always  desirable  in  a 
youngster,  yet  speed  that  cannot  be  used  has  ODly  a 
limited  value  when  compared  with  its  price,  if  It  can 
be  converted  into  the  possibility  of  winning  large  sums 
of  money.

Dear  Sir— Four  years  ago  we  had  a  horse  so  badly  strained

your  Elixir,  and  the  result  was  this.  In  one  week  we  put  the  horse 
to  work,  and  continued  to  work  htm  every  day  for  two  aDd  a  half

The  Cook  Inlet  Region,  Alaska. 
II 

[By  Wilfred  H.  Osgood,  Division  of  Biological  Survey,  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture.] 

Kadiak  Bear— Large  bears  are  still  very  often  seen 
both  on  the  Alaska  Peninsula  side  of  Cook  Inlet  and 
on  the  mountainous  Kenai  Peninsula.  According  to 
report  they  were  very  abundant  about  ten  years  ago, 
but  in  the  short  time  since  have  been  so  constantly 
pursued  that  their  numbers  have  been  greatly  re- 
duced. Nearly  every  old  prospector  has  one  or  more 
•tories  to  tell  about  personal  experiences  with  big, 
brown  bears,  and  often  is  able  to  show  the  skins  as 
evidence  of  his  truthfulness.  Both  whites  and  natives 
distinguish  severe]  varieties  of  large  bears  according 
to  color.  One  of  these,  which  is  called  the  "big  white 
bear,"  and  of  which  I  examined  specimens,  is  creamy 
white  about  the  neck,  shoulders,  and  back,  and  pale 
brownish  about  the  haunches  and  legs.  Nearly  every 
degree  of  gradation  from  these  white  bears  to  the 
dark  brown  ones  may  be  found,  however,  so  that  it 
does  not  seem  probable  that  more  than  one  species  is 
represented.  T.  W.  Hanmore,  of  Tyonek,  says  the 
brown  bear  generally  goes  into  hibernation  early  in 
October,  but  that  a  few  years  ago  he  saw  the  track  of 
one  that  had  plowed  through  two  feet  of  snow  down  to 
the  beach   near  Tyonek  in  the  middle  of  November. 

Black  Bear — Black  bears  are  moderately  common 
in  the  Cook  Inlet  region.  A  few  are  killed  about 
Turnagain  arm  each  year,  but  they  are  less  common 
in  the  lower  country  on  the  northwest  side  of  the 
inlet.  While  returning  from  our  traps  on  upper  Bear 
creek  on  the  evening  of  September  1st,  we  discovered 
a  bear  i  rossing  a  grassy  place  between  two  alder 
thlcketii  on  a  hillside  near  us.  I  hurried  to  camp  and 
returned  with  my  rifle,  and  after  a  long  stalk  suc- 
ceeded in  seouringit.  It  proved  to  be  a  young  female. 
was  short,  but  even  and  glosBy  black.    The 


animal  had  been  feeling  on  berries  entirely,  and  its 
stomach  was  found  filled  to  distension  chiefly  with 
black  crowberries  [Empetrum  nigrum).  These  were 
clean  and  absolutely  free  from  twigs  and  leaves,  and 
so  tightly  packed  that  there  hardly  seemed  room  lor 
another  mouthful.  The  feeling  of  satisfaction  en- 
joyed by  the  possessor  of  this  well-filled  paunch  was 
very  evident.  Before  shooting  it  I  had  an  opportun- 
ity to  watch  it  feeding,  and  was  amused  at  its  exhibi- 
tion of  exuberant  spirits  It  would  browse  leisurely 
for  a  few  minutes,  then  would  suddenly  give  a  bound 
and  roll  over  and  over  down  a  little  heather-grown 
glade  to  the  bottom,  and  then  jump  up  to  gallop  at 
full  speed  up  and  down  and  arouad  in  a  circle,  ap- 
parently impelled  by  nothing  but  sheer  joy.  This 
bear  measured  in  the  flesh  as  follows:  Total  length, 
1310;  tail  vertebra,  166:  hind  foot,  213. 

Sea  Otter — Sea  otters  are  said  to  have  been  seen 
in  Cook  Inlet,  but  owing  to  the  very  muddy  water  it 
is  probajle  that  they  were  never  numerous  there, 
even  in  times  of  their  greatest  abundance  elsewhere. 

Land  Otter — Apparently  rather  uncommon,  though 
a  few  are  said  to  be  taken  every  winter. 

Pacific  Mink — Moderately  common.  A  few  mink 
tracks  were  seen  along  some  of  the  small  streams. 
Several  skins  of  poor  quality  were  offered  for  sale  by 
miners  at  Hope.  One  specimen,  a  male  in  good 
pelage,  was  taken  on  a  small  stream  near  Tyonek, 
Sept.  16.  It  is  not  fully  adult,  and  its  skull  shows 
no  characters  of  value,  but  its  color  is  very  dark.  On 
this  account  it  is  referred  to  enerqumenos. 

American  Beaver — According  to  report  which  I 
received  from  a  trapper  at  Hope,  three  beaver  were 
secured  by  Indians  near  the  mouth  of  Turnagain 
arm  in  the  fall  of  1899.  A  limited  number  are  secured 
every  season  along  the  streams  in  the  mountains 
about  sixty  miles  inland  from  Tyonek.  A  trading 
stations  on  the  lower  Sushitna  river  also  obtains  a 
small  quota  annually.  Compared  with  former  receipts, 
however,  the  number  now  obtained  is  lamentably 
small. 

Northwest  Muskrat — Muskrats  are  not  known  to 
occur  about  Turnagain  arm,  but  they  are  rather 
common  about  small  ponds  in  the  peat  bogs  near 
Tyonek.  They  also  occur  at  Kenai,  as  is  shown  by 
two  specimens  from  there  collected  by  Blschoff  in 
1869  and  now  in  the  National  Museum.  These,  as 
well  as  one  that  we  secured  at  Tyonek,  are  typical 
Fiber  spatulatus,  having  the  small  molars  and 
expanded  nasals  exactly  as  in  the  type  of  the  species. 

Alaska  Porcupine — Porcupines  are  abundant  in  the 
Turnagain  arm  region,  but  are  very  rare  at  Tyonek. 
T.  W.  Hanmore,  who  has  lived  at  Tyonek  for  eleven 
years,  says  that  he  has  seen  but  one  porcupine  there 
in  that  time.  The  natives  on  the  Kenai  Peninsula 
use  porcupine  flesh  as  food,  and  prize  it  very  highly. 
They  prepare  the  animals  by  first  plucking  out  the 
quills,  t  hen  singeing  off  the  hair,  then  roasting  entire. 
I  did  not  have  an  opportunity  to  taste  the  flesh 
cooked  in  this  way,  but  found  it  very  palatable  when 
fried.  Porcupines  are  eaten  by  various  carnivorous 
animals,  particularly  wolves,  though  doubtless  only 
in  extreme  hunger.  Old  trappers  and  hunters  say 
that  the  majority  of  the  wolves  taken  in  this  region 
have  porcupine  quills  in  their  Btomachs  and  under 
the  skin  about  their  heads. 

Dall  Sheep — Dall  sheep  were  formerly  common  in 
the  mountains  on  both  sides  of  Turnagain  arm,  but 
since  active  mining  began  there  they  have  retreated 
to  the  interior  ot  the  peninsula,  where  they  still  occur 
in  large  numbers  They  are  also  common  in  the 
mountains  near  the  Knik  river,  from  which  place 
several  heads  were  brought  in  by  Indians  while  we 
were  at  Sunrise  City.  According  to  apparently  re- 
liable report,  these  sheep  in  the  interior  of  the  Kenai 
Peninsula  gather  into  very  large  flocks  in  the  fall,  as 
many  as  300  individuals  having  been  seen  together  at 
one  time.  There  are  several  routes  into  the  sheep 
country,  the  easiest  and  the  one  most  frequently  used 
being  that  via  the  Kussilof  river  to  Kussilof  lake,  and 
thence  into  the  mountains. 

Flying  Squirrels-  1  neoe  animals  are  said  to  have 
been  taken  in  the  Knik  district,  but  are  unkown  else- 
where about  Cook  Inlet.  The  numerous  miners  and 
woodsmen  about  Turnagain  arm  were  unable  to  give 
us  any  information  as  to  the  occurrence  of  flying 
squirrels,  except  in  the  Knik  district. 

Hudson  Bay  Red  ''Squirrel — Common  at  all  points 
visited.  A  few  were  seen  at  Homer,  larger  numbers 
at  Tyonek,  and  in  the  low  country  about  Hope  they 
were  excessively  abundant.  Sixteen  specimens  were 
taken,  fourteen  at  Hope  and  two  at  Tyonek.  These 
are  indistinguishable  from  specimens  in  the  same 
pelage  taken  near  the  west  coast  of  Hudson  bay,  as 
well  as  from  those  taken  in  the  interior  of  Alaska. 

Ground  Squirrel — Spermophiles  do  not  occur  near 
Turnagain  arm  or  at  Tyonek.  They  are  said  to  be 
abundant  on  the  Barren  islands,  near  the  mouth  of 
the  inlet,  and  are  evidently  so  in  the  mountains  lying 
some  sixty  miles  back  of  Tyonek.  While  we  were  at 
Tyonek  an  Indian  brought  in  a  lot  of  one  hundred 
spermophile  skins  from  these  mountains  to  be  used  in 
making  parkas  and  other  articles  of  native  wearing 
apparel. 

Hoary  Marmot — Abundant  in  the  mountains  about 
Turnagain  arm,  where  they  are  known  to  the  miners 
as  whistling  pigs.  In  the  mountains  at  the  head  of 
Bear  creek  we  found  them  living  in  grassy  meadows 
above  timber  line  and  on  open  hillsides  rather  than  in 
rocky  places.  Their  burrows  in  these  place  differ 
from  those  of  spermophiles  only  in  size.  Wide  well- 
beaten  paths  through  the  grass  connect  different 
burrows  and  diverge  from  them  here  and  there  over 
the  slopes  in  the  same  manner  as  those  of  spermophiles. 


The  vicinity  of  the  burrow  is  usually  very  filthy  with 
excreta.  Although  the  hoary  marmots  of  these 
mountains  seldom  see  a  human  being,  even  at  a  dis- 
tance, they  are  exceedingly  shy  and  disappear  at  the 
slightest  alarm,  on  which  account  it  was  very  difficult 
to  get  even  within  rifle  range  of  them. 

Dall  Varying  Hare— A  few  signs  of  rabbits  were 
seen  at  Hope,  but  no  specimens  were  secured;  they 
are  said  to  be  very  abundant  in  winter.  Six  specimens 
were  obtained  at  Tyonek,  but  only  by  presistent  and 
careful  trapping.  All  were  caught  in  steel  traps  set  in 
runways  in  the  thickets  or  in  the  peat  bogs.  Rabbits 
are  very  seldom  seen  here  in  the  daytime,  and  de- 
pendence on  gun  alone  would  result  in  but  a  small 
bag.  Although  the  summer  pelage  oldalliis  unknown, 
and  there  is  some  possibility  that  topotypes  would  be 
slightly  different  in  color  from  the  Cook  Inlet  speci- 
mens, I  have  little  hesitancy  in  referring  the  latter 
to  dalli,  since  the  skulls  are  nearly  typical,  being  but 
slightly  smaller  and  shorter  Most  of  the  specimens 
from  Tyonek  are  slightly  immature  and  the  color  of 
the  upper  parts  is  strongly  mixed  with  black.  In  one 
of  the  oldest  the  predominating  color  of  the  upper 
part  is  cinnamon;  the  middle  of  the  back  is  heavily 
mixed  with  black,  which  becomes  less  intense  laterally 
until  at  the  edge  of  pure  white  uuder  parts  there  is  no 
trace  of  it,  and  a  clear  cinnamon  lateral  line  remains. 
The  throat  is  also  cinnamon,  with  very  faint  signs  of 
black.  The  outer  sides  of  the  fore  legs  and  fore  feet 
are  russet  and  dusky  and  the  inner  sides  are  creamy 
white.  The  hind  feet  are  white,  well  mixed  with 
cinnamon,  and  dusky.  The  ears  are  nearly  white, 
except  in  front,  where  there  is  a  strong  cinnamon 
and  dusky  admixture.  The  flesh  measurements  of 
the  six  specimens  average  as  follows:  Total  length 
441,  tail  vertebra  39,  hind  foot  139. 

Canada  Lynx — Lynxes  are  evidently  still  fairly 
common.  George  uoon,  a  reliable  woodsman,  of  Hope, 
told  me  that  in  a  season  of  two  and  one-half  months' 
traDping  in  the  winter  of  1899  he  secured  fifteen 
lynxes  near  the  mouth  of  Turnagain  arm. 

Wolf — Wolves  areconsidered  rather  common  in  the 
Cook  Inlet  region.  Mr.  Coon,  of  Hope,  told  me  that 
during  the  winter  of  1899  he  secured  fourteen  with 
poison.    Among  them  were  six  in  the  black  phase. 

Kenai  Fox— Red,  cross  and  black  fcxes  are  taken 
annually  in  limited  numbers.  This  species,  which,  so 
faras  known,  is  the  only  one  found  in  the  region,  is 
the  largest  fox  known  to  North  America.  The  skins 
secured  here  are  usually  of  very  good  quality  and 
blacks  or  silver  grays  commanding  high  prices  are 
not  uncommon.  Some  attempt  at  farming  these 
large  foxes  has  been  made,  but  so  far  haB  generally 
proved  unsuccessful  on  account  of  the  vicious  habit 
tbe  males  have  of  injuring  or  devouring  the  yourg. 
It  seems  possible,  however,  that  while  this  might  in- 
terfere with  such  extensive  breeding  farms  as  are 
feasible  in  the  case  of  the  blue  fox,  it  might  be  con- 
trolled and  the  business  made  profitable  if  a  few  pairs 
were  kept  at  each  of  a  large  number  of  localities. 

Kadiak  Weasel — One  specimen  was  secured  at 
Hope,  Aug.  30.  It  waB  shot  while  in  the  act  of  making 
away  with  some  scraps  of  meat  that  had  been  thrown 
out  near  the  door  of  ourcab'.n.  This  specimen  is  not 
quite  adult,  but  agrees  with  specimens  of  kadiacensis 
of  the  same  age  in  size,  color,  and  cranial  characters. 
Its  flesh  measurements  are  as  follows:  Total  length, 
326;  tail  vertebra,  91;  hind  foot,  45. 

Bang's  Weasel — One  adult  female  was  taken  in  a 
swampy  place  near  Tyonek,  Sept  19.  It  was  caught 
in  a  small  mouse  trap  in  a  Jlicrotus  runway,  and 
doubtless  would  have  escaped  had  it  not  thrashed 
into  a  pool  of  water  and  drowned.  This  specimen 
differs  but  very  slightly  from  the  type  of  rixosus, 
and  shows  no  definite  approach  to  subspeeies  eskimo. 
The  color  of  the  upper  parts  is  uniform  Vandyke 
brown,  slightly  darker  than  the  type  of  rixosus;  the 
tail  is  the  same  color,  with  a  faint  paleness  on  the 
under  side  and  no  trace  of  black  anywhere;  the  under 
parts,  including  the  under  and  inner  sides  of  the  fore 
legs  and  the  fore  feet,  are  pure  white;  the  toes  and 
one-third  of  the  hind  feet  are  white.  The  skull  of 
Cook  Inlet  specimen  is  about  the  same  size  as  that  of 
the  type  of  rixosus;  the  brain  case  is  slightly  flatter 
and  more  elongate;  the  teeth  are  identical  The  flesh 
measurements  are  as  follows:  Total  length,  165;  tail 
vertebra,  18;  hind  foot,  21-  Skull:  Basal  length,  27.5, 
palatal  length,  10  8;  zygomatic  breadth,  14;  breadth 
across  postorbital  processes,  9;  length  of  audita]  bulla 
10.  The  natives  regard  the  capture  of  one  of  these 
rare  animals  as  a  piece  of  great  good  fortune.  One 
old  Indian,  who  frequently  visited  our  cabin,  told  us 
that  his  brother,  who  had  caught  one  when  a  small 
boy,  had  in  consequence  become  a  big  chief;  and  he 
assured  me  that  since  I  had  caught  one  I  must  surely 
be  destined  to  become  a  man  of  great  wealth  and 
power. 

American  Marten — Martens  are  only  moderately 
common.  George  Coon,  a  reliable  trapper  of  Hope, 
told  me  that  in  a  season  of  about  two  and  one-half 
months,  in  1899,  near  the  mouth  of  Turnagain  arm, 
he  took  but  fifteen  martens.  Two  marten  skulls  in 
the  biological  survey  collection,  collected  by  Dall  De 
Weese  on  the  Kenai  Peninsula,  are  not  referable  to 
either  M.  a.  cauriua  or  J/,  a.  actuosa,  but  seem  to  be 
very  nearly  like  typical  americana.  The  skulls  and 
teeth  are  about  the  same  size  as  in  americana  from  the 
Adirondack  mountains,  New  York,  and  the  shape  of 
the  last  upper  molar  also  agrees  with  that  of  ameri- 
cana, being  of  almost  equal  width  internally  and 
externally. 

Wolverine — Apparently  rather  common,  as  a  num- 
ber of  skins  are  said  to  be  secured  annually.  All  of 
these  are  shipped  via  St.  Michael  to  trading  posts  on 
the  Yukon  river,  where  they  are  sold  to  the  Yukon 
natives,  who  value  them  very  highly  for  making 
trimmings  for  their  fur  clothing.  The  natives  and 
elder  prospectors  tell  many  of  the  stories  of  the 
wolverine's  skill  and  cunning  in  discovering  and 
securing  caches  of  provisions.

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  formal  opening  of  the  blue  rock  season  for 
1905  at  Ingleside  took  place  last  Sunday  when  the 
Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  held  the  initial  club  shoot. 
Forty-two  guns  were  at  the  score,  each  shooter  par- 
ticipating in  a  100  target  race — 50  birds  on  the  straight 
bulkhead  and  50  on  the  Seargent  system.  The  club 
8  hooters  are  divided  this  year  into  four  classes — 
champion,  first,  second  and  third.  Each  contestant 
started  off  in  the  club  races  at  16  yards. 

The  club  purse  $100  was  divided  as  fellows: 

Champion  class,  $35 — $10,  $9,  $7,  $5,  $4.  First  class, 
$25— $8,  $6,  $5,  $3,  $3.  Second  class,  $20— $8,  $5,  $4,  $3. 
Third  class,  $20— $8,  $5,  $4,  $3. 

Otto  Feudner  was  high  average  for  the  day  with 
94  breaks  out  of  100. 

R.  C.  Reed  started  off  with  a  good  clip,  scoring 
90%.  W.  H.  Varien  broke  91.  Among  the  visiting 
sportsmen  was  the  ever  welcome  and  popular  Harvey 
McMurchy,  of  Fulton,  N.  Y.,  who  scored  91%.  J.  H. 
Hull,  of  Colorado  Springs,  also   shot  as  a  club  guest. 

The  winning  high  guns  in  each  class  were  in  the 
order  here  given:  Champion  class — Feudner,  Webb, 
E.  Klevesahl,  Varien  and  Reed.  First  class — F. 
Schuhz,  "Slade, "  Gamble,  Golcher  and  Potter. 
Second  class — Harpham,  Laing,  H.  Klevesahl  and 
Shields.  Third  class — Bowen,  Dr.  Sylvester,  Harvey 
and  Taylor. 

Twelve  new  members  joined  the  club  last  Sunday, 
a  good  sign  for  the  popularity  of  this  sport.  Thev 
were:  E.  W.  Decker,  L.  W.  Harpham,  E.  Schultz,  L.  E. 
Leavell,  W.  H.  Sears,  W.  G.  Hoffman,  W.  H.  Varien, 
W.  E.  Green,  C.  F.  Harvey,  G.  Smith,  F.  Schultz

The  Empire  Gun  Club  regular  club  shoot  will  be 
held  on  the  second  Sunday  of  each  month  beginning 
March  12th  and  ending  July  9th—  Ave  monthly  shoots. 

The  club  program  this  season  is  practically  the 
same  as  last  year.  The  club  championship  race  has 
an  increase  from  $50  to  $75  in  the  purse  for  the  five 
high  guns  for  the  season.  The  high  average  winner 
will  also  receive  a  solid  gold  button  emblematic  of  the 
club  championship  for  1905.  Scores  in  this  event  will 
classify  for  a  $20  purse  in  the  Money  Match,  the 
second  club  event.  In  this  race  the  two  members 
scoring  the  most  breaks  in  four  shoots  will  win  re- 
spectively a  pair  of  gold  and  a  pair  of  silver  cuff 
buttons.  The  winner  of  the  club  championship  medal 
is  barred  from  annexing  these  latter  trophies.  Both 
the  foregoing  contests  are  at  25  targets  each. 

Two  special  open  to  all  events  are  the  same  as  have 
been  in  vogue  for  the  past  three  years — the  J.  P. 
Sweeney  record  medal  race  and  the  special  handicap 
cash  prize  contest. 

The  outlook  for  a  lively  campaign  on  the  Alameda 
Junction  trap  groundB  is  most  promising.  The  old 
maugatrap  has  been  discarded  and  replaced  by  an 
autotrap.  

Trap  shooting  will  have  quite  a  boom  in  Southern 
California.  The  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club  dates  for  a 
big  three  days'  shoot  are  May  5,  6  and  7.  In  close 
tab  with  the  "orange  growers"  is  the  San  Diego  Gun 
Club  shoot,  also  a  three  day  affair.  The  dates  have 
not  yet  been  fixed,  hut  it  may  be  taken  for  granted 
that  this  affair  will  immediately  precede  or  shortly 
follow  the  Los  Angeles  shoot. 


The  Fresno  Gun  Club  have  a  three  days'  tourna- 
ment framed  up,  the  dates  regarded  favorably  are 
said  to  be  in  the  latter  part  of  April  or  early  in  May. 


The  Kimball  and  Upson  shoot  will  be  pulled  off 
about  the  end  of  May  at  Sacramento  and  will  as 
usual  be  a  representative  gathering  of  Northern 
California  shooters.  Frank  Newbert  will  have  charge 
of  the  meeting  and  that  argues  a  successful  shoot  and 
a  good  time  for  all  attending  shotgun  artists. 


bringing  off  the  Pacific  Coast  tournament  at  Vallejo 
instead  of  Ingleside.  The  only  reason  why  A'allejo 
was  not  selected  was  of  such  a  nature  that  the  Vallejo 
delegates  withdrew  their  bid  for  the  shoot  in  a  very 
gracious  manner,  Vallejo's  loss  was  the  Association's 
gain  as  it  were  and  without  any  reflection  on  the 
Vallejo  boys. 

Northern  California  shooters  are  primed  up  with 
trap  shooting  enthusiasm.  It  looks  favorable  for 
something  in  the  nature  of  a  lively  trap  circuit  this 
season.  Besides  the  Kimball  and  Up3on  conclave 
there  will  be  important  trap  shoots  at  Redding, 
Gridley,  Anderson,  Red  Bluff  and,  good  news  to  tell, 
Chico  sportsmen  are  agitating  the  feasibility  of  hold- 
ing a  blue  rock  tournament. 


The  Sacramento  blue  rock  season  blossomed  out 
last  Sunday  in  good  time  and  fine  form  when  the 
Capitol  City  Gun  Club  held  the  initial  club  shoot  on 
the  Kimball-Upson  grounds  in  Agricultural  Park. 
The  "line  up"  counted  thirty-three  contestants  in 
the  different  events  including  shooters  from  Sacra- 
mento, Woodland,  Folsom,  San  Francisco,  Davisville 
and  other  points.  L.  E.  Walker  of  Woodland  was 
high  average  for  the  day  with  95%.  W.  H.  Skinner 
won  the  club  championship  medal  in  the  club  shoot, 
24  out  of  25.

The  Vallejo  Gun  Club  will  hold  regular  shoots  this 
year.  The  club  is  in  a  flourishing  condition  and  has  a 
well  fitted  up  shooting  ground.  The  Vallejo  shooters 
are  keen  sportsmen  and  sturdy  supporters  of  trap 
shooting  divertisement.  A  strong  effort  and  generous 
support    offered   by  Vallejo  came  within  an  ace   of 


Big  Basin  Bill  Passed. 

The  Big  Basin  road  bill  carrying  an  appropriation 
of  $12,000  has  been  signed  by  the  Governor.  The  suc- 
cessful efforts  of  numerous  ladies  and  gentlemen  and 
also  of  the  Sempervirens  Club  in  the  interest  of  this 
measure  are  a  matter  of  congratulation  to  all  con- 
cerned. 

This  grand  outing  territory  is  second,  compara- 
tively, to  no  other  place  in  the  civilized  world.  The 
accessibility  of  the  Big  Basin  territoiy  is  particularly 
a  matter  of  much  interest  to  sportsmen,  for  from  that 
base  of  operations  some  royal  trout  streams  can  be 
reached  and  splendid  deer  hunting  country  made 
available.  But  to  the  camper  and  outing  parties  this 
beautiful  amphitheater  appeals  in  an  enchanting 
degree. 

Indications  point  to  an  early  demonstration  in  the 
matter  by  the  citizens  of  San  Jose.  Santa  Clara  in- 
terests will  not  be  overlooked  from  a  starting  point 
from  possibly  Boulder  Creek  or  Felton. 

The  San  Jose  Memiry  of  the  8th  inst.  has  the  fol- 
lowing interesting  matter  in  regard  to  the  new  Big 
Basin  road: 

A.  P.  Hill  returned  yesterday  morning  from  Sacra- 
mento, where  he  has  been  the  past  few  days  in  the 
interest  of  the  road  bill.  In  regard  to  the  bill  Mr. 
Hill  said:  "The  matter  was  placed  in  the  hands  of 
our  representatives  in  the  Assembly — Paul  Arnerich, 
Ward  Jarvis  and  Fayette  Micheltree.  The  three 
worked  in  harmony  and  if  it  had  not  been  for  their 
painstaking  efforts  the  bill  would  never  have  gained 
the  major  portion  of  votes.  They  went  from  desk  to 
desk  and  where  an  objection  was  found  to  the  bill 
they  endeavored  to  find  the  cause  and  convert  the 
other  Assemblymen  over  to  their  way  of  thinking. 
In  every  instance  they  succeeded.  Mrs.  Lovell  White, 
State  president  of  the  Sempervirens  Club,  also 
deserves  much  credit.  It  was  she  who  brought  the 
bill  out  of  a  chaotic  state  into  a  presentable  form. 

"The  passing  of  the  bill  is  of  great  importance  to 
the  future  history  of  Santa  Clara  county,  as  San  Jose 
will  be  made  the  central  point  to  another  attraction  of 
national  reputation 

"Ever  since  the  question  of  a  road  to  the  Big  Basin 
has  been  agitated,  the  Interurban  Electric  Road  has 
hinted  at  its  intention  of  extending  the  line  over  the 
summit  from  Los  Gatos  or  Saratoga.  It  now  comes 
from  a  reliable  source  that  it  is  the  company's  inten- 
tion to  build  a  line  to  the  Big  Basin." 

The  Big  Basin  embraces  3800  acres  of  land,  2500  of 
which  were  purchased  by  the  State  at  $100  per  acre, 
the  entire  $250,000  to  be  paid  in  five  annual  install- 
ments. The  owners  donated  1300  acres  additional  to 
the  amount  purchased.  The  entire  tract  is  therefore 
nearly  equal  to  six  sections,  or  one-sixth  of  a  con- 
gressional township,  which  is  amply  sufficient  to  form 


a  magnificent  Sempervirens  park.  The  management 
of  the  Big  Basin  is  entrusted  to  a  board  of  five  mem- 
bers, appointed  by  the  Governor,  all  of  whom  are  men 
of  eminent  ability  and  integrity. 

Of  the  two  proposed  routes  for  the  Big  Basin  road, 
one  by  way  of  Long  Bridge  and  the  other  following 
the  Macabee  ridge,  the  former  will  in  all  probability 
be  the  one  chosen. 

Long  Bridge  lies  some  three  or  four  miles  above 
Saratoga.  The  road  ascends  a  good  grade  for  a  dis- 
tance of  5.44  miles  from  the  springs  to  the  summit. 
At  A.  Marengo's  ranch  the  Stevens  creek  road  forms 
a  junction  with  the  Big  Basin  line,  one  mile  west  of 
Table  mountain  and  at  an  elevation  of  1500  feet  Mr. 
Marengo  has  resided  at  that  point  since  187S.  The 
recent  fire  swept  over  the  ridge  at  the  north  and  in 
full  view  of  his  place,  causing  much  damage  to 
property. 

The  Fairview  schoolhouse  occupies  the  summit, 
near  the  residence  of  Daniel  Carmicbael,  a  lumber- 
man. Excepting  the  school  building  at  Mount  Hamil- 
ton, that  of  Fairview  is  at  the  highest  point  of  any 
one  in  Santa  Clara  county.  The  elevation  is  2600  feet, 
or  nearly  half  a  mile,  affording  a  fine  view  of  the 
valley,  for  which  reason  it  was  named  Fairview. 

The  distance  from  Carmichael's  to  the  eastern  rim 
of  the  Big  Basin,  by  either  of  the  two  available  routes, 
is  about  ten  miles,  the  entire  distance  from  San  Jose 
being  twenty-seven  miles.  There  is  a  good  grade  for 
six  miles  to  a  point  two  miles  below  Dougherty's 
ranch,  on  San  Lorenzo  creek,  near  which  the  Boulder 
Creek  railroad,  built  for  the  accommodation  of  the 
California  Lumber  Company,  once  ran.  It  is  now 
abandoned,  however.  But  from  the  point  where  a 
road  to  the  Big  Basin  down  San  Lorenzo  creek  can  be 
constructed  into  the  park  that  company  built  a  road 
two  miles  in  length  to  the  lowest  pass  in  the  Macabee 
ridge.  By  utilizing  that  road  and  constructing  an 
additional  one  of  the  same  length  the  rim  of  Sem- 
pervirens park  can  be  reached.  The  watershed 
separating  San  Lorenzo  and  Pescadero  creeks  has  an 
elevation  of  1500  feet.  In  passing  from  Fairview 
schoolhouse  to  the  lumber  company's  road  there  is  a 
descent  of  600  feet,  and  from  the  San  Lorenzo  creek 
to  the  lowest  point  on  Macabee  ridge  the  ascent  is  500 
feet. 

The  average  grade  for  the  entire  distance  of  eight 
miles  is  somewhat  less  than  that  from  Congress 
Springs  to  the  summit  of  Santa  Cruz  mountains.  The 
formation  for  most  of  that  distance  is  shale,  which 
renders  the  road  smooth  and  firm,  with  very  little 
liability  to  injury  from  rains.  The  route  is  a  feasible 
one,  and  with  a  comparatively  small  expense  it  could 
be  widened  for  the  purpose  of  accommodating  tourist 
travel. 

Another  route  is,  however,  more  desirable  in  some 
important  respects.  By  leaving  the  San  Lorenzo  or 
Felton  grade  a  short  distance  beyond  the  summit  a 
good  road  can  be  utilized  for  a  distance  of  four  miles 
on  the  north  side  of  the  low  spur  known  as  the  Maca- 
bee ridge,  which  separates  the  two  streams  pre- 
viously mentioned.  By  constructing  six  miles  of  new 
road  from  the  point  of  divergence  and  keeping  on  the 
summit  of  that  ridge  to  that  point  at  which  the  lum- 
ber company's  road  terminates,  including  two  miles 
required  by  the  San  Lorenzo  or  Felton  route,  two 
advantages  would  be  secured.  The  scenic  view  would 
be  almost  continuous  for  the  entire  distance  of  ten 
miles  from  Fairview  schoolhouse  to  the  northeastern 
corner  of  the  Big  Basin.  There  would  be  no  streams 
requiring  bridges,  and  the  depressions  in  the  ridge 
could  be  passed  by  grades  of  not  more  than  six  per 
cent.  The  general  course  would  be  direct  and  the 
additional  cost  of  constructing  four  miles  of  good  road, 
either  by  the  State  or  the  county,  would  be  well  re- 
paid by  the  scenic  and  other  advantages  secured  by 
the  latter  route. 

Among  the  most  enthusiastic  workers  in  behalf  of 
every  movement  for  the  reservation  and  opening  up 
the  Big  Basin  country  has  been  Mr.  W.  W.  Richards, 
whose  efforts  we  are  pleased  to  state  have  been  potent 
in  no  small  degree. 

A  Day's  Fishing  in  France. 

"Tom"  Benton,  who  has  an  international  reputa_ 
tion  as  a  crack  revolver  shot  is  a  globe  trotter  of 
experience  and  has  quite  a  stock  of  anecdotes  de- 
scriptive of  many  matters  that  have  come  under  his 
observation  at  various  times  during  his  pilgrimages. 
One  incident  in  particular  he  related  the  other  day 
has  an  amusing  flavor  to  it  and  may  be  of  interest  to 
anglers. 

During  a  Continental  trip  and  while  taking  in  the 
French  cities  he  was  bo  impressed  with  the  attractions 
of  a  certain  French  summer  resort  that  he  deoided  to 
stay  there  a  few  days  for  rest  and  recreation.  The 
small  place  and  its  environments  were  attracitve  to  a 
degree  and  received  quite  a  tourist  patronage.  A 
feature  of  the  resort  was  a  beautiful  lake  upon  one 
picturesque  bank  of  which  was  located  the  principal 
hotel,  a  grand  establishment  with  an  elaborate  equip- 
ment of  everything  calculated  to  delight  its  travelling 
and  pleasure  seeking  patrons.  On  an  opposite  bank 
of  the  pretty  lake  was  a  romantic  chateau  in  the  midst 
of  a  most  charming  landscape  prospect.  Boating  and 
other  diversions  on  the  lake  were  much  indulged  in. 
In  fact  the  whole  ensemble  was  agreeable  in  almost 
every  respect. 

Benton  enjoyed  his  stay  there  very  much  and  being 
a  bit  of  an  angler  was  soon  under  the  influence  and 
waB  impatient  to  get  out  his  rod  and  tackle. 

Making  inquiry  he  was  assured  that  the  fishing  was 
"magnifique."  This  he  readily  believed  for  he  saw 
anglers  every  day  fishing  from  the  bridge  near  the 
lake  outlet.  He  was  further  informed  that  it  was 
necessary  to  procure  a  license  to  fish,  this  he  did  pay- 
ing a  gold  napoleon  for  the  privilege.  Getting  ready 
one  morning  he  went  to  the  boat  bouse,  hired  a  boat 
and  was  just  starting  away,  when  he  was  informed 
by  a  voluble  attache  of  the  establishment  that  he 
could  not  go  out  on  the  lake  and  fish.   Bentoi

that  he  thought  he  could  select  a  nice  place  where  he 
could  fish,  but  this  would  not  do,  nobody  ever  fished  on 
the  lake.the  boating  parties  would  interfere,  etc.,  etc, 
The  place  to  fish  was  on  the  bridge,  in  fact,  it  was 
the  only  place  on  the  lake  where  fishing  was  permis- 
sible Accepting  the  inevitable  he  went  to  the  spot 
designated  ana  selected  the  softest  plank  he  could 
find"  He  was  well  provided  with  bait— grubs  sold  in 
small  boxes  at  the  village  butcher  shop.  Following 
the  example  of  the  other  (deluded)  anglers  he 
"chummed"  with  his  bait  and  then  put  in  his  baited 

hook.  .  ,  .        .,  . 

He  fished  awhile  and  finally  caught  a  three-inch 
fish.  More  grubs  were  thrown  in  and  another  finger- 
ling  was  landed.  This  proceeding  became  monoto- 
nously tiresome.  New  anglers  joined  the  fishers  and 
disgusted  ones  went  their  way— none  of  them  got 
anything  over  three  inches.  This  was  a  puzzler  to 
Benton  for  he  had  seen  a  number  of  large  fish  m 
t  Y\  a  1  fiWft 

Benton  had  forgotten  to  fill  up  his  cigar  case  and 
was  on  the  eve  of  taking  a  temporary  respite  from  his 
strenuous  work  in  landing  chubs  to  go  back  to  the 
hotel  and  return,  when  an  incident  occurred  that 
made  him  hold  on.  A  short  time  previously  one  of 
the  other  Waltonians  had  put  up  his  tackle  and  went 
away  from  his  fishing  stand— these  spots  were  all 
numbered,  upon  his  return  to  resume  the  attenuated 
sport  he  was  politely  informed  by  a  gendarme  that  in 
taking  up  his  tackle  and  leaving  the  "Pont  de  Pois- 
sons"  he  had  forfeited  his  license.  The  licenses,  it 
seems,  were  issued  for  one  fishing  trip  only,  time  cut 
no  figure,  one  could  fish  for  a  fortnight  without  inter- 
mission, but  the  moment  a  fisherman  put  up  his 
tackle  and  quit  he  was  out  of  the  game  ana  had  to  pay 
another  gold  napoleon  to  get  in  again. 

Benton  noticed  another  thing,  the  usual  throng  of 
village  "rubber  necks"  was  suspiciously  absent,  evi- 
dently indifferent  to  the  anglers'  efforts,  something 
out  of  the  ordinary  for  those  people,  because  they 
were,  as  a  rule,  extremely  assiduous  in  following  the 
doings  of  the  tourists  with  both  comment  and  gesture. 

A  gendarme,  whom  Benton  was  slightly  acquainted 
with  stopped  in  passing  and  regarded  Benton  a  few 
seconds  with  a  quizzical  smile  and  then  said,  "Ah! 
Monsier  Bentong  you  will  be  varee  hungare  before 
you  catch  of  the  feesh  enough  to  make  it  one  dinnaire, 
eh?"  Benton  replied  that  there  was  nothing  but  small 
ones  available,  strange  to  say,  for  he  had  seen  the  big 
fellows  in  the  lake.  The  gendarme,  to  cut  a  long  story 
short,  finally  put  Banton  wise  to  the  situation. 

A  short  distance  out  from  the  bridge,  a  wire  screen, 
coming  to  within  two  feet  or  so  of  the  surface,  had 
been  arranged  so  that  none  but  the  small  fish  could 
get  through.  The  angling  visitors  to  the  resort  would 
naturally  believe  that  the  fishing  6hould  be  good  and 
paid  the  license  fee — about  $5,  readily.  The  steering 
committee  of  the  resort  well  understood  the  value  of 
the  shadow  for  the  substance  and  utilized  the  fish  in 
the  lake  as  a  good  dividend  paying  commodity— the 
revenue  from  anglers  in  various  ways  was  therefore 
quite  a  tidy  little  sum,  but  the  supply  of  fish  under 
this  system  stood  no  danger  of  exhaustion.  Quite  an 
object  lesson  in  fish  and  pocket  protection  as  it  were. 


GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


FISH    BILL    DEFEATED. 

The  Fish  Commission  bill,  giving  the  Fish  Com- 
missioners and  their  deputies  the  right  to  search  when 
they  have  reason  to  believe  fish  or  game  is  being  held 
unlawfully,  caused  a  bitter  wrangle  in  the  Senate  this 
week.  The  bill  in  question  is  Assembly  bill  400,  by 
Drew.  Shortridge,  Simpson  and  Belshaw  spoke  for 
the  bill,  showing  that  a  similar  law  was  on  the  statute 
books  of  Washington,  New  York  and  other  states. 
Wolfe  vigoronsly  opposed  its  passage,  and  declared  it 
was  in  conflict  with  the  rights  guaranteed  to  the 
people  in  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States. 
Lukens  also  found  it  objectionable  in  many  particulars 
and  showed  that  it  would  allow  officious  peace  officers 
and  constables  to  interfere  with  the  liberties  of  inno- 
cent people.    The  bill  was  defeated. 

STRIPED    BASS    PLENTIFUL. 

Reports  from  the  striped  bass  fishing  resorts  are  of 
joyful  import  to  the  salt  water  anglers. 

Last  Sunday  the  fishermen  who  elected  to  spend 
the  day  fishing  in  the  waters  of  the  San  Pablo  bay 
flats,  off  San  Pablo  station,  had  a  red  letter  day,  for 
everybody  out  in  the  trolling  boats  caught  bass.  The 
fish  were  taken  on  the  ebb  tide.  The  sport  began 
about  1  o'clock  and  continued  without  intermission 
until  5  o'clock,  when  most  of  the  rodsters  reluctantly 
renounced  the  game  in  order  to  catch  the  city   train. 

All  in  all,  some  263  nice  conditioned  fish  were  taken, 
the  heaviest  scaling  about  ten  pounds.  This  lucky 
day  was  a  more  lively  experience  for  many  of  the 
anglers  present  than  the  noted  day  last  season,  when 
for  two  hours  the  fun  was  fast  and  prolific  of  bass. 
The  record  for  San  Pablo  flats  now  stands  at  nearly 
500  accounted  for  bass  ta^en  by  trolling  boats  within 
about  one  week.  The  boat  manned  by  Jack  Karney 
and  E.  J.  Kaplan  was  high  hook,  these  two  account- 
ing for  twenty-five  fish  ranging  from  4  to  8J  pounds 
in  weight.  At  seven  different  times  these  two  anglers 
each  had  a  fighting  fish  on  their  spoons — double 
strikes.  Bert  Spring  landed  six  bass.  Con  Roman 
and  two  friends  also  caught  six  fish.  Mr.  Overholser 
and  son  took  twenty-four.  Jabez  Swan  and  son  landed 
eleven  bass.  George  Walthers  accounted  for  nine  and 
F.  H.  Reed  also  had  a  good  catch.  It  wa6  estimated 
that  there  were  about  seventy-five  anglers  out  in 
boats.  Nearly  all  the  fish  were  caught  on  Wilson  and 
Stewart  spoons  Nos.  4  and  5.  Larger  spoons  were  also 
used  successfully. 

Frank  Lacoste  caught  thirty  bass  on  Tuesday  at 
tl  Is  resort. 

Last  Sunday  several  incidents  happened  to  various 

;.  Dglers,  more  or  less  amusing.    One  fisherman,  who 

■  'as  so  chagrined  over  his  mishap  that  we  will  with- 

.old   his  identity,  was  so  intent  in  getting  a  fish  into 

is  skiff  that  he  overbalanced  and  went  headfirBt  over 


the  boat's  stern  into  four  feet  of  water.  The  ducking 
was  not  disagreeable  at  all  on  a  hot  day,  but  the  run- 
ning fire  of  comment  and  the  raillery  ensuing  from 
other  fisherman  nearby,  although  humorous  and 
timely,  was  taken  by  the  discomfitted  angler  with  a 
bad  grace. 

It  is  always  a  wise  idea  to  have  one's  rod  and  tackle 
well  in  hand  while  trolling,  for  many  times  anglers 
have  lost  an  outfit  that  was  yanked  overboard  by  a 
striped  bass.  Such  an  experience  happened  to  a  jolly 
young  angler  on  Sunday.  Dr.  Jack  Karney  had  no 
more  than  just  cautioned  Mr.  Angler  to  look  well  to 
the  safety  of  his  rod,  which  was  lying  loose  across  the 
seat  of  his  skiff,  when,  zip!  away  went  a  fine  split 
bamboo  rod  and  expensive  reel  overboard.  A  bass 
had  struck  the  spoon  for  keeps  and  running  off  an- 
nexed the  outfit,  nor  wa9  it  recovered,  despite  great 
efforts  to  that  effect.   

The  fishers  who  prospected  the  straits  and  Angel 
Island  waters  had  a  total  catch  of  about  fifteen  fish. 
Gus  Christianson's  largest  fish  weighed  fifteen  pounds. 
A  number  of  the  Pacific  Striped  Bass  Club  members 
were  out  on  Sunday,  but  the  take  for  the  Tiburon 
clubmen  was  only  promising,  for  but  a  fair  number 
only  of  bass  were  caught.  Indications  for  these  fish- 
ing grounds  are  promising  enough  to  tempt  quite  a 
number  of  anglers  out  tomorrow.

SALMON    RUNNING. 

Anglers  who  have  been  trolling  the  waters  of 
Raccoon  straits  and  about  Sausalito  have  hooked  on 
to  and  landed  several  salmon  recently.  "Pop" 
Carroll  caught  a  thirty-one  pound  fish  last  week  and 
a  heavier  fish  is  reported  to  have  been  hooked  off 
Sausalito  last  Sunday.

FIELD    TRIAL    DINNER. 

TheaftBrmath  of  the  Plumas-Tonopah  field  trial 
run  near  Bodega  on  Monday,  February  13,  was  a 
dinner  on  the  following  Friday  evening  in  a  swell 
restaurant  of  Oakland.  Attorney  Dave  McWade, 
owner  of  the  losing  dog,  Tonopah,  was  the  host  to  a 
jolly  party  of  sportsmen. 

The  affair  was  an  enjoyable  gathering  of  congenial 
spirits,  most  of  whom  had  been  interested  spectators 
of  the  four  hours  running  of  the  two  dogs.  William 
Dormer  officiated  as  toastmaster  in  a  manner  equally 
as  clever  as  he  did  when  judging  the  race.  The  other 
good  fellows  assisting  him  iD  the  pleasant  evening 
were:  Dave  McWade,  James  S.  Dunham  (owner  of

INTEREST    IN     BREEDS    BOOMING. 

Collies,  Scotties,  Dalmatians  and  Airedales  are  on 
the  boom  in  the  East.  Collie  interests  are  getting 
stronger  every  day  with  the  Coast  fancy.  Airedales 
and  Scotties  are  well  liked  out  here  and  should  have 
a  better  support  than  at  present  The  leading  Scottie 
fancier  and  breeder  is  Mrs.  Bradley-Dyne,  whose 
kennels  are  established  at  Saturna  P.  O.,  British 
Columbia.  Mrs.  Bradley-Dyne  has  a  strain  of  win- 
ning Scotties  and  also  goes  in  for  Irish  Terriers. 
Without  question  the  Saturna  Kennels  have  also  the 
best  Irish  stock  to  be  found  on  the  Pacific  Coast.

U.    M.     C.     PRODUCTS    WIN,    AS     USUAL. 

The  first  regular  shoot  of  the  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club 
was  held  at  Ingleside  on  Sunday,  March  5.  1905.  It 
was  one  of  the  most  gratilying  opening  shoots  heid  in 
many  years,  giving  promise  of  an  exceptionally  suc- 
cessful season  of  blue  rock  smashing. 

The  eystem  of  classification  for  shooters  inaugurated 
this  season  demonstrates  unquestionably  that  a  re- 
newal and  revival  of  interest  in  this  fine  sport  is 
assured.  Forty-two  shooters  was  the  excellent  record 
for  this  meeting,  and  of  this  number  thirty-six  were 
users  of  U  M.  C.  "Magic,"  "Acme,"  and  "Majestic" 
shells.  This  record  would  seem  phenomenal,  were  it 
not  that  it  is  simply  a  repetition  of  past  history,  de- 
monstrating in  an  unquali led  way  the  general  worth 
as  well  as  popularity,  of  TJ.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

The  great  number  of  Remington  guns  used  at  this 
meeting  was  remarked  on  all  sides. 

Sportsmen:— Tne  following  is  a  record  deserving  of 
your  earnest  consideration,  proving  as  it  does  beyond 
argument  that  the  products  of  the  U.  M.  C  Co.  in- 
clude all  those  necessary  qualities  making  for  accuracy 
and  reliability: 

In  the  Champion  Class,  winners  were  Webb,  E. 
Klevesahl,  Varien,  Feudner,  Reed,  of  which  four  used 
U.  M.C.  shells. 

In  the  First  Class,  were  Gamble,  Golcher,  "Slade, " 
Potter  and  F.  Schultz,  all  using  TJ.  M.  C.  shells. 

In  the  Second  Class  were  H.  Klevesahl,  Shields, 
Laing,  Harpham,  all  using  TJ.  M.  C   shells. 

In  the  Third  Class  were  Dr.  Sylvester,  Messrs. 
Taylor,  Bowen  and  Harvey,  two  using  TJ.  M  C.  shells. 

In  the  various  classes  there  were  eighteen  winners, 
and  of  these  fifteen  used  TJ.  M.  C.  shells.  Further 
comment  is  unnecessary. 


U.    M.    C.    PREFERRED. 

At  the  recent  Detroit  tournament,  held  February 
15th,  16th  and  17th,  Mr.  John  Cbapman,  an  amateur, 
using  TJ.  M.  C.  shells,  won  the  first  high  average  for 
all  live  birds  shot  at.    Score  47-50. 

At  Chicago,  111  ,  February  19th,  Mr.  F.  C.  Riehl 
made  a  run  of  114  straight  in  a  blinding  snowstorm. 

Use  U.  M.  C.  for  1905. 


A    HOUSTON    HURRICANE. 

The  Texas  Tornado,  which  occurred  at  the  Sunny 
South  Handicap,  in  the  form  of  a  U.  M.  C.  victory, 
has  been  followed  by  another  whirlwind  victory  at 
Houston 

U.  M.  .  shells  in  the  gun  of  Mr.  M.  E.  Atchison 
won  the  tHouston  Post  Diamond  M^dal,  emblematic  of 
the  highest  general  average,  at  the  Grand  Southern 
Handicap  held  at  Houston,  Texas,  February    7,    8.    9. 

Mr.  Atchison  also  won  the  Houston  Chronicle  Cup 
at  the  Sunny  South  Handicap,  Brenham,  Texas. 

The  winning  quality  is  U.  M.  C. 


ANOTHER    RUNAWAY    RACE. 

The  opening  shoot  for  the  season  of  1905,  of  the 
Capital  City  Blue  Rock  Club,  of  Sacramento,  Cal., 
was  held  on  their  club  grounds  at  Agricultural  Park, 
on  Sunday  last,  and  was  well  attended,  33  contestants 
facing  the  traps,  and  every  shooter,  without  a  single 
exception,  shot  nothing  but  the  time  tried  Winchester 
"Leader"  or  Winchester  "Repeater"  shells.  When 
it  is  taken  into  consideration  that  shooters  from 
Folsom,  Lincoln,  Davisville,  Woodland,  and  other 
adjacent  places  were  in  attendance,  it  speaks  well  for 
the  universal  popularity  of  the  Winchester  make  of 
shells.  We  think  this  is  the  first  time  in  the  history 
of  trap  shooting  in  California  where  such  a  large 
number  of  shooters  were  in  attendance  at  a  shoot  and 
every  shooter,  without  a  single  exception,  shot  the 
same  make  of  shell.  The  high  average  of  the  day  was 
made  by  Mr.  L.  E.  Walker  with,  a  Parker  gun  and 
"Leader"  shells,  and  was  exactly  95%.  Mr.  Walker 
also  had  the  hoDOr  of  making  the  only  25  straight 
during  the  day.  The  Club  Championship  Medal  was 
captured  by  Mr.  H.  W.  Skinner  on  the  score  of  24  out 
of  the  possible  25,  with  a  Smith  gun  and  "Repeater" 
shells.  Other  straight  scores  of  the  day  were  made 
by  Messrs.  Carter,  Vetter,  Skinner,  Wall,  Seaver  and 
Newb"rt.  

At  the  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  Shoot,  held  at  Ingle- 
side, Sunday,  March  5,  1905,  Mr.  M.  O.  Fuedner  made 
the  high  average,  breaking  94  out  of  100  with  the 
time-tried  and  true  Winchester  Leader  shells  primed 
with  the  celebrated  Winchester  New  No.  4  primer. 
Mr.  Fuedner  also  made  the  longest  straight  run  of  65 
breaks.

THE   FARM. 


The  Cattle  Quarantine. 

An  order  has  recently  been  issued  by 
the  authorities  at  Washington  modifying 
the  cattle  quarantine  line  in  this  State, 
upon  the  recommendations  of  Dr.  Chas. 
Keans,  State  Veterinarian.  The  new  line 
is  as  follows : 

Beginning  on  the  Pacific  Coast  where 
the  north  boundary  line  of  San  Luis 
Obispo  county  connects  with  the  Pacific 
ocean;  thence  easterly  along  the  north 
boundary  line  of  that  county,  thence 
along  the  west  boundary  of  Kings  and 
FreBno  counties,  thence  along  the  western, 
northern  and  eastern  boundary  of  Merced 
county  to  the  southeast  corner  thereof ; 
thence  along  the  northern  boundary  of 
Madera  county  to  the  northeast  corner 
thereof;  thence  along  the  eastern  bound- 
ary lines  of  Madera,  Fresno  and  Tulare 
counties  to  the  southeast  corner  of  Tulare 
county ;  thence  along  the  southern 
boundary  line  of  Inyo  county,  the  eastern 
line  of  the  State. 

It  is  ordered  that  during  the  continu- 
ance of  said  line  no  cattle  originating  in 
the  quarantined  area  of  the  rest  of  the 
United  States  shall  be  moved  or  allowed 
to  move  into  the  counties  of  Kern,  Tulare, 
Kings,  San  Luis  Obispo,  Fresno,  Madera 
and  Merced. 

No  cattle  shall  be  moved  or  allowed  to 
move  from  any  cf  these  countieB  (unless 
for  immediate  slaughter)  to  any  of  the 
territory  in  the  State  of  California  outside 
of  the  quarantined  district  except  hav- 
ing been  inspected  and  found  free  of  in- 
fection by  f  duly  authorized  inspector  of 
the  national  department,  or  of  the  State 
of  California,  and  upon  written  permis- 
sion by  such  officer. 

No  cattle  can  be  moved  from  within  the 
quarantined  lines  to  othei  stateB  or  terri- 
tories, except  under  like  provisions. 


Horns  Are  Useless. 


The  dairy  cow  has  been  made  over,  the 
general  conformation  changed  to  make 
her  more  useful,  the  udder  and  digestive 
capacity  anlarged  until  instead  of  giving 
milk  three  monthB  in  the  vear  she  is  an 
all  year  producer 

Horns  are  useless  appendanges,  and  in 
consequence  are  being  bred  off.  We  have 
as  the  result  of  this  desire  to  get  rid  of 
horns  the  polled  Jersey  and  polled  Dur- 
hams,  besides  the  original  polled  breeds. 

We  have  found  that  cattle  are  more 
quiet  deprived  of  their  horns;  they  feed 
together  more  like  sheep,  do  less  damage 
to  each  other  and  mankind,  and  require 
leBS  stable  and  vard  room.

Formerly  we  UBed  to  saw,  but  for 
Heveral  years  past  have  used  the  dehorn- 
ing clipper,  and  would  not  under  any 
circumstances  go  back  to  the  saw.  The 
clippers  make  quick,  clean  work  of  the 
operation,  there  is  no  crushing  of  the 
horn,  it  is  taken  off  close  to  the  head, 
thus  avoiding  unsightly  stubs,  and  causes 
the  animal  but  momentary  pain.  The 
saw  is  out  of  date,  causes  the  animal  great 
pain  and  to  become  neated  from  the 
struggling  so  that  bleeding  is  profuse. 

The  animal  should  he  confined  in  a 
strong  stanchion  or  chute  made  for  the 
purpose;  a  rope  passed  around  the  neck 
bo  that  it  will  not  slip  and  choke  the 
animal,  and  then  passed  about  the  nose, 
forming  a  halter,  after  which  the  head 
should  be  drawn  to  one  side  and  firmly 
held.  The  clipper  is  slipped  down  over 
the  horn  to  the  base  and  the  handle 
brought  quickly  together  and  the  horn  is 
off.  A  little  rim  of  hide  should  be  taken 
off  with  each  horn.  No  stubbs  will  grow 
if  this  rule  is  observed. 

HornB  may  be  removed  at  any  time  of 
the  year,  but  preferable  during  the  time 
when  the  flies  do  not  bother.

PEDIGREE: 


DILLCARA,  foaled  1902 


by SIDNEY  DILLON  23157 

First  dam,  QUYCARA  2:18f by QUY  WILKES  2867  (2:15+) 

Second  dam,  BISCARA by DIRECTOR  2:17 

Third  dam,  BICARA by HAROLD 

Fourth  dam,  BELLE by MAMBRINO  CHIEF 

Fifth  dam,  BELLE  LUPE by BELLFOUNDER  (Brown's) 


The  above  dams  in  this  young  stallion's 
pedigree  are  the  choicest.  The  first  dam  is  a 
young  brood  mare  with  a  record  oi  2:18&;  the 
second  dam  is  the  dam  oi  4  in  the  list  with 
records  of  2:1834,  2:I8?4'.  2:24H  and  2:37,  respec- 
tively; theihird  dam  was  the  dam  of  5  with 
records,  2:21^,2:21^,  S:26M  etc,  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast,  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Chief 
and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mia;  the  fourth  dam  was  the  dam  of  McCurdy's 
Hambletonian  2:28ylt  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire  Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood, etc.  Hence  from  his  dams  have  come 
two  great  families— the  Belmont-Nutwood 
and  the  Pancoast-Patrcn-Patronage-Prodi- 
gal  families.  The  dam  of  the  sire  and  the 
dams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sires.  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  dam  of  Cupid  2:18,  who 
produced  weil;  Lady  Bunker,  the  dam  of  Guy 
Wilkes,  was  the  dam  of  Wm  L.,  sire  of  Axtel, 
and  El  Mahdi  2:25}£  and  Declaration,  who 
were  each  the  sire  of  several  good  ones:  Dolly, 
the  dam  of  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
2:25m:  and  Thorndale  2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  colt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  holders.  They  have  also  produced 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
levelheaded  and  the  largest  money  winners 
in  the  trotting  world.  The  first  four  trace  in 
the  male  line  to  Hambletonian  10  through 
ancestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandsires.  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  sis  crosses  of  Hambletonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  producing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  each  of  which  goes  to  him  through 


dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 

Individually,  this  young  stallion,  DILLCARA,  is  as  good  as  his  pedigree.  He  is  of  the  stout, 
blocky  type,  without  coarseness,  and  he  is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  of  natural  speed.  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  hands  of  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecttrjg  that  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney.  Director,  Direct  and 
Nutwood.  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 
purposes. 

DILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Francisco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SERVICE  FEE  S40.

TOURISTS  and  TRAVELERS  will,  now,  with  difficulty  recognize  the  famous  COURT 
into  which  (or  twenty-fl  e  years  carriages  have  driven.  This  spaoe  of  over  a  quarter 
of  an  acre  has  recently,  by  the  addition  of  very  handsome  furniture,  rugs,  chandeliers 
and  tropical  plants,  been  converted  into  a  lounging  room— the  FINEST  IN  THE 
WORLD. 

The  EMPIRE  PARLOR— the  PALM  ROOM,  furnished  In  Cerise,  with  Billiard  and 
Pc  tl  tables  for  tho  ladies— the  LOUIS  XV  PARLOR  the  LADIES  WRITING  ROOM 
aud  numerous  other  modern  improvements,  together  with  the  unexcelled  Cuisine  and  the 
LfDSt  Convenient  Location  In  the  City— all  add  much  to  the  ever  increasing  popularity 
o    this  most  famous  HOTEL. 


GALL  CURE 

For  GALL  BACKS  and  SHOULDERS,  CRUPPE 
SORES  and  SADDLE  GALLS  there  is  nou 
superior. 

The  horse  CAN  BE  WORKED  AS  USUAL 

For  BARBED  WIRE  CUTS,  CALKS,  SCRATCH- 
ES, BLOOD  POISONED  SORES  and  ABRASIONS 
OF  THE  SKIN  it  has  no  equal. 

It  is  very  adhesive  and  easily  applied  to  a  watery 
as  well  as  a  dry  sore. 

Its  use  will  absolutely  prevent  BLOOD  POISON 
ING.  In  this  respeot  there  is  no  Gall  Cure  offereo. 
which  can  justly  even  claim  to  be  a  competitor. 
We  placed  it  on  the  market  relying  wholly  on  its 
merit  for  success,  and  notwithstanding  the  faot  that 
comparatively  little  has  been  done  in  the  way  of 
advertising  the  sales  of  1900  were  100  per  cent  great- 
er than  the  aggregate  sales  of  Gall  Cure  preceding 
that  year.  This  increase  was  entirely  due  to  ics 
MERITS,  and  from  it  we  feel  justified  in  saying  that 
it  is  THE  GALL  CURE  OF  THE  30TH  CENTURY. 

It  is  a  quiok  and  sure  cure  for  those  troublesome 
skin  cracks  under  the  f e  -«ck  v  aich  injure  and  often 
lay  up  race  horses.

TWO  WEEKS  FROM  MONDAY  NEXT,  on  the 
3d  day  of  April,  entries  will  close  for  a  rich 
program  of  trotting  and  pacing  events  offered  by  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association 
for  its  August  meeting.  While  there  is  no  regular 
circuit  in  California,  there  is  some  good  racing  every 
year,  and  the  fact  i9  due  to  the  existence  of  this  asso- 
ciation, which  through  years  of  depression  and  sea- 
sons of  prosperity  has  never  failed,  since  its  organiza- 
tion to  give  one  and  sometimes  three  or  four  meetings 
each  year  at  which  good  purses  and  stakes  were 
offered.  To  this  fact  more  than  anything  else  is 
attributed  the  keeping  alive  of  trotting  interests  on 
this  Coast,  and  breeders  and  owners  should  remember 
this  and  do  everything  to  aid  the  association  in  secur- 
ing a  largelist  of  entries,  The  trotter  that  wins  the 
2:24  class  at  the  Breeders  meeting  any  year,  earns 
more  money  than  tbe  majority  taken  across  the 
mountains  to  race,  as  this  stake  is  worth  $1000  to  the 
winner,  to  say  nothing  of  other  races  here  which  a 
borse  in  that  class  has  the  opportunity  of  winning. 
At  the  Breeders  meeting  this  year  $14,500  will  be  dis- 
tributed among  the  winners  of  twelve  races.  The 
2:24  class  trot  is  for  $2000,  the  2:20  pace  for  $1500,  and 
there  are  five  $800  purses  for  other  classes  In 
the  Futurity  for  three-year-old  trotters  $2300  is 
this  portion,  while  $1300  is  the  amount  the  three- 
year-old  pacers  will  contest  for.  The  two-year-old 
Futurity  trotters  have  $1450  to  race  for  and  the  two- 
year  old  pacers  $950.  Verily  these  are  pretty  rich 
events  for  one  association  to  give,  and  the  fact  that  in 
an  existence  of  many  years  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  haB 
never  defaulted  in  its  paymeuts  and  always  has  the 
money  in  its  treasury  to  pay  every  purse,  is  sufficient 
guarantee  to  owners  that  they  will  get  their  money  if 
they  win  it.  There  are  four  or  live  tracks  in  Califor- 
nia that  will  announce  good  purses  this  year  as  soon 
as  their  managers  see  how  the  Breeder's  program  fills. 
It  is  unfortunate,  but  no  less  true,  that  California 
associations  are  given  to  waiting  on  the  Breeders  every 
year,  and  fear  to  take  the  lead  in  arranging  programs 
preferring  to  follow  in  the  wake  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B. 
A.  It  therefore  behooves  horse  owners  and  trainers 
to  make  the  entry  list  for  the  Breeders  meeting  as 
large  as  possible  that  the  other  associations   may  be 


induced  to  arrange  liberal  programs.  Last  year,  the 
Pleasanton,  San  Jose,  Vallejo  and  Santa  Rosa  meet- 
ings all  furnished  excellent  racing,  and  no  small  cir- 
cuit ever  gave  a  cleaner  series  of  contests.  Had  the 
State  Fair  not  proven  a  fiasco  the  short  season  of 
harness  racing  in  California  would  have  been  a  big 
success.  This  year  Pleasanton,  San  Jose,  Santa 
Rosa,  Woodland  and  Los  Angeles  will 
give  meetings  without  a  doubt,  and  Petaluma 
Vallejo,  Fresno,  and  one  or  two  more  tracks  may  be 
inline.  Hanford,  where  a  good  meeting  with  small 
purses  Is  regularly  given,  Hollister,  Salinas,  Tulare, 
Dkiab,  Eureka  and  a  half  dozen  othertracks  will  offer 
purses  from  $200  to  $500,  and  there  will  be  plenty  of 
racing  for  those  who  have  trotters  and  pacers  in  con- 
dition to  start.  Owners  of  good  prospects  should 
recollect  that  the  purses  are  not  the  only  things  to  be 
gained  by  racing  them.  The  case  of  the  three-year- 
old  Ally  Mamie  R.,  winner  of  two  small  purses  last 
year,  is  one  to  consider.  Many  of  the  wise  contingent 
of  horsemen  expressed  the  opinion  that  Mr.  Reams 
was  not  using  good  judgment  in  starting  an  unstaked 
filly  like  her  for  small  purses  and  giving  her  a  mark 
of  2:15J,  saying  that  it  was  foolish  to  show  her  up  in- 
stead of  holding  her  over  for  the  Grand  Circuit.  He 
gave  her  the  record,  however,  proved  to  all  who  saw 
hor  that  she  was  a  really  high  class  filly,  and  tbe 
result  is  James  Butler,  of  New  York,  recently  paid 
him  the  neat  sum  of  $6000  for  her,  enough  to  buy  a 
sixty-acre  farm  worth  $100  an  acre.  If  you  have  any 
good  prospects  race  them  in  California  and  win  when- 
ever you  can.     Start  right  by  making  entries  in  all

That  the  name  is  a  grand  one  and  means  something, 
is  Mr.  Crippen's  contention,  but  Mr.  Durfee  thinks 
the  name  Galindo,  which  he  has  given  the  young 
stallion,  is  shorter,  more  euphonious  and  also  has  a 
meaning.  Galindo  is  the  name  of  the  noted  Mexican 
bandit  that  has  the  reputation  of  being  about  the 
gamest  outlaw  ever  known  in  that  country  where 
bandits  flourish.  Mr.  Durfee  says  Galindo  has  been 
pursued  for  years  and  never  caught  and  he  thinks 
when  the  colt  Galindo  starts  racing  it  will  be  a  very 
hard  proposition  for  any  other  trotter  to  catch  him.

To  the  Public: 

After  a  careful  consideration  of  the  subject  and  a 
general  canvass  of  the  situation,  we  have  concluded 
that  it  would  be  unwise  to  hold  a  sale  of  trotting 
horses  at  Cleveland  this  spring,  and  will  devote  our 
efforts  exclusively  to  our  Boston  sale. 

This  is  not  an  abandonment  of  our  sales  at  Cleve- 
land, where  we  own  our  sale  mart,  and  where  we  have 
done  well  for  our  consignors    until   last   spring,  at

Association,  and  while  we  also  believe  that  1905  will

A  bad  6ale  in  1905  cannot  fail  to  be  injurious  to 
many  future  sales  and  to  the  whole  breeding  industry, 
and  we  think  it  much  better  for  all  concerned  that 
there  be  no  sale  at  Cleveland  this  year  than  for  aDy 
one  to  hold  a  sale  there  and  thus  permanently  injure

MR.  JOHN  A.  McKERRON,  the  leading  maker  of 
fine  harness  in  the  world,  as  the  gold  medals  he 
has  received  when  his  goods  have  been  placed  in  com- 
petition with  all  other  makers,  conclusively  proves, 
has  removed  his  establishment  from  203  Mason  street, 
this  city,  to  the  handsome  new  building  at  221-223 
Golden  Gate  avenue,  where  it  occupies  the  entire 
ground  floor  and  basement.  Mr.  McKerron  is  recog- 
nized all  over  the  world  as  the  leading  maker  of  fine 
harness  and  horse  boots.  His  handiwork  is  in  use  by 
the  leading  trainers  in  America,  Russia,  France, 
Austria,  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  and  orders  for 
his  fine  carriage  harness  comes  regularly  from  the 
wealthy  owners  of  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Chicago 
and  Boston  and  other  leading  cities  of  the  country. 
There  is  a  reason  for  this.  Mr  McKerron  is  the 
peer  of  any  harness  maker  in  the  world,  and  it  is 
his  invariable  rule  to  permit  nothing  of  his  manu- 
facture to  leave  his  establishment  that  is  not  made 
in  the  most  thorough  manner  and  of  the  very  best 
materials.  His  standard  is  "the  best"  and  his 
goods  are  always  up  to  it.  In  tbe  new  location, 
which  is  one  of  the  best  in  the  city,  he  will  have 
better  facilities  than  ever  before.

JOTTINGS. 


DIRECT  IS  DEAD.  The  "little  black  rascal"  that 
probably  had  more  friends  and  admirers  than 
any  stallion  ever  bred  in  California  dropped  dead  from 
rupture  of  the  heart  at  James  Butler's  East  View 
Farm,  New  York,  on  Wednesday  of  this  week.  Mr. 
Butler  purchased  Direct  nine  years  ago,  and  the  once 
champion  pacing  stallion  has  been  the  premier  at 
East  View  Farm  since,  with  the  exception  of  the  year 
1900  when  he  made  the  season  at  Pleasanton  in  charge 
of  the  late  Thomas  Keating.  No  greater  race  horse 
ever  lived  than  Direct.  H9  was  trotting  bred,  but  a 
natural  pacer,  and  although  he  raced  and  won  at  the 
trotting  gait,  getting  a  mark  of  2:23  as  a  three-year- 
old  and  2:18}  as  a  four-year-old,  he  carried  nearly 
thirty  ounces  in  front  to  make  him  stick  to  the  diag' 


(gg^gi  eating  tainted  meat,  or  drinking  to  excess,  the  re- 
formers immediately  propose  to  prohibit  by  law  the 
selling  of  meat  and  liquor.  If  the  sport  of  horse  rac- 
ing is  conducted  by  an  association  as  a  gambling  busi- 
ness, they  propose  to  stop  all  horse  racing  and  all 
betting.  Regulation  of  anything  has  no  place  in  the 
excitable  brain  of  the  reformer.  "Prohibit  everything 
that  does  not  meet  with  our  approval"  is  their  cry. 
Last  Tuesday  the  associated  press  dispatches  con- 
veyed the  news  that  a  professor  of  Columbia  Uni- 
versity and  another  of  the  Catholic  University  of 
America  had  stated  before  the  Contemporary  Club  of 
Philadelphia,  that  they  could  find  no  reason  for  say- 
ing that  gambling  in  itself  is  wrong.  Both  according 
to  the  dispatch  "expressed  the  opinion  that  gambling 
cannot  be  eradicated  from  modern  life,  and  that  the 
wisest  thing  to  do  is  properly  control  it."  One  of 
these  level  headed  professors  made  an  appeal  for  a 
course  of  instruction  in  the  schools  which  might 
lessen  gambling  in  the  next  generation,  and  said  that 


is  a  benefit  instead  of  an  evil  wherever  it  is  properly 
conducted  or  controlled. 


onal  gait.     As  a  five-year-old  he  started  unsuccessfully    cities  should  take  up  the  work  of  regulating  gambling 


in  the  East,  and  it  was  then  that  his  breeder  and 
owner,  Monroe  Salisbury,  concluded  to  let  him  go  at 
his  natural  gait,  the  pace.  Relieved  of  the  great 
weight  Direct  soon  showed  his  wonderful  speed,  and 
in  1S91  he  mat  and  defeated  the  best  pacers  on  the 
Grand  Circuit,  closing  the  year  with  a  record  of  2:06 
to  high  wheels,  made  in  a  tilt  against  time  at  Inde- 
pendence, Iowa.  At  Terre  Haute,  when  not  in  condi- 
tion, he  met  the  pacing  champion,  Hal  Pointer,  and 
was  beaten:  but  at  Nashville  soon  after  he  demon- 
strated his  superiority  over  the  Pointer  horse  by 
defeating  him  in  2:10,  2:09i 
and  2:11,  the  three  fastest 
heat9  up  to  that  time,  and 
the  following  week  he  again 
took  the  Tennessee  champion 
into  camp  in  2:09,  2:08  and 
2:08|  This  clinched  his  title 
to  thechampionship  as  a  race 
horse,  and  although  in  1892 
Mascot  paced  a  mile  in  2:04 
and  Hal  Pointer  one  in  2:041, 
Direct  lowered  his  mark  to 
2:051  and  was  considered  the 
best  race  horse  among  all  the 
pacers.  Two  years  later  his 
son  Directly  won  the  two- 
year-old  championship  by 
pacing  a  mile  in  2:07|,  a  rec- 
ord which  stands  to  this  day, 
and  Direct  began  a  career  as 
a  sire  which  is  equal  to  that 
gained  by  him  on  the  turf. 

Direct  held  the  world'sree- 
ord  of  2:06  to  high  wheels, 
and  in  the  stud  hassired  four 
with  a  faster  average  record 

than  any  other  stallion.  His  2:10  performers  are  nine 
in  number,  and  include  Directly  2:031,  Direct  Hal  2:041, 
Bonnie  Direct  (4)  2:051,  King  Direct  2:051,  Prince 
Direct  2:07,  Directum  Kelly  (4)  2:08},  Trilby  Direct 
2:08£,  Direct  View  2:08|  and  Rey  Direct  2:10.  Twenty- 
one  of  his  get  are  in  the  2:15  list,  forty  in  2:20  and  fifty 
in  2:25. 

Direct  was  a  black  horse,  stood  15  2  and  was  a 
blocky  built,  stoutly  made  horse  with  considerable 
finish.  He  was  foaled  in  1885,  and  bred  at  Pleasanton 
Stock  Farm  by  Monroe  Salisbury.  His  sire  was  the 
great  trotting  champion.  Director  2:17,  also  sire  of 
Directum  2:051,  Nathan  Straus 2:041,  and  of  the  dams 
of  John  A.  McKerron  2:041,  Ozanam  2:07,  Little 
Thome  2:07}  and  many  others.  The  dam  of  Direct 
was  Echora  2:231,  dam  also  of  Echo  Lass  2:26},  dam 
of  Ellamore  2:29?.,  and  of  Titus,  own  brother  to  Direct 
and  sire  of  Stipulator  2:111.  Echora  was  by  Echo 
462,  son  of  Hambletonian  10,  and  her  dam  by  Jack 
Hawkins,  a  son  of  the  great  thoroughbred  race  horse 
Boston.  The  third  dam  was  a  mare  of  unknown 
breeding.  Direct  has  left  a  family  of  sons  that  wiil 
add  to  the  fame  of  the  family  as  the  years  goby 
Luckily  there  are  a  few  of  them  in  this  State.  Direct's 
death  is  a  severe  loss  to  Mr.  Butler,  but  a  greater  one 
to  the  breeding  industry. 


as  an  essentially  city  problem.  And  now  these  pro- 
fessors are  being  "jumped  on"  by  every  pin-head 
preacher  and  would-be  reformer  in  the  country,  are 
accused  of  a  thousand  statements  they  did  not  make, 
and  are  even  accused  of  advocating  the  doctrine  that 
gambling  should  be  taught  in  the  public  schools.  This 
would  be  amusing  were  it  not  so  dishonest  and  dis- 
gusting. Nothing  would  lersen  gambling  so  much  as 
the  education  of  the  people  to  the  fact  that  in  all 
gambling  games  only  a  few  can  win,  and  that  gambling 
in  any  form  should  only  be  indulged  in  as  a  recreation 


Well,  the  California  Legislature  has  adjourned  and 
while  it  failed  to  do  anything  to  aid  the  district  fairs) 
it  wae  gracious  enough  not  to  pass  the  law  that  would 
put  every  person  in  jail  for  betting  a  few  dollars  that 
his  horse  could  trot,  pace  or  run  faster  than  one 
belonging  to  some  other  fellow.  For  this,  horsemen 
should  be  truly  grateful.  When  legislative  reformers 
get  to  work,  they  go  at  it  generally  with  heads  down 
and  eyes  shut  like  a  herd  of  buffaloes  making  an 
atta  k  od  a  railroad  train,  and  they  generally  use 
about  as  much  intelligence.  Let  them  once  conceive 
tho  idea  that  evil  results  from  anything,  no  matter 
■  harmless  that  thing  may  be  in  moderation,  and 
-  want  to  abolish  it  at  once.    If  some  one  dies  from

or  sport.  It  is  the  ignorance  of  the  public  to  the  fact 
that  "form  charts,"  "tips,"  "stable  information," 
etc.,  are  utterly  unreliable  and  false,  that  leads  such 
a  large  percentage  to  become  professional  gamblers 
on  horse  races.  If  the  public  schools  were  to  teach 
the  truth  about  these  things  the  rising  generation 
would  not  give  its  hard  earned  money  to  the  book- 
makers. There  is  probably  no  sport  in  America  on 
which  so  much  is  wagered  in  proportion  to  the  games 
played  as  football.  When  the  teams  from  two  of  our 
leading  colleges  meet  on  the  gridiron,  thousands  upon 
thousands  of  dollars  in  money,  to  say  nothing  of  tons 
of  neckties,  gloves,  candy,  etc.,  are  wagered  on  the 
result,  and  there  i9  no  evil  connected  with  it.  It  is 
the  same  with  every  other  contest  of  any  kind. 
Football  is  played  once  a  year.  Horse  racing  was 
conducted  on  the  same  plan  a  few  years  ago,  and  those 
who  indulge  in  it  now  for  sport  sake,  advocate  a  re- 
turn to  the  old  methods.  When  all  the  racing  held 
in  California  was  a  two  weeks'  meeting  each  year  of 
the  Blood  Horse  Association,  and  a  circuit  of  one 
week  meetings  at  the  district  and  State  fairs,  there 
was  no  outcry  against  horse  racing  as  an  evil,  but  in- 
stead the  State  favored  it  and  appropriated  money 
that  fairs,  at  which  racing  was  given,  might  be  held. 
It  is  continuous  racing  that  is  an  evil  just  as  con- 
tinuous drinking  or  extravagant  eating  or  dressing, 
are  recoginized  as  evils.  And  here  is  where  the  un- 
thinking reformer  fails  to  discern  a  distinction.  He 
cannot  understand  the  difference  between  use  and 
abuse.  He  wants  to  stop  every  6port  on  which  a 
wager  can  be  made,  because  he  imagines  that  contests 
are  the  cause  of  gambling.  These  so-called  reformers 
were  not  in  the  majority  in  the  California  Legislature 
this  year,  but  they  may  be  at  the  next  session,  and  if 
so  they  will  prohibit  all  horse  racing  as  sure  as  fate. 
If  they  do,  it  will  be  because  continuous  racing  has 
become  an  unbearable  evil  in  California,  and  they 
believe  killing  it  outright  is  the  only  remedy.  Let  us 
hope  they  will  be  more  broadminded,  however,  and 
will  regulate  instead  of  eradicating  a  great  sport  that 


There  are  opportunities  in  several  towns  in  Cali 
fornia  where  good  mile  tracks  are  located  for  enter- 
prising horsemen  to  organize  driving  clubs  and  give 
race  meetings  that  will  draw  well  and  be  successful, 
both  financially  and  otherwise.  The  public  enjoys 
good  harness  racing  and  will  patronize  liberally  a 
meeting  that  brings  together  a  good  class  of  horses 
and  is  conducted  on  up-to-date  methods.  Very  few 
tovns  in  California  can  support  a  six  or  even  a  five 
days  meeting.  Three  days  is  about  the  limit  for  any 
except  the  Breeders  meetings,  the  State  Fair  acd 
meetings  held  at  Los  Angeles  and  one  or  two  more  of 
the  larger  towns.  A  three-day  program  will  pay  in 
most  towns.  The  only  objections  to  a  short  meeting 
are  made  by  the  business  men  who  are  asked  for  a 
subscription  to  aid  the  meeting.  Many  of  these  are 
short-sighted  and  entertain  the  belief  that  unless  the 
program  is  strung  out  for  a  week  the  crowd  will  not 
stay  in  town  and  spend  its  money.  This  is  utterly 
absurd.  More  people  will  attend  a  three-day  meeting 
and  leave  more  money  in  town  during  that  time  than 
a  six  days  meeting  will  draw.  The  reason  is  obvious. 
The  majority  of  people  who  attend  harness  races 
have  some  employment,  or  are  engaged  in  business, 
and  thev  cannot  give  up  an  entire  week  for  any  recre- 
ation of  this  kind.  They  will  go  one,  two  or  three 
days,  hut  more  than  that  is  too  great  a  draft  on  their 
valuable  time  and  the  result  is,  at  a  five  or  six  days' 
meeting,  the  heaviest  part  of  the  gate  receipts  are 
taken  in  during  the  days  on  which  the  biggest  attrac- 
tions are  offered.  Three  days  is  sufficient  for  the 
trotting  and  pacing  of  all  the  purses  that  fill,  and 
precludes  the  necessity  of  giving  specials.  A  short 
meeting  with  good  racing  will  have  just  as  large  gate 
receipts  as  one  twice  as  long  wherein  several  poor 
races  are  on  the  program  to  fill  up.  The  expenses  for 
three  days  being  about  one-half  as  much  as  for  six 
days,  and  the  receipts  being  as  large,  the  chances  of 
a  financial  success  are  double.  I  wish  a  few  enterpris- 
ing and  energe.ic  horsemen  in  several  of  the  promi- 
nent towns  in  California  could  be  made  to  understand 
this  condition  of  things  in  regard  to  harness  racing. 
If  they  could  a  circuit  could  be  organized  that  would 
be  a  permanent  thing  in  California  and  be  of  great 
benefit  to  breeders,  owners  and  trainers.

Mr.  S.  Hunt  of  Eureka  has  a  smile  on  his  face  these 
days  having  discovered  another  Moroseo  2:12  in  a 
brown  geldiDg  that  is  an  own  brother  to  that  good 
trotter.  He  had  been  earning  his  oats  in  a  livery 
stable  in  Eureka  fo.-  several  years  before  Mr.  Hunt 
got  him,  but  after  a  very  little  training  he  is  now 
stepping  quarters  in  35  seconds  and  does  it  with  ease. 
Mr.  Hunt  is  the  man  who  gave  Moroseo,  Forest  W., 
Bollivar,  Nellie  R.,  Pearl  K  and  several  others  by 
Wayland  W.  all  their  early  education,  and  he  claims 
that  his  latest  acquisition  is  among  the  be6t  of  them. 

Never  has  there  been  such  a  demand  for  good 
roadsters  as  now  exists  in  Humboldt  county,  aDd 
where  the  supply  is  to  come  from  no  one  knows.  For 
several  years  past  the  people  here  have  been  breeding 
more  drafters  than  roadsters,  thus  making  a  scarcity 
of  horses  fit  for  road  use,  while  there  is  a  good  supply 
of  the  heavy  horses. 

The  stallion  Cassiar  is  sure  to  be  well  patronized 
this  season.  His  oldest  colts  are  but  two  and  amongst 
them  are  some  fine  lookers,  with  plenty  of  speed. 
The  first  one  ever  harnessed  stepped  an  eighth  in  20 
seeonds  after  five  weeks  handling  as  a  yearling. 

I  have  been  informed  that  Mr.  Brace  will  not  bring 
h.s  McKinney  stallion  Greco  to  Humboldt  in  time  to 
make  a  season  with  him.  The  horse  is  now  in  train- 
ing at  Pleasanton  and  will  be  missed  here  by  many 
breeders. 

If  I  am  correctly  informed  Mr.  C.  C.  Ricks,  who  is 
now  at  Pleasanton  with  a  string  of  horses,  will  arrive 
here  about  April  1st  with  his  fine  young  stallion 
Cruzados  by  McKinney,  and  will  place  him  in  the 
stud  at  Eureka.  TRAVELER. 


Henry  Ten  Eyck  White,  writing  to  the  Chicago 
Tribune,  says:  John  E.  Madden,  famous  on  the  run- 
ning turf  for  the  last  ten  years  as  the  owner  and 
trainer  of  some  of  the  best  thoroughbreds  that  have 
sported  silk  in  this  country,  will  be  back  to  his  first 
love,  the  trotters,  in  a  small  way  this  year,  provided 
a  couple  of  colts  he  has  bred  and  that  look  as  if  they 
would  do  to  race  are  good  enough  to  go  out  for  the 
money.  The  Madden  trotters  are  an  unnamed  seven- 
year-old  stallion  by  Director,  and  a  three-year-old  by 
Ail  bell.  The  Director  horse  is  said  to  have  shaded 
2:12  a  little  in  his  work  last  fall,  and  the  three-year- 
old  is  eligible  to  the  Kentucky  Futurity,  and  stepped 
well  enough  in  1904  to  make  it  advisable  to  point  him 
specially  for  thit  event.  Adbell,  the  s're  of  this  colt, 
was  owned  by  Madden  at  the  time  of  the  stallion's 
death,  and  the  chances  are  that  had  he  lived  his 
owner  would  have  bred  a  number  of  trotting  mares 
to  him  every  season,  and  campaigned  the  produce 
for  the  fun  of  the  thing,  meanwhile  devoting  his 
serious  attention  to  the  running  game,  at  which  he 
has  made  a  fortune  by  selling  colts  of  his  own  raising 
at  record-breaking  prices.

BRIGHT  OUTLOOK  IN  WOODLAND. 
Woodland,  March  11-Tbe  good  mile  track  at 
the  Woodland  Stock  Farm  is  a  busy  place  these  days 
and  over  one  hundred  horses  are  in  training  here. 
Since  the  track  was  purchased  by  Mr.  Alex  Brown  it 
has  been  in  charge  of  C.  A.  Spencer  and  much  credit 
is  due  the  latter  for  the  excellent  manner  in  which 
the  grounds  and  track  have  been  cared  for.  The 
track  is  kept  in  the  very  best  of  shape  for  training 
purposes  and  improvements  are  being  made  continu 


year-old  trotter  by  Jas.  Madison,  out  of  Hilda  by  Nut- 
wood,  all  owned  by  Frank  Wright,  Sacramento,  and 
a  three-year-old  filly  by  Diablo,  owned  by  Wm. 
Harkey.  Gridley. 

Peter  Fryatt  is  working  a  great  prospect  in  the  bay 
pacing  mare  Bridal  Rose  (5)  by  Falrose,  out  of  Maud 
B.  by  Seneca  Chief.  She  is  a  handsome  16}-band 
mare  with  a  great  burst  of  speed  and  can  step  along 
at  a  2:10  gait  right  now.  She  worked  in  2:24  with  a 
quarter  in  32  seconds  in  her  three  year-old  form  and 
should  be  able  to  take  cate  of  herself  in  good  company 
this  fall.  Mr.  Fryatt  also  has  a  two-year-old  trotting 
filly  called  Easter  Maid  by  Senator  out  of  the  dam  of 
the  above  mare  that  looks  like  a  sure  trotter. 

The  veteran  R.  H.  Nason  is  working  the  fast  green 
trotting  mare  Tubelena  by  Tube  Rose  2:17J  out  of 
Lena  Holly  2:181  by  Mountain  Boy,  and  he  expects 
great  things  of  her  as  she  has  shown  him  quarters  in 
31  seconds  and  is  a  good  gaited  and  good  headed  mare.

California's  best  training  camps.  As  every  one  knows, 
the  Woodland  Farm  is  the  home  of  the  two  princely 
sires  Nushagak  and  Prince  Ansel  and  both  of  these 
appeared  to  the  best  possible  advantage.  The 
admirers  of  the  famous  Director  family  could  almost 
imagine  it  was  the  old  horse  himself  when  Nushagak 
was  led  out  for  he  is  the  same  sturdily  built,  imposing 
black  horse,  and  his  intelligent  head  showed  the 
power  and  determination  for  which  the  family  is 
noted.  Prince  Ansel,  who  earned  a  two-year-old 
record  of  2:20J,  was  regarded  as  one  of  the  fastest 
colts  of  his  day.  He  is  certainly  one  of  the  finest  look- 
ing sons  of  the  famous  Dexter  Prince,  and  judging 
from  the  looks  of  the  youngsters  by  him,  now  in 
training,  he  is  destined  to  become  a  great  sire.  Mr. 
Spencer  has  a  big  stable  full  of  green  horses  mostly 
by  Nushagak  and  Prince  Ansel  and  there  is  a  wonder- 
ful uniformity  throughout  the  whole  lot  aB  regards 
both  good  looks  and  speed.  It  would  be  a  hard  matter 
to  pick  out  the  star  of  the  lot  and  an  idea  of  the  great 
possibilities  of  the  youngsters  can  be  had  from  the 
followinglist  now  in  training:  PrincesB  Mamie  (3)  by 
Prince  Ansel,  dam  Mamie  Martin  by  Nushagak,  that 
has  shown  eighths  at  a  2:15  gaii ;  El  Rey  (3.i  by  Nusha- 
gak out  of  Piocha  by  Dexter  Prince;  Bonnie  Lass  (3) 
by  Nushagak,  dam  Bonnie  Derby  by  Cbas.  Derby; 
Beauty  (3)  by  Nushagak,  dam  Addie  W.  by  Whips; 
Prince  Gay  (4)  by  Prince  Ansel,  out  of  Nosegay  (dam 
of  Aristo  2:081)  by  Langton:  Joe  Dick  (2)  by  Nushagak 
dam  Everette  by  Nephew;  Red  Blossom  (2)  by  Nusha- 
gak, dam  Red  Flower  by  Alfred;  Jessie  Shirley  (3)  by 
Nushagak,  dam  Hattie  W.  by  Alaska;  Lauress  (4)  by 
Mendocino,  dam  Laura  Drew  (dam  of  Freedom  2:29J) 
by  Arthurton;  Daisy  B.  (8)  by  Waldstein,  dam  Viola 
by  Gen.  Benton;  and  La  Correcta  (5)  by  Arthur  B., 
out  of  Nosegay.  Of  the  above  numbers  Daisy  B.  is 
the  only  one  ohat  has  been  to  the  races  and  must  be 
considered  a  very  great  prospect  as  she  has  trotted 
several  miles  around  2:12  in  her  races  and  has  shown 
2:06  speed  in  her  work.     Her  best   work   this  spriDg 


Brown  Jug,  Swift  Water  (2)  by  Diablo  out  of  Mischief, 
and  a  brown  colt  by  Tube  Rose. 

A.  L.  Charvo  has  a  stable  full  of  good  looking  and 
nicely  bred  colts  and  several  of  them  are  very  prom- 
ising His  outfit  consists  of  A.  B.  Rodman's  trotting 
gelding  Pat  Rose  by  Falrose  that  worked  in  2:14  last 
year;  The  Poppy  (2)  by  Steinmont,  out  of  Nosegay; 
Sir  Robert  by  Nushagak,  dam  by  Dawn;  Nusadi  by 
Nushagak,  out  of  the  great  broodmare  Addie  by 
Dexter  Prince;  Kinocba  bv  McKinney,  dam  Piocha  by 
Dexter  Prince,  grandam  Peko  2:111  by  Electioneer;  a 
three-year-old  filly  by  Nushagak,  dam  by  Azmoor;  a 
five-year-old  gelding  by  Don  Marvin,  dam  by  Black 
Ralph  and  a  smart  looking  yearling  by  Steinmont  out 


Woodland  Stock  Farm  Track 

of  Lottie  2:15  by  San  Diego.  Mr.  Charvo  has  just 
received  from  J.  W.  Marshall  of  Dixon  the  handsome 
three-year-old  filly  by  Demonio,  out  of  a  Fallis  mare, 
and   is  highly   pleased    with  her.     She  is  of  good  size 


has  been  a  mile  in  2:23.     Mr.  Spencer  has  great  hopes     and  a  perfectly  gaited  filly,  and    Mr.  Charvo  expects 


of  Prince  Gay  developing  iDto  a  faster  horse  than  his 
half-brother  Aristo  2:081,  as  he  is  a  grandly  gaited, 
level-headed,  big  colt  with  considerably  more  speed 
than  Aristo  at  tbe  same  age,  and  every  chance  will  be 
given  him  to  show  his  worth.  The  farm  owns  about 
20  exceedingly  well  bred  mares,  which  are  being  bred 
to  Nushagak  and  Prince  Ansel  according  to  their 
blood  lines  and  there  are  also  about  a  doze*  likely 
looking  yearlings  out  of  these  mares  running  in  the 
paddock  and  it  is  very  easy  to  believe  that  these 
horses  will  earn  the  Woodland  Farm  a  most  credit- 
able reputation  before  many  years. 

The  well  known  reinsman  Hi  Hogoboom  has  quite 
a  big  string  in  his  charge  and  his  horses  are  probably 
farther  along  in  their  training  than  anything  at  the 
track.  He  has  a  five-year-old  green  mare  by  Diawood. 
dam  by  Fallis,  belonging  to  D  McDougall,  Sacra- 
mento, that  has  paced  a  mile  in  2:20  with  a  last  quarter 
in  3Useconds;  Palo  King  a  three-year-old  colt  by 
Marengo  King,  dam  Palo  Belle  2:24}  by  Palo  Alto; 
Daisy  E.,  a  green  mare  by  Steinway  that  ha6  paced  in 
2:31,  last  quarter  in  32  seconds;  Charmion  (3)  by  Nut- 
wood Wilkes,  out  of  the  dam  of  Lisonjero  2:081;  Red 
Hot,  a  four-year  old  gelding  by  Dagan,  that  has  trot- 
ted in  2:26,  with  a  quarter  in  32i  seconds;  Natividad 
(3)  by  Boodle,  out  of  an  Electioneer  mare,  and  some 
youngsters  by  Exioneer,  Stamboul  and  Stam  B.  The 
successful  sire  Iran  Alto  2:121  by  Palo  Alto  2:081- 
Elaine  2:20  is  looking  like  a  three-year-old  and  from 
the  number  of  good  mares  booked  to  him  already  he 
promises  to  have  a  big  season. 

W.  J.  Ivey  is  training  six  head  and  incidentally  he 
has  the  fastest  pacer  and  also  the  fastest  trotter  by 
the  records  at  the  track,  in  F.  E.  Wright's  pacer 
Kelly  Briggs  2:091  by  Bayswater  Wilkes  and  H.  D  B. 
2:13  by  Arthur  Holt,  owned  by  Harry  Bell,  Sacra- 
mento. The  green  ones  in  the  lot  are  Pearl  S.,  a 
pacer  by  Hanford  Medium,  out  of  the  dam  of  Kelly 
Briggs;  M.  J.  by  Bay  Bird,  dam  by  Echo  and  a  three- 


her  to  develop  into  a  high-class  trotter. 

C.  R.  Harrington  is  working  Robert  Darrow  (3)  by 
Alta  Vela,  dam  Virginia  Vasto  by  Vasto;  Wessington, 
a  four-year-old  pacer  by  Falrose,  out  of  Virginia 
Vasto,  that  has  shown  2:20  speed  with  four  weeks' 
work;  Tamanco  34197  by  Boreal;  Chesterby  Lynmont; 
a  green  mare  by  Bay  Bird;  and  a  black  trotting  filly 
by  Bayswater  Wilkes,  dam  by  Falrose. 

Mr.  C.  B.  Bigelow  has  the  handsome  three-year-old 
colt  Kinney  Rose  by  McKinney,  dam  by  Falrose 
Lassie  (3)  by  Tube  Rose,  dam  by  Election;  a  yearling 
by  Marvin  Wilkes,  dam  Lucy  B.  2:17J,  achestnut  two" 
year-old  by  Diablo;  and  some  green  ones  by  Diablo, 
Alexander  Button  and  Lynwood  W. 

H.  B.  Freeman  is  the  latest  arrival  at  the  track,  bis 
horses  having  been  shipped  over  from  Sacramento 
the  first  of  the  week.  He  has  Mr.  Mabry  McMahan's 
good  Direct  stallion  I  Direct  2:12 J;  Wild  Bell  (4)  by 
Wildnut,  dam  by  Bell  Bird;  Bill  Dooley  by  Bay  Bird,

Bell  Bird;  Ferd  Madison  by  James  Madison  and  a 
green  one  by  a  son  of  Prompter. 

SACRAMENTO  GOSSIP. 
Sacramento,  March  12— The  famous  old  State 
Fair  Grounds  here  are  almost  a  thing  of  the  past  and 
the  last  of  the  buildings  and  stables  are  being  torn 
down  this  wee*.  The  track  is  fit  for  jogging  purposes 
only  and  local  horsemen  must  look  for  new  quarters 
for  their  training  operations  until  the  new  track  is 
completed  this  fall.  A  few  of  the  trainers  are  stiil 
holding  forth  near  the  track,  but  those  with  iacing 
prospects  willleavein  a  fewdaysand  in  all  probability 
Woodland  will  be  the  destination  of  all  of  them. 

Walter  Mastin  is  making  a  short  season  with  the 
handsome  young  stallion  Marvin  Wilkes  (3)  2:18  by 
Don  Marvin,  out  of  NoraS.  by  Sable  Wilkes  aod  will 


then  get  him  ready  to  race  He  has  developed  into  a 
magnificent  big  stallion  and  has  already  been  bred  to 
a  lot  of  high  class  mares.  He  has  shown  that  be  is  a 
first  class  race  horse  and  barring  accidents  should 
earn  a  very  low  record  this  summer.  Mr.  Mastin  alto 
has  the  six-year-old  bay  stallion  Chas.  Marvin  by 
Don  Marvin,  out  of  Esmeralda  (dam  of  Don  Lowtll 
2:114,  Dixie2:25,  etc.)  by  Brigadier  the  trotting  gelditg 
Penrose  2:181  by  Falrose  and  the  big  bay  horse  Daki  n 
D.  (3)  2:10J  by  Athadon.  The  last  named  will  be  rac  d 
as  a  trotter  this  season. 

A.  E.  Mastin  has  three  good  prospects  and  all  if 
them  are  working  nicely.  Great  things  are  expect'  d 
this  season  of  the  handsome  three-year-old  colt  Sir 
Carlton  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  dam  Lady  Keating  by 
Stam  B.,  and  hebids  far  to  do  all  that  is  asked  of  him. 
Another  one  in  tbe  lot  that  acts  like  one  of  the  stn- 
sational  kind  is  the  five-year-old  chestnut  geldii  g 
Our  King,  owned  by  G.  S.  Mastin.  This  fellow  is  a 
rangy,  nice  gaited  trotter  by  Knight,  dani  Anteela  by 
Antevolo,  and  his  second  dam  is  the  Middletown  Mare, 
dam  of  Flying  Jib  2:04  and  others.  His  training  bss 
been  very  limited  but  he  is  naturally  fast  and  goc  d 
gaited  and  acts  like  one  of  the  real  good  kind.  The 
third  of  the  string  is  Mr.  Tod  hunter's  three-year-old 
filly  Zombelle  by  Zombro  2:11,  out  of  The  Silver  Belle 
(dam  of  Zombowette  2:18)  by  Silver  Bow  and  she 
promises  to  develop  into  a  high  class  mare  although 
she  has  bad  but  very  little  work. 

S.  U.  Mitchell  has  a  small  but  select  string  in  train- 
ing, headed  by  the  handsome  young  stallion  Peter  J. 
by  Stam  B.  2:111.  This  fellow  has  developed  into  a 
powerfil  big  horse  standing  close  to  16^  hands  and 
should  Mr.  Mitchell  race  him  this  fall  he  will  earn  a 
good  record  as  he  trotted  quarters  at  a  2:10  gait  last 
year  as  a  three  year-old  and  seems  faster  than  ever 
this  spring.  The  others  are  Zomatella  (3)  by  Zombro, 
dam  Stella  by  Sidney;  Berniece  P.  (3)  by  Zombrc- 
Jeanny  Winston  uj  Almont;  Billy  Emerson  (3)  by 
Zombro,  dam  Bestella  by  Prompter  and  a  handsome 
two-year-old  colt  by  Azmoor  out  of  Elsie  by  Kentucky 
Baron. 

The  Electioneer  stallion  Azmoor,  now  in  his  twenty- 
third  year  is  passing  his  last  years  in  ease  in  the  barn 
cf  S.  C.  Tryon  &  Son  who  have  owned  him  for  the 
past  three  years.  He  looks  hale  and  hardy  and  is 
evidently  as  vigorous  as  some  horses  ten  yea.'t 
younger.  The  Messrs.  Tryon  also  own  one  of  tbe 
best  green  trotting  mares  that  have  been  seen  here  in 
a  long  time  and  several  promising  youngsters  by 
Azmoor  and  Silver  Bow. 

James  Stewart  is  jogging  the  handsome  grei  n 
pacing  stallion  Fearnaught  by  Lynmont,  out  of 
Elmorine  by  Elmo  and  hopes  to  race  him  this  fall. 
He  has  worked  a  mile  in  2:14  with  quarters  at  a  tv  ii 
minute  gait  and  those  who  have  seen  the  horse  in  Lis 
work  think  that  2:08  will  not  Suop  him.  Mr.  Stewart 
is  also  working  some  green  prospects  that  include  a 
couple  of  very  promising  young  trotters  by  Knight, 
out  of  well  bred  mares. 

W.  O.  Bowers,  the  genial  proprietor  of  tbe  Capiii.: 
Hotel,  reports  that  a  lot  of  high  class  mares  have 
already  been  bred  to  bis  good  stallion  Silver  Bee2.27jj 
by  Silver  Bow  2:16  and  that  prospects  are  bright  for 
a  big  season.  Mr.  Bowers  is  breeding  a  number  oi 
good  mares  of  his  own  and  also  has  a  couple  of  young- 
sters in  training  in  the  hands  of  Prof.  Freeman  at 
Woodland. 

STOCKTON  TRACK  CLOSED. 
Stockton,  March  13 — Things  have  a  pretty  glootrv 
look  around  Stockton  as  the  famous  old  track  b;  s 
been  plowed  up,  the  buildings  torn  away  and  tl  e 
gates  locked.  Of  course  there  are  no  trainers  locali  d 
here  now  and  the  only  horseman  of  note  who  is  hold- 
ing forth  is  the  veteran  John  Rowen,  who  is  locatu! 
across  from  the  fair  grounds.  He  ba9  two  vi  iv 
promising  stallions  in  Monochrome  by  McKinney  2: 11  J, 
out  of  Hattie  (dam  of  Monterey  2:09|)  by  Commodore 
Belmont,  and  Mechanic  by  McKinney,  out  of  Mission 
Belle  by  St.  Nicholas,  son  of  Sidney,  and  he  also  owns 
a  couple  of  well  bred  youngsters  and  several  select 
broodmares.  Both  of  the  McKinney9  are  extremely 
fast  and  one  of  them,  Mechanic,  trotted  a  mile  in  his 
three-year-old  form  in  2:14,  with  a  quarter  in  31 J 
seconds.  B.  S.  McMahan 


"I  do  not  think  I  ever  saw  the  trotting  horse 
business  in  belter  condition,"  said  George  A.  Bain 
tbe  widely  known  auctioneer,  who  officiated  at  tbe 
Blair-Baker  sale.  "The  prices  realized  at  New  York, 
Chicago,  Indianapolis  and  Lexington  show  that  there 
is  a  great  dem.nd  for  first  class  racing  material 
roadsters  and  matinee  horses.  One  particularly  in 
couraging  thing  to  me  is  the  great  number  of  new 
people  I  see  at  the  sales.  I  am  familiar  with  the  faerx 
I  see  in  the  sale  ring,  and  kDOw  all  of  the  leadice 
buyers,  and  I  always  notice  new  faces  in  the  crowd  of 
buyers,  present  at  sales.  Tbe  presence  in  tbe  sale 
ring  of  so  many  new  buyers  is  convincing  evidence 
that  the  trottiDg  horse  is  growing  in  popularity.  Tbe 
public  is  willing  aud  anxious  to  buy  every  animal  of 
merit  offered,  and  is  willing  to  pay  a  fair  pr

Diablo  2:09}  has  been  taken  to  Fresno  for  the  season 
of  1905.  

A  pair  of  matched  dapple  grey  mares  by  Stratnway 
are  offered  for  sale.     See~advertisement. 


It  was  reported  early  in  the  year  that  Lady  Rivers, 
dam  of  Sweet  Marie,  was  not  in  foal  but  from  Empire 
City  Farm  comes  the  statement  that  she  is  certainly 
with  foal  by  Don  Oh  So,  the  horse  to  which  she  was 
bred  last  year  by  her  then  owner  Mr.  J.  C.  Adams,  of 
Phoenix,  Arizona 

Nutwood  Wilkes  was  one  of  the  comparatively  few 
stallions,  six  or  more  of  whose  get  entered  the  list  of 
new  standard  performers  last  year.  From  the  way 
the  youngsters  by  this  sire  are  stepping  this  year 
about  a  dozen  new  ones  will  be  added  to  his  list  this 
season  io  California  alone. 


A  broodmare  that  is  well  bred  and  able  to  pull  a

If  one  secures  a  good  trotting  bred  colt  or  Ally  two 
or  three  years  old  for  $200  these  days  he  is  paying  less 
than  the  average  price  at  which  they  are  selling.

raced  in  tbe  East  last  season  successfully,  will  be  a 
member  of  Thomas  W.  Murphy's  stable  this  year. 
He  was  timed  in  2:10  or  better  in  races  last  season. 


Here  is  a  little  advice  from  an  exchange  that  would 
do  to  paint  on  signs  to  be  displayed  on  every  speed- 
way: "Don't  start  a  hundred  yards  ahead  of  your 
rival  and  then  at  the  finish  claim  that  you  beat  him." 


Mr.  Thos.  Brady  of  Santa  Cruz,  has  sent  his  fine 
four-year-old  filly  by  Altamont  to  San  Jose  for  train- 
ing. She  shows  speed  and  stamina  of  a  high  order 
and  should  make  a  fast  pacer.  Mr.  Williams  will  have 
her  in  his  string.  

Peter  Fryatt,  of  Woodland,  has  for  sale  the  hand-

old  time  speed  and  usually  shows  up  in  front. 


In  an  account  of  last  year's  races  at  Eureka,  the 
winner  of  the  2:24  class  pace  was  given  as  Cassian  in- 
stead of  Cassiar,  which  is  the  correct  spelling.  Cassiar 
is  by  Soudan  out  of  Carrie  Malone,  an  own  sister  to 
Charles  Derby.  He  is  owned  by  Mr.  W.  J.  East,  of 
Fortuna.  

Frank  Durbin,  former  sheriff  of  Marion  county, 
Oreg.  n,  has  been  appointed  secretary  of  the  Oregon 
Stste  Board  of  Agriculture.  He  has  an  extended 
acquaintance  throughout  the  northwest,  is  familiar 
ivit1-  fair  work,  and  his  appointment  gives  general 
tion. 


Mr.  G.  Peirano,  of  Lodi,  Cal.,  will  have  his  good 
stallion  Alta  Genoa  2:14J  by  Dexter  Prince  out  of  the 
great  broodmare  Brownie  by  Capt.  LewiB,  in  the  stud 
at  Lodi  this  year  as  usual.  Alta  Genoa's  get  are  all 
large,  solidly  built,  smoothly  turned  horses,  with 
speed  and  first  class  road  qualities. 


Hal  B.  2:04J  has  been  sold  to  August  Eriekson  of 
Portland,  Oregon,  and  will  be  taken  to  Portland.  Mr. 
Ericksou  owns  a  number  of  well  bred  mares,  among 
them  the  California  bred  pacer  Dictatress  2:08|.  Hal 
B.  will  probably  stay  in  Los  Angeles  until  April  15th, 
the  date  on  which  his  season  there  is  advertised  to 
close.  

All  the  youngsters  to  be  sold  at  the  Oakwood  Park 
sale  Tuesday,  March  28th,  are  thoroughly  broken 
and  ready  to  put  in  training.  The  sale  takes  place  in 
the  evening  by  electric  light  at  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  's 
salesyard,  1732  Market  street.  Horses  will  be  at  the 
yard  on  Saturday  previous  to  the  sale  and  inspection 
is  invited.  

The  Vallejo  meeting  of  1903  was  for  three  days  only 
and  Mr.  Thos.  Smith,  the  manager,  came  out  a  little 
ahead  on  the  proposition.  The  meeting  of  1904  was 
for  four  days,  and  he  lost  money.  Vallejo  is  not  better 
than  a  three-day  town  and  there  are  many  more  places 
in  California  where  mile  tracks  are  situated  that  are 
very  much  like  it. 

Ai  McDonald,  the  Pleasanton  trainer,  who  has  been 
working  three  belonging  to  Oakwood  Stock  Farm, 
last  week  negotiated  the  sale  of  one  of  them  to  James 
Butler  of  New  York.  The  filly  is  three  years  old  and 
is  by  Charles  Derby  2:20  out  of  Tone,  the  dam  of 
Agitato  2:09  by  Ferguson.  She  is  a  good  gaited  pacer 
and  she  brought  a  good  price. 


Among  tbe  horses  to  be  sold  by  the  Oakwood  Park 
Stock  Farm  at  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co. 's  salesyard, 
March  28th,  is  Directola,  a  roan  mare  by  Direct  2:05J, 
dam  Steinola,  dam  of  Lena  Holly  2:17}  and  Leta  May 
2:23},  by  Steinway,  second  dam  Phaccola  by  Silver- 
thread,  son  of  The  Moor,  third  dam  the  famous  mare 
Minnehaha,  dam  of  eight  in  the  list,  including  the 
great  Beautiful  Bells.  This  is  great  breeding  and 
Directola  should  accomplish  much  in  the  broodmare 
ranks  after  she  is  raced.  She  is  capable  of  taking  a 
fast  record. 

Reine  Direct,  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Rey  Direct  2:10, 
dam  Lurline  by  Steinway;  secoDd  dam  Maggie  Mc- 
Gregor, dam  of  Al  Gregor  2:11,  W.  W.  Foote  2:15J, 
Tyana  2:16}  and  Madcap  2:20}  by  Robert  McGregor, 
sire  of  Cresceus  2:02},  is  one  of  the  choice  bred  ones  to 
be  offered  at  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  in  thi6 
city  on  the  evening  of  the  28th  inst.  Rey  Direct's 
fame  as  a  sire  will  be  established  before  this  year  is 
ended,  and  a  filly  by  him  out  of  such  a  great  brcod- 
mare  aB  Maggie  McGregor,  ought  to  be  worth  some 
money.  You  can  get  her  at  your  own  price  at  the  sale. 


G.  Marcelli,  of  this  city,  purchased  a  McMurray 
cart  of  the  1905  model  from  the  Kenney  Manufactur- 
ing Company  this  week.  Mr.  Kenoey  has  just  re- 
ceived a  new  supply  of  those  handsome  calendars  and 
a  lot  of  pamphlets  and  other  literature  about  the  Mc- 
Murray vehicles,  which  he  will  be  pleased  to  send  en 
application.     His  address  is  531  Valencia  street. 

There  is  lots  of  ice  racing  at  Albany,  N.  Y.  One 
daylast  week  Alta  McDonald, driving  W.  A.  Leggett's 
Elmer  D.  2:12J,  defeated  A.  J.  McClure's  Prince  A. 
2:12},  with  Graham  up,  on  the  Island  Park  Creek,  for 
$100'a  Bide.  It  ran  to  five  heats,  Elmer  D.  taking  the 
second,  fourth  and  fifth,  and  it  is  said,  more  than 
$3000  changed  hands.    It  was  a  big  betting  affair. 

Nancy  Hanks  2:04  is  to  be,  this  season,  mated  with 
John  A.  McKerron  2:044.  Nancy  Hanks  has  to 
date  been  mated  with  Bingen  2:06},  Peter  the  Great 
2:07},  and  imp.  Meddler.  Her  fastest  is  Admiral 
Dewey  2:14|,  to  the  cover  of  Bingen.  C.  W.  Baker, 
half  owner  of  Dewey,  says  the  horse  will  be  trained 
and  once  again  tried  in  his  class  if  ho  does  not  go 
amiss.  

Mort  Nuckols,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  has  sold  to  East- 
ern men  the  four-year-old  bay  mare,  Stolen  Sweets  by 
King  Clay,  dam  May  by  Almonastra,  price  $6000. 
The  mare  is  promising  as  a  show  mare  and  will  be 
prepared  for  the  Waldorf-Astoria  cup  next  fall.  She 
is  a  half  sister  to  Genevieve  2:14}  and  May  Brook,  a 
sensational  green  two-year-old,  and  has  a  record  as  a 
two-year-old  of  2:28.     ^_ 

William  Sirrpson,  owner  of  Empire  City  Farm, 
home  of  McKinney  2:11},  has  just  purchased  from  a 
Western  man  the  bay  mare  Ollis  McKinney  2:16}  by 
McKinney,  dam  Princess  2:27}  by  Electioneer,  second 
dam  Cimrah  by  Nutwood,  and  she  will  probably  join 
tbe  Empire  City  Farm  racing  stable,  now  in  charge  of 
W.  J.  Andrews  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  to  be  prepared  to 
make  a  campaign  next  summer. 


Zombro2:ll  will  go  to  Oregon,  June  1st.  He  will 
have  a  big  season  up  there  as  the  breeders  of  Oregon 
and  Washington  have  plenty  of  evidence  that  his 
colts  are  not  only  winners,  but  are  of  the  kind  that 
are  salable  at  profitable  prices  any  time  after  they  are 
weaned.  The  youngsters  by  Zombro  exhibited  at  the 
Oregon  State  Fair  last  year  were  admired  by  every- 
body and  won  many  blue  ribbons. 


Sidney  Dillon's  book  for  1905  is  full — 60  mares  at 
$150  eacb — and  his  owner  has  left  his  home  at  Indian- 
apolis for  a  trip  down  South  "partly  for  his  health 
and  partly  to  esctpe  the  annoyance  caused  by  belated 
breeders  begging  for  opportunities  to  book  mares." 


A  purse  for  free-for-all  trotters  will  probably  be  on 
the  program  for  the  Buffalo  Grand  Circuit  meeting. 
There  are  but  a  few  horses  to  start  in  such  a  class, 
but  there  are  two  which,  if  entered,  would  furnish 
such  a  race  as  is  seldom  seen.  These  two  are  Sweet 
Marie  2:04^  and  Tiverton  2:04£  and  Secretary  Bentley 
bas  the  assurance  from  their  owners  that  they  will  be 
entered  in  such  a  class,  if  they  train  satisfactorily 
this  spring. 

The  Denver-Overland  RacingClub  makesannounce- 
ment  of  its  June-July  meeting  in  our  columns  this 
week.  There  is  $40,000  in  purses  and  specials  There 
is  81500  for  2:24  class  trotters,  $1000  for  2:20  class

class  pacers.  All  other  classes  tor  which  purses  are 
offered,  will  race  for  $500  purse".  The  meeting  opens 
June  17th  and  continues  until  July  4th.  Read  the 
advertisement  in  this  issue. 


The  first  foal  by  the  Futurity  and  Occident  stake 
winner  Almaden  2:22}  arrived  at  San  Jose  three  weeks 
ago,  and  is  a  bright  bay,  active  as  a  kitten  and  a 
natural  trotter.  He  is  much  like  his  sire  except  in 
color  and  is  larger  than  Almaden  was  at  the  same  age. 
His  dam  is  a  mare  by  Chas.  Derby  2:20,  second  dam 
by  Wilton  5982,  thiid  dam  by  a  son  of  Happy  Medium, 
fourth  dam  by  son  of  Vermont'  Black  Hawk  5,  fifth 
dam  by  Morgan,  a  grandson  of  the  original  Justin 
Morgan,  and  sixth  dam  thoroughbred.  The  mare 
and  foal  are  owned  by  Supervisor  Ayers  of  Santa 
Clara  county.  The  mare  has  been  bred  back  to 
Almaden.  . 

The  Golden  Gate  Park  Driving  Club  is  being  re- 
organized and  its  members  propose  to  have  no  more 
racing  for  money  in  the  future  but  will  try  to  conduct 
it  on  the  plan  of  the  Cleveland  and  other  Eastern 
amateur  clubs.  This  is  a  good  move  and  when  the 
new  speed  track  in  Golden  Gate  Park  is  completed  the 
club  should  have  many  popular  matinees.  Road 
driving  is  very  popular  in  San  Francisco,  where  it 
can  be  enjoyed  every  day  in  the  year,  and  the  new 
track  now  in  course  of  construction  will  give  owners 
of  good  roadsters  a  chance  to  test  the  speed  of  their 
horses  which  they  have  not  enjoyed  since  the  old  Bay 
District  track  passed  out  ol  existence.  The  new 
Golden  Gate  Park  Club  should  have  every  encourage- 
ment in  its  new  departure. 


A  Lexington,  Ky.,  dispatch  of  the  5th  inst.  states: 
"Scott  Hudson,  the  trotting  horse  driver,  vbo  has 
spent  the  winter  in  California,  arrived  here  tonight  to 
take  charge  of  the  horses  he  will  campaign  thecoming 
season  on  the  Grand  Circuit.  Hudson  will  have  a 
stable  of  twelve  select  performers,  amoDg  them  being 
Nancy  H.,  Fortune,  Mainland,  Bingham  2:20},  and 
the  three-year-old  pacer  Baron  Ocean,  by  Oakland 
Baron,  dam  Inter-Ocean,  besides  several  promising 
greeD  horses.  Tbe  two  last  named  are  the  property 
of  Oak  Duke,  of  Wellsville,  N.  Y-,  who  recently  pur- 
chased Direct  Hal  and  numerous  high-clafs  brood- 
mares as  a  foundation  foi  an  up-to-date  breeding 
establishment." 

Chas  De  Ryder  has  bred  to  the  young  McKinney 
stallion  Greco,  his  good  young  maie  Tacona  by 
Birchwood  2:15,  dam  Frances  Medium,  dam  of  five  in 
the  list,  by  Happy  Medium;  second  dam  Annabel, 
dam  of  two,  by  George  Wilkes;  third  dam  the  famous 
broodmare  Jessie  Pepper  by  Mambrino  Chief.  Birch- 
wood  is  considered  one  of  Nutwood's  best  sons,  and  is 
the  sire  of  27  standard  performers,  including  Birch- 
twig  2:08}  and  four  more  in  the  2:15  list.  Greco  being 
by  McKinney  out  of  Alien,  dam  of  three  in  the  list,  by 
Anteeo;  second  dam  Lou  Milton,  the  dam  of  Lou 
Dillon,  one  can  see  at  a  glance  that  Mr.  De  Ryder  will 
have  a  rare  combination  of  champions  in  the  pedigree 
of  the  foal  which  will  result  from  the  mating  of 
Tacona  and  Greco.       

Mr.  A.  Neville,  of  Santa  Cruz,  writes  us  as  follows: 
"While  at  San  Jose  for  a  short  visit  I  went  to  the 
Mecca  of  all  horse  lovers,  the  track,  and  to  see  Lou 
Dillon  who  is  in  charge  of  Mr.  Budd  Doble.  By  the 
way,  Mr.  Doble's  abilities  have  never  been  written  up 
in  regard  to  fixing  up  boudoirs,  and  Lou  Dillon's  stall 
with  lace  curtains,  daintily  folded  towels,  blankets, 
and  all  accessories  presents  a  pretty  picture  of  taste 
and  finish.  The  mare  is  in  fine  fettle  having  gained 
65  pounds  since  arriving  in  California  and  her  care- 
taker provides  a  box  full  of  sweet  grass  every  day 
which  accounts  in  part  for  the  gain.  Mr.  Doble's 
horse  Kinney  Lou  is  growing  very  stout  and  strong, 
and  has  shown  a  quarter  in  29  seconds.  I  asked  Mr. 
Doble  if  Kinney  Lou  had  cocked  his  eye  at  the  stallion 
record  as  he  has  a  right  to  do  and  he  said,  'Wait 
until  1906,  if  nothing  happens.'  " 


Advices  from  Memphis, Tenn., dated  March  5,  state: 
"George  Keteham,who  campaigned  thetrotting  cham- 
pion Cresceus  at  tracks  East  and  West,  finally  de- 
throning the  former  trotting  king,  The  Abbot,  is 
through  with  the  running  branch  of  the  horse  game 
for  good,  and  is  making  an  attempt  to  trade  hlsentire 
racing  establishment  to  George  Spear,  E.E.Smathers' 
former  harness  horse  trainer,  in  exchange  for  a  soli- 
tary pacer.  Three  maidens  and  other  non-winning 
thoroughbreds  that  were  campaigned  at  Chicago 
tracks  last  summer  by  Ketcham  have  been  offered  to 
Spear  for  Sphinx  S.,  the  well  known  pacer  that  Spear 
and  Smathers  have  driven  on  the  New  York  Speed- 
way. Ketcham  says  his  running  hor6e  venture  was 
an  expensive  one.  Spear  is  considering  the  offer.  He 
is  busy  handling  Mr.  Smathers'  runners  at  present  at 
Montgomery  Park,  and  says  if  he  completes  the  deal 
he  will  take  the  Ketcham  castoffs  East  when  the 
remainder  of  the  Smathers'  stable  proceeds  in  that 
direction."

Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  Changes  Hands. 

The  famous  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  and  race  track, 
the  former  home  of  Sidney  Dillon  and  the  birth  place 
of  the  world's  champion  Lou  Dillon  1:58-1,  Dolly  Dillon 
2:06J,  Stanley  Dillon  2:07ij  and  many  other  good  ones, 
has  changed  hands.  Frank  S.  Turner,  for  over 
thirteen  years  superintendent  of  this  great  breeding 
farm  is  the  new  proprietor,  he  having  purchased  the 
29  head  of  colts,  fillies,  mares  and  stallions  left  on  the 
farm,  and  obtained  a  five  years  lease  of  the  property 
with  a  privilege  of  five  years  more.  The  price  paid 
by  Mr.  Turner  for  the  stock  was  $10,000,  a  lower  figure 
probably  than  any  other  person  could  have  obtained 
them  for.  On  the  farm  are  some  of  the  greatest  brood- 
mares in  California  and  nearly  all  have  colt1;  at  foot 
by  Sidney  Dillon  and  their  foals  of  last  year  were  by 
the  same  sire. 

Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  is  one  of  the  best  appointed 
in  the  State.  It  contains  100  acres,  has  a  splendid 
mile  track  that  is  considered  the  fastest  on  the  Coast, 
and  a  three-quarter  winter  track  which  can  be  used 
for  training  during  the  wettest  winter.  There  are  200 
box  stalls,  grand  stand  and  all  the  buildings  necessary 
to  holding  fairs  and  race  meetings,  all  in  perfect  con- 
dition and  situated  in  one  of  the  most  picturesque 
spots  in  California,  and  only  just  outside  the  city 
limits  of  Santa  Rosa,  a  thriving  town  of  ten  thousand 
inhabitants. 


Of  the  above  stallions  FranK  a.  Turner  is  the  only 
one  that  has  sired  any  foals  and  bis  oldest  are  now 
yearlings.  Of  the  others  Guy  Dillon  is  three  years 
old  and  the  other  two  are  two  years  old.  The  young 
stallions  will  be  limited  to  a  few  approved  mares  this 
year.  Frank  S.  Turner  and  Guy  Dillon's  fee  will  be 
$25  for  the  season  and  for  Judge  Dillon  and  Major 
Dillon's  services  but  $20  will  be  asked. 

Mr.  Turner,  the  new  proprietor  of  Santa  Rosa  Stock 
Farm,  is  a  horseman  of  large  experience.  He  is  a 
native  of  New  York  where  he  was  in  the  service  of 
Henry  C.  Jewett,  of  Jewett  Farm,  and  also  of  C.  J. 
Hamlin  at  Village  Farm.  He  came  to  California  a 
good  many  years  ago  and  was  employed  on  the 
Hobart  Farm  at  San  Mateo  during  the  life  of  its 
founder.  He  entered  the  employ  of  Henry  and 
Ira  Pierce  over  thirteen  years  ago  and  is  known 
as  one  of  the  most  careful  and  painstaking  of  horse- 
men. Mr.  Turner  has  managed  to  save  some  money 
during  the  time  he  has  been  employed  by  others 
and  owns  a  fe;v  pieces  of  good  real  estate  and  is  well 
able  to  handle  his  latest  venture.  That  he  will  make 
a  success  of  it  all  who  know  him  feel  certain  and  he 
will  have  the  best  wishes  of  every  person  with  whom 
he  is  acquainted.  It  is  his  intention  to  offer  a  portion 
of  the  young  stock  as  well  as  some  of  the  broodmares 
for  sale,  and  those  desiring  colts  or  fillies  by  the  great 
Sidney  Dillon  out  of  some  of  the  best  broodmares  in 
California  should  correspond  with  him  in  regard  to 
the  matter.  He  will  make  prices  right  in  every 
instance. 

The  retirement  of  Mr.  Ira  Pierce  from  the  ranks  of 
California  breeders  is  to  be  sincerely  regretted.  Mr. 
Pierce  is  a  great  lover  of  the  trotting  horse,  and  has 
bred  the  champion  trotter  of  the  world,  and  but  for 
the  untimely  death  of  his  brother  and  his  own  failing 
health,  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm's  breeding  operations 
would  have  been  greatly  enlarged  and  a  racing  stable 
sent  East  every  year.  While  Mr.  Turner  will  not  be 
able  to  carry  on  the  breeding  of  horses  on  the  large 
scale  for  which  the  Pierce  Brothers  were  noted,  he 
has  the  advantage  of  their  experience  and  will  try  to 
follow  in  the  lines  which  they  made  so  successful.  He 
will  keep  the  track  in  condition  for  training  at  all 
times,  and  will  rent  box  stalls  for  the  low  figure  of  $1 
per  month  per  stall.  It  is  his  intention  to  secure  the 
Breeders  meeting  for  Santa  Rosa  this  year  if  possible. 


Futurity  Winner  in  the  Stud. 

One  of  the  highest  class  three-year-olds  that  has 
appeared  in  California  for  several  years  was  Murray 
M.  2:14  winner  of  the  Breeders  $6000  Futurity  at  San 
Jose,  last  summer.  He  is  now  a  four-year-old  and 
has  been  placed  in  the  stud  at  Santa  Ana  and  a  short 
statement  of  his  performances  and  his  pedigree  will 
interest  breeders.  Murray  M.  started  but  twice  last 
year.  His  first  race  was  the  Futurity  above  mentioned, 
where  he  met  a  grand  field  of  young  trotters  in 
Geraldine  by  Zombro,  Carlokin  by  McKinney,  Marvin 
Wilkes  by  Don  Marvin,  Calamanca  by  McKinney  and 
True  Heart  by  Nearest.  Murray  M.  won  the  race  in 
straight  heats  in  2:19J,  2:20t  and  2:20.  His  other  start 
was  at  Santa  Rosa,  where  the  $6000  filly  Mamie  R. 
beat  him  after  four  fast  heats,  Murray  M.  winning 
the  third  heat  in  2:14,  the  fastest  heat  of  the  race  and 
being  a  close  second  in  all  the  others.  He  is  a  very 
handsome  and  highly  formed  colt  and  stood  15.3  and 
weighed  1050  pounds  in  racing  form  last  year.  He  is 
a  natural  trotter,  perfectly  gaited,  with  a  most  level 
head  and  the  best  of  dispositions. 

There  are  few  better  bred  colts  than  he  in  America. 
His  sire  is  Hambletonian  Wilkes,  one  of  the  best  and 
most  successful  of  the  sons  of  George  Wilkes  as  a  sire, 
having  three  in  the  2:10  list  and  ten  in  the  2:15  list — 
all  race  horses  with  race  records.  The  dam  of  Murray 
M.  is  the  great  broodmare  Anna  Belle  by  Dawn  2:183, 
son  of  the  great  Nutwood  600;  second  dam  the 
thoroughbred  mare  Pacheco  by  Hubbard.  Anna 
Belle  was  a  winner  of  six  stakes  in  her  yearling,  two 
and  three-year-old  forms,  and  got  a  record  of  2:27$  as 
a  three-year-old.  As  a  matron  she  has  been  a  great 
success.  She  is  the  dam  of  La  Belle  (2)  2:16,  Robert  I. 
2:08J,  Murray  M.  (3)  2:14  and  Maud  Murray,  a  mare 
that  was  sold  to  Austria  and  won  a  race  in  2:12  after 
reaching  Europe. 

Dawn  was  a  wonderfully  fast  trotter,  having  shown 
quarters  in  30  seconds  repeatedly.  His  dam  Countess 
by  Whipples  Hambletonian  was  the  dam  of  Strath- 
way  2:19  sire  of  Toggles  2:08$,  John  Caldwell  2:11}, 
and  many  other  fast  ones.  The  blood  lines  in  Murray 
M.  are  a  mixtures  of  Wilkes  and  Nutwood,  the  first 
being  the  greatest  money  winning  family,  the  other 
the  greatest  broodmare  family.  It  is  a  combination 
that  cannot  but  result  profitably  to  those  who 
patronize  it. 

History  of  Coaching  in  England. 

From  certain  records  it  iB  learned  that  coaches  were 
first  introduced  into  England  in  1580,  by  Fitzallan, 
Earl  of  Arundel,  before  which  the  customary  mode  of 
travel  was  on  horseback.  In  another  account  of 
remote  periods  it  is  said  that  in  1564,  Boone,  a  Dutch- 
man, became  Queen  Elizabeth's  coachman,  which 
would  certainly  imply  that  she  had  a  coach.  Nothing 
more  could  be  found  among  the  records  until  the 
events  of  the  year  1619  are  reached,  and  then  it  is 
learned  that  things  had  so  improved  that  Bucking- 
ham drove  a  coach  and  six. 

In  1673  stage  communication  was  started  between 
Exeter  and  Chester  and  London,  and  six  stages  were 
running.  We  learn  from  Sir  Walter  Scott  that  in 
1755  the  speed  of  the  stages  was  frequently  but  four 
miles  an  hour.  A  year  previous  to  this,  however, 
steel  springs  were  invented,  and  in  1784,  it  is  authenti- 
cally stated  that  the  average  speed  was  eight  miles 
an  hour.  In  1762  George  III  had  a  royal  stage  coach 
built  which  weighed  four  tons,  and  which  is  still  used 
upon  state  occasions,  being  drawn  by  eight  cream- 
colored  horses. 

The  mails  were  first  intrusted  to  the  coaches  in 
1784,  through  the  effort  of  Mr.  John  Palmer,  M.  P. 
for  Bath,  the  first  mail  coach  leaving  London  on  the 
8th  of  August  of  that  year  Until  1834  the  mail 
coaches  were  not  allowed  to  carry  more  than  three 
outside  passengers,  while  the  ordinary  stage  carried 
four  inside  and  fourteen  outside. 

It  was  at  this  period  that  gentlemen  began  to  take 
a  hand  in  coaching,  and  they  drove  not  only  their 
own,  but  public  coaches,  and  the  amusement,  which 
in  a  number  of  instances  combined  business  with 
pleasure,  has  been  continued  to  this  day. 

The  first  coaching  club  was  formed  in  London  in 
1807.  It  was  known  as  the  Bensington  Driving  Club, 
the  number  of  members  being  limited  to  twenty-five. 
There  were  four  meets  a  year — two  at  the  White 
Hart,  Bensington,  near  Oxford,  and  two  at  the  Black 
Dog,  Bedfont,  near  Hounslow.  Each  member  upon 
his  election  paid  ten  pounds,  and  the  members  were 
exempt  from  annual  dues.  After  the  club  had  been 
established  sixteen  years  the  meetings  were  entirely 
confined  to  Bedfont,  it  being  more  easy  of  access,  and 
it  was  from  that  place  that  the  members  dashed  home 
in  a  style  of  speed  and  splendor  equal  to  th6  spirit 
displayed  by  the  noble,  honorable  and  respective 
feudal  chiefs  of  the  sixteenth  century.  Among  those 
who  handled  the  whip  on  these  occasions  were  Sir 
Henry  Peyton,  the  gallant  Marquis  of  Worcester,  Sir 


Bellingham  Graham  and  Mr.  John  Walker,  who 
drove  the  Bognor  coach. 

The  Bensington  Driving  Club  kept  on,  and  was 
joined  in  1838  by  the  Richmond  Driving  Club,  whose 
president  was  Lord  Chesterfield.  The  meets  of  this 
club  took  place  at  Chesterfield  House  and  the  destina- 
tion of  the  club  was  Richmond.  The  latter  club  only 
had  a  short  existence,  and  the  parent  society,  the 
Bensington  Driving  Club,  was  alone  in  its  glory  until 
1852,  when  it  came  to  an  end. 

Four  years  passed,  and  then  it  occurred  to  the  late 
Mr.  William  Mossitt,  cf  roans  and  yellow  coach 
celebrity,  to  establish  the  Four-in-Hand  Driving  Club, 
of  which  the  Duke  of  Beaufort  and  the  late  Sir  Wat- 
kin  Wynn  were  charter  members.  Then  the  Coach- 
ing Club  was  formed  in  1870,  and  this  completes  the 
list  ofcluiis — past  and  present — formed  in  EnglaDd  for 
the  encouragement  of  the  art  of  driving  a  four-in- 
hand.  Many  of  the  best  coachmen  of  the  day  are  on 
the  lists  of  membership  in  these  clubs,  and  it  is  doubt- 
ful if  there  are  any  other  institutions  in  England 
where  individual  interest  is  as  prominent,  as  is  shown 
by  the  success  of  these  organizations. — Eider  and

A  Trotting  Novelty. 

Easily  the  most  remarkable  pair  of  "trotters"  in 
thecountry  are  Whirlwind  and  Black  Diamond,  owned 
by  Thomas  A.  Cockburn,  of  Arkansas.  These  trained 
ostriches  are  driven  to  a  pneumatic  speeding  wagon, 
and  under  favorable  conditions  can  do  their  half-mile 
in  1:05  or  better.  This  is  a  2:10  clip,  which  only  the 
fastest  equine  trotters  can  surpass  when  hooked  to  a 
wagon.  In  single  harness  each  of  the  birds  has  been 
pitted  against  many  noted  horses,  and  though  occas- 
ionally beaten  has  won  far  more  than  he  has  lost. 

Biack  Diamond,  the  larger,  though  not  the  faster 
of  the  birds,  stands  about  nine  feet  eight  inches  high 
and  weighs  three  hundred  pounds.  He  is  eighteen 
years  old.  Both  are  first  class  plumage  birds,  and 
they  are  valued  at  $20,000. 

Not  all  ostriches  can  be  trained  to  race.  Mr.  Cock- 
burn,  who  owns  an  ostrich  farm,  tries  out  thirteen  or 
fourteen  young  birds  each  year,  and  considers  him- 
self lucky  to  find  one  among  them  that  has  the  racing 
instinct.  Whirlwind  has  this  instinct  developed  to  a 
remarkable  extent,  and  will  struggle  like  a  thorough- 
bred to  win  a  race  when  pitted  against  a  horse.  He 
was  broken  to  harness  two  years  ago,  and  is  at  once 
the  fastest  and   best  trained   bird  in  the  country. —

Free  Service  to  a  Good  Stallion. 


D.  S.  Mathews,  of  Ryde,  on  the  Sacramento  river, 
offers  free  service  to  his  stallion,  Edward  B  by  Stam 
B.,  first  dam  by  Dexter  Prince,  second  dam  by  Par- 
ker's Elect.  Edward  B.  is  coming  four  years  old,  is  a 
handsome  blood  bay  in  color,  stands  16.1  hands  high 
and  weighs  1150  pounds.  He  has  extraordinarily 
good  feet  and  legs.  The  condition  for  free  service  is 
that  the  owner  of  the  mare  will  agree  to  enter  the 
foal  in  the  California  coltstakes.  Excellentpasturage 
and  good  care  taken  of  mares.  For  further  particu-

There  will  be  no  meeting  at  Salem  this  year.  The

Board  of  Agriculture  did  not  think  it  advisable  to 
attempt  giving  a  race  meeting  without  it.  Many 
repairs  to  buildings  and  grounds  will  be  made  during 
the  year,  however,  and  a  regular  boom  fair  and  race 
meeting  held  in  1906.  It  looks  as  if  the  Lewis&  Clark 
Exposition  at  Portland  this  year  will  be  the  only  big 
attraction  in  the  northwest.

CRIPPEN'S    CHRONICLES.  |1 

In  the  spring  cf  1903  Mr.  O.  B.  Garrison  of  Oakland 
came  over  to  Pleasanton  to  select  a  sire  to  breed  his 
two  mares  to.  Before  he  left  that  day  he  became  con- 
vinced that  the  great  Searchlight  was  the  only  horse 
in  California  and  booked  a  mare  by  MeKinney, 
dam  by  California  Nutwood  and  her  three-year-old 
daughter  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  to  him.  A  few  days 
ater  he  shipped  those  two  and  a  two-yea' -old  filly  by 
the  ex-champion  yearling  Athadon  2:27  to  Pleasanton. 
He  brought  the  two-year-old  along  that  she  might 
be  turned  out  on  pasture  with  the  other  when  we 
were  through  breeding  them  and  thereby  have  them 
all  together. 

Mr.  Garrison  accompanied  them  and  in  talking  to 
me  enthused  quite  a  little  over  the  Athadon  filly  as 
a  good  trotting  prospect.  "I'll  tell  you,  young  man, 
she's  a  trotter,  and  don't  you  forget  it,"  he  said  to 
me.  She  was  a  large,  good-looking  filly  but  Mr. 
Garrison  failed  to  interest  me  in  her  as  she  was  too 
young  and  I  did  not  see  her  move.  He  had  been 
driving  her  himself  about  Oakland  and  when  she 
came  to  Pleasanton  was  shod.  I  pulled  off  her  shoes, 
rounded  up  her  feet  and  sent  her  out  to  pasture  the 
nest  day  where  the  others  followed  as  soon  as  they 
were  safely  in  foal.  August  1st,  Mr.  Garrieon  came 
and  took  them  all  home,  and  I  heard  no  more  of  them 
except  that  in  due  time  both  mares  had  foals  by  the 
great  son  of  Darknight  and  Nora  Mapes.  I  will  here 
mention  that  the  MeKinney  mare  had  a  very  fine 
colt  by  her  side  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  a;  the  time. 


probably  the  last.  In  one  respect  the  laugh  is  already 
on  me  as  I  did  not  recognize  this  filly  is  the  one  I  saw 
in  Pleasanton  two  years  ago  till  after  I  had  obtained 
an  option  on  her  and  learned  her  breeder's  name. 


One  day  early  in  January  of  the  present  year  I  was 
in  a  real  estate  office  in  Mayfield,  sitting  near  the 
window,  when  I  saw  something  on  the  street  that 
caused  me  to  jump  to  my  feet  and  rush  to  the  door 
The  thing  I  saw  was  a  good-lookiDg  brown  mare 
swinging  along  at  about  a  four  minute  gait  hitched 
to  a  buggy  carrying  a  single  occupant.  Nothing  very 
startling  was  it?  No,  but  to  me  there  was  something 
yery  impressive  about  the  way  that  mare  handled 
herself.  When  I  re-entered  the  office,  in  reply  to  the 
question,  "What's  the  matter?"  asked  by  my  friend 
Detrick,  I  said,  "there  goes  a  trot'er,  I  wonder  what 
she  is  and  where  she  is"  owned."  The  next  three 
weeks  were  spent  in  trying  to  find  her  and  I  at  last 
located  her  on  a  fruit  ranch  situated  about  midway 
between  Mayfield  and  Mountain  View,  recently  pur- 
chased by  the  well-known  attorney  and  ex-judge  W. 
Lair  Hill  ofX)akland.  A  part  of  Mr.  Hill's  family 
were  residing  on  the  place  but  the  owner  was  in 
Oregon  on  a  business  trip  so  I  could  learn  nothing 
about  the  mare  except  that  she  was  coming  four- 
years  old  and  well  bred.  Upon  close  inspection  I 
iked  her  very  much,  found  her  to  be  about  16  hands 
weight  1150,  strong  and  well  made  with  great  bone 
and  substance  and  perfect  feet  and  legs.  They  told 
me  that  she  was  for  sale  if  they  could  get  their  price, 
which  was  a  pretty  stiff  one,  but  one  which  I  did  not 
consider  too  much  provided  she  was  bred  right. 
However,  nothing  could  be  done  till  Mr.  Hill  came 
back  from  the  webfoot  country  Atlast  tbegentleman 
eturned  and  I  met  him.  When  he  told  me  the  mare 
was  by  Athadon,  dam  by  MeKinney,  I  was  surprised. 
I  had  not  the  smallest  hope  of  learning  that  the  mare 
that  had  struck  my  fancy  would  prove  to  be  so  well 
bred  and  instantly  resolved  to  possess  her.  Mr.  Hil 
was  in  a  hurry  and  I  saw  him  for  less  than  five 
minutes  but  obtained  an  option  on  the  mare  for  one 
week  with  the  result  that  I  purchased  her  for  a  friend 
who  is  travelling  "incognito,"  March  1st.  She  joined 
"Jack"  Phippan'a  stable  at  San  Jose  and  unless  I 
should  later  decide  to  open  a  stable  myself  will  remain 
in  his  hands  till  she  proves  what  I  predict  of  her,  viz: 
that  she  is  the  best  undeveloped  trotting  prospect  in 
California. 

This  little  story  may  not  at  this  time  be  of  much 
interest  to  the  readers  of  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man but  some  day  every  admirer  of  the  trotter  will 
be  eager  to  know  the  history  of  Mollie  McK  and  I  am 
giving  it  to  them  in  advance  as  I  may  not  be  here 
when  she  becomes  known  to  fame.  She  is  now  receiv- 
ing her  first  track  work  and  started  out,  March  4th, 
with  a  quarter  in  45  Beconds.  Sired  by  Athadon  the 
first  yearling  colt  to  trot  as  fast  as  2:27,  a  more  credit- 
able performance  tban  Abdell's  2:23  as  the  former 
went  to  high  wheels  and  the  latter  to  bike.  Athadon's 
sire  was  by  the  mighty  Onward  who  has  to  his  credit 
more  2:30  performers  than  any  other  sire  living  or 
dead  and  ten  in  the  2:10  list;  his  dam  is  the  great 
broodmare  Atbalie  dam  of  Athanio  2:10,  five  in  2:20 
and  sevc  n  in  2:30  and  she  by  a  son  of  the  great  Strath- 
more.  Mollie  McK's  dam  by  the  champion  sire  Me- 
Kinney, second  dam  by  California  Nutwood.  If  I 
ide  a  mistake  in  picking  this  four-year-old  filly 
i  cracker-jack  it   wont  be  the  first  time  nor 


I  have  read  a  great  deal  lately  about  the  "best  bred 
colt"  and  the  best  bred  MeKinney,  etc.  One  man 
claims  to  have  the  best  bred  one,  as  his  first  to 
seventh  dams  are  sired  by  the  most  popular  trotting 
sires  in  the  book.  He  is  a  great  bred  one  and  his 
blood  lines  are  the  greatest  on  earth  but  there  is  a 
dearth  of  performing  and  producing  dams  in  hiB 
maternal  line.  None  of  the  seven  dams  have  a  record, 
one  has  a  trial  of  2:24,  three  of  the  seven  have  pro- 
duced one  or  two  trotters  each  with  show  records. 
In  my  opinion  the  best  bred  colt  is  the  one  that  comes 
from  the  greatest  line  of  performing  and  producing 
dams  and  I  consider  that  Mr.  C.  A.  Durfee  has  the 
best  bred  son  of  MeKinney  or  earth  in  his  EUle  colt 
Galindo,  but  I  don't  like  his  name  and  I  am  goirjg  to 
tell  Mr.  Durfee  that  I  believe  his  colt  is  great  enough 
to  have  a  great  name;  a  name  suggestive  of  greatness 
and  also  of  bis  breeding  as  well  as  a  euphonous  name. 
The  great  name  I  would  give  his  great  colt  destined 
to  become  a  great  trotter  and  a  great  sire  of  trotters 
is  "Green  Mountain  MeKinney."  Of  all  the  great 
broodmares  old  Green  Mountain  Maid  is  the  greatest. 
She  gave  to  the  world  the  incomparable  Electioneer 
and  Elaine  2:30,  champion  three  and  four  year-old 
trotter  of  her  day;  nine  2:30  trotters  and  to  the~ 
ordinary  sire  Messenger  Duroc  eight,  or  more  than 
one-tbird  of  all  his  performers.  Four  of  her  sons  are 
sires  of  speed  and  five  of  her  daughters  producer?. 
Her  daughter  Elaine  is  a  greater  broodmare  than  she 
appears  to  be  at  first  sight.  Her  first  foal  is  Elsie  a 
great  broodmare  and  dam  of  Mr.  Durfee's  colt;  she 
had  only  six  other  foals  that  lived  and  five  of  them 
by  four  different  sires  have  records  from  2:12J  to  2:31  J, 
the  last  being  the  most  creditable  of  all  as  it  was 
made  by  the  yearling  filly  Norlaine,  world's  record  at 
the  time.  Elsie  has  proven  herself  to  be  a  great  pro- 
ducer of  early  and  extreme  sgeed  and  her  five  per- 
formers are  by  four  different  sires.  There  is  but  one 
other  line  of  three  generations  of  broodmares  that 
excel  Elsie,  Elaine  and  Green  Mountain  Maid  in  num- 
bers of  performers  and  that  is  Rosemont,  Beautiful 
Bells  and  Minnehaha.  The  former  has  19  (counting 
Norlaine  one  year  2:3H)  and  the  later  22,  and  14  of  the 
22  carry  the  blood  of  the  great  old  matron  Green 
Mountain  Maid.  The  blood  of  that  great  mare  has 
made  many  other  mares  great  broodmares.  Many 
mares  have  produced  trotters  by  Electioneer  and 
when  bred  to  other  sires  their  produce  couldn't  trot 
fast  enough  to  get  warm.  It  was  the  blood  of  the 
daughter  of  Shanghai  Mary  that  did  it.  No  other  of 
the  many  sons  of  old  Hambletonian  sired  as  many 
trotters  as  Electioneer,  it  was  the  blood  of  old  Green 
Mountain  Maid  that  did  it.  No  other  sire  ever  got  as 
much  early  trotting  speed  and  no  other  sire  ever  got 
as  many  world  champions  as  the  "Hero  of  Palo  Alto  " 
It  was  the  blood  of  the  famous  mare  that  lieB  beneath 
the  monument  erected  to  her  memory  at  Stony  Ford 
that  did  it.  In  honor  of  his  great  grand  am  I  would 
name  Elsie's  son  "Green  Mountain  MeKinney." 


I  am  glad  to  hear  that  Mannie  Reams  has  sold  his 
great  trotting  filly  Mamie  R.  All  parties  concerned 
are  to  be  congratulated:  Mr.  Reams  upon  obtaining 
a  fair  price  for  the  filly,  which  price,  while  only  a 
trifle  for  a  millionaire,  is  too  much  money  for  a  poor 
man  to  have  tied  up  in  one  horse,  and  is  sufficient  to 
put  Mr.  Reams  on  the  sunny  side  of  easy  street  and 
keep  him  there  if  he  is  careful  with  it;  Mr.  Butler 
upon  becoming  the  owner  of  one  of  the  best  if  not  the 
very  best  trotter  he  ever  owned;  and  Charley  De 
Ryder  upon  becoming  the  trainer  and  driver  of  one 
of  the  most  perfect,  truest  and  gamest  trotters  that 
ever  stepped  upon  a  race  track;  one  of  the  most  per- 
fectly balanced,  physically  and  mentally,  as  well  as 
one  of  the  best  mannered  trotters  ever  foaled.  Don't 
tear  her  to  pieces  this  year,  Charley,  and  as  a  five- 
year-old  she  will  be  another  Sweet  Marie. 

Mr.  De  Ryder  bas  another  of  my  favorites  in  his 
stable  in  the  five-year-old  gelding  he  purchased  from 
Barney  Simpson,  by  Don  Derby  2:04J,  dam  Cyrene 
2:27  by  Guide  2:16J  by  Director  2:17.  This  fellow,  to 
my  notion,  is  the  only  real  pacer  trained  at  the  Pleas- 
anton track  last  year.  There  are  others  that  have 
shown  more  speed  for  a  brush,  but  none  that  possess 
in  bo  marked  a  degree  all  the  qualities  that  go  to 
make  up  a  fast  and  high  class  paclrig  race  horse.  For 
the  benefit  of  certain  "smart  horsemen"  who  know 
less  than  they  think  they  do  (and  when  they  read 
this  they  will  know  whom  I  mean'i,  I  hope  this  3on  of 
Don  Derby  will  beat  2:00.

Swift  B.  2:16  1-4  Sold  for  $9000. 

Denver,  Colo.,  March  10,  1905. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman:— Please  find  enclosed 
check  for  my  subscription.  My  address  hereafter 
will  be  237  Logan  ave  ,  Denver,  Colo.  It  might  be  of 
interest  to  some  people  in  California  to  know  that  I 
have  sold  the  good  son  of  Stam  B  ,  Swift  B.  to  Lon 
McDonald  of  Port  Henry,  New  York,  for  $9000.  He 
came  here  for  him  and  yesterday  shipped  him  by 
express  to  New  York  He  will  be  prepared  for  the 
big  stakes  on  the  grand  circuit  at  Readville,  Mass. 

This  horse  is  a  greater  trotter  than  is  indicated  by 
the  summary  of  his  last  year's  races.  After  trotting 
many  heats  in  races  around  2:10  to  2:12,  he  was  taken 
sick  after  a  race  in  the  mud  at  Hamline  and  came  near 
dying.  Five  weeks  later  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  he  won 
second  money  in  the  2:17  class  in  a  field  of  sixteen 
horses  being  3-2-3  in  2:lli,  2:10,  2:09£.  In  the  second 
heat  he  led  from  the  first  turn,  trotted  the  first  I  in 


one  and  must  be  a  good  individual. 

I  have  Getaway  by  Strathway  dam  by  Dexter 
Prince,  now  six  years  old,  who  last  year  trotted  a  mile 
in  a  field  of  eighteen  horses  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  in 
2:104  the  fourth  heat;  his  mark  is  2:24J.  He  has 
wintered  better  that  ever  before  and  will  surely  be 
another  2:10  performer  for  his  good  sire  Strathway. 
I  have  a  stable  of  eight  all  together,  all  green  but 
Oregon  Maid  2:08J  and  Getaway.  The  outlook  is  good 
for  a  big  June  meeting  and  we  would  like  to  see 
California  well  represented. 

Yours  truly,

Santa  Ana  Track  a  Busy  Place. 

Geo.  W.  Ford,  owner  of  that  fast  trotting  stallion 
and  2:10  sire,  Neernut  2:12J,  writes  us  that  there  are 
about  forty  horses  in  training  at  his  Santa  Ana  track 
and  the  people  there  are  much  interested  in  the  light 
horness  horse.  Last  year  51  mares  were  bred  to 
Neernut  and  from  the  number  of  new  mares  already 
booked  Mr.  Ford  expects  the  stallion  will  be  patronized 
to  an  even  greater  extent  this  year.  Mart  Collins, 
who  was  care  taker  for  the  great  MeKinney  2:11  J  for 
so  many  years,  i6  now  looking  after  Neernut,  training 
a  few  of  his  colts  and  superintending  the  track.  Mr. 
Ford  says  he  is  the  best  track  man  and  the  best  trainer 
he  has  ever  employed.  The  track  is  like  a  billiard 
table  and  the  colts  are  making  speed  all  the  time  and 
keeping  in  fine  shape  and  condition.  It  is  Mr.  Ford 's 
belief  that  a  three  or  four  days  race  meeting  under 
good  management  at  Santa  Ana  this  year  would  draw 
ten  thousand  people  to  see  the  races. 


Free  Service  to  a  High  Class  Stallion. 

Six  high    class  mares  will  be  given  free  Bervice  to

THOROUGHBREDS.  || 

As  matters  stand  at  present,  racing  in  Missouri  and 
Illinois  have,  through  adverse  legislation,  been 
placed  under  the  heading  of  "Obsolete  Sports."  Last 
Wednesday  the  lower  house  of  the  Missouri  Legisla- 
ture refused  to  concur  in  the  Senate  amendment  to 
the  bill  prohibiting  bookmaking  and  pool-selling,  by 
which  gambling  on  horse-racing  was  reduced  from  a 
felony  to  a  high  misdemeanor.  I  take  this  to  mean 
that  the  old  law  (making  it  a  felony  to  make  a  book 
or  sell  pools  on  horse  races)  will  prevail.  In  Illinois 
the  Berry  hill  (which  will  kill  all  racing  within  the 
confines  of  the  sucker  state)  has  passed  the  Senate 
unanimously.  Under  the  terms  of  this  measure  it  will 
be  next  to  impossible  for  any  sheriff  to  suffer  race 
tracks  to  run,  if  betting  in  any  form  be  allowed,  for 
that  official  will  be  fined  $5000  every  time  any  five 
reputable  citizens  of  the  county  point  out  the  fact 
that  the  law  is  being  violated.  It  is  claimed  Corrigan, 
Condon  and  the  Wagner  Brothers  will  make  a  desper- 
ate resistance  to  the  closing  of  Hawthorne,  Harlem 
and  Worth  under  the  provisions  of  the  Berry  bill. 


least  three  seconds  slow  to  the  mile.  The  Staufield- 
Ellis  colt  cost  $1000  at  auction,  as  a  yearling,  if 
memory  serves,  and  his  breeder,  Charles  Kerr  of 
Bakersfield,  predicted  a  brilliant  turf  career  for  him 
at  that  time  and  was  not  at  all  elated  to  sell  the  colt 
at  that  figure.  As  matters  look  now,  it  will  not  take 
much  improvement  for  Barr  to  give  Sir  Wilfred  quite 
an  argument,  should  they  meet  before  the  meeting 
closes  here.  The  Kismets  are  nearly  all  fine  lookers, 
and  Mr.  Kerr  has  at  last  secured  a  worthy  successor 
to  the  good  Apache.  Kismet  is  a  son  of  the  Derby  and 
St.  Leger  winner  Melton,  which  was  sold  to  Italy 
after  he  had  made  a  few  seasons  in  England.  Then 
the  Meltons  made  such  a  wonderfnl  showing  in  the 
land  of  John  Bull  that  the  horse  was  repurchased  at 
something  like  $70,000,  and  taken  back  to  his  old 
home. 

Five  of  the  six  winners  on  Wednesday  last  were 
bred  in  California,  and  all  are  by  different  sires,  they 
being  F.  W.  Barr  by  Kismet;  Emma  Renbold  by 
Hamilton  II;  Nigrette  by  Midlothian;  Hainault  by  St. 
Carlo  and  Cloudlight  by  Bright  Phoebus-Lovelight. 
On  the  last-named  an  immense  "killing"  was  made  by 
Molero  &  Joseph,  the  owners,  and  their  friends.  Barr 
was  bred  in  Kern  county,  Emma  Renbold  in  Sclano 
county,  Hainault  and  Cloudlight  in  San  Mateo  county. 


Looking  over  the  situation,  I  am  under  the  impres- 
sion  that  the  principal  racing  ground  in  the  Middle 
West  will  now  be  Indiana,  in  the  vicinity  of  Ham- 
mond, where  John  Condon  has  secured  one  or  more 
racing  plants  and  is  prepared  to  do  business  from 
April  loth  to  November  15th — this  season,  at  least — 
for  the  Hoosier  legislators  will,  in  all  liklihood,  soon 
tire  of  the  bickerings  of  the  "magnates  '  and  pass 
laws  to  kill  betting  in  the  land  of  James  Whitcomb 
Riley.  Then  the  lone  place  in  the  Middle  West  where 
racing  can  be  conducted  at  a  profit  to  track  owners 
will  be  Latonia,  in  Kentucky,  opposite  Cincinnati. 
W.  Ed  Applegate,  of  Louisville,  has  just  won  the  case 
against  Judge  George  Perkins,  which  was  taken  to 
the  Supreme  Court  at  Frankfort,  and  the  course  and 
plant  will  within  the  next  ninety  days  pass  into  the 
hands  of  the  big  bookmaker  that  used  to  be  quite  a 
figure  in  the  distilling  business  of  the  grand  old  Com- 
monwealth. However,  owing  to  the  decree  not  going 
into  immediate  effect,  the  spring  meeting  will  be  run 
under  the  management  of  Messrs.  Perkins  and  Hop- 
per, and  after  that  it  will  pass  into  the  Corrigan  fold— 
into  the  American  Turf  Association,  so  recently  in- 
stituted.   

I  see  where  T.  H.  Williams,  Adam  Andrew  and 
other  turf  magnates  are  interested  in  slaughter- 
houses near  the  City  of  Mexico,  and  that  President 
Diaz  visited  the  plant  the  other  day  and  was  much 
pleased.  These  gentlemen  have  seen  much  financial 
"slaughtering  of  the  innocents"  hereabouts  in  the 
past  thirteen  or  fourteen  year9,  therefore  the 
Biaughter-house  business  is  not  altogether  new  to 
them.  Being  first  on  the  ground,  they  might  form  a 
meat  trust  in  Mexico  and  keep  Armour  and  the  rest 
from  grabbing  off  the  entire  trade  of  the  world.  The 
Paoific  Jockey  Club  is  patterned  not  a  little  on  "trust 
lines,"  and  by  "standing  in"  will  prove  a  mighty 
costly  proposition  when  the  Coast  magnates  com- 
mence to  count  their  good  horses  to  compete  here 
next  winter.  They  will  be  conspicuous  by  their  ab- 
sence, for  up-to  date  Corrigan  has  had  five  owners  go 
over  to  his  side  to  one  on  the  Condon  end. 


One  of  the  new  laws  of  the  American  Turf  Asso- 
ciation is  to  have  one  set  of  official  timers  for  the 
whole  circuit.  It  is  claimed  that  too  much  chicanery 
has  been  prevalent  in  this  department,  which  is 
Indeed  a  most  important  one.  George  Lindenberger 
an  old  trotting  horse  man  of  Louisville,  was  the  first 
appointee  on  the  timers'  staff.  Galen  Brown  will  also 
be  appointed, and  has  shipped  the  horses  in  his  charge 
at  Emeryville  to  City  Park  track  (Corrigan'6),  New 
Orleans,  along  with  those  of  M.  J.  Daly  and  Billy 
Cotton.  Daly  is  sending  Claude,  Elliott  and  other 
good  ones.  Brown  was  training  St.  Denis  and  Ramona. 
Johnny  Daly,  long  under  suspension  at  the  far  East 
for  rough-riding,  will  be  allowed  to  ride  at  City  Park. 
As  he  understands  Claude  perfectly,  it  will  bequite  an 
acquisition  to  the  new  governing  turf  body.  W.  S. 
Price  early  this  spring  shipped  his  very  good,  select 
string  to  Bennings.  It  includes  Schoolmate,  Arabo 
and  Padua,  all  capable  of  running  a  miie  better  than 
1:40,  while  Schoolmate  prefers  a  very  long  journey. 


A  colt  that  improves  with  every  race  is  F.  W.  Barr, 
a  fine  looking  big  bay  fellow  in  the  string  of  Stanfield 
&  Ellis  by  imp.  Kismet  from  Jennie  K.,  by  imp.  Sir 
Modred  (dam  of  James  F.,  an  extra  fine  performer). 
Barr  took  up  110  lbs.  last  Wednesday  and  simply 
galloped  four  and  one-half  furlongs  in  0:56  flat  through 
the  slop.  Beyond  a  doubt,  if  forced  out,  he  could 
have  run  the  distance  close  to  0:554  over  a  track  at 


Dr.  Leggo  finished  a  poor  sort  of  third  to  Nigrette 
and  Gold  Enamel  last  Wednesday,  and  his  showing 
can  be  laid  at  thedoorof  poor  handling,  Had  Bonner 
been  astride  the  game  bay  colt  there  would  have  been 
a  different  tale  to  tell.  Big  Beach,  which  had  beaten 
Gold  Enamel  a  length  at  a  mile  two  days  previously 
and  given  the  Miller  colt  two  pounds,  was  on  Wednes- 
day beaten  eight  lengths  by  Gold  Enamel,  the  track 
being  sloppy  on  both  occasions  and  the  distanee  run 
identical.     Verily  such  racing  is  fierce. 


The  accession  of  Latonia  by  the  Corriganites  is 
causing  not  a  little  worry  to  the  Condonites  and  the 
newB  of  the  court's  decision  last  Wednesday  caused  a 
decided  sensation  in  Middle  Western  turf  circles. 
Corrigan  claims  to  have  several  new  blows  which  he 
will  introduce  on  the  Western  Jockey  Club — that  this 
decision  is  just  a  fore  runner  of  what  is  to  follow. 
Meantime  the  war  at  New  Orleans  goes  merrily  on, 
with  seven  and  eight  races  per  day  at  each  track,  big 
losses  for  the  track  owners  and  corresponding  profit 
by  the  owners  of  gallopers.  By  the  way,  the  R.  T. 
A.  has  decided  upon  having  six  crosses  of  uneontami- 
nated  running  blood  to  constitute  a  thoroughbred 
horse,  instead  of  five,  the  rule  of  The  Jockey  Club  and 
W.  J.  C.  ^____ 

W.  J.  Halpin,  who  has  bred  quite  a  number  of 
thoroughbred  horses  by  El  Rayo  in  the  past  few 
years  at  Papinta  Stock  Farm,  died  very  suddenly  of 
heart  failure,  last  Saturday.  Mr.  Halpin,  the  husband 
of  Papinta,  the  great  dancer,  was  a  noted  athlete  in 
his  day,  and  seemingly  being  in  the  very  best  of 
health,  his  death  came  as  a  most  painful  piece  of  news 
to  his  many  friends,  He  had  lost  his  mother  and  a 
sister  a  few  weeks  ago,  so  there  has  been  great  grief 
in  the  family.  Papinta  was  filling  a  three  weeks( 
engagement  at  the  time  of  her  husband's  death  and 
hurried  across  the  continent  to  be  at  the  funeral.

The  Danger  of  Glanders. 


A  most  valuable  address  on  "Glanders—Its  Nature, 
Distribution  and  Prevention, "  was  delivered  by  Dr. 
Paul  Fischer,  Ohio  state  vetnrinarian,  before  the  Ohio 
Live  Stock  Association.  He  classed  this  as  the  most 
dangerous  disease  of  the  horse,  kncwn  for  centuries 
before  Christ.  This  disease  is  a  bacterial  one,  or  germ, 
and  infects  all  animals,  including  man,  excepting  the 
ox  and  fowl.  It  usually  occurs  with  humans  that 
have  handled  glandered  horses.  Hostlers  have  it  more 
than  other  people,  and  in  Germany  of  a  list  of  1000 
who  died  of  it  129  were  hostlers.  The  disease  is  very 
common  and  has  a  very  great  economic  bearing  on 
horse-flesh.  In  Massachusetts,  with  one-fifth  the 
horses  of  Ohio,  2250  were  condemned  during  three 
recent  years,  valued  at  $200,000. 

Glanders  is  also  known  as  farcy,  and  is  detected  by 
injecting  Malein  into  suspicious  cases,  an  increase  of 
temperature  showing  prevalence  of  glanders.  A  most 
dangerous  feature  of  the  disease  is  its  insidiouB  char- 
acter. A  horse  may  look  sound,  yet  be  very  danger- 
ous. In  Denmark  seventeen  cases  were  found  in  ore 
year,  in  spite  of  rigid  Inspection  covering  many  years, 
while  in  Massachusetts  during  the  same  year  737  cases 
were  reported — this  is  a  state  where  attempted  con- 
trol is  more  recent.  In  Germany  during  the  Franco- 
Prussian  war  glanders  existed  in  906  horses  out  of 
every  100,000,  and  doubled  afterthe  war  in  prevalence. 

Glanders  occurs  generally  over  the  United  States. 
It  became  very  prevalent  during  the  Civil  War,  and 
is  most  common   among  range  horses  today  in  the 


West.  It  occurs  in  both  an  acute  and  chronic  form, 
the  former  ending  with  death  in  a  few  weeks,  the 
latter  covering  months  and  even  years.  Animals  may 
appear  healthy,  yet  be  badly  diseased.  With  both 
forms  of  disease  the  lungs  are  the  principal  seat  of  the 
malady,  and  they  may  be  affected  before  any  outward 
sign  of  the  disease.  Later  the  glands  of  the  jaw  en- 
large and  the  membrane  of  the  nostrils  become9 
affected  and  a  discharge  is  commonly  thrown  off.  All 
cases  of  chronic  discharge  are  suspicious.  Small 
ulcers  or  boils  will  appear  under  and  on  the  skin  also. 
This  form  is  known  as  farcy.  These  ulcers  often  de- 
velop into  bad  sores  on  the  body  and  hind  limbs. 

The  disease  is  spread  by  nasal  secretions  on  the 
woodwork  of  the  stable,  on  posts,  water  troughs,  etc. 
When  on  wood  will  dry  and  as  dust  be  taken  into  the 
lungs  and  the  disease  generated.  Humans  become  in- 
oculated through  wounds  on  hands  generally.  The 
germs  live  three  to  four  months. 

This  disease  i3  incurable  and  should  not  be  treated. 
It  is  commonly  subject  to  state  supervision,  and  all 
cases  are  promptly  killed,  servicable  horses  being 
made  good  by  financial  recompense  fiom  the  state. 
All  suspicious  cases  should  be  reported  to  the  state 
veterinarian. 

Death  ot  Robert  J.  2:01  1-2. 

Robert  J.  2:01J,  the  greatest  pacing  gelding  ever 
bred,  died  Thursday,  March  2.  It  may  be  that  the 
friends  of  Prince  Alert,  who  holds  the  world's  record 
for  pacing  geldings,  will  take  offense  at  the  term 
greatest  when  applied  to  the  dead  champion  writes 
Grattan  in  Kentucky  Stock.  Farm.  But  Prince  Alert 
wears  hopples,  and  while  I  concede  his  great  merit,  I 
do  not  think  him  the  equal  of  the  unsexed  son  of 
Hartford  and  Geraldine.  Be  that  as  it  may,  since 
1895,  when  Robert  J.  set  the  world's  pacing  record  at 
2:01  J,  there  has  been  no  pacing  gelding  that  has  done 
as  much  as  he,  or  that  has  been  so  consistent  a  per- 
former. A  brief  capitulation  of  his  career  on  the  turf 
is  as  follows: 

He  started  in  49  races,  of  which  he  won  32,  was  11 
times  second,  5  times  third,  and  but  once  unplaced. 

He  Btarted  in  164  heats  in  races,  of  which  he  won 
102, 

He  won  93  heats  in  2:20  or  better. 

He  won  70  heats  in  2:10  or  better. 

He  won  35  heats  in  2:06  or  better. 

He  won    9  heats  in  2:04  or  better. 

He  paced  fourteen  heats  against  time,  the  slowest 
2:06|  (in  mud),  the  fastest  2:01J. 

He  paced,  in  races  and  against  time,  84  heats  in  2:10 
or  better,  48  in  2:06  or  better,  19  in  2:04  or  better. 

His  total  heats  in  standard  time,  102. 

He  held  the  following  world's  records,  at  the  time 
they  were  made:  Fastest  first  heat,  2:03£,  in  1896; 
fastest  second  heat,  2:02$,  in  1894;  fastest  third  heat 
2:02|,  in  1894;  fastest  fifth  heat,  2:07J,  in  1894. 

His  winnings,  in  races,  amounted  to  $50,000. 

That  is  certainly  a  remarkable  showing,  and  I  feel 
confident  that  if  anyone  sets  the  career  of  any  other 
pacing  gelding  against  it  he  will  surely  discover  that 
the  comparison  leaves  Robert  J.  far  and  away  in  the 
lead.  He  was  raced,  but  not  bred,  by  Village  Farm, 
and  Geers  drove  him.  His  manners,  speed  and  game- 
ness  made  him  the  idol  of  race  goers  in  every  section 
of  the  United  States.  He  met  such  warriors  as  Joe 
Patchen,  John  R  Gentry,  Flying  Jib  and  "ithers  0' 
that  ilk,"  which  renders  all  the  more  glorious  the 
cold  type,  condensed  history  set  forth  above.  And  it 
might  be  remarked,  in  passing,  that  but  for  Robert 
J.  his  sire  Hartford,  one  of  the  stoutest-bred  sons  of 
Harold,  would  have  never  been  known  to  real  fame. 
But  to  have  sired  such  a  race  horse  is  glory  enough. 
The  last  days  of  Robert  J.  were  passed  in  ease  and 
comfort,  so  I  am  informed,  and  I  hope  the  informa- 
tion is  correct,  lor  the  faithful  gelding  certainly  earned 
the  right  to  the  best  the  land  affords  the  horse. 

The  Clark  Cup. 

Secretary  Pace,  of  the  Montana  State  Fair,  has 
received  a  letter  from  W.  A.  Clark,  Jr.,  which  con- 
tains the  information  that  he  will  offer  at  the  State

Game  and  Fish  Bills. 


We  give  below  the  two  bills  that  were  sent  to  Gov- 
ernor Pardee  to  be  signed.  That  these  bills  will  re- 
ceive the  Governor's  signature  and  become  laws  is 
believed  by  those  acquainted  with  the  situation. 
These  bills  are  the  result  of  a  consolidation  of  interests 
and  effort  and  practically  embrace  all  the  needed  and 
essential  features  contained  in  some  forty  fish  and 
game  bills,  altogether,  that  were  introduced  during 
the  past  legislative  session.  A  perusal  of  these  bills 
shows  much  good  that  will  result  when  they  are 
finally  incorporated  on  the  statute  book.  Further 
review  and  explanation  of  changes  in  and  additions 
to  the  fish  and  game  laws  will  appear  in  a  later  issue.

California  Anglers'  Club. 

The  formal  opening  of  club  rooms  for  the  recently 
organized  California  Anglers'  Club,  last  evening,  was 
a  pleasant  re-union  of  congenial  spirits  and  fraters  of 
the  brookside.  The  new  headquarters  -jre  a  hand- 
somely furnished  suite  in  the  fifth  story  of  the 
Callaghan  Building,  Market  and  McAllister  streets, 
and  will  be,  no  doubt,  a  popular  resort  of  the  club 
members.  Interest  in  the  club  is  gaining  daily  among 
fishermen  and  the  membership  roll  is  increasing.  We 
venture  to  prophesy  that  the  club  rooms  will,  ere 
long,  be  found  not  adequate,  and  the  executive  com- 
mittee will  have  to  take  advantage  of  the  offer  made 
to  give  the  club  adjoining  rooms  when  desired. 

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  California  Wing  Club  initial  live  bird  club 
shoot  for  1905  is  the  card  for  Ingleside  tomorrow.

A  number  of  Millwood  Gun  Club  members  were  at

ber of  practice  events  despite  the  rain  and  wind 
prevailing.

The  dates  set  for  the  eighth  annual  Kimball  and 
Upson  tournament  for  Northern  California  shooters 
to  come  off  at  Agricultural  Park,  Sacramento,  are 
May  12th,  13th  and  14th.  Friday,  the  first  day,  will 
be  devoted  to  live  bird  shooting.  Two  of  the  princi- 
pal events  are  the  individual  championship  for 
Northern  California  and  the  Fay  medal  contest.  The 
medal  event  is  one  that  has  been  keenly  contested 
by  wing  shots  for  over  a  decade.  The  regular  blue 
rock  shooting  events.  Saturday  and  Sunday,  will  be 
class  shooting — three  classes,  expert,  first  and  second, 
16  yards  rise.  Several  trophy  and  team  events  are 
on  the  program,  a  more  extended  notice  of  which  will 
appear  in  a  later  issue. 


Good  news  to  devotees  of  the  sport  is  the  announce- 
ment that  an  open  to  all  "old  time"  blue  rock  shoot 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Lincoln  Gun  Club  will  take 
plaee  at  Ingleside  on  Sunday  April  23d.  The  shoot 
will  be  under  the  management  of  Edgar  J.  Forster, 
this  is  a  guarantee  that  the  affair  will  be  a  pleastnt 
reunion  and  a  successful  shoot. 

Five  events  are  carded — 15  targets,  75  cents  entrance, 
3  moneys,  Ross  system,  known  angles,  unknown  traps, 
one  man  up — 15  targets,  75  cents  entrance,  Rose  sys- 
tem, 3  moneys,  known  angles,  unknown  traps,  one 
man  up,  gun  to  be  held  below  the  elbow — 20  targets, 
merchandise  prizes,  $1  entrance,  Sergeant  system — 20 
targets,  ladies'  merchandise  prizes,  $1  entrance,  at  the 
straightbulkhead,  one  man  up — couple  shoot,  75  cents 
entrance,  the  last  man  in  will  win  first  money  and  also 
a  framed  picture  of  all  contestants  (including  himself) 
that  he  bested  in  the  race.  Money  division  subject 
to  entries  received. 

For  variety  and  "juice"  this  program  is  calculated 
to  draw  a  crowd.  The  Lincoln  club  was  organized 
nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  and  was  always  a 
popular  club.  This  redivivus  will  be  cheering  news 
to  a  host  of  trap  shooters  and  sportsmen. 


The  proposal  to  hold  the  interstate  blue  rock 
tournament  of  the  Pacific  Coast  in  Seattle  this  year 
has  been  abandoned  after  careful  consideration  and  a 
canvass  of  the  clubs,  and  San  Francisco  has  been 
chosen  instead.  Captain  E.  E.  Ellis  of  the  Seattle 
Gun  Club  was  notified  of  this  action  by  Mr.  Elmer 
E.  Shaner,  secretary  and  manager  of  the  Inter- 
state Association.  The  shoot  will  probably  take 
place  at  Ingleside  in  September  and  will  be  a"corker." 
A  strong  contingent  of  Eastern  shooters  will  attend. 
Curiosity  is  rife  as  to  results  when  the  Coast  cracks 
meet  the  visiting  experts. 

At  the  Iowa  State  Sportsmen's  tournament  W.  H. 
Heer  made  a  run  of  307  breaks  straight  at  the  blue 
rock  traps.  The  distance  is  not  given,  it  may  have 
been  at  16  yards,  if  it  was  it  was  a  great  performance 
anyhow,  if  at  18  or  20  yards,  at  which  handicaps  Heer 
frequently  shoots,  it  was  a   marvellous  performance.

COLLIE     CLUB     NOTES. 

The  Golden  State  Collie  Club  roll  of  membership 
will  probably  be  over  fifty  before  many  days.  En- 
thusiasm is  so  strong  among  the  members  that  the 
club  exhibit  at  the  May  show  will  be  the  strongest 
showing  of  Collies  ever  Been  at  a  Coast  show.    Be- 


sides homebred  ones  there  will  be  a  number  of  new- 
comers, and  this  means  something  for  a  boom  in  the 
breed. 

The  list  of  club  specials  will  bring  out  a  keen  com- 
petition among  the  members.  At  a  meeting  of  the 
club  this  week  a  committee  was  appointed  to  select 
a  design  for  a  club  medal.  Among  the  specials  offered 
is  a  handsome  cup  donated  by  Mr.  William  Ellery. 
Messrs.  Thors,  Dana  and  Taber  have  given  some 
acceptable  specials  also. 

The  benching  arrangement  of  the  Collies  this  year 
will  be  of  such  a  nature  as  will  make  the  breed  ex- 
hibit a  feature  of  the  show.

The  Cook  Inlet  Region,  Alaska. 
Ill 

TBy  Wilfred  H.  Osgood,  Division  of  Biological  Survey,  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture.] 

Birds  observed:  Loon,  red  throated  loon,  California 
murre,  parasitic  jaeger,  Pacific  kittiwake,  Arctic 
tern,  short  tailed  albatross,  pelagic  cormorant,  north- 
ern raven,  rusty  blackbird,  American  white  winged 
crossbill,  redpoll,  pine  siskin,  Alaska  longspur;  west- 
ern savanna,  intermediate,  golden  crowned  and  west-

crowned  and  ruby  crowned  kinglet;  gray  checked, 
alma,  varied  and  dwarf  hermit  thrushes;  also  the  fol 
lowing  birdB: 

Bonaparte  Gull— A  few  large  gulls  in  immature 
plumage  were  occasionally  seen,  but  they  were  notice- 
abely  uncommon.  This  scarcity  I  found  was  due  to 
the  fact  that  for  the  past  two  years  gulls  have  been 
systematically  slaughtered  for  millinery  purposes.  A 
trader  offered  from  ten  to  twenty  cents  each  for  them, 
and  consequently  the  Indians  and  halfbreeds  have 
killed  every  one  that  has  come  within  range  of  their 
guns. 

Mallard — Common  at  Tyonek. 

Pintail— A  specimen  was  taken  by  Bischoff  at  Fort 
Kenai. 

American  Scaup  Duck — A  flock  of  six  scaup  ducks 
was  seen  on  a  pond  near  Tyonek  September  17. 

Pacific  Eider— A  young  bird  and  four  eggs  were 
secured  by  Dr.  T.  H.  Bean  at  Chugachik  bay — 
(Kachemak  bay)— July,  1880. 

Surf  Scoter — Several  flocks  of  scoters  supposed  to 
be  this  species  were  seen  at  Homer  August  22.  A 
specimen  was  taken  by  Bischoff  at  Fort  Kenai  July, 
1869. 

Canada  Goose — Small  flocks  were  frequently  seen 
at  Tyonek,  but  no  specimens  were  secured. 

Whistling  Swan— The  miners  about  the  inlet  say 
that  swans  are  often  seen  there  and  that  several  have 
been  killed. 

Great  Blue  Heron— A  great  blue  heron  was  seen  at 
Hope  by  E.  Heller. 

Little  Brown  Crane — Immense  flocks  of  migrating 
cranes  are  said  to  pass  over  Cook  Inlet  annually. 
Three  specimens  were  taken  at  Fort  Kenai  by  Bischoff. 

Northern  Phalarope— Six  specimens  were  taken  by 
Bischoff  at  Fort  Kenai  May,  1869. 

Wilson  Snipe— One  specimen  was  taken  by  Bischoff 
at  Fort  Kenai  May  5,  1869 

Longbilled  Dowitcher— Four  specimens  were  taken 
at  Fort  Kenai  May  4-9,  1869,  and  one  July  20,  1869. 
Two  of  these  are  still  in  the  National  Museum. 

Aleutian  Sandpiper — An  Aleutian  sandpiper  was 
seen  on  the  beach  near  Homer,  Aug.  22. 

Baird  Sandpiper — A  sandpiper,  thought  to  be  this 
species,  was  seen  at  Homer,  Aug.  22. 

Redbacked  Sandpiper— One  specimen  taken  at 
Fort  Kenai  by  Bischoff,  May  16,  1869 

Western  Sandpipsr — Three  specimens  were  taken 
at  Fort  Kenai  by  Bischoff,  May  12-16,  1869.  One  of 
these  (No.  58470)  has  been  examined;  it  is  perfectly 
typical  of  the  large  billed  form,  ocoidentalis. 

Hudsonian  Godwit — Nine  specimens  were  taken 
by  Bischoff  at  Fort  Kenai.  At  least  two  of  these 
are  still  in  the  National  Museum — One  an  adult  in 
breeding  plumage,  the  other  in  full  plumage. 

Greater  Yellowlegs — Taken  at  Fort  Kenai  by  Bis- 
choff, May  and  June,  1869,  specimen  still  in  National 
Museum. 

Spotted  Sandpiper — Several  were  seen  along  Resur- 
rection creek  near  Hope,  and  one  was  taken. 

Hudsonian  Curlew— A  specimen  was  taken  by  Bis- 
choff at  Fort  Kenai,  May  18,  1869,  but  cannot  now  be 
found  in  the  National  Museum. 

Blackbellied  Plover— One  taken  by  Bischoff  at 
Fort  Kenai,  May  6,  1869;  specimen  examined  in 
National  Museum 

Alaska  Spruce  Grouse — Black  grouse  or  foolhens,  as 
they  are  locally  termed,  are  very  common  in  all  the 
Cook  Inlet  region.  They  are  easily  killed,  and  may 
thus  find  their  way  to  the  hunter's  fryingpan.  The 
Indians  and  halfbreeds  also  hunt  them  to  a  consider- 
able extent.  When  flushed  from  the  ground,  they 
rise  q  dckly  and  fly  swiftly,  but  only  to  light  in  the 
nearest  spruce.  When  this  is  but  a  few  yards  away, 
they  Immediately  flounder  into  the  thickest  part  of  it: 
bit  I1  along  stretch  of  birches,  poplars,  or  small  de- 
a  bushes  intervenes,  they  continue  winding  in 
ut  until  they  reach  the  requisite  spruce.    In 


September  at  Tyonek  they  were  often  found  in  small 
flocks  of  eight  or  ten  individuals.  When  flushed  each 
would  betake  itself  to  a  separate  tree,  and  after  a  brief 
interval  start  a  subdued  clucking,  so  that  all  could  be 
easily  located.  At  Hope  they  were  found  ranging 
from  sea  level  to  timberline;  on  one  occasion  I  flushed 
a  flock  of  grouse  and  but  a  short  distance  farther  on 
a  flock  of  ptarmigan.  Their  crops  were  usually  found 
to  oontain  spruce  needles  and  Vaceiman  and  Tiburniim 
berries,  and  in  one  case  beads  of  Equisetum.  Cook 
Inlet  specimens  agree  perfectly  with  osqoodi  from  the 
Yukon  Valley. 

Rock  Ptarmigan— A  few  small  flocks  were  seen  in 
the  mountains  on  the  north  side  of  Bear  creek,  and 
three  females  were  taken.  They  have  been  hunted 
more  or  less  hy  the  miners  in  this  vicinity,  and  we 
found  them  very  wild  and  hard  to  secure. 

Northern  White  tailed  Ptarmigan — While  setting 
small  mammal  traps  in  a  few  patches  of  grass  at  the 
extreme  head  of  Bear  creek  September  5, 1  suddenly 
became  aware  of  a  subdued  clucking,  apparently  from 
a  rockside  not  far  a^ay.  Upon  following  up  the 
sound  I  was  soon  able  to  distinguish  some  gray  birds 
moving  over  the  rocks,  but  so  closely  did  they 
resemble  the  background  that  I  could  not  see  them 
unless  they  moved.  They  were  quite  tame  and  allowed 
me  to  approach  within  a  few  yards,  so  that  I  was 
easily  able  to  make  out  an  old  female  white  tailed 
ptarmigan  and  a  brood  of  seven  nearly  full-grown 
young.  The  old  bird  was  almost  as  solicitous  for  her 
charges  as  if  they  had  been  downy  chickB,  and  led 
them  away  very  adroitly,  keeping  up  a  continuous 
purring  cluck  and  making  herself  as  conspicuous  as 
possible.  Although  evidently  much  alarmed  at  my 
presence,  flight  as  a  means  of  escape  did  not  seem  to 
enter  their  heads,  and  it  was  not  until  I  fired  on  the 
old  bird  that  the  young  took  wing.  I  had  only  my 
rifle  with  me,  and  so  was  obliged  to  shoot  the  ptarmi- 
gan with  a  load  intended  for  bear,  but  fortunately  the 
bird  was  not  irreparably  mutilated  and  I  was  abie  to 
make  a  fairly  good  specimen  of  it.  This  specimen 
was  found  to  be  different  from  the  white  tailed  ptarmi- 
gan of  the  Colorado  mountains,  and  examination  of 
the  original  descriplion  of  Lagopits  leucurus  showed 
that  the  Northern  bird  was  the  one  originally  de- 
scribed by  Swainson. 

Marsh  Hawk— One  was  seen  flying  back  and  forth 
near  Homer  over  a  meadow  thickly  populated  with 
Microtus.    Another  was  seen  at  Hope. 

Olive  sided  Flycatcher — A  specimen  from  Fort 
Kenai  is  in  the  National  Museum.  It  is  an  adult  male 
taken  by  Bischoff,  May  26,  1869. 

American  Magpie — The  miners  at  Sunrise  City 
told  us  that  magpies  had  been  seen  in  that  vicinity 
frequently,  but  ve  did  not  observe  them  there  or  at 
any  other  point  in  the  inlet  Specimens  taken  in 
Graham  harbor  by  C.  H.  Townsend  in  1892  are  in  the 
National  Museum. 

Steller  Jay — Several  specimens  taken  at  Graham 
harbor  in  1892  by  C.  H.  Townsend  and  B.  W.  Ever- 
mann  are  in  the  National  Museum.  This  is  appar- 
ently the  northern  limit  of  the  species,  as  we  did  not 
find  it  farther  up  the  inlet  in  Turnagain  Arm,  or  on 
th6  north  side  at  Tyonek. 

Alaska  Jay — Occasionally  seen.  One  morning,  after 
a  light  fall  of  snow,  a  small  party  of  jays  visited  our 
camp  in  the  mountains  near  rZope.  A  few  were  also 
Been  at  Tyonek.  A  large  series  was  taken  by  Bischoff 
at  Fort  Kenai. 

Western  Goshawk — Goshawks  were  frequently 
seen  near  Tyonek,  and  immature  birds  were  taken 
Sept.  18.  Remains  of  Sciurns  were  found  in  their 
craws. 
Alaska  Bald  Eagle — Said  to  occur;  not  seen  by  us. 
Pigeon  Hawk — Rather  common;  several  were 
seen  at  Hope  and  also  at  Tyonek.  An  immature  bird 
was  shot  by  E.  Heller  at  Hope,  Aug.  30.  Its  craw 
contained  parts  of  crossbills 

Dusky  HornedOwl— Very  common;  they  were  heard 
nightly  at  Hope  and  occasionally  at  Tyonek.  One 
was  seen  on  a  dark  day  in  the  deep  birch  wood  s  back 
of  Tyonek,  and  an  adult  female  was  shot  at  Hope, 
Aug.  30.  A  specimen  taken  by  George  Palmer  at 
Knik  Station  is  in  the  National  Museum.  These  two 
specimens  are  quite  different  from  typioal  saturatus, 
but  they  are  nearer  to  it  than  to  any  other  described 
form.  They  are  considerably  lighter  than  saturatus 
and  do  not  have  barring  extending  down  on  the  feet 
to  the  claws,  as  is  usual  in  that  form;  also  the  bars  on 
the  sides  are  not  blended,  but  separated  by  distinct 
areas. 

Snowy  Owl — The  miners  and  traders  about  Cook 
Inlet  say  that  snowy  owls  have  frequently  been  killed 
there  in  winter. 

Belted  Kingfisher — Common  along  streams.  Its 
loud,  clattering  cry  was  heard  frequently  along  Resur- 
rection creek,  near  Hope,  when  the  thick  growth  of 
trees  and  shrubs  prevented  seeing  the  bird. 

STUDY    OF    BIRD    LIFE. 

The  study  of  birds  and  bird  life  is  not  a  fad;  it  is  of 
the  greatest  scientific  importance  to  the  progress  of 
the  State,  as  has  been  frequently  proven.  To  the 
busy  man  of  affairB  the  enthusiastic  observance  of 
bird  habits  appears  trivial  and  beneath  notice,  yet 
it  is  of  the  greatest  importance  to  agriculture.  Only 
a  few  months  ago  there  was  a  protest  from  a  portion 
of  the  Santa  Clara  valley  over  existing  game  laws, 
which  prevent  the  killing  of  quail  except  during 
certain  seasons.  They  pleaded  for  destruction  of  the 
little  game  birds,  making  the  point  that  grape  and 
grain  crops  were  in  danger  of  being  ruined.  The 
Game  Commission  sent  a  man  to  the  field,  several  of 
the  supposed  pests  were  killed,  and  the  crops  were 
found  to  contain  only  insects,  seeds  of  pernicious 
weeds  and  a  few  grape  pits.  Further  study  showed 
the  grape  seeds  were  from  fruit  that  had  fallen  from 
the  vines.  The  plea  was  proved  to  be  for  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  agriculturist's  best  friends  instead  of  his 
enemies. 

In  the  forthcoming  exhibition  of  the  Forest,  Fish 
and  Game  Association  at  the  Mechanics'  Pavilion  in 
San  Francisco  in  April,  it  is  hoped  to  bring  the 
general  public  on  a  more  intimate  footing   with   the 


feathered  tribes  that  make  California  a  home.  The 
educational  process  will  not  be  of  the  dull  sort.  The 
vast  aviaries  are  to  contain  as  nearly  as  possible  every 
manner  of  bird  in  the  State.  Short,  terse  lectures 
will  be  given  at  intervals  in  such  language  that  a 
child  may  understand. 

To  obtain  these  varied  specimens  the  association 
has  had  two  men  in  the  field  for  some  time.  They  are 
tboroughly  equipped  with  apparatus  necessary  to  the 
work,  and  are  trying  more  particularly  to  acquire 
large  specimens  of  water  and  shore  birds,  such  as  a  uck  s 
herons,  pelicans,  cranes,  sea  gulls  and  thelike.  There 
are  several  colonies  of  rare  birds  within  a  hundred 
miles  of  San  Francisco  who  live  in  undergrowth  as 
dense  as  the  wildest  portion  of  Central  Africa.  Oft- 
times  hours  of  labor  with  pruning  knives  make  but  a 
few  yards  of  headway  through  this  dense  mass  that 
has  sheltered  the  bird  family  for  half  a  century. 
Some  of  them  are  nesting  at  heights  of  over  100  feet, 
and  the  work  of  reaching  the  nests  is  perilous.  In 
studying  bird  life  it  has  been  found  necessary  to  make 
many  photographs  of  the  birds  and  nests.  The  task 
has  been  very  difficult,  but  enthusiasts  have  accom- 
plished wonders  along  this  line.

TRADE  NOTES. 

A     WORD     TO     ANGLERS. 

The  sporting  goods  emporium  of  Clabrou»h, 
Golcher  &  Co.,  538  Market  street,  San  Francisco, 
have  now  in  stock  a  line  of  anglers' goods  and  sun- 
dries that  is  up-to-date  and  complete  in  every  respect. 

Among  the  list  is  a  recent  consignment  of  light  and 
heavy  Leonard  rode.  A  full  assortment  of  other 
makes  of  rods  can  also  be  seen  there.  Among  the  new 
rods  is  a  recent  design — a  rod  with  an  offset  reel  seat. 
This  is  an  innovation  from  conventional  style  that  has 
woh  the  commendations  of  many  angling  experts. 
This  rod  is  designed  so  that  the  line  aligns  with  the 
rod  and  friction  on  the  braided  silk  is  reduced  to  a 
minimum.  These  rods  are  in  fly-fishing  and  bait-cast- 
ing models,  light  and  strong. 

A  large  assortment  of  Hardy  reels  invite  inspection 
of  anglers.  These  reels  are  ball  bearing,  in  three 
pieces,  have  an  outgoing  drag  but  no  drag  on  the  in- 
coming line. 

Allcock's  straight  running  and  Leonard  reels  are 
perfect  in  design  and  exquisite  in  finish. 

A  fine  lot  of  double  tapered  silk  lines  are  not  the 
least  important  of  the  stock  of  lines  offered. 

In  fly-books  a  selection  can  be  had  from  the  best 
designs  and  makes.  A  new  contiivance  for  flies  and 
leaders — a  fly-pocket,  it  should  be  seen  to  be  appre- 
ciated. 

A  supply  of  gut,  for  leaders  and  flies,  is  now  on 
hand  that  is  about  as  near  the  angler's  ideal  ns  can 
be  secured. 

An  immense  and  complete  assortment  of  articles  in- 
dispensable and  convenient  to  anglers  should  be  seen 
to  be  appreciated.  If  you  can  not  visit  the  emporium 
at  538  Market  street,  send  for  a  catalogue,  it  is  worth 
looking  over. 

SEND    FOR    ONE. 

The  G.  W.  Cole  Co.,  141  Broadway,  New  York,  has 
issued  a  book  telling  all  about  "3  in  one"  oil,  giving 
instructions  as  to  the  best  methods  of  using  it.  and 
a  list  of  a  great  number  of  machines  and  other  things 
on  which  it  may  be  advantageously  used. 

The  pamphlet  really  gives  a  great  fund  of  valuable 
information,  and  a  copy  of  it,  together  with  a  sample 
of  the  oil,  will  be  sent  to  any  person  asking  for  them 
and  mentioning  tbe  Breeder  and  Sportsman. 

This  compound  is  much  esteemed  by  every  sports- 
man who  has  used  it.  For  firearms  and  fishing  reels 
it  is  claimed  to  be  without  a  superior. 

A    TEXAS    TORNADO. 

A  Btrong  preference  for  U.  M.  C.  shotgun  shells  has 
swept  over  Texas.  Last  year  the  Sunny  South  Handi- 
cap at  birds  and  flying  targets  were  won  with  U.  M. 
C.  shells. 

This  year  H.  G.  Taylor  of  Taylor,  Texas,  won  the 
Central  Texas  Handicap  on  January  20th.  At  Bren- 
bam  on  January  25th,  he  won  the  Sunny  South 
Handicap,  Messrs.  Heikes  and  Coe  second.

A    NEW    INDOOR    MUSKET. 

The  Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Company  has  just 
placed  a  new  .22-calibre  single-shot  musket  en  the 
market.  The  list  price  is  $16.  The  W.  R.  A.  Com- 
pany furnishes  the  following  information:  "This  new 
Winchester  single-Bhot  musket  is  designed  especially 
for  indoor  target  practice  by  members  of  militia 
organizations,  and  possesses  many  features  which 
make  it  particularly  desirable  for  this  kind  of  shoot- 
ing. In  its  barrel  length,  pull  of  trigger,  weight  and 
adaptation  for  sights,  the  Winchester  .22-calibre 
Bingle-shot  musket  is  nearly  identical  with  the  Krag- 
Jorgensen  rifle,  and  in  accuracy  it  is  one  of  the  most 
effective  guns  on  the  market  today.  Its  close  similarity 
to  the  Krag  in  its  salient  features,  and  the  excellent 
accuracy  shown  in  the  tests  to  which  it  has  been  sub- 
mitted, strongly  recommeLid  it  for  use  in  military 
target  practice  in  indoor  ranges.  The  new  musket 
has  the  simple  and  reliable  Winchester  single-shot 
action  and  is  fitted  with  a  heavy  2S-inch  round  barrel. 
It  can  be  furnished  when  so  ordered  without  a  rear 
sight,  but  with  the  barre.1  drilled  to  allow  the  use  of 
the  regular  Krag-Jorgensen  rear  sight.  It  will  be 
equipped  unless  ordered  otherwise  with  a  regular 
musket  rear  sight.  These  muskets  as  regularly  fur- 
nished are  sighted  at  50  feet,  but  they  are  accurate  at 
much  longer  ranges.  The  length  of  the  musket  over 
all  is  44  inches.  Length  of  stock  13}  inches,  with  a 
dropatcomb  of  13  incbesand  drop  at  heel  of  2J  inches, 
and  the  weight  is  about  81  pounds.  These  muskets 
are  already  in  use  by  several  State  militia  organiza- 
tions and  are  giving  splendid  satisfaction."

Vendome  Dairy  Farm. 


James  W.  Kea  of  San  Jose  has  gone  in 
for  dairy  cattle  instead  of  trotting  horses 
and  the  Vendome  Stock  Farm,  where 
Iran  Alto  2:12^  once  held  sway,  iB 
rapidly  being  transformed  into  a  model 
dairy  farm,  while  Iran  Alto  has  been  sent 
to  Woodland,  Yolo  county,  and  placed  in 
the  stud  there  under  the  management  of 
H.  S.  Hogoboom.  According  to  the  San 
Jose  Mercury  the  Vendome  dairy  farm  is 
rapidly  getting  in  shape  for  active  opera- 
tions and  it  is  expected  that  in  about 
three  weeks  it  will  be  ready  to  open  its 
routes.  The  machinery  will  be  shipped 
this  week. 

James  W.  Kea  has  Becared  as  super- 
intendent of  the  farm  H.  B.    Heath,  who 


and  it  will  be  the  purpose  of  the  Vendome 
dairy  to  establish  a  standard  of  quality 
and  price.  The  proposed  standard  will 
be  4  per  cent  butter  fat,  which  is  1  per 
cent  above  the  legal  standard. 

Many  methods  are  adopted  to  preserve 
milk,  but  pasteurization  is  considered  the 
most  sanitary  as  compared  with  boracic 
acid  and  all  formaldehyde  preparations 
which  health  officers  say  are  detrimental. 
Pasteurization  preserves  the  natural 
quality.  It  is  proposed  to  get  out  a 
phamphlet  giving  full  information  on 
these  points  for  public  information. 

At  the  opening  of  the  establishment 
for  business  there  will  be  a  banquet  and 
reception.  The  health  officers  of  San 
Jose  and  San  Francisco,  under  whose 
supervision  the  dairy  has  been  equipped, 
will  be  present  and  there  will  be  a  demon- 
stration of  the  sanitary  character  of  the 
methods  used.  In  his  last  report  Dr 
Eagan,  of  San  Francisco,  said  that  the 
Vendome  dairy  would  demonstrate  that 
the  microbes  in  milk  can  be  overcome.

In  operating  the  Vendome  dairy  every 
precaution  will  be  taken  from  tne  sani- 
tary standpoint,  both  as  to  the  surround- 
ings of  the  herd  and  their  feed.  Balanced 
rations  will  be  used  to  produce  the  maxi- 
mum amount  and  quality  of  milk.  The 
milkers  will  be  required  to  brush  and 
card  the  cows  and  to  wash  them  when 
necessary  with  hot  and  cold  water.  Each 
milker  will  have  clean  suit  and  shoes  for 
his  work  and  a  damp  towel  for  wiping  the 
udders  and  Bides  of  the  cows  and  for 
keeping  his  hands  clean.  The  suits  and 
shoes  will  be  cleaned  every  day.  The 
milk  will  be  drawn  into  Reagan  sanitary 
pails  and  carried  to  automatic  scales  that 
by  the  tonch  of  a  button  opposite  each 
cow'b  name  or  number  will  register  the 
net  amount  of  each  milking.  It  will  then 
be  carried  immediately  from  its  Burround- 
ingB,  poured  through  a  Blide  in  the  wall 
of  the  building  and  conducted  to  the 
creamery.  There  it  will  be  passed 
through  tbe  clarifier  and  thence  to  the 
pasteurizer,  where  all  germs  will  be  killed 
at  a  temperature  of  150  and  then  dropped 
to  40  degrees  or  lower.  It  will  then  be 
put  in  sterilized  bottles  and  sealed  with 
a  pulp  cap  ready  for  delivery.  Milk  thuB 
treated  will  keep  Bweet  from  four  to 
eight  days.  There  will  be  a  ticket  sys- 
tem to  regulate  deliveries. 

Milk  and  cream  should  be  charged  for 
according  to  its   richness   in    butter  fat 


should  come  from  a  large  litter  and  from 
sow  that  is  a  good  feeder,  gentle  and 
easy  to  handle.  For  if  she  is  gentle  and 
kind  and  a  good  feeder,  she  will  usually 
be  a  good  milker,  a  very  essential  point 
in  a  brood  sow,  writes  H.  W.  Hale  in 
Orange  Judd  Farmer.  One  cannot  judge 
accurately  of  the  milking  qualities  in  a 
gilt,  but  a  chunky,  heavy-boned,  short- 
legged  sow  is  not  as  good  a  milker  as  one 
with  a  longer  body  and  legs,  and  less 
rounded  sides.  Under  all  circumstances 
avoid  one  that  is  wild,  or  nervous,  or  has 
a  low  back.  The  legB  must  be  strong  and 
straight.  The  sow  must  stand  entirely  on 
her  toes  and  should  show  ten  or  twelve 
teats. 

The  age  at  which  to  breed  defends  on 
the  maturity  more  than  the  age.  A  gilt 
that  has  been  properly  handled  will 
weigh  200  pounds  or  more  at  eight  months, 
and  ought  to  raise  a  good  litter  of  pigs  if 
bred  then.  When  a  young  sow  has  only 
a  few  pigs,  or  is  a  poor  milker  or  a  care- 
less  mother,  she  should  be  sent  to  the 
meat  barrel  at  once.  But  if  she  is  a  good 
milker  Bhe  should  be  tried  again,  for  the 
second  litter  will  usually  be  larger  than 
the  first.

[t  is  probable  that  an  entirely  new  use 
for  crude  petroleum,  which  will  require 
many  hundreds  of  thousands  of  barrels  of 
oil  in  California,  will  be  shortly  developed 
In  Santa  Clara  valley  experiments  are  be- 
ing made  with  the  crude  product  as  a 
manure  for  fruit  trees,  and  as  a  preventa^ 
tive  of  the  borer. 

The  method  of  application  is  very 
simple,  and  it  is  claimed  that  where  it 
has  been  tried  for  two  jearB  there  is  a 
perceptible  increase  in  the  amount  pro- 
duced, and  that  tbe  quality  is  better. 
About  a  pint  of  crude  oil  is  sprinkled 
around  each  tree  in  tbe  spring  and  late  in 
the  fall,  two  applications  being  neceBsary. 

The  experiment  was  first  tried  upon  a 
prune  orchard  which  was  affected  with 
borers— in  two  years  no  borers  could  be 
found  among  the  trees.  It  is  now  being 
tried  with  peach,  apricots  and  other 
orchards. — Lompoc  Journal.

Dairy  Notes. 


Successful  dairying  cannot  be  ac- 
complished by  physical  labor  alone.  Old 
methods  will  not  accomplish  results  for 
the  present  times.  In  dairying,  as  in 
others  things,  one  muBt  keep  up,  or  be 
left  behind. 

Those  who  have  succeeded  with  cows 
and  everything  else  are  those  who  have 
adopted  a  course  and  stuck  to  it.  Methods 
may  be  changed,  but  the  ultimate  aim 
should  never  be.  "It  is  defeat  that  turns 
bone  to  flint,"  Bays  Dr.  Beecher,  "and 
gristle  to  muscle,  and  makes  men  in- 
vincible " 

The  men  who  have  succeeded  are  those 
who  read,  and  searched  for  something 
better  all  the  time. 

While  the  milk  is  warm  it  evaporates 
enough  to  keep  it  from  absorbing  odors, 
but  when  it  begins  to  cool  then  it  absorbB 
anything  and  everything.  It  should  be 
set  in  as  cool  and  as  pure  an  atmosphere 
as  possible. 

A  cow  that  kicks  like  a  steer,  or  a  mule, 
and  cannot  be  cured,  deserves  to  be  sold 
for  beef,  although  some  are  too  valuable 
to  be  butchered.  She  is  not  quite  as  bad 
as  the  man  who  will  kick  a  cow. 

A  memorandum  should  be  made  of 
every  cow  that  is  bred,  so  that  she  may 
receive  proper  treatment  at  the  proper 
time. 

By  careful  selection  and  breeding,  good 
cows  can  be  made  better.  Pairs  from 
animals  of  good  milking  qualities  will  im- 
prove if  selected  and  bred  properly.  Do 
not  begin  too  young.  Better  results  come 
from  mature  stock. 

Cows,  as  well  as  horses,  should  be 
brushed  every  day.  They  are  not  a  very 
cleanly  animal,  and  need  to  have  some 
care  in  order  to  get  the  best  flavored 
milk.  It  is  also  one  of  the  conditions 
which  makes  cows  give  a  larger  quantity 
of  milk.  The  cleaning  will  be  very  much 
simplified  if  the  cowa  have  good  bedding 
and  are  not  permitted  to  get  filthy. 

It  may  be  so  every  winter,  but  there 
seems  to  have  been  more  "off-flavored' 
butter  this  winter  than  ever  Almost 
every  market  complains  of  it.  The  trouble 
may  be  in  the  milk,  or  the  butter-maker, 
or  in  the  atmosphere.  Will  those  who 
have  a  theory  please  write  ub  about  it? 
Some  say  the  temperature  at  which  the 
cream  is  churned  makes  the  difference. 
What  is  it? 

No  experiment  station  has  carried  on 
or  ever  will  carry  on  Buch  esteneive  and 
impartial  teste  of  dairy  possibilities  as 
did  the  World's  Fair  at  St.  Louis.  The 
whole  dairy  world  is  indebted  to  it  for 
the  valuable  data  thus  obtained.  The 
beat  cows  of  every  breed  were  there,  and 
the  most  expert  feedere  and  breeders  in 
the  world  gave  them  their  best  effort  in 
feed  and  management,  and  made  a  record 
every  day.  These  will  be  available  for 
those  who  are  interested. 

It  is  not  a  true  sign  of  a  valuablecow  to 
have  her  give  milk  year  after  year.  It  is 
more  natural  for  her  to  have  a  rest  period 
between  periods  of  lactation. 

A  man  who  robs  hiB  cows  is  really  tak- 
ing from  himself;  he  will  be  the  loser. 
To  feed  the  cow  liberally  during  the  win- 
ter prepares  her  for  less  food  during  the 
coming  season. 

Nothing  is  more  healthful  and  refresh- 
ing than  a  drink  of  good  buttermilk 
Not  everyone  knows  that  the  churning 
needs  to  be  about  half  rich  milk  in  order 
for  the  buttermilk  to  be  good.  Then  it 
needs  to  be  churned  at  the  right  time 
that  it  may  be  palatable. 

It  doeB  not  pay  to  hurry  in  buttermak- 
ing.  If  the  milk  is  skimmed  before  it  is 
quite  ready  or  churned  before  it  is  quite 
ripe,  or  churned  too  rapidly  or  taken  up 
too  soon,  or  worked  too  rapidly,  the  but- 
ter will  not  be  good.  It  pays  to  take 
time  in  buttermaking. 

The  first  milk  drawn  has  elements  in  it 

which  -.re  best  for  the  ealf ;   the  last  milk 

is  bet. ?r  for   butter  and   family  use;  the 

the  milk  is  good  for  either. 

There  is  no  doubt  but  that  the  better  a 

-    kept  in  the  winter  the  more  milk 


and  butter  she  will  make  during  the  com- 
ing season.  It  never  pays  to  let  her  get 
poor.  A  poor,  weak  cow  cannot  bear  or 
rear  a  fat  calf,  nor  give  much  milk  of  a 
good  quality. 

Some  destroy  the  flavor  of  the  butter 
by  putting  in  too  much  salt. 

Webs  accumulate  in  the  stable,  and 
should  be  removed.  They  are  the  nest- 
ing places  for  insects  and  bacteria. — Texas

tion   Period. 


make  a  pound  of  hog  will  also  make  a 
pound  of  chicken,  and  the  pound  of 
chicken  is  always  worth  two  pounds  of 
hog. 

People  in  the  poultry  business  for  the 
profitable  side  of  the  proposition  are  not 
at  any  time  in  a  position  to  take  a  day  off, 
even  in  the  dull  season.  The  poultry 
business  is  a  matter  of  every  day  care 
when  it  comes  to  profits. 


Racing!  Racing! 


It  is  often  of  much  importance  to  know 
at  what  time  in  a  cow's  lactation  period 
she  is  liable  to  make  her  best  record. 
Nearly  all  of  the  associations  of  our  im- 
proved dairy  breedB,  favor  the  animalB 
making  large  milk  or  butter  recordB.  In 
Borne  cases  certain  fixed  standards  are 
set,  as,  for  example,  in  the  American 
Jersey  Cattle  Club  Association,  where 
14  pounds  of  butter  or  over  is  required  to 
admit  animals  to  what  is  known  as  the 
"tested  list." 

In  looking  over  the  herd  records,  it 
was  found  that  a  great  variation  existed 
as  to  the  beet  week  of  lactation.  This 
variation  was  not  only  among  certain  in- 
dividual cowb,  but  also  exiBted  with  the 
same  cow  from  vear  to  year. 

In  order  to  get  reliable  data,  it  waB 
quite  evident  a  large  number  of  records 
would  be  required  to  overcome  the  vary- 
ing influence  and  find  a  fair  average. 
Minnesota  Experiment  Station  was  there- 
fore called  upon  to  co-operate  with  the 
Nebraska  Station,  and  they  were  able  to 
furniBh  155  records.  This,  combined  with 
84  records  from  the  Nebraska  Station, 
gave  a  total  of  239.  Out  of  thia  large 
number  of  carefully  compiled  records  the 
following  table  and  resultB  are  drawn. 

It  waa  found  that  nine-tenthB  of  the 
cows  made  their  best  records  during  the 
first  tenlweekB  of  lactation,  and  that  over 
one-half  made  their  beat  recorda  during 
the  first  month. 

The  first  week  is  calculated  beginning 
four  day3  after  calving,  thus  making  the 
end  of  the  first  week  eleven  days  after 
calving. 

It  was  shown  by  the  experiments  made 
that  the  greatest  number  of  cows  made 
their  best  milk  flow  the  third  week, 
while  the  best  butter  production  waB 
made  in  the  Becond  week. 

From  the  results  obtained  in  this  test, 
which  bid  fair  to  be  average,  the  second 
and  third  weeks  of  a  cow's  lactation  are 
the  best,  and  there  iBnot  much  difference 
between  the  two. 

A  cow  reaches  her  higheBt  production 
of  butter  fat  at  an  earlier  period  than  she 
does  her  greatest  milk  flow. 

Poultry  Points. 

Coal  cinderB  are  a  good  grit,  and  some 
prefer  them  to  the  best  grit  that  can  be 
made. 

EggB  natches  by  hens  require  21  days, 
duck  28,  turkeys  26,  pigeons  18,  guineas 30. 

Corn  meal  and  bran  mixed  well  to- 
gether and  scalded  make  a  good  warm 
feed  for  incubator  fowls. 

The  more  efforts  we  put  forth  and  the 
more  attention  we  give  to  the  poultry 
business,  as  with  anything  elBe,  the  more 
successful  it  will  be. 

Pnllets  generally  lay  more  eggs  during 
the  winter  months  than  hens.  If  you  are 
a  beginner  in  the  poultry  business  re- 
member this. 

Ab  a  general  thing  fowls  do  not  drink 
as  much  water  during  the  winter  as  they 
do  in  the  summer  months,  but  it  is  well 
to  remember  that  it  is  as  essential  to  give 
them  daily  access  to  good  clean  water, 
even  if  the  weather  is  cold. 

Plants  and  trees  thickly  covered  with 
foliage  may  be  a  good  roosting  place  for 
fowls  in  the  summer,  but  a  good  warm 
hen  house  is  what  they  need  in  the 
winter.  A  half  frozen  hen  cannot  lay 
eggs,  and  what  is  more,  she  will  not. 

Don't  Bell  your  young  chickenB  from 
the  farm,  as  some  people  do.  Do  you 
know  that  tne  amount  of  corn   that  will

Sidney  Dillon Guy  Wilkes Director     Mambrino  Chief     Bellfounder 

DILLCARA 

PEDIGREE: 

DILLCARA,  foaled  1902 by SIDNEY  DILLON  23157 

First  dam,  GUYCARA  2:18| by GUY  WILKES  2867  (2:15|) 

Second  dam,  BISCARA by DIRECTOR  2:17 

Third  dam,  BICARA by HAROLD 

Fourth  dam,  BELLE by MAMBRINO  CHIEF 

Fifth  dam,  BELLE  LUPE by BELLFOUNDER  (Brown's) 


The  above  dams  in  this  young  stallion's 
pedigree  are  the  choicest.  The  first  dam  is  a 
young  brood  mare  with  a  record  of  2:183£:  the 
second  dam  is  the  dam  of  4  iri  the  list  with 
recordaof  2:18^,S:185£,2:24M  and  2:27,  respec- 
tively; the  third  dam  was  the  dam  of  5  with 
records,  2:21  H,  2:2iaj..  2:28h'  etc,  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast,  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Chief 
and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mia;  the  fourth  dam  W3s  the  dam  of  McCurdy's 
Hambletonian  2:26%,  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire- Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood, etc.  Hence  from  hjs  dams  have  come 
two  great  families— the  Belmont-Nutwood 
and  the  Pancoast-Patron-Patronage-Prodi- 
gal  families.  The  dam  or  the  sire  and  the 
dams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sires.  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  dam  of  Cupid  2:18,  who 
produced  well;  Lady  Bunker,  the  dam  of  Guy 
Wilkes,  was  the  dam  of  Wm  L.,  sire  of  Astel, 
and  El  Mahdi  2:2oH  and  Declaration,  who 
were  each  the  sire  of  several  good  ones:  Dolly, 
the  dam  of  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
9:25U  and  Thorndale  2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  colt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  holders.  They  have  also  produced 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
levelheaded  and  the  largest  money  winners 
in  the  trotting  world.  The  first  four  trace  in 
the  male  line  to  Hambletonian  10  through 
ancestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandsires.  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  sis  crosses  of  Hambletonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  producing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  each  of  which  goes  to  him  through 
dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 


Individually,  this  young  stallion.  DILLCARA.  is  as  good  as  his  pedigree  He  is  of  the  stout 
blocky  type,  without  coarseness,  and  he  is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  of  natural  speed.  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  hands  of  a  trainer  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecting  that  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McRinney.  Director.  Direct  and 
Nutwood,  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 

PUrD°ILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Francisco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SERVICE  FEE  S40.

30-yard  mark,  receiving  the  Gilman  &  Barnes  Trophy,  which  is  the  emblem  of  this  championship.  The  weather  conditions  under  which  this  match  was  shot  were 
severe  enough  to  test  the  eye  and  nerve  of  the  greatest  expert — and  the  experts  were  there.  This,  of  course,  reflects  great  credit  upon  Mr.  Bennett's  skill,  but — sup- 
pose he  had  used  unreliable  or  inferior  shells?  Skill  in  shooting  is  of  little  avail  if  faulty  ammunition  is  used.  Mr.  Bennett  looked  out  for  that  part  of  it,  and  supplied 
himself  with  the  best  shells  he  could  buy,  so  as  not  to  take  any  chances;  In  other  words,  he  used  Winchester  "Leader"  Shells,  which  are  unequaled  for  reliability 
under  any  conditions.  Winchester  "Leader" Shells  were  also  used  by  Alec  Tolsma,  who  won  high  average  the  first  day,  and  by  Chas.  Spencer,  who  won  high  average 
the  second  day  with  a  straight  score  of  25  birds,  which  was  remarkable  shooting  under  the  circumstances.  If  you  are  not  satisfied  with  your  shooting,  the  trouble 
may  be  with  your  "load."    Next  time  you  shoot,  change  to  Winchester  Shells  and  you  will  never  change  again;  for  they  are 

THE     SHELLS     THAT     WIN     THE      TROPHIES     AND     THE     AVERAGES     TOO.

EVER  USED  ON  HORSES'  FEET. 

IT  PENETRATES  and  DRIES  IN  Quickly  and  DOES 
NOT  GUM  and  FILL  UP  THE  PORES  like  tar  and  oil 
compounds.  It  is  the  GREATEST  REMEDY  ever  used  to 
remove  SORENESS  and  FEVER  from  the  foot,  and  makes  it 
possible  to  get  good  services  out  of  a  horse  working  on  hard 
and  hot  pavements. 

It  gives  natural  nourishment  to  the  foot  and  incites  a 
rapid,  healthy  growth— ALL  DRYNESS  AND  BRITTLE- 
NESS  quicklv  disappears. 

QUARTER  CRACKS  and  SAND  CRACKS  are  rapidly 
grown  out  when  directions  given  in  our  booklet  are  followed.

and  HEALTHY  FROG— A  FOOT  WHICH  WILL  STAND

Many  of  the  best  owners  and  trainers  state  that  for  track 
work  nothing  equals  it.  In  many  cases  horses  have  reduced 
their  records  several  seconds,  due  to  its  use. 

It  is  a  CER1  AIN  CURE  for  THRUSH  and  SCRATCHES

THE  MONEY  is  in  sight— $14,500  of  it,  and  it  is  to 
be  distributed  at  the  Breeders  Meeting.  Now,  if 
you  will  stop  and  think  the  matter  over,  you  will  be 
ready  to  acknowledge  that  every  person  who  owns  a 
trotter  or  pacer  and  believes  good  racing  tends  to 
improve  the  breed  of  borses  and  also  to  improve  prices 
should  do  what  is  in  his  power  to  make  the  entry  lists 
large.  Every  successful  meeting  helps  the  business 
of  breeding  trotters  and  pacers  Successful  meetings 
can  only  be  held  when  there  are  good  lists  of  entries 
to  start  with.  If  you  are  a  stallion  owner,  you  should 
get  those  who  own  his  get  to  enter  them  in  these 
stakes  and  you  should  make  as  many  entries  as  pos- 
sible yourself.  If  you  are  an  owner  of  one  or  more 
horses  that  you  would  like  to  see  lead  their  fields  to 
the  wire  while  the  crowd  cheers  their  gameness  and 
speed,  enter  them  in  these  events  and  you  may  enjoy 
that  privilege.  If  you  are  a  trainer  get  in  and  boost 
every  program  for  all  you  aro  worth.  Don't  sit  down 
and  growl  because  there  is  no  class  given  which  just 
fits  your  horse's  record,  but  enter  in  the  nearest  class 
to  which  he  is  eligible  and  then  try  to  win  the  purse 
If  you  are  simply  an  admirer  of  the  harness  horse  and 
don't  happen  to  own  one  just  now,  buy  one  if  you  can 
before  April  3d  and  get  into  the  game.  It  will  do  you 
good  and  make  you  live  longer.  If  you  can't  buy  a 
horse,  boost  the  game  any  way  and  tell  your  friends 
who  are  owners  to  enter  in  some  of  the  purses.  Now 
is  the  time  for  every  person  who  enjoys  good  harness 
racing  to  get  in  and  speak  a  good  word  for  the  Cali- 
fornia circuit  which  is  bound  to  be  a  success  this  j ear 
if  the  Breeders  Association  gets  a  good  entry  list  for 
its  purses  as  its  program  is  the  firBt  to  close,  and  a 
good  list  will  encourage  other  associations  to  arrange 
meetings.  


THE  THREE-HEAT  PLAN  has  been  selected  for 
the  two  big  opening  events  of  the  harness  racing 
season  of  1905  on  the  Grand  Circuit — the  Merchants' 
and  Manufacturers'  $10,000  for  2:24  class  trotters,  and 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  $5000  stake  for  the  2:24 
class  pacers.    These  races  have  heretofore  been  on 


the  three-in-five  plan,  and  have  in  nearly  every  in- 
stance resulted  in  good  contests  for  years  past.  In 
1900,  when  Bonnie  Direct  won  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce after  six  heats  had  been  paced,  he  would  not 
have  been  in  the  monev  had  the  three  heat  plan  been 
in  vogue  as  he  was  9-5-8  in  the  first  three  heats.  The 
same  year  the  M.  and  M.  required  six  heats  to  decide 
and  was  won  by  Lady  Geraldine.  According  to  the 
three-heat  plan,  Battlesign,  who  won  the  first  heat, 
was  third  in  the  second  and  then  drawn,  getting  no 
money,  would  have  won  a  considerable  amount  The 
C  of  C.  of  1901  was  won  by  Star  Pugh  in  straight 
heats  and  Harry  Logan  was  second  each  time,  so  the 
three-heat  plan  would  not  have  made  much  difference 
with  them,  although  the  others  would  have  divided 
very  differently.  The  same  year  Eleata  won  the  M. 
and  M.  in  straight  heats.  In  1D02,  the  C.  of  C.  went 
to  Direct  Hal  in  straight  heats  with  Elderone  second 
eaoh  time,  while  the  blind  horse  Rhythmic  annexed 
the  big  end  of  the  M.  and  M.  also  in  three  straight 
heats.  Elastic  Pointer  got  first  money  in  1903  after 
five  heats  of  fast  pacing  in  the  C.  of  C.  and  his  posi- 
tions in  the  first  three  heats  were  1-2-7,  so  it  will 
readily  be  seen  that  the  new  plan  would  have  made  a 
hig  difference  in  the  amount  he  won.  John  Taylor, 
the  gray  gelding  by  Dispute,  had  a  hard  time  beating 
Wainscot  in  the  M.  and  M.  that  year,  his  heat  posi- 
tions being  1-2-8-1-1  while  Wainscot's  were  2-1-1-2-2, 
so  the  three-heat  plan  would  have  given  the  latter  the 
big  end  of  the  stake  that  year.  Little  difference  in 
the  division  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  money  last 
year  would  have  resulted  had  it  been  according  to  the 
new  system,  as  Baron  Gratton  was  2-1-1,  while  Morn- 
ing Star  was  1-4-2,  Ethel  Mc  3-2-4,  and  West  4-3-3, 
and  all  the  rest  distanced  the  first  heat.  The  M.  and 
M.  went  to  Sttnley  Dillon  in  straight  heats,  Ruth  C. 
second  each  time,  so  that  the  three-heat  plan  would 
have  made  but  little  change  in  it.  The  feature  of  the 
new  plan  that  will  appeal  to  a  large  number  is  that 
there  are  more  chances  to  win  a  part  of  the  purse  than 
in  the  old  style  three-in-five.  It  will  do  away  with 
long  drawn  contests  and  this  will  suit  the  public  but 
whether  it  will  please  the  horse  owners  remains  to  be 
seen.  It  is  worth  a  trial  and  we  do  not  expect  to  see 
any  falling  off  fn  the  number  of  entries  received  for 
the  two  big  stakes  of  the  Detroit  Driving  Club  this 
year.  


THERE  IS  good  common  sense  in  the  following 
from  the  pen  of  Henry  White:  "Too  many 
people,  in  considering  the  question  of  speed  in  ani- 
mals intended  for  breeding  purposes,  overlook  the 
fact  that  the  2:30  standard  is  a  purely  arbitrary  one. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  a  horse  that  can  show  a  three 
minute  gait  is  going  along  some,  as  twenty  miles  an 
hour  is  considerably  faster  than  most  people  care  to 
ride  on  the  road.  Some  of  the  most  successful 
breeders  of  trotters  would  sooner  mate  a  couple  of 
horses  each  capable  of  2:40  speed  that  were  good 
gaited  and  did  the  work  as  though  they  liked  it 
than  a  pair  with  2:30  records  if  the  latter  two  were 
obliged  to  be  rigged  with  a  variety  of  boots,  weights 
and  checks  before  they  could  do  the  2:30  trick.  A 
"made"  trotter  is  not  nearly  as  apt  to  sire  or  pro- 
duce sieed  as  the  one  with  a  slower  rate  of  speed 
that  took  to  the  game  naturally.  It  is  on  this  line 
of  reasoning  that  stallions  capable  ©f  going  fast  at 
two  or  three  years  of  age  are  sought  after  by 
breeders  who  have  >:iven  the  theory  and  practice 
of  breeding  for  speed  more  than  a  superficial  ex- 
amination, and  they  are  the  great  siresof  the  future." 


THE  LAW  appropriating  $60,000  for  buildings  on 
the  new  State  Fair  grounds  at  Sacramento, 
which  has  been  signed  by  the  Governor,  has  a  section 
which  prohibits  all  kinds  of  betting  on  races  held  on 
the  property  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society.  Not 
only  is  it  made  a  misdemeanor  to  bet  on  the  races,  but 
any  officer  or  employee  of  the  Board  who  permits  any 
betting  to  be  eari  ied  on,  within  the  grounds,  is  liable 
to  a  fine  of  $500.  Racing  is  not  prohibited,  however, 
and  the  association  will  doubtless  build  a  track  and 
hold  the  Occident  and  Stanford  stakes,  and  perhaps  a 
program  of  other  harness  races,  but  the  owDers  of 
running  horses  will  doubtless  give  the  State  Fair  the 
go-by  as  long  as  the  present  law  is  in  force. 


Kinney  Lou  Making  a  Good  Season. 

Budd  Doble's  great  trotter  Kinney  Lou  2:07j  by 
McKinney  2:11J  is  very  popular  with  the  breeders  and 
has  over  twenty  mares  already  booked.  Among  those 
who  have  sent  well  bred  mares  to  Kinney  Lou  this 
year  are  Messrs.  A  L.  Reed,  James  Coffin,  H.Scott, 
E.W.Clayton,  Rich.  De  Bernardi.  J.  F.  Colombert, 
Geo.  W.  Theurekauf,  A  M.  Fosdick,  J.C.  Mowry, 
T.  W.  Barstow,  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez,  M.  L.  Lusk,  W. 
B.  Humphreyville,  P  W.  Bellingall,  S.  Christenson, 
and  others.  Mares  by  Simmons,  Sidney,  Nutwood 
Wilkes,  Secretary,  Nearest,  James  Madison,  Sultan, 


Iran  Alto,  Jim  Mulvenna,  Direct,  Abhotsford,  Bay- 
wood,  Oro  Wilkes,  Seymour  Wilkes,  Dexter  Prince, 
Dictatus,  Poloma  Prince  Bnd  other  well  known  stal- 
lions are  among  those  sent  to  the  court  of  the  fastest 
stallion  of  tbe  McKinney  family  and  a  finer  looking 
collection  of  broodmares  would  he  hard  to  find  in  any 
oountry.  Mr.  Doble  made  a  trade  the  other  day  which 
he  has  been  figuring  on  ever  since  to  see  just  how  he 
stands  in  the  matter.  He  bred  two  mares  to  Kinney 
Lou  last  year  on  shares  and  this  year  the  owner  came 
to  bim  before  the  mares  foaled  and  offered  to  pay  him 
$400  for  his  interest  in  the  two  foals  provided  he  would 
breed  the  mares  back  to  Kinney  Lou.  Mr.  Doble 
accepted  the  offer,  but  can't  figure  out  just  how  much 
he  got  for  his  share  in  the  unborn  foals.  Question: 
If  a  Kinney  Lou  colt  and  a  half  is  worth  three  hundred 
and  a  half  a  month  and  a  half  before  it  is  foaled,  how 
much  will  it  he  worth  in  a  year  and  a  half  if  Kinney 
Lou  trots  in  2:011  in  1906?

Alta  Vela  2:11  1-4. 


Sons  of  Electioneer  are  not  numerous  in  California 
where  the  greatest  sire  of  trotters  spent  the  greater 
part  of  his  life  and  sired  nearly  all  of  his  get.  There 
are  a  few  remaining,  however,  and  among  them  is  Mr. 
F.  Gommet's  Alta  Vela  2:11  J,  the  best  gaited  Election- 
eer living.  Alta  Vela  is  a  racehorse,  game  as  a  pebble 
and  while  his  opportunities  in  the  stud  have  been 
very  limited  he  has  quite  a  number  of  colts  that  are 
being  trained  and  will  make  their  mark.  Alta  Vela 
iB  now  in  charge  of  Messrs.  Zibbell  &  Son  at  their  new 
stables  672  Eleventh  avenue,  just  back  of  the  Chutes, 
when  he  can  be  seen  at  any  time.  Alta  Vela  is  out  of 
a  great  broodmare  by  Piedmont  and  his  grandam  was 
also  a  great  broodmare.  Breeders  should  not  over- 
look him.  

Good  Chance  to  Buy  Draft  Horses. 

Down  at  San  Jose,  Mr.  C.  O.  Stanton,  manager  for 
the  well  known  breeding  and  importing  firm  of  Sing- 
master  &  Sons, has  twenty  head  of  first  class  stallions, 
mostly  Percherons,  and  we  would  advise  any  of  our 
readers  wanting  draft  horses  to  pay  San  Jose  a  visit 
and  look  these  stallions  over.  There  are  a  number  of 
very  handsome  blacks,  and  some  dark  grays.  Don't 
ever  overlook  a  good  gray  Percheron.  Grays  sell  as 
well  as  any  other  color  when  tbe  conformation  is 
right,  and  we  believe  there  are  more  well  formed  gray 
Percherons  than  those  of  any  other  color.  Read  the 
advertisement  that  Mr.  Stanton  publishes  in  our 
columns  this  week. 

Trotting  and  draft  horses  are  not  the  only  pebbles 
on  the  equine  beach  at  present.     At  a  sale  in  Montana 
the  other  day  twenty-nine  jacks  sold  for   upwards    o 
$24,000,  ranging  from  $700    to  $1405,  and    twenty-Din 
head  of  jennies  were  sold  for  $7000  the  top  price  $850 


JackBOn's  Napa  Soda  is  sold  in    every    dty,   tow*

LOS   ANGELES   TAKES   THE  LEAD. 


PROSPECTS  ARE  BRIGHTENING.  The  Cali- 
fornia Circuit  is  out  of  the  embryotic  state  and 
is  assumiog  shape.  It  begins  to  look  as  though  it 
would  be  the  best  in  years,  and  compare  favorably 
with  the  best  in  "the  old  days."  The  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  started  the  ball 
with  $14,500  in  purses  and  stakes  for  a  four  days' 
meeting,  and  now  the  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse 
Association  has  been  organized  with  a  directorate 
composed  of  the  wealthiest  and  most  enthusiastic 
harness  horseman  in  Southern  California,  and  gone  the 
Breeders  a  few  better  by  announcing  a  sis  days 
meeting  with  $16,200  in  purses.  And  on  top  of  this 
the  Thursday  morning  dispatches  from  Sacramento 
contained  the  news  that  Governor  Pardee  has  signed 
the  bill  approprirting  $60,000  for  buildings  on  the  new 
State  Fair  grounds,  and  there  is  every  probability 
that  a  good  State  Fair  will  be  given  with  a  program 
ot  harness  races. 


So  there  is  $30,700  in  sight  for  harness  horses  at 
two  meetings,  with  the  State  Fair,  Woodland,  Pleas- 
anton,  Fresno,  San  Jose,  Santa  Rosa,  Vallejo  and 
Santa  Ana  to  hear  from.  As  at  least  four  of  these 
places  are  certain  to  give  good  meetings  this  year, 
the  outlook  is  certainly  good  for  all  horsemen  who 
want  to  race  out  here  on  the  Coast.  Los  Angeles 
will  give  a  fall  meeting  in  November,  at  which  big 
purses  will  be  given  and  an  effort  made  to  secure  a 
number  of  fast  ones  from  the  Eastern  tracks. 

The  officials  selected  for  the  new  association  in  Los 
Angeles  are  the  right  sort  of  men.  Mr.  C.  A.  Canfield, 
the  President,  is  not  only  a  great  lover  of  harness 
horses  and  the  owner  of  several  good  ones,  but  he  is  a 
very  wealthy  gentleman  who  is  willing  to  devote  part 
of  his  lime  and  energy  to  the  furtherance  of  harness 
horse  interests.  Mr.  Wm.  Garland, the  Vice-President, 
is  a  millionaire  mining  man  and  is  the  owner  of  the 
champion  trotter  Sweet  Marie  2:04J.  Mr.  L.  J.  Chris- 
topher is  also  a  wealthy  man  and  an  enthusiastic 
horseman  who,  like  the  President  and  Vice-President, 
is  a  prominent  member  of  the  Amateur  Driving  Asso- 
ciation of  Los  Angeles.  In  electing  Mr.  A.  W.  Brunei- 
Secretary,  the  association  has  made  an  excellent  selec. 
tion.  Mr.  Bruoer  thoroughly  understands  clerical 
duties  and  has  a  practical  knowledge  of  the  harness 
horse  businees  as  well.  He  is  an  energetic  and  tireless 
worker,  and  proposes  to  visit  every  training  track  in 
the  state  before  entries  close,  to  solicit  entries  for  the 
Los  Angeles  meeting.  May  success  attend  his  efforts 
and  may  the  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association 
secure  the  biggest  list  of  entries  ever  received  by  a 
California  association  is  my  earnest  wish.  Men  who 
put  their  money  behind  such  an  enterprise  should 
receive  the  support  of  every  horseman  on  the 
Coast. 


Because  Los  Angeles  is  four  hundred  miles  from 
San  Francisco  is  no  reason  why  horsemen  training  in 
this  section  of  California  should  not  race  down  there. 
The  expenses  of  shipping  horses  from  this  city  to  Los 
Angeles  are  not  great.  It  only  costs  six  or  seven 
dollars  per  horse  when  they  go  by  the  carload,  and  I 
have  no  doubt  but  the  enterprising  officers  of  the  new 
association  will  get  a  special  rate  over  the  railroads 
ihat  will  make  the  round  trip  a  very  inexpensive  one. 
Then  it  is  more  than  likely  that  Santa  Ana  will  hold 
a  meeting  just  following  the  one  at  Los  Angeles,  and 
if  the  Fresno  people  would  take  the  week  following 
Santa  Ana,  for  a  meeting  under  the  auspices  of  a 
local  organization,  or  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  tie 
shipments  would  not  be  very  long  or  very  expensive 
between  any  two  points  on  the  circuit,  as  PleasantOD, 
San  Jose,  Santa  Rosa,  Vallejo,  Woodland  and  the 
State  Fair  could  follow  in  the  order  given,  thus  bring- 
lng  the  State  Fair  about  the  first  week  in  September, 
which  is  the  usual  plan. 


It  is  to  be  sincerely  hoped  that  the  Directors  of  the 
State  Board  of  Agriculture  will  not  try  to  give  a  two 
weeks  fair  this  year  or  at  any  other  time.  One  week 
is  enough  and  there  is  no  reason  why  a  one  week  fair 
should  not  pay  a  profit  instead  of  running  the  asso- 
ciation in  debt  as  has  been  the  case  with  fairs  that 
ran  for  two  weeks.  Every  person  making  exhibits  at 
the  State  Fair,  and  every  other  person  connected 
with  the  institution,  except  the  concessionaires  and 
those  on  the  pay  roll,  is  of  the  opinion  that  one  week 
is  sufficient. 

Flya  pay.  the  colt  by  Azmoor  that  Chas.  F.Silva 
has  entered  in  the  Breeders  Futurity  for  foals  of  1903, 
is  a  t;;lf  brother  to  the  $9000  Swift  B.  2:16J,  as  he  is 
out  of  Swiftbird  by  Waldstein.     Mr.  Silva  bred  Swift- 

rd  o  Stam  B.  again  last  year  and  expects  to  own,  in 
ays,  a  full  brother  or  sister  to  Swift  B. 


Secretary  Walter  J.  Snyder  of  The  Detroit  Driving 
Club  has  announced  the  stakes  for  the  Great  Blue 
Ribbon  Meeting  the  week  of  July  24-29. 

The  $10,000  Merchants'  and  Manufacturers'  Stake, 
2:24  class  tret,  and  the  $5000  Chamber  of  Commerce 
Stake,  2:24  class  pace,  are  the  offerings. 

Both  of  these  classics  will  be  raced  on  the  three-heat 
plan.  By  adopting  this  plan  Secretary  Snyder  has 
met  the  popular  demand  of  owners  and  trainers 
especially  those  who  prepare  their  horses  in  the 
Northern  climate. 

Under  the  new  plan  the  latter  trained  horse  meets 
the  Southern  trained  one  in  equally  as  good  condition 
to  engage  in  a  turf  battle  of  three  heats.  Still  should 
the  Northern  trained  horse  be  a  trifle  shorter  in  his 
work  than  the  trainer  believed  and  meet  defeat  in  the 
third  heat,  he  has  won  the  bulk  of  the  money  and  the 
race  providing  he  has  captured  the  first  two  heats. 
By  paying  $1300  to  the  winner  of  each  heat,  $700  to 
the  second  and  $500  to  the  third  horse  in  the  M.  and 
M.  and  one-half  of  each  of  these  amounts  in  the  C.  of 
C,  it  can  readily  be  seen  that  nine  chances  are  offered 
in  the  three  heats  to  win  a  portion  of  the  puise,  and 
with  the  Consolation  Race,  nine  more  chances  are 
offered  making  a  total  of  eighteen  chances  to  win  a 
portion  of  the  stake. 

Should  a  horse  win  a  heat  or  any  portion  of  it,  to 
be  later  distanced,  he  will  always  receive  the  money 
he  won  prior  to  finishing  behind  the  flag.  Horsemen 
at  a  glance  can  realize  what  the  value  of  such  con- 
ditions mean  to  the  right  side  of  their  ledger.  It  has 
often  been  the  case  of  the  best  horse  in  the  race  meet- 
ing defeat  through  circumstances  which  lost  him  the 
third  heat  and  sometimes  being  distanced.  The 
entries  close  Thursday,  April  6th,  when  horses  must 

be  named.

Equine  Affections. 

Is  the  infatuation  of  her  valet  and  grief  which  fol- 
lowed the  separation  from  another  little  friend  respon- 
sible for  Lou  Dillon's  defeat  by  Major  Delmar  in  the 
Memphis  Gold  Cup,  and  can  equine  femininity  form 
attachment  for  a  human  being  which  will  be  followed 
by  sorrow  accompanying  the  separation? 

These  are  the  questions  that  have  been  started  at 
Memphis  and  which  have  produced  arguments  from 
many  ho  rsemen  and  from  Millard  Sanders,  who  handles 
Lou  Dillon,  and  brought  her  from  California  and 
planted  her  in  the  present  high  position  she  holds  in 
the  harness  world.  The  trotting  queen  has  been 
separated  from  a  valet  for  whom  she  snowed  a  peculiar 
attachment  for  over  a  year.  Her  former  attendant 
lived  in  Peoria,  111.,  and  gave  up  his  position  to  study 
stenography  at  his  home.  Sanders  says  that  never 
was  there  more  attachment  formed  or  closer  friend- 
ship existing  between  any  pair  of  chumsthan  betweeD 
Tommy  vVaugh  and  Lou  Dillon. 

"Waugh  seemed  to  have  a  spell  over  her,"  said 
Sanders.  "He  was  th9  only  man  on  earth  I  would 
have  trusted  Lou  with  without  a  bridle.  But  with 
or  without  a  halter  she  would  follow  Tommy  any- 
where. She  seemed  to  know  he  was  her  good  friend 
and  since  they  parted  I  have  noticed  that  Lou  has 
showed  that  she  felt  the  separation  in  many  ways. 
Shelikes  her  present  attendant  all  right  and  there  is 
nothing  that  he  can  do  that  he  does  not  do  for  Lou's 
comfort,  but  some  sort  of  life  partnership  seemed  to 
exist  between  the  former  boy  and  the  help  around  the 
stable  has  also  noticed  it." 

Animal  affection  has  often  puzzled  horsemen.  Or- 
nament, the  quadruple  Western  derby  winner  and 
conqueror  of  the  best  in  the  East,  grieved  so  after 
being  separated  from  a  yellow  dog,  which  had  been 
his  stall  mate  for  a  year,  that  the  dog  was  hunted  up 
and  returned.  Highball,  the  last  American  Derby 
winner,  had  his  roommate  in  "Doc, "  a  small  ordinary 
cur,  and  when  Highball  was  being  trained  here  last 
spring  for  his  ill-fated  season,  "Doc"  was  always 
escorted  to  the  railing  of  the  track,  and  with  an 
attendant  was  held  so  that  Highball  could  see 
him  when  taking  his  morning  work.  Other  noted 
thoroughbreds  have  had  their  bosom  companions, 
but  the  theory  that  Lou  Dillon's  grief  over  the  loss  of 
her  valet  is  the  first  ever  offered,  probably  explaining 
the  reversal  of  form  by  a  trainer  or  runner. 

Lou  Dillon  was  also  very  fond  of  Millard  Sanders, 
Jr.,  and  for  several  months  she  has  not  been  within 
hundreds  of  miles  of  the  little  fellow.  Trainer  San- 
ders says  that  Waugh  and  Sarders,  Jr.,  are  the  only 
persons  he  has  ever  seen  that  the  trotting  queen 
showed  particular  attention  to. — Chicago  Horseman. 

Murray  Howe  of  Memphis  last  week  purchased 
from  Fred  Cline  of  Indianapolis  the  gray  trotting

Boy  wa6  a  consistent  winner  on  the  Gas  Belt  Circuit 
last  season  and  Is  considered  a  sure  2:10  trotter.  It  is 
understood  that  Howe  was  acting  for  F.G.Jones  of 
Memphis. 


Newly   Organized    Association    to    Give    Spring 
and  Fall  Meetings  with  fiooo   Purses. 

California  will  have  a  good  circuit  of  harness  racing 
this  year  which  will  open  July  3d  at  Los  Angeles  with 
a  six  days  meeting  at  which  all  the  purses  for  aged 
horses  will  be  $1000  each.  The  following  letter  is  self- 
explanatory: 

Los  Angeles,  March  20,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman:  — The  Lob 
Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association  was  organized 
March  18,  1905,  and  the  following  named  well-known 
gentlemen  elected  as  its  officers: 

C.  A.  Canfield,  President. 

Wm.  Garland,  Vice-President. 

A.  W.  Bruner,  Secretary  and  Manager. 

L.  J.  Christopher,  Treasurer. 

The  Association  was  organized  for  the  purpose  of 
helping  and  encouraging  in  every  way  possible  the 
breeding  and  development  of  the  harness  horse  aid 
harness  horse  interests. 

The  association  will  offer  purses  of  sufficient  magi  I- 
tude  to  be  competed  for  at  its  July  and  November 
meetings  of  each  year  that  will  draw  the  horses  frcm 
Northern  California,  Oregon  and  Washington.  AIeo 
Grand  Circuit  performers  for  its  November  meetings, 
which  will  insure  contests  of  the  highest  order. 

Besides  the  liberal  purses  the  association  will  offer 
for  its  November  meetings  it  is  the  intention  to  offer 
valuable  cups  to  be  competed  for  by  gentlemen  owners 
with  their  matinee  trotters  and  pacers,  hitched  to 
wagons. 

What  could  there  be  offered  that  would  be  more 
pleasing  or  create  more  interest  in  the  way  of  harness 
horse  competition  than  a  race  of  this  kind,  Sweet 
Marie,  Lou  Dillon  and  Master  Delmar  as  contestants, 
owners  driving? 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  association  to  open  tie 
California  Circuit  with  a  meeting  at  Agricultural 
Park,  Los  Angeles,  the  week  of  July  3d  to  8th. 

Liberal  purses  will  be  offered  for  two  year-old 
trotters,  two-year-old  pacers,  three-year-old  trotters 
and  three-year-old  pacers.  All  class  races  will  be  ff  r 
$1000  purses,  three  races  per  day,  classes  so  arranged 
that  a  horse  can  take  part  in  two  events  during  the 
week. 

Programme  stating  conditions  with  full  information 
will  appear  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  in  a 
few  days.  Horses  now  in  California  being  prepared 
for  the  Grand  Circuit  can  remain  in  California  and 
take  part  in  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  and  ship  direct 
to  Detroit  and  have  ten  days  to  two  weeks  rest  before 
the  opening  meeting  of  the  Grand  .Circuit  the  last

Breeder  and  Sportsman: — In  the  columns  of  the 
last  number  of  the  BREEDER  AND  SPORTSMAN  I  told 
a  little  story  about  a  foui-year-old  filly  by  Athadon 
2:27,  dam  by  McKinney  2:11J,  second  dam  by  Cal. 
Nutwood.  It  now  develops  that  there  is  a  little  side 
issue  to  the  story  of  Mollie  McK  (formerly  called 
Mollie  L.,  name  changed  by  myself  because  of  the 
blood  of  the  great  McKinney  that  I  supposed  flowed 
in  her  veins).  I  cannot  at  this  time  give  in  detail  how 
I  and  others  have  been  mislead  in  regard  to  her  breed- 
ing and  when  Idol  hope  it  will  show  that  no  one 
willfully  misrepresented  the.  pedigree  of  her  dam. 
Her  correct  breeding  is  as  follows:  Sired  by  Athadon 
(1)  2:27,  first  dam  by  California  Nutwood,  second  dam 
by  Naubuc  Jr.,  third  dam  by  Billy  Hayward.  Poor 
Mollie  has  no  right  to  the  McK.  She  has  been  robbed 
of  the  heritage  which  she  didn't  inherit,  but  her  sire 
was  a  "King  and  a  champion  of  royal  blood"  and  I 
expect  his  daughter  to  "make  good"  although  she 
does  not  carry  the  popular  blood  of  the  famous  sire 
McKinney.  I  had  evidence  that  made  me  absolutely 
certain  that  she  was  bred  as  I  first  gave  it.  This  case 
is  another  illustration  of  how  very  necessary  it  is  to 
obtain  authentic  facts  concerning  a  pedigree  before 
it  can  be  considered  reliable.  C.  C.  Crippen.

ON    THE    WING. 

San  Jose  Training  Notes. 

[By  Our  Special  Correspondent.] 

San  Jose,  March  22 — Very  heavy  rains  and  the 
mud  that  goes  with  it  have  put  speed  making  out  of 
the  question  at  the  San  Jose  track  for  the  past  week 
and  the  trainers  have  been  forced  to  content  them- 
selves with  long  rides  up  the  road  and  jogging  on  an 
improvised  quarter-mile  circle  under  the  trees.  Now 
about  the  first  thing  a  visitor  to  the  track  thinks 
of  is  Lou  Dillon,  so  a  word  or  two  in  regard  to  the 
famous  little  lady  will  be  the  proper  caper.  From  the 
way  she  is  being  worked  it  would  be  hard  to  tell 
whether  she  was  a  champion  or  some  young  prospect 
as  she  has  been  repeated  but  twice  and  thf  fastest 
mile  credited  to  her  since  last  fall  is  2:40.  This,  how- 
ever, does  not  mean  that  Mr  Doble  is  not  giving  her 
work  aud  plenty  of  it  for  her  daily  portion  ranges 
from  eight  to  eighteen  miles,  rain  or  shine,  and  the 
greater  part  of  this  muscle  making  process  has  been 
done  over  the  pretty  roads  of  Santa  Clara  county. 
One  of  Mr.  Doble's  chief  aims  with  Lou  Dillon  has 
been  to  overcome  that  fretfulness  and  nervousness  for 
which  she  has  always  been  noted,  and  he  has  surely 
been  handsomely  rewarded,  although  his  task  has 
been  tiresome  and  nerve  sti  aining.  He  has  walked  her 
for  hours  at  a  time,  coaxed  and  talked  to  her  with 
wonderful  patience,  until  now  he  has  the  satisfaction 
of  knowing  that  she  will  answer  his  every  command 
and  can  be  turned  at  any  part  of  the  road  and  easily 
driven  on  the  trot  at  any  rate  of  speed.  She  looks 
stronger  and  more  rugged  than  she  ever  did  and  in 
fact  is  really  bigger  than  ever  as  she  now  tips  the 
beam  at  865  pounds,  and  it  can  hardly  be  expected 
that  she  carries  any  surplus  avoirdupois  ae  her  daily 
rations  have  consisted  of  four  quarts  of  oats  with  only 
a  fair  allowance  of  alfalfa.  She  looks  good  to  say  the 
least,  as  her  picture  on  the  title  page  well  show,  and 
there  can  be  no  question  about  her  being  in  the  pink 
of  condition  when  she  leaves  San  Jose.  Nothing  can 
be  said  as  to  the  plans  for  her  during  the  coming 
summer  and  at  present  this  is  an  unsettled  matter, 
Mr.  Billings  came  to  California  a  month  ago  for  a 
visit  and  took  up  his  residence  at  Santa  Clara,  but  he 
was  called  East  unexpectedly  after  paying  one  very 
brief  visit  to  Budd  Doble  and  Lou  Dillon. 

Those  who  saw  Kinney  Lou  2:07|  race  down  the 
Grand  Circuit  in  1903  would  hardly  know  the  famous 
son  of  MoKinney  now  as  he  haB  broadened  out  and 
developed  into  a  magnificent  big  stallion  that  tips  the 
scales  at  1100  or  thereabouts,  and  is  evidently  still 
growing.  He  looks  as  trim  and  slick  as  they 
make  them  and  is  as  sound  as  the  day  he  was  foaled. 
Mr.  Doble  will  make  a  full  season  with  him  this  year 
but  will  race  him  down  the  Grand  Circuit  in  1906  and 
gives  fair  warning  to  all  owners  of  2:08  trotters. 

Mr.  Doble  has  several  likely  green  ones  in  his  charge 
and  is  very  sweet  on  a  couple  of  them.  He  has  Kinney 
Al  (4)  by  McKinney,  dam  by  Altamont,  that  worked 
in  2:16£,  last  half  in  1:06,  last  year;  Ellis  N.  a  five-year- 
old  pacing  mare  by  Cupid,  dam  by  McKinney;  Parker 
McKinney  (5)  by  McKinney,  dam  by  Dexter  Prince; 
Grace,  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Mcnbells,  out  of  an 
Electioneer  mare;  and  a  promising  green  trotting 
mare  by  a  son  of  Guy  Wilkes,  dam  by  Seale's  Elmo. 

C.  H.  Durfee  is  managing  a  quartette  of  as  good 
stallions  as  can  be  found  on  the  Coast  and  the  pros- 
pects are  bright  for  a  very  big  season.  In  the  same 
stall  where  stood  McKinney  for  two  years,  can  be 
found  his  son  Coronado  2:12£,  a  princelj  big  horse  and 
one  that  is  more  like  his  sire  in  conformation,  color 
and  gait  than  any  other  living.  Next  is  the  game  race 
horse  Petigru  2:10$  by  Kingward,  out  of  the  great 
broodmare  Lemonade  and  then  comes  the  handsome 
black  four-year-old  colt  Almaden  (2)  2:22£,  by  Direct 
out  of  a  McKinney  mare,  winner  of  the  Breeders 
Futurity  in  1903  and  the  Occident  Stake  in  1904.  He 
is  a  strikingly  handsome  young  horae  and  will 
undoubtedly  develop  into  a  successful  sire  as  be  com- 
bines the  blood  of  two  of  the  greatest  race  winning 
families.  The  fourth  is  Galindo,  a  handsome  three- 
year-old  bay  colt  by  McKinney  and  about  the  best 
bred  one  living,  as  bis  dam  Elsie  is  dam  of  five  per- 
formers; grandam  Elaine  2:20,  dam  of  four,  and  his 
third  dam  is  Green  Mountain  Maid  the  dam  of  nine. 
A  number  of  hig-h  class  mares  have  been  booked  to 
each  of  these  horses  and  the  lot  includes  some  race 
mares  and  great  broodmares. 

Jack  Phippen,  who  ror  many  years  was  in  the  em- 
ploy of  Palo  Alto  Farm  and  later  with  Col.  Exall  in 
Texas,  is  training  the  largest  string  at  the  track,  and 
he  now  has  about  sixteen  horses  in  his  charge.  His 
lot  includes  the  following:  Milbrae  2:16J  by  Prince 
Airlie,  out  of  Fearless  by  Fallis.  that  trotted   better 


than  2:12  last  fall;  James  Coffin's  three-year-old  colt 
Admiral  Togo  (2)  2:29|  by  Iran  Alto,  dam  Arial  2:16| 
by  Bernal;  a  two-year-old  colt  by  Mendocino,  dam 
Mary  Osborne  by  Azmoor,  also  owned  by  Mr.  CoffiD; 
Red  Ruff,  a  six-year  old  black  mare  by  Chas.  Derby, 
dam  by  Leo  Wilkes,  that  is  owned  by  Fred  Hahn  and 
trotted  a  mile  in  2:13i  last  summer;  Auge  Baron  (6) 
by  Ba.'on  Wilkes,  dam  Lady  Wilton,  dam  of  Lady 
Thisbe  2:11  J,  that  has  shown  2:08  speed  on  the  trot; 
Molly  McK.,  a  green  trotting  mare  by  Athadon,  dam 
by  California  Nutwood;  Fred  Chase  (4)  by  Welcome, 
dam  by  Jim  Lick;  F.  W.  Covey  (3)  by  Mendocino,  out 
of  Rose  McKinney  (dam  of  Almaden  (2)  2:22|)  by  Mc- 
Kinney; Chestnut  (4)  by  Inferno;  a  nice  going  bay 
mare  by  Boodle,  dam  by  Azmoor,  owned  by  Thos. 
Montgomery;  Ruby  K  ,  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Del 
Oro,  dam  by  Royal  Sid,  owned  by  Capt.  C-  H. 
Williams;  a  rangy  grey  gelding  by  Knight,  dam  Algra 
by  Algona;  and  a  handsome  black  mare  by  Sidney 
Dillon,  dam  Carlotta  by  Norval.  Mr.  Phippen 's 
horses  nave  been  working  nicely  for  him  this  spring 
and  he  has  a  half  dozen  that  he  thinks  will  hold  their 
own  at  the  races. 

W  H.  Williams  is  working  a  small  but  select  string 
and  he  expects  to  be  stepping  along  pretty  lively  as 
soon  a3  the  track  will  allow  it.  He  has  the  brown 
pacing  gelding  Motanic  by  Chehalis  2:04J,  dam  by 
Hamboy,  that  worked  in  2:13  last  year;  El  Carmel,  a 
three-year-old  by  Monterey,  out  of  Miss  GusBie,  tbat 
has  worked  quarters  at  a  2:20  gait  this  spring; 
William  L.  (4)  by  Reywood,  dam  by  Argent,  tbat  can 
shade  2:20  right  now;  a  likely  t*vo  year-old  chestnut 
filly  by  Iran  Alto  2:12$,  dam  Laura  R.  2:261-  by  Elec- 
tioneer; Daisy  Almont  (5)  by  Altamont,  owned  by  Mr. 
Brady,  Santa  Cruz;  a  two-year-old  brown  pacer  by 
Diablo;  and  a  promising  four-year  old  trotter  by 
Charles  Derby,  out  of  a  Nutwood  dam,  owned  by 
Chief  Hines  of  the  San  Jose  Fire  Department. 

Jack  Groom  has  a  stable  of  seven  head  and  from 
the  looks  of  the  layout  he  can  be  expected  to  develop 
something  of  the  sensational  kind.  In  addition  to  the 
old  war  horse  Leige2:12J  by  Lobasco,  he  is  working 
the  handsome  and  fast  four-year-old  filly  CorLelia  by 
Beau  B.  2:16^,  out  of  Lou  Milton,  dam  of  Lou  Dillon; 
Marguerite  W.  (3)  by  Exioneer,  dam  Lilly  Thorne  by 
Electioneer;  Sophia  DUIod  (2)  by  Sidney  DUIod,  dam 
By  Guy  by  Guy  Wilkes,  grandam  By  By  by  Nutwood; 
The  Winner  (5)  by  Dictatus,  dam  by  Antevolo;  Jim 
Chase  by  Secretary;  and  a  yearling  by  Monterey  out 
of  a  mare  by  Delectus.  All  are  looking  in  the  best  of 
condition  and  will  be  heard  from  later  on. 

S.  B.  Vandervoort,  of  Irvington,  has  his  handsome 
three-year-old  chestnut  colt  Sir  Charles  Valpey  at  the 
track  and  comes  over  about  twice  a  week  to  work  him* 
The  youngster  is  by  Monterey  2:09},  out  of  a  Silver 
Bow  mare,  bears  a  striking  resemblance  to  his  noted 
sire  and  is  said  to  be  developing  speed  very  fast. 

Joe  Twohig  also  of  Irvington  is  working  a  very 
promising  three-year-old  by  Monterey,  out  of  Myra 
(dam  of  George  B.  2:12£)  by  California  Nutwood. 

The  veteran  J.  W  Gordon  has  quite  a  lot  of  good 
green  ones  and  he  expects  to  make  race  horses  out  of 
several  of  them.  The  list  includes  the  Bix-year-old 
chestnut  gelding,  Billy  Murray,  by  Diablo,  dam  by 
Memo,  that  has  worked  in  2:16,  with  a  half  in  1:07; 
Harry  Moore's  bay  gelding  Boxer,  by  Boxwood,  out 
of  Dolly  (dam  of  Dolly  Dillon  2:06!)  by  Electioneer;  a 
three-year-old  filly  by  McKinney,  dam  by  Antinus;  a 
green  pacer  by  Alcyo;  a  black  trotting  gelding  by  C. 
W.  S.,  dam  by  Admiral;  and  the  bay  stallion  Silver 
Arrow  by  Silver  Bow. 

Wm.  Cecil  has  J.  C.  Mowry's  handsome  fillies  Lady 
Mowry  and  Meryl  M.  and  both  are  considered  to  be 
mighty  good  prospects.  They  are  full  sisters,  four 
and  three  years  old  respectively  and  are  by  McKinney 
out  of  Electress  2:28i  by  Nutwood  Wilkes.  Lady 
Mowry  trotted  in  2:18  in  her  three-year-old  form  and 
is  slated  for  about  2:10  this  year  and  Meryl  M.  has 
shown  speed  enough  for  her  owner  to  keep  her  "paid 
up"  in  all  the  futurities.  Mr.  Cecil  also  has  a  slick 
going  chestnut  gelding  by  Nutwood,  dam  by  Azmoor, 
tbat  he  has  great  hopes  of. 

S.  Siljan  is  training  the  bay  gelding  Birdcatcher  by 
Direct;  Beauty,  a  nice  looking  two-year-old  filly  by 
Alcyo,  dam  Ida  Belle  by  Dawn ;  and  Frank  a  chestnut 
gelding  by  Gen.  Montgomery,  dam  by  Nutwood. 
None  of  them  have  been  stepped  along  much  yet. 

Frank  Granger  who  has  several  promising  green 
ones  in  training  has  been  confined  to  his  home  for 
about  a  week. 

T.  W.  Barstow  is  located  just  outside  the  Driving 
Park  with  the  popular  young  sire  Nearest  2:22J,  a 
full  brother  to  John  A.  McKerron  2:04A,  and  the  sire 
of  Alone  2:09J  and  High  Fly  (2)  2:24J.  He  has  some 
good  mares  booked  and  will  have  a  big  season. 

Messrs.  Singmaster  &  Sons,  the  well-known  breeders 
and  importers,  of  Keota,  la.,  have  opened  a  branch 
in  San  Jose  in  charge  of  Chas.  Stanton  and  their 
efforts  in  the  matter  of  introducing  some  high-class 
heavy  horses, have  been  quite  successful.  They  handle 


Percherons,  Shires,  Belgians  and  French  Coachers  of 
the  highest  types  and  since  launching  in  the  business 
here  they  have  sold  a  score  of  stallions  at  good  prices. 
The  hobby  of  the  firm  is  the  Percheron  and  at  present 
they  have  on  hand  over  a  score  of  these  big  fellows, 
mostly  blacks  and  weighing  from  1800  to  2100  pounds 
and  prospective  buyers  can  not  fail  to  find  something 
here  to  please  them  in  both  quality  and  price.

A  Yankee  "florseshift." 


Ole  Sile  Bangs  drove  to  town  one  day, 
Holdin'  the  reins  on  a  high-checked  bay. 
Right  In  front  of  the  groc'ry  store 
He  met  Zeke  Haines,  of  Clinton  Gore— 
Haines  up-ahlnd  a  flea-bit  roan, 
Small  skrld  o'  meat  and  a  blamed  lot  o'  bone, 
And  that  high-checked  bay  looked,  honest  true, 
Like  a  cross  'tween  a  goose  and  a  kangaroo, 
"Lookin'  for  a  shift''"  asks  Bangs  of  Hainea. 
"Dunno,"  says  Zeke,  layin'  down  his  reins; 
"I'm  prutty  nigh  suit  and  I  wouldn't  give  a  hoot 
For  a  swap  'less  I  got  some  good,  big  boot." 
"Boot!"  says  Bangs;  "for  thatold  rip, 
With  a  hock  like  a  squash  and  a  knock-down  hip? 
Why,  boot,  Zeke  Haines,  ought  to  come  t'other  way- 
Just  you  lift  that  lip  and  pee-ruse  that  bay. 
Nine  years  old— not  over  ten— 
Yas,  mebbe  'leven— wal,  twelve  years,  then. 
You  can  talk  of  the  whol'  of  the  teeth  you've  seen, 
But  you  can't  budge  me  up  above  thirteen." 
"Thirteen!"  saysZeke.    "That  hoss  of  yer'n 
Is  sot  down  in  books  for  the  kids  to  learn 
That's  the  same  old  hoss  of  Paul  Revere, 
With  the  same  old  heaves  he  caught  that  year. 
My  roan,  I'll  allow,  is  gVnt  a  mite, 
But  he's  sound  and  kind  and  all  ways  right. 
Ain't  afeard  o'  nothin'— man  or  machine— 
And  he'll  walk  right  up  and  drink  gaserllne. 
He'll  road  you  a  mile  in  head-up  style. 
If  you  want  real  hoss,  it's  your  chance  now,  Sile." 

There  in^front  of  the  groc'ry  store 
They  chawed  and  they  jawed  for  an  hour  or  more, 
And  they  swapped.no  boot,  when  out  of  wind, 
Each  of  'em  reckinin'  t'other  was  skinned. 
Old  Sile  Bangs  and  old  Zeke  Haines 
Harnessed  'em  over  and  fumbled  the  reins, 
Squinted  and  peeked  a  consid'able  while; 
Took  fresh  chaws  and  thought  a  pile- 
Then  each  to  each  growled,  "Say,  we  mout 
As  well  make  sure  what's  the  special  'out'." 
"Wall,"  grinned  Zeke,  "that  roan  is  blind, 
And  he's  one  o'  the  reel  hlgh-pressur'  kind; 
You  ought  to  have  reins  like  a  three-inch  j'ist 
So't  when  he  gits  tired  you  can  give  him  a  h'ist; 
Puffs  like  a  tugb'ot— here  him  mile  away! 
Now,  what?s  the  'out'  in  this  'ere  bay?" 
He  dropped  the  reins  on  the  dashboard  rail, 
When,  whist!  around  swung  a  stubby  tail, 
Gaflled  the  webbin's  and  held  them  tight. 
And  away  Zeke  went,  slam  bang  out  o'  sight. 
Sile  peeked  after  through  the  dust, 
And  he  says,  "I'm  afeared  he's  plannin'  a  bust. 
When  he  showed  sech  hurry  in  rippin'  away 
Bang-whang  for  'lection,  I  was  'bout  to  say 
That  I'd  let  him  have  old  Iron-tail  Liz 
With  a  grip  in  her  tail  that  means  strict  biz. 
He  may— he  may  come  out  all  right, 
But  it  all  depends  where  he  happens  to  light." 
Then  old  Sile  Bangs  pinched  an  iron  strap 
On  the  wheezing  nose  and  said,  "Gid  dap!" 
Steered  by  the  reins  with  careful  lift, 
And  started  in  search  of  another  "shift."

The  Value  of  a  Stallion. 


Ad  Eastern  writer,  referriDg  to  the  death  of  Direct 
2:05J  says: 

It  is  difficult  to  estimate  the  value  of  a  stallion  like 
Direct.  Conservative  horsemen  place  it  at  $35,000, 
although  this  sum  would  not  have  induced  his  owner 
to  part  with  him.  At  the  recent  dispersal  of  Village 
Farm — the  most  valuable  trotting;  stud  then  exist- 
ing— the  two  highest  priced  horses  sold  were  a  son 
and  grandson  of  Direct.  His  paternal  half  brother 
Directum  2:05^,  was  the  highest  priced  at  the  Spier 
dispersal,  another  famous  stud.  Next  to  Lou  Dillon 
when  she  was  sold,  the  highest  priced  at  that  auc- 
tion was  hia  grandaughter  Reybel,  a  three-year-old 
green  filly  with  wonderful  speed.  Director,  sire  of 
Direct,  at  the  age  of  Bixteen  or  seventeen  years  sold 
privately  for  $75,000,  duriDg  the  boom  in  trotters;  at-d 
long  before  the  boom,  when  ihe  trotters  were  worth 
much  less  than  they  are  now,  Dictator,  grandslre  of 
Direct,  sold  in  his  twentieth  year  for  $25,000,  and 
earned  his  purchasers  a  handsome  profit,  over  and 
above  his  cost.  This  was  the  age  of  Direct  at  his 
death.  Direct  has  sired  a  much  higher  rate  of  speed 
than  Dictator,  and  they  are  just  as  game  and  good 
racehorses.  Light  harness  horses  are  worth  double 
what  they  were  twenty-two  years  ago  when  Dictator 
sold  for  for  $25,000.  On  this  basis  $50,000  is  a  reason- 
able valuation  for  Direct.  Although  a  great  loss,  with 
four  sons  to  take  his  place,  East  View  Farm  should 
not  suffer  any  as  a  breeding  establishment  and  head- 
quarters for  the  winning  blood  of  this  celebrated 
family  of  horses. 

The  dues  for  members  of  the  matinee  club  at  the 
Empire  City  track  have  been  fixed  at  $25  for  the 
comiDg  season.

healthy  look.  Get  busy  with  your  trotters  and

Mr.  G.  W.  MacDonald'a  mare  Nelly  Waldstein  by 
Waldstein,  dam  Nelly  Bly,  foaled  a  nice  filly  March 
20th,  that  is  by  the  promising  young  sire  Peter  J.  and 
is  entered  in  the  Breeders  $7000  Futurity  for  foals  of 
1905.  

The  handsome  Arabian  mare  owned  by  Mr.  L.  C. 
Gates  of  Modesto,  recently  foaled  a  black  filly  by  the 
thoroughbred  stallion  Del  Norte.  Mr.  Gates  owns  a 
yearling  full  brother  that  looks  every  inch  a  race 
horse.  

James  Butler,  of  New  York,  proprietor  of  the  East 
View  Stock  Farm,  has  offered  James  A.  Bell,  of  Phila- 
delphia, $1500  for  the  trotter  George  Curtis,  by  Curtis 
which  he  recently  purchased  from  Thomas  Collins,  of 
Germantown. 


Stam  B.  2:11}  will  haye  several  additions  to  his  list 
this  year.  A  horse  that  can  get  a  $9000  colt  from  his 
first  crop,  iB  a  pretty  good  one  to  patronize,  especially 
when  he  is  a  royally  bred  stallion  and  a  high  class 
race  horse  himself. 

Are  you  going  to  Denver  to  race?  See  the  advertise- 
ment in  this  issue  of  purses  to  close  April  1st.  There 
will  be  two  weeks  racing  with  three  stakes  of  $1000, 
one  of  $1500  and  all  the  balance  of  the  purses  $500. 
There  is  good  betting  at  Denver  and  a  good  track. 


Mr.  D.  E  Newell  of  519  Mission  street,  has  recently 
been  made  General  Agent  for  the  Pacific  Coast  for 
Craft's  Distemper  Cure,  a  medicine  for  horses  that  is 
recommended  very  highly  and  for  which  there  is 
quite  a  demand  among  horsemen  at  the  present  time. 


A.  J.  Welch  last  week  sold  to  John  Splan,  who  wai 
acting  for  Vienna,  Austria, parties, the  fast  but  erratic 
trotting  mare  Iva  Dee  2:124,  by  Onward.  In  the  M. 
&  M.  stake  of  1901  this  mare  drove  Eleata  out  the 
third  heat  in  2:08f,  which  is  the  record  for  the  stake. 
She  is  now  in  foal  to  Bingen  2:06}. 


An  Eastern  paper  states  that  the  champion  four- 
year-old  pacer  of  last  year,  Irish  2:08}  by  Monterey 
2:09},  will  pace  in  2:04  this  year  if  no  accident  happens 
him.  There  are  several  youngsters  by  Monterey  in 
California  that  will  be  beard  from  this  year.  Mr. 
Williams'  horse  is  getting  speed  from  all  sorts  of 
mares  and  large  fine  looking  colts  as  well. 


Secretary  W.  H.  Knight  gives  notice  that  the  nest 
regular  meetioe  of  Board  of  Appeals  of  the  American 
Trotting  Association  will  be  held  at  the  Auditorium 
Hotel,  Chicago,  Tuesday,  May  2,  1905,  at  10  o'clock 
A.  M  for  the  transaction  of  such  business  as  may 
properly  be  presented  to  the  Board  for  its  considera- 
tion. All  new  applications  and  written  evidence  must 
be  received  at  that  office  not  later  than  April  15,  1905 


Hal  B.  2:044  will  begin  his  stud  season  at   Portland, 
Oregon,  April  1st.    His  fee  there  will  be  $50. 


Every  person  interested  in  thoroughbred  horses 
should  have  a  copy  of  Captain  Tom  Merry's  new 
book  "The  American  Thoroughbred."  Major  Foxall 
Daingerfield  of  CastletOu,  Kentucky  says,  "it  is  by 
long  odds  the  best  book  ever  issued  from  an  American 
press  on  the  subject  of  thoroughbred  breeding." 


C.  A.  Arvedson,  of  Colusa  county,  has  taken  his 
horses  and  colts  in  training  to  the  Woodland  track 
where  they  will  be  worked  for  the  Coast  circuit. 


The  Coronado  two-year-old  that  Mr.  I.  C.  Mosher 
recently  sold  to  C.  H.  Ridgely  of  Illinois  for  $2500  is 
not  the  only  one  in  Coronado's  bunch  of  colts.  There 
are  several  more  that  are  as  fast  as  this  one. 


The  real  owner  of  Swift  B.  2:16}  is  Mr.  S.  B.  Lloyd 
of  Boston,  for  whom  Lon  McDonald  purchased  the 
son  of  Stam  B.  2:11}  two  weeks  ago  for  $9000,  as 
announced  in  the  BREEDER  AND  SPORTSMAN  last 
week. 

The  J.  L.  McCarthy  sale,  advertised  to  take  place 
at  Portland  in  April  has  been  postponed  until  May 
2d,  3d,  4th,  and  5th.  The  Brook  Nook  Ranch  con- 
signment could  not  reach  Portland  in  time  for  the 
eariier  date,  hence  the  postponement. 


Wanda  2:14|,  dam  of  The  Roman  2:09}  was  bred  to 
the  McKinney  stallion  Coronado  2:12J,  last  week.  As 
The  Roman  is  by  McKinney,  Wanda  should  produce 
another  fast  one  by  Coronado,  as  he  is  one  of  the  best 
individuals  and  fastest  sons  of  the  old  horse. 


Geo.  W.  Lowry  of  San  Francisco  has  purchased 
from  A.  G  Wilson  of  Hollister  the  good  three-year- 
old  pacing  colt  Little  Medium  by  Dictatus  Medium, 
dam  Little  One  by  Benton  Boy.  This  colt  was  a  very 
fast  yearling  and  should  develop  into  a  good  racing 
prospect.  

It  is  not  costing  as  much  to  keep  a  horse  this  year 
as  it  did  last.  The  weekly  hay  market  report  issued 
by  Scott  &  Wagner  of  this  city  states  that  the  abund- 
ance of  green  feed  this  year  has  reduced  the  prices  of 
stock  and  dairy  hav  while  horse  owners  are  daily  buy- 
ing the  better  grades  owing  to  the  fall  in  prices.  The 
choicest  wheat  and  oat  hay  has  dropped  to  $13  per 
ton,  while  No.  1  can  be  had  for  $10.  Alfalfa  hay  is 
slow  sale  at  $8. 

Mr.  W.  A.  Baker  of  Melbourne,  Australia,  arrived 
in  San  Francisco  on  the  last  steamer  from  that  country 
and  as  he  is  a  great  lover  of  the  trotting  horse  and 
owns  a  few,  he  will  look  around  the  stock  farms  and 
training  tracks  of  California  while  here.  Mr.  Baker 
owns  a  yearling  filly  by  the  Oakwood  Park  stallion 
Owyhee  2:11  owned  by  Trugania  Stud  Farm,  Mel- 
bourne that  took  first  prize  at  the  Royal  Agricultural 
Society  show  in  1904. 

Zombro  2:11  will  not  be  taken  to  Oregon  this  year 
hut  will  remain  in  Los  Angeles  where  his  services  are 
in  great  demand.  Some  very  choice  mares  have  been 
bred  to  Zombro  at  Los  Angeles  this  year,  among  them 
the  dam  of  Arketa  2:141,  Lady  Ash,  a  half  sister  to 
Sweet  Marie  2:04|,  Amber,  the  dam  of  Idylwild  2:174, 
Cleone.  trial  2:134,  Venus  N.  2:20*  and  thegreat  brood- 
mare Anna  Belle,  dam  of  Robert  I.  2:08|,  Murray  M. 
2:13  and  La  Belle  (2)  2:16. 


Mr.  R.  P.  Lathrop  of  Hollister  purchased  a  fine 
Diablo  filly  at  a  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  sale  two 
years  ago,  and  bred  her  last  season  to  bis  stallion 
Dictatus  Medium.  She  foaled  a  colt  on  the  19th  in&tant 
that  is  pronounced  a  beauty  and  one  of  the  best 
lookers  ever  seen  in  San  Benito  county.  Mr.  Lathrop's 
mare  Princess  Dillon  by  Sidney  Dillon,  out  of  Princess 
McCarty  by  Dexter  Prince  is  also  due  to  foal  in  a  few 
days  to  Dictatus  Medium. 


At  Glens  Falls,  New  York,  last  week,  Mr.  TJ.  G. 
Smith  paced  his  nine  months  old  colt  Chas.  Van 
Trump  an  exhibition  eighth  of  a  mile  measured  off 
on  one  of  the  streets.  The  colt,  which  is  a  full  brother 
to  the  world's  champion  yearling  Paul  D.  Kelly  2:20|, 
covered  the  eighth  in  20  seconds  He  pulled  a  sleigh 
and  as  tbe  footing  was  poor  in  places,  the  speed  shown 
was  remarkable. 

Wav  down  in  Bangor,  Maine,  there  is  a  stallion 
called  Lanyard  that  is  by  Lancelot  2:23  (son  of  Mes- 
senger Duroc  and  Green  Mountain  Maid)  dam  tbe 
Palo  Alto  bred  mare  Haya  by  Electricity  out  of  the 
old  four  mile  running  mare  Katy  Pease  by  Planet. 
The  owner  advertises  Lanyard's  fee  as  320  and  says 
the  horse  has  trotted  a  half  mile  in  one  minute  flat 
and  a  quarter  in  29  seconds. 


"Cartoons  of  Cresceus"  is  the  title  of  a  very  hand- 
somely printed  and  amusing  book  just  issued,  and  for 
which  we  acknowledge  receipt  of  a  copy.  The  car- 
toons are  reproduced  from  the  newspapers  of  the 
country  and  are  by  such  artists  as  Dickey  and  others. 
There  is  also  a  recapitulation  of  the  records  made  by 
the  great  son  of  Robert  McGregor  during  his  career, 
and  a  most  wonderful  showing  is  made.  His  pedigree 
is  also  given  and  is  headed  "Cresceus  2:024  champion 
race  horse  of  the  world." 


As  proof  that  half  mile  tracks,  when  properly  con- 
structed, can  be  made  fast  the  heats  trotted  by  Ole 
2:11  over  the  Ukiah  track  last  fall  can  be  given  as 
evidence.  The  race  which  was  between  Ole,  a  trot- 
ter, and  the  pacer  Inferno  2:15  by  Diablo,  was  half 
mile  heats,  best  three  in  five,  and  the  Silas  Skinner 
gelding  won  in  straight  beats  in  tbe  good  time  of  l:05j, 
1:06  and  1:064,  showing  that  the  track  was  but  little 
handicap  ^o  the  winner.  There  should  be  more  half 
mile  tracks  in  California.  The  long  dry  summer 
makes  ne  Pessary  a  big  water  bill  to  keep  a  mile  track 
and  a  half  mile  track  only  requires  half  the 
•  sprinkling  that  is  necessary  on  a  mile  track. 


The  owner  of  a  good  trotter  or  pacer  will  feel  like 
engaging  a  car  and  heading  for  Boston  when  he  looks 
over  the  program  of  rich  purses  offered  by  the  New 
England  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  for  its 
Grand  Circuit  meeting  advertised  in  this  issue. 
Twenty-six  thousand  dollars  or  six  purses  is  a  pretty 
good  sum.  The  2:30  class  trotters  are  offered  $5000, 
tbe  2:10  class  $10,000,  tbe  2:14  class  $3000,  and  the 
2:25  class  tbree-year-olds  $3000.  The  2:08  class  pacers 
are  given  $5000.  Read  the  conditions  and  enter  at 
this  meeting  if  you  are  going  East  The  track  at 
Read  ville  has  one  of  the  best  meetings  of  the  Grand 
Circuit.  

The  stable  of  harness  horses  owned  by  Mr.  C.  Wt 
Clark  of  San  Mateo,  and  now  being  trained  by  Ted 
Hayes  at  the  Los  Angeles  track,  have  all  wintered 
well  and  are  now  in  good  shape.  They  will  be  shipped 
to  Denver  about  May  1st,  to  participate  in  the  meeting 
there  and  if  all  goes  well  with  them  they  may  be  given 
a  chance  to  compete  for  the  big  purses  and  stakes  on 
the  Grand  Circuit.  The  stable  includes  the  following 
horses:  Miss  Georgle  2:11}  by  McKinney  and  Daniel 
J.  2:12}  by  Whitman,  both  pacers  Tbe  trotters  are 
the  three-year-old  Bon  Voyage,  that  took  a  record  of 
2:15  last  year  as  a  two-year-old;  Master  Delmar  2:16: 
Morone  2:18}.  one  of  last  year's  good  three-year-olds; 
Sally  Lunn  2:2S4  by  Wiggins,  whose  record  was  made 
as  a  two-year-old  last  year,  and  the  green  trotter  Will 
Clark  by  Strathway,  one  of  the  best  prospects  in 
California. 


Flyingdotte,  tbe  filly  that  showed  such  phenomenal 
speed  in  her  two-year-old  form  last  year,  will  join  the 
stable  of  Charles  Marvin,  at  LexiDgton  Sheis  owned 
by  Mr.  Lister  Witherspoon,  Versailles.  This  Ally 
trotted  a  quarter  in  314  seconds  last  year.  Flying- 
dotte is  about  the  size  of  Grace  Bond  2:04},  and  re- 
sembles her  in  other  particulars. 


F.  3.  Turner  2:28,  son  of  Vallota,  has  sired  just  one 
yearling.  This  is  a  colt  that  Frank  Turner,  his 
owner,  has  named  Dr.  William  S.  Jennings.  Tbe 
Doctor  is  a  trotter  and  so  promising  that  Mr.  Turner 
has  challenged  any  yearling  raised  in  Sonoma  county 
to  trot  a  match  race  this  fall.  His  colt  is  eleven 
months  old  at  the  present  time.  He  is  out  of  Caritone 
daughter  of  Antone  by  Dexter  Prince  and  Biscari  by 
Director.  

The  handsome  pacing  stallion  Sweitzer  2:134  by 
Secretary,  son  of  Director,  is  offered  for  sale  by 
Mr.  W.  F.  Snyder  of  2025  Lincoln  street,  Berkeley . 
Sweitzeris  a  very  fast  horse,  a  toppy  fellow  and  very 
attractive  in  harness.  His  present  owner  has  no  use 
for  him  and  will  sell  at  a  bargain.  Sweitzer  can  be 
driven  by  a  lady,  is  an  ideal  roadster  and  a  good  foal 
getter.  He  has  been  used  in  the  stud  very  little  but 
his  colts  are  all  large,  fine  lookers  and  Bhow  breeding 
as  well  as  speed. 

Frank  S.  Turner  the  new  proprietor  of  the  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm,  is  a  great  chicken  fancier  and  has 
over  twenty  varieties  of  pure  bred  fowls  at  the  Lou 
Dillon  poultry  yards  at  Santa  Rosa.  When  his  friend 
Dr.  Summerfield  returned  from  a  trip  to  England  last 
week  he  brought  with  him  two  dozen  eggs  of  a  famous 
English  Game  breed,  which  he  secured  from  a  breeder 
and  carried  across  the  ocean  and  the  continent  with 
great  care.  Mr.  Turner  has  given  them  in  charge  of 
a  "biddy "  and  the  result  is  looked  forward  to  with 
great  interest.  

A  filly  foal  arrived  at  Santa  Rita  Stock  Farm  near 
Pieasanton  about  11  a.  m.  on  Thursday,  March  16th, 
that  has  a  license  to  be  a  money  winner  in  one  or 
more  divisions  of  the  $6000  Breeders  Futurity  in  which 
her  dam  was  nominated  last  year.  The  filly  is  the 
property  of  Mr.  E.  A.  Gammon,  of  Courtland,  Sacra- 
mento county,  and  is  by  Sidney  Dillon,  sire  of  tbe 
world 's  champion  trotter,  its  dam  Cleo  G.  by  Yosemite, 
dam  of  the  fast  filly  Easter  Direct  now  in  Ed  Mills' 
hands  at  Pleasanton,  second  dam  Lizzie  C.  by  Frank 
Morrell,  third  dam  Black  Beauty  by  Dave  Hill  Jr., 
fourth  dam  Lily  Dale  by  imp.  Leviathan,  fifth  dam 
Dixon  Mare  by  Bertram,  and  from  there  on  thorough- 
bred. The  filly  is  a  bay  with  a  star  and  strip  on  foie- 
head.     She  has  been  named  Cleo  Dillon. 


The  Mercer  County  (Kentucky)  Fair  Association  is 
a  progressive  body  and  has  just  announced  a  new 
stake  of  $1000  for  saddle  horses.  It  is  a  futurity,  a 
sweepstakes  of  $1000  for  mares  bred  in  1904,  foals  of 
1905.  It  will  be  contested  by  sucklings,  yearlings, 
two-year-olds  and  three-year-olds  in  1905,  1906,  1907 
and  1908  during  the  meetings  of  the  association  at 
Harrodsburg,  Ky.  One  hundred  dollars  will  be  given 
the  sucklings,  $150  to  yearlings,  $250  to  two-year-olds 
and  $500  to  three-year-olds,  while  $125  goes  to  nomi- 
nators of  the  dams  of  winners.  The  original  nomina- 
tion fee  is  $2  for  the  mare,  with  $2  additional  each 
succeeding  April  15.  There  will  also  be  a  schedule  of 
entrance'  fees  for  the  produce  exhibited:  $5  to  be 
shown  as  sucklings,  $7.50  as  yearlings,  $10  as  two- 
year-olds  and  $15  as  three-year-olds. 


The  demand  for  high  class  carriage  horses  is  far 
greater  than  the  supply  in  California  at  present.  The 
Baywood  Stud  alone  has  sold  $6000  worth  of  horses 
within  the  past  few  weeks  and  could  have  sold  twice 
the  number  bad  they  been  on  the  farm  and  ready  for 
sale.  The  horses  sold  averaged  over  $540  per  head. 
This  includes  one  pair  at  $1200,  one  pair  at  $1000  and 
one  pair  at  $800,  besides  a  high  stepping  Hackney  filly 
by  Green's  Rufus  that  brought  $1500.  All  the  horses 
sold  but  two  were  by  Rufus  and  those  two  by  the 
German  coach  horse  imp.  Socrates.  In  spite  of  the 
automobile  craze,  the  horse  is  in  fashion  and  the  de- 
mand is  increasing  instead  of  diminishing.  Several 
of  these  horses  sold  from  Baywood  Stud  will  be  ex- 
hibited at  the  horse  show  to  be  held  next  month  in 
conjunction  with  the  Pasadena  Tournament  of  Roses. 


When  Sidney  Dillon  was  sold  for  $9000  at  tbe  "Old 
Glory"  sale  last  November  several  horsemen  standing 
by  the  ring  side  were  heard  to  say  that  the  sire  of  the 
sensational  Lou  Dillon  was  practically  stolen.  Subse- 
quent events  would  seem  to  corroborate  this  state- 
ment at  least  to  the  extent  of  showing  that  the  price 
realized  for  the  horse  was  but  a  fraction  of  his  value. 
He  reached  bis  new  bome  at  Indianapolis  about 
December  1,  and  a  few  days  afterwards  his  stud  book 
for  1905  was  opened,  and  his  service  fee  placed  at  $150. 
In  such  high  esteem  did  the  breeders  of  the  Middle 
West  hold  this  sire  of  extreme  speed  that  they  fairly 
deluged  the  sire's  owner  with  their  applications,  and 
before  he  had  been  quartered  in  his  new  home  60  days 
the  book  of  Sidney  Dillon — which  was  limited  to  60 
mares — had  been  filled, and  his  owner  had  gone  South, 
partly  for  his  health  and  partly  to  escape  the  annoy- 
ance caused  by  belated  breeders  begging  for  oppor- 
tunities to  bonk  mares.  As  60  mares  at  $150  each  will 
just  pay  the  $9000  which  Sidney  Dillon  cost,  it  is  not 
difficuft  to  determine  whether  or  not  this  horse,  like 
many  others,  was  practically  given  away. — Eider  and

Cresceus  for  an  Indoor  Record. 


[Trotter  and  Pacer.] 
Mr.  George  H.  Ketcham,  owner  of  the  champion 
stallion  Cresceus,  was  in  town  last  week  and  returned 
to  Toledo  on  Saturday.  He  did  not  have  a  great  deal 
of  horse  talk  to  unbridle,  as  he  is  just  now  interested 
in  the  erection  of  a  big  hotel  at  Toledo,  and  he  would 
insist  in  getting  b  tck  to  that  whenever  anyone  started 
him  on  the  horses.  The  royal  chestnut  champion  has 
wintered  well  and  is  all  right,  was  just  about  as  far  as 
he  would  get,  and  then  switch  off  to  the  new  hotel 
"project."  Certainly  George  ought  to  know  all  about 
how  to  run  a  hotel  real  good,  for  he  has  done  enough 
kicking  about  them  all  over  this  country  and  Europe, 
to  know  just  how  it  should  be  done.  If  there  is  a  man 
in  this  country,  or  any  other  for  that  matter,  who  can 
harrow  up  the  feelings  of  a  landlord  and  make  him 
doubt  that  life  is  worth  living,  by  real  scientific  kick- 
ing, as  Mr.  Ketcham  can,  there  is  a  medal  coming  to 
him.  As  soon  as  the  landlords  of  the  country  heard 
that  Mr.  Ketcham  was  going  to  build  a  hotel,  they 
begaD  to  rub  their  hands,  wag  their  heads  gleefully 
and  remark:  "Ah,  his  punishment  is  near  at  hand; 
he'll  get  what's  coming  to  him  now." 

But  Mr.  Ketcham  doesn't  consider  that  he  will  be 
repaid  in  kind  for  the  kicking  he  has  done  in  his  years 
of  travel,  for  he  says  that  he  will  see  to  that  there'll 
be  nothing  in  his  new  hotel  for  guests  to  kick  a». 
There  will  be  no  china  door  knobs  in  the  soap 
dishes,  nor  gossamer  towels  on  the  wash  stands;  un- 
fortunate gueBts  who  wake  up  in  the  morning  with 
hot  coppers  will  not  have  to  roam  all  over  the  place  in 
their  night  clothes  lookiDg  for  the  pump  to  get  ice 
water  to  cool  them;  he  won't  ask  them  to  eat  Turkish 
towels  for  stewed  tripe,  or  put  turnips  in  the  horse- 
radish dish;  his  cooks  will  know  better  than  to  make 
hash  out  of  the  hinges  of  trunks,  or  servre  sole  leather 
beefsteak;  there  will  be  no  blonde  wigs  on  the  butter, 
nor  pepper  in  the  pumpkin  pie;  njither  will  he  give 
them  bill  poster's  paste  for  blanc  mange.  In  fact, 
there  will  bono  chance  to  kid,  for  George  knows  just 
how  to  keep  his  guests  happy  and  at  peace  with  the 
world. 

Mixed  up  with  the  hotel  talk  there  was  some  con- 
versation about  the  indoor  trottiDg  record,  about  the 
only  one  the  stallion  Cresceus  does  not  hold,  having 
never  been  given  an  opportunity  to  go  for  it.  Mr. 
Ketcham  said  that  he  might  bring  Cresceus  hereto  go 
for  the  record  at  the  Horse  Fair  races  next  month  in 
Madison  Square  Garden,  if  sufficient  inducement  was 
offered.  Some  horsemen  were  of  the  opinion  that  he 
was  only  joking,  as  they  did  not  think  he  would 
allow  his  great  trotter  to  run  chances  on  such  a  small 
track;  but  there  is  no  time  or  place  that  Cresceus  is 
not  equal  to.  Mr.  Ketcham  considers  him  up  to  go- 
ing anywhere  that  any  other  horse  can  go,  and  history 
bears  him  out.  That  game,  and  bulldog  blood  of 
Robert  McGregor  is  not  appalled  at  any  undertaking. 
Cresceus  has  performed  some  of  the  most  unusual 
feats  of  any  trotter  in  the  history  of  the  world.  He 
has  been  stabled  in  a  thin,  portable  stall  on  the  ice 
fields  of  Canada  and  hitched  to  a  magnol'a  tree  under 
a  blazing  summer  sun.  He  has  stretched  his  magnifi- 
cent limbs  on  all  sorts  of  tracks  and  roads  from  the 
Atlantic  to  the  Pacific,  from  the  Great  Lakes  to  the 
Gulf  of  Mexico,  and  he  is  always  on  deck  ready  to  do 
just  about  anything  asked  of  him. 

Once,  on  a  trip  across  the  continent,  the  train  on 
which  he  was  making  the  journey  was  stopped  at  a 
small  station  for  two  or  three  hours.  The  natives 
heard  that  the  great  Cresceus  was  aboard  and  they 
wanted  to  see  him.  Some  of  the  citizens  hunted  up 
Mr.  Ketcham  and  it  was  not  long  before  Cresceus  was 
unloaded,  hooked  to  some  sort  of  a  heavy  gig  and 
trotted  a  mile  on  a  newly-built  track  from  which  the 
stumps  and  roots  had  not  been  removed  and  it  re- 
quired a  lot  of  skill  to  dodge  them;  but  it  bothered 
Cresceus  not  the  least.  He  has  been  the  hero  at 
pumpkin  shows,  braving  every  sort  of  weather  and 
tracks  without  losing  a  feed.  Once  when  driving  him 
through  the  streets  of  Toledo,  a  load  of  lumber  and 
one  of  hay  blockaded  the  street;  Mr.  Ketcham  quietly 
drove  him  over  the  curb  and  up  on  the  sidewalk, 
without  a  thought  of  the  great  horse  injuring  himself. 
Cresceus  is  a  horse  of  almost  human  intelligence. 
NothiDg  appears  to  scare  him  or  put  him  in  a  temper 
He  will  go  anywhere  he  is  asked  and  the  eight-lap 
track  which  will  be  built  at  the  Garden  for  the  Horse 
Fair  races  would  be  easy  for  him  compared  to  aome  of

the  tracks  he  has  trotted.  It  would  be  like  a  parlor 
track  alongside  a  plowed  field.  There  is  considerable 
doubt  as  to  his  being  brought  here,  however,  for  the 
Garden  races, as  there  was  no  certainty  of  it  when  Mr. 
Ketcham  left  for  home.  It  would  be  great  to  see  him 
step  on  the  miniature  track  and  it  would  be  a  big 
thing  if  Mr.  Ketcham  could  be  induced  to  drive  him 
for  the  indoor  record. 


The  Cuyahoga  Stable. 

A  Cleveland,  O.,  dispatch  of  the  8th  inst.,  an 
nounces  the  following:  "C.  K.  G.  B.llings  has  a  new 
name  for  his  Cleveland  Btable.  Hereafter  it  will  be 
known  to  horsemen  throughout  the  country  as  the 
Cuyahoga  stable.  He  has  shown  evidence  of  his 
fondness  for  Cleveland  and  Cuyahoga  county  by 
selecting  this  name.  He  announces  entries  in  the 
various  rich  trotting  futurities  which  closed  on 
March  1st.  Although  Mr.  Billings  never  races  his 
wagon  horses  in  professional  contests  and  may  never 
start  any  horse  in  a  regular  race  still  for  the 
benefit  of  the  horses  he  is  entering  his  colts  born 
this  year  in  the  futurity  races.  Instead  of  being  en" 
tered  in  his  name  the  horses  are  named  by  the 
Cuyahoga  stable.  This  is  the  first  announcement  of 
the  fact  that  bis  establishment  carriesthis  name.  His 
string  of  horses  has  always  been  referred  to  as  the 
Billings  stable.  The  colts  he  is  entering  in  these 
futurities  are  all  by  John  A.  McKerron,  out  of  noted 
wagon  trotters,  such  as  Lucille,  2:07;  Mazette,  2:04J; 
Louise  Jefferson,  2:09|,  and  Imogene,  2:11}. 


with  Sweet  Marie  and  Tiverton,  but  after  all  there  is 
one  man  who  has  a  horse  that  he  is  willing  to  chance 
against  the  great  pair.  That  man  is  Mr.  T.  F.  Adkin 
of  Rochester,  who  says  he  will  name  his  gelding  Lison. 
jero  2:08},  in  such  a  race.  Mr.  Adkin  does  not  claim 
Lisonjero  was  as  fast  last  fall  as  Sweet  Marie  and 
Tiverton,  but  he  says  he  does  know  that  his  horse 
worked  a  mile  in  2:06  with  comparative  ease,  and  that 
he  looks  for  him  to  be  a  much  better  horse  next  season 
over  hislast  year's  form  and  that,  of  course,  means 
that  he  expects  him  to  beat  2:05,  at  least,  before  fall. 
If  Lisonjero  comes  up  to  his  owner's  expectations  and 
starts  with  Sweet  Marie  and  Tiverton  in  the  free.for- 
all  class,  which  will  be  on  the  program  of  the  Buffalo 
Grand  Circuit  meeting,  he  will  certainly  assist  in 
making  a  contest  that  will  be  an  interesting  one." 


Raymond,  of  the  Horse  World  writes:  "It  has  for 
some  time  been  known  that  the  owners  of  Tiverton 
2:04J,  and  Sweet  Marie  2:04J,  are  willing  to  start  those 
two  trotters  for  a  purse  for  free-for-all  trotters 
providing  those  two  great  trotters  train  into  good 
form  this  spring,  but  it  has  been  conamonly  remarked 
that  there  was  not  much  hope  of  any  other  horse 
being  named  with  this  pair.  No  one  has  been  able  to 
point  out  a  trotter  that  seems  to  have  a  good  chance 


Thinks  Stanley  Dillon  is  the  Goods. 

Millard  Sanders  is  a  great  admirer  of  Stanley  Dillon 
2:07|,  winner  of  the  M.  and  M.  last  year.  "I  have 
seen,"  said  he,  "a  lot  of  horses  that  were  called  nat- 
ural trotters,  but  I  believe  that  Stanley  had  more  trot 
in  his  head  from  the  beginning  than  any  horse  ever 
seen.  Just  think,  he  was  not  broken  till  December  of 
his  six-year  form.  When  I  say  broken,  he  did  not 
even  know  what  it  was  to  be  harnessed  up  to  that 
time,  and  90  days  after  I  commenced  breaking  him 
he  trotted  a  mile  for  me  in  2:15,  and  I  believe  that  is 
something  that  no  trotter  has  ever  done.  If  he  trains 
sound  this  year,  which  I  think  he  will  surely  do,  he 
will  trot  a  mighty  fast  mile,  for  Ed  Geers  and  I  pre- 
dict right  now  that  it  will  take  a  corker  to  beat  him, 
as  he  is  game  to  the  core,  and  no  route  is  too  long  for 

him."

Breeding  a  2:10  Trotter. 

[Gasper  L.  Redfleld  in  Horse  Keview.] 
A  breeder  recently  said  to  me.  "What  I  want  to 
know  is  how  to  breed  a  2:10  trotter.  Can  you  tell  me 
that?"  The  conversation  being  interrupted  I  did  not 
answer  at  that  time,  but  I  will  endeavor  to  do  so  now 
to  a  larger  audience. 

A  2:10  trotter  is  the  result  of  a  development  extend- 
ing over  many  years.  The  actual  time  required  de- 
pends partly  upon  the  rapidity  with  which  the 
different  animals  involved  are  developed,  and  partly 
upon  the  continuity  of  the  developing  process.  The 
time  is  shortest  when  development  is  most  rapid  under 
proper  training,  and  when  the  breaks  are  least  in 
number  and  of  shortest  duration.  It  is  longest  when 
development  is  slow,  and  the  breaks  in  the  developing 
process  are  numerous  or  of  long  duration.  In  fact, 
the  breaks  may  be  so  frequent  and  of  such  length 
that  2:10  speed  never  will  be  reached. 

This  does  not  mean  that  a  man  must  spend  fifty  or 
more  years  in  the  breeding  business  before  he  can 
produce  a  2:10  trotter.  On  the  contrary,  he  may 
select  for  breeding  purposes  animals  in  which  the  de- 
veloping process  has  been  more  or  less  continuous  for 
a  long  time,  and  by  judicious  training  he  may  quickly 
fill  up  the  missing  gaps  He  may  do  even  more  than 
this.  He  may  find  animilsin  existence  which,  when 
properly  mated,  will  produce 2:10  trotters  with  great 
regularity.  It  is  simply  a  question  of  finding  animals 
possessing  a  sufficiently  continuous  development  of  a 
given  kind,  and  mating  them  with  other  animals 
having  a  similar  continuous  development  of  the  same 
kind. 

«  Every  horseman  knows  what  a  continuous  process 
of  development  means  in  the  life  of  an  animal,  and 
also  knows  what  breaks  in  that  process  mean.  But  a 
period  of  fifty  or  more  years  involves  the  lives  of 
several  animals,  and  these  bring  in  those  breaks  in 
continuous  development  which  are  necessary  to  re* 
production.  We  may  begin  training  a  colt  when  be 
is  young  and  keep  it  up  regularly  year  after  year,  but 
as  soon  as  we  breed  him  to  produce  another  animal 
there  is  a  stop  to  the  developing  process  and  a  period 
of  idleness  which  continues  until  we  are  able  to  take 
it  up  again  with  the  new  foal.  It  is  the  break  in  the 
continuous  process  of  development  that  we  need  to 
consider  in  the  production  of  2:10  trotters. 

Development,  in  a  sense  that  will  produce2:10  speed, 
is  dynamic  in  character.  At  the  beginning  of  the 
period  of  gestation  the  germ  from  which  a  new  animal 
is  to  develop  is  charged  with  the  same  dynamic 
quantities  which  its  parent  had  at  the  time.  The 
period  of  gestation  is  a  period  of  abso'ute  rest  in 
which  there  is  growth  of  the  new  animal  but  no 
dynamic  development.  In  fact,  there  a  a  loss  of 
dynamic  development  in  the  foal  during  this  year  of 
gestation  which  corresponds  to  what  its  parent  would 
lose  in  development  by  being  kept  similarly  quiet  for 
a  similar  period. 

After  foaling  there  comes  to  the  foal  a  period  that 
is  partly  growth  and  partly  dynamic  development. 
During  this  period  it  gradually  regains  the  dynamic 
development  which  it  lost  during  the  period  of  gesta- 
tion. The  length  of  time  required  for  completely  re- 
gaining the  lost  dynamic  qualities  so  that  the  new 
animal  will  be  dynamically  the  equal  of  its  parent  at 
the  time  of  reproduction  wiJl  depend  upon  the  treat- 
ment of  the  foal.  Under  proper  training  it  may  have 
regained  the  lost  development  before  it  is  two  years 
of  age.  Under  lack  of  trainingit  may  never  regain  it. 
For  the  sake  of  a  concrete  illustration  we  will  assume 
that  animals  are  developed  and  bred  in  the  ordinary 
way,  and  that  the  foals  produced  are  trained  so  that 
at  the  age  of  three  years  tbey  have  completely  re- 
gained the  lost  development  and  are  dynamically 
equal  to  their  parents  at  the  time  tbey  were  produced. 
Under  these  conditions,  the  loss  of  time  in  the  con- 
tinuous process  of  development  is  one  year  for  gesta- 
tion, and  three  years  for  regaining  loss,  or  a  total  of 
four  years  lost  for  each  reproduction.  With  this 
degree  of  training,  if  we  regularly  breed  animals  at 
three  years  of  age,  the  development  we  give  them  will 
be  just  sufficient  to  balance  the  loss  during  reproduc- 
tion, and  there  will  be  no  advance.  We  would  never 
reach  2:10  speed. 

Our  analysis  shows  us  that  each  time  we  breed  we 
lose  approximately  four  years  out  of  the  time  neces- 
sary to  develop,  by  training,  a  2:10  trotter  from  ani- 
mals having  a  less  dynamic  development.  All  that  is 
done  duriDg  that  four  years,  more  or  less,  Is  done 
simply  to  keep  the  animals  from  going  backward. 
To  gain  anything  in  development  and  thus  make 
progress  toward  evolving  a  2:10  trotter,  we  must  ad- 
vance the  age  at  which  we  breed  these  animals  so  as 
to  make  tbese  breaks  in  the  continuous  processor 
developnent  further  apart.  If  we  maintain  the  de- 
gree of  training  which  we  assumed  in  the  beginning; 
(traiuir  j»  each  animal  at  this  rate  each  year  of  its  life) 
ih   the   breeding  age  from  the  assumed  three 


years  to  an  assumed  seven  years,  then  we  will  gain 
four  years  each  generation  of  the  total  number  of 
years  necessary  to  produce  the  desired  2:10  trotter. 
If  we  breed  at  a  still  later  age,  maintaining  the  same 
degree  of  gaining  all  the  time,  we  gain  a  still  greater 
number  of  years  each  generation. 

As  nearly  as  I  am  able  to  determine  from  analyzing 
the  pedigrees  of  2:10  trotters  already  produced,  it  re- 
quires about  one  hundred  of  such  gained  years  to 
evolve  a  2:10  performer  from  animals  capable  of  2:30 
speed — the  training  being  a  mixture  of  race  track 
development  and  road  work  of  varying  degrees. 
Where  training  is  great  enough,  for  racing  purposes, 
it  appears  possible  to  reach  the  end  by  as  few  as  forty 
of  these  gained  years.  This  estimate  of  one  hundred 
gained  years  is  the  sum  of  the  gains  by  all  of  the 
different  animals  in  the  generations  between  2:30  and 
2:10  speed.  When  a  straight  line  of  descent  from  sire 
to  son  is  considered,  tbe  number  of  gained  years 
appears  to  be  between  twenty  and  thirty. 

To  illustrate  still  further:  let  us  assume,  hypotheti- 
cally,  that  we  start  with  an  animal  which  can  be  made 
to  go  in  2:10  by  twenty  years  of  continuous  training, 
and  that  we  consider  only  a  straight  line  of  descent.  If 
we  breed  regularly  at  four  years  of  age,  we  will  have 
our  animals  five  years  between  generations  and  will 
gain  one  year  of  development  each  generation.  Under 
these  conditions  it  will  take  us  one  hundred  years  of 
steady  and  continuous  work  to  produce  our  2:10 
trotter.  If  we  breed  at  seven  years  we  will  gain  four 
years  of  development  each  generation  and  will  reach 
the  2:10  trotter  in  forty  years.  If  we  breed  at  thirteen 
years  of  age  we  will  gain  ten  years  each  generation 
and  reach  the  result  in  twenty-eight  years. 

Having  given  the  general  principles  involved  in  tl^ 
evolution  of  2:10  speed  ve  will  return  now  to  the 
method  to  be  employed  in  breeding  a  2:10  trotter 
without  unnecessary  delay.  The  first  thing  is  to  pro- 
cure a  developed  mare,  though  it  is  not  at  all  necessary 
that  she  have  a  record.  It  will  he  an  advantage  if 
she  was  developed  at  an  early  age,  and  the  more  con- 
tinuously and  the  longer  she  has  been  developed  the 
better.  Before  deciding  upon  the  mare  to  be  selected 
it  is  desirable  to  know  something  of  her  inherited 
qualities  apart  from  what  she  exhibits  when  tried.  To 
learn  this  it  is  necessary  to  examine  the  qualities  of 
her  near  relatives,  particularly  the  produce  of  her 
sire,  her  dam'B  sire,  and  her  sire's  dam.  We  want  to 
know  if  these  animals  produced  speed,  and  particu- 
larly we  want  to  know  the  sex  of  those  which  exhibited 
the  greatest  speed.  In  this  examination  stallions  form 
one  class,  and  mares  and  geldings  taken  together  form 
another  class.  If  nothing  is  to  he  considered  except 
the  mere  production  of  a  2:10  performer,  then  we  want 
a  mare  whose  best  relatives  are  all  in  one  class — all 
stallions  or  else  all  mares  and  geldings.  If  tbe  best 
produce  of  her  sire  are  in  one  class  and  the  best  pro- 
duce of  her  dam's  sire  in  the  other  class,  then  the 
mare  should  be  rejected  unless  other  things  are 
exceptionally  good,  or  unless  the  breeding  is  for  stock 
purposes. 

If  we  find  a  mare  individually  well  developed  and 
whose  best  relatives  on  both  sides  were  mares  and 
geldings,  we  should  breed  her  to  McKinney,  Sidney 
Dillon  or  some  other  horse  whose  best  progeny  are 
also  mares  and  geldings.  She  should  not  be  bred  to 
Allerton,  or  to  Direct,  or  to  any  other  horse  whose 
best  performers  are  stallions.  If  the  product  of  this 
union  is  a  colt,  he  should  be  gelded  before  he  is  old 
enough  to  reproduce.  He  will  be  much  faster  as  a 
gelding  than  as  a  stallion. 

[f  the  mare  we  find  is  one  whose  best  relatives  on 
both  sides  are  stallion  performers,  then  her  inherit- 
ance is  strong  in  the  male  line  instead  of  the  female 
line,  and  the  intention  should  be  to  get  a  stallion 
from  her.  To  get  a  fast  stallion  from  her  it  is  very 
important  that  she  should  have  been  developed  while 
still  a  filly.  Her  age  and  the  amount  of  development 
she  received  when  mature  are  less  important  in  this 
case.  It  is  of  importance,  however,  that  she  be  from 
a  comparatively  old  and  well-developed  dam. 

Before  choosing  such  a  mare  for  the  purpose  of  pro- 
ducing a  fast  stallion,  it  is  desirable  to  know  what 
kind  of  development  her  sire  had  at  the  time  she  was 
got.  A  good  mare  would  be  one  got  by  a  horse  which 
had  been  several  years  on  the  race  track,  and  one 
which  had  sired  this  particular  mare  tbe  last  year  of 
his  racing  career.  A  good  one  would  also  be  by  some 
comparatively  old  horse  which  had  been  kept  up  by 
regular  harness  work,  as  was  the  case  with  Electioneer 
and  Pilot  Medium. 

Having  selected  a  mare  having  the  desired  qualities 
of  early  individual  development  and  from  a  strong 
male  ancestry,  she  should  be  bred  to  Allerton,  or  to 
Direct,  or  to  BOme  other  stallion  which  is  compara- 
tively old  and  which  has  been  kept  in  a  developed 
condition  for  years  by  regular  harness  work.  Under 
no  circumstance  should  she  be  bred  to  a  horse  of 
strong  female  inheritance,  like  McKinney  or  Sidney 
Dillon,  nor  to  any  horse  which  has  been  kept  in  a  box 


stall  or  other  restricted  quarters  without  exercise. 
It  is  not  sufficient  that  the  horse  has  been  kept  in  a 
large  paddock  where  he  could  take  such  exercise  as 
he  desired.  The  breede'r  who  wishes  to  produce  a  2:10 
stallion  should  reject  all  such. 

The  best  sire  for  producing  a  2:10  stallion  is  one 
which  has  been  raced  for  several  years,  which  has 
subsequently  been  kept  up  by  not  less  than  six  or 
eight  miles  of  road  work  each  day,  with  occasional 
brushes,  and  which  is  fourteen  or  more  years  old. 
Another  good  kind  of  sire  is  one  which  is  just  com- 
pleting several  years  of  racing. 

These  rules  are  proper  ones  to  follow  when  the  thing 
desired  is  simply  a  2:10  performer.  When  it  is  desired 
to  produce  a  good  sire  of  performers,  the  same  prin- 
ciples are  to  be  considered,  but  a  slightly  different 
process  is  to  be  followed.  McKinney  is  an  exception- 
ally good  sire  of  mares  and  geldings,  while  Allerton 
is  exceptionally  good  as  a  sire  of  stallions.  It  should 
not  be  difficult  to  produce  a  sire  which  will  have  the 
good  qualities  of  both  Allerton  and  McKinney,  and 
consequently  greater  than  either. 

To  do  this  take  a  mare  which  is  highly  developed 
and  which  has  been  kept  in  a  highly  developed  con- 
dition for  several  years,  the  more  the  better.  It  will 
be  of  considerable  advantage  if  her  development  com- 
menced when  she  was  a  tilly,  and  was  continued  with- 
out intermission  to  within  a  few  wetks  ol  the  time  she 
is  to  be  bred.  There  will  also  be  an  advantage  if  she 
is  from  an  old  and  well  developed  mare.  An  old  road 
mare  is  a  good  kind. 

The  object  of  this  is  to  get  a  mare  which  is  by  in- 
heritance and  by  indiviaual  acquirement  strong  on 
the  female  side.  She  should  be  brtd  to  a  stallion 
which  is  in  a  similar  way  strong  on  the  male  side.  A 
stallion  produced  in  this  way  may  not  himself  be 
capable  of  trotting  in  2:10,  but  he  can  be  maae  into  a 
sire  of  2:10  spetd  of  either  class  from  maies  ol  a  coi- 
responding  class. 

To  do  this,  training  should  begin  when  he  is  very 
young.  This  early  development  builds  up  his  capacity 
as  a  sire  of  fast  mares  anu  geldings.  (Jnimes,  Axtell, 
Sidney  Dillon,  Dexter  Prince  and  Alcyone  are  ex- 
amples of  horsts  developed  while  colts  which  became 
great  sires  of  fast  mares  and  geldings.  The  later  de- 
velopment builds  up  his  capacity  to  sire  last  stallions, 
and  the  longer  the  development  is  continued  the 
greater  will  be  the  capacity.  Allerton  ana  Direct  are 
conspicuous  examplts  of  a  large  amount  of  late  de- 
velopment making  horses  into  good  sires  of  fast  stal- 
lions. Both  of  these  are  kept  up  by  regular  road 
work.  Mr.  Williams  tells  me  that  Allerton  has  trot- 
ted over  50,000  miles  in  harness.  This  means  from 
seven  to  eight  miles  each  day  for  eight  years. 

It  is  well  known  that  many  horses  which  are  good 
as  performers  are  not  good  as  sires  of  speed,  while 
other  horses  are  good  as  sires  of  speed  though  not 
individually  good  as  performers.  What  has  been  said 
about  the  difference  in  the  ways  to  be  employed  in 
producing  a  performer  and  in  producing  a  aire  of 
performers  will  give  an  index  ol  the  reason  for  this. 
It  is  very  largely  a  difference  between  nervous  tension 
and  stamina.  A  horse  may  have  a  very  high-strung 
and  energetic  disposition  without  having  great  en- 
durance, or  he  may  have  great  endurance  without 
having  a  high  degree  of  nervous  tension.  The  horse 
with  a  high  degree  of  nervous  energy  makes  a  good 
performer,  but  it  is  the  horse  with  endurance  which 
makes  the  good  progenitor.  These  two  kinds  of 
horses  are  the  producis  of  two  ways  of  breeding. 

The  excitement  and  strain  of  racing  tends  to  key  a 
horBe's  nervous  system  up  to  a  high  pitch  and,  when 
a  young  horse  has  had  two  or  three  seasons  of  racing, 
nervous  energy  and  ambition  are  stamped  on  hiB 
character.  If  the  horse  is  bred  at  this  time  that 
nervous  energy  and  ambition  is  transmitted  directly 
to  his  son,  and  that  son  is  a  better  performer  in  con- 
sequence. If  the  foal  is  a  daughter  she  individually 
inherits  these  characters  only  in  part,  but  she  inherits 
full  power  to  transmit  them  to  her  sons  If  such  a 
daughter  is  bred  to  some  other  hor6e  just  completing 
a  racing  career  and  having  a  similar  development  of 
nervous  energy  and  ambition,  any  son  she  may  pro- 
duce will  inherit  a  double  portion  of  these  characters. 
Many  of  our  best  performers  are  the  product  of  an 
elaborate  combination  of  such  inheritances. 

On  the  other  hand,  take  a  horse  which  has  seen 
little  or  none  of  race  track  excitement,  but  which  has 
had  a  large  amount  of  road  work.  The  energy  he 
acquires  is  not  of  such  a  nervous  character  and  he 
does  not  develop  quite  the  same  type  of  ambition. 
But  as  tbe  years  go  by  he  gains  strength  and  stamina, 
and  this  strength  and  stamina  he  transmits  to  the 
offspring  which  he  may  get  in  later  yearB.  The  son 
produced  in  this  way  may  not  have  the  nerve  and 
ambition  which  will  make  him  into  a  great  performer 
but  he  has  the  foundation  of  stamina  which,  crossed 
upon  nervous  energy  and  ambition  from  another 
source,  will  produce  great  trotters. 

This  shifting  of  the  type  of  character  or  disposition 
at  different  times  in  life  and  under  different  circum- 
stances, and  the  transmission  of  these  different  char- 
acters to  offspring  got  at  different  times,  is  beautifully 
illustrated  in  men.  I  have  treated  this  matter  quite 
fully  in  "Control  of  Heredity,"  to  which  book  I  refer 
the  reader  for  further  information.  What  is  true  of 
men  is  equally  true  of  houses,  and  the  pedigrees  of 
different  horses  show  the  transmission  of  tbese  shift- 
ing characters.  I  might  say  in  brief  that  young  horses 
transmit  nervous  activity  and  that  old  horses  transmit 
stamina,  but  that  statement  is  too  general  to  be 
strictly  true  Ihe  devious  course  through  which 
characters  are  transmitted  is  not  easily  grasped,  but 
when  it  is  once  grasped  those  things  which  now  appear 
wrapped  in  the  profoundest  mystery  become  clear  and 
understandable.

Form  reversals  at  Emeryville  were  as  frequent  laBt 
Wednesday  as  showers  in  April  at  the  Far  East. 
Hulfurd  opened  the  agony  ball  by  winning  the  first 
race  off  by  eight  leDgths  in  a  "bleeding  gallop,"  after 
being  very  heavily  played.  In  his  previous  start  the 
Criehton  gelding  finished  eighth  after  going  back 
in  the  betting— in  keeping  with  the  performance  that 
followed.  He  was  beaten  about  eight  and  one-half 
lengths  by  Dora  I.,  eight  lengths  by  Laura  F.  M.  In 
Wednesday's  race  Hulford  beat  Laura  F.  M.  eight 
lengths  in  the  gallop  aforementioned,  this  being  an 
improvement  in  seven  days'  time  of  about  eighteen 
lengths  on  Hulford 's  part,  considering  he  won  pulled 
up  on  Wednesday.  In  the  second  race  Abe  Meyer 
beat  Daruma  by  a  neck  at  even  weights.  Five  days 
previously,  at  a  little  shorter  route,  Daruma  beat  Abe 
Meyer  four  leDgths  at  even  weights,  this  being  an  im- 
provement on  the  Storer  colt's  part  not  nearly  as 
startling  as  Hulford 's,  but  still  wonderful.  Dr.  Leggo 
got  good  very  suddenly,  too,  in  the  fourth  race,  and 
won  in  the  style  that  has  made  him  so  distinguished, 
defeating  Nigrette  and  Stilicho,  which  had  beaten 
him  four  days  before.  In  the  fifth  event  Travers 
gave  Best  Man  (the  9  to  20  favorite)  such  handling  as 
would  not  have  done  credit  to  an  exercise  boy  but 
three  months  in  the  business.  However,  the  horses 
from  the  Rowell  stable  seem  to  be  uniformly  unsuc- 
cessful at  odds  on,  and  Best  Man's  defeat  was  no  great 
surprise  to  those  who  have  observed  their  poor  run- 
ning at  poor  prices.  On  March  10th  this  same  horse 
was  at  13  to  20  and  was  beaten  a  length  at  seven  fur- 
longs, run  in  1:26| — a  fast-run  race.  Wednesday  Best 
Man  was  beaten  two  lengths  in  l:28i  with  twc  pounds 
more  up,  or  110  lbs.,  the  track  being  perhaps  one  and 
one-half  seconds  slow  to  the  mile.  On  March  2nd, 
Best  Man  (odds  14  to  5)  took  up  110  lbs  and  won  at  six 
furlongs  in  1:13  flat,  and  was  second  to  Adirondack 
February  25th  at  odds  of  5  to  1,  coming  from  eleventh 
place  and  being  much  iaterfered  with.  Trapsetter 
beat  him  at  a  mile  and  fifty  yards  February  14th,  and 
three  days  before  that  he  was  unplaced  in  a  race 
wherein  he  wa9  a  favorite.  February  8th  he  was 
played  down  from  3  to  1  to  9  to  5,  and  won  like  a  good 
horse,  and  he  won  January  30th  at  odds  of  5  to  1. 
This  is  Best  Man's  record  since  he  demonstrated  he 
was  in  form,  and  it  is  certainly  a  study  in  flip-floppery 
that  should  furnish  food  for  thought  among  the 
gentlemen  in  the  glass  stand.  David  Boland  won  the 
last  race  easily  after  getting  away  on  the  fly,  and  was 
heavily  played.  He  beat  My  Order  three  and  one- 
half  lengths  (102  to  the  Iatter's  104  lbs.).  Five  days 
before  My  Order  carried  one  pound  more  ihan 
Boland  and  beat  him  by  two  lengths.  Verily  this  was 
the  banner  day  for  form  reversals,  and  it  is  9aying  a 
whole  lot,  too,  for  this  has  been  the  banner  season  for 
failure  to  run  form.  It's  too  bad  the  stewards  do  not 
busy  themselves  sufficiently  to  put  the  evildoers  out 
of  business,  and  if  horses  are  such  rank  in-and-outers 
they  should  be  barred  from  competing — that  is,  if 
the  officials  like  to  see  clean  racing  and  desire  to  pro- 
tect the  public. 

RaciDg  in  Missouri  and  Tennessee  is  dead,  th6  ban 
upon  wagering  coin  having  been  put  by  the  legislature 
of  those  two  states,  long  considered  two  of  the  leaders 
in  the  production  of  high  class  race  horses  and  in  love 
of  its  inhabitants  for  "the  sport  of  kings."  In 
Missouri  the  Godfrey  measure  does  not  become  a  law 
until  June  16th,  and  doubtless  the  Elm  Ridge,  Fair 
Grounds  and  Union  Park  owners  will  make  the  most 
of  the  time  that  remains  to  them.  It's  too  bad  that 
this  has  come  about,  but  it  only  emphasizes  the  fact 
that  the  system  is  wrong.  Racing  in  a  big  city  like 
St.  Louis  would  never  have  been  killed  if  the  track- 
owners  had  run  four  months  in  the  year  instead  of 
eight  or  nine,  and  the  same  applies  to  Chicago.  In 
the  past  few  years  we  have  seen  the  racing  conducted 
at  traoks  owned  by  one  or  two  men  who  only  had  in 
view  the  making  of  money.  Formerly  reputable  men 
formed  jockey  clubs  and  gave  meetings  of  two  or 
three  weeks  in  spring  and  fall,  or  summer  and  fall, 
and  it  was  an  outing  that  came  under  the  heading  of 
"sport."  Of  late  years  the  sporting  feature  and  the 
outing  was  lost  sight  of,  and  the  conductof  race  meet- 
ing was  placed  under  the  caption,  "Business."  The 
best  men  in  the  country  used  to  breed  racers  and 
delight  in  Beeing  their  colors  flash  to  the  front,  the 
coin  captured  being  a  secondary  consideration.  These 
gentlemen  have  quit  "the  game,"  and  professional 
trainers  and  owners  have  taken  their  places.  There 
will  have  to  be  a  return  to  the  old  plan,  have  a  cut 
down  of  the  raciDg  at  any  one  place  by  at  least  forty 
per  cent,  or  the  "goody-goods"  in  the  community  will 
bring  legislators  to  see  the  damage  that  haB  been  done 
and  stop  the  game  altogether.     When  States  like 


Missouri  and  Tennessee,  considered  the  most  friendly 
in  the  country  to  racing  (bar  perhaps  Kentucky), 
go  against  the  time-honored  Bport  and  legislate  so 
that  it  is  stopped  within  their  borders,  it  is  high  time 
for  the  friends  of  racing  all  over  the  continent  to  sit 
up  and  pay  attention  and  prevent  the  piggish  race 
track  managers  from  killing  the  thoroughbred  breed- 
ing industry,  in  which  is  invested  hund-reds  of  millions 
of  dollars. 

The  Daniels  Brothers,  of  Texas,  are  much  in  evi- 
dence at  City  Park,  New  Orleans  Last  Wednesday 
they  won  with  The  Don  and  Lord  Hermence.  Other 
horses  well  known  in  California  who  do  well  there  are 
Ada  N.,  Bon  Mot  and  Ora  Viva.  Wade  McLemore 
has  won  several  races  with  Attila. 


Jim  Grant,  for  many  year3  manager  of  Theodore 
Winters' 9tock  farms  in  California  and  Nevada,  has 
purchased  the  good  Midlothian  mare  Nigrette  of 
Walter  Jennings.  Nigrette  will  be  raced  here  until 
the  end  of  the  season,  then  turned  out  until  next  fall. 
The  price  paid  wa9  not  made  public,  but  $2000  was 
not  far  from  the  mark. 


C.  C.  McCafferty,  believing  Delagoa's  defeat  of 
Collector  Jessup  on  Monday  last  was  no  fluke,  offered 
to  match  the  Kingston  mare  for  $1000  againBt  the 
Eastern  crack,  the  flyers  to  go  the  same  distance  as 
they  previously  ran.  Jockey  Michaels  was  suspended 
for  his  ride  on  Jessup  in  this  race.  Jockey  Alarie's 
suspension  was  made  indefinite  after  Hulford  rolled  in 
last  Wednesday  with  Bell  in  the  saddle.  It  looks  as 
if  Alarie  had  been  doing  some  very  queer  saddle  work 
for  several  moons,  and  the  only  wonder  is  he  was  not 
intercepted  sooner.  Ralph  H.  Tozer. 


Gyp  Horse  Dealers. 

A  new  gyp  game  has  been  discovered;  one  which  is 
proving  wonderfully  effective  in  getting  rid  of  worn- 
out  horses  at  about  four  times  their  value.  It  is 
known  as  "the  hop."  A  gyp  dealer  with  a  bunch  of 
horses  to  dispose  of  secures  one  really  good  horse — - 
one  that  is  young,  sound  and  full  of  spirit.  This  horse 
iB  stabled  along  with  the  others,  all  of  which  are 
worth  very  little,  and  when  a  customer  comes  in 
answer  to  his  advertisement  he  tells  him  to  take  his 
pick  of  the  lot  "for  a  hurdred,"  "I've  got  horses 
that  cost  me  two  hundred  and  a  quarter  in  that  lot, " 
he  says.  "But  I  want  the  money  now.  If  I  could 
wait  a  week  or  two  and  advertise  them  right  I  could 
get  my  money  out  of  them;  but  I  can't  wait.  Take 
your  pick  for  an  even  hundred. " 

The  sound  horse  catches  the  eye  of  the  buyer  at 
once  and  he  selects  that  one,  feeling  that  he  is  getting 
a  bargain.  "All  right,"  9ays  the  gyp,  "it's  no  dif- 
ference to  me  which  you  take.  That's  a  good  horse 
you've  got."  Money  is  paid  and  a  receipt  given  for 
"one  horse,"  and  when  the  buyer  comes  to  lead  the 
horse  away  the  accommodating  dealer  throws  in  the 
halter  and  tie  strap.  "Take  it  along, "he  Bays,  "for 
that  horse  needs  a  good  strong  halter.  He  is  a  little 
wild  in  the  9table  at  times,  but  don't  you  pay  any  at- 
tention to  that.  He'll  come  around  all  right  in  a  few 
minutes  and  he's  sober  as  a  judge  once  you  get  him 
hooked  up." 

Here  the  dealer  deftly  squirts  a  few  drops  of  acid  or 
"hop"  medicine  on  the  horse  and  the  circus  begins. 
Lashing  out  with  one  foot  and  then  the  other  and 
then  with  both  together  the  horse  tries  in  vain  to 
shake  off  the  terrible  sting  caused  by  the  acid  and  tries 
to  bolt,  buckjump  and  roll  all  at  the  same  time.  If  his 
new  owner  has  not  already  let  go  his  halter  strap  the 
terribly-frightened  horse  soon  makes  him  let  go  and 
dashes  back  into  his  stall.  The  buyer  objects  to 
taking  such  a  dangerous  horse  and  is  told  to  take  his 
pick  from  among  the  others.  He  objects  and  wants 
his  money  back,  but  the  dealer  won't  listen  to  that 
and  the  gyped  man  finally  leads  off  a  $25  horse. 

"To  be  sold  for  a  bill  of  keep"  is  an  old-time  dodge 
that  is  pretty  sure  to  catch  the  farmer  or  a  person* 
who  has  only  a  small  capital.  A  fairly  good-looking 
hor6e,  with  teeth  doctored  to  disguise  its  age,  is 
generally  selected  to  fool  the  unwary  at  the  "keep" 
game.  The  prospective  buyer,  after  being  shown  the 
animal  and  given  the  price,  is  given  the  tale  of  woe  of 
how  the  horse  was  left  at  the  stable  by  a  professional 
man  and  a  bill  of  several  hundred  dollars  run  up  for 
his  feed  and  caretaking,  will  sell  for  $150,  but  the 
horse  must  be  gotten  out  of  town  into  the  country,  so 
he  will  not  be  reoognized  and  the  "gyp"  will  be 
responsible  for  all  after  claps.  Should  the  would-be 
victim  hesitate  a  capper  is  immediately  on  the  scene. 
He  rushes  in,  draws  the  gyp  to  one  side, and  in  audible 
tones  says:  "That  party  who  was  here  yesterday 
will  give  $200  for  that  horse  if  you  will  trust  him  for 
$50  for  two  weeks.  He  is  a  friend  of  mine  and  I'll  go 
his  security."  "No,  sir,"  replies  the  gyp,  "I'll  sell 
him  for  $150.  There  is  a  party  here  now  who  wishes 
to  buy."  The  party  gets  him,  he  is  taken  into  the 
country  and  the  gyp  clears  a  cool  $100. 


"Widow  lady  will  sell  six-year-old  Canadian  horse; 
fast  traveler;  suit  butcher,  grojer  or  country  use;  also 
will  sell  my  late  husband's  driving  turnout,"  etc. 
This  scheme  has  been  worked  for  a  half  century  and 
has  made  several  gyps  wealthy.  The  buyer  visits  a 
private  stable,  meets  a  colored  oran  dressed  in  livery 
rig:  "Sorry,  mistah,  but  de  missus  am  just  gone  out; 
but  her  son  is  somewhere  about.  I'se  jest  call  um." 
In  comes  Mr.  Gyp,  dressed  in  the  height  of  fashion. 
He  don't  know  much  about  the  horse,  that  ie  shown 
by  George,  the  coachman,  bui  knows  his  ma  wants  to 
sell,  as  she  is  going  to  Europe.  Will  take  $65  for 
papa's  favorite,  etc.  Good-looking  nag,  generally 
heavy  or  a  cribber,  worth  $20.  Sale  is  effected,  buyer 
gyped,  and  when  he  returns  the  plug  George  just  tells 
him  he  don't  work  for  dat  man  any  more. 

A  rank  kicker  is  worth  his  weight  in  gold  to  a  gyp 
if  properly  trained.  "To  train  a  kicker  right  you've 
got  to  educate  him  to  pull  any  kind  of  a  rig  when 
leading  him  and  to  kick  the  stars  out  of  the  sky  when 
anybody  gets  up  behind  to  drive  him, "  said  a  recog- 
nized gyp  the  other  day  while  bragging  of  the  trick9 
he  had  turned.  "You  see,  a  victim  comes  to  the 
stable  to  look  over  your  stock.  You  praise  up  the 
virtues  of  every  old  plug  in  the  stalls  except  your 
kicker.  Finally  his  eyes  rest  on  the  money  winner 
and  he  wants  to  buy  immediately.  'Is  he  sound? 
Will  he  work?'  and  other  such  questions  are  asked. 
Of  course,  he  is  sound,  no  cribber,  pull  a  ton  in  any 
harness.  Will  hitch  him  up  and  show  you.  The 
kicker  is  hitched  to  a  big  vehicle,  with  a  log  put  in 
the  wheels,  taken  by  the  head  and  he  pulls  like  a 
major.  Get  your  money— a  nominal  price — and 
victim  takes  horse  outside,  hitches  him  to  his  own 
wagon,  picks  up  the  lines  and  says:  'Get  ap.'  Then 
the  fun  begins.  Generally  the  top  and  front  of  the 
wagon  are  demolished  and  the  buyer  is  badly 
frightened.  You  are  astonished,  never  saw  him  do 
that  before,  etc.  Result,  horse  taken  back  at  a  dis- 
count of  $15  to  $20,  and  you  wait  for  the  next  customer. 
Say,  I  had  one  that  I  sold  four  times  in  one  day  and 
cleared  $75.    There  is  no  money  in  horse  trading. " 

"I  sold  three  fellows  from  the  same  town  up  the 
State  the  same  'hoss'  in  one  day,  or  at  least  they 
thought  it  was  the  same  horse,  until  they  met  at  the 
West  Philadelphia  freight  yard  to  ship  home,"  said 
another  gyp  who  seemed  proud  of  bis  profession. 
"Each  had  secured  a  separate  car,  but  they  shipped 
home  together  and  not  one  of  them  ever  squealed." 
"Did  they  ever  come  back?"  was  asked.  "Oh,  jes. 
One  fellow  dropped  in  one  day  and  said  it  was  a  good 
joke,  but  their  friends  were  not  'wise'  yet." 

Ice  companies  wanting  to  dispose  of  surplus  stock, 
gas  concerns  installing  the  motor  system,  brick 
company  having  no  use  for  stock,  express  and  transft  r 
shipping  companies  and  private  stables  wanting  to 
sell,  are  gyp  concerns  under  different  guises.  Every 
gyp  has  a  scheme  of  his  own,  and  they  all  make  a 
snug  profit  and  wear  diamonds.  A  genuine  business 
concern  when  wishing  to  dispose  of  its  horses,  be  the 
number  great  or  small,  does  not  stoop  to  bicker  and 
bargain  over  a  horse.  It  sends  its  entire  lot  to  the 
auction  block. 

The  above  is  a  sample  of  the  methods  employed  by 
gyp  dealers.  Most  of  their  advertisements  would 
lead  the  unsophisticated  to  believe  that  they  can  buy 
a  horse  worth  about  $1000  for  from  $65  to  $100,  when 
in  reality  the  aotual  value  the  animals  is  from  $15  to 
$25,  and  many  of  them  are  dear  at  that  figure.  There 
are  plenty  of  reliable  dealers,  men  of  property  who 
will  represent  the  animals  just  as  they  are.  It  is 
safer  to  patronize  that  class  than  to  secure  a  big 
bargain  which  in  the  majority  of  cases  will  turn  out 
like  a  "gold  brick  "speculation. — Philadelphia  Record. 

Great  Popularity  ot   Flying  Fox   in   the    Stud. 

That  English  breeders  appreciate  the  mistake  that 
was  made  when  they  allowed  Flying  Fox  to  be  sold 
and  taken  to  France  is  evident  from  the  statement  of 
"Clarion,"  in  Co unty  Gentleman.    He9ays: 

"The  number  of  English  mares  that  are  sent  every 
season  to  Flying  Fox  compensates  in  somemeasure  for 
the  loss  the  British  stud  sustained  by  the  expatriation. 
Credit  must  be  given  to  those  bleeders  who  have 
been  enterprising  enough  to  secure  nominations  to 
him  at  his  enormous  fee  of  600  guineas.  Not  that 
there  has  been  any  lack  of  English  applications  for 
services.  The  horses  success  has  been  so  phenomenal 
that  M.  Blanc  would  probably  have  had  no  difficulty 
in  doubling  the  number  of  mares  from  this  country 
that  have  been  subscribad  for  this  year.  I  mentioned 
last  week  that  Major  Piatt's  Primrose  had  foaled  a 
filly  by  Flying  Fox,  and  that  his  mares,  Sea  Air  and 
Surprise-Me-Not,  had  been  sent  on  a  visit  to  M.Blanc's 
horse.  I  learn  now  that  Mr.  R.  A.  Brice's  Hampton 
mare,  Lady  Rayleigh,  has  foaled  in  France,  where 
she  is  on  a-visit  to  the  son  of  Orme.  The  announce- 
ment is  made,  too,  that  the  nomination  Becured  by  the 
King  to  FlylDg  Fox  this  season  will  be  filled  by  the 
young  mare,  Nadejda,  who  was  a  woeful  disappoint- 
ment when  in  training,  but  may  make  amends  at  the 
stud.  She  is  full  sister  to  Persimmon,  Diamond 
Jifbilee,  and  Florizel  II.,  and  mating  her  with 
Fox  is  rather  a  daring  experiment  in  inbr

Game  and  Fish  Law  Changes. 

The  two  bills  printed  in  last  week's  issue  have  been 
signed  by  Governor  Pardee  and  are  now  in  effect  as 
part  of  the  statute  law  of  this  State. 

In  the  main  both  bills  are  generally  acceptable  to 
sportsmen.  The  open  season  on  ducks,  quail,  rail, 
curlew,  plover  or  other  shore  birds,  is  as  before  other 
changes,  four  months,  October  15  to  February  15,  the 
limit  bag  on  ducks  is  still  50  birds  and  this  variety  of 
game  is  not  on  the  non-sale  list.  The  limit  on  quail, 
doves  and  snipe  (and  all  shore  birds;  is  now  25  and  the 
sale  of  either  is  prohibited.  A  close  season  on  snipe 
prevails  from  April  lat  until  October  15.  This  we 
regard,  particularly  the  protection  that  is  given 
English  snipe,  as  one  of  the  be=t  features  in  Assembly 
820.  The  season  on  deer  is  cut  down  to  two  and  one- 
half  months  instead  of  tbree  and  one-half  months  and 
the  limit  is  two  bucks  for  each  sea-on  instead  of  three. 

The  bill  making  it  felony  to  kill  an  elk  was  also 
signed  by  the  Governor. 

The  section  of  the  Penal  Code  heretofore  supposed 
to  coutrol  the  actions  of  the  duck  netting  fishermen 
has  been  amended  so  that  tbe  pjssessio.n  of  game 
which  shows  the  appearance  of  illegal  capture  is 
prima  facie  evidence  of  law  violation. 

In  tb  j  fish  bill  changes  it  will  be  seen  that  tbe  close 

season  in  shrimp  has  been  taken  off — a   measure  that 

ived  as  much  condemnation  as  the   provision 

:"  iiing  the  exportation  of  shrimp  has  been  com- 

.  -.[. 


The  open  season  for  blnck  bass  has  been  increased 
one  month — January  1  to  June  1  being  now  the  close 
period. 

Tbe  limit  of  size  on  striped  bass  is  still  three  pounds. 

The  use  of  nets  on  all  streams  upon  which  a  fish 
hatchery  is  maintained  is  prohibited. 

The  open  and  close  seasons  on  sttelhtad  ard  other 
varieties  of  trout  have  not  been  changed.  A  limit, 
however,  is  placed  on  a  day's  catch,  50  trout — or, 
"who  has  in  his  possession,  during  any  one  calendar 
day,  trout  other  than  steelbead  trout  the  total  weight 
of  which  exceeds  25  pounds,"  whatever  this  may 
mean. 

The  taking  of  trout  by  any  other  means  other  than 
hook  and  Hue  is  probioiud.  This  will  or  should  stop 
netting  and  spearing  and  is  one  of  the  most  important 
features  in  the  new  bill-  Trout  less  than  one  pound 
in  weight  are  on  the  non  sale  list. 


San  Francisco  Fly-Casting  Club. 

The  postponed  Sunday  fly-casting  contest  No.  2 
took  place  last  Sunday.  Weather  conditions  were 
not  overly  favorable,  the  general  average  of  scores, 
however,  was  excellent.

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


SONGBIRD    PROTECTION. 

Section  1.  Section  six  hundred  and  thirty  seven 
a  of  the  Penal  Code  of  the  State  of  California,  is  here- 
by amended  to  read  as  follows: 

637a.  Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California, 
shall  at  any  time,  hunt,  shoot,  shoot  at.  pursue,  take, 
kill,  or  destroy,  buy,  sell,  give  away,  or  have  in  his 
possession,  except  upon  a  written  permit  from  the 
board  of  fish  commissioners  of  the  State  of  California 
for  the  purpose  of  propagation  or  for  education  or 
scientific  purposes,  any  meadow  lark,  or  any  wild 
bird,  living  or  dead,  or  any  part  of  any  dead  wild 
bird,  or  who  shall  rob  the  nest,  or  take  [sell  or  offer 
for  sale]  or  destroy  tbe  eggs  of  any  meadow  lark  or 
of  any  wild  bird,  is  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor;  provided, 
that  nothing  in  this  sectiOD  shall  prohibit  the  killing 
of  a  meadow  lark  or  other  wild  bird  by  the  owner  or 
tenant  of  any  premises  where  such  bird  is  found  de- 
stroying berries,  fruit  or  crops  groving  on  such 
premises  [,  but  the  birds  so  killed  shall  not  be  shipped 
or  sold  ]  The  English  sparrow,  sharp-shinned  hawk, 
Cooper's  hawk,  duck  hawk,  great  horned  owl,  bluejay, 
house  finch  [known  also  as  the  California  linnet),  and 
all  birds  otherwise  protected  by  the  provisions  of 
this  code  and  those  birds  commonly  known  as  game 
birds,  are  not  included  among  the  birds  protected  by 
this  section.  

"A    VICIOUS    MEASURE." 

Under  the  above  caption  the  Sacramento  Union 
rightly  styles  Braostetter's  bill  (passed  by  the  Senate) 
which  makes  it  a  felony  to  kill  an  elk.  Truly  the  way 
of  legislators  is  past  finding  out.    The  Union  says: 

"Men,  plenty  of  them,  have  been  hanged  for  killing 
deer,  but  that  was  in  the  olden  time,  under  a  very 
different  social  system  than  ours,  one  from  which  we 
of  this  generation  are  wont  to  congratulate  ourselves 
long  since  passed.  To  make  it  a  felony  to  kill  an  elk 
means  that  he  who  kills  a  representative  of  this  group 
of  the  deer  family  shall  be  confined  in  State's  prison, 
be  deprived  of  bis  rights  as  citizon;  in  a  word,  be  sub- 
jected to  all  the  humiliation  and  penalties  whicb  are 
meted  out  to  the  grand  larcenist,  the  highwayman 
and  the  most  depraved  of  criminals.  This  is  a  step 
backward  to  the  bad  medieval  days,  to  conditions  un- 
American,  un-Californian  and  without  reason  or  justi- 
fication. The  Branstetter  bill  is  a  reactionary  meas- 
ure, and  therefore  a  bad  measure. 

"But  apart  from  the  extravagance  of  its  penalties, 
the  bill  is  bad  because  like  all  measures  rchich  have 
not  behind  them  public  opinion,  conviction  under  it 
will  be  practically  impossible,  for  no  jury  made  up  of 
twelve  American  citizens  with  red  blood  in  their  veins 
will  be  party  to  sending  a  man  to  a  term  at  Folsom  or 
San  Quentin,  with  the  brand  of  felon  upon  him,  and 
the  consequences  of  it  upon  his  family,  becaue  he  has 


killed  an  elk.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  jurymen 
should  not  go  behind  their  verdict;  all  they  are  called 
upon  to  answer  is:  Did  the  defendant  kill  an  elk  as 
charged?  The  law  provides  that  tbe  judge  do  the 
rest.  But  the  average  jury  in  such  case  is  not  going 
to  say  that  the  judge  shall  visit  a  felon's  punishment 
upon  one  guilty  of  a  trivial  and  unimportant  offense. 
Better  all  the  elk  in  California  be  killed,  than  one 
man  be  deprived  of  his  liberty  at  Folsom  or  San 
Quentin  for  killing  an  elk.  In  other  words,  in  such  a 
case  the  jury  will  take  upon  itself  the  responsibility  of 
ignoring  the  law;  of  saying  that  it  shall  not  be 
enforced. 

"Laws  that  will  be  thus  lightly  held  are  demoraliz- 
ing. They  create  sympathy  that  is  deserved  for  a 
lawbreaker,  and  tend  to  bring  all  law  into  contempt, 
reason  enough  why  such  measures  should  be  frowned 
down  in  theLegislature,  whicb  comes  from  the  people, 
and  is  supposed  to  be  representative  of  them." 


A    REMARKABLE     INDOOR     CAST. 

In  the  anglers'  casting  tournament  in  connection 
with  the  Sportsmen's  Show  at  Madison  Square  Gar- 
den, E  C.  Leonard,  the  world's  champion  fly  caster, 
made  a  cast  of  143  feet  7inches,  a  new  world 's  record, 
beating  his  own  best  previous  performance  of  128  feet. 
It  was  in  tbe  single-handed  bait  casting  contest,  and 
eight  other  competitors  tried  conclusions  with  the 
champion. 

The  tank  was  130  feet  loEg,  and  Leonard,  when  he 
made  his  remarkable  cast,  threw  bis  frog  13  feet  7 
inches  outside  of  it  and  onto  the  rustic  bridge  which 
connects  the  island  with  the  mainland.  Mr.  Leonard 
comes  from  Central  Valley.  N.  Y  ,  and  is  42  years  old. 
He  has  competed  in  tournaments  for  the  past  twenty- 
two  years  and  holds  55  gold  medals.  In  1893  he  won 
Ell  the  open  events  at  the  Chicago  World's  Pair. 


FLY-CASTING. 

The  third  Saturday  and  Sunday  fiy-casting  contests 
at  Stow  lake  will  take  place  this  afternoon  and  to- 
morrow morning.  An  interesting  feature  of  these 
club  gatherings  at  the  lakeside  is  the  appearance  of  a 
number  of  enthusiasts  who  are  novices  in  the  sport 
but  who  are  rapidly  developing  into  skillful  handlers 
of  rod  and  line. 

FISH    COMMISSIONER    QUALIFIES. 

John  Bermiogham,  Jr,  this  week  filed  bis  creden- 
tials with  tbe  Board  of  Fish  Commissioners  as  the 
recently  appointed  Fish  Commissioner.  The  board 
now  has  its  legal  quota  of  three  commissioners.  In 
this  selection  by  Governor  Pardee,  tbe  sportsmen  and 
the  commonwealth  of  this  State  will  bavethehappy 
felicity  of  knowing  that  Commissioner  Bermingham 
is  the  right  man  in  the  right  place.  A  thorough  and 
enthusiastic  sportsman  himself,  he  is,  furthermore, 
en  rapport  with  the  varied  interests  that  are  in- 
directly beyond  the  observation  of  sportsmen  but 
essentially  a  large  part  of  the  commission's  duties  to 
keep  track  of.  Mr.  Berminghsm  i6  a  business  man  of 
much  executive  ability,  holding  a  leading  position  of

The  members  of  the  San  Francisco  Striped  Bsss 
Club  will  gather  at  Green  Brae  tomorrow  for  an  out-

sportsmen  with  some  "mystery '-' — whatever  it  is,  it 
will  be  good  and  palatable  for  Charles  is  an  artist  of 
high  degree.  

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


Differing  from  hay  fever,  appendicitis  and  other 
fashionable  maladies  that  are  enjoyed  (f  the  expres- 
sion be  permissible)  by  tbe  well-to-do,  is  the  epidemic 
now  prevalent,  numbering  its  victims  by  thousands 
and  favoring  no  especial  class  of  society.  Rich  and 
poor,  business  man  and  mechanic — all  are  suffering 
from  the  fever.  The  symptoms  most  noticeable  are 
the  uneaEy  manner  of  the  afflicted,  the  careful  scrutiny 
of  weather  signs,  the  eagerness  with  which  the 
patient  scanB  window  displays  of  sporting  goods 
bouses.    The  treatment  indicated  is: 

Rx.    One  double  barrel  hammerless  shotgun. . 

12  guage 

Smokeless  shells  (Selby  loaded)  quantum 

suf 250 

M   S.     Dose,  ad  lib.    To  be  taken  on  Sun- 
days. 

Patient  Bhould  be  allowed  to  visit  any  and  all  trap 
shooting  grounds  unmolested  and  should  not  be 
bothered  with  ordinary  business  cares  until  tbe 
attack  wears  away.  A  course  of  tbe  treatment  men- 
tioned will,  in  most  cases,  be  efficacious,  at  least,  until 
fall,  when  almost  invariably,  the  trouble  returns  with 
increased  intensity.  There  is  no  known  preventive 
once  a  victim  becomes  inoculated  with  tbe  germs  of 
this  disorder  and  it  grows  with  jearE — the  older  the 
patient,  the  more  severe  tbe  attack  There  is  no 
cure — if  there  was  the  doctor  would  be  lynched. 


A  feature  of  the  Union  Gun  Club  shoot  tomorrow 
will  be  the  big  team  race  between  Union  and  Empire 
club  shooters.  Much  interest  among  local  trap  Bhots 
has  been  manifested  in  this  contest — the  race  wili  be 
the  best  two  out  of  three  shoots.  The  second  shoot  is 
scheduled,  we  believe,  for  the  Empire  grounds  next 
month.  

The  Millwood  Gun  Club  members  will  Emash  blue 
rocks  at  Mill  Valley  Junction  tomorrow.  A  good  at- 
tendance of  shooters  is  anticipated  as  the  card  for 
the  day  is  an  attractive  one.

Gridley  sportsmen  and  shooters  from  nearby  points 
will  hold  a  big  blue  rock  shoot  on  June  10th  and  lltb. 
The  tournament  will  be  under  the  auspices  of  Messrs. 
Humble  and  Bjlu  and  promises  to  draw  a  large  crowd. 


The  Union  Gun  Club  will  hold  the  first  regular  olub 
blue  rock  shoot  at  Ingleside  tomorrow. 


The  California  Wing  Club  opened  the  live  bird 
season  at  Ingleside  on  the  19th  inst.  Weather  condi- 
tions, while  not  overly  favorable,  might  have  been 
worse.  In  the  club  race  three  straight  scores  were 
made  by  Clarence  A.  Haight,  Dr.  E  G.  McConnell 
and  Phil  B.  Bekeart.  The  four  eleven-bird  men,  M. 
O.  Feudner,  W.  J.  Golcher,  A.  M.  Shields  and  E. 
Klevesahl,  were  also  in  the  money  to  high  guns.  W.

Some  Terriers  and  Terrier  Expression. 


One  of  the  chief  points  that  a  good  judge  naturally 
looks  for  in  a  Terrier,  whether  it  be  for  bench  honors 
or  breeding  purposes,  is  character  and  expression. 
The  novice,  hearing  a  discussion  between  experts  on 
this  all-important  subject, for  allimportant  and  vitally 
essential  to  a  well  bred  dog  it  undoubtedly  is,  may 
wonder  wherein  lies  this  attractive  feature  so  much 
sought  for  and  so  highly  prized.  To  gain  the  knowl- 
edge and  experience  which  shall  put  him  on  a  level 
with  those  who  have  owned,  bred  and  reared  Terriers 
for  the  best  part  of  half  a  century,  he  must  make  a 
study  of  th9  dogs  of  toiay;  the  qualities  of  the  dogs 
of  the  past  he  must  perforce  be  content  to  take  on 
hearsay  or  from  records  of  their  achievements,  says  a 
writer  in  The  Country  Gentleman.  More  than  once 
the  question  has  been  propounded.  Are  we,  in  the 
dogs  we  breed  now,  losing  the  true  Terrier  character 
and  expression?  It  is  a  difficult  question  to  answer, 
and  with  the  generality   of   the  show-bench   Terrier 

before  us,  he 

"Wakes  the  bitter  memory 
Of  what  he  was,  what  he  is.  and  what  must  be." 

But,  first,  it  may  be  as  well  to  see  if  we  understand 
what  the  old  breeders  designated  "Te rrier  character. " 
The  true  Fox  Terrier,  though  all  other  varities  may 
be  included,  has  an  appearaneeof  "dash"  and  vivacity 
which  eioglts  him  out  as  the  avowed  exterminator  of 
all  obnoxious  animals  of  a  lower  status,  and  his  cheer- 
ful temper  and  readiness  for  all  kinds  of  work  render 
him  an  excellent  sportsman's  companion,  It  must  be 
remembered  that  the  modern  Fox  Terrier  has  no  re- 
corded ancient  lineage  behind  him  His  evolution 
has  practically  taken  place  within  the  last  half- 
century,  and  he  was  evolved  for  practical  purposes, 
and  principally  in  association  with  Foxhound  kennels, 
where  his  duties  were  the  ejectment  of  foxes  that  had 
too  hastily  retired  to  subterranean  quarters  and 
badgers  who  were  in  evil  repute  with  the  farmers. 

Breeding  was  not  carried  on  then  on  the  lines  of 
points  of  perfection,  such  as  are  demanded  by  the 
show- bench  critics  of  the  present,  but  rather  with 
regard  to  the  game  qualities  of  the  strain;  "the  will 
to  do,  the  soul  to  dare"  were  attributes  more  in  favor 
than  a  long,  lean  head  and  correct  ear  carriage  in  the 
hard-faced  TerrierB  who  lived  bard  lives  and  who, 
when  sent  to  ground,  were  expected,  first  and  fore- 
most, to  do  what  they  were  sent  to  do  It  was  from 
these  working  Terriers,  these'  lords  of  the  lion  heart" 
that  the  true  Terrier  expression  was  obtained,  and  as 
all  the  then  known  strains  were  largely  drawn  upon 
to  produce  the  show  specimen  it  is  a  matterof  interest 
to  note  if  and  to  what  extent  this  particular  char- 
acteristic has  deteriorated. 

That  this  expression  and  character  was  largely 
represented  in  the  strains  of  Terriers  accustomed  to 
and  constantly  employed  in  field  sports  is  due  to  the 
nature  of  their  occupation,  which  from  its  variety, 
caused  them  to  be  always  on  the  offensive  or  defensive; 


and  were  it  necessary  still  further  to  trace  this"trait" 
in  their  character  back  through  the  ages,  we  should 
arrive  at  the  period  when  the  dog  was 

"As  free  as  Nature's  firs!  made  man, 
Ere  the  base  laws  of  servitude  began." 

But  the  question  is  not  a  retrospective  one.  It  deals 
with  the  present,  and  must  be  looked  at  prospectively 
as  it  affects  the  future  of  the  race.  It  behooves 
breeders  carefully  to  study  the  matter  if  this,  one  of 
the  most  mportant  points  of  value  in  a  breed  of  sport- 
ing dogs,  or  dogs  bred  ostensibly  for  sporting  purposes, 
is  not  to  be  lost  sight  of.  Assuming  that  the  Terriers 
of  today  are  descended  from  strains  in  which  their 
ancestors  were  workers  to  the  manner  born,  and  that 
there  is  really  any  noticeable  loss  of  that  character 
which  was  so  conspicuous  in  their  forebears,  with  the 
few  generations  which  have  intervened  it  can  hardly 
have  been  lost  to  any  considerable  extent  and  should 
rather  be  considered  as  dormaDt  Heredity,  which  is 
an  important  factor  in  breeding  for  characteiistics,  is 
lost  sight  of  in  breeding  for  points,  but,  at  the  6ame 
time,  it  takes  more  than  a  few  generations  to  break 
its  power.  The  remedy,  which,  if  any,  is  required, 
lies  in  the  Terrier  breeders'  own  hands.  What  that 
remedy  is  the  lesson  of  the  past  should  teach  them 
Of  courSH.  the  same  condition  of  things  cannot  in  all 
cases  prevail  at  the  present  time,  but  too  little  ad- 
vantage is  taken  of  opportunities,  which  may  be  found 
for  the  seeking,  for  the  preservation  of  inherited 
character,  and  too  much  for  the  competitive  display 
of  mere  physical  points  for  personal  enrichment. 

Herein  lies  the  secret.  The  institution  of  dog  shows 
led  to  a  standard  of  excellence  as  regards  structural 
perfection  being  Bet  up,  and  breeders  turned  their 
attention  toward  attaining  th'S  ideal  Terrier  This 
led  to  honored  prodigies  of  theshow  ring  being  viewed 
commercially  through  spectacles  which  magnified  the 
risks  they  might  run  if  entered  in  an  educational 
school  of  sport  for  the  development  of  latent  instinct. 

To  realize  this  one  has  but  to  be  familiar  with  the 
ways  of  the  show  world.  The  methods  of  'teaching 
the  young  idea"  have  but  one  aim,  that  of  impressing 
on  him  how  to  display  his  symmetrical  form  to  the 
best  advantage  before  the  eyes  of  the  judge  by  means 
of  an  oft-times  offered  piece  of  liver  or  his  kennel 
plaything,  an  india  rubber  ball,  and  with  no  more 
outward  and  visible  sign  of  that  "dash  and  vivacity" 
which  is  his  birthright  than  is  evinced  by  an  occas- 
sional and  half-bearted  desire  to  discount  his  fellow 
competitors'  chances.  Due  appraisement  of  Mb 
anatomy  having  been  made,  he  trots  meekly  back  to 
his  bench,  whence  he  surveys  the  passing  world  with 
beatific  and  benign  expression.  Is  this  as  it  should 
be?  It  seems  that  we  may  echo  the  words  of  Milton 
and  say  that  this  custom  is  "vain  wisdom  all,  and 
false  philosophy."  Under  a  sporting  judge,  what 
weight  would  a  few  scars  gained  in  honorable  conflict 
with  fox,  badger  or  otter  carry?  With  reasonable 
conformation  to  the  required  standard  they  should 
insure  a  recognition  as  in  one  that,  endowed  with  the 
attributes  of  his  race  and  having  been  tried,  had  not 
been  found  wanting. 

It  is  the  practice  with  some  owners  of  large  kennels 
of  Terriers  who  have  sporting  inclinations  to  keep  a 
few  of  their  inferior  specimens  for  working  purposes, 
but  to  what  extent  does  the  blood  of  these  "unsuit- 
ables, "in  which  the  spirit  of  sport  is  kept  alive, 
mingle  with  the  rank  and  fashion  of  the  establish- 
ment? The  wise  and  scientific  breeder — for,  before 
all,  breeding,  to  be  successful,  must  be  on  scientific 
lines — uses  it  judiciously,  the  unwise  not  at  all,  and  it 
is  the  constant  breeding  from  the  laurel  wreathed 
champions  of  the  show  bench,  combined  with  an  utter 
disregard  of  fostering  the  sporting  proclivities  of  the 
progeny,  that  has  brought  us  to  a  period  when  it  is 
necessary  for  us  to  give  pause  and  "take  thoughi  for 

the  morrow."

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


SEATTLE     NOTES. 

The  communication  given  below  from  Mr.  Charles 
McAllister,  the  energetic  secretary  of  the  Seattle  Dog 
Fanciers'  Association,  is  of  much  interest  to  the 
fancy  and  is  in  line  with  .sentiments  that  now  should 
prevail  with  the  rank  and  file  of  Coast  dogdom.  A 
coalition  among  fanciers  around  the  circuit  would  do 
much  to  consolidate  general  interests  and  bring  about 
the  ioterment  of  past  factional  discord  in  its  own 
ashes. 

Wc  call  attention  to  the  announcement  of  the  club's 
bench  show,  etc.,  on  page  14  of  this  issue  and  com- 
mend the  show  to  the  well  wishes  and  generous  sup- 
port of  our  readers  in  the  same  -pirit  and  for  the 
same  general  good  of  dogdom  that  we  will  and  do 
urge  a  reciprocative  support  from  the  North  for  the 
'Frisco  show,  for  in  unity  there  is  strength  and  now 
is  the  time  to  ride  in  the  band  wagon. 

The  Seattle  Dog  Fanciers' Association  will  hold  its 
first  annual  bench  show  under  American  Kennel  Club 
rules,  at  Madison  Park  Pavilion,  Seattle,  April  26,  27, 
28  and  29,  1905. 

From  assurance  received  from  the  fanciers  of  the 
Coast,  the  indications  point  to  one  of  the  largest  and 
best  exhibits  that  has  ever  been  held  in  this  city. 

Many  valuable  trophies  have  been  donated  to  be 
distributed  among  the  winners  in  the  respective 
classes,  among  which  is  the  Frederick  &  Nelson 
Challenge  cup,  a  magnificent  trophy,  for  the  best 
four  dogs  in  the  show,  of  one  breed,  exhibited  by  the 
same  owner.  A  minature  of  the  trophy  will  be  pre- 
sented each  year  in  commemoration  of  the  win.  With- 
out doubt  this  trophy  is  the  most  valuable  that  has 
ever  been  offered  by  any  show  giving  club  on  this 
Coast,  and  theadvantagesof  its  win  must  beapparent. 

Among  the  other  valuable  trophies  are  the  follow- 
ing: The  President's  cup;  the  Vice-President's  cup; 
the  Secretary's  cup;  the  Lnwman  &  Hanford  cup; 
the  Fischer  Bros.' cup;  the  Hubbart  cup;  the  Post- 
master's cup;  the  Bonny-Watson  cup;  the  Power  cup; 
the  Williams  cup;  the  Rainier  Hardware  cup;  the 
Benninghausen  cup;  the  Whiten  Hardware  cup;  the 
Seattle  Hardware  cup,  with  several  others  that  have 
been  assured.    The  California  Cocker  Club  offers  a 


valuable  trophy  for  the  best  Cocker  in  the  show.  Mr. 
J.  P.  Norman  offers  a  trophy  for  the  best  American 
bred  Airedale  Terrier  in  the  show.  The  Russian 
Wolfhound  Club  of  America  offers  a  club  medal  in 
bronze  for  the  best  Russian  Wolfhound.  The  regular 
prizes  will  be  in  cash. 

We  beg  to  call  attention  ,o  the  fact  that  Portland 
and  Seattle  shows  are  held  under  the  rules  of  the 
American  Kennel  Club  this  season,  and  we  ask  the 
cordial  support  of  the  fanciers  of  the  Coast. 

A  win  on  the  circuit  this  season  means  something, 
and  the  larger  the  exhibit  the  greater  number  of 
points  will  be  to  the  win  toward  a  championship. 
Seattle,  especially,  we  feel  is  entitled  to  favorable  con- 
sideration by  reason  of  having  the  opposi'ion  of  a 
show  giving  club  in  thi6  city,  and  while  this  associa- 
tion anticipates  no  serious  opposition  from  abroad, 
every  effort  will  be  made  by  the  members  of  the  old 
Seattle  Kennel  Club  to  discourage  local  entries  in  the 
show  given  by  this  association. 

The  Seattle  Kennel  Club  has  published  in  the  daily 
press  of  this  city  their  intention  of  holding  a  show  on 
April  12-15,  1905,  (the  dates  of  the  Vancouver,  B.  C. 
show)  and  while  all  fanciers  know  that  show  will  be 
but  a  local  show  at  the  best,  and  their  wins  will  count 
for  nothing,  no  one  can  deny  that  it  will,  to  a  certain 
extent,  have  a  damaging  effect  upon  the  efforts  of 
this  association. 

Overtures  have  been  made  for  the  consolidation  of 
the  two  clubs,  but  unfortunately  have  been  submitted 
in  such  a  manner,  and  such  conditions  imposed  by  the 
old  club,  that  they  could  not  be  entertained  by*  this 
association. 

James  J  Lynn,  of  Port  Huron,  Michigan,  will  place 
the  awards.  He  comes  to  us  with  the  best  of  recom- 
mendations, and  that  he  will  be  satisfactory  in  that 
capacity  is  assured. 

In  view  of  these  conditions  this  association  earnestly 
requests  the  hearty  support  of  the  fanciers  of  the 
Coast.  

GOLDEN    STATE    COLLIE    CLUB.

have  been  appointed  a  show  committee  to  take  charge 
of  the  club  exhibit  in  May.  At  a  special  meeting  of 
the  club  on  Thursday  evening  several  new  members 
were  elected.

GOOD  DAY  FOR  GOOD  DOGS. 

W.  F.  Waltson's  Irish  Water  Spaniel  bitch  Kitty 
Kelly  whelped,  to  Ch.  Dennis  C,  nine  puppies  (3  dogs) 
on  March  17th.  The  puppies  are  all  strong  and 
lively  and  bid  fair  to  round  up  into  fine  shape.  The 
breeding  is  of  the  best.  Kitty  Kelly  was  sent  out 
here  not  long  ago  by  Mr.  Carson,  of  Toronto.  Cb. 
Dennis C.  is  well  known  as  one  of  the  best  of  the 
breed  on  the  Coast.

POINTS    ON    POINTERS. 

Although  the  Pointer  is  among  the  most  favored 
sporting  dogs  in  this  country,  few  shooters  are  aware 
of  the  number  of  varieties  in  which  it  is  found  through- 
out the  Continent.  Indeed,  judging  from  the  many 
methods  for  which  it  is  trained,  taking  the  Continent 
throughout,  the  Pointer  in  its  different  families  is 
probablv  the  most  popular  dog  of  all, barring  Hounds, 
with  the"  sporting-man.  The  Poodle  Pointer,  a  wire- 
haired  or  hard-coated  variety,  is  used  for  a  multipli- 
city of  purposes  in  both  France  and  Germany.  We 
have  it  represented  as  retrieving  a  jay  and  standing 
guard  over  a  roebuck,  as  well  as  performing  the  ordi- 
nary work  expected  of  him  in  this  country.  In 
America  the  ordinary  Pointer  is  trained  to  retrieve. 
There  are  many  different  Pointers  in  Germany,  some 
of  which  have  the  short,  hard,  wiry  coat,  common  to 
our  wire-haired  Fox  Terriers;  the  Italian  Pointer  is 
well  known  In  its  own  oountry ;  and  we  have  the  Dutch 
Pointer,  which  is  also  in  many  varieties.  The  French 
Pointers,  or  Braques,  form  as  important  a  family  as 
the  Spanish  Pointer,  from  which  it  Is  possible  our 
own  EngliBh  Pointer  and  the  Continental  varieties  or 
families  have  come.  It  would  be  interesting  to  trace 
the  origin  of  all  these  different  varieties.  They  vary 
slightlv  in  character,  which  is  proof  of  their  common 
origin"  No  doubt  most  of  the  French  and  German 
strains  have  at  one  time  or  another  been  crossed  with 
the  Hound,  and  from  them  is  quite  traceable  where 
the  wire-haired  Hound  has  been  introduced.  The 
crisp  nature  of  their  coats  on  the  longer  haired 
Pointers  indicate  this  much  more  than  a  cross  of  the 
Setter,  as  the  latter  would  produce  longer  and  com- 
paratively soft  or  silky  hairs.  This  Hound  cross  is 
shown,  too,  in  the  feet,  which  in  the  harder  coated 
families  are  round  and  thick, asthat  of  the  Foxhound, 
rather  than  a  little  longer,  which  is  usually  considered 
best  for  the  true  Pointer.  Some  of  the  German 
Pointers  would  be  useful  in  this  country,  for  they 
combine  handsomeness  with  a  reputation  for  all  round 
work  that  at  any  rate  at  one  time  was  thought  to  be 
desirable.  However,  in  England,  fortunately  or 
unfortunately,  fashionable  sportsmen  require  a  differ- 
ent dog  for  the  various  phases  of  his  sport;  a  retriev- 
ing Setter  is  considered  to  be  wrong,  and  the  up-to- 
date  Retriever  man  will  not  let  his  dog  hunt  for  any 
game  until  it  haB  been  shot  at,  killed  or  wounded, 
dome  of  the  Braques,  the  Bourbon  to  wit,  is  entirely 
denuded  of  his  tail;  thereby  his  appearance  is  spoiled, 
without  any  corresponding  advantage  being  gained. 
Other  Continental  Pointers,  like  the  Italian  and  some 
of  the  German  varieties,  are  likewise  "docked,"  the 
reason  for  which  is  not  easy  to  discover.  Probably 
their  owners  persist  in  the  belief,  long  since  exploded 
in  this  country,  that  the  strength  and  power  of  the 
amputated  stern  is  transferred  by  a  peculiar  ordina- 
tion of  nature  to  the  back!  The  facts  for  what  would 
be  an  extremely  interesting  history  of  the  various 
families  and  strains  of  the  Pointer  must  be  sought  in 
France  and  Germany  even  more  than  in  Spain,  the 
archives  of  which  have  already  been  thoroughly 
searched  by  Mr.  W.  Arkwright,  whose  fine  volume  on 
the  variety  is  so  well  known. 


Pigeon  Shooting  Upheld. 

The  following  article  taken  from  the  American  Field 
will  be  read  with  interest  by  Coast  sportsmen.  It  is 
very  gratifying  to  know  that  common  sense  has  for 
once  prevailed  in  proceedings  taken  against  shooters 
who  killed  live  birds  at  the  traps.  It  is  rare,  indeed, 
that  the  lower  tribunals  have  the  backbone  to  go  con- 
trary to  what  it  believed  to  be  the  popular  feeling — <  r 
rather  the  puritanical  intolerance  and  fanatical  perie- 
cution  of  the  cruelty  to  animals  cult  following,  that 
stands  for  alleged  popular  feeling.  It  has  been  the 
belief  of  all  concerned  in  the  prosecution  of  such  cases, 
both  in  court  and  in  print,  that  cinching  the  shooters, 
if  it  may  be  an  error,  is  one  on  the  safe  3ide. 

When  these  cases  reach  the  appellate  courts,  the 
grandstand  players  are  in  the  background,  the  merits 
of  the  case  are  put  through  a  legal  analysis  compati- 
ble with  facts  and  in  accordance  with  law. 

The  decision  quoted  below  is  not  the  first  on  this 
question  and  should  not  be  the  last  until  the  rights  of 
sportsmen  are  thoroughly  established.  We  will  go  a 
bit  further  in  this  matter,  to  the  extent  that  a  law 
passed  by  a  legislature  and  prohibiting  pigeon  shoot- 
ing is  unconstitutional  and  is  not  worth  the  paper  it 
was  written  on. 

"A  decision  of  much  interest  to  live  bird  shooters  at 
the  traps  has  just  been  handed  down  by  Judge 
Chretien  of  New  Orleans,  reversing  the  decision  of  a 
lower  court,  from  which  the  case  was  appealed  by 
Louis  Gerties,  president  of  the  City  Park  Gun  Club  of 
New  Orleans,  who  had  been  fined  for  cruelty  to  ani- 
mals, on  complaint  of  an  officer  of  the  S.  P.  C.  A. 

The  court's  ruling  that  killing  pigeons  at  the  traps, 
and  that  are  used  for  food  purposes,  is  legitimate 
sport,  not  cruel,  and  more  humane  by  far  than 
methods  in  vogue  in  slaughter  houses  and  market 
places  to  secure  food,  is  the  logical  deduction  of  a 
normal  mind. 

Judge  Chretien  ruled  that  trap  shooting  is  encour- 
aged by  the  law,  at  target  practice  tended  to  render 
citizens  competent  to  protect  and  guard  the  honor  of 
the  nation  in  time  of  invasion  or  war.  Thecourt  then 
proceeded  to  quote  the  State  game  laws  for  the  pro- 
tection of  birds  and  game,  showing  that  the  shooting 
of  wild  pigeons  is  not  prohibited  at  any  time  during 
the  year. 

Without  being  molested,  therefore,  anyone  so  in- 
clined has  the  right  to  go  outside  of  the  limits  of  the 
city  a'  d  kill  wild  pigeons  without  being  answerable 
there. or  to  any  authority.  It  is  not  and  cannot  be 
contended  that  such  shooting  would  make  the  party 
amer  able  to  the  charge  of  cruelty  to  animals,  any 
nan  the  shooting  of  ducks  in  season,  'luch  a 
i  tion  would  be  equal  to  affording  protection  to 


all  birds,  and  would,  in  effect,  prohibit  the  use  of 
ducks,  snipes,  partridges  or  any  other  bird  as  human 
food.  If  it  be  true,  therefore,  that  a  hunter  has  the 
right  to  shoot  a  pigeon  on  the  wing  when  arising 
from  briers,  trees  or  bushes,  and  that  the  party  so 
shooting  would  not  be  violating  the  law  protecting 
animals  or  pigeonsfrom  cruelty,  why  would  the  shoot- 
ing of  a  pigeon  on  the  wing  flying  from  a  cage  be 
more  cruel?  The  method  of  killing  is  the  same: 
death  results  from  similar  means,  that  of  being  shot, 
and,  therefore,  is  not  more  cruel  in  one  instance  than 
in  the  other.  To  kill  an;animal  or  a  bird  is  at  all  times 
and  always  cruel  per  se,  yet  the  necessities  of  man- 
kind demand  that  these  cruelties  be  perpetrated,  as 
man's  existance  depends  upon  this  practice.  The 
beef  which  is  rendered  senseless  by  a  blow  on  the 
head  with  a  heavy  hammer  and  is  pierced  through 
the  heart  with  the  butcher's  sharp  edged  knife  to 
extract  life  and  blood  is  cruelly  treated,  yet  no  one 
has  pretended  or  can  pretend  that  beeves  should  not 
be  killed  because  it  is  cruel  so  to  do,  and  that  man 
should,  therefore,  feed  on  vegetables,  fruits  and  escu- 
lents. Pigeons  in  law  are  considered  to  be  wild  birds 
as  long  as  they  have  no  habitual  resting  place  within 
bounds  of  anyone's  premises,  and  as  long  as  they  are 
atlarge  they  are  and  become  the  property  of  those 
who  take  or  capture  th6m.  As  wild  birds  one  may 
shoot  them  without  in  any  manner  running  contrary 
to  the  provisions  of  the  ordinance  in  question.  As 
private  property,  the  owner  has  the  undoubted  right 
to  kill  them.  Would  it  be  pretended  that  the  usual 
mode  of  killing  chickens,  by  twisting  their  necks,  is 
more  humane  and  less  cruel  than  shooting  them?  If 
not,  it  seems  clear  to  me  that  the  owner  would  have 
the  right  to  shoot  his  chickens  or  pigeons,  as  the  case 
may  be,  without  running  counter  to  the  ordinance  in 
question.  Therefore,  I  am  of  tbe  opinion  that  the 
mere  shooting  of  pigeons  is  not  a  cruelty  under  the 
ordinance. 

It  was  contended  that  the  pigeons  were  unneces- 
sarily killed,"  which  in  the  ordinance,  as  construed 
oy  Judge  Chretien,  means  "wantonly  destroyed;" 
that  is,  killing  without  good  motives  or  killing  simply 
with  a  desire  to  destroy  and  hurt;  so,  if  a  good  reason 
existed,  then  the  act  would  not  be  cruelty  under  the 
ordinance. 

The  opinion  then  goes  on  to  state  the  objects  and 
purposes  of  the  gun  club,  which  are  to  perfect  the 
members  in  the  use  of  the  gun,  to  develcp  good 
marksmanship,  promote  accuracy  of  the  eye,  judg- 
ment of  distances, steadying  the  nerves  and  preserving 
coolness.  "Millions  of  dollars,"  concludes  the  judge, 
(;are  expended  annually  by  the  national  government 
in  giving  our  soldiers  target  practice,  and  that  it  is 
not  a  useless  expenditure  the  results  of  the  naval 
battles  of  Manila  and  Santiago  have  fully  demon- 
strated. Aside  from  these  reasons  of  high  national 
and  political  concern,  the  testimony  shows  that  the 
birds  killed  at  these  shoots  are  sold  to  restaurants  and 
used  as  human  food.  I,  therefore,  conclude  that  they 
are  not  and  have  not  been  unnecessarily  killed,  and 
that  the  defendant  in  that  sense  has  not  violated  the 
ordinance. 

"For  these  reasons  the  judgment  of  the  lower  court 
is  reversed." 


The  Pacific  Coast  Sportsmens'  Show. 

California,  the  sportsman's  paradise,  will  have  its 
grand  showing  in  this  respect  within  the  four  walls  of 
the  Mechanics'  Pavilion,  the  first  two  weeks  of  April, 
during  the  nature  show  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Forest, 
Fish  and  Game  Association.  No  lover  of  rod,  guD, 
forest,  field  or  mountain  can  afford  to  miss  the  big 
exhibition.  The  hunter  and  fisherman  will  find  con- 
genial hours  to  be  speDt  because  the  show  will  be  of 
the  things  that  interest  him  most. 

It  is  the  boast  of  the  association  that  it  will  have 
the  finest  aquaria  ever  shown  in  the  West.  Barring 
perhaps  the  monster  Jewish  and  tuna,  which  are 
difficult  to  keep  alive  after  coming  from  their  native 
waters,  specimens  of  every  variety  of  the  finny 
denizens  that  infest  our  streams  and  bays  and  ocean 
will  be  on  view  in  the  200  feet  of  aquaria.  A  hatchery 
in  operation  will  add  interest  to  the  fish  exhibit.  The 
disciples  of  Izaak  Walton  will  find  further  amuse- 
ment and  instruction  in  the  fly-casting  tournament 
scheduled  for  April  6th  and  12th. 

Game  birds  from  field  and  marsh  will  also  be  ex- 
hibited in  their  variety  and  the  wild  animal  depart- 
ment will  cover  a  large  area  with  everything  from  a 
rabbit  to  a  bear  as  examples  of  what  California  pro- 
duces to  interest  the  sportsman.  Outdoor  life  in  all 
its  phases  will  be  depicted.  Nothing  has  been  left  un- 
done that  might  add  to  the  scope  of  this  first  of  a 
series  of  annual  expositions  that  have  become  so 
popular  in  the  larger  Eastern  cities. 

In  the  gallery  will  be  found  a  wonderful  art  exhibit 
of  pictures  pertaining  to  the  general  plan  of  the  show. 
The  gun  clubs  will  have  booths  where  they  will  show 
their  paraphernalia  and  trophies  of  the  hunt.  There 
will  also  be  a  host  of  trade  exhibits  of  things  that  have 
to  do  with  outdoor  life.  Encampments  of  Indians  and 
Uncle  Sam's  soldiers  and  marines  will  help  along  the 
general  effect.  For  entertainment  there  will  be  a 
bewildering  array  of  tournaments  of  outdoor  sports 
from  fly-casting  to  tennis,  running  the  gamut  of  rifle 
and  revolver  shooting,  lacrosse  and  other  games. 

Financed  and  handled  as  it  is  by  representative  men 
of  this  city  that  can  hardly  fail  of  being  the  best  that 
the  country  has  ever  seen.  There  will  be  enough 
special  attractions  during  the  thirteen  days  to  provide 
a  three  ring  circus  with  material  for  many  years  to 
come. 

The  Blue  Rock  Gun  Club  of  Alameda,  held  their 
opening  shoot  Sunday,  March  5,  1905.  Out  of  the  39 
shooters  present  28  shooters  shot  the  celebrated 
Winchester  Leader  Shells  primed  with  the  Win- 
chester New  No.  4  primer.quick  and  reliable — adapted

A  Herd  of  Elks  Resists  Removal. 

Several  months  ago  we  recounted  a  scheme  for  ore- 
serving  a  noted  band  of  elk  ranging  in  Koi  n  county  by 
removing  the  herd  to  a  new  and  apparently  favorable 
range  in  one  of  the  valleys  of  the  Sequoia  Park  game 
reserve.  Everything  was  propitious  and  a  vexed 
question  was  thought  to  have  been  settled.  There 
was  one  drawback,  however,  the  animals  were  an 
unconsidered  butintraetible  element  in  the  transpor- 
tation project  and  if  the  following  story  is  true  the 
aBe  will  become  one  of  puzzling  and  vexatious  con- 
sideration for  those  particularly  concerned. 

Within  less  than  200  miles  of  Los  Angeles,  in  the 
northwestern  part  of  Kern  county,  on  the  great  ranch 
of  Miller  &  Lux  at  Button  Willow,  is  a  herd  of  200  elk 
magnificent  specimens  of  the  noble  animals  that  at 
one  time  roamed  in  thousands  over  the  great  western 
plains,  states  the  Los  Angeles  Times.  Sometimes 
passengers  on  the  McKittrick  branch  of  the  Southern 
Pacific  catch  a  view  of  these  animals  in  the  dis.ance 
as  the  cars  rush  by.  Persons  who  have  visited  and 
ridden  over  the  country  have  seen  them  at  a  little 
distance,  but  it  is  well  nigh  impossible  to  approach 
them,  as  they  are  the  most  timid  of  all  animals,  tak- 
ing alarm  and  fleeing  at  the  first  approach  of  danger 

The  elk  was  hunted  for  years  by  Indians  and  white 
men,  first  with  bow  and  arrow,  and  then  with  rifle 
but  this  is  forbidden  at  Button  Willow.  The  herd 
was  for  years  the  pride  of  Miller  &  Lux,  the  great 
ranch  and  cattle  owners  of  the  San  Joaquin  Valley 
who  have  had  a  standing  reward  out  for  the  appre- 
hension of  any  persons  molesting  this  herd  of  noble 
animals.  Thus  they  have  thrived  and  increased  in 
numbers,  until  they  have,  in  some  cases,  become  a 
source  of  annoyance,  and  their  owners  are  facing  the 
problem  of  their  ultimate  disposition.  To  place  them 
where  they  can  be  preserved  for  all  time,  in  a  con- 
genial home,  and  where  they  can  be  cared  for  and 
protected  is  the  desire  of  those  who  have  kept  them 
so  long. 

Every  year  the  herd  increases,  and  it  is  now  likely 
that  an  effort  will  be  made  to  remove  the  young  and 
place  them  in  the  Yellowstone  National  Park.  Some 
time  ago  the  great  corporation  of  Miller  &  Lux,  that 
has  succeeded  the  noted  firm  of  cattlemen  of'  that 
name,  presented  the  elk  to  the  United  States  govern- 
ment, on  condition  that  they  be  so  removed.  The 
government  readily  agreed  to  the  terms,  and  prepara- 
tions were  made  for  their  removal  last  fall.  It  was 
intended  to  have  a  grand  round-up,  suoh  as  is  held  on 
the  cattle  ranches  at  branding  or  shipping  times.  The 
elk  were  to  be  gotten  together,  driven  to  the  shipping 
pens  at  Button  Willow,  loaded  into  cars  like  cattle, 
and  shipped  by  the  railroad  to  their  new  homes. 

Hundreds  went  to  see  the  round-up.  Some  there 
were  who  predicted  failure,  and  the  result  proved 
that  they  were  right.  The  plan  was  all  right  on  paper, 
but  the  elk  objected  when  the  time  came  to  put  it 
into  practice.  They  successfully  defied  even  Uncle 
Sam's  authority,  so  when  the  round-up  ended  they 
were  in  full  possession  of  the  field,  with  the  effort  to 
remove  them  ended  probably  forever  so  far  as  the 
older  animals  iB  concerned.  It  is  now  expected  they 
will  be  left  undisturbed  in  their  old  home  for  the 
balance  of  their  natural  lives. 

About  a  score  of  the  best  cowboys  from  the  great 
ranches  of  Miller  &"  Lux  and  the  Kern  County  Land 
Company  were  employed.  Cautiously  tbey  went 
about  their  task.  After  much  labor  and  several 
narrow  escapes  from  a  stampede  at  tbe  very  outset, 
the  animals  were  brought  together  and  started  ©n  a 
drive  of  seven  miles. 

Twice  it  was  necessary  to  cross  the  railroad,  and 
both  times  the  herd  balked.  The  occasion  calied  for 
the  exercise  of  all  the  skill  the  herders  could  command. 
They  stood  sniffing  the  air  as  though  smelling  danger 
from  afar.  Their  limbs  trembled,  and  they  pawed 
the  ground  in  terror.  They  did  not  seem  to  fully 
comprehend  what  they  feared,  and  did  not  apparently 
realize  as  yet  that  they  were  being  driven. 

By  dint  of  care  and  coaxing  they  were  finallly  per- 
suaded to  cross  the  railroad,  but  the  sense  of  danger 
seemed  to  increase.  Finally,  as  they  neared  the  pen, 
it  appeared  that  they  knew  they  were  being  forced. 
In  a  few  minutes  the  wildest  terror  prevailed,  and  the 
herd  stampeded,  heading  for  the  hills. 

Once  there  all  the  work  of  the  vaqueros  would  count 
for  naught.  Throwing  caution  to  the  winds,  they 
spurred  their  cow  ponies  on  in  pursuit  to  head  them 
off.  Failing  in  this  some  had  recourse  to  their  lassoes 
and  in  a  few  minutes  a  dozen  or  more  of  the  animals 
were  roped. 

But  never  had  the  cow  punchers  in  all  their  experi- 
ence tackled  anything  like  it.  The  elk  were  simply 
worked  up  to  a  frenzy.  Wildly  they  charged  hither 
and  thither,  fighting  blindly  with  the  fury  and 
strength  begotten  by  fear. 

After  hours  of  work,  late  in  the  afternoon,  the 
herders  succeeded  in  corraling  about  fifty  and  driving 
tbem  into  the  pen,  where  they  were  effectually  shut 
in  by  the  high  board  fence,  and  the  effort  to  get  them 
into  the  cars  began. 

But  in  the  pen  the  trouble  started  anew.  The  sight 
of  the  whitewashed  fencs  and  the  hundreds  of  peering 
human  faces  aroused  the  timid  animals  to  still  greater 
frenzy.  Right  and  left  they  dashed,  hurling  them- 
selves against  the  fence  and  against  each  other  one 
minute,  then  huddling  together  in  abject  terror  the 
next.  Several  died  from  sheer  fright  and  some  from

Feeding  Dairy  Cows. 

Prof.  E.  W.  Clark  of  the  Agricultural 
College,   at  Logan,   Utah,  at    the   State 
Dairy  Convention  presented  a  most  ex- 
cellent paper,  of  which  the  following  is  a 
Bumtnary.     In  feeding  cows,  man   i9  the 
moat  important  factor,  and  he,  as  well  as 
the  cow,  should    be  of  a  dairy  tendency,  i 
Failure  is   more  often   due  to   the   man 
than  to  the  cow.     He  should  be  kind,  j 
generous,   intelligent,   persevering     and . 
always  a  student,  and  keep  abreast  of  the 
times,  ae  much  as  the  lawyer  or  doctor. 
If  the  greatest  results  are  to  be  obtained, 
he  must  treat  his  occupation  as  a  pro- 
fession. 

The  cow  ia  a  very  economical  producer 
of  the  best  kind  of  human  food.  One 
pound  of  dry  matter  in  the  milk  is  pro- 
duced from  eight  pounds  of  dry  mat- 
ter in  the  food,  while  one  pound  of  food 
in  pork,  mutton  and  beef  is  produced 
from  9,  21  and  27  pounds,  respectively,  of 
dry  matter  in  the  food.  The  cow  is  also 
a  consumer  of  cheap  food,  and  therefore 
economical. 

As  to  food,  no  other  article  can  take  the 
place  of  milk  in  man's  diet.  Two  quarts 
of  milk  contain  as  much  nutriment  as  a 
pound  of  sirloin  steak.  Many  solid  foods 
are  digested  better  when  consumed  with 
milk,  and  as  a  diet  for  the  sick,  milk  is 
unsu.-passed.  The  people  of  the  United 
States,  unfortunately,  consume  less  than 
one-half  pint  of  milk  ^er  person  per  day. 

The  cow  should  be  fed  according  to  her 
needs ;  hence  we  need  to  understand  the 
composition  of  her  body,  of  the  milK  and 
of  the  food.  A  cow,  to  do  her  beBt,  must 
have  tood  from  wnich  milk  is  made;  food 
containing  considerable  protein  or  nitro- 
gen. To  tnis  claBB  belong  lucern,  clover, 
bran,  wneat,  oatB,  peas,  beaiiB.eic.  Lucern 
is  rich  in  milk-iorming  material,  and 
because  of  this,  and  its  cneapneas,  it 
is  tne  best  single  tood  we  nave  for  dairy 
cows.  Bran  is  very  much  ut  tne  same 
composition,  and  lor  tnat  and  other 
reasons,  cows  which  are  being  fed  lucern, 
should  not  have  more  than  1}  or  8  pouudB 
of  bran  a  day. 

In  order  to  get  from  cheap  forage  the 
amount  of  nutriment  that  a  cow  is 
capable  of  mauniacturing  into  unlK,  she 
should  be  well  developed— that  is,  should 
have  a  large  abuomen.  if  development  is 
lacking,  food  in  concentrated  form  must 
be  given  in  order  to  keep  up  the  milk 
now.  A  light  milking  cow,  capable  ot 
consuming  a  large  quantity  ol  lucern, 
will  do  fairly  well  without  grain,  but  the 
heavy  milker   muBt  have  it.     There  are

few  cows  that  will  not  benefit  by  it. 

Regularity  in  caring  for  the  cow  should 
be  the  practice.  The  best  reBults  will  be 
obtained  by  feeding,  watering  and  milk- 
ing at  regular  hours.  Anything  that 
causes  a  nervous  disturbance  of  the  cow 
will  reduce  the  milk  How. 

The  cow  should  receive  all  the  food  Bhe 
will  clean  up,  twice  a  day,  and  no  more. 
Any  food  left  from  a  meal  should  be  taken 
away  and  replaced  with  freBh  food.  After 
animals  have  breathed  over  their  food,  it 
becomeB  stale,  and  to  force  them  to  eat  it 
will  reduce  the  milk  flow.  The  feeder 
must  be  watchful,-lor  no  two  animals  can 
be  fed  exactly  tne  same.  He  should  study 
each  individual  cow,  and  Bee  how  the 
amount  and  character  of  food  affects  them 
and  leed  them  accordingly. 

tfree  access  to  good  water  is  important. 
Water  unfit  for  human  consumption  is 
unfit  for  cows.  Water  from  the  well  ie 
much  better  than  cold  water  in  winter 
time. 

Tne  cow's  training  should  begin  early 
in  life,  tshe  should  receive  the  best  ol 
care  until  she  has  produced  tier  third 
calf.  If  she  is  well  developed  she  should 
commence  milking  at  two  years  old, 
rather  than  at  three.  The  amount  of  rest 
a  cow  should  have  depends  upon  the  age 
of  the  cow  and  her  development.  With 
two  year-old  heilers  there  should  be  15  to 
2U  months  between  the  first  and  second 
calf,  with  eight  to  twelve  weeks  just  before 
calving.  Older  cows  should  freshen  every 
twelve  months,  and  should  have  eigh 
weeks  rest  previous  to  becoming  fresh 
Too  long  a  reBt  produces  a  tendency  to 
lay  on  fat,  which  inj  urea  breeding 
qualities. 

It  is  well  to  improve  the  quality  of  our 
cows,  Out  we  should  first  make  the  most 
of  what  we  have.  We  can  improve  a 
great  deal,  at  a  very  small  cost,  by  breed- 
ing our  best  cows  of  high  type  to  good 
sires.  The  first,  laht  and  most  important 
thing  is  good  care. 


Make  it  a  specialty  to  note  and  breed 
only  from  the  very  finest  specimens  and 
greatest  egg  producers.  Now,  don't  for- 
get this !  You  had  better  have  this 
painted  in  large  letters  over  the  hen 
house  door  if  there  is  any  danger  ycu  are 
going  to  forget  it.  "Like  will  produce 
like,"  but  you  understand  it  is  nature  to 
breed  back  sometime?,  and  the  better 
your  foundation  stock  that  has  been  bred 
in  line,  the  better  will  this  old  saying 
hold  true.  Do  not  breed  or  keep  on  the 
place  a  bird  that  is  disqualified  by  the 
standard.  Lookout  for  wry  tails,  de- 
formed beaks,  crooked  backs  and  breast 
bones  and  other  defects.  I  often  run  on  to 
disqualified  birds  in  the  show  room. 
This  proves  that  breeders  are  not  very 
well  posted  or  very  careless  about  select- 
ing exhibition  birds.

beyond  it  as  occasion  may  require. 

Roughage  of  some  sort,  of  course,  the 
horses  must  have,  but  when  they  are  get- 
ting plenty  of  cut  hay  moistened  with 
treacle  water,  tbey  do  not  require  much 
in  the  long  Bhape.  Again,  a  pound  of  hay 
per  hundredweight  of  live  horse  is  a  good 
rule  to  follow,  and  what  is  fed  cut  up  into

Plumping  a  Thin  Horse. 

Corn  meal,  bran,  cut  hay  and  molasseB 
may  be  sately  counted  on  to  lateen  mm 
horses  more  quickly  than  any  ocner  com- 
bination, but  a  teed  ol  dry  grain  should 
be  given  at  least  once  every  iwo  days  lor 
the  sake  of  variety.  CracKed  corn  with 
some  times  a  leed  of  oats,  if  possible,  will 
prove  the  best  lor  this.  Ot  course,  they 
must  not  be  given  more  than  they  will 
clean  up,  for  then  they  will  get  stalled, 
and  it  will  take  some  time  to  get  them 
back  to  full  speed  again,  and  it  is  here 
that  the  eye  of  the  master  muBt  govern. 
A  ration  of  two  pounds  of  molasses,  four 
pounds  of  cracked  corn  and  two  quartB  of 

bran,  with  plenty  of  cut  hay,  will  be 
found  a  great  flesh-former.  The  molaSBes 
is  reduced  with  water,  poured  over  the 
cut  hay,  and  then  the  ground   grain  is 

mixed  all  through  the  mass.    This  makes 

a  heavy  ration,  and  bo  is  the  same  amount 

of  barley  meal  fed  in  precisely  the  same 

way,  but  it  will  do  the  work.    A  feed  of 

the  grain,  as  described,  in   the  morning, 

one  of  the   boiled   barley  at  night,  and  a 

ration  of   dry   ground     barley  at   noon 

would  make  an  ideal  combination  for  the 

purpose  named.    If  oatmeal  is  to  be  had 

at  anythiog  like  a  moderate  price  a  little 

of  it  may  be  used,  but  if  it  is   high   it 

should  not  be  purchased.    The  corn  and 

the  boiled  barley  may  be  mixed  in  equal 

proportions  if   desired   and  fed   with    the 

bran  and    molasses    and  cut    hay.       As 

stated,  variety  is  always  good. 
Caution  is  advised  in  starting  horses  on 

full  feed.    It  is  better  to  err  on   the  side 

of  losing  a  few  pounds   by   going  a  little 

Blow  at  first  than  it  is  to  get  into  trouble 

by  trying  to  force  the  animals  too  quickly 

on  to  tne  heavy  ration.    As  a  rule  to  go 

by,  it  is  well  to  feed  per  day  one  pound  of    Address  at 

grain  for  every  hundred    pounds   of   live   COMMERCIAL  PRINTING  HOUSE 

weight  in  the  horse.    They  should  have 

more  than  this  as  a  general  rule  when  at 

the  height  of  the  feeding  period,  but  each 

horse  should  have  his  ration  dealt  out  to 

him  separately  according  to  his  capacity. 

After  a  horse  is  thriving  on  this  amount 

of  grain    satisfactorily     he    should   have 

more  if  he  asks  for  it,  but  the  danger  line 
is  usually  not  far  ahead  when  that  point 
is  rer.ched.  But  as  no  real  rule  of  thumb 
r  ai  ( per  yet  been  formulated  that  would 
'■i\t  all  cases,  the  feeder  must  accept 
13  a  basiB  and  then    work   it  and

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU    ABE,    BEAD    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  in  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks— a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  we  imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  in  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  clean  in  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  black  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  is  much  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  first-class  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  enduranoe.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as  "fine  as  peaohes,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  clean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  thn  brightest  prospeot  for  good  crops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  F.  Singmaster,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
is  proud  to  say  we  have  had  extremely  good  success  in  making  sales.  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales,  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expeot  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stock  of  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  discount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

DILLCARA 

PEDIGREE: 

DILLCARA,  foaled  1902 by SIDNEY  DILLON  23157 

First  dam,  QUYCARA  2:18|      by GUY  WILKES  2867  (2:15^) 

Second  dam,  BISCARA by DIRECTOR  2:17 

Third  dam,  BICARA by HaROLD 

Fourth  dam,  BELLE by MAMBRINO  CHIEF 

Fifth  dam,  BELLE  LUPE by BELLFOUNDER  (Brown's) 


The  above  dam*  in  this  youn*  stallion's 
pedigree  are  the  choicest  The  first  dam  is  a 
young  brood  mare  with  a  record  of  2:i82£;  the 
second  dam  is  the  dam  of  4  in  the  list  with 
records  of  2:1RU.  2:18?i,  2:24H  and  2:27,  respec- 
tively; the  third  dam  was  the  dam  of  5  with 
records,  2:21?^,  2:21%,  2:263^  etc,  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast.  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Chief 
and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mia;  the  fourth  dam  was  the  dam  nf  McCurdy's 
Hambletonian  2:26H-  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire  Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood, etc.  Hence  from  his  dams  have  come 
two  great  families — the  Belmont-Nutwood 
and  the  Pancoasi-Pat re  n-Patron age-Prodi- 
gal families  The  dam  of  the  hire  and  the 
dams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sires.  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  dam  of  Cupid  2:18.  who 
produced  weil;  Lady  Bunker,  the  dam  of  Guy 
Wilkes,  was  the  dam  of  Wm  L.,  sire  of  Aste], 
and  El  Mahdi  2:25^  and  Declaration,  who 
were  each  tne  sire  of  several  good  ones;  Dolly. 
the  dam  of  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
2:25H  and  Thorndale  2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  colt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  ho'ders.  They  have  also  produced 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
levelheaded  and  the  largest  money  winners 
in  the  trotting  world.  The  first  four  trace  in 
the  male  line  to  Hambletonian  10  through 
anoestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandsires.  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  six  crosses  of  Hambletonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  produoing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  each  of  which  goes  to  him  through 
dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 


Individually,  this  young  stallion.  DILLCARA.  is  as  good  as  h*s  pedigree.  He  is  of  the  stout, 
blocky  type,  without  coarseness,  and  he  is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  "f  natural  speed  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  hands  of  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecting  that  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney.  Director.  Direct  and 
Nutwood  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 
purposes. 

DILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Francisco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SERVICE  FEE  S40.

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU    ARE,    READ    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  Interested  in  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks— a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  wt  imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  in  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  clean  In  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  black  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  psunds.  He  Is  muoh  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  first-class  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  endurance.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as  "fine  as  peaohes,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  clean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  thi  brightest  prospeot  for  good  orops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
muni  ty  in  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  F.  Slngmastor,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
Is  proud  to  say  we  have  had  extremely  good  success  In  making  sales.  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales,  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expect  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stock  of  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  mako  a  liberal  disoount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

'THE  DATE  IS  POSTPONED  for  the  closing  of 
entries  to  the  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trot- 
ting Horse  Breeders  Association,  and  Monday,  May 
1st  is  the  date  now  set.  The  association's  Directors 
had  set  the  date  for  April  3d,  which  is  one  month  later 
than  the  date  of  closing  last  year,  but  the  horsemen 
who  have  been  unable  to  work  their  trotters  and 
pacer3  much  during  the  unusually  wet  winter  Cali- 
fornia has  experienced  this  season  were  hardly  ready 
to  pick  the  classes  in  which  to  start,  consequently  a 
petition  was  circulated  at  all  the  principal  training 
tracks  and  largely  signed  asking  for  a  postponement. 
This  petition  reached  Secretary  Kelley  on  Thursday 
of  this  week,  only  four  days  before  the  date  of  closing 
originally  fixed  and  advertised,  but  he  immediately 
got  into  communication  with  the  Directors  and  they, 
ever  ready  to  do  anything  in  reason  to  please  the 
horse  owners  and  trainers,  granted  the  petition  and 
set  the  date  of  closing  for  Monday,  May  1st.  Before 
that  date  arrives  it  is  believed  that  three  or  four  other 
meetings  will  be  arranged  and  programs  announced 
and  tbe  California  Circuit  will  have  a  definite  shape. 
The  number  of  horse3  in  training  in  California  is  very 
large  at  the  present  time,  but  more  than  half  of  them 
are  getting  their  first  lessons,  and  trainers  will  not 
be  able  to  tell  before  the  first  of  May  whether  they 
will  be  fast  enough  to  race  or  not.  If  six  or  eight 
meetings  can  be  arranged  the  probability  is  that 
Secretaries  will  receive  the  largest  list  of  entries  in 
years,  and  large  fields  will  rule  in  every  event.  Los 
Angeles,  the  State  Fair  and  the  Breeders  meeting  are 
the  only  ones  announced   thus  far,  but  if  the  other 


LOS  ANGELES  DRIVING  CLUB  MEMBERS 
are  displaying  the  proper  spirit  of  enthusiasm 
and  will  give  Saturday  afternoon  matinees  more  fre- 
quently in  the  future.  Secretary  Redpath  arranged 
a  card  of  eight  races  last  Saturday  to  accommodate 
all  those  who  desired  to  start  their  horses,  but  even 
then  many  were  left  out  and  the  program  was  too 
long  to  finish  before  dark.  Heretofore  Thanksgiving 
day  has  opened  the  matinee  season  and  programs  have 
been  arranged  for  every  holiday  until  May  30th,  when 
the  season  has  closed,  but  this  year  matinees  will  be 
held  all  through  the  summer  months  except  during 
the  time  the  regular  circuit  is  going  on.  When  the 
new  three  quarter  mile  track  is  finished  in  Golden 
Gate  Park,  San  Francisco  will  have  a  Driving  Club 
organized  on  the  same  lines  as  the  Los  Angeles  club 
and  the  leading  amateur  clubs  of  the  East,  and  fre- 
quent matinees  will  be  held.  Friendly  contests  be- 
tween the  clubs  will  also  be  arranged,  the  San  Fran- 
cisco amateurs  visiting  Los  Angeles,  and  the  gentle- 
men from  the  South  returning  the  visit.  There  is  no 
cleaner,  grander  or  more  health-giving  sport  than 
road  driving  and  matinee  racing  where  the  glory  of 
winning  is  the  only  reward.  San  Francisco's  new 
speedway  will  be  finished  before  this  year  is  closed 
and  will  be  the  finest  track  of  the  kind  in  the  world. 


THERE  WILL  BE  RACING  at  the  California 
State  Fair  this  year,  and  good  racing  at  that, 
better  racing  probably  than  was  given  last  year 
although  there  will  be  but  seven  days  of  it  instead  of 
twelve.  The  Sacramento  Union  says  the  new  mile 
track  has  been  laid  out  by  County  Surveyor  Boyd,  or 
at  least  some  of  the  corner  stakes  have  beien  set,  and 
it  is  expected  that  plowing  will  be  begun  soon,  as 
work  on  the  race  track  is  the  first  thing  that  can  be 
conveniently  started.  Architect  A.  M.  Allen,  who  is 
to  have  charge  of  the  construction  of  the  buildings  at 
the  new  Agricultural  Park,  left  for  Chicago  Thurs- 
day. He  will  inspect  the  State  Fair  grounds  of 
Illinois,  Michigan,  Minnesota,  Indiana,  Kentucky  and 
other  states  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  the  latest 
data  in  regard  to  appropriate  structures  It  will  take 
Mr.  Allen  nearly  a  month  to  make  the  inspection. 
After  that  plans  will  be  drawn,  and  then  twenty  days 
will  be  required  for  advertising  for  bids,  so  that  it 
will  be  about  two  months  before  much  can  be  done  at 
new  Agricultural  Park.  After  that,  however,  it  is 
expected  that  things  will  begin  to  hum,  as  it  will  be 
necessary  to  bend  every  energy  to  the  utmost  in  order 
to  get  ready  for  the  fair  in  September. 


Live  Stock  at  Lewis  &  Clark  Exposition. 

PORTLAND.  Or.,  March  24,  1905. 
Breeder   and    Sportsman:— Will    you     please 
mention   in   your  paper  that    the  dates  of  tbe  Live 
Stock  Show  to  be  held  at  the  Lewis  &  Clark   Centen- 
nial Exposition,  Portland,  Oregon,  are: 

Horses August  28th  to  September  8th. 

Eotries  close  August  1st. 

Cattle,  sheep,  swine  and  goa's Sept.  19th  to  29th. 

Entries  close  August  15th. 
We  are  offering  cash  prizes  on  all  classes  of  regis- 
tered stock,  and  a  one  way  freight  rate  haB  been 
arranged  for  all  railroads.  The  premium  list  will  be 
off  the  press  in  a  few  days,  and  will  be  mailed  to  all 
applicants. 

While  we  regret  to  chronicle  the  fact  that  we  are 
not  to  have  a  State  fair  this  year,  where  California 
horsemen  have  in  the  past  few  years  been  competing 
for  our  rich  stakes  and  purses,  we  are  to  have  a  great 
big  horse  show  held  in  connection  with  the  Lewis  & 
Clark  Centennial  Exposition,  which  is  open  to  the 
world.  The  prospects  are  very  promising'  for  a  large 
display  of  fine  horses.  The  draft  and  coach  horse 
breeders  are  making  special  efforts  in  this  direction, 
and  what  would  be  more  fitting  for  a  State  that  has  a 
national,  yeB,  a  world's  reputation  for  breeding  the 
very  highest  clasB  of  standard  bred  trotters,  and  has 
the  proud  distinction  of  producing  the  fastest  trotter 
in  the  world,  to  send  up  a  representative  exhibit  of 
standard  bred  trotters  to  thiB  fair.  While  the  East- 
ern breeders  are  preparing  to  6end  out  in  large  num- 
bers the  draft  and  coach  horse,  the  making  of  an  ex- 
hibit in  the  standard  bred  classes  will  be  left  entirely 
to  the  Pacific  Coast  breeders. 

I  understand  the  California  legislature  made  a 
liberal  appropriation  to  exhibit  their  State's  products 
at  this  fair,  and  why  not  use  part  of  this  fund  in  send- 
ing up  not  only  your  horses,  but  live  stock  of  all 
kinds.  Oregon  did  this  last  year  at  St.  Louib  and 
won  honors  of  more  value  to  the  State  in  her  live 
stock  stock  department  than  any  other  department 
there,  and  with  but  little  expense.  I  make  these 
early  suggestions  that  your  live  stock  breeders  may 
take  advantage  of  what  seems  to  me  a  golden  oppor- 
tunity to  advertise  one  of  their  State's  greatest  re- 
sources. Yours  very  truly, 

M.  D.  Wisdom, 
Superintendent  Live  Stock  Department. 

Conditions  at  Detroit  Not  the  Same  as  Buffalo. 


COL  J.  C.  KIRKPATRICK  of  this  city  is  carry- 
ing a  vei  y  handsome  0  pen  face  gold  timing  watch 
that  was  presented  to  him  last  Thursday  by  his 
friends  on  the  water  front,  the  occasion  being  his 
retirement  from  the  State  Harbor  Commission,  of 
which  he  has  been  a  member  for  several  years.  The 
Colonel  was  also  presented  with  an  elegant  whip  made 
from  one  piece  of  whale  bone  studded  with  ivory  the 
handle  being  ivory  and  gold.  The  presentation  speech 
was  made  by  Commissioner  Spear  and  the  occasion 
was  a  pleasant  one  all  around.  While  Col.  Kirk  patrick 
is  one  of  Sau  Francisco's  leading  and  busiest  business 
men,  managing  the  city 's  largest  hotel  and  also  the 
immense  Sharon  estate  as  well  as  being  a  director  in  a 
dozen  other  private  and  public  enterprises,  his  friends 
on  the  water  front  well  knew  that  his  chief  pleasure 
and  recreation  is  the  driving  and  timing  of  his  horseB 
bo  the  parting  gifts  were  selected  accordingly,  and 
thoy  are  very  highly  prized  by  the  recipient. 


THE  THREE  HEAT  PLAN  is  being  pretty  gener. 
ally  adopted  by  the  Grand  Circuit  associations 
that  have  so  far  announced  programs,  and  the  result 
will  be  watched  with  interest  by  all  concerned.  When 
the  heats  are  below  2:15,  three  heats  are  enough,  but 
on  the  tracks  where  the  majority  of  races  are  in  time 
Blower  than  that  and  very  largo  fields  compete,  we 
believe  the  three  in  five  plan  will  draw  more  entries, 
although  the  rule  which  sends  horses  to  the  stable 
that  are  not  in  the  money  at  the  end  of  three  heats  is 
an  excellent  one  and  improves  the  contests,  as  is  also 
the  case  when  the  conditions  require  the  race  to  end 
after  five  heats  There  is  a  certain  fascination  how- 
ever about  a  long  draw  out  contest  that  is  not  to  be 
denied.  Let  a  group  of  horsemen  be  talkingover  past 
races  and  it  is  in  the  split  heat  ones  that  are  best 
remembered  and  arouse  the  greatest  enthusiasm. 

Sixteen  trotters  were  recently  shipped  from  New 
York  City  by  EmilJacobseD  to  Morgenstere&  Ruzicka, 
Vienna,  Austria,  the  horses  being  figured  of  class 
enough  to  have  a  marked  influence  on  the  racing  in 
Austria  this  coming  summer.  Included  were  several 
colts  and  fillies  by  Medio,  a  stallion  that  has  been 
shown  at  the  National  Horse  Show  with  much  success 
both  as  an  individualand  sire. 


Secretary  Walter  J.  Snyder  of  The  Detroit  Driving 
Club  wishes  to  impress  upon  horsemen  that  the  con- 
ditions governing  the  $10,000  M.  and  M.  and  $5000  C. 
of  C  at  Detroit  are  positively  not  the  Buffalo  plan  as 
has  been  published  in  many  journals  While  they  are 
on  the  three  heat  plan,  still  the  conditions  are  far 
different.  Especially  is  this  true  in  charging  the  h% 
from  money  winners.  At  Buffalo  a  horse  is  charged 
$400,  h%  of  the  $8000,  every  time  he  finishes  in  the 
money  in  the  $10,000  event,  while  at  Detroit  he  pays 
$125,  h%  of  the  actual  amount  raced  for,  $2500  in  each 
heat.  The  same  proportion  is  in  the  $5000  events. 
The  winner  of  a  heat  at  Buffalo  receives  $1200,  but  in 
addition  to  having  paid  $500  to  start  in  the  race  he  is 
taxed  $400  additional, thus  leaving  him  $300  net,  while 
at  Detroit  a  winner  of  any  heat  receives  $1300  and  is 
charged  $125  additional.  Add  to  this  the  cost  of 
starting  in  the  race — $500 — and  it  leaves  a  net  profit  of 
$675  against  Buffalo  $300.  Remember  this  illustration 
is  of  one  heat  only  the  same  horse  can  go  on  and  win 
the  other  two  heats.  Take  tbe  horse  finishing  third 
in  any  heat  at  Buffalo,  he  receives  $480,  of  this  he  is 
charged  that  $400.  At  Detroit  he  receives  $5(0  and  is 
only  charged  $125. 

It  is  for  such  reasons  as  given  above  that  Secretary 
Snyder  doea  not  wish  horsemen  to  confuse  Detroit 
with  the  Buffalo  plan. 


A  Universal  Stable  Remedy. 

If  It  could  be  left  to  a  vote  of  the  horse  owners  over  this 
country  to  determine  what  the  most  valuable  stable  remedy  Is, 
theone  that  is  aviilabieto  t<eat  the  most  of  the  characteristic 
hoise  ailments-  and  which  would  effect  the  mist  speedy  and  per- 
manentcures  we  do  not  think  there  Is  much  doubt  about-  what 
tne  result  wouid  be  We  believe  tbat  Kendall's  :-pavm  Cuie 
woud  be  chosen  by  almost  common  consent.  The  vote  would  In- 
clude thousands  of  persons  who  have  been  using  tbis  n<>r>e  remedy 
continuously  for  as  m»ny  as  thirty  years  It  w.  uld  include 
peop.ewno  have  begun  to  use  it  every  year  since  Us  original  com- 
pounding by  Dr  B  J.  Kendall,  tneemiuent  veterinarian,  una  have 
continued  its  use  ever  since  Tbe  simpte  tru  h  is  that  no  remt  dy 
has  ever  been  found  to  take  the  place  of  Kendall's  Spavin  Cure, 
We  believe  we  would  be  borne  out  in  the  statement  by  the  gener- 
ality of  horse  owners  aod  veterinarians.  It  is  their  rtmedy  for 
spavins,  ringbones,  cubi,  splints,  wounds,  in  fact  all  the  most 
common  ailments  of  the  horse  What  other  remeay  has  been  so 
widely  used,  or  has  continued  for  ^o  many  years:1  What  other 
remedy  for  the  horse  can  be  found  wherever  there  is  a  drug  store? 
People  have  learned  to  know  by  u-ing  it  and  thedemand  exists 
everywhere.  Of  course  it  i*  generously  adveri  1  ed;  an  ad  is  to  be

borne  out  bv  those  "who  always  keep  it  onhaDd.  It  is  a  remedy 
which  our  readers  will  do  well  to  keep  n  the.r  drug  store  or  write

JOTTINGS.  |H 


THE  NEW  ORGANIZATION  in  Los  Angeles  "looks 
good  tome."  Those  Southern  Californians  are 
all  right.  Recognizing  the  fact  that  the  day  of  the 
old  district  fair  has  passed  in  this  State  and  that  if 
those  interested  in  harness  horse  matters  want  to  see 
any  good  harness  racing  they  must  do  something 
themselves,  the  Los  Angelenos  have  jumped  into  the 
ead  and  are  arranging  a  program  that  will  cause 
every  horse  owner  and  traiDer  in  the  State  to  begin 
'boosting"  for  the  orange  belt,  and  in  fact  they  are 
already  at  it.  My  friend  Geo.  Beckers,  owner  of 
Zombro  2:11,  writes  me  that  the  Los  Angeles  Harness 
Horse  Association  has  already  banked  $15,000  sub. 
scribed  by  the  members,  which  is  certainly  an  earnest 
of  their  good  faith  and  enterprise.  The  fourteen 
$1000  purses,  which  will  probably  be  announced  next 
week,  will  give  all  classes  of  trotters  and  pacers  a 
chance,  and  the  two  and  three-year-olds  will  also  be 
provided  for,  with  $500  and  $600  purses.  The  associa- 
tion has  some  of  the  wealthiest  citizens  in  Los  Angeles 
on  its  list  of  members  and  proposes  to  give  two  meet- 
ings each  year,  one  to  open  and  another  to  close  the 
circuit.  It  will  be  strictly  a  harness  meeting,  no 
running  horses  or  bookmakers  to  be  permitted  to  put 
up  their  slates.  Auction  pools  and  mutuals  will  be 
the  only  means  of  bettior;  and  everything  is  to  be  run 
as  strictly  to  rule  as  possible.  The  directors  say  they 
will  have  square  racing  or  none.  All  that  harness 
racing  needs  in  any  locality  in  this  State  where  there 
is  a  good  track,  is  for  a  few  enterprising  horsemen  to 
organize  and  announce  a  meeting.  There  are  hun- 
dreds of  horses  in  training  whose  owners  would  rather 
race  at  home  than  to  ship  to  any  Eastern  circuit  ex- 
cept the  Grand  Circuit,  and,  of  course,  that  will 
always  get  the  fastest  and  best,  as  it  should,  as  the 
big  money  is  there,  and  I  hope  California  will 
always  be  represented  there  by  a  goodly  number  of 
high  class  competitors  for  the  different  purses  and 
stakes.  But  there  can  be  plenty  of  racing  here  at 
home  also,  and  there  will  be  if  the  Los  Angeles  enter- 
prise germ  can  only  be  distributed  through  this  part 
of  the  State  and  a  few  of  our  leading  horsemen  inocu- 
lated with  it.  I  hope  the  trains  from  central  and 
northern  California  which  will  take  trotters  and 
pacers  to  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  in  July  will  carry 
enough  horse*  to  crowd  all  the  stalls  at  Agricultural 
Park  and  cause  the  Los  Angeles  trainers  to  double  up 
in  order  to  accommodate  the  strangers.  They'll  do 
it,  too,  in  a  gracious  manner,  and  will  ask  the  boys  to 
come  again  and  bring  more  horses.  The  Los  Angeles 
horsemen  are  royal  entertainers,  the  latch  strings  on 
their  doors  are  always  out  and  they  are  boostirg  the 
trotting  game  for  its  own  sake.  So,  let's  all  resolve 
to  be  in  Los  Angeles  on  July  3d,  this  year. 


The  State  Fair  will  be  held  this  year  and  the  prob- 
abilities are  that  it  will  be  bigger  and  better  and 
attract  a  larger  crowd  than  any  fair  held  in  years. 
Out  of  the  debris  of  a  bad  failure  this  State  institu- 
tion, which  has  accomplished  much  in  the  past  for 
the  good  of  California,  has,  by  the  aid  of  the  Legisla- 
ture and  the  efforts  of  its  friends,  been  given  assist- 
ance from  the  State  Treasury  that  will  enable  it  to 
once  more  occupy  the  high  and  honored  place  it  was 
originally  Intended  to  fill.  The  Board  of  Directors 
is  now  trying  to  right  the  wrongs  of  the  past,  and 
should  receive  the  aid  and  support  of  every  cit'zen  of 
California  so  long  as  they  continue  to  do  this.  The 
first  step  they  have  taken  is  to  proclaim  a  seven-day 
fair  for  this  year  instead  of  the  tiresome,  money  los- 
ing twelve  days  that  has  been  the  custom  for  several 
years  past  The  fair  of  1905  will  open  on  Saturday, 
September  2d,  and  close  Saturday,  September  9th. 
The  Bpeed  committee  has  already  been  instructed 
to  prepare  a  good  harness  program  and  publish  it  at 
an  early  date.  Mr.  A.  VI.  Allen,  the  leading  archi- 
tect of  tracks  and  fair  buildings  in  America,  has  been 
engaged  to  draw  up  plans  for  the  new  buildings  and 
tracks,  and  has  already  left  for  the  East,  where  he 
will  inspect  the  State  Fair  grounds  of  Minnesota, 
Illinois,  Missouri  and  Ohio,  where  some  of  the  best 
fairs  of  America  are  annually  held.  He  will  be  gone 
three  or  four  weeks,  and  will  return  in  time  to  begin 
work  and  finish  much  of  it  in  time  for  the  fair  this 
year.  A  fine  mile  track  is  to  be  constructed,  build- 
ings for  the  housiog  of  live  stock  erected  and  a  tem- 
porary grandstand  put  up.  It  is  the  expressed  ob- 
ject of  the  directors  to  hold  a  fair  this  year  on  mod- 
ern lines,  and  as  free  from  the  objectionable  features 
of  former  years  as  possible.  The  iaaocial  statement  of 
the  association  disclosed  the  fact  that  '-it  has  $25,0l' 
for  ner  buildings  on  the  recently  acquired  ground  8 
east  of  Sacramento,  $30,000  allowed  by  the  genera' 
appropriation  bill   for  premiums,"  $6000  allowed   for 


printing,  $45,000  in  the  State  Treasury,  available 
when  the  claims  of  the  Board  are  allowed  by  the 
State  Board  of  Examiners  on  the  filing  of  the  deed  of 
the  Society  to  the  State  transferring  its  property  to 
the  latter;  $25,000  allowed  on  payment  of  debts  of  the 
Society;  $29,500  surplus  from  the  sale  of  old  Agricul- 
tural Park,  all  of  which,  with  cash  on  hand  for  cur- 
rent expenses,  gives  a  total  of  $161,500.  Against  this 
there  are  liabilities  amounting  to  $65,000.  Thus  the 
Society  is  solvent  in  the  sum  of  $96,500,  and  to  this  is 
to  be  added  the  asset  in  the  form  of  the  new  park  ac- 
quired, $22,000."  On  these  sums  and  its  income  from 
the  next  two  expositions  the  Society  must  live  for 
two  years.  The  very  first  thing  the  directors  should 
and  probably  will  do  is  to  order  the  payment  of  every 
indebtedness  to  horsemen  and  others  who  have  a  legal 
claim  against  the  association  If  they  want  a  big 
entry  list  to  their  purses  this  year  they  should  settle 
all  these  claims  before  entries  close.  If  this  is  done, 
every  horseman  in  California  will  be  ready  to  take 
his  coat  off  and  work  for  the  success  of  the  State  Fair 

of  1905.  

Now  ihat  the  State  Fair  has  set  its  dates  for  Sept. 
2d  to  9th  inclusive,  and  the  Los  Angeles  Harness 
Horse  Association  proposes  to  open  the  circuit  with  a 
six  days  meeting  from  July  3d  to  8th,  the  intervening 
weeks  should  be  arranged  and  meetings  announced 
by  the  associations  that  will  comprise  the  remainder 
of  the  California  Circuit.  There  are  just  eight  weeks 
between  the  closing  of  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  and 
the  opening  of  the  State  Fair.  Here  then  is  a  chance 
for  a  circuit  of  ten  meetings,  which  would  be  the  best 
Califoi  nia  has  seen  In  many  a  day.  TheBe  eight  inter- 
vening weeks  could  be  taken  by  Santa  Ana,  Fresno, 
Plesanton,  San  Jose,  Petaluma.  Santa  Rosa,  Vallejo 
and  Woodland.  After  the  State  Fair  the  horsemen 
could  take  in  such  small  meetings  as  took  their  fancy 
and  come  together  again  at  the  big  November  meetiDg 
at  Los  Angeles,  which  will  be  the  closing  one  of  the 
year.  Is  there  not  one  enterprising  horseman  at  each 
of  the  cities  named  who  will  take  the  lead  in  an  effort 
to  have  a  good  harness  meeting  in  his  town  this  year, 
and  make  it  a  member  of  the  California  Circuit?  The 
Breeders  Association  will  hold  its  annual  meeting  at 
one  of  the  places  named  and  may  give  two  or  three 
more  meetings  if  the  local  people  do  not  care  to  take 
tbe  matter  in  hand.  Fresno,  San  Jose,  Petaluma, 
Santa  Rose  and  Woodland  have  been  suggested  as 
places  where  the  Breeders  could  hold  successful 
meetings. 

One  of  the  amusing  things  of  the  many  which  the 
daily  papers  dish  up  every  oncein  a  while  is  the  attack 
now  being  made  on  the  pool  rooms  thatinfe&t  thiscity 
in  such  numbers  at  the  present  time.  All  the  big  dailies 
are  unanimous  in  charging  that  these  pool  rooms  are 
debauching  the  youth  of  San  Francisco,  and  that  they 
should  be  suppressed.  They  are  perfectly  rigbt  in 
the  matter,  beyond  the  shadow  of  doubt,  but  how 
about  the  "dope  sheets"  of  the  races,  better  known  as 
"form  charts,"  which  all  these  dailies  print  with  such 
care  and  in  such  a  conspicuous  manner  every  day.  If 
there  is  any  one  thing  that  is  the  cause  of  the  pool 
rooms  and  the  gambling  craze  on  running  horses  it  is 
the  form  charts.  Omit  them  from  the  daily  papers 
and  there  would  not  be  one-quarter  the  number  of 
youthful  or  other  players  on  tbe  raceB.  Not  content 
with  printing  these  charts,  every  paper  prints  a  list 
of  probable  winners,  prepared  by  the  journals  speci- 
ally engaged  "experts,"  and  In  addition  has  the 
selections  of  the  expertB  of  the  leadiDg  New  York 
papers  telegraphed  them  daily,  60  that  the  public  can 
be  supplied  with  the  very  latest  "dope"  on  the  horses 
running.  It  is  amusing  to  read  the  editorials  on  the 
evils  of  horse  racing  and  then  find  in  the  following 
pages  Beveral  columns  written  and  printed  for  no  other 
purpose  than  to  induce  people  to  bet.  There  is  no 
sport  that  can  get  tbe  free  advertising  which  the 
dailies  give  to  prize  fighting  and  running  races.  Let 
a  couple  of  pugs  be  matched  for  a  brawl,  and  for 
weeks  the  columns  of  the  leading  dailits  are  filled  with 
all  sorts  of  the  veriest  rot  written  solely  to  induce 
people  to  bet  on  the  result  and  to  help  Bwell  the 
receipts  at  the  door  on  the  night  of  the  "event,"  and 
when  a  great  running  stake  comes  off,  the  bookmaker 
who  wote  the  biggest  sheet  on  it  is  given  a  column  of 
write  up  while  the  person  who  bred  the  winner  is  not 
mentioned  at  all  or  dismissed  with  a  line.  The  fact  is 
that  the  sporting  columns  of  the  majority  of  the  big 
dailies  are  gotten  up  more  in  the  interests  of  betting 
than  for  anything  else,  and  the  fuss  they  make  about 
pool  rooms  is  about  the  most  inconsistant  of  the  many 
inconsistent  things  they  are  always  doing. 


the  case,  and  puts  a  reasonable  doubt  in  the  mind  of 
everyifair  man  that  reads  it.  Mr.  Gamble's  article  is 
one  of  the  best  he  has  ever  written  and  is  fair  to  every- 
one. He  makes  no  accusations,  but  gives  Mr.  Taylor 
full  credit  for  believiDg  just  what  he  wrote  to  the 
Horse  Btvitw.  But  Mr.  Gamble  suggests,  very  perti- 
nently, that  as  the  late  banker  James  C.  Flood  bought 
two  chestnut  mares  that  were  brought  to  California 
fromiWisconsin,  one  of  which  was  by  Flying  Cloud 
and  the  other  by  Blue  Bull,  that  Mr.  Taylor  may  have 
got  the  two  bankers,  Ralston  and  Flood,  confounded. 
I  have  known  Mr.  Gamble  quite  a  long  time,  and  1 
know  his  memory  as  regards  horses  is  as  good  as  any 
person  in  California,  and  I  also  know  that  he  is  a 
seeker  after  the  exact  truth  in  pedigrees,  and  is  one  of 
those  who  folio  vs  it  where  it  lead6,  never  trying  to 
drive  it  into  a  path  it  does  net  desire  to  take.  As  he 
was  in  Mr.  Hickok's  employ  frcm  3868  to  1873  it  is 
more  than  likely  that  he  would  have  known  of  Mr. 
Maxwell  bringing  two  mares  out  here  and  selling  them 
through  Hickok  to  Mr.  RalBton.  Mr.  Gamble  6ays 
that  he  remembers  a  chestnut  mare  by  Geo.  M. 
Patchen,  Jr.,  dam  by  John  Nelson  that  Mr.  Kimball 
owned,  and  while  all  trace  of  her  is  lost  after  Kimball 
owned  her  he  believes  she  is  the  grandam  of  Lou 
Dillon.  I  hope  that  out  of  all  these  investigations  as 
to  Lou  Milton's  breeding  something  will  come  that 
will  enable  her  pedigree  to  be  established  beyond  a 
doubt.  The  fact  is  that  A.  McFadyen,  who  owned  Lou 
Milton  and  bred  the  stallion  Redwood  2:21$  and  Ethel 
Mack  2:25  from  her,  tried  to  trace  her  pedigree  in  1890 
and  at  different  times  afterwards,  but  could  not  do  it, 
and  I  doubt  very  much  if  any  evidence  is  ever  obtained 
that  will  be  more  than  hearsay  or  s  t  b. 


No  Betting  at  State  Fair. 

The  law  appropriating  $60,000  for  the  erection  of 
buildings  on  the  grounds  of  the  California  State  Agri- 
cultural Society  at  Sacramento  contains  the  following 
section: 

Section  6.  The  Board  of  Directors,  officers  and 
employes  of  the  California  State  Agricultural  Society 
are  hereby  prohibited  from  permitting  any  person  or 
persons,  or  any  corporation,  within  the  grounds  or 
premises  owned  by  or  under  the  control  of  the  said 
California  State  Agricultural  Society,  to  sell,  or  offer 
for  sale,  buy  or  offer  to  buy,  Issue,  or  offer  to  isBue,  or 
in  any  manner  di-pose  of,  purchase,  or  acquire  any  in- 
terest in  any  pool,  or  in  any  pool  ticket,  ceitificate, 
writing,  or  other  evidence  of  payment,  acceptance  or 
deposit  of  money,  or  other  thing  of  value,  staked  upon 
the  result  of  any  running,  pacing  or  trotting  race  or

receive  or  pay  over  any  money  or  article  or  thing  of 
value,  the  ownership  or  right  to  possession  of  which 
has  been,  is,  or  is  to  be  determined  by  any  Buch  race 
or  contest,  or  to  permit  any  gambling  or  gaming  pro- 
hibited by  section  330  of  the  Penal  Code  of  the  State 
of  California.  And  every  person,  officer  and  employe 
of  said  Board  of  Directors  of  the  California  State 
Agricultural  Society  permitting  any  of  the  acts  herein 
prohibited,  and  every  person  who  shall,  within  the 
confines  of  the  land  and  premises  of  the  said  California 
State  Agricultural  Society,  sell,  or  offer  to  sell  buy, 
or  offer  to  buy,  issue,  or  offer  to  issue,  or  in  any

punishable  by  a  fine  of  not  less  than  $100  nor  more 
than  $500  or  by  imprisonment  in  the  County  Jail  not 
exceeding  six  months. 


Well,  the  expected  has  happened.  Just  as  the 
Rorse  Review  settled  down  to  a  conviction  that  it  had 
by  the  aid  of  so  >  e  of  its  correspondents  established 
the  breeding  of  Lou  Milton,  dam  of  the  great  Lou 
Dillon,  along  comes  the  American  Horse  Breeder  with 
a  letter  from  Sam  Gamble,  which  throws  new  light  on 


The  Japs  have  a  certain  amount  of  sentiment  in 
their  make  up  for  which  they  are  entitled  to  credit. 
Advices  were  recently  received  here  of  a  monster 
funeral  service  held  at  MiyagiTempltfor  the  Japanese 
horses  killed  dur.ng  the  war.  In  the  presence  of  the 
Governor  and  other  officials  the  priests  gave  a  posthu- 
mous name  to  the  victims,  and  posts  were  erected  to 
mark  the  supposed  burial  places  of  the  dead  horses. 
Offerings  consisting  of  wheat  and  beans  were  placed 
on  a  large  altar,  and  a  number  of  priests  read  praj  ers. 
The  obsequies  were  the  same  as  those  of  soldiers.  The 
President  of  the  Miyagi  encampment  of  military 
horses  delivered  a  memorial  address  for  the  horses.

Blood  that  Produced  Champions. 


Practical  horsemen  and  students  of  blood  lines  like 
producing  blood  in  a  stallion,  and  when  they  can  find 
that  which  has  produced  champions  united  In  one 
stallion,  it  naturally  induces  them  to  patronize  that 
horse  Monroe  Salisbury  and  Chas.  De  Ryder,  the  first 
named  the  breeder  and  manager  of  more  champion 
trotters  and  pacers  than  any  other  person,  and  the 
latter  without  any  doubt  one  of  America's  leading 
trainers  and  drivers,  have  both  booked  mares  to  the 
handsome  black  colt  Greco,  owned  by  Mr.  H.  Brace 
of  Eureka  and  trained  by  William  R.  Johnson  at 
Pleasanton.  Greco  is  comparatively  an  unknown  colt, 
but  when  Messrs.  Salisbury  and  De  Ryder  saw  him  in 
training  at  Pleasanton  and  learned  his  breeding  they 
lost  no  time  in  booking  a  few  well  bred  mares  to  him 
as  they  consider  him  one  of  the  most  promising  young 
trotters  as  well  as  one  of  the  best  bred  stallions  in 
California.  Greco  is  a  sod  of  the  great  McKinney 
2:11},  the  greatest  sire  in  America.  The  dam  of  Greco 
is  Aileen  2:26J  by  Anteeo  2:16},  a  producing  son  of  the 
great  Electioneer  and  sire  of  the  dam  of  Directum 
Kelly  2:085  and  many  others  in  the  2:10  list.  Elec- 
tioneer is  the  grandsire  of  Major  Delmar,  the  champion 
trotting  gelding  of  the  world.  The  grandam  ol  Greco 
is  that  great  broodmare  Lou  Milton,  dam  of  Lou 
Dillon  1:58 J,  champion  of  all  trotters,  and  three  others 
in  the  list  Lou  Milton  is  by  Milton  Medium,  a  pro- 
ducing son  of  Happy  Medium.'sire  of  Nancy  Hanks 
2:04,  a  champion  in  her  day.  Few  horses  are  as  closely 
related  to  the  champion  trotters  as  Greco,  and  as  he 
is  a  fine  individual,  an  intelligent  brainy  horse,  and  a 
fast  trotter,  he  will  sire  speed  to  a  certainty.  He  was 
trained  a  little  last  year  and  started  in  one  race  at 
Eureka,  which  he  won  easily  and  took  a  record  of 
2:32.  He  could  have  trotted  very  much  faster  but  it 
was  not  considered  desirable  to  mark  him  any  lower 
80  long  as  it  was  not  necessary. 

This  winter  he  was  brought  to  PleasantOD  by 
William  R.  Johnson,  trainer  for  his  owner  Mr  Brace 
of  Humboldt  county,  and  has  been  worked  some.  He 
has  trotted  miles  in  2:20  very  handily  and  could  doubt- 
less trot  a  mile  in  2:15  at  the  present  time.  He  is  a 
horse  of  good  proportions,  smooth  turned  and  with 
lots  of  style  and  very  much  like  the  MeKinneye.  A 
stallion  by  the  champion  of  all  sires  and  wbo-e 
grandam  is  the  dam  of  Lou  Dillon,  represents  about 
as  choice  breeding  as  can  be  found  on  the  Coast  or  in 
any  other  section  of  the  country.  At  $50  the  season, 
his  book  which  will  be  limited,  should  fill  very  soon. 
Write  to  Mr.  Johnson  at  Pleasanton  for  any  further 
particulars  in  regard  to  Greco.

Oakwood  Park  Farm  Sale. 


Despite  a  very  heavy  rain  storm  a  good  sized  crowd 
was  in  attendance  Tuesday  evening  during  the  sale  Of 
Oakwood  Park  Farm  horses  at  the  sale  barn  of  Fred 
H.  Chase  &  Co.  About  thirty  head  were  sold  and 
the  prices  were  very  fair  considering  that  the  animals 
offered  were  mostly  two  and  three-year-olds  and  with- 
out aoy  particular  claim  tospeed  or  equality.  Bidding 
was  always  active  on  anything  that  had  size  or  style 
and  it  demonstrated  beyond  a  doubt  that  good  horses 
will  bring  good  prices  in  a  sale  of  this  kind.  One  of 
the  best  things  in  the  catalogue,  a  three-year-old 
brown  gelding  by  Chas.  Derby  that  had  shown 
quarters  in  36  seconds  was  not  sold  owing  to  an  injury 
received  during  the  afternoon.  Auctioneer  WarreD

Los  Angeles  Driving  Club  Matinee. 

The  Los  Angeles  lovers  of  harness  horses  were  at 
Agricultural  Park  in  force  on  Saturday  last  where  a 
program  of  eight  races  had  been  provided  by  mem 
bers  of  the  Driving  Club.  The  program  was  a  little 
too  long,  but  the  crowd  remained  until  the  last  race 
(unfinished)  and  thoroughly  enjoyed  the  sport.  Mr. 
W  A  Clark  Jr.  won  three  of  the  events  on  the  card 
with  his  horses.  Briney  K  and  Ole  met  in  the  race 
for  the  M.  A.  Hamburger  cup,  and  the  former  Santa 
Rosa  horse  took  the  untraced  trotter  into  camp.  In 
the  pace  for  the  Mrs.  C.  A.  Caufield  cup,  Welcome 
Mack  again  defeated  Stanton  Wilkes  and  Toughnut. 
The  Club  cup  was  won  by  the  Zombro  filly  Zombretta, 
owned  by  Mr.  L.  T.  Christopher,  treasurer  of  the 
new  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association,  that  is 
to  open  the  California  circuit  in  July.  There  is  more 
interest  in  harness  horse  matters  in  Los  Angeles  than 
ever  before,  and  the  Driving  Club  which  has  been  bo 
well  managed  since  its  organization  a  few  years  ago,

The  Zombros  Are  Coming  Fast. 

The  reputation  of  McKinney's  son  Zombro  2:11  Is 
growing  at  a  great  rate.  He  was  the  greatest  thrie- 
year-old  trotter  California  ever  saw,  and  is  now  the 
greatest  son  of  McKinney  as  a  sire.  His  list  of 
standard  performers  now  numbers  seven — all  trotters, 
and  there  will  be  frequent  additions  to  it  from  now  on 
as  speed  is  shown  by  everyone  that  is  worked.  Geo 
Beckers,  of  Los  Angeles,  his  breeder  and  owner,  has 
three  that  can  trot  in  2:15  right  now.  One  of  them  Is 
Helen  Dare,  that  worked  a  mile  in  2:16}  last  last  year, 
driven  and  trained  by  a  Spanish  boy  that  had  never 
sat  behind  a  trotter  before.  Mr.  Beckers  raised  this 
filly  and  sold  her  for  two  hundred  dollars  about  a  year 
ago.  He  bought  her  back  March  11th  for  athousand, 
and  was  offered  fifteen  hundred  dollars  for  her  ten 
days  afterwards.  He  expects  she  will  trot  in  2:12  or 
better  this  year  if  she  has  no  mishaps.  Sam  Wash- 
ington, the  Los  Angeles  colored  trainer  who  was  the 
first  to  show  the  public  that  Sweet  Marie  2:04if  was 
worth  training,  has  a  green  Zombro  gelding  that 
trotted  a  mile  in  2:18J  last  summer  and  expectB  to 
mark  him  in  2:15  this  year.  Will  Durfee  has  a  pac- 
ing filly  by  Zombro  that  is  called  Bessie  Barnes.  She 
is  out  of  a  mire  by  Truman  2:12  and  with  but  six 
weeks  training  has  paced  a  mile  in  2:19$  wilh  the 
last  half  in  1:04J  and  the  last  quarter  in  31£  seconds. 
I.C.  Mosher  is  training  a  three-year-old  Zombro  filly 
that  has  paced  in  2:18}  with  the  last  half  In  1:08$,  and 
he  also  has  a  three-year-old  stud  colt  by  him  that 
trotted  a  mile  in  2:25,  last  half  in  1:11},.  Mr.  Christo- 
pher, the  treasurer  of  the  new  Harness  Horse  Associa- 
tion, won  the  cup  race  at  Los  Angeles  last  Saturday 
with  Zombretta,  a  green  filly  that  recently  pulled  a 
cart  a  half  mile  in  1:05}.  Will  Durfee  is  training 
Bellemont  2:20$  by  Zombro,  the  fastest  two-year-old 
trotting  filly  of  1904;  she  is  doing  nicely  and  is  fast  as 
a  bullet.  Horsemen  in  Los  Angeles  predict  2:12  with- 
in  her  reach  this  year  as  a  three-year-old  Dr.  Hazlett 
of  San  Bernardino  drove  a  five-year-old  mare  by 
Zombro  a  mile  in  2:20$  last  week  and  they  say  she 
can  go  2:15  right  now.  She  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Pope 
Leo  2:20.  The  Doctor  will  sell  ber  as  he  does  not  care 
to  race  any  horses,  and  here  is  a  snap  for  someone. 
There  are  two  Zombros  in  P.  W.  Hodges' striDg  at 
Pleasanton  that  will  be  ready  for  a  place  in  the  2:15 
list  this  year  and  it  surely  looks  as  if  Zombro  will 
make  a  big  showing  with  his  produce  in  that  list 
in  1905 

The  fact  that  Zombro  will  not  be  taken  to  Oregon 
this  year,  but  make  the  entire  season  at  Los  Angeles, 
furnishes  an  opportunity  to  breeders  that  they  should 
not  fail  to  take  advantage  of. 


Searching  tor  Mexico's  Striped  Horses. 

A  dispatch  from  Chihuahua,  Mex'co,  dated  March 
26th,  says:  'Professor  H.  Cassar  Ewart,  a  noted 
educator  and  naturalist  of  Edinburgh,  Scotland,  has 
arrived  here  on  his  way  to  a  remote  and  unexplored 
region  of  the  Sierra  Madres,  in  the  extreme  south- 
western part  of  this  State.  He  is  arcompanied  by 
several  other  scientists,  and  the  object  of  their  ex- 
pedition is  to  investigate  the  oft  heard  report  that 
there  is  a  large  drove  of  wild  horses  of  most  peculiar 
appearance  in  that  part  of  Mexico.  These  animals 
are  said  to  be  striped  and  bear  a  close  resemblance  to 
the  zebra.  They  are  said  to  make  their  borne  in  a 
rich  valley  which  is  almost  completely  shut  in  by  the 
towering  cliffs  of  the  mountains. 

It  is  the  theory  of  Professor  Ewart  that  all  horses 
were  one  time  striped  and  that  their  present  colorings 
and  absence  of  stripes  are  due  to  intermixing  the 
breed.  He  has  been  studying  the  question  for  several 
years  and  recently  finished  an  exhaustive  research  in- 
to the  prehistoric  remains  of  horses  on  the  islands  of 
Porto  Rico  and  Jamaica." 

The  account  of  the  existence  of  a  large  drove  of 
striped  horses  in  the  Sierra  Madres  seems  to  be 
authentic.  Long  before  white  men  had  penetrated 
the  almOBt  inaccessible  region  Indians  who  lived  Id 
the  mountains  told  of  having  seen  thi6  drove  of 
horses.  About  fifteen  years  ago  an  American  mining 
prospector  named  Hampton  Bradley,  who  formerly 
lived  at  Parral,  where  he  owoed  and  operated  the 
Marco  mine,  made  a  trip  into  the  mountains.  He  was 
gone  for  about  three  months  and  upon  his  return  he 
told  of  having  visited  the  valley  where  he  saw  this 
drove  of  horses.  He  said  that  there  were  several 
thousand  of  the  animals  and  that  their  feeding  ground 
embraced  many  thousand  acres  of  rich,  level  land, 
with  a  smill  stream  of  water  running  through  it." 

The  probability  is  that  Prof  Ewart  will  find  that  the 
striped  horse  story  bears  a  close  relationship  to  the 
venerable  but  venerated  one  of  the  three  black  crowe. 


Audubon  Boy  2:03}  and  Ecstatic  2:05}  have  been 
matched  to  race  for  $5000,  and  the  race  will  come  off 
the  Readville  Grand  Circuit  meeting.

to  the  Stanford  Stake.  These  stakes  should  furnish 
a  couple  of  good  contests  and  fittingly  inaugurate  the 
new  track  that  will  be  constructed  soon  on  the  new 
State  Fair  grouuds  at  Sacramento. 

The  picture  on  our  title  page  this  week  is  of  the 
filly  Zombelle  by  Zombro.  She  was  recently  pur- 
chased from  J.  C.  Woodrow,  of  Vancouver,  by  Mr.  C. 
A.  Harrison,  formerly  of  Los  Angeles,  but  now  pro- 
prietor o  the  Hotel  Driard  at  Victoria,  B.  C.  Zom- 
belle is  one  of  the  great  trotting  prospects  of  1905. 


A  finely  bred  four-year-old  'filly  that  stands  sixteen 
hands  and  shows  lots  of  speed  is  for  sale.  She  is  a 
well  bred  one  being  by  a  son  of  Director  and  out  of  a 
daughter  of  Silver  Bow,  second  dam  by  Steinway  and 
third  dam  by  Sidney.  A  very  reasonable  price  is 
asked  for  her.  She  cac  be  seen  at  the  Zibbell  stables, 
back  of  the  Chutes. 

W.  A.  Williams,  the  Kansas  City  wholesale  grocer, 
who  purchased  Highwood  2:211  and  several  brood 
mares  at  the  recent  Chicago  Horse  Sale  Company's 
sale,  has  purchased  a  280-acre  farm  seven  miles  south 
of  Kansas  City,  on  the  Bickman  Mills  road,  for  $70,000 
and  will  at  once  establish  on  the  property  a  great 
breeding  plant  where  only  trotting-bred  horses  will 
be  produced.  

At  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm, the  following  mares 
have  foaled:  Carlotta  Wilkes  by  Charley  Wilkes,  a 
bay  colt  by  Sidney  Dillon;  Adioo  by  Guy  Wilkes,  a 
chestnut  filly  by  Sidney  Dillon;  Caritone  by  Antione, 
son  of  Dexter  Prince,  a  cnestnut  colt  by  Sidney 
Dillon;  Guycara  2:18}  by  Guy  WilkeB,  a  bay  colt  by 
Sidney  Dillon.  All  these  foals  are  entered  in  the 
Pacific  Breeders  Futurity  Stake. 


The  Kenney  Manufacturing  Company  has  the  latest 
improved  machinery  for  putting  solid  and  cushion 
tires  on  buggies  and  all  kinds  of  vehicles,  and  puts 
them  on  in  first-class  shape  with  promptness.  They 
also  have  on  hand  the  largest  stock  of  sulkies  and 
carts  on  the  Coast,  and  carry  all  weights,  lengths  and 
widths.  If  you  want  anything  new  in  the  cart  or

Ed  Lafferty,  one  of  the  best  of  our  California 
trainers,  is  now  in  the  employ  of  James  Butler,  of 
New  York,  and  has  wintered  quite  a  string  of  that 
gentleman's  trotters  at  Empire  City  track.  Among 
tbe  horses  in  his  charge  are  Judge  GreeD  2:09,  Leta 
2  13},  Direct  View  2:08|,  Aristo  2:08i,  and  Princess 
Athel  2:14.  These  horses  are  all  in  good  shape  and 
tbe  most  of  them  will  join  the  California  end  of  the 
Butler  string  at  Detroit. 


Lets  organize  the  Boosters  Club  and  from  now  on 
do  all  we  can  to  make  every  harness  meetiDg  in 
California  a  big  success.  Consider  yourself  initiated 
There  are  no  dues  except  a  good  word  and  a  little 
boost  now  aDd  then  to  help  the  business  along. 

Southern  California  breeders  should  not  permit  the 
opportunity  to  breed  mares  to  Mr.  Geo.  Ford's  fast 
trotting  stallion  Neernut  2:12}  to  escape  them.  The 
service  fee  has  been  placed  very  low  and  rvithin  tbe 
reach  of  all.  Neernut  sires  speed,  good  looks  and 
salable  horses. 

Already  interest  in  the  historic  stallion  show  to  be 
held  in  Lexington,  Ky.,  next  month  is  great.  A 
recent  canvass  indicates  that  among  the  great  trot- 
tiDg  horses  to  be  shown  may  be  included  San  Mateo 
2:13},  The  Bondsman,  Larabie  tbe  Great  2:12}, 
Oratorio  2:13,  Jay  McGregor  2:07},  Prodigal  2:16, 
Jay  Bird,  Scarlet  Wilkes,  Baron  Wilkes  Jr.  2:23}, 
Todd  2:14},  Ashlawn  2:24$  Gen.  Forrest  2:09  and  the 
Director  General.         

The  Western  Racing  Circuit  opens  at  Fort  Collins, 
May  22d,  and  there  will  be  meetings  to  follow  it  at 
Albuquerque,  Las  Vegas,  Trinidad,  Denver  and  Salt 
Lake.  The  Albuquerque  meeting  opens  May  28th  and 
continues  four  days.  The  2:13  pacers  have  a  $1000 
purse  offered  them,  the  2:35  trotters  the  same  amount, 
and  there  are  $500  purses  for  2:17  and  2:23  class  trot- 
ters, and  free  for-all,  2:19  and  2:35  class  pacers. 
Several  events  are  offered  for  runners.  The  stakes 
will  close  April  10th,  and  tbe  nurses  May  15th.  The 
advertisement  appears  in  our  business  columns  this 
week.  California  horsemen  who  intend  racing  on  the 
Colorado  Circuit  should  look  over  this  program. 

Experience  is  a  dear  school,  but  many  refuse  to 
learn  in  any  other.  An  obstinate  Portuguese,  who 
lived  near  the  town  of  Picta,  in  Mendocino  county, 
had  a  sick  horse  about  three  weeks  ago  and  consulted 
a  veterinary  as  to  the  animal's  trouble.  He  was  told 
that  bis  horse  bad  tbe  glanders,  that  it  was  past  cur- 
ing and  that  he  had  better  shoot  the  animal.  Above 
all,  he  was  warned  to  be  very  careful  or  he  would 
get  the  disease  himself.  The  Portuguese  was  positive 
his  horse  did  not  have  the  glanders,  and,  to  convince 
a  friend,  took  a  drink  out  of  the  horse's  bucket,  after 
watering  the  animal.  Seventeen  days  afterward  the 
Portuguese  died  in  terrible  agony,  having  contracted 
tbe  disease  by  drinkiDg  from  the  bucket. 


It  is  said  that  the  black  coltCarakina  by  McKinney 
2:11}  out  of  Biscara,  dam  of  four  in  the  list,  by 
Director,  is  showing  wonderful  speed  siDce  he  was 
shifted  to  the  pace.  Carakina  was  bred  at  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm,  and  is  now  owned  by  Mr.  Jas  H. 
Gray,  of  Santa  Rosa.  He  is  now  a  four-year-old  and 
was  only  shifted  to  the  pace  a  few  weeks  ago  but  took 
to  it  so  naturally  tb  at  be  paced  amilein  2:17  after  a 
few  lessons,  and  a  half  in  1:06.  John  Quinn  is  train- 
ing him. 

Pasadena  will  hold  a  horse  show  on  April  6th,  7th, 
and  8th,  at  which  cups  and  cash  prizes  will  be  given 
in  the  different  classes  usually  provided  for  in  a  horse 
show.  An  entrance  fee  of  $5  is  required  and  entries 
closed  March  29th  This  horse  sdow  has  made  tbe 
horse  market  quite  lively  in  Southern  California,  and 
buyers  have  visited  this  section  of  tbe  State  in  search 
of  likely  prize  winners.  The  show  is  to  be  held  in 
connection  with  the  annual  Rose  Tournament.  Mr. 
C.  D  Daggett  is  Chairman  of  show  committee  and  Mr. 
E.  D.  Neff,  Secretary. 

Only  a  few  years  ago  it  wis  not  thought  good  form 
to  drive  a  pacer  on  the  New  York  Speedway.  Now 
many  of  the  most  prominent  roadities  use  them  if  not 
exclusively  much  of  the  time.  Mr.  BUIiogs,  for  in- 
stance, has  five  that  have  all  beaten  2:05  on  one  or 
more  occasions.  Offers  of  $5000  are  reported  to  have 
been  made  f"r  Nathan  Strauss  2:05}  and  Locanda 
2:03},  but  more  money  was  asked  for  both.  Samuel 
McMillan,  James  A.  Murphy,  Nathan  Strauss,  Dr. 
Gill  and  J.  L.  Dodge  are  among  those  who  use  the 
pacer  for  speeding  purposes. 

Lucretia,  the  brown  four-year-old  mare  owned  by 
Col.  J.  C  KirKpatrick  and  being  trained  by  Jatnee 
Thompson  at  Pleasanton,  trotted  an  easy  mile  in  a 
shade  better  than  2:19  last  Saturday.  This  mare  is 
good  enough  for  tbe  2:10  classes  this  fall  She  is 
large  good  gaited.  and  a  nice  actor,  and  her  breeding 
has  "a  bit  o'  class  to  it,"  as  she  is  by  Naznte  2:2SS, 
own  brother  to  Azote  2:04},  dam  Lucyneer  2:27,  dam 
of  Lucrativa  2:13$  and  Minnie  B  2:15}  by  Electioneer,

The  death  of  C.  J.  Hamlin  recalls  the  old  time  con- 
troversy that  raged  between  him  and  H.  C.  Jewett  as 
to  the  development  of  stallions  designed  to  beget 
harness  speed.  Mr.  Jewett  owned  Jerome  Eddy  2:16} 
and  Mr  Hamlin,  Mambrino  KiDg  which  never  got  the 
semblance  of  a  record  and  really  had  not  much  trot- 
ting blood  about  him.  Results  concretely  expressed 
are  that  Jerome  Eddy  has  now  26  trotters  and  12 
pacers  in  the  standard  lists  while  Mambrino  King  has 
55  trotters  and  18  pacers.  Eddy  has  none  in  the  2:10 
list  while  tbe  King  stands  very  nearly  at  the  top  as  a 
progenitor  of  such  extreme  speed.  At  that  this  does 
not  prove  that  undeveloped  stallions  may  always  be 
depended  on  to  produce  the  most  winning  speed. —

WilliamG.  Layngofthis  city  returned  from  bis  New 
Zealand  trip  this  week.  The  New  Zealand  Seferee  of 
March  8th,  contained  the  following  item:  "A  number 
of  prominent  Canterbury  trotting  enthusiasts  met  at 
the  Cafe  de  Paris  last  Thuisday  evening  to  say  good- 
bye to  Mr.  W.  G.  Layng,  who,  during  bis  few  months 
stay  in  this  colony  has  made  a  host  of  Meads.  With 
Mr  L.  Wilsen  in  the  chair,  a  most  pleasant  time  was 
speot,  tne  guest's  maDy  humorous  stories  aDd  personal 
anecdotes  contributing  to  the  entertainment  of  all. 
Mr.  Layng  left  on  bis  return  to  San  Francisco  *"n 
Saturday,  taking  with  him  tbe  good  wishes  of  all  wi  h 
whom  he  came  in  contact.  His  many  articles  on  trot- 
ting matters  that  have  appeared  in  the  Seferee  have 
been  widely  read,  and  tbey  will  be  followed  in  time

S  K.  Trefry,  the  veteran  trainer  who  is  a  living 
exemplification  that  Dr  Osier's  old  age  theory  does 
not  apply  to  horsemen,  is  training  and  taking  care  of 
two  good  ones  at  Pleasanton.  One  is  the  Diablo 
pacing  geldiDg  Tom  Carneal  2:08$  that  he  raced  and 
marked  last  year.  This  pacer  looks  better  than  ever 
and  it  need  not  surprise  the  owners  of  pacers  in  tbe 
2:09  class  if  they  have  to  step  in  2:04  to  beat  him  this 
year.  Tom  Carneal  is  one  of  the  gamest  horses  ever 
seen  on  tbe  circuit  and  if  no  accidents  occur  be  will  be 
a  good  money  winner  this  year.  Mr.  Trefry  owns  a 
two-year-old  colt  by  McKinney  out  of  Mountain  Maid , 
the  dam  of  T'>m  Carneal,  by  Cresco,  that  is  a  trotter 
and  ooe  of  the  handsomest  colts  in  California.  "Dad" 
says  he  is  Dot  saying  anythiog  about  this  fellow  except 
that  he  expects  to  go  to  the  races  with  him,  hut  if 
ever  a  colt  looked  like  the  real  thiug  it  is  this  odb. 


The  Columbus  Driving  Park  Company  has  an-

"Speculating"  and  "Gambling.' ' 

Employed  is  one  of  the  branch  bureaus  of  the 
Treasury  Department  there  is  a  young  man  who  has 
always  reprobated  evil  in  all  of  its  forms  and  mani- 
festations. 

He  is  a  real  good  young  man  from  Indiana,  says  a 
writer  in  the  Washington  Star. 

He  wears  high-water  trousers  that  have  usually 
faded  to  an  olive-green  hue,  and  his  somewhat  sheep- 
like countenance  is  Always  twisted  into  angelic  expres- 
sion, denoting  his  reprobation  of  evil  in  all  of  its  formB 
and  manifestations 

He  has  always  abhorred  the  bowl,  and  he  has 
always  been  an  active  bucker  against  the  noxious 
weed,  in  any  shape  or  manner  of  using  the  same,  ever 
s:nca  he  broke  out  of  his  little  'township  in  mid- 
Indiana  and  landed  in  his  government  berth  here. 

And  he  has  particularly  grieved  that  there  be  any 
such  horror  in  the  world  as  gambling  on   the   houses. 

Nevertheless  and  notwithstanding  this  good  young 
man  has  been  dabbling  right  along,  ever  since  he  first 
struck  the  capital  and  became  overwhelmed  with  the 
amount  of  real  money  Uncle  Sam  dished  out  to  him 
■eao>monthly,with  the  merry  little  bucket-shop  gatre. 

He  was  never  able  to  see  anything  wrong  or  par- 
taking of  the  nature  of  gambling  in  the  bucket  shop 
game. 

He  was  able  to  scientifically  differentiate  between 
the  bucket-shop  game  and  race  track  gambling. 

In  fact,  he  used  to  often  argue  that  point  with  a 
bluff,  brusque  young  chap  at  his  boarding  house,  who 
owned  a  little  merchandise  business  of  his  own. 

The  young  merchant-in-a-small-way  was  in  the 
habit  of  occasionally  getting  a  bet  down  on  the  horses 
nor  did  he  make  any  bones  about  it.  He  liked  to  bet 
on  'em,  he  said,  with  engaging,  if  unnecessary  frank- 
ness. He  often  lost  a  lot  of  money  at  it,  and  then, 
again,  he  quite  occasionally  won  a  lot  of  money  at  it. 
But  he  liked  the  horse  racing  game,  whichever  way 
the  luck  went,  nor  did  he  have  the  slightest  hesita- 
tion in  saying  so  in  the  presenca  of  the  good  young 
man  from  Indiana. 

'•But,"  the  good  young  man  from  Indiana  would 
say,  deprecatiDgly,  "that  is  gambling,  you  know,  and 
you  know  what  gambling  always  leads  to,  don't  you?" 

"Sure  thing, "  replied  the  young  man  who  was  con- 
ducting a  small  business  of  bis  own.  "But  I  often  hear, 
on  the  side,  about  your  fiddling  around  with  the 
bucket-shop  gang.     What  d'ye  call  that?" 

"Why,  that's  speculating,"  the  good  young  man 
from  Indiana  would  reply. 

"Speculating,  hey?"  the  other  would  remark  dryly. 
"It  isn't  even  a  little  bit  of  a  gamble,  eh?" 

"Not  a  bit  of  it,  "the  singularly  queer-visioned  good 
young  man  from  Indiana  would  answer.  "It's  merely 
speculating." 

Which  somewhat  stubborn  view,  awhile  ago,  got  a 
bit  on  the  young  merchant's  nerves. 

A  couple  of  weeks  ago  the  good  young  man  began 
to  wear  a  very  superior  air  around  the  boarding  house 
and  to  throw  out  vague  hints  as  to  the  likelihood  of 
his  resigning  his  government  job  and  going  in  for  a 
career  as  a  financier. 

The  market  was  going  right  for  him  in  his  bucket- 
shop  dabbling,  and  it  appeared  thai  he  was  a  good 
$3500  on  the  correct  side  of  the  ledger. 

Wherefore  the  good  young  man  from  Indiana  was 
very,  very  swollen,  in  so  far  as  a  sheep-faced  t>nd  good 
young  man  who  wears  olive-green  high-water  trousers 
and  a  quizzical  smirk  may  exhibit  swollenness. 

On  the  evening  of  that  celebrated  Lawson-of-Boston 
day  last  week,  however,  the  good  yourg  man  from 
Indiana  tottered  to  the  diniDg  room  table  of  the 
house  with  his  pale  hair  exceedingly  touseled  and  his 
quizzical  smirk  quite  effaced. 

He  didn't  need  to  be  asked  why. 

He  had  been  worse  tban  wiped  out. 

It  is  grievous  to  be  compelled  to  record  the  fact 
that  all  of  the  rest  of  the  boarders  at  the  table  were 
tickled,  almost  foolish  over  his  obliteration. 

They  were,  it  is  sorrowful  to  relate,  only  chagrined 
that  he  hadn't  mortgaged  his  whole  pay  two  year* 
ahead. 

While  the  young  man  from  Indiana  sat  disconso- 
lately over  his  food  a  couple  of  sporty  young  depart- 
ment stenographers  were  talking  about  the  young 
merchant  who  had  calLd  the  young  man  down  for 
his  odious  comparisons  between  speculating  and 
gambling. 

"He  went  over  to  New  York  last  night  to  get  sime 
poolroom-  bets  down  on  a  horse  that  he  said  would  be 
as  good  as  50  to  1,  and  that  he'd  been  tipped  off  from 
the  right  folks  would  win  in  a  stroll,"  one  of  tnam 
was  saying  to  the  other,  when  the  young  merchant 
himself  walked  into  the  dining-room. 

He  had  a  cubit-wide  griu  on  his  face,  and  each  and 
everyone  of  his  pockets  bulged  so  that  his  clothes 
looked  shapeless. 

The  pair  of  sporty  young  departmental  stenogra- 
phers looked  him  over  inquiringly. 


"Did  that  thing  go  through?"  they  asKed  him  in 
one  yoice. 

"What  thing?"  inquired  the  young  merchant  inno- 
cently, taking  his  6eat  at  the  table. 

"That  mutt  you  got  the  tip  on  and  went  over  to 
New  York  to  play,"  they  said  in  chorus. 

"Oh,  you  mean  that  little  speculation  of  mine,  "said 
the  young  merchant.  "Yep,  the  old  skate  won  in  a 
walk,  and  I  got  60  to  1  for  my  $50,"  and  he  pulled  out 
a  wad  of  yellow  money  big  enough  to  choke  a  seawater 
valve  of  a  battleship,  at  the  same  time  casting  a 
glance  out  of  his  eye  at  the  good  young  man  from 
Indiana.  The  latter  gurgled  and  then  grinned 
flabbily. 

"Say,"  he  whispered,  hoarsely,  leaning  over  the 
table  to  the  young  merchant,  "why  didn't  you  put 
me  next?  If  you  had  I  wouldn't  have  been  cleaned 
out  today." 

"But, "said  the  young  merchant  in  a  tone  of  sur- 
prise, "I  was  gambling." 

"So  was  I,  so  was  I, "moaned  the  good  young  man 
from  Indiana,  "only  I  had  to  wait  till  they  walloped 
me  to  find  it  out." 


California  Horses  at  Memphis. 

Murray  Howe  writes  the  Horse  Review  as  follows: 

I  notice  that  Mr.  Adkins,  owner  of  LisODJero  2:08], 
is  quoted  as  saying  that  he  would  cheefully  enter  his 
good  horse  in  a  special  trot  with  Sweet  Marie  and 
Tiverton,  and  judging  from  the  talk  one  hears  these 
sunny  mornings,  there  are  several  others  besides  the 
Dexter  Prince  gelding  around  the  track  that  would 
be  tickled  to  death  to  take  out  a  stack  of  chips  and 
get  in  the  same  game.  Mr.  Geers  has  high  hopes  of 
George  G.  2.06J.  Speaking  of  this  gelding  the  other 
day  he  said:  "I  made  a  big  mistake  last  year  in  start- 
ing George  G.  at  all.  His  track  manners  when  I  got 
him  were  not  good  enough  to  warrant  racing  him  in 
first  class  society,  but  he  improved  constantly  and 
was  better  than  a  2:06  trotter  when  he  was  taken  sick 
at  Cincinnati  last  fall.  I  look  upon  him  now  as  the 
nicest  trotting  gelding  in  America  The  Abbot  was  a 
nice  trotting  gelding,  but  George  G.  is  a  better  one, 
and  with  good  luck  ought  to  go  faster." 

So  much  for  George  G.  Moving  down  the  line  a 
peg  we  come  to  Stanley  Dillon  2:07J.  Stanley,  as 
everybody  knows,  was  the  fastest  green  trotter  out 
last  year,  and  his  friends,  including  his  trainer,  believe 
that  he  would  have  trotted  a  mile  as  good  as  2:05  last 
fall  but  for  his  unfortunate  accident  at  Hartford.  So 
much  has  been  written  about  Stanley 's  failure  to  make 
good  in  his  late  engage  ments  last  year  that  the  facts 
concerning  his  mishap  may  prove  interesting. 

The  trouble  that  put  a  check  to  his  victorious  career 
came  at  Hartford.  He  was  winning  his  race  with 
ease  and  bad  a  heat  or  two  to  his  credit  when  he  struck 
himself  a  severe  rap  clear  on  the  outside  of  one  of  his 
front  ankles.  He  is  a  very  wide-gaited  horse  behind 
and  is  apt  to  do  such  a  thing  when  he  makes  a  sudden 
rush.  As  a  result  of  this  blow  a  large  bone-like  en- 
largement on  the  injured  spot  developed  very  rapidly_ 
This  caused  him  great  pain,  and  although  Mr.  GeeiB 
tried  to  continue  his  training,  he  was  always  too  lame 
to  give  a  good  account  of  himself.  During  the  Mem- 
phis meeting  last  fall,  as  the  result  of  treaiment,  tie 
knot  on  Stanley 's  leg  came  to  a  head  like  a  boil  and 
finally  burst,  everything  passing  out  with  the  matter. 
From  that  day  he  was  a  sound  horse  and  was  worked 
a  mile  or  two  better  than  2:10  before  being  retired  for 
the  winter.  He  has  wintered  exceptionally  well,  and 
to  watch  him  work  he  gives  one  the  impression  of 
steam  engine  strength  and  power.  His  admirers  point 
to  his  quarters  in  29  seconds  in  a  race  last  year  when- 
ever his  chances  are  discussed . 

He  Was  Absolutely  Fearless. 

The  late  C.  J.  Hamlin,  says  The  Horse  World,  was 
not  only  an  expert  reinsman,  but  he  was  absolutely 
fearless  as  far  as  horses  were  concerned.  Before  the 
weight  of  years  began  to  tell  on  him,  it  was  not  un- 
common for  him  to  have  in  his  city  stable,  for  his  own 
driving,  some  horse  with  which  the  trainers  at  Vil- 
lage Farm  had  had  trouble,  and,  as  a  rule,  when  the 
horse  went  back  to  the  farm,  he  was  a  far  better  be- 
haved horse  than  when  he  went  away.  At  one  time 
he  had  in  his  city  stable  a  horse  that  would  not  stand 
for  anyone  to  get  in  the  buggy  unless  tied  or  held  by 
the  head.  It  was  the  groom's  custom  to  hook  this 
horse  up  in  the  morning  and  tie  him  oo  the  barn  floor, 
not  releasing  him  until  Mr.  Hamlin  was  seated  in  the 
buggy.  One  morning  Mr.  Hamlin  reached  the  barn 
a  little  earlier  than  usual,  and  found  the  horse  hooked 
up  and  tied,  but  the  groom  was  nowhere  to  be  found. 
Taking  the  reins  in  his  hand,  the  veteran  horseman 
untied  the  horse  and  stepped  back  to  get  into  the 
buggy.  Just  when  he  was  behind  the  wheels  the 
horse  reared  and  made  a  dash  for  the  door.  Mr. 
Hamlin  was  knocked  under  the  buggy  and  clinging  to 
the  reins,  he  was  dragged  across  the  street  where  he 


ran  the  horse  into  a  fence  and  with  the  assistance  of 
some  passersby,  the  horse  was  brought  under  control. 
To  a  member  of  his  own  family  who  asked  him  why 
he  didn't  let  go  the  reins  and  allow  the  horse  to  go 
where  he  pleased,  Mr.  Hamlin,  wiping  the  blood  from 
his  bruised  face,  said :  "W  hy,  if  I  had  let  that  horse 
get  away  it  would  have  spoiled  him  forever." 


Two  Young  McKinneys  in  the  Stud. 

Carakina  and  Ruskin  are  the  names  selected  by  Mr. 
James  H.  Gray,  of  Santa  Rosa  for  his  two  young  Mo- 
Kinney  stallions  that  will  make  the  season  of  1905  at 
Santa  Rosa  Scock  Farm.  In  the  advertisement  which 
Mr.  Gray  has  inserted  in  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man this  week,  he  claims  Carakina  to  be  the  best 
bred  McKinney  stallion  living  or  dead.  Carakina  is 
out  of  Biscara,  dam  of  four  in  the  list,  by  Director 
2:17,  second  dam  Bicara,  dam  of  six  in  the  list  by 
Harold,  third  dam  Belle,  dam  of  one,  and  of  four  sires, 
by  Mambrino  Chief  11,  fourth  dam  Belle  Lupe  by 
Bellfounder.  Carakina  is  a  pacer  and  for  the  past  few 
weeks  has  been  the  talk  of  the  track  at  Pleasanton 
He  went  a  half  in  1:06}  the  other  day  at  the  end  of  a 
mile  in  2:17},  and  the  last  quarter  was  in  33  seconds. 
The  combination  of  McKinney  and  Director  blood  in 
this  colt,  backed  up  by  Harold  and  Mambrino  Chief, 
puts  him  in  the  list  of  best  bred  ones  for  a  fact.  Cara- 
kina is  a  four-year-old  and   his  service  fee  will  be  $50. 

The  other  colt,  Ruskin,  is  well  named  as  be  is  by 
McKinney,  out  of  Russie  Russell  by  Bay  Rose  2:20}, 
second  dam  Oakley  Russell  by  Happy  Russell  2:21}, 
third  dam  by  Orestes 2:20,  fourth  dam  by  Harry  Ciay 
Jr.  Bay  Rose  was  a  son  of  Sultan,  sire  of  Stamboul 
2:07};  Happy  Russell  was  by  Mambrino  Russell  out  of 
a  great  broodmare  by  Happy  Medium  sire  of  Nancy 
Hanks  2:04:  Mambrino  Russell  was  by  Woodford 
Mambrino  out  of  Miss  Russell,  dam  of  Nutwood  and 
Maud  S.  2:08|,  etc.  The  breeding  of  Ruskin  is  first 
class  in  every  way  and  he  will  sire  speed  to  a  certainty 
as  he  is  endowed  with  it  himself,  having  worked  a 
mile  last  month  in  2:23},  last  half  in  1:09  and  last 
quarter  in  33  seconds.  His  service  fee  will  be  $25,  and 
it  is  not  often  such  a  well  bred  stallion  stands  at  such 
a  low  figure.  Breeders  will  make  no  mistake  in 
breeding  to  either  of  these  young  McKinneys.

o  Swift  B.  has  a  Brother. 

Sacramento,  Mar.  30,  1905. 
Ed.  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — I  saw  by  your 
paper  last  wi-ek  that  Swift  Bird  would  soon  produce 
a  full  sister  or  brother  to  Swift  B.  2:16].  She  has  and 
it  is  a  brother,  born  this  morning  and  as  fine  a  colt  as 
ever  was  foaled.  Looks  like  it  might  trot  in  2:05.  He 
is  a  bay  with  a  little  white  on  one  bind  foot.  He  will 
be  entered  in  all  the  stakes  here  or  in  the  East,  and 
probably  in  both.  Yours  respectfully, 

Chas.  F.  Silva. 

The  mare  Idylwild  2:17f  by  McKinney  was  shipped 
East  a  few  days  ago,  havmg  been  sold  to  an  Eastern 
party,  whom  it  Is  strongly  suspeoted  is  Mr.  Simpson, 
the  owner  of  McKinney,  as  she  has  been  placed  in  W. 
J.  Andrews'  striog  for  training.  Idylwild  is  out  of  a 
mare  by  Conifer  and  is  one  of  the  fastest  of  McKinney 's 
big  family  of  fast  trotters.  Will  Durfee  used  to  work 
her  out  with  Sweet  Marie,  and  Idylvild  could  keep  up 
with  her  in  nearly  ill  the  workouts.  One  day  they 
worked  Sweet  Marie  alongside  a  runner  for  a  fast  half 
and  1:04  was  the  best  she  could  do,  but  Idylwild  went 
out  right  afterwards  and  reeled  off  a  hall  in  1:03  very 
handily.  She  is  a  sweet  gaited  trotter  aod  would 
have  been  raced  last  year  but  caught  the  distemper 
and  was  Laid  up  during  the  summer.  She  has  been 
looking  in  great  shape  this  winter  and  acting  well 
and  the  chances  are  she  will  be  a  member  of  Mc- 
Kinney's  rapidly  growing  2:10  list  before  fall.

The  Horse's  Mouth. 


[Chas.  R.  Wood.  V.  S.  In  American  Horse  Breeder.] 

There  are  numerous  irregularities  in  the  direction 
of  molar  teeth.  I  remember  a  number  of  years  ago 
the  trotting  gelding  Prospero,  owned  in  New  Yark, 
was  suffering  from  an  elongated  and  ulcerated  upper 
fourth  molar,  which  developed  into  osteo  porosiB, 
necessitating  his  having  to  be  destroped.  At  that 
time  there  was  such  a  prejudice  againjt  veterinary 
dentistry,  which  was  in  its  infancy,  that  as  a  result  a 
large  number  of  valuable  horses  were  sacrificed  which 
could  have  been  saved  by  a  timely  and  skillful  opera- 
tion on  the  teeth. 

The  lower  jiw,  as  stated,  when  on  the  subject  of 
parrot  mouth,  is  sometimes  shorter  than  the  upper. 
This  leads  to  an  imperfect  opposition  of  the  molars  as 
well  as  of  the  incisors,  and  the  first  molar  on  titber 
side  of  the  upper  jaw  is  apt  to  indicate  excessive 
growth  at  the  anterior  part  and  the  same  happens 
with  the  back  part  of  the  last  grinders  on  the  lower 
jaw.  These  projections  may  attain  considerable 
length  and  inflict  injury  on  the  cheeks  and  tongue. 

By  far  the  most  common  irregularity  from  imper- 
fect wear  of  teeth  depends  on  the  breadth  of  too 
upper  j  iw  as  compared  with  the  lower.  Frequently 
the  outer  margins  of  the  superior  molars  and  the 
inner  margins  of  the  lower  become  sharp  and  jagged. 
This  tends  to  induce  excoriations  io  the  mouth,  the 
movements  become  more  and  more  limited  and  the 
irregularities  more  marked.  I  remember  a  specimen 
in  the  Museum  of  iihe  New  York  Veterinary  College 
in  which  the  tables  of  the  teeth  form  such  inclined 
planes  as  to  be  parallel  with  each  other  and  crossing 
each  other  like  scissor  blades.  The  cause  of  this 
appears  to  have  been  caries  of  the  two  molars  which 
having  limited  the  action  of  the  jaws  to  one  side  led 
to  the  growth  on  the  opposite  of  the  teeth  and  gradu- 
ally the  confined  movemants  of  the  jaws  favored  the 
full  development  of  the  deformity. 

The  lower  molar  teeth  being  smaller  than  the  upper 
are  occasionally  most  worn  and  this  often  leads  to 
excessive  wear  of  the  middle  molars  on  each  side,  the 
anterior  and  posterior  ones  remaining  larger.  The 
middle  molars  may  be  worn  down  to  the  gums  and 
the  latter  then  sustain  injury.  I  have  before  men- 
tioned that  from  a  molar  tooth  not  beitig  worn  over 
its  whole  surface  a  portion  may  exceed  a  natural 
length.  This  is  sometimes  the  case  with  an  entire 
tooth  when  the  opposite  one  is  absent. 

Caries  is  unquestionably  the  malady  most  fre- 
quently affecting  the  teeth  of  man  and  animals.  It 
consists  in  structural  degeneration  of  theeDamel  and 
dentine,  though  even  the  cement  around  the  fang 
may  become  the  seat  of  the  disease.  In  considering 
the  disease  of  the  teeth  in  the  lower  animals  we  must 
not  forget  that  the  molars  are  certainly  more  subji  ct 
to  caries  and  other  destructive  changes  than  the  in- 
cisors. The  morbid  process  is  sometimes  slow  and  at 
other  times  rapid.  Horses  and  all  animals  suffer  in- 
t  derably  from  toothache.  They  cannot  eat,  depress 
their  head,  or  lay  it  on  the  manger  or  6ide-post,  and 
indicate  marked  relief  when  the  offending  tooth  is 
removed.  The  caries  in  the  early  stage  may  lead  to 
opacity  and  gradually  to  a  dull  brown  or  black  hue  of 
the  enamel.  A  hole  is  formed  and  the  dentine  then 
becomes  diseased.  It  seems  often  to  exfoliate  and 
gradually  to  beat  up  into  its  constituent  elements 
which  are  softened  and  soon  disintegrate.  It  is  the 
accumulation  of  putrefactive  substance  in  the  holes  of 
diseased  teeth  which  induce  great  fetor. 

The  fang  of  the  tooth  may  primarily  become  dis- 
eased, the  pulp  is  destroyed  and  the  tooth,  being  de- 
prived of  nourishment,  dies,  and  is  rubbed  down  by 
the  opposing  tooth.  This  is  often  the  cause  of  fistula 
of  the  face,  an  abcess  forms  in  the  alveolus,  the  bone 
■  wells  and  Boftens,  the  matter  points  to  the  surface 
and  is  discharged  so  that  in  the  course  of  a  few  days 
a  regular  sinus  or  fistula  Is  formed,  which  is  usually 
poorly  treated,  hence  the  unfavorable  result. 

When  the  tooth  socket  is  opened  through  the  tooth 
the  membrane  which  liaes  the  alveolus  becomes  in- 
flamed and  soon  there  is  a  deposition  of  bone  or  ce- 
ment irregularly  around  the  tooth.  The  root  of  the 
tooth  is  therefore  the  seat  of  a  true  exostosis  and  from 
the  tension  of  parts  inflamed  and  thickened  It  is  easy 
to  believe  that  the  poor  animal  must  suffer  intense 
pain.  The  thickening  of  the  bone  or  cement  around 
the  fang  of  a  diseased  molar  tends  to  render  the  ex- 
traction of  the  tooth  more  difficult  than  when  such 
change  has  not  occurred. 

If  caries  affects  either  or  both  of  the  flrBt  two  molars 
it  is  apt  to  induce  atrophy  of  the  bone,  disease  com- 
municating with  the  nasal  chamber.  The  root  of  the 
third  molar  corresponds  to  the  point  where  the  sensi- 
tive fifth  pair  of  nerves  pass  out  of  the  facial  bones 
and  'oil  im.nion  or  thickening  of  the  parts  here  is  at- 
tended with  the  most  excruciating  pain.  Disease  of 
any  of  the  three  last  upper  grinders,  on  the  other 
he   d,  leads  to  extensive  tumefaction  and  disorganiza- 


tion In  the  cavities  known  as  the  maxillary  sinuses, 
which  communicate  with  the  nose  and  dischage 
through  it  the  fetid  pus  which  often  forms  there  in 
consequence. 

Frequently  the  teeth  are  not  looked  at  until  horses 
are  perfectly  emaciated,  or  after  fruitless  efforts  to 
relieve  in  cases  of  oppressed  breathing  from  supposed 
nasal  tumors.  Imperfect  mastication  and  rejection  of 
partly  chewed  food  from  the  mouth  first  indicate  Borne 
source  of  pain  or  imperfect  action  of  the  teeth.  Corn 
is  greedily  swallowed,  but  without  being  crushed  by 
the  molars,  and  Is  therefore  seen  whole  in  the  ex- 
crement. The  system  soon  suffers  and  the  animals, 
hide-bound  and  languid,  are  readily  attacked  with 
disease,  especially  colic,  due  to  the  undigested  food, 
which  distends  the  large  inteitine. 


Audubon  Boy  2:033-4  and   Ecstatic  2:051-4  to 
Race  for  $10,000. 

Audubon  Boy  2:03}  and  Ecstatics  2:05}  respectivjly, 
the  fastest  stallion  and  mare  owned  in  New  England, 
will  meet  in  a  dual  race  over  the  New  England  breed- 
ers' ttack  in  Read ville,  Thursday,  August  24tb,  the 
fourth  day  of  Boston's  Grand  Circuit  meeting. 

The  match  is  for  $10,000,  $5000  a  side  and  is  the 
result  of  the  sweeping  challenge  which  was  published 
in  the  Boston  Globe.  James  Gatcomb,  the  owner  of 
Audubon  Boy,  and  John  Dorey,  representing  the 
owner  of  Ecstatics,  met  at  the  Globe  office  and  in  a 
very  few  minutes  the  match  waB  arranged. 

Both  men  had  the  same  ideas  as  to  conditions,  for- 
feits, and  the  track  to  race  over.  Frank  G.  Trott  of 
the  Globe  is  stakeholder,  and  the  contract  calls  for  the 
race  to  be  paced  over  Read  ville  on  thedate  mentioned 
provided  the  track  is  in  condition  for  fast  time.  If 
the  footing  is  heavy  the  contest  is  to  be  postponed 
until  the  first  good  day  and  track. 

The  Read  ville  management  will  not  be  asked  to 
offer  any  added  money,  so  that  the  principals  in  the 
match  will  be  free  to  decide  on  the  footing.  Howland 
RusboII,  president  of  the  Breeders'  Association,  very 
gladly  agreed  to  this  arrangement,  and  remarked  that 
it  should  prove  a  remarkably  good  drawing  card.  The 
race  will  be  mile  heats,  best  two  in  three,  to  harness. 
Ever  since  Dorey's  challenge  appeared  there  has 
been  a  great  deal  of  speculation  as  to  his  "unknown'' 
pacer.  The  defi  being  aimed  especially  at  John  M' 
many  thought  that  he  was  acting  for  the  owner  of 
Gallagher,  the  Canadian  pacer,  who  raced  against 
John  M.  so  many  times  last  season.  A  few  guessed 
Ecstatic,  but  these  few  were  of  the  firm  opinion  that 
If  it  was  the  daughter  of  Oratorio  he  would  have  none 
the  worst  of  any  match  he  could  get  on. 

Ecstatic  made  a  splendid  campaign  last  year,  losing 
ouly  one  race,  her  first  Btartat  Worcester.  Her  racing 
was  over  mile  and  half-mile  tracks  in  the  west  and 
east.  Her  record  of  2:05}  was  made  at  Hamline, 
Minn.,  over  a  track  considered  Blow,  and  was  timed  in 
2:03|  from  wire  to  wire. 

At  the  fall  meeting  at  Readville  she  won  a  race 
which  stamped  her  one  of  the  very  greatest  of  pacing 
mares,  the  time  being  2:06|,  2:061,  2:06},  and  faBt  as 
they  were,  she  reeled  off  the  miles  with  ease. 

She  is  Bix  years  old  and  has  always  been  driven  and 
trained  by  Frank  Lang,  the  clever  Vermont  reinsman, 
who  will  fit  and  handle  her  in  her  coming  match.  She 
iB  owned  and  raced  by  Roaring  Brook  stable,  Barton, 
Vt.  The  best  of  judges  6peak  of  her  as  a  sure  two- 
minute  pacer,  as  they  do  also  of  the  great  horse  she 
is  matched  against. 

Auduuon  Boy  is  too  well  known  to  need  more  than 
passing  mention.  He  was  the  champion  money-win- 
ning pacer  of  1901,  and  in  1902  went  down  the  line 
without  a  defeat.  He  was  not  raced  in  the  two  follow, 
ing  campaigns.  He  has  been  handled  with  much 
judgment  and  today  looks  better  than  ever  before  at 
this  season  of  the  year. 

Both  ownerB  have  unbounded  faith  in  their  horses, 
and  until  they  meet  at  Readville  next  August  each 
man  will  be  happy  in  the  belief  that  he  owns  the 
fastest  harness  race  horse  in  the  world  — Boston  Globe, 


class  of  people,  and  more  of  them,  becoming  inter- 
ested in  breeding,  racing,  owning  and  driving  the 
ideal  horse,  the  American  trotter.  Brisk  and  pros- 
perous as  has  been  the  sale  season  equally  so,  at 
least,  promises  to  be  the  racing  season  of  1905,  while 
in  breedingcircles  conditions  were  never  more  active, 
the  books  of  mioy  of  the  leading  speed  sires  having 
already  filled  to  overflowing.  The  meaning  of  all 
this  is  that  the  trotting  horse  industry  has  become 
one  of  the  fixed,  perpetual,  eminently  respectable  and 
dignified  business  industries  of  the  country,  and  is 
destined  so  to  remain,  attended  by  only  such  waves 
of  depression  as  from  time  to  time  temporarily  effect 
all  industries,  most  likely  to  the  end  of  time.  TheBe 
things  being  true,  the  trotting  horse  industry  as  a 
whole,  and  the  trotting  horse  breeding  business  in 
particular,  should  be  conducted  on  the  same  plan  of 
expected  permanency  as  other  great  industries 
Makeshifts  and  temporary  methods  should  be  sup- 
planted by  methodical  stability,  plans  for  perpetuity 
and  greater  and  prolonged  successes.  A  new  era  has 
presented  itself  to  the  American  horse  breeder,  the 
trotting  turfman  and  the  trotting  horse  dealer.  The 
whole  thing  is  a  business,  od  a  business  basis,  and 
not  a  ''gamble,"  as  it  was  fifteen  years  ago  under 
fictitious  prices,  and  six  or  seven  years  ago  under  no 
prices  at  all. — Western  Horseman. 


A  Banner  Year. 


Unless  actual  facts  and  demonstrated  actually  ex- 
isting conditions  are  deceptive  and  misleading,  the 
year  1905  will  be  the  banner  year  of  many  years  in  the 
trotting  horse  industry.  All  of  the  great  trotting 
horse  sales  during  the  closing  months  of  1904  were 
unusually  successful,  while  all  of  the  sales  of  this 
year  have  been  marvelously  successful,  prices  being 
decidedly  higher  than  for  a  half  score  of  years  back, 
and  the  demand  at  all  times  for  really  desirable  stock 
much  In  excess  of  the  supply.  Never  have  Indiana 
and  Illinois  had  such  sales,  while  the  last  Lexington 
sale  was  by  all  odds  the  most  successful  held  there 
In  near  a  dozen  years.  The  reaction  In  f  jvor  of  U  e 
trottlng-bred  horse  has  been  most  complete  all  along 
the  line,  and    each    succeeding    year    finds   a  better 


How  the  Money  is  Divided. 

Secretary  Walter  J.  Snyder  of  the  Detroit  Driving 
Club  is  receiving  numerous  inquiries  regarding  the 
three  heat  plan,  which  is  the  plan  the  Merchants*  and 
Manufacturers'  and  Chamber  of  Commerce  Stakes 
will  ba  raced  on.  The  following  explains  the  division 
of  the  money: 

The  $10,000  M.  and  M.  Stake  for  2:24  class  trotters, 
$2000  is  first  set  aside  for  a  Consolation.  Of  the  re- 
maining $8000,  $500  is  6et  aside  and  awarded  to  the 
winner  of  the  race.  The  remaining  $7500  is  divided 
into  three  parts — $2500 — which  shall  be  the  amount 
raced  for  in  each  heat.  This  amount  shall  be  divided, 
$1300  to  the  winner  of  each  heat,  $700  to  the  second 
horse  in  each  heat,  and  $500  to  the  third  horse  in  each 
heat.  By  this  plan  if  a  horses  finishes  but  third  only 
once,  he  has  earned  $500.  The  plan  also  gives  horses 
ninechanceB  to  win  a  portion  of  the  money  and  the 
smallest  amount  that  can  be  won  is  $500 — the  exact 
C08t  of  starting  in  the  race — and  should  a  horse  win 
any  portion  of  any  heat  and  later  be  distanced,  he  will 
be  entitled  to  the  money  already  won. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  conditions  are  identical 
with  thp  M.  and  M.  and  the  amounts  raced  for  one- 
half— $650  to  the  winner  of  each  heat,  $350  to  the 
second  horse  and  $250  to  the  third  horse  in  each  heat. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  the  majority  that  the  conditions 
governing  these  classics  are  the  most  liberal  ever 
offered.  The  fact  that  they  give  the  Northern  trained 
horses  an  equal  chance  with  the  Southern  trained 
one  is  recognized  by  all  the  trainers.  Another  feature 
which  is  favorable  is  tbat  there  is  no  chance  for  a 
long  drawn  out  contest  and  the  possibility  of  a  good 
horse  being  ruined  in  the  first  race  of  the  year.

Frank  Skinner's  California  Derby-winner,  Bomba- 
dier,  furnished  the  chief  surprise  of  the  week  in 
racing  circles.  In  his  five  starts  previous  to  winning, 
the  bay  horse  had  not  been  better  than  fifth  at  the 
Inish,  and  in  several  of  them  had  wound  up  "abso- 
lutely." Yet  his  owner  played  him  on  Wednesday 
for  quite  a  tidy  sum  to  beat  Dr.  Leggo,  which  had 
beaten  him  just  a  week  before  by  something  over 
sixteen  lengths.  Verily,  this  was  a  flipfiop— a  triple 
one  from  a  standing  start  and  without  a  springboard, 
However.it  can  be  said  in  justice  to  the  horse  that 
the  going  of  Wednesday  was  just  to  his  liking  (slow 
and  drying  out),  while  the  tracks  did  not  just  Buit 
him  previously.  

About  the  most  improved  horse  racing  here  now  is 
Hulford.  In  his  last  two  races  he  has  made  his  fields 
look  as  common  as  dishwater,  getting  off  none  too 
well,  runniDg  past  the  bunch  as  if  they  were  nailed 
down,  and  winning  pulled  up  almost  to  a  walk.  He 
was  bred  at  Napa  Stock  Farm,  and  is  by  the  good 
Australian  horse.  Crichton,  out  of  the  excellent  pro- 
ducing mare  Nellie  Bell.  He  was  a  good  performer  in 
1904,  but  is  better  now  than  at  any  time  in  his  career. 

James  Woods,  of  Emeryville,  has  retired  the  mag- 
nificent Greenock  to  the  stud  and  I  predict  that  the 
son  of  Bramble  and  Lillian  Lindsay,  if  given  a  fair 
opportunity,  will  outbreed  any  stallion  In  this  State. 
He  is  a  grand  individual — next  to  Arabo  the  best 
looking  horse  tbat  has  raced  here  this  winter,  to  my 
mind — has  been  a  stake-winner  at  the  far  East,  in  the 
Middle  West  and  in  California,  and  is  bred  far  better 
on  dam's  side  than  is  Ben  Brush,  the  Bramble  horse 
that  finished  second  to  Meddler  as  a  sire  of  winners 
in  America  last  season,  the  oldest  of  Brush's  get  being 
four  years  old.  Bramble  was  Bonnie  Scotland's  beat 
son,  as  a  sire,  and  Greenock's  dam,  Lillian  Lindsay,  a 
stake-winner,  was  by  Hindoo,  best  race  horse  of  his 
day  and  sire  of  Hanover,  best  race  horse  and  sire  of 
his  time.  Greenock  has  won  something  like  forty 
races  during  his  turf  career,  could  "sprint"  as  well  as 
"stay"  and  I  only  wish  I  had  a  stock  farm,  I  would 
look  no  further  for  a  premier  stallion — that  is  if  Mr. 
Woods  weuld  sell  the  horse — and  not  being  a  breeder, 
I  presume  he  would,  if  the  consideration  was  at  all 
reasonable. 

Garnett  Ferguson  brought  Military  Man  to  the  post 
last  Tuesday(after  a  long  let-up  foroed  by  acutdown) 
in  the  grandest  condition  possible,  and  he  won  an 
exceptionally  fast  race,  like  the  game  race  horse  he 
has  proven  himself  to  be  times  without  number.  At 
the  head  of  the  homestretch  the  chart  says  he  was 
eight  lengths  behind  the  leader,  yet  he  won  by  three 
parts  of  a  length  rather  handily  I  thought. 


The  same  day  that  Military  Man  won  Misty 's  Pride 
ran  the  best  race  of  the  week,  from  a  time  and  weight- 
carrying  standpoint,  giving  weight  away  to  every- 
thing in  the  race  and  winning  in  1:07  over  a  rather 
Blow  course,  with  113  lbs.  on.  Best  Man  turned  another 
one  of  those  flipfiops  for  which  he  is  noted,  and  won 
over  the  Futurity  course  with  great  ease  in  1:11  carry- 
ing 127  lbs  ,  and  being  well  played.  I  have  never  seen 
a  horse  who  runs  better  when  the  checks  are  down 
or  worse  when  they  are  in  the  dealer's  "rack." 


It  looks  as  if  the  warring  magnates  of  the  Middle 
West  were  "tumbling"  to  the  fact  that  they  were 
miking  fools  of  themselves — with  a  capital  F.  Sheriff 
Tom  Barrett  declared  the  other  day  that  if  the 
Western  Jockey  Club  did  not  draw  in  its  horns  and 
stop  its  ridiculous  "yap"  about  "outlaws,"  he  would 
not  turn  over  a  hand  to  help  them  to  race  around 
Chicago.  Now  it  would  appear  as  if  that  official's 
words  had  had  som^  effect  upon  Condon  and  his 
cohorts,  for  Worth,  Hawthorne  and  the  rest  will  race 
out  their  dates  as  originally  allotted  by  the  W.  J.  C., 
and  the  chances  are  the  "outlaw"  talk  ^ill  be  but  a 
strange  memory.  The  W.  J.  C.  drew  in  its  horns 
materially  at  Memphis  when  it  allowed  the  friends  of 
the  American  Turf  Association  to  run  off  its  stake 
engagements  over  the  W.  J  C.  track.  There  will  be 
war  and  loss  of  money  at  St.  Louis  up  to  June  16tb, 
the  Union  and  Fair  GroundB  people  running  opposi- 
tion agaiD,  just  as  they  did  last  season.  This  is  just  a 
fair  sample  of  the  dog-In  the-manger  spirit  that  pre- 
vades  "magnateorial"  circles  in  the  Middle  West  and 
South,  and  it  will  ever  be  thus  until  the  breeders  join 
hands  and  own  most  of  the  race  tracks  in  their  part 
of  the  world.  Then  they  will  allot  such  dates  tbat 
racing  will  not  become  an  eyesore  to  the  church  man 
or  buslneBB  man  minus  the  sportiDg  spirit.  There  are 
eno  igh  cities  in  the  Middle  West  to  form  a  fine  circuit 
without  offending  anyone.  I  see  Corrlgan  has  corraled 


the  fair  grounds  track  at  Indianapolis,  Ind.  A  com- 
mon-sense  allotment  would  have  saved  racing  and 
breeding  interests  in  Missouri,  beyond  a  doubt,  St. 
Louis  could  have  stood  three  months'  racing  per  year 
where  eight  caused  agitation  and  legislation.  Cin- 
cinnati could  easily  support  two  months'  racing  per 
season,  Louisville  one,  Chicago  easily  four,  leaving 
two  months  for  Memphis,  Nashville  and  New  Orleans. 
Had  this  plan  been  followed  out  how  much  better  it 
would  have  been  for  all  concerned  !  As  matters  now 
stand,  racing  will  be  dead  In  Missouri  after  June  16, 
1905,  in  Tennessee  after  December  1st  next,  while  in 
Illinois  it  is  dead  now — if  the  law  against  betting  is 
enforced  In  their  greed  for  gold  the  swine-like  track 
owners  havelost  sight  of  the  fact  that  a  little  racing 
is  a  good  thing  in  common,  and  that  long-continued 
meetings  are  and  always  will  cause  agitation  and 
adverse  legislation.  It  will  take  years  to  right  tbe 
damage  the  managerial  hogs  have  done  in  the  racing 
garden  and  meantime  the  breeders  should  think  over 
the  ways  and  means  to  save  their  financial  bacon.

Does  the  History  of  the    Turf    Teach  That  All 

Animals  Tracing  to  "Impure  or  Obscure" 

Sources  Should  Be  Discarded? 


[Foxhall  A.  Dalngerfleld  in  Thoroughbred  Record.] 

Bruce  Lowe,  page  66,  of  his  work  "Breeding  Race- 
horses by  the  Figure  System,"  says:  "Colonel  Upton 
has  laid  it  down  as  a  law  that  the  male  should  be 
purer  and  better  bred  than  the  female,  if  there  is  a 
choice  to  be  made. 

"Doubtless  this  was  by  way  of  proving  that  because 
the  majority  of  the  best  sires  in  the  "Stud  Book" 
(.English  of  course)  are  descended  from  the  Darley 
Arabian,  whom  he  considered  superior  to  the  Barbs 
and  Turks,  they  must  perforce  have  been  purer  bred 
than  their  mates,  who  hailed  from  Barb,  Royal  and 
obscure  smrces.  My  figures,  however,  prove  the 
contrary.  They  show  clearly  that  the  best  and  moBt 
prolific  dams  in  the  Stud  Book,  as  a  rule,  come  from 
three  running  lines  (1,  2,  4)  origin,  pure  Barb  descent. 
Whereas  the  best  sires  (as  showD  in  the  two  last  pedi- 
grees of  Chester  and  Isonomy)are  a  combination  of 
families  of  impure  origin,  and  this  can  be  proved  by 
scores  of  examples  beyond  any  question." 

In  England  there  was  racing  before  the  introduc- 
tion of  Eastern  blood.  The  most  meritorious  of  the 
native  mares  bred  to  importations  of  pure  Eastern 
blood  formed  the  foundatiot  of  the  EDglish  thorough- 
bred of  to-day.  There  were  horses  owned  by  the 
American  colonists  before  English  thoroughbreds 
were  imported  for  the  improvement  of  the  breed — 
through  the  most  gifted  of  these  mares,  bred  to  Eng- 
lish or  Arabian  imported  "thoroughbreds, "  we  estab- 
lished the  American  racehorse.  We  had  no  recog- 
nized Stud  Book  for  the  preservation  of  a  record  of 
these  breedings — else  in  our  obscure  families  of  Ameri- 
can origiD  and  tracing  to  no  family  accepted  in  the 
English  Stud  Book  as  a  tap  root,  could  they  be  traced, 
they  would  probably  be  found  to  contain  as  many  im- 
pure elements  as  O'Kelly's  Eclipse. 

At  any  rate  the  impurities  iD  accepted  English  and 
American  pedigreee  are,  in  most  cases,  so  covered  by 
accepted  strains  ae  to  be  beyond  the  reach  of  atavism. 
These  families  are  accepted  and  given  place  in  Bruce's 
American  Stud  Book,  the  first  volume  of  which  was 
published  in  1873,  and  contains  probably  more  errors 
than  the  English  Stud  Book,  though  this  is  a  most 
generous  admission  by  an  American,  and  possibly 
should  be  accredited  to  courtesy  to  our  "cousins,"  or 
ignorance  of  the  English  Stud  Book.  It  is  but  just  to 
the  deceased  author  of  the  American  Stud  Book  to 
say  that  owing  to  the  war  between  the  stateB  in  1861- 
1865  his  work  was  greatly  embarra&ed.  aDd  the 
elements  of  uncertainty  in  data  obtained  materially 
increased.  The  avenues  of  error  opened  by  the  capture 
and  dispersal  of  studs  iu  the  principal  (almost  the 
exclusive)  thoroubgbred  breeding  States,  with  the 
loss  of  destruction  of  private  Stud  Books  and  other 
data,  and  the  killing  of  a  large  per  cent  of  the  breed- 
ers themselves,  made  Mr.  Bruce's  an  Herculean  task. 

Almost  every  paper  giving  space  to  turf  and.  breed- 
ing topics  iB  now  engaged  in  a  crusade  against  the  so- 
called  '  tainted"  American  strains  of  blood  from 
which  have  descended  (practically)  all  of  the  good 
horses  America  has  ever  bred.  I  have  asked  some  of 
these  "purists"  how  they  accounted  for  the  fact  that 
every  one  of  the  greatest  runners  of  heats  from  Oiie 
mile  to  four,  without  a  single  exception,  is  descended 
in  one  or  more  lines  from  the  exact  horse  (Timoleon) 
who  they  make  their  bete  noir.  From  Boston,  Lex- 
ington, Lecooopte,  Idlewild,  Planet,  Kentucky,  Harry 
Bassett,  Fellowcraft,  Glenmore,  etc  ,  nothing  pre- 
eminent at  4-mile  heats  has  failed  to  be  "tainted" 
with  this  Bame  "scrub"  strain.  But  my  friend,  the 
purist,  says  "These  horses  could  not  run  fast,  and 
besides  nearly  all  the  horses  they  met  had  this  same 
blood— they  were  merely  beating  each  other."  Even 
then   there   were   many    not  so   "tainted,"  but    the 


records  of  the  races  do  not  embrace  them,  unles9 
among  the  "also  rans." 

At  the  close  of  the  war  between  the  States,  Asteroid, 
Kentucky  and  Norflolk,  all  by  Lexington,  grandson 
of  the  bete  noir,  were  the  competitors  for  primacy  at 
four  miles. 

When  Mr.  Lorillard  and  Mr.  Keene  sen;  Iroquois 
aud  Foxball  to  England  they  were  not  appalled  by 
the  tainted  line  in  their  respective  pedigrees,  nor 
later  did  the  same  tainted  s.rain  in  Cap  and  BellB  and 
Disguise  II  prevent  their  going  to  England  to  battle 
with  their  best,  for  their  best  stakes.  The  result  Is 
too  well  known  to  need  rep-tition  here. 

Heat  races  are  of  the  past,  but  to  this  date  no  horse 
has  been  pre-eminent  at  anv  distance  (a  holder  of  a 
record)  who  was  not  of  "tainted"  blood,  according  to 
these  purists. 

But  they  say  those  horses  hadn't  the  speed.  Yet 
Fanny  Holton  could  not  keep  Ten  Broeck  from  leav- 
ing the  turf  with  the  fastest  records  for  a  dash  at  1,  2, 
3  and  4  miles,  for  ]J  and  2|  miles.  Even  at  one  mile 
he  chipped  off  a  considerable  fraction  of  time,  only  to 
be  reduced  by  another  horse  "tarred  with  the  same 
stick."  And  so  on  it  has  progressed  despite  the 
enormous  importations  of  "thoroughbred"  sires  atdl 
dams. 

The  persistency  of  this  claim  that  the  old  timer 
could  not  hold  his  own  in  the  dash  races  of  today,  and 
the  ex-cathedra  utterances  of  the  detractors  of  all 
things  American,  would  have  "set  me  running, "from 
my  point  of  view,  had  I  not,  by  age,  loss  all  my  speed- 

I,  therefore,  could  do  no  better  than  to  look  into 
the  records  of  "thoroughbreds"  and  to  see  how  nearly 
the  horses  of  "tainted"  blood  now  approach  them  in 
actual  speed.  But,  to  my  amazsment,  the  "thorough- 
breds" at  the  front  in  the  list  of  1904  holders  of 
"fastest  time  on  record"  are  as  hard  for  me  to  find  as 
the  frightened  Confederate  found  it  to  "spot  a  fellow 
worse  scared  than  himself  " 

The  only  meritorious  record  of  "fastest  on  record" 
over  a  distance  of  ground  now  held  by  a  horse  strictly 
thoroughbred,  is  Ethelbert's  2J-  miles  (in  1899)  a  four- 
year  old,  with  124  lbs.  up,  in  3:49  1-5. 

The  records  of  two  other  odd  distances,  viz:  5J  fur- 
longs and  1  3-16  miles,  are  held  by  McGee  and  Scintil- 
lant,  thoroughbreds.  These  are  the  only  three  of 
purely  imported  blood  holding  "fastest  on  record"  to 
the  close  of  1904. 

With  the  enormous  importations  the  thoroughbreds 
have  not  gone  to  the  fore  with  strides  to  alarm  the 
breeders  who  may  have  left  a  few  "tainted"  brood- 
mares, or  even  an  American  stallion  or  two.  Every 
record  for  heats  is  held  by  a  horse  of  "tainted"  blood. 

All  but  three  dash  records  are  held  by  horses  carry, 
ing  this  "taint,"  a  handicap  which  has  not  yet 
stopped  them. 

The  three   records   held   by  McGee,  Scintillant  and 

Ethelbert,  thoroughbreds,    have  been   given   above, 

the  other  fastest   records   are  held   as  follows:  Com.

All  tainted! 

If  "No.  10"  is  correct  in  his  view  that  "climatic  con- 
ditions'" in  America  cause  the  deterioration  of  English 
thoroughbreds  imported,  is  it  not  singular  that  the 
descendants  of  Diomed,  Trustee  and  Glencoe  are  still 
so  much  in  evidence  in  our  American  thoroughbred? 

I  have  long  thought  the  modern  EDglish  thorough- 
bred lacked  tbe  soundness  and  vigor  of  constitution 
of  "the  grand  old  Importations"  and  did  not  so  well 
resist  the  depleting  effect  of  the  acclimatizing  fever.

The  Trouting  Season. 

The  first  of  April  is  here  and  trout  fishing  time  is 
on,  prospects  for  a  good  season  are  very  favorable. 
Bait  fishing  will  be  tbe  rule  fora  week  or  two,  possibly 
longer.  Spoons  will  also  have  an  inning  for  a  while. 
The  recent  rains  have  filled  rivers,  creeks  ard  brooks 
bank  hi?h  and  made  the  waters  look  like  pea  soup. 
There  will  be  many  anglers  out  today  and  tomorrow 
nevertheless,  some  few  decent  baskets  will  be  taken 
but  not  many  we  believe.  Good  luck  and  much  sport 
to  the  Iraternity  anyhow.

The  Dry  Fly  and  Non-Rising  Fish. 

The  phrase  "waiting  for  the  rise"  always  recalls  to 
the  mind  of  one  veteran  fisherman,  the  memory  of  a 
disconsolate  angler  sitting  by  the  water's  edge  and 
complaining  that  he  had  reached  the  river  at  9  a.  m. 
and  (it  was  then  6  p.  m  )  had  been  waiting  for  tbe  ri6e 
ever  since.  He  bad  smoked,  lunched,  studied  botany 
and  entomology,  done  some  extempore  wood-carving 
with  his  penknifeand  bits  of  btick:  he  had  admired 
the  scenery,  and  inhaled  tbe  pure  air  of  heaven;  if  he 
had  had  a  book,  he  would  have  read  in  short,  be  had 
shown  himself  possessed  of  an  all  round  resourceful 
mind.  But  he  bad  not  done  what  he  chiefly  came 
out  to  do,  any  fishing,  and  he  was  beginning  to  doubt 
whether  he  would  do  any  for  the  stream  remained 
absolutely  untroubled  by  eigne  of  feeding  fisb,  and  he 
was  t  person  of  strictest  orthodoxy. 

O  ,e  cannot  help  admiring  so  lofty  a  conception   of 


the  ideal,  but  one  feels  that  is  all  it  is;  it  is  not  fishing. 
Most  of  us  prefer  that  the  rod  should  not  be  quite  idle 
when  we  are  by  the  river  and  not  a  few  in  like  circum- 
stances would  have  "raked  the  water  with  a  wet  fly." 

It  does  not,  of  course,  often  happen  that  there  is  no 
rise  at  all.  But  one  remembers  reading  reports  from 
some  favorite  resort:  '  Quite  a  lot  of  salmon  flies  out 
between  12:45  and  1.  Pish  taking  well  "  Considered 
with  an  open  mind,  this  is  not  much  better  that  no 
rise  at  all,  and  it  is  odds  that  auring  these  precious 
fifteen  minutes  the  fisherman  who  has  been  waiting 
since  9  a.  m  ,  (or  earlier)  will  be  away  from  the  bank, 
seeking  fuurleaved  clover  or  doing  other  useful 
botanical  work.  This  ib  what  may  have  happened  to 
the  disconsolate  one  before  mentioned.  Again,  the 
angler  may  not  reach  the  river  at  all  until  tne  after- 
noon, in  wnich  case  the  result  is  the  same.  Or  it  may 
even  happen  that  he  had  the  benefit  of  the  fifteen 
minutes'  rise,  and  yet,  from  one  reason  or  another, 
caugnt  nothing.  More,  trout  can  be  put  down  in  five 
minutes  than  were  ever  landed  in  the  same  space  of 
time.  In  fact,  all  roads  of  reflection  in  this  matter 
seem  to  lead  to  the  same  point — an  empty  basket  after 
little  or  no  fishing. 

Looking  the  matter  thus  boldly  in  the  face,  one  is 
inclined  to  wonoer  whether  this  last  straw  in  the 
angler's  cup  of  disappointment  is  not  to  some  extent 
unnecessary  and  artificial.  It  arises  undoubtedly 
from  the  angliDg  commandment:  "Thou  shalt  not 
fish  except  tnou  spottest  a  rising  trout."  It  is  a  good 
commandment  in  a  general  way  when  the  rise  is  a 
matter  of  reasonable  duration,  but  if  the  fishing  has 
to  be  compresssed  into  fifteen  minutes  or  not  done  at 
all,  one  begins  to  rebel.  Nor  is  one's  mood  much 
appeased  by  the  explanation  that  the  commandment 
is  utilitarian  in  intention  and  (if  commandments  ever 
did  contain  a  "because"  clause)  mignt  be  amplified 
with  'because  thou  canst  not  catch  a  trout  that  is  not 
rising  '  One  is  dissatisfied  with  this  clause  because  it 
is  not  true. 

Thio  is  ex  mplified  by  an  angler,  who  said:  "One 
day  I  was  watching  a  trout,  of  the  kind  that  never 
rise,  in  a  water  where  the  capture  of  a  trout  on  a  dry 
fly  constitutes  a  new  epoch,  a  big-headed,  dark  boditd 
fish  that  lives  on  miunows,  hellgramites,  etc.,  and 
other  unorthodox  fare,  suffering  from  acute  dyspepsia 
in  consequence.  The  fish,  which  may  have  been  two 
and  ougnt  to  have  been  three  pounds,  lay  stolidly  on 
the  bottom;  had  it  been  a  pi  ce  of  lead  pipe  it 
might  have  been  more  useful,  but  it  could  not  have 
shown  less  interest  in  life.  Nevertheless  it  was  a 
trout,  a  visible  trout,  in  a  water  where  trout  are  all 
too  few,  and  a  small  red  spinner  was  dispatched  as  a 
token  of  recognition.  And  that  big-headed,  black- 
bodied,  dyspeptic  fish  detached  itself  from  tbe  bottom 
as  the  fly  floated  down,  rose  with  remarkable  celerity 
and  seized  it  like  any  troutling.  The  thing  was  so 
unexpected  that  I  forgot  to  tighten  on  the  fish,  which 
quickly  rejected  the  fly  and  returned  to  the  bottom. 
Nor  did  a  trial  of  many  other  patterns  produce  an- 
other rise.  Nevertheless  the  fact  remained  that  with 
a  small,  dry  fly  I  had  risen  and  should  have  hooked  a 
trout  that  was  not  rising  in  a  river  where  these  fish, 
to  all  intents  and  purposes,  do  not  rise." 

Other  experiences  of  the  kind  are  not  unknown  and 
this  instance  is  quoted  by  way  of  illustration  of  the 
point  of  this  article,  which  is,  the  possibility  of  catch* 
ing  trout  with  the  dry  fly  when  they  are  not  rising,  a 
possibility  by  no  means  to  be  neglected  when  tbe 
prospeds  of  a  rise  are  remote. 

The  main  principle  to  bear  in  mind  is  that  any  trout 
which  you  can  see,  if  it  displays  any  sign  of  animation 
at  all,  is  worth  putting  a  flyover.  In  the  case  re- 
corded the  fish  displayed  no  sign  of  animation,  and 
was  as  unlikely  a  subj  ct  for  experiment  as  coula  be 
found.  In  an  ordinary  trout  stream,  where  trout  are 
reasonably  plentiful,  he  would  have  been  left  severely 
alone.  But,  then,  in  such  a  stream  one  can  hardly 
fail  to  find  here  and  there  a  fish  which  is  willing  to 
take  a  fly  if  it  falls  opportunely. 

An  effective  method  cf  procedure  is  to  look  for  such 
a  fisb  close  under  the  nigh  bank,  and,  of  course,  up 
stream.  By  means  of  a  cautious  advance,  taking  ad- 
vantage of  every  bit  of  cover,  and  holdirjg  one's  rod 
well  away  from  tbe  water,  one  can  often  get  quite 
close  to  a  fish  which  is  lying  within  an  inch  or  so  of 
tbe  bank  close  to  the  surface,  and  apparently  lost  in 
meditation.  If  a  small  red  palmer  (as  good  a  fly  for 
the  work  as  any)  should  drop  from  the  bank,  as  it 
were,  immediately  in  front  of  the  trout's  nose,  tbe 
chances  are  at  least  even  that  he  will  have  it,  and 
such  a  balance  of  probability  is  well  worth  testing 

There  are  two  good  methods  of  presenting  the  fly. 
One  is  to  cast  straight  up  stream  in  the  uaual  manner, 
trying  to  make  the  fly  hit  the  grass  before  it  falls  on 
to  tbe  water.  This  is  the  safer  method  as  far  as  get- 
ting hung  up  goes.  The  other  method  is  what  may 
be  termed  the  cross-country  cast,  in  which  the  line 
falls  on  the  grass  while  the  fly  drops  over  the  edge  of 
the  bank,  with  some  three  feet  of  leader  at  its  dis- 
posal to  prevent  an  immediate  drag.  Tbe  line  must 
be  checked  before  the  cast  is  quite  finished,  so  that 
tbe  fly  falls  first  and  reaches  the  fish  before  any  of 
tbe  leader  strikes  the  water.  A  fly  presented  in  this 
manner  is  more  convincing  than  in  the  other- hut  it 
will  be  found  that  the  herbageis  wonderfully  tenacious, 
and  the  angler  will  inevitably  get  hung  up  from  time 
to  t'me.  The  first  method  is,  on  the  whole,  less  try- 
ing to  the  temper,  but  it  occasionally  happens  that 
fi-.li  can  only  be  reached  by  the  second  then  temper 
cannot  be  considered.    On   one  occasion   when  thi6 


plan  was  tried  on  a  fish  lying  just  above  a  tuft  of 
grass.  A  small  tree  on  the  left  prevented  an  upstream 
cast,  so  there  was  nothing  for  it  but  the  "cross- 
country" tacties.  The  first  fly  was  ignored  and  in 
the  recovery  took  firm  hold  'of  the  grass  tuft;  the 
angler  still  kneeling,  pulled  the  line  till  the  gut  broke 
and  tben  put  on  another  fly  This  one  duly  joined 
its  mate  in  the  grass  tuft,  as  did  a  third, *but  the 
fourth  fly  caught  the  fish  after  which  the  three  flies 
were  recovered  and  replaced  in  the  fly-book. 

Fishing  over  non-rising  trout  is,  it  need  hardly  be 
statf-d,  not  advisableif  rising  trout  are  to  be  found, 
butforlackof  better  employ  roent  it  serves  its  turn, 
and  will  often  win  a  few  nice  fish  for  an  otherwise 
empty  basket.  It  is  necessary  to  see  one's  fish  and 
to  move  with  the  greatest  caution,  for  one  cantot  see 
a  trout  from  a  very  longdistance.  A  bright  sun  makes 
it  easier  to  spot  the  fish  and  does  not,  it  is  thought, 
make  tbe  prospects  of  a  rise  any  the  worse;  indeed, 
hot  summer  afternoons,  when  all  seems  hopeless  by 
tbe  rules,  have  sometimes,  when  spent  in  this  manner, 
given  better  sport  than  either  the  mo  ning  or  evening 
rise. 

The  Sportsman's  Show. 

^  The  Pacific  Coast  Forest,  Fish  and  Game  Associa- 
tion exnibition  was  opened  last  evening  with  a  com- 
plimentary reception.  Hon.  Jas.  D  Phelan  delivered 
the  opening  address.  Dr.  F.  W.  D'Evelyn  and  Joa- 
quin Miller  also  addressed  the  large  and  appreciative 
audience. 

The  show  itself  is  a  credit  to  tbe  enterprise  and 
public  spirit  of  tbe  promoters.  Space  will  not  permit, 
this  week,  a  descriptive  notice  of  the  show  No  one 
interested  in  Nature's  ways,  outing,  sports  of  field  and 
stream  should  miss  the  show  at  the  Mechanics  Pavilion, 
in  fact  we  would  earnestly  advise  tbe  reader  to  go 
early  and  often  it  will  repay  you.

The  Vallejo  Gun  Club  opened  the  blue  rock  season 
on  Sunday  last  by  giving  a  preliminary  shoot  at 
their  new  grounds  about  three  miles  above  Vallejo. 
Many  improvements  have  been  made  over  the  old 
grounds  and  the  club  now  has  one  of  the  best  places 
to  shoot  in  the  vicinity  of  this  city.  Regular  club 
shoots  are  held  on  the  second  and  fourth  Sundays  of 
each  month  and  the  club  extends  an  invitation  to  all 
trap  shooters  to  visit  them.  After  April  15th  the  cars 
of  the  Vallejo  and  Napa  Railroad  will  run  directly  to 
the  grounds.  Out  of  a  membership  of  forty-five 
about  twenty  shot  through  all  events  last  Sunday  and 
considering  the  high  wind  some  exceptionally  good 
scores  were  made. 

The  Santa  Ana  Gun  Club  will  hold  a  two-day 
tournament  shortly  following  the  Los  Angeles  shoot, 
April  22,  23.  

The  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club,  besides  medals  and 
trophies,  will  hang  up  a  8400  added  money  purse. 

The  Oceanside  shoot  is  temporarily  postponed.  The 
recent  storms  damaged  the  trap  grounds  to  such  an 
extent  that  extensive  repairs  are  necessary.

DOINGS  IN  DOGEOM. 

READY    FOR    ENTRIES. 

The  office  of  the  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club  was 
opened  at  630  Market  street  last  Monday  morning 
with  Manager  H.  H.  Carlton  in  charge.  Premium 
lists  and  entry  blanks  were  promised  to  be  ready 
today  by  the  printer. 

Mr.  Carlton's  appearance  in  harness  again  is  a  re- 
minder  of  old  times  and  will,  no  doubt,  be  much  in 
favor  of  a  big  list  of  entries  and  smooth  sailing  for 
the  show  in  its  executive  details. 


VICTORIA     ITEMS. 

Secretary  T.  P.  McConnell  of  the  Victoria  City 
Kennell  Club  is  sanguine  that  the  B.  C.  show  will  be 
a  "topper'' this  year.    He  writes: 

We  expect  a  larger  and  better  show  this  year  than 
ever.  From  present  indications  we  will  have  good 
support  from  outside  fanciersand  we  can  alwayscount 
on,  at  least,  150  local  dogs,  so  that  we  ought  to  bench 
275  to  300  dogs.  Last  year  we  tried  the  experiment  of 
giving  cash  prizes,  but  did  not  find  it  a  success, 
although  we  had  assumed  from  the  statements  of  a 
great  many  fanciers,  that  it  would  prove  a  big  card. 
Our  experience  is,  that  it  was  a  failure,  for  we  did  not 
have  as  large  an  entry  as  the  prior  year,  whilst 
both  Seattle  and  Portland  had  bigger  shows  than  in 
1903.  We  therefore  decided  to  again  offer  cups  in 
place  of  cash  prizes.  It  will  be  interesting  to  watch 
results  this  year  Our  club  is  prepared  to  do  just 
what  exhibitors  are  in  favor  of,  but  it  is  believed  cups 
and  trophies  are  more  acceptable.  The  majority  of 
our  fanciers  are  well-to-do  and  have  a  leaning  to  hand- 
some prizes  instead  of  cash. 

Among  other  things,  we  will  have  splendid  competi- 
tion in  English  Setters  this  spring  when  the  best  dogs 
of  England  and  America  come  together.  I  am  show- 
ing Mallwyd  Bob,  England's  best  for  1904,  the  dog 
that  defeated  Ch.  Rumney  Rock  twice.  Friend  Rip- 
linger,  will  show  Ch.  Bracken  o'Leck,  the  New  York 
winner,  Mr.  Bennett  of  Portland  will  show  Ch. 
Stylish  Sergeant  and  against  these  will  be  two  or 
three  local  bred  dogs  that  will  likely  make  one  or  two 
of  tbem  move  down  a  peg.  In  bitches,  Ch  Ellorer, 
Cb.  Pera,  Ch.  Alberts  Ro.-alind,  Zola  Montez, Victoria 
Belle  II.,  Fanilla  Rockline,  Lady  Bird  (just  arrivfd 
here  from  England)  and  otherE — all  making  an  in- 
teresting competition  for  the  blue.  I  think  it  will  be 
the  best  collection  of  Setters  ever  brought  together 
in  the  West  and  I  doubt  if  it  could  be  equalled  any- 
where in  the  East.        

PORTLAND    SHOW    NOTES. 

Indications  point  to  a  fine  show  in  Portland.  Sec- 
retary F.  F.  Wamsley  writes  us: 

"We  expect  to  hold  the  largest  show  in  the  history 
of  the  club  and  as  those  of  the  past  years  have  been 
very  successful  both  in  regard  to  number  of  dogs  ex- 
hibited and  manner  in  which  the  shows  have  been 
conducted  we  feel  satisfied  that  this  one  will  be  up  to 
our  standard  in  general  details  and  considerably  be- 
yond past  records  in  entries.  This  is  the  firBt  show 
held  in  this  city  under  A,  K.  C.  rules  as  heretofore 
this  club  has  been  a  member  of  the  P.  K.  L.  and  W. 
K.  L.  associations.  There  is  an  excellent  opportunity 
for  owners  of  the  right  kind  to  make  champions  this 
year  if  they  have  that  class  of  dogs. 

Mr.  Tom  Ashton  of  Leeds,  England,  will  judge  all 
classes  and  will  no  doubt  take  good  care  of  them  as 
he  is  a  judge  of  twenty-five  years  experience  and  has 
been  breeding  and  exhibiting  dogs  for  the  last  thirty- 
six  years  and  has  judged  all  the  principal  shows  in 
England  and  on  the  continent.  This  is  Mr.  Ashton's 
first  visit  to  America  and  the  PortlaDd  Kennel  Club 
has  reason  to  congratulate  itself  on  securing  the 
services  of  sucb  an  able  man  to  judge  their  show. 

You  will  note  by  the  premium  list  that  the  business 
people  of  Portland  have  been  very  liberal  in  the  dona- 
tion of  trophies  for  the  specials  and  since  that  list  has 
been  published  we  are  in  receipt  of  further  specials 
and  more  coming  in,  we  will  announce  full  list  in  our 
catalogue."  

COLLIE    FANCIERS'    OPPORTUNITY. 

Collie  fanciers  and  breeders  now  have  the  oppor- 
tunity of  securing  one  of  the  be6t  stud  dogs  on  the 
Coast  for  their  bitches. 

Glen  Tana  Bounder  a  big  prize  winner  and  proven 
prod  ucing  sire  is  now  installed  in  the  Glen  Tana  Stock 
Farm  Collie  Kennels  at  Spokane.  Bounder  arrived 
home  on  March  15  in  grand  shape.  He  is  a  very  large, 
strong  boned,  handsome  sable  and  white. 

His  head  is  good  and  long,  small  ears,  placed  right, 
and  in  fact  a  typical  Collie  all  over.  Hectmes  by  it 
all  properly  for  he  was  sired  by  Ch.  Parbold  Piccolo, 
he  is,  by  the  way,  the  only  litter  brother  of  that  great 
sire  Ch.  Anfield  Model.  Aside  from  Bounder's  own 
wins  be  has  sired  the  winners,  Glen  Tana  Talent,  Glen 
Tana  Cracksman  and  Glen  Tana  Christy. 


The  Millwood  Gun  Club  members  contested  in  the 
initial  club  blue  reck  shoot  for  this  season  on  March 
26th.  A  fair  attendance  and  good  averaging  scores 
made  a  somewhat  unpleasant  day  acceptable  for  the 
participants,  among  whom  was,  we  are  pleased  to 
mention,  a  well  liked  and  popular  shooter  "Billy" 
Brown,  whose  advent  00  the  grounds  was  unexpected 
but  appreciated  by  his  shooting  comrades.    The  first 


SEATTLE    TO    BE    DISCIPLINED. 

A  communication  from  Secretary  J.  P.  Norman 
advises  us  that  at  a  special  meeting  of  the  Pacific 
Advisory  Board  held  last  Monday,  March  27th,  the 
following  action  was  taken: 

Resolved — That  any  official,  paid  or  unpaid,  of  any 
show  held  during  the  month  of  April  at  Seattle  under 
rules  other  than  those  of  the  American  Kennel  Club, 
or  any  exhibitor  at  such  show,  or  any  official  or  mem- 
ber of  any  club  holding  such  show,  would  be  thereby 
di-qualified,  and  in  the  event  of  such  being  held,  the 
present  officers  and  members  of  the  Seattle  Kennel 
Club  would  be  disqualified,  the  holding  of  Buch  sbow 
or  being  concerned  therein  being  deemed  conduct 
prejudicial  to  the  best  interests  of  dogs  and  dog  shows. 

It  will  be  noticed  in  the  foregoing  resolution  that 
thedi-qualification  clause  goes  a  bit  further  than  the 
original  resolution  to  that  effect  for  now  both  the  ex- 
hibitor and  member  of  a  club  is  placed  in  the  pro- 
hibited zone — in  other  words  the  American  Kennel 
Club  will  tolerate  no  oiher  kennel  jurisdiction  on  the 
Coast  and  carries  this  non-recognition  to  as  far  reach- 
ing an  extent  as  possible. 

As  we  .ntimited  at  the  time  the  adoption  of  dis- 
qualifying tactics  by  the  Westurn  Kennel  League, 
has  turned  out  to  be  a  boomerang  of  potential 
dimensions.  

Premium  lists  for  the  Vancouver,  Victoria,  Seattle 
and  Portland  shows  can  be  obtained  at  the  office  of

Sport  With  Gun  and  Dog  in  Hawaiian   Islands. 

[By  Capt.  Jas.  H.  Black.] 
The  sportsman  who  seeks  fur  and  feathers  has  as 
good  a  chance  of  gratifying  bis  desires  in  parts  of  the 
Hawaiian  Islands  as  elsewhere,  provided  he  has  the 
proper  gun  and  a  good  Retriever.  Our  mountains  and 
seashores  abound  with  pheasants,  plover  and  other 
varieties  of  feathered  creatures  in  their  respective 
seasons,  and  while  not  as  plentiful  as  in  former  years, 
when  game  birds  were  not  annoyed  by  the  destructive 
mongoose,  there  are  enough  now  for  the  moderate 
demands  of  the  true  sportsman.  A  man  will  tramp 
further  and  work  harder  for  a  few  pheasants  or  plover 
then  he  wiU  for  their  equivalent  In  dollars  and  cents, 
but  labor  of  love  lightens  the  toil,  and  the  exercise 
In  the  bracing  mountain  or  sea  air  so  invigorates  one 
that  he  finds  good  health  a  greater  reward  than  his 
game  dinner.  People  who  come  down  here  for  their 
health  ought  to  get  out  of  Honolulu  every  day  or  so 
in  dungaree  clothes  and  ramble  over  the  mountains 
and  through  the  valleys,  now  scaling  a  cliff  by  climb- 
ing over  the  tops  of  hau  bushes,  and  anon  chasing  the 
nimble  wild  goat  as  it  skips  along  tbe  mountain  sides. 
It's  fun  when  one  gets  used  to  it,  and  that  is  net  long 
after  the  initial  effort  Is  made.  Every  muscle  of  the 
body  is  brought  into  action,   and   the    faculties   of

lew  that  day  and  brought  in  fifteen 

The  plover  is  common, but  furnishes  plenty  of  sport. 
It  flies  against  the  wind  and  the  hunter  gets  dock 
shots  when  he  is  in  a  line  of  the  flight.  The  event  of 
migration  is  worth  traveling  acrosB  the  island  to  see. 
All  these  migratory  creatures  congregate  in  a  great 
field  and,  amid  a  babel  of  vociferous   quackings  and 


who  has  sat  too  long  at  his  desk  in  the  close  atmos- 
phere of  busy  San  Francisco. 

But  this  short  story  relates  to  hunting, 
of  country  rambles  are  not  wanted  here,  though  they     screechings,  for  I  fancy  each   variety   of  bird   has  a 

language  of  its  own.  they   prepare  for  their  annual 
flitting. 

Their  noisy  and  seemingly  angry  debates  must  bear 
directly  upon  the  organization  of  their  forces,  for  the 
very  best  discipline  prevails  when  they  ascend  in  a 
spiral  course  and  catch  a  southwest  wind  above  the 
trade  wind  clouds.  In  this  cui'rent  they  are  carried 
northerly  and  northeasterdly  to  their  temporary 
home  in  the  icy  north. 

As  an  illustration  accompanying  what  two  guns  can 
do  with  plover  and  other  birds  in  a  day's  outing,  I 
remember  a  bag  that  was  brought  down  in  the  spring 
of  1894.  Mr.  Cunningham  and  I  took  a  trip  only  a 
few  miles  from  Honolulu  and  obtained  in  two  hours  17 
pheasants,  15  ducks  and  12  plovers.  The  success  of 
our  trip  made  quite  a  stir  in  the  city  at  the  time,  and 
as  a  consequence  our  photographs    with   the   "real 


appertain  to  the  sportsman's  life.  Let  us  start  at 
one  o'clock  on  a  fine  October  morning,  in  quest  of 
pheasants,  the  finest  game  bird  known  hereoranj- 
where  else.  We  take  a  double  team  and  drive  to,  say, 
Leilehua,  where  we  leave  the  horses  and  wagon  and 
take  up  along  the  ridges.  We  may  walk  ten  or  twenty 
miles  tna.  day,  and  probably  bring  back  to  Honolulu 
early  in  the  evening  six  or  a  dozen  pheasants.  1  here 
are  two  kinds,  the  Mongolian  pheasant  and  the  Japan- 
ese blue  pheasant,  and  they  will  weigh  five  or  six 
pounds  The  former  variety  was  introduced  in  18bS, 
when  a  steamer  oame  here  from  New  Zealand  with  a 
dozen  birds.  A  party  of  us  bought  them  and  turned 
them  loose.  Other  lots  came  afterward,  and  Kame- 
hamameha  V  bought  some  for  the  Island  of  Molokai, 
where  tbevare  very  plentiful.  Itnests  on  theground,

upon  hTs  game  before  he  sees  it.  The  dog  points  it 
and  up  it  comes  from  the  deep  gra6S  or  bush,  like  a 
shot,  and  flies  away  at  the  rate  of  17  yards  a  second. 
This  sudden  appearing  and  vanishing  give  to  the 
pheasant  its  gamy  characteristic,  which  is  the  de- 
light of  the  hunter.  Exceedingly  swift  of  wing,  it 
will  easily  elude  an  amateur,  and  it  requires  any 
amount  of  practice  to  bring  one  down. 

The  illustration  represents  a  day's  bag  of  twenty- 
two  pheasants  shot  recently  on  the  "pheasant  lands" 
back  of  the  Honolulu  plantation.  The  island  pheas- 
ants are  noted  for  bea"uty  of  plumage  and  are  very 
handsome.  The  quartet  of  shooters  were  Mr.  E.  H. 
Paris,  a  sportsman  well  known  in  this  city;  Mr.  Har- 
vey, both  connected  with  E.  O.  Hall  &  Son,  Honolulu, 
and  Messrs.  Austin  and  Gares.  The  Pointer  and  Irish 
Setter  in  the  picture  were  both  bred  in  this  city  and 
sent  to  Honolulu  by  Mr.  Phil 
B  Bekeart.  Both  dogs  have 
been  well  broken  and  have 
developed  into  splendid  field 
workers 

The  novice  gets  a  kind  of 
"buck"  fever  when  one  rises 
in  his  path  On  the  table, 
after  a  "hard  day's  sport,  it 
makes  a  delectable  dish.  The 
season  is  from  the  15th  of  Sep- 
tember to  the  last  of  April. 
The  Mongolian  species  was  in- 
troduced into  the  United  States 
after  we  had  been  shooting 
them  here.  The  Japanese  blue 
pheasant  was  brought  to  Ha- 
waii about  six  years  ago.  The 
bird  will  alight  in  a  tree  when 
disturbed,  but  its  Mongolian 
cousin  never.  The  California 
quail  is  very  abundant  on  Ka- 
uai and  Molokai,  but  few  are 
seen  on  this  island  [Oahu]. 
On  Molokai  there  is  also  the 
royal  quail,  called  in  California 
the  mountain  quail.  I  have 
shot  thirteen  at  a  time  on  Mo- 
lokai. The  wild  turkey  season 
is  concuri  ent  with  the  pheasant 
season,    and    one  must    go   to 

the  Ewa  and  Waianae  mountains  to  find  this  variety 
of  game  plentiful.  It  feeds  on  guavas,  ohelos  and  all 
manner  of  insects,  and  gets  plump  before  Thanks- 
giving.     SometimeB    it  will   weigh    twenty    pounds 


Honolulu  Duke  No.  30858  and  Honolulu  Sport  No. 
28766,  were  taken.  That  this  is  a  coojenial  habitat 
for  the  plover  its  exceeding  fatness  in  February  testi- 
fies. When  it  comes  in  August  it  is  of  normal  size, 
speckled  and  golden,  but  in  six  months  it  is  heavy, 
very  plump  and  black-breasted. 

Mr.  Albert  Wilcox  is  a  benefactor  to  the  sporting 
fraternity  in  Kauai  in  this  way:  Within  the  past  six 
years  he  has  imported  at  considerable  expense  Ameri- 
can pheasants,  prairie  chickens,  grouse  and  partridges, 
engaging  a  man  to  come  down  with  the  coveys. 
Furthermore,  he  offers  a  large  reward  to  anyone  who 
will  furnish  him  with  the  name  of  any  person  taking 
a  mongoose  to  the  Island  of  Kauai.  Two  of  these 
pests  got  into  a  box  of  machinery  one  time  and 
smuggled  themselves  into  the  island.  A  regular  hue 
and  cry  was  started   by  Mr.   Wilcox's  order  to  find

them.    A   big  force  of  men   and  dogs  finally  ran  the 

little  animals  down  and  they  were  quickly  dispatched , 

The  deer  of   Hawaii  are  confined  almost  exclusively 

to  Molokai,  where.owing  to  theinfrequency  of  hunters' 


dressed,  being  quite  a  load  to  pack  on   a  man's  back     visits,  they  increase  and  multiply  and  lose  much  of 


over  mountain  trails.  There  are  lots  of  turkeys  on 
the  other  islands,  too.  Other  things  you  see  up  in  the 
valleys  and  on  mountain  Blopes  are  peacocks  and 
guinea  hens,  though  never  in  abundance.  Some  of 
these  have  escaped  frorr.  domestic  keeping  and  have 
in  time  become  as  wild  as  the  turkeys.  The  Chinese 
pigeons,  commonly  called  doves,  are  legitimate  game 
from  July  1st  to  January  1st. 

The  migratory  birds  are  hunted  extensively.     They 
are  chiefly   the   plover,   curlew,   akekeke,    ulili    also 


the  shyness  that  is  characteristic  of  their  species. 
Some  forty  years  ago  a  small  herd  was  brought  to 
Honolulu  from  Portland,  Oregon.  A  buck  and  a  doe 
were  turned  loose  at  Kahuku  and  the  rest  were  sent 
by  Kamehameha  V  and  Governor  Dominis  to  Molokai, 
where  their  progeny  now  exists. 

A  buck  and  doe  were  also  sent  to  Hawaii,  but  the 
results  of  the  experiment  on  that  island  and  also  Oahu 
were  not  profitable,  the  fawns  were  killed  off  by  wild 
dogs.    Another  lot  after  wards  came  here  from  Ceylon, 


spoonbill,  widgeon  and  sprigtail  ducks.  They  migrate     and   again   more  were  imported  from   China,  all  the 
to  the  shores  of  Behring  Sea  during  the  first  week  of     - 
May,  and  return  with  their  newly    hatched   young  in 
the  first  week   of  August.     How  long  they  have  been 


newcomers  were  allowed  to  run  with  the  other  wild 
ones  on  Molokai.  I  have  never  hunted  deer  in 
Havaii.  About  three  yearB  ago  the  government 
officials  of  the  Republic  of  Hawaii  employed  two  deer 
hunters  at  $40  per  month,  who  came  from  California, 
to  slaughter  deer  on  Molokai,  as  it  was  thought  the 
noticed  occasionally  that  brant  and  other  wild    geese     animals  were  destructive   to  the  forestB — eating   the 


making  the  Hawaiian  Islands  their  home  nine  months 
of  the  year  the  Creator  only  knows.  Their  habits 
make  an  interesting  study  in  natural  history.  I    have 


come  with  these  migrants  when  they  return  in 
August,  this  circumstance  being  generally  a  certain 
indication  of  an  early  and  hard  winter  up  north.  I 
atn  very  glad  that  there  is  one  species  of  game  that 
the  mongoosecannot  molest,  for  these  birdsthat  bring 
their  young  from  over  the  sea  have  no  nesting  place 
here.  "As  rare  as  a  plover's  nest"  is  a  saying  in 
Hawaii  that  means  the  same  as  "as  rare  as  hens' 
teeth"  elsewhere.  The  web-footed  species,  the  spoon- 
bill, sprigtail  and  widgeon,  get  a  good  deal  of  their 
food  in  fresh  water  ponds  in  the  neighborhood  of  the 
seashore,  while  the  plover  eats  insects,  grass  and  grain 
in  the  fields.  Our  curlew  is  the  king  of  them  all  to 
the  man  with  a  gun.  It  has  a  bill  five  inches  long, 
with  which  it  digs  into  the  beach  for  its  food.  When 
the  whistling  call  of  this  bird  is  heard  by  the  sports- 
man a  thrill  of  excitement  comes  over  him,  for  this 
bird  is  a  rara  avis. 

I  recall  one  day  when  my  friend,  Mr.  Cunningham, 
first  went  shooting  on  this  island.  He  got  separated 
from  me  on  the  beach  and  I  heard  his  gun  banging 
away  l'ke  a  battery  Soon  I  joined  him  aDd  asked 
him  w  jat  he  had  been  doing.  "O,  I've  killed  a  lot  of 
these  thines, "  he  said,  and  he  showed  me  half  a  dozen 
iurle"r.    Then  I  had  the  satisfaction   of  telllDg  him, 


leaves  and  destroying  many  species  of  young  trees  and 
shrubs.  These  fellows  began  their  work  and  in  a 
short  time  bad  slain  over  4000  deer.  Otto  Myer,  who 
lives  on  Molokai,  it  is  ciaimed,  shoots  every  year  from 
1000  to  1400  deer  and  ships  the  skins  to  C.  Brewer  & 
Co.,  who  pay  him  40  cents  apiece  for  them. 

Wild  cattle,  pigs  and  goats  furnish  abundant  chances 
for  indulging  in  rough,  hard  sport  In  the  wilds  of 
the  islands  of  Hawaii  wild  cattle  are  plentiful,  and  on 
every  island  the  land  owners  are  very  glad  to  get  the 
pigs  and  goats  killed  off.  The  smaller  quadrupeds 
make  good  game  for  the  boys  to  practice  on. 

The  Hawaiian  Islands  are  the  habitat  of  two  kinds 
of  game  that  are  peculiarly  their  oivn,  being  found  in 
no  other  part  of  the  world.  Tbciy  are  the  Hawaiian 
goose  and  the  Hawaiian  teal  duck.  The  former  is 
found  only  in  the  wild  strawberry  belt  at  the  base  of 
Mauna  Loa  on  Hawaii,  where  it  feeds  on  strawberries 
and  ohelos.  It  is  a  handsome,  speckled  bird,  weigh- 
ing from  six  to  ten  pounds  and  very  symmetrically 
formed  in  body,  neck  and  head,  It  nests  on  the 
ground  and  is  so  unlike  the  ordinary  wild  goose  that 
one  can  approach  it  to  within  five  or  ten  yards  and 
shoot  it  with  a  revolver.  There  is  now  but  a  few 
hundred  left  of  what  was  in   ante-mongoose  days  an 


enormous  colony.  When  the  volcano  is  unusually 
active  they  have  the  peculiar  habit  of  flying  around 
the  crater.  I  have  shot  and  eaten  them,  the  flesh  and 
flavor  is  very  fine.  The  Hawaiian  teal  duck  is  very 
similar  to  its  webfooted  namesake  in  America,  this 
duck  feeds  here  in  fresh  water  only.  In  the  day  time 
it  will  rest  in  the  gulches  and  at  night  it  comes  down 
to  the  taro  and  rice  patches  for  its  food.  It  iB  eagerly 
hunted  by  all  sportsmen  and  is  becoming  scarcer  in 
all  parts  of  the  group  every  year. 

I  will  say  a  few  wordB  about  the  pretty  skylark  that 
is  seen  along  our  country  roads  and  then  I  am  finished. 
About  thirty  years  ago  I  bought  48  of  these  birds  for 
$24.  They  came  here  on  a  steamer  from  Australia.  I 
gave  them  theirliberty  in  the  Hawaiian  Hotel  grounds 
and  never  saw  a  feather  of  them  for  three  or  four 
years  afterward,  when  suddenly  they  appeared  all 
over  the  Island.  They  sing  like  meadowlarks  and 
are  distinctively  a  ground  bird.  No  one  thinks  of 
shooting  them  I  am  very  pleased  to  state. 

The  hunters  of  Honolulu,  that  is  the  active  ones 
who  are  out  for  game  every  season,  are  comparatively 
few  in  number,  considering  the  scope  we  have  for 
sport  Among  them  are  H.  M.  Whitney,  Jr.,  E.  I. 
Spalding,  George  Robinson,  Wilhelm  Lanz,  E.  H. 
Paris  E.  O.  White,  Mr.  Austin,  Mr.  Gares,  W.  M. 
Cunningham,  S.  G.  Wilder,  G.  P.  Wilder,  E.  R 
Adams,  E.  H.  Wodehouse,  E.  A.  Mclnerny,  Fred 
Whitney,  R.  Ivers,  S  E  Damon,  Wm.  Mutch,  C  B. 
Wilson,  C  P.  Iaukea,  W.  A.  Whiting,  Henry  Davis] 
J.  M.  Dowsett,  H.  J.  Burniston  and  myself  W.  C. 
Wilder  is  an  oldtime  sportsman  and  a  good  one, 
though  he  is  seldom  seen  in  the  field.  Kinney  Rawson, 
the  jeweller,  who  died  in  1876,  was  a  favorite  com- 
panion of  mine,  and  so  was  Mr.  Park,  a  carriage 
painter.  We  had  many  an  enjoyable  day's  shooting 
and  filled  many  a  bag  together. 


TRADE  NOTES. 


THE    HUNTER    ONE-TRIGGER    GUN. 

The  Hunter  Arms  Company,  of  Fulton,  N.  Y.,  have 
recently  issued  a  handsome  and  beautifully  illustrat  d 
booklet  descriptive  of  the  'Hunter  one-trigger  on  L. 
C.  Smith  guns."  This  pamphlet  is  worthy  the 
perusal  of  every  devotee  of  the  shotgun  and  can 
easily  be  procured  by  writing  request  to  the  above 
address. 

Among  the  merits  set  forth  for  the  Hunter  one- 
trigger  it  is  stated :  That  it  is  simple — onlyth.ee  im- 
portant parts,  and  each  part  is  large  and  strong.  It 
is  not  frictional  in  any  way;  the  action  is  positive  and 
will  work  every  time.  It  is  an  impossibility  to  double 
the  Hunter  nor  can  it  be  balked.  It  is  selective — you 
can,  at  your  pleasure,  shoot  right  and  left,  left  and 
right,  all  rights  or  all  lef'.s.  The  one-trigger  has  been 
completed  for  over  three  years.  It  has  been  rusted 
aod  gummed  up  and  it  has  been  abused,  "we  know  it 
1b  perfect. " 

It  is  also  in  line  to  state  here  that  the  L.  C.  Smith 
hammerless  guns  come  in  twenty  different  grades 
rangingin  price  from  $25  net  to  $740  list.  Each  grade 
is  made  with  an  automatic  ejector  and  the  Hunter 
one-trigger  can  be  placed  on  any  L.  C  Smith  gun, 
new  or  old.

THE   FARM. 


The  Value   of  Ground   Green  Bone. 


An  exchange  says  it  is  well  known  t.hat 
in  the  human  body  certain  chemical 
changes  take  place  which  entirely  trans- 
form certain  substances  and  rearrange 
the  chemical  elementB  in  these  substances 
until  they  become  entirely  different 
materials  to  be  used  in  the  anatomic 
economy  of  the  human  body.  To  illus- 
trate, the  potato  is  known  to  be  composed 
largely  of  starch.  This  Btarch  is  taken 
into  the  al  mentary  canal,  where  it  iB 
transformed  into  sugar,  the  sugar  into  fat, 
and  the  fat  used  to  fire  up  the  furnace 
that  keeps  the  body  warm. 

No  process,  however,  has  yet  been  dis- 
covered by  which  the  calcareous  matter 
that  forms  the  shell  of  an  egg  can  be 
manufactured  out  of  something  else.  It 
seems  that  it  must  be  furnished  to  the 
hen  that  is  to  lay  tne  egg,  in  a  soluble 
form,  but  whiih  is  still  composed  of  the 
constituent  atomic  matter  that  enters 
into  the  composition  of  an  eggshell. 

This  being  the  case,  it  is  but  reasonable 
and  sensible  to  conclude  that  the  proper 
thing  to  do  is  to  furnish  the  hen  the  cal- 
careous matter  in  the  moBt  available 
form,  in  order  that  it  may  be  converted 
into  eggshells  in  the  most  ready  and 
and  easiest  manner. 

Manifestly  there  is  no  way  in  which 
this  matter  can  be  furnished  to  the  her 
in  the  very  best  form  as  properly  as  in 
the  form  of  ground  or  crushed  bone  and 
such  bone  can  be  prepared  only  by  the 
use  of  bone  mills  manufactured  for  the 
special  purpose  of  grinding  and  crushing 
bone. 

It  is  as  reasonable  to  expect  the  farmer 
to  go  back  to  the  old  sickle  to  cut  a  40- 
acre  crop  of  wheat  as '  to  expect  the 
poultryman  to  get  the  best  results  by 
grabbing  up  a  piece  of  bone,  placing  it  on 
a  stone,  then  belaboring  it  with  a  hammer. 
The  result  in  both  cases  would  be  equally 
disastrous.  The  farmer  who  trieB  to  cut 
his  wheat  crop  with  a  sickle  will  be  likely 
to  take  a  sirloin  off  tne  lower  Bide  of  his 
hand,  and  the  poultry-raieer  who  tries  to 
manufacture  bone  meal  with  a  stone  and 
a  hammer  will  be  a3  likely  to  come  off 
with  a  howl  and  a  masbed  thumb  and 
four  fingers,  and  will  wiBh  that  be  had 
purchased  a  bone  mill  in  the  first  place. 

Bone  may  be  fed  either  in  the  form  of 
finely  ground  meal  or  it  may  be  crushed 
into  small  grits  and  fed  in  I  his  form.  In 
the  first  case  the  grinding  process  in  the 
gizzard  of  the  chicken  is  sooner  completed 
than  when  grits  or  small  particles  have 
to  be  ground  up  in  this  organ  ;  in   either

case  the  bone  passes  into  the  intestinal 
oenal,  where  it  is  transformed  into 
material  that  contributes  Dot  only  to 
creating  the  shell  of  the  egg,  but  which 
supplies  the  necessary  elements  for  the 
bones  of  the  fowl  which  constitute  the 
framework  upon  which  the  chicken 
structure  is  built. 

It  is  an  easy  matter  to  supplv  poultry 
with  ground  or  crushed  bone.  After  the 
bone  is  ground  or  crushed  it  can  be  placed 
in  any  kind  of  a  vessel,  from  which  it 
can  be  eaten  by  the  poultry  A  tin  can 
without  a  top  lid  can  be  nailed  to  the  side 
of  the  wall  and  in  this  a  quantity  of  bnce 
can  be  placed.  This  will  permit  the  fowls 
to  eat  what  thej  need,  whenever  they 
need  it,  and  it  will  be  found  that  they  will 
consume  a  great  deal  in  a  short  time 

The  chickens  will  consume  any  kiDd  of 
bone,  but  they  like  treen  bone  better 
than  that  which  is  dry.  The  phosphorus 
which  all  green  bone  contains  aids  very 
materially  in  supplying  thiB  very  essential 
material  of  which  feathers  are  partly 
composed. — Fruit  World. 


Buff  Color. 


Buff  color  is  a  prettv  difficult  thing  to 
define  in  words.  We  caD  get  samples  of 
the  color  on  paper  and  on  silk,  but  the 
real  buff  of  the  feathers  ia  indescribable 
when  seen  in  the  highest  state  of  perfec- 
tion that  nature  and  condition  have 
brought  about. 

Buff  is  neither  red  nor  a  yellow.  We 
say  this  because  there  seems  to  still  be  a 
divergence  of  opinion  on  this  point.  We 
have  seen  good  fanciers  lean  toward  the 
reddish  color  and  think  it  very  nice,  and 
again  have  seen  equally  good  fanciers  go 
wild  over  a  pale  yellow  color  The  stand- 
ard calls  for  a  golden  buff,  and  to  a  person 
who  is  not  color  blind  that  description 
should  fill  the  bill.  Years  ago  in  England 
and  in  this  country  we  had  orange  buff, 
lemon  buff  and  cinnamon  buff,  and  that 
is  why  there  is  such  a  mixture  in  some 
Cochin  strains  today.  The  golden  buff 
come3  verv  cloBe  to  being  the  orange  buft 
losing  a  trifle  of  the  reddish  sheen  ana 
gaining-  that  golden  lustre  so  desirable  in 
the  buff  fowl.  To  produce  such,  standard 
colors  must  prevail  in  both  male  and 
females  where  mated.  Extreme  matiDge 
will  produce  shafty,  ticked  and  mealy 
specimens.  The  first  person  to  adhere  to 
the  theory  of  mating  standard  birds  waB 
Gej.  G.  McCormick,  of  London,"_Canada 
Tuis  was  years  ago  and  we  do  not  remem 
ber  of  handling  a  moie  even  lot  ot  Buff 
Cochins  in  color  than  th<  se  shown  by  him 
some  eight  or  nine  years  ago. 

The  wonderful  success  in  breeding  for 
color  attained  by  Buff  Wyandotte  breeders 
in  the  past  three  years  is  due  to  the  fact 
that  extreme  matings  were  discarded  and 
even  colortd  buff  specimens  used.  The 
same  can  be  said  of  Buff  Plymouth  Rocks 
and  Buff  Leghorns  and  to  a  certain  ex- 
tent of  Buff  Cochins.  But  in  Buff  Cochin 
Bantams  we  Btill  find  too  many  red  males 
and  shafted  and  mealy  colored  females. 
A  true  buff  male  will  show  the  same 
sheen  and  color  in  hackle,  saddle  and 
wing  bow,  the  main  tail  featherB,  winge 
and  breasts  being  also  the  same  color, 
the  sickles  corresponding  closely  in  sheeD 
and  color  to  the  hackle  and  saddle  In 
the  female  all  sections  should  be  alike, 
and  even  buff  color  with  no  shafting,  the 
ODly  exception  being,  perhaps,  in  the 
hackle,  when  in  high  conditioned  speci- 
mens there  will  be  found  that  grand 
golden  lustre  bo  much  admired.  Under- 
color, although  a  trifle  lighter  buff.should 
never  be  over-looked  White  under-color 
and  especially  white  quills,  are  serious 
drawbacks  in  breeding  birds.  Black  or 
blue  cast  in  under-color  is  not  near  as 
Beriousadefectas  many  breeders  imagine 
One  of  the  best  breeding  birds  we  e\er 
saw  had  considerable  slate  in  ite  ui. de- 
color Suffic  it  to  pay  that  with  ptwi.dard 
matings  and  a  thorough  pedigree  system 
in  the  selection,  little  fear  need  be  en 
tertained  of  makirig  a  failure  in  produc- 
ing fine  specimens.     J   H.  Drevenshdt

into  which  for  twenty-fl  e  years  carriages  have  driven.  This  space  of  over  a  quarter 
of  an  acre  has  recently,  by  the  addition  of  very  handsome  furniture,  rugs,  chandeliers 
and  tropical  plants,  been  converted  into  a  lounging  room— the  FINEST  IN  THE

Lice  on  Hogs. 


When  pigs  seem  to  be  doing  poorly  con- 
•idering  the  amount  of  food  consumed  it 
is  a  good  plan  to  make  a  careful  examina- 
'  tion  for  lice.  Many  thriftless  pigs  though 
to  be  afflicted  with  some  insidious  disease 
or  to  be  infested  by  an  intestinal  parasitet 
are  really  free  from  these  troubles  bui, 
covered  with  lice  which  cause  sufficient 
irritation  to  prevent  growing  or  fattening, 
writes  A.  S.  Alexander  in  Farmer's  Be 
view.  Unless  one  is  accuBtumed  to  look 
for  lice  on  hogs  he  may  fail  to  find  them 
by  looking  upon  the  body  alone.  In  bad 
cases  the  parasites  may  be  found  every- 
where but  in  milder  cases  the  vermin  will 
be  found  under  the  the  ears,  in  wnnkleb 
about  the  head,  or  under  the  flank,  fore 
legs  or  hind  lege.  The  uug  louse  (Haema- 
topium  unuoj  has  a  large,  longateO,  oval

louse  Is  a  serious  nanaicap  to  growing 
pigs,  lor  wnen  Lney  are  present  in  large 
numbers  cney  liriiale  Lue  SKin  and  cause 
sucn  iLcning  cnat  the  animal  may  become 
very  poor. 

"UHon  we  find  brood  sows  infested  by 
lice  at  lime  01  parturition  and  tne  ver- 
min migrate  to  tne  pigB  and  K.eep  tnein 
from  tnriviug.  it-  is  important  that 
pregnant  sows  should  be  -rid  of  lice 
Deiore  farrowing  and  that  growiins 
pigs  should  be  lrecd  from  this  pest 
or,  better  Btill,  not  allowed  10  become 
iniested.  Tne  louse  is  not  difficult  to  lull 
and  tne  work  ol  destruction  ueeu  not  be 
expensive.  It  becomes  expensive  when 
kerosene  is  used  to  aestroy  nee  on  preg- 
nant sows  lor  this  agent  olten  produces 
abtomon.  Sonie  otner  effective  prepara- 
tion should  be  used  and  such  is  to  be 
found  in  the  list  of  tar  product  disinfec- 
tants or  dips  aavertisad  from  time  to 
time  in  our  columns.  They  are  better 
than  kerosene  emulsion, inexpensive,  non- 
poisonous  and  ready"  tor  use  by  Bimple 
admixture  of  water.  Tne  hogs  may  be 
sprinkled  with  a  solution  of  one  ol  these 
dipB,  dipped  in  it  or  scrubbed  lrom  heau 
to  foot  with  the  vermin-killer.  An 
ingenious  method  of  applying  kerosene  01 
other  lice  destroyer  is  quoted  by  the 
Indiana  State  Hoard  of  Agriculture  from 
whose  bulletin  on  such  subjectB  we  have 
taken  some  of  the  matter  01  this  article 
A  good  Bolid  oak  post  a  foot  or  a  foot  and 
a  naif  in  height  is  placed  in  position  in 
the  hog  lot.  One  hole  is  boied  in  the 
top  to  ibe  depth  of  about  eight  inches  and 
two  at  right  angles  from  the  sides  at  the 
bottom  of  the  vertical  hole.  Soft  pine 
pins  are  driven  into  the  Bide  holes.  The 
upright  hole  is  filled  with  kerosene  and 
stoppered.  Next  a  burlap  strip  eight  or 
ten  inches  wide  is  wrapped  around  the 
post  over  the  side  plugs  This  after  a 
time  becomes  soaked  with  kerosene  and 
the  pigs  will  rub  against  it  at  the  place 
where  it  will  do  the  most  good. 

When  pigs  only  a  few  weeks  old  have 
to  be  dipped  they  may  be  caught  and 
immersed  in  a  barrel  of  solution.  Old 
hogs  may  be  treated  la  a  sheep  dipping 
vat  sunk  in  the  ground  and  fitted  with 
a  false  bottom  so  that  it  will  not  be  over 
three  feet  in  depth.  Where  orude  petro- 
leum is  usad  the  vat  should  be  filled  with 
water  to  the  desired  depth  and  about  an 
inch  of  the  crude  oil  poured  on  top. 
The  hogs  may  then  be  driven  through 
and  a  thin  layer  of  oil  will  be  deposited 
on  every  point.  When  treating  hogs 
for  lice  It  is  well  to  scrub  the  woodwork 
thoroughly  with  a  hot  solution  of  coal 
tar  dip  and  then  whitewash  bo  as  to  r;et 
the  wash  into  every  crack  and  orevice. 
This  may  kill  some  Hoe  or  get  rid  of 
some  "nits."  It  will  at  least  make  the 
pens  sightly  and  sanitary,  and  strange 
to  say  lice  seldom  bother  hogs  that  are 
kept  in  pens  where  whitewash  Is  freely 
used  several  times  a  year.

GALL  CURE 

For  GALL  BACKS  and  SHOULDERS,  CRUPPE 
SORES  and  SADDLE  GALLS  there  is  non 
superior. 

The  horse  CAN  BE  WORKED  AS  USUAL 

For  BARBED  WIRE  CUT-.,  CALKS,  SCRATCH 
ES,  BLOOD  POISONED  SORES  and  ABRASIONS 
OF  THE  SKIN  it  has  no  equal. 

It  Is  very  adhesive  and  easily  applied  to  a  waterj 
as  well  as  a  dry  sore. 

Its  use  will  absolutely  prevent  BLOOD  POISON 
ING.  In  this  respect  there  is  no  Gall  Cure  offeree 
which  can  justly  even  claim  to  be  a  competitor 
We  placed  it  on  the  market  relying  wholly  on  its 
merit  for  success,  and  notwithstanding  the  fact  thai 
comparatively  little  has  been  done  in  the  way  of 
advertising  the  sales  of  1900  were  100  per  cent  great- 
er than  the  aggregate  sales  of  Gall  Cure  preceding 
that  year.  This  increase  was  entirely  due  to  its 
MERITS,  and  from  it  we  feel  justified  in  saying  thai 
it  is  THE  GALL  CURE  OF  THE  20TH  CENTU  RY 

It  is  a  quiok  and  sure  cure  for  those  troublesome 
skin  cracks  under  the  fe  -*ck  v.  nich  Injure  and  often

PEDIGREE: 


DILLCARA,  foaled 


1902 by SIDNEY  DILLON  23IS7 

First  dam,  GUYCARA  2:18f ...  .  by GUY  WILKES  2867  (2:154) 

Second  dam,  BISCARA by DIRrCTOR  2:17 

Third  dam,  BICARA by HaROLD 

Fourth  dam,  BELLE by MAMBRINO  CHIEF 

Fifth  dam,  BELLE  LUPE by BELLFOUNDER  (Brown's) 


The  above  darm  in  this  vouni  stallion's 
pedigree  are  ihe  choicest  The  first  dam  is  a 
young  brood  mare  with  a  record  oi  2:18-^;  the 
second  dam  is  the  dam  or  4  in  the  list  with 
recordsof  3:l*w,  2:18^,  2:24^  and  3:37,  respec- 
tively; the  'hird  dam  was  the  dam  of  5  with 
records,  2:21M.  2:2i?i,  2:26J4  etc.  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast,  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Ch  lef 
and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mia;  thefourihdam  wasthedam  if  MoCurdy's 
Hambietonian  2:26ya.  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire  Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood etc.  Hence  from  his  dams  have  come 
two  great  families— the  Beimoot-Nutwood 
aDd  the  Pancoast-Patr.  n-Patronage-Prodi- 
eal  families  Thodamof  the  site  and  the 
ciams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sirf  s  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  dam  of  Cupid  2:18,  who 
produced  we  1;  Lady  Bunfc»-r,  the  dam  of  Guy 
WHItes,  was  the  dfmof  Wm  L.,  sire  of  Axtel, 
and  El  Mahdl  2:25^  and  Dpo'aration,  who 
were  each  lap  sire  of  several  good  ones:  Dolly, 
tb*"  dam  of  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
9:25}£  and  Thorndale2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  colt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  holders.  They  have  also  produoed 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
level  headed  and  the  largest  money  winners 
in  the  trotting  world.  The  first  four  trace  in 
the  male  line  to  Hambietonian  10  through 
anoestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandslres.  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  six  crosses  of  Hambietonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  producing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  eaoh  of  whioh  goes  to  him  through 
dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 


Individually,  this  young  stalHon.  DILLCARA.  is  as  good  as  his  pedigree.  He  is  of  the  stout, 
blocfcy  type,  without  coarseness  and  he  is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  <.f  natural  speed  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  hand* of  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  phvsical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  raciDg  expecting 'hat  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney.  Director.  Direct  and 
Nutwood  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 

DILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Francisco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SKKVICE  FEE  »40

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 


IF    TOTJ    ARE.    READ    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  in  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks— a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five  year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  we  Imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  In  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  clean  in  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  black  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  Is  much  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  first-class  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  endurance.  We  have  quite  a  number  o:  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds.  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as ''fine  as  peaches,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  clean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  In  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  tho  brightest  prospeot  for  good  crops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  Improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  F.  Singmaster,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
Is  proud  to  say  we  havehad  extremely  good  success  In  making  sales.  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales,  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expect  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stockof  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  discount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

ONE  HUNDRED  AND  ONE  two-year-olds  have 
been  paid  up  on  in  the  Breeders  $6000  Futurity  for 
foals  of  1903.  These  two-year-olds  are  eligible  to  start 
in  the  trotting  and  pacing  divisions  of  the  stake  at 
the  Breeders  meeting  this  year,  and  while  but  a  small 
proportion  of  them  are  being  worked  for  these  races, 
the  chances  are  that  the  number  of  starters  will  be 
larger  than  last  year,  when  the  two-year-old  trot  had 
a  field  of  eight  and  the  two-year-old  pace  but  three. 
But  will  they  have  the  class  of  last  year's  two  year- 
olds?  Seldom  has  a  finer  lot  of  youngsters  been  seen 
on  any  track  than  those  which  contested  for  the  two- 
year-old  divisions  of  the  stake  in  1904.  In  the  pace 
were  the  three  fillies  Delilah  by  Zolock,  Mona  Wilkes 
by  Demonio  and  Roberta  by  Robert  I.  Delilah  won 
in  2:16£  the  fastest  mile  paced  in  the  United  States  by 
one  of  her  age  last  season.  Mona  Wilkes  took  a  record 
of  2:17  two  weeks  later  at  Santa  Rosa,  and  Roberta 
got  a  marks  of  2:19}  also  at  the  Santa  Rosa  meeting. 
In  the  trot  there  were  eight  as  fine  two-year-old 
trotters  as  one  would  wish  to  see  Bellemont,  a 
daughter  of  IZombro  won  the  race,  North  Star  by 
Nutwood  Wilkes  getting  a  heat  in  2:24  and  second 
money,  Ambush  by  Zolock  was  third  and  Athasham 
by  Athadon  fourth.  At  the  close  of  the  year  Belle- 
mont's  record  was  2:20},  North  Star's  2:24,  Ambush 
had  a  mark  of  2:20  and  Athasham  one  of  2:20.  Now 
these  were  a  very  high  class  lot  of  youngsters  and  il 
the  two-year-olds  of  1905  come  up  to  them  in  speed 
they  will  do  well.  There  are  a  lot  of  royally  bred  two. 
year-olds  in  the  list  of  101  eligibles  printed  this  week. 
Geo.  Beckers  has  paid  on  a  full  sister  to  his  great 
stallion  Zombro  2:11,  Martin  Carter  on  an  own  brother 
to  Bob  Ingersol  2:14},  Lou  Crellin's  entry  is  an  own 
sister  to  Owyho  2  09},  and  a  glance  over  the  names 
of  the  dams  of  those  eligible  will  show  such  mares 
represented  as  Lida  W.  2:18}, dam  of  Nutwood  Wilkes, 
Bertha  by  Alcantara,  dam  of  Don   Derby  2:04i,  etc.

USINESS  IS  GOOD  IN  THE  EAST  among  the 
harness  horse  breeders,  and  the  stallions  are 
being  patronized  to  a  greater  extent  than  for  ten 
years.  H.  T.  White  one  of  the  best  posted  of  the 
writers  on  harness  horse  affairs,  and  a  gentleman  who 
is  in  touch  with  all  the  leading  breeders  and  owners  of 
the  country  writes  as  follows  on  his  subject: 

"When  an  Indiana  man  paid  $9000  for  Sidney  Dillon 
at  auction  last  winter  the  fact  was  recognized  by  ob- 
servant horsemen  that  the  sire  of  the  world's  cham- 
pion trotter  had  been  secured  at  bargain  counter 
figures.  This  is  already  shown  to  be  so  by  the  an- 
nouncement that  the  stallion's  book  is  practically  full 
at  $150,  so  that  Sidney  Dillon  will  pretty  much  earn 
himself  out  in  his  first  eastern  season.  Prom  all  parts 
of  the  country  comes  the  news  that  never  before  were 
so  many  mares  bred  to  the  high  class  stallions  as  1905 
will  see.  McKinney,  at  a  $300  fee,  will  turn  away 
would-be  patrons  in  New  York  state,  and  at  Boston 
Bingen  will  have  more  than  he  can  do.  In  the  Ken- 
tucky blue  grass  region  all  the  noted  sires  are  pnspei  - 
ing  wonderfully,  and,  in  fact,  stallions  of  merit  every- 
where are  being  patronized  as  never  before.  John  A. 
McKerron  will  make  his  first  full  season  this  year! 
He  is  located  at  Litchfield,  O,  and  will  have  an  extra 
fine  lot  of  mares  on  his  book,  headed  by  the  ex- 
champion  Nancy  Hanks,  followed  by  the  one  time 
wagon  champion  Lucille,  and  four  or  five  other  fast 
mares  from  Mr.  Billings'  matiree  stable.  Critical 
people  in  such  matters  do  not  doubt  that  McKerron 
will  prove  a  great  sire,  and  he  should  certainly  be  of 
distinct  value  to  the  breeding  interest,  as  he  is  one  of 
the  best  ga'ted  trotters  that  ever  looked  through  a" 
bridle,  and  one  of  the  sort  to  whom  the  saying,  'He 
doesn't  know  how  to  make  a  break,'  will  truly  apply. 
The  first  colt  ever  sired  by  McKerron  was  sold  the 
other  day  for  $5000.  He  is  called  Harry  McKerron, 
is  four  years  old,  and  last  summer  I  saw  him  step  a 
half  mile  better  than  1:06  at  Cleveland  and  do  the 
trick  in  racehorse  fashion." 


-THE  BREEDING  OF  VENUS,  dam  of  Sidney 
'  Dillon,  Cupid  2:18,  Adonis  2:11  and  Lea  2:184,  is 
again  the  subject  of  considerable  discussion  in  the 
Eastern  journals  devoted  to  trotting  horse  in- 
terests. The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  desires  to 
say  that  it  is  in  possession  of  factB  that  will  in  its 
opinion  set  at  rest  forever  the  question  of  the  sire  of 
Venus,  and  will  say  that  the  evidence  shows  her  to 
have  been  sired  by  Capt.  Webster  beyond  any  doubt. 
The  gentleman  who  has  furnished  us  this  information 
has  all  the  papers  and  affidavits  that  will  be  printed 
in  this  paper  in  due  time  The  evidence  thus  far 
obtained  contains  statements  and  letters  from  persons 
who  owned  the  dam  of  Venus  before  and  after  the 
latter  was  bred,  and  there  is  a  chance  that  something 
more  may  be  learned  about  this  mare,  so  a  delay  of  a 
few  weeks  has  been  decided  upon  that  the  breeder  of 
Venus' dam  may  be  learned  if  possible.  If  nothing 
further  that  is  authentic  can  be  ascertained,  however 
then  the  facts  already  known  to  us  will  be  printed 
together  with  the  signed  statements  of  all  parties. 
Thej  will  make  most  interesting  readiDg  and  will  we 
think  set  at  rest  the  breeding,  on  the  sire's  side  at 
least,  of  one  of  the  greatest  of  broodmares  the  State 
of  California  has  produced. 


WHEN  Direct  Hal  2:04J  was  purchased  at  auction 
last  winter,  his  new  owDers  fixed  his  fee  for 
1905  at  $150,  and  advertised  that  the  five  best  mares 
booked  by  March  15th,  would  be  bred  free.  The 
selection  was  left  to  a  committee  of  prominent  horse- 
men and  breeders  and  the  five  mares  they  selected  out 
of  some  forty  or  fifty  booked  were  the  following: 

Ellen  M.  (dam  of  the  pacers  Fanny  Dillard  2:03}, 
and  Hal  B.  2:04J),  by  Blue  Boy,  son  of  Blue  Bull; 
second  dam  by  Blue  Bull, 

Jane  (dam  of  Angus  Pointer  2:04},  and  Annie 
Sprague  2:214),  by  Grant's  Hambletonian;  dam  by 
imported  Highlander. 

Fanny  Egthorne  2:27}  (dam  of  Morning  Star  2:04}), 
by  Egthorne  2:12};  dam  by  Magnetic. 

Ophelia  (dam  of  Strathline  2:071,  Blackline  2:22  and 
Dr.  S.  2:22J),  by  Strathmore;  first  dam  by  Smuggler. 

Maggie  Hernley  (dam  of  A.  J.  D.  2:09},  Maggie 
Anderson  2:09},  and  Andy  W.  2:17}),  by  Regalia;  dam 
by  Mambrino  Pilot. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  mare  heading  the  list  is  an 
inbred  Blue  Bull  mare,  which  to  those  who  are  always 
decrying  this  strain  of  blood,  will  doubtless  be  quite 
a  surprise.  But  Ellen  M.  has  "done  gone  and  done 
it"  better  than  any  other  mare  ever  did,  as  she  has 
produced  two  with  records  below  2:05,  a  world's  rec- 
ord. Until  some  mare  with  a  double  cross  of  different 
blood  than  that  of  the  Hero  of  Flat  Rock,  produces 


two  faster  and  gamer  race  horses  than  Fanny  Dillard 
2:03}  and  Hal  B.  2:04i,  the  enemies  of  Blue  Bull  should 
firmly  and  discreetly  hold  their  peace. 


"THE  MONEY  OWED  by  the  California  State  Board 
of  Agriculture  to  horsemen  and  all  oth»  rs  will  be 
paid  to  them  within  the  next  sixty  days.  The  money 
has  been  appropriated  by  the  State  to  pay  these  debts 
and  that  owing  the  horsemen  will  probably  be  avail- 
able sooner,  the  claims  only  having  to  be  passed  upon 
by  the  State  Board  of  Examiners  before  warrants  can 
be  drawn.  This  is  more  good  news  to  California 
horsemen,  and  it  looks  as  if  things  were  coming  their 
way  this  year.  If  last  year's  purses  are  all  paid  before 
entries  close  for  the  State  Fair  meeting  this  year,  the 
directors  can  look  for  one  of  the  biggest  entry  lists 
the  association  has  receiyed  for  some  time,  as  every 
horseman  in  the  State  will  then  be  out  boosting  for 
the  State  Fair  for  all  he  is  worth.  The  organiza 
tion  is  now  a  State  institution  in  a  different  sense  than 
before  existed,  and  all  believe  that  the  new  deal  will 
be  a  great  improvement  over  the  old. 


T-'HE  ENTRY  LISTS  will  be  good  this  year  in  Cali. 
'  fornia.  Evidence  of  this  is  the  entries  made  for 
the  stakes  advertised  by  the  Breeders  Association. 
The  date  of  closing  was  set  for  April  3d,  but  post- 
poned to  May  3d.  Many  at  a  distance  who  did  not 
hear  of  the  postponement  in  time,  sent  in  their  entries 
and  the  showing  made  leads  us  to  believe  that  every 
stake  advertised  by  the  Breeders  will  be  filled  when 
entries  close  May  1st. 


Answers  to  Correspondents. 

Wm.  Remke,  Woodland— The  mare  Josephine  4th 
by  Joquita  is  out  of  Cimerone  Girl  by  Legal  Tender, 
grandam  sister  to  Saturn  by  Alhambra.  She  is 
registered  in  the  American  Stud  Book  Joquita  and 
his  sire  Lucifer  by  Leamington  both  sired  winners, 
but  to  give  a  list  of  tbem  would  require  more  time 
than  can  be  devoted  to  answers  in  this  department. 


F.  Sealey,  Oroville— Beaumont  13937  is  by  Le 
Grande  2868,  dam  Oak  Grove  Belle  by  Arthurton  365, 
grandam  Henrietta  by  Bell  Alta,  son  of  Williamson's 
Belmont.  

William  Mead,  Santa  Maria— We  do  not  find  the 
stallion   Beta  registered  in  the  American  Stud  Book. 


W.  J.  East,  Fortuna— Jim  Mulvenna  2:27},  which 
we  presume  is  the  horse  you  mean  was  by  Nutwood 
600,  dam  Jane  McLane  (dam  also  of  the  pace- 
Peacock  2:23}),  by  Budd  Doble  3764,  grandam  the 
pacing  mare  Lady  Clinton,  pedigree  not  traced.  Jim 
Mulvenna  was  a  trotter,  and  was  bred  by  J.  P.  Sar- 
gent, Sargent's  Station,  Cal.  He  is  a  registered  horse 
and  his  number  is  3581.  We  can  find  no  record  of 
Lady  Mulverine 

A  Well  Bred  One. 


Danube,  the  green  trotter  bred  by  Capt.  J.  C  New- 
ton of  South  Pasadena,  that  recently  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  East  View  Farm  string  at  Pleasanton,  and 
worked  a  mile  in  2:13  is  not,  as  has  been  stated,  by 
Titus  brother  to  Direct,  but  is  by  Direcho,  a  son  of 
Direct.  Capt.  Newton  writes  us  that  Direcho  is  by 
Direct  out  of  a  mare  by  McKinney,  secoDd  dam  by 
Echo.  The  dam  of  Danube  is  Clara  W.  by  Director 
2:17,  second  dam  Belle  Echo  2:20  by  Echo,  third  dim 
the  Titus  mare  by  Williamson's  Belmont.  It  will  be 
noticed  that  Danube  has  a  top  and  bottom  cross  of 
Director  and  also  of  Echo,  in  addition  toa  cross  of  Mc. 
Kinney  and  a  foundation  of  Williamson's  Belmont 
blood.  Here  is  breeding  that  is  decidedly  "stout," 
and  Danube  gives  promise  of  being  everything  that 
his  pedigree  would  indicate. 


An  astonishing  condition  of  things  now  exists  in 
the  New  York  horse  market.  Prior  to  a  couple  of 
weeks  ago  stables  were  filled  to  the  doors  with  high 
class  material,  and  while  the  ice  king  held  the  city  in 
his  grip  there  was  next  to  nothing  doing.  Today  the 
capacity  of  the  local  horBe  trade  is  taxed  to  the  limit. 
The  finest  horses  are  being  eagerly  bought  up  by 
bankers,  brokers,  iron  and  steel  magnates  and  men 
prominent  in  all  sections  of  the  commercial  world, 
and  a  famine  is  imminent.  Prices  are  soaring  sky- 
ward as  the  supply  gets  shorter,  and  unless  the  great 
shippers  of  the  west  come  to  the  rescue  soon  the 
situation  for  buyers  as  well  as  traders  will  become 
awkward  tosay  the  least.  The  drain  upon  the  whole- 
sale concerns  has  been  very  severe,  and  the  retailers 
and  operators  in  the  auction  marts  are  taking  extra- 
ordinary measures  to  secure  their  quota  of  good 
material.  More  ready  money  is  afloat  in  New  York 
this  spring  for  generally  useful  horres  than  ever  be- 
fore, and  inquiries  from  people  who,  for  the  past 
couple  of  seasons  have  reduced  tbeir  stables,  are 
coming  in  so  fast  as  to  overwhelm   the  dealers  and 

auctioneers.

i  J°TTINGS- 


MORE  GOOD  NEWS  for  the  owners  of  trotters 
and  pacers  is  that  Woodland  is  getting  ready  to 
occupy  a  prominent  place  on  the  circuit  this  year, 
and  claims  the  week  before  the  State  Pair  for  its 
meeting.  As  the  Woodland  meeting  has  for  years 
been  one  of  the  most  popular  events  in  the  State  with 
horsemen  as  is  proven  by  the  big  entry  lists  and  the 
good  racing  which  has  always  been  the  rule  there, 
this  announcement  that  it  will  be  in  line  this  year 
will  be  received  with  great  satisfaction  by  all  con- 
cerned in  the  success  of  the  California  circuit  this 
year.  Although  the  District  Agricultural  Society 
will  not  give  a  fair,  owing  to  the  fact  that  no  appro- 
priation was  made  by  the  State  for  any  fairs  this 
year,  the  Woodland  people  want  a  race  meeting  and 
horse  fair  and  will  soon  raise  a  substantial  subscrip- 
tion to  aid  in  making  it  a  success  in  every  way.  Yolo 
county  has  become  one  of  the  leading  horse  breeding 
counties  of  the  State  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant horse  markets.  It  has  been  proposed  that  a 
parade  of  draft,  coach,  carriage  and  light  harness 
horses  be  held  during  the  meet.ng  and  prizes 
awarded,  which  will  be  a  great  feature  and  will  draw 
large  crowds.  Since  Ales  Brown  purchased  the 
Woodland  track  he  has  spent  a  large  sum  of  money 
in  improvements  and  it  is  now  one  of  the  best  ap- 
pointed tracks  in  California.  Last  month  the  entire 
infield  was  sown  in  alfalfa  which  is  now  coming  up 
nicely  and  when  the  meeting  is  held  in  August  a  field 
of  beautiful  green  will  greet  the  eyes  of  those  who 
occupy  seats  in  the  gnndstand  instead  of  the  glaring 
yellow  stubble  which  has  been  there  in  former  years. 
Superintendent  Spencer  has  had  the  track  much  im- 
proved, and,  while  it  has  always  been  a  fast  track,  the 
chances  are  that  it  will  have  its  record  broken  this . 
year. 

Ed.  R.  Smith,  who  did  the  starting  on  the  Cali- 
fornia circuit  last  year,  and  who  is  one  of  the  leading 
spirits  in  the  big  Los  Angeles  trotting  meeting  which 
will  open  the  circuit  this  year,  came  up  on  the  Owl 
last  Monday  night  for  a  few  days  stay  in  San  Fran- 
ciseo.  He  says  there  never  has  been  as  much  en- 
thusiasm manifested  over  a  future  event  as  is  now 
being  shown  by  the  Los  Angeles  people  over  the 
six  days  of  harness  racing.  He  says  the  big  sum  of 
money  that  has  already  been  subscribed  could  be 
doubled  were  it  necessary,  and  that  there  is  a  deter- 
mination everywhere  prevalent  among  the  southern 
horsemen  to  assist  in  making  the  biggest  harness 
racing  event  California  has  ever  seen.  Mr.  Smith 
relates  an  incident  that  occurred  at  the  track  the 
other  day  which  has  been  the  talk  there  ever  since. 
Will  Durfee  was  to  work  the  mare  Idylwild  2:17|  re- 
cently sold  to  Mr.  P.  S.  Gorton  of  Illinois  for  $6000, 
when  Mr.  Gorton  reached  the  track  and  asked  if  he 
could  not  drive  something  that  morning  Durfee  said 
"I  am  about  to  give  your  mare  a  couple  of  heats  and 
you  can  jog  her  a  warming  up  mile  in  about  2:50  if 
you  like."  Mr.  Gorton  assented  and  was  cautioned 
not  to  drive  her  faster  than  the  speed  mentioned  as 
she  had  not  been  a  mile  faster  than  2:40  this  season. 
Mr.  Gorton  mounted  the  sulky  and  went  to  the  half 
all  right  but  came  the  last  half  in  1:06$  and  the  last. 
quarter  in  32  seconds.  Durfee  was  greatly  surprised 
and  when  Mr.  Gorton  dismounted  asked  why  he  had 
driven  so  fast.  Mr.  G.  was  not  aware  that  he  had 
done  so  and  said  he  was  talking  her  back  all  the  way. 
The  horsemen  are  all  wondering  just  how  fast  Idyl- 
wild  could  have  come  that  last  half  had  Mr.  Gorton 
"talked  her  forward." 


San  Francisco  butchers  and  their  friends  are  scour- 
ing the  country  at  the  present  time  looking  for 
trotters  and  pacers  that  stand  a  chance  of  winning 
raceB  at  the  Oakland  track  on  Butchers  Day,  one  of 
the  big  annual  events  in  this  section  The  biggest 
crowd  seen  at  this  track  during  the  entire  year  is  the 
one  that  attends  the  celebration  of  the  Butchers 
Board  of  Trade  at  Emeryville,  and  not  only  is  the 
grand  stand  filled  to  its  capacity,  but  the  betting  ring 
and  the  paddock  are  both  so  crowded  that  one  has  to 
elbow  one's  way  when  passing  through.  The  racing 
program  continues  from  11:30  a.  m  until  sundown, 
and  a  half  dozen  harness  events  and  as  many  running 
races  are  decided,  while  three  or  four  bookmakers 
have  all  they  can  do  to  handle  the  money.  As  the  Oak- 
land track  is  a  dangerous  one  for  trotters  and  pacers, 
owing  to  the  ridge  through  the  center  constructed  to 
dra'n  it  through  the  winter,  few  horses  of  any  class 
are  ever  entered  in  the  harness  races,  but  once  in  a 
while  a  pretty  fair  horse  makes  his  racing  debut  there 
. afterwards  is  raced  on  the  circuit.  The  majority 
•hose  startiog,  howerer,  are  road  horses  and  old 
•ju   classed  campaigners.    The  racing  is  very  good, 


however,  and  there  is  more  fun  and  enthusiasm  than 
could  be  aroused  at  any  regular  meeting.  Butchers 
Day  will  be  held  during  the  month  of  May  this  year 
as  usual,  after  the  close  of  the  regular  running  season, 
and  as  I  remarked  at  the  opening  of  this  paragraph, 
the  country  is  being  searched  for  material  with  which 
to  win  the  different  events.  From  $250  to  $500  is  the 
amount  buyers  are  willing  to  give  for  a  pacer  or 
trotter  "that  can  do  2:20"  on  a  good  track,  as  that 
speed  is  considered  sufficient  to  win  with,  but  they 
find  that  the  demand  is  far  ahead  of  the  supply. 
Some  of  the  races  are  to  road  cart,  in  others  a  regula- 
tion butcher's  cart  is  required,  while  in  a  few  of  the 
events  the  very  latest  and  most  expensive  racing 
hitch  is  permitted.  Last  Butchers  Day  about  twenty 
thousand  people  attended  and  the  crowd  promises  to 
be  even  greater  this  year.  It  is  a  sight  worth  going 
to  see,  although  the  racing  is  not  up  to  Grand  Circuit 
calibre. 

If  some  plan  were  devised  by  which  trotting  and 
pacing  races  could  be  so  conditioned  that  the  horses 
which  have  reached  a  speed  limit  of  say  2:25  would 
have  a  chance  to  win  once  in  a  while,  it  would  be  a 
good  thing  for  all  concerned.  There  are  hundreds 
of  horses  that  can  trot  three  heats  in  2:25,  but  cannot 
beat  that  time  more  than  a  second,  that  would  be 
raced  every  year  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  tbey 
have  no  chance  on  earth  in  the  2:30  or  2:25  classes, 
because  the  fast  green  ones  are  starters  in  those 
classes  and  win  all  the  heats  in  better  than  2:20.  Hi 
Hogoboom,  the  Woodland  trainer  who  is  said  to  be 
the  originator  of  the  expression  "Speech  is  silver,  but 
silence  is  golden, "  has  been  advocating  condition  races 
or  selling  races  for  trotters,  for  several  years  past, 
but  thus  far  without  success  as  none  of  the  associa- 
tions have  been  enterprising  enough  to  offer  races  of 
that  character.  I  believe  Mr.  Hogoboom  is  entirely 
right  in  the  matter,  and  that  a  few  races  of  this  sort 
on  each  program  would  draw  large  entry  lists.  The 
fact  is  very  evident  that  when  a  trotter  has  reached 
2:20  speed  or  a  pacer  2:15  speed,  and  they  can  go  no 
faster  there  is  little  chance  for  them  to  race  and  get 
any  money  so  long  as  the  programs  are  made  up  of 
class  races.  The  good  green  ones  come  out  now  and 
trot  or  pace  so  fast  that  the  2:30  and  even  slower 
classes  are  won  in  2:15  or  better,  and  consequently  the 
horse  with  a  mark  of  2:20  that  cannot  beat  his  record 
three  times,  hasn't  even  a  chance  to  get  his  entry 
back.  Acting  on  Mr.  Hogoboom's  request  I  suggest 
the  following  to  associations  that  have  not  yet 
arranged  programs  for  1905,  believing  that  races 
given  under  the  conditions  stated  would  fill  well  and 
be  very  satisfactory: 

No.  1.  Selling  purse,  $500,  for  2:20  class  trotters; 
winner  to  be  sold  at  auction  immediately  after  the 
race.  To  be  started  at  the  owner's  bid  of  $500,  and 
all  money  paid  in  excess  of  this  figure  to  go  to  the 
association.  Winner  of  race  to  get  $300,  second  horse 
$150,  third  horse  $50.  Entrance  five  per  cent,  and 
five  per  cent  additional  from  winner  of  first  money 
only.     Mile  heats  best  two  in  three. 

No.  2.  Claiming  purse,  $300,  for  2:40  class  trotters; 
winner  to  be  started  at  owners  bid  of  $300,  and  all 
money  paid  in  excess  of  this  figure  to  go  to  association. 
Any  other  hors6  in  the  race  may  be  claimed  by  any- 
one for  $300  within  one  hour  after  the  race  by  making 
applioation  and  paying  money  to  Clerk  of  the  Course 
who  shall  pay  the  same  to  the  owner  of  the  l.orse. 
In  case  owner  refuses  to  accept  same  he  shall  be 
ruled  off. 

No.  3.  Trotting,  2:40  class,  $500;  for  horses  that 
have  started  but  never  been  inside  the  money  in  races 
where  heats  were  trotted  in  2:20  or  better.  Three 
moneys — 60,30  and  10  per  cent.  Five  per  cent  entrance. 
[Note.  This  race  is  conditioned  so  as  to  keep  out 
horses  that  have  been  winning  second  and  third 
money  in  fast  classes  without  getting  a  mark.] 

Nos.  4,  5,  and  6,  for  pacers  with  conditions  same  as 
Nos.  1,  2  and  3. 

The  above  are  offered  for  what  they  are  worth  and 
no  claim  is  made  that  they  will  do  more  than  furnish 
an  opportunity  for  the  slower  horses  to  be  started 
once  in  a  while  with  an  opportunity  of  getting  a 
portion  of  the  purse.  I  do  not  think  it  would  be 
advisable  to  have  more  than  four  such  races  at  any 
meeting  as  the  object  of  giving  purses  is  to  improve 
the  breed  of  horses,  and  the  fastest  among  them 
should  earn  the  most  money,  but  there  are  a  good 
many  owners  here  in  California  who  have  spent  lots 
of  money  in  breeding  and  training  horses,  and  who 
pay  out  a  great  deal  for  entrance  each  year  without 
being  able  to  get  any  of  it  back.  In  the  States  across 
the  mountains  there  are  hundreds  of  little  fairs  and 
race  meetings  where  trotters  that  cannot  beat  2:25 
and  pacers  that  are  hung  up  at  2:18  can  win  purses, 
but  here  in  California  we  have  but  one  circuit  and  a 
horse  that  cannot  beat  these  records  is  a  bill  of  ex- 
pense from  start  to  finish.  For  this  reason  I  think 
the  owners  of  the  slower  horses  should  be  catered  to 
a  little  that  they  may  get  a  little  sport,  if  nothing 
else,  out  of  the  game.  

"Blood  will  tell,"  and  although  every  well-bred  colt 
is  not  a  two-minute  horse,  there  has  never  yet  been  a 
champion   whose  pedigree  was  known   that  was  not 


well  bred,  and  when  one  appears  whose  breeding  is 
unknown  the  chances  are  ten  to  one  that,  if  we  could 
ascertain  the  pedigree  it  would  be  found  full  of  racing 
crosses.  Up  at  Pleasanton  last  Saturday  a  three- 
year  old  filly  by  Bonnie  Direct  2:05},  dam  Myrtle  2-13* 
(dam  of  Robizola  2:12})  bp  Anteeo  2:16J,  second  dam 
Luella  (dam  of  Prince  Nutwood  2.12*  and  Myrtle 
2:13J)  by  Nutwood,  third  dam  Ruth" Ann  by  Bell 
Alta,  etc.,  trotted  a  mile  in  2:22J,  the  last  half  in 
1:05*  and  the  last  quarter  in  32 S.  seconds.  This  filly 
belongs  to  Mr.  W.  H.  Lumsden  of  Santa  Rosa,  and  is 
entered  in  the  Breeders  Futurity  for  this  year  as  well 
as  in  several  of  the  big  stakes  over  East.  For  a  three- 
year-old  trotting  filly  to  show  such  speed  by  the  first 
of  April  is  remarkable,  but  when  her  breeding  is  con- 
sidered one  can  almost  say,  "I  expected  it  "  Bonnie 
Direct  got  his  mark  as  a  four-year-old.  was  Bired  by  a 
horse  that  was  a  world's  record  holder  and  that  sired 
the  champion  two-year-old  Directly  2:07a.  Myrtle 
the  dam  of  Mr.  Lumsden 's  fiily,  was  a  fast  colt  trotter 
and  broke  the  talent  when  she  beat  Vida  Wilkes  for 
the  Occident  Stake  in  1891  and  took  a  three-year-old 
record  of  2:I9J.  She  has  since  produced  Robizola 
2:12£  that  was  faster  than  her  record,  and  one  or  two 
others  that  will  be  in  the  free-for-all  class.  The  sen- 
sation caused  by  the  three-year-old  daughter  of 
Bonnie  Direct  trotting  a  half  in  1:05}  was  not  the  only 
thing  that  made  him  the  subject  of  considerable  talk 
among  horsemen  at  Pleasanton  last  Saturday,  as  a 
two-year-old  trotter  by  him  out  of  a  Steinway  mare 
showed  speed  enough  in  her  work  the  same  day  to 
start  predictions  that  it  would  be  as  fast  as  the  three- 
year-old  filly.  This,  two-year-old  was  given  two  heats, 
the  first  in  2:46,  last  half  in  1:16  and  last  quarter  in 
36  seconds,  the  next  in  2:41  with  the  last  of  the  mile 
practically  the  same  as  the  other.  This  two-year-old 
was  bred  and  is  owned  by  Mr.  C.  L.  Griffith,  owner  of 
Bonnie  Direct.  Although  there  was  never  a  cleaner 
gaited  pacer  than  this  stallion,  nearly  all  his  get  are 
natural  trotters  and  have  the  inclination  to  stick  to 
that  gait  no  matter  how  much  they  are  urged.  He  is 
one  of  the  coming  great  sires  of  California. 

A  piece  of  bad  luck  has  happened  to  Mr.  R.  P.  M. 
Greeley,  one  of  Oakland's  leading  business  men,  who" 
started  a  few  years  ago  trying  to  breed  a  stake  win- 
ner. He  owns  the  fast  pacing  mare  Winnie  Wilkes 
2:17}  by  Mambrino  Wilkes  and  bred  her  to  Diablo 
2:09},  pacing.  One  would  naturally  expect  a  pacer 
from  this  mating,  but  the  result  was  a  trotting  filly 
that  is  now  five  years  old  and  can  show  close  to  two- 
minute  speed.  He  then  bred  Winnie  to  McKinney 
2:11}  and  got  a  black  filly  that  is  one  of  the  sweetest 
gaited  of  pacers  and  a  very  handsome  two-year-old. 
The  next  mating  of  the  mare  was  with  Searchlight 
2:03}  and  a  colt  resulted  that  paced  before  it  walked' 
and  was  most  promising.  It  was  entered  in  the 
Breeders  Futurity  for  foals  of  1904,  but  contracted 
distemper  a  few  weeks  ago  and  died  last  Monday;  and 
Mr.  Greeley  received  word  ihis  week  from  Pleasan- 
ton that  Hester  Diablo,  the  trotting  mare,  was  also  ill. 
Mr.  Greeley  deserves  better  luck  than  this  as  there  is 
no  person  in  California  who  loves  a  horse  more  It  Is 
to  be  hoped  that  no  further  casualties  will  occur  in 
his  small  but  select  string  of  fast  ones. 


It  seems  to  me  that  the  only  way  in  which  the  pedi- 
gree of  Lou  Milton's  dam  can  be  traced  is  by  the  pro- 
cess of  elimination.  There  were  many  mares  owned 
by  the  late  William  C.  Ralston,  and  from  all  reports 
quite  a  number  of  them  were  chestnuts.  In  my  short 
experience  as  a  searcher  after  the  mare's  pedigree,  I 
found  three  or  four  persons  who  claimed  to  know  all 
about  the  mare  Fly,  but  when  closely  questioned  they 
only  had  hearsay  evidence  to  offer  Only  one  person, 
my  old  friend  Green  Thompson,  of  Santa  Rosa  fur- 
nished me  any  evidence  that  was  worth  printing  and 
that  was  to  the  effect  that  he  owned  Fly  at  the  time 
of  her  death,  and  had  no  knowledge  of  her  pedigree. 
He  bought  the  mare  with  several  other  horses  from 
John  Mendenhall  of  Lake  county,  who  told  him  she 
was  in  foal  at  the  time  to  bis  horse  Milton  Medium, 
and  particularly  requested  him  to  take  good  care  of 
the  foal  when  it  appeared.  Mr.  Thompson  stated 
that  Mendenhall  told  him  he  got  the  mare  from  Kim- 
ball of  the  Kimball  Carriage  Mfg.  Co.,  who  had  her 
from  Ralston,  the  banker.  This  was  all  he  knew  of 
the  mare,  except  she  was  a  chestnut  with  strip  in  the 
face  and  one  hind  ankle  white,  but  which  ankle  he 
did  not  know.  Now,  Mr.  Taylor,  of  San  Jose,  desig- 
nates one  Ralston  mare  as  Fly  and  Sam  Gamble 
designates  another.  Mr.  Taylor  traces  his  mare  to  Ral- 
ston but  no  further.  Mr.  Gamble  traces  his  mare  from 
Ralston  to  Kimball,  and  says  the  latter  owned  her 
but  two  weeks,  but  does  not  state  what  became  of  her 
then.  Now,  the  only  way  to  arrive  at  anything  defi- 
nite is  to  ascertain  all  the  chestnut  marefe  that  Kim- 
ball and  Ralston  owned  and  trace  them  to  their  death 
or  their  present  whereabouts.  By  this  means  all  the 
mares  that  are  not  the  dam  of  Lou  Milton  might  be 
eliminated  from  consideration  and  the  actual  identity 
of  her  made  easier.

Fresno  Gossip. 

Peesno,  April  4 — Fresno  has  not  had  the  good 
fortune  to  have  a  race  meeting  since  1902  and  it  might 
ba  said  that  the  interest  generally  taken  In  the  trotter 
and  pacer  here  has  been  pretty  dull  for  the  past  two 
or  three  years.  The  old  fever  seems  to  have  returned 
this  spring  however,  the  business  promises  to  flourish 
again  and  the  old  standbys  are  making  an  earnest 
effort  for  a  big  meeting  in  July.  The  fair  grounds  and 
track  are  now  the  property  of  Fresno  county.  The 
track  is  being  worked  regularly  and  is  in  fiDe  trim 
and  there  is  no  doubt  that  with  the  proper  effort  a 
week  of  racing  in  Fresno  would  be  a  success.  Some- 
thing definite  in  regard  to  a  meeting  will  be  made 
known  in  a  week  or  two.  There  is  only  a  small  num- 
ber of  real  live  horsemen  here  but  what  they  lack  in 
quantity  they  make  up  in  quality  and  will  be  heard 
from  later.  There  are  about  fifty  horses  in  training 
here  at  present  but  a  number  of  others  are  expected 
in  a  day  or  so. 

W.  H.  Middleton  has  quite  a  string  in  training  and 
several  of  them  are  workinglike  they  willdo.  Nothing 
in  the  stable  has  been  asked  to  step  along  much  ye4 
but  everything  is  in  good  shape  and  will  be  given 
some  stiff  work  from  now  on.  He  has  Queen  Pomona 
a  four-year-old  pacing  mare  by  Pomona  out  of  Nugget 
by  Nutwood,  and  Dan  S.  a  promising  three-year-old 
gelding  by  Athablo  out  of  Daybreak,  both  owned  by 
L.  Stock,  Fresno;  NannaC.  a  handsome  two-year-old 
filly  by  Strathway, dam  by  Magister  and  Bicycle  Maid 
a  three-year-old  sister  to  her,  owned  by  Joe  Arcalion; 
Edison  Wilkes  (4)  by  Selma  Wilkes;  Chas.  McBride's 
pacing  mire  Belle  by  Richard's  Elector.dam  by  Grand 
Moor;  J.  R.  Goodwin's  brown  mare  Lady  by  Mam- 
brino  Chief  Jr.,  and  a  six-year-old  pacing  gelding 
owned  by  U.  R.  Cook,  Fresno. 

Joe  Depoister  is  training  four  green  ones  at  present 
among  the  most  promising  of  which  is  the  three-year- 
old  chestnut  colt  Guy  by  Guy  McKinney  out  of  a  mare 
by  Dexter  Prince.  He  also  has  Happy  a  four-year-old 
black  stallion  by  Sidney  Arnett;  Milton  Gear,  a  pacer 
by  Harry  Gear,  dam  Lulu  N.  by  Dawn  and  a  three- 
year-old  bay  filly  by  Athadon  out  of  a  Junio  mare. 

Charley  Clark  has  a  suable  full  of  green  trotters  two 
of  which  he  likes  especially  well.  The  first  is  a  four- 
year-old  bay  filly  by  the  Clark  horse,  son  of  Athadon, 
out  of  the  dam  of  Cuckoo  2:13  that  is  an  exceedingly 
nice  gaited  filly  and  has  shown  2:10  speed.  The  other 
is  a  three-year-old  filly  by  Athaneer,  out  of  a  mare  by 
Junio  that  knows  nothing  but  trot  and  has  shown 
eighths  at  a  2:08  gait.  Both  are  owned  by  Graham  E. 
Babcock.  Other  good  ones  in  the  lot  are  a  four-year 
old  gelding  owned  by  C.  A.  Swietzer,  that  has  shown 
a  nice  turn  of  speed;  a  three-year-old  stallion  by 
Strathway,  dam  by  El  Capitan;  and  some  youngsters 
by  Strathway  and  Sidney  Arnet. 

Schuyler  Walton  is  pretty  busy  all  the  time  with  a 
big  string  of  green  ones  with  one  exception  and  that 
is  the  three-year-old  trotting  stallion  Athasbam  (2) 
2:20  by  Athadon.  2:27  out  of  Flora  Wickersham  by 
Junio,  owned  by  Geo.  S.  Warlow.  This  youngster 
has  broadened  out  and  deyeloped  into  a  grand  look- 
ing three-year-old  and  great  things  are  expected  of 
him  this  year.  In  the  Walton  outfit  is  the  most 
promising  green  pacer  at  the  track  and  she  is  called 
Madona  by  Athadon,  out  of  Nugget  by  Nutwood. 
This  mare  was  worked  last  fall  and  showed  an  easy 
mile  in  2:15  with  quarters  in  30  seconds  and  those  who 
have  seen  her  work  this  spring  say  she  is  a  2:06  mare. 
She  is  owned  by  J.  M.  McKay  of  Fresno  Others  in 
the  string  that  are  worth  mentioning  are  Tennahica, 
a  two-year-old  bay  filly  by  Athablo;  Bobby  J.  by 
Senator  L.,  dam  Nelly  J.  by  George  J.;  Teddy  J.,  full 
brother  to  the  above;  a  three-year-old  black  pacer  by 
Howard  St.  Clair  and  several  green  ones  by  Strath- 
way and  Athadon. 

A.  J.  Hudson,  Secretary  of  the  old  racing  associa- 
tion here  and  one  of  the  most  popular  young  horse- 
men, has  a  very  promisin  r  green  one  that  he  recently 
sent  up  to  John  Quinn  at  Pleasanton, 

D.  W.  Cutler  owns  the  good  old  race  mare  Kate 
Ewing  2:17  and  will  breed  her  to  Athadon  this  year. 
He  also  owns  her  two-year-old  by  Arthurton  and  a 
suckling  by  Athablo  and  thinks  they  will  some  day 
earn  their  oats. 

The  successful  race  horse  and  sire  Diablo  2:09}  is 
Btanding  at  the  track  in  charge  of  P.  W.  Strong  and 
is  having  a  good  season.  He  looks  strong  and  rugged, 
is  in  the  best  of  fettle  and  will  undoubtedly  be  ap- 
preciated here. 

Mr.  Geo.  L.  Warlow  is  one  of  the  leaders  among  the 
horsemen  here  both  in  regard  to  the  number  of  horses 
he  owns  and  his  ability  to  hustle  for  the  welfare  of  the 
local  interests  of  the  breeders.  He  owns  Athadon, 
that  once  held  the  yearling  trotting  record  of  2:27 
and  haB  since  developed  into  a  very  successful  sire; 
Athablo  2:24J  a  nice  looking  big  stallion  by.  Diablo 
2:09}  out  of  the  famous  old  mare  Athalie,  dam  of 
Athanio  2:09J,  Athio  2:141  and  others  and   has  been 


doing  a  big  business  in  the  stud  with  both  of  these 
ho'ses.  One  of  the  finest  youngsters  by  McKinney  I 
ever  saw  is  Mr.  Warlow's  two  year-old  colt  Stanford 
McKinney  out  of  the  Palo  Alto  mare  Avena,  and  if 
no  ill  luck  befalls  him  he  will  surely  make  a  name  for 
himself  He  is  a  well  made,  smoothly  turned  black 
colt  without  any  flaws  in  his  make  up  and  is  one  of 
the  nicest  gaited  little  fellow  you  ever  saw.  He  has 
never  been  trained,  of  course,  but  seems  to  have  been 
born  "a  trotter"  and  can  show  a  2:30  gait  with  ease. 
Mr.  Warlow  also  owns  the  high  class  three-year-old 
Athasham  mentioned  above  (2)  2:20,  several  likely 
youngsters  and  a  small  band  of  good  broodmares  from 
which  he  expects  to  raise  some  trotters  worth  taking 
to  the  races.  B.  S.  McMahan. 

Good  Racing  in  Arizona. 

Phoenix,  Arizona,  March  28,  1605. 
The  postponed  St.  Patrick's  ma. inee  of  the  Phoenix 
Driving  Club  came  off  on  the  28th  with  the  largest 
crowd  of  the  season.  There  were  five  races  on  the 
program  and  all  filled  satisfactory  and  every  race  a 
close  contest  with  remarkable  fast  time  for  this  season 
of  the  year.  Our  track  record  was  broken,  also  two 
territorial  records.    Boydello  2:14J  owned   by   Hotel 


BYSTANDER  2:13J  BY  ZOLOCK 

Adams  Farm  reduced  the  Arizona  trotting  record 
from  2:20}  to  2:17i,  Bystander  by  Zolock  2:09}  owned 
and  driven  by  J.  K.  Wheat  stepped  the  two  fastest 
miles  ever  paced  over  an  Arizona  track,  Lillian 
Zolcek,  three-year-old,  owned  by  A.  H.  Davidson,  the 
popular  horseshoer,  and  driven  by  C.  E.  Mickens  also 
reduced  the  territorial  record  for  three-year-old 
pacers  to  2:24. 

The  first  race  was  won  easily  by  Hartwood  a  son  of 
Ashwood.  Race  No.  2  was  an  easy  victory  for  Billy 
A.  with  King  Clerc  close  up.  Race  No.  3  was  the 
star  raceof  the  day  as  the  horses  wereevenly  matched. 
Two  were  grandsons  of  the  great  McKinney  and  the 
other  a  son  of  Sidney  Dillon.  In  the  first  heat  Custer 
drew  the  pole  but  got  rather  a  poor  start,  Bystander 
took  the  lead  immediately  with  Arizona  lapped  on

The  fourth  race  for  green  trotters  was  a  contest  all 
the  way.  Arizona  Bess,  the  favorite  in  this  race  win- 
ning the  tirst  heat  in  2:26J.  The  next  two  heats  were 
won  by  Lobeneere.  This  horse  has  only  been  in  Mr. 
Mickene'  stable  a  short  time  and  this  was  the  first  fast 
work  given  to  him  by  Mr.  Mickens.  His  fastest  mile 
before  this  race  was  2:32  but  Mr.  Mickens  landed  him

coming  the  last  half  in  1:10  and  the  last  quarter 
in  thirty-three  seconds,  finishitg  at  a  2:08  clip.  If

Racing  at  San  Diego. 

Wallace  &  Adams  gave  an  afternoon  of  racing  at 
the  Sweetwater  track  at  San  Diego  on  Saturday, 
March  25th,  which  was  a  success.  The  San  Diego 
Sim  says  that  although  the  weather  was  disappoint- 
ing, a  large  number  attended  and  everything  was 
pulled  off  in  fine  shape.  The  management  has  gone 
to  considerable  expense  in  widening  out  the  track 
and  refilling  the  places  that  had  been  washed  out  by 
the  recent  rains  and  the  track  was  in  fine'  shape  with 
the  exception  of  being  a  little  slippery  from  the 
drizzling  rain. 

Now  that  the  rainy  season  is  about  over,  the 
management  promises  to  give  matinees  oftener  than 
heretofore  and  a  good  card  may  be  looked  lor  a 
little  later. 

The  first  race  called  was  the  2:35  trot,  and  the  three 
trotters  started:  Mary  Chimes,  owned  and  driven  by 
C.  T.  Chadwick;  Andrew  Jackson,  owned  and  driven 
by  C  T.  Chadwick;  Andrew  Jackson,  owned  and 
driven  by  Thomas  Broadnax;  and  Dorothy  Welbern, 
owned  and  driven  by  Warren  Chadwick 

Andrew  Jackson  won  in  two  straight  heats  in  2:34| 
and  2:30.  The  track  was  very  slippery  from  the  rain 
or  the  winner  would  have  trotted  in  2:25. 

The  three-minute  trot  was  declared  off  on  account 
of  the  condition  of  the  track. 

A  meeting  of  the  San  Diego  Horsemen'  association 
was  held  to  make  further  plans  for  the  race  meet 
which  is  to  be  held  at  Coronado  race  track  on  May  30, 
in  the  afternoon.  The  order  of  the  programme  has 
not  been  decided  upon  yet,  but  there  will  be  enough 
to  fill  in  a  big  afternoon.  On  the  programme  will  be 
found  the  following: 

2:40  trot — Best  three  in  five,  for  a  purse  of  $100, 
divided  into  $60  and  $40. 

Green  pace — Best  three  in  five,  for  a  purse  of  $100, 
divided  into  $60  and  $40. 

Gentlemen's  driving  pace— Best  two  in  three,  for 
two  prizes;  first,  a  stop  watch  valued  at  $50;  second, 
a  fine  single  harnesB. 

Pony  race — J-mile,  $50  to  the  winner. 

Running  race— i-mile,  $50  to"  the  winner. 

Entries  are  to  close  on  May  15th,  and  all  entries  are 
to  be  of  horses  owned  in  San  Diego  county  only. 


The  Morgan  Blood. 

An  old  retired  horse  breeder  who  had  great  ex- 
perience with  horse  breeding,  maintains  that  the 
Morgan  blood  properly  mingled  with  the  Hamble- 
tonian  made  the  best  medium  weight  general  purpose 
horse  he  ever  knew.  In  a  contribution  to  the  Horse 
World  he  says:  "Having  bred  the  beBt  trotters,  I 
never  got  as  good  results  as  when  I  mingled  the  hot 
blood  of  True  Briton  (Justin  Morgan)  with  Hamble- 
tonian  10  as  sireB.  This  nick  gives  style,spirit, courage, 
disposition  and  always  speed.  I  am  retired  and  look 
back  in  retrospection  with  interest,  sympathy,  etc  , 
when  I  observe  inexperienced  breeders  lookiDg  for 
general  financial  results  (and  that's  all  there  is  to  the 
problem)  realizing  "lunk  heads"  as  a  dividend.  A 
smart  (?)  young  breeder  seeking  extreme  speed  for- 
gets that  the  Creator  long  ago  determined  that  the 
swallow,  for  flight, had  no  rival  in  the  turkey  buzzard. 
So  let  him  reflect  that  Maud  S.,  Lou  Dilloo,  Nancy 
Hawks,  etc.,  overcame  distance  without  "pounding" 
out  vitality  in  combatting  the  resistence  of  the 
elements,  with  865  to  950  pounds,  season  after  season, 
while  the  1050-pound  fellows  soon  got  out  of  business. 
With  a  Morgan  dam  you  will  surely  get, if  not  extreme 
speed,  your  stud  fee  and  your  money  back.  As  for 
high  action  without  knee  knocking,  show  me  the 
Morgan  superior.  Justin  Morgan  had  the  variety  of 
hot  blood  infusion  that  produced  the  best  when 
crossed  as  indicated.

dale is  a  fast  horse,  but  this  climate  did  not  agree 
with  him  last  year,  as  he  came  over  from  California 
early  and  was  not  acclimated.  He  has  been  jogged 
all  winter  and  should  be  good  now. — Sportsman. 

The  State  Agricultural  Society  will  purchase  from 
Sacramento  county  a  ten-acre  strip  of  land  adjoining 
the  new  State  Fair  Grounds,  the  same  being  necessary 
to  make  room  for  the  mile  track  and  necessary  build- 
ings It  is  thought  the  track  can  be  completed  by 
August  1st,  which  will  give  a  whole  month  for  it  to 
settle  and  put  in  shape  for  the  races  to  begin  Sept.  2d. 
Horsemen  all  over  prediot  that  it  will  be  a  much 
faBter  and  better  track  than  the  old  one. 

At  Nice,  France,  Feb.  16,  the  Prix  d'Amerique,  of 
f6000  (about  $1200),  was  won  by  the  ten-year-old 
Faisan  III.,  who  took  the  first  and  third  heats  in 
2:44  4-5  and  2:45.  Woodcourt,  twelve  years,  won  the 
second  heat  in  2:44 — the  distance  being  about  1  1-5 
mileB.  Faisan  III  was  bred  in  France,  but  sired  by 
the  ex-American  Cash  2:26}.  Woodcourt  is  American- 
bred  and  by  Pawnee  2:26J.  Belle  Kuser  2:08  won 
third  money,  being  3-2  in  the  last  two  heats. 

Mr  Geo.  A  Warlow,  of  Fresno,  owner  of  the  two- 
year-old  colt  Stanford  McKinney  by  McKinney,  dam 
Avena,  says  he  may  not  race  him  this  year,  but  if  he 
does,  Dr.  Tuttle,  of  Washington,  will  have  to  go  some 
to  beat  him  with  the  Zombro  filly  he  said  he  woul  o. 
beat  Mr.  Warlow's  colt  with.  Mr.  Warlow  says  he 
really  thinks  Stanford  McKinney  is  the  fastest  and 
b~st  gaited  two-year-old  he  ever  owned  and  he  has 
had  a  few  pretty  good  ones  as  the  records  show. 


The  fact  that  the  State  Fair  will  open  on  Saturday, 
Sept.  2d,  will  probably  lead  to  the  previous  days  in 
that  week  being  unclaimed  by  any  association,  as  in 
California  Saturday  is  considered  one  of  the  best  days, 
the  largest  gate  receipts  being  obtainable  on  that  day. 

From  present  appearances  four  or  fiye  two-year-old 
trotters  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  will  enter  the  standard 
list  this  year,  if  they  are  raced,  in  addition  to  a  half- 
dozen  three  and  four  year  olds  that  can  beat  2:25 
already.  There  seems  to  be  better  than  2:30  speed  in 
every  foal  by  the  sire  of  John  A.  McKerron  2:04|. 


As  was  stated  last  week,  by  request  of  nearly  all  the 
owners  and  trainers  in  California,  the  stakes  for  the 
Breeders  meeting  have  been  reopened  to  close  May  1st. 
At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  held  Thursday 
afternoon  the  2:18  class  trot  was  changed  to  a  2:17 
class  trot,  which  was  also  done  at  the  request  of  a 
number  of  owners. 

It  is  not  every  pacer  or  trotter  that  is  offered  for 
sale  that  is  worth  the  price  asked,  but  the  mare 
Bridal  Rose,  owned  by  Peter  Fryatt  of  Woodland, 
and  for  which  he  asks  $1000,  is  "the  goods. "  Sheis 
by  Falrose  and  is  five  years  old,  stands  164  hands  high 
and  weighs  1200  pounds.  She  has  worked  a  mile  in 
2:24,  last  quarter  in  32  seconds— a  2:08  gait.  She  did 
this  as  a  three-year-old.  Bridal  Rose  is  a  beauty,  is 
well  bred  and  will  be  a  2:08  pacer  in  the  right  hands. 

Payne  J.  Shatter  was  down  from  Olema  this  week 
reports  that  his  two-year-old  trotter  by  Monterey 
2:09},  dam  Lady  Fallis  by  Rafael  (son  of  Fallis  and 
Stockton  Maid  by  Chieftain)  second  dam  the  great 
broodmare  Pastime,  dam  of  Secret  2:26}  by  Rustic,  is 
doing  well  and  now  stands  very  close  to  fifteen  hands 
high.  Mr.  Shatter  expects  this  two-year-old  to  fol- 
low in  the  footsteps  of  its  illustrious  ancestors,  but  to 
keep  ahead  of  tbe  dust  kicked  up  by  everything  else. 


We  have  always  been  told  that  when  a  horse  falls 
down  the  proper  thing  to  keep  him  from  kicking  is  to 
sit  on  his  head,  but  in  one  of  the  London  courts  the 
other  day  a  judge,  of  the  name  of  Addison,  condemned 
that  as  a  very  foolish  proceeding  and  said  the  proper 
thing  to  do  when  a  horse  is  down  is  to  take  hold  of 
his  ear  and  keep  his  nose  up  in  the  air.  He  said:  "A 
horse  cannot  kick  when  his  nose  is  in  the  air;  I  have 
Been  a  lady  keep  a  horse  quiet  that  way  without  soil- 
ing her  gloves. "  

Secretary  Horace  Wilson  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  has 
arranged  the  following  list  of  early  closing  events  for 
his  October  meeting:  Transylvania,  $5000,  for  2:12 
trotters;  to  be  named  Sept.  11  McDowell.  $3000,  for 
2:09  trotters.  Tennessee,  $3000,  ror  2:08  pacers; 
starters  to  be  named  Sept.  11.  Walnut  Hall  Cup' 
$3000,  for  2:15  trotters.  Stoll,  $2000,  for  2:19  trotters, 
Johnston,  $2000,  for  2:24  trotters.  West,  $2000,  for 
2:19  trotters.  Kentucky,  $2000,  for  three-year-old 
trotters.  Lexington,  $2000  for  two-year-old  trotters. 
Wilson,  $2000,  for  2:20  pacers. 

A  real  old-fashioned  sweepstakes  is  proposed  on 
behalf  of  the  cracks  of  the  Philadelphia  brigade. 
Walter  S.  Hine  and  William  Hughes  are  willing  to  be 
one  each  of  Bix  Belmonters  to  put  up  $500  each  for  a 
race  between  Antezella  2:104  by  Anteeo,  Marion 
Wilkes  2:08}  by  Hawthorne  Wilkes,  Dan  T.  2:07}  by 
Crawford,  Wilque  2:09|  by  Queecby,  Wentworth  2:08 
by  Superior  and  Francis  B.  2:104  by  Alcamedia.  Con- 
ditions to  be  mutually  agreed  upoD,  with  the  excep- 
tion that  the  money  be  divided  60,  30  and  10  per  cent. 
Gate  receipts  to  go  for  the  benefit  of  Belmont  Club. 


Mr.  Abe  Straus  has  the  proud  distinction  of  being 
the  oldest  dealer  in  the  ranks  who  ships  fine  coachprs 
to  New  York.  He  is  the  dean  of  the  fraternity.  He 
is  a  Vermonter  and  always  tells  with  great  reli6h  a 
little  story  at  the  expense  of  his  Kentucky  competi- 
tors. He  went  down  to  that  State  and  picked  up  a 
likely  pair;  be  brought  them  up  to  Lexington  where 
they  were  looked  over  carefully  by  three  or  four 
buyers,  one  of  whom  took  them  on  a  two  weeks'  trial 
at  $400.  They  were  rejected,  Abe  drove  them 
around  on  a  buying  tour,  gave  a  little  extra  attention 
to  their  toilet,  came  back  and  sold  them  to  the  same 
man  for  $1500.  Thus  Vermont  got  even  with  Ken- 
tucky.   

Many  of  the  leading  breeding  farms  in  the  East 
work  their  colts  on  a  half  mile  track,  the  owners  be- 
lieving that  a  good  half  mile  is  better  than  a  poor  full 
one.  An  Eastern  journal  says:  "William  Simpson, 
millionaire  broker  of  New  York  and  proprietor  of  the 
Empire  City  Farm,  eight  miles  from  Cuba,  has  pur- 
chased the  George  H.  Eldridge  farm  of  100  acres  just 
outside  the  village  corporation.  Mr.  Simpson  is  a 
breeder  of  fast  horses  and  owns  the  famous  trotting 
stallion  McKinney,  which  he  purchased  for  $50,000  last 
fall.  The  farm  is  a  desirable  property  for  Mr.  Simpson, 
as  he  intends  to  lay  out  a  one-half  mile  track  on  it 
and  erect  suitable  buildings.  McKinney  will  be 
brought  here.  Fred  Simpson,  son  of  the  new  owner, 
liveB  here  and  will  take  charge." 


It  is  impossible  to  disassociate  the  feeding  and  diges- 
tion of  horses  from  the  question  of  their  teeth,  as 
beyond  all  doubt  many  animals  Buffer  greatly  from 
dental  troubles  and  lose  both  health  and  strength 
therefrom  It  is  to  be  recommended,  therefore,  that 
if  a  horse  goes  off  his  feed,  and  no  sufficient  reason  can 
be  produced,  his  mowth  should  be  tbe  subject  of  a 
careful  examination  by  somebody  who  is  competent  to 
undertake  the  duty.  Even  in  the  case  of  horses  where 
there  is  no  suspicion  that  there  is  anything  wrong 
with  the  teeth,  a  periodical  inspection  will  frequently 
reveal  tbe  fact  that  attention  is  required,  and  a  very 
simple  operation  at  such  a  time  will  obviate  much 
suffering  and  trouble  later  on.  As  a  consequence  it 
may  be  repeated  that  habitual  neglect  of  the  condition 
of  his  horse's  mouth  is  a  rather  serious  sin  of  omission 
on  the  part  of  the  owner.

With  the  Old  Campaigner. 


[Kentucky  Stock  Farm.] 
"I  notice  that  the  secretaries  are  offering  purses 
governed  by  new  and  novel  conditions  this  spring, " 
said  t be  Amateur  as  be  finished  reading  the  last  ad- 
vertisement in  the  turf  paper  he  had  snatched  from 
the  hands  of  the  postman  before  any  one  else  had  a 
chance  at  it.  "For  my  part  I  am  pleased  with  such 
evidence  of  progress.  It  looks  as  if  we  might  be  able 
to  finally  adopt  something  in  the  way  of  a  racing  sys- 
tem that  will  be  satisfactory  to  all  concerned." 

"Perhaps,"  said  the  Old  Campaigner.  "And  again, 
perhaps  not.  Maybe  they  will  keep  on  until  they  get 
a  system,  and  the  necessary  conditions,  that  will  re- 
quire that  every  nominator  hire  a  lawyer  to  interpret 
them.  Ben  Kenney says  he  has  seen  some  conditions 
already  this  year  that  have  about  run  him  to  the  law 
shop,  and  t  guess  there  are  others.  However,  I  agree 
with  you  that  we  are  making  some  progress,  and  it 
pleases  me  to  know  that  tbere  are  not  nearly  so  many 
people  now  as  there  were  ten  years  ago  who  believe 
that  the  only  way  to  race  trotters  and  pacers  is  to 
start  a  contest  on  Monday  and  get  through  with  it  by 
Saturday  night,  if  possible.  That  ancient  system  is 
responsible  for  a  whole  raft  of  fool  things.  Under  its 
reign  has  grown  up  the  protracted  scoring  which  we 
all  love  so  well  that  not  a  tear  would  be  shed  if  the 
authorities  adopted  and  enforced  a  rule  requiring  the 
starter  to  say  'go'  the  first  time  down.  It  is  responsi- 
ble for  the  delays  which  causa  the  starting  judge  to 
say  to  the  audience:  'We  crave  your  indulgence  for  a 
few  moments;  one  of  the  starters  in  this  race  ha6  a 
broken  boot.'  It  has  made  quite  respectable  that  vio- 
lation of  the  rule  which  is  known  as  laying  up  or  going 
easy  heats.  It  has  brought  all  kinds  of  woe  to  the 
trainer  and  has  made  cripples  out  of  thousands  of 
horses  because  they  could  not  stand  the  long  and 
gruelling  preparation.  But  it  has  done  some  good, 
for  it  has  brought  a  host  of  prominent  trainers  around 
to  the  belief  that  short,  snappy  racing  is  best  for  all 
concerned,  especially  horses.  Geers,  Benyon,  Hudson 
and  Kenney,  a  quartette  that  will  do  to  tie  to,  say  that 
the  two-in-three  plan  is.  good  enough  for  them. 
Which  is  something  important,  for  every  one  of  the 
four  was  as  successful  as  could  be  when  the  only  sys- 
tem of  racing  was  the  one  under  which  a  race  might 
be  over  in  three  heats  and  could  run  to  a  dozen. 

Hudson  told  me  the  other  day  that  if  all  the  track 
managers  would  adopt  a  short  system  of  racing  the 
horses  could  not  only  be  made  ready  much  earlier,  but 
would  last  clearthrough  the  season,  whereas,  Bhapicg 
them  up  for  long  races  puts  them  out  of  it  early  in 
the  game  and  quite  frequently  fixed  them  so  that  they 
can  not  get  back  the  same  year  But  that's  all  been 
threshed  over  until  the  flail  is  worn  out  and  while  it 
has  done  some  good  it  don't  appear  to  have  done  quite 
enough.  Tne  boys  will  all  be  out  for  the  money  this 
year,  just  the  same  as  they  have  been  in  the  past,  and 
nothing  the  tracks  can  do  will  be  bad  enough  to  keep 
them  at-home.  If  ever  there  was  an  example  of  keep- 
ing everlastingly  at  it  the  trotting  horse  trainers  and 
owners  have  furnished  it.  Sometimes  I  think  they 
must  like  it,  and  sometimes   I   find    myself  trying  to 


figure  out  whether  it  is  just  a  disease  that  men  get 
and  can't  get  rid  of.  Guess  it's  due  to  some  sort  of 
microbe  that  the  scientists  have  never  yet  found  a 
way  to  kill.  And  if  I  had  my  way  I  would  oppose 
the  killing.  There  is  something  refreshing  and  en- 
couraging in  the  way  the  trotting  horsetrainer  buckles 
down  to  his  work  every  spring  and  tries,  and  tries, 
and  tries,  with  material  that  may  shoot  the  chutes 
any  old  day  with  a  new  brand  of  lameness  or  no-ac. 
countness  that  can't  be  cured.  No  matter  how  tough 
his  luck  may  be  this  year,  the  first  chirp  of  the  robin 
next  spring  will  awaken  him  to  the  duties  of  the  oc 
casion  and  cause  him  to  hubtle  a  few  old,  or  young, 
hides  together  and  begin  to  hunt  up  the  best  shipping 
route  to  the  first  town  in  the  circuit.  Every  winter 
the  owner  scrapes  around  for  new  horses,  the  hope 
ever  uppermost  that  out  of  the  scraping  will  come  one 
to  turn  out  a  real  crack-a-jack. 

And  after  all,  while  there  is  precious  little  business 
to  the  horse  business,  it's  no  worse  in  its  results  than 
are  a  whole  host  of  things  that  are  called  real 
business.  You  win  and  they  all  talk  about  your 
ability  and  horse  sense.  You  lose  and  a  few  will  knock 
but  a  whole  host  will  dig  up  enough  excuses  to  keep 
you  in  the  humor  to  try  again.  Scott  McCoy  fays  it's 
a  rich  man's  game,  and  Scott  is  right.  But  every 
game  and  every  business  is  for  the  rich  man,  these 
days.  All  there  is  in  anything  for  a  poor  man  is  to 
hustle.  If  every  man  in  the  horse  business  was  a  rich 
man  ( I  mean  every  owner)  I'd  rather  be  a  trotting 
horse  trainer  than  anything  else  I  know  of.  The 
trouble  is  that  too  many  men  become  horse  owners  on 
limited  capital.  Which,  also,  can  be  said  of  grocery 
stores,  drug  stores,  hotels  and  what  not.  But  in  some 
way  or  other,  the  trotting  horse  boys  manage  to  keep 
the  financial  sun  shining.  They  race  to  any  system 
the  track  managers  hand  up;  they  pay  the  entrance 
fee  demanded,  no  matter  how  great  the  burden;  they 
get  a  big  stoek  of  disgust  on  hand  every  racing  season 
and  get  sick  enough  of  their  calling  to  feel  like  hiring 
out  a*,  section  hands,  but  the  gentle  spring  time  finds 
them  at  it  again,  with  all  the  vigor  and  rainbow  chas. 
ing  of  youth.  So  I  guess  the  rest  of  us  needn't  worry 
whether  they  race  dashes,  limited  heats  or  the  all- 
week  system.  You  can't  keep  the  microbe  from  work- 
ing, and  reports  from  the  big  training  tracks  indicate 
that  he  has  a  strangle  hold  on  as  many  of  the  boys  as 
ever  he  had."  _ 

Took  Halt  a  Horse  by  Force. 

Pleasanton,  April  5.— <A  constable  from  this 
place,  armed  with  a  warrant  for  the  arrest  of  Charles 
Newman,  the  San  Franeisco  hotel  man,  left  here 
shortly  before  noon  today  in  pursuit  of  Newman,  and 
the  peace  officer's  orders  are  not  to  return  without 
his  prisoner.  The  warrant  which  is  sworn  to  by  Al 
McDonald,  a  prominent  horseman  and  trainer,  is  for 
breaking  and  entering.  Another  warrant,  for  assault 
with  a  deadly  weapon,  will  be  sworn  to  as  soon  as 
Newman  is  apprehended. 

Some  time  ago  Newman  brought  a  promising- 
looking  colt  to  McDonald  and,  it  was  alleged,  offered 
the  latter  a   half  interest  in  the  animal  if  he  would 


care  for  and  train  it.  McDonald  agreed  to  this 
arrangement,  and  brought  the  colt  to  a  condition 
where  it  has  recently  been  exhibiting  remarkable 
speed.  Today,  aocording  to  the  complainant,  New- 
man came  to  McDonald's  place,  broke  into  the  box 
stall  containing  the  colt,  held  a  stableman  at  bay  at 
the  point  of  a  revolver  and  departed  in  the  direction 
of  Oakland  with  the  animal  in  tow. 

Newman  reached  here  a  few  minutes  after  10  o'clock 
this  morning  and  immediately  sought  out  McDonald. 
He  had  a  short  conversation  with  the  veteran  trainer 
and  asked  him  what  he  thought  of  the  colt.  Mc- 
Donald told  him  of  the  fast  workouts  the  animal  had 
been  given  and  Newman  seemed  greatly  pleased.  Mc- 
Donald bad  to  leave  to  attend  to  some  business  at  the 
track,  but  Newman  remained  in  the  neighborhood, 
accompanied  by  a  man  unknown  here,  who  was  with 
him  when  he  drove  into  Pleasanton. 

As  soon  as  McDonald  was  out  of  sight  Newman  pro- 
ceeded to  the  stable,  which  was  open,  and  tried  to 
enter  the  stall  containing  the  colt,  which  was  locked. 
A  stableman  asked  him  what  he  wanted  and  Newman 
said  he  was  going  to  take  the  colt  away  with  him. 
The  stableman  told  him  he  couldn't  do  anything  of 
the  sort  without  authority  from  McDonald.  Newman 
thereupon  drew  a  revolver  and  held  the  stableman  at 
bay  while  he  and  his  companion  broke  into  the  stall 
and  led  out  the  colt.  Still  keeping  the  revolver 
pointed  at  the  stableman,  Newman  climbed  into  his 
wagon  with  his  companion,  and  with  the  colt  trailing 
at  the  end  of  a  halter,  started  off  in  the  direction  cf 
Oakland. 

When  McDonald  returned  and  learned  what  had 
been  done  he  was  furious  and  promptly  swore  out  the 
warrant  referred  to  and  had  a  constable  sent  after 
Newman. 

Don't  Be  a  Knocker. 


If  your  neighbor  is  prosperous,  let  him  prosper. 
Don't  grunt,  growl,  or  grumble.  Say  a  £Ood  word 
for  him  and  let  it  go  at  that.  Don't  be  a  knocker. 
Your  turn  will  come.  No  one  man  is  the  whole  show. 
If  'you  see  the  town  is  moving  aloDg  nicely,  feel  good 
about  it.  Help  things  along.  Shove  a  little  Push. 
Try  and  get  some  of  the  benefit  yourself.  Don't  stand 
around  like  a  chilly  old  cadaver.  Don't  waste  your 
time  feeling  sore  because  some  fellow  has  a  little  more 
sand  and  sense  than  you  have.  Do  a  little  hustling 
yourself.     Don't  be  a  knocker. 

If  you  can  say  a  good  word,  say  it  like  a  prince  If 
you  are  full  of  bile  and  disposed  to  say  something 
mean,  keep  your  mouth  shut.  Don't  be  a  knocker.  No 
man  ever  made  a  dollar  knocking.  No  man  ever  got 
rich  or  happy  minding  everybody's  business  but  bis 
own.  No  man  ever  helped  himself  up  permanently  by 
knocking  his  neighbors  down.  Give  up  a  kind  word. 
Give  it  liberally.  It  won't  cost  you  a  cent,  and  \oj 
may  want  one  yourself  some  day.  You  may  have 
thousands  today  and  next  year  be  without  the  price 
of  a  shave.  So  don't  be  a  knocker.  You  can't  afford 
it.  It  wont  pay.  There's  nothing  in  it.  If  you  want 
to  throw  something  at  somebody,  throw  cologne  Or 
roses.  Don't  throw  brickbats,  or  mud  Don't  be  a 
knocker.  If  you  must  kick,  go  around  behind  the 
barn  and  take  a  good  kick  at  yourself  For  if  vou 
feel  that  way,  you're  the  man  that  needs  kicking 
But,  whatever  you  do,  don't  be  a  knocker. — American 
Sportsman.

Presidental  Tastes  in  Horses. 


Not  the  least  of  President  Roosevelt's  vote-getting 
assets,  says  J.  B.  Sheridan.in  the  Horse  Show  Monthly, 
is  his  thorough  horsemanship.  His  love  of  the  horse 
has  won  him  many  thousand  votes  in  these  United 
States.  Though  he  has  heen  publicized  chiefly  as  a 
Rough  Rider  the  President  is  an  all-around  horseman. 
His  years  of  residence  on  western  ranges  have  led 
many  people  to  imagine  that  he  is  solely  a  Rough 
Rider.  Many  gentlemen  of  fine  taste  in  horses  have 
counted  the  President's  pretention  to  horsemanship 
and  set  him  down  in  riding  ability  as  a  third-rate 
broncho  buster.  Nothing  could  be  far. her  from  the 
proper  truth.  As  a  matter  of  fact  Theodore  Roosevelt 
was  a  crack  polo  player  when  a  Harvard  student,  long 
before  his  ranching  days.  Now  he  bas  a  moBt  catholic 
taste  in  horses  While  his  favorite  mount  is  properly 
that  animal  closest  to  what  is  known  as  the  "war 
horse, "  the  hunter,  he  bas  also  a  nice  taste  in  the 
American  gaited  saddle  horse,  the  walk,  trot  and 
canter  horse,  the  roadster  and  the  heavy  harness 
animal.  Furthermore,  Mr.  Rjoseveltis  at  the  bottom 
of  the  present  Government  enterprise  of  establishing 
an  American  breed  of  carriage  horses.  By  making 
this  departure  on  his  own  initiative  it  may  be  said  that 
the  President  is  not  only  the  first  citizen  and  first 
gentleman  of  these  United  States,  but  also  the  first 
horseman. 

In  his  love  and  use  of  horses  the  President 
resembles  Washington  to  a  greater  extent  than  any 
other  successor  of  the  great  Virginian.  Washington 
was  the  great  horseman  of  his  day.  Like  Mr.  Roose- 
velt he  leaned  toward  the  hunter  and  very  naturally 
the  war  horse,  which  in  the  highest  sense  is  hunter- 
bred.  The  Father  of  his  Country  had  a  hunter  stud 
of  his  own  at  Mount  Vernon  and  fox  hunting  was  his 
great  pastime.  Washington's  horses  were  nearly 
thoroughbred,  as  they  enjoyed  Lhe  fine  blood  which 
came  from  England  to  the  Dominion.  He  often  rode 
from  Mount  Vernon  to  Philadelphia,  three  hundred 
miles,  in  forty  hours,  over  the  worst  kind  of  roads. 
It  was  while  on  one  of  these  trips  that  he  visited  the 
house  of  Martha  Custis,  who  afterward  became  his 
wi  e.  President  Adams  was  a  fine  horseman,  but  a 
dignified  one  and  rode  the  New  England  palfrey  com- 
mon to  the  day.  Like  Washington  and  all  Virginians, 
Jefferson  was  a  splendid  rider;  he  had  a  very  keen 
taste  in  horses.  His  fancy,  of  course,  lying  to  the 
gaited  saddle  horse.  Monroe,  also  had  the  same 
tastes  in  horses,  but  preferred  driving  to  riding. 
John  Quincy  Adams  was  often  seen  on  horseback, 
using  a  palfrey.  Andrew  Jackson  was  really  the  only 
"race  horse"  President  the  United  States  has  known. 
Old  Hickory  was  a  "sport"  of  the  first  water.  In 
his  early  Tennessee  days,  when  cock  fighting  and 
horse  racing  took  up  most  of  his  time,  Jackson  was 
one  of  the  greatest  riders  in  America.  Owning  a  stud 
of  thoroughbreds  he  always  rode  one,  and  no  country 
was  too  rough  for  his  breakneck  gallop.  As  a  wild 
horseman  Jackson  stands  in  a  class  by  himself  among 
the  Presidents  of  the  United  States.  In  many  ways 
President  Roosevelt's  inauguration  brought  to  Wash- 
ington the  same  class  of  people  which  Jackson's 
inauguration  brought  there  in  thousands.  Frontiers- 
men, backwoodsmen  and  Indian  fighters  swarmed  to 
the  Capital  to  see  Old  Hickory  take  the  oath.  Rough 
riders,  plainsmen,  cattlemen,  trappers  and  woodsmen 
were  in  Washington  by  the  thousands  to  see  the 
former  Wyoming  ranchman  inaugurated.  Jackson 
had  a  splendid  taste  in  harness  horses  and  his  four 
famous  iron  greys  were  known  wherever  he  went. 
For  the  inauguration  of  hiB  successor,  Van  Buren, 
Jackson  had  a  strange  carriage  built  from  the  tim- 
bers oi  the  frigate  Constitution.  The  wood  was  un- 
painted,  but  highly  polished,  had  one  seat  to  fit  two 
people  and  a  box  for  the  driver.  Jackson's  grays 
were  hitched  to  this  carriage  when  Van  Buren  was 
inaugurated. 

William  Henry  Harrison  led  hie  inaugural  parade 
on  a  white  Arabian,  as  became  a  soldier.  Harrison, 
like  Jackson,  Washington  and  Roosevelt,  loved  a 
horse  that  had  a  deal  of  thoroughbred  in  him. 
President  Polk  was  a  dignified  equestrian  who  loved 
the  gaited  saddle  horse.  Zacbary  Taylor  was  very 
fond  of  gray  horses.  Frankl'n  Pierce  had  no  particu- 
lar tastes  in  this  way.  Lincoln  could  ride  after  a 
fashion,  but  was  so  tall  and  so  awkward  that  he  rarely 
appeared  on  horseback.  General  Grant  was  fond  of 
horses,  who  were  like  himself,  sturdy,  stolid,  and 
slow-moving,  but  obstinate  and  resolute;  his  favorite 
war  horses  were  docile,  cart-bred  animals,  and  he 
much  preferred  driving  in  a  carriage  to  riding  at  any 
time,  though  it  is  said  that  his  West  Point  education 
made  him  a  very  capable  horseman. 

F  utherford  B   Hayes  was  absolutely   without  taste 

in  horses  as  was  James  A.  Garfield,  though   in  early 

lif  >  his  taste  for  the  mules  of  the  tow-paths  were  after- 

v  .rds  a  useful  political  asset.    Chester  A.   Arthur 

intalned  a  handsome  stable  of  carriage  horses  in 


Washington,  impelled  thereunto,  it  is  said,  by  the  ex- 
ample of  Attorney  General  Brewster,  who  had  one  of 
the  finest  stables  and  coach  houses  Washington  bas 
ever  seen.  Grover  Cleveland  would  have  needed  an 
elephant  if  he  had  wanted  a  saddle  horse,  and  was 
personally  not  a  horseman,  though,  as  became  a  York 
State  man,  a  great  admirer  of  trotters  in  the  abstract. 
President  McKinley  could  neither  ride  nor  drive,  but 
he  bad  a  woman's  taste  in  horses.  He  loved  them  for 
their  beauty  and  what  ladies  called  "sweetness, "  but 
had  no  idea  of  handling  them  or  making  them  vehicles 
of  pleasure  or  utility.  President  McKinley  was  a 
great  admirer  of  the  gaited  saddle  horse,  not  for  his 
gaits,  but  for  his  beauty.  The  beautiful  heads  of 
Randolph  Huntington's  Clay  Arabs  so  caught  his 
fancy  that  he  gave  $7000  for  a  pair  of  them.  They 
were  pretty, about  the  head  and  eyes,  though  decidedly 
lacking  in  harness  horse  conformation,  pleased  the 
gentle  eye  of  the  dead  Chief  Magistrate  and  he  gave 
an  enormous  price  for  them. 

President  Roosevelt  has  all  of  the  educated  breeder, 
show  horseman,  speedway  driver,  cross-country  rider 
and  soldier's  knowledge  of  what  horses  should  be.  No 
preceding  President  had  anything  like  the  wide 
knowledge  of  horses.  The  Presidents  from  Washing- 
ton down  to  Jackson  were  all  soldiers,  fox -hunters  or 
country  gentlemen.  A  type  of  horse  resembling  the 
hunter  was  their  favorite;  that  was  about  the  only 
horse  they  knew  or  had  any  particular  use  for.  But 
President  Roosevelt  is  different.  He  knows  the  points 
and  breeding  and  usages  of  every  horse  from  the 
Shetland  to  the  Clydesdale.  The  President's  favorite 
mount  is  the  hunter  Bleistein.  This  animal  isqualified 
in  the  National  Hunt  Club  Association,  a  bay  horse, 
16.1  in  height,  black  points  and  quite  up  to  carrying 
the  President's  two  hundred  pounds  over  five  feet 
six  of  solid  timber.  Bleistein  has  never  been  known 
to  stumble  or  fall  and  the  Executive's  life  is  as  safe  on 
his  back  as  it  is  in  the  rocking  chair  in  the  White 
House.  Another  hunter,  Renown,  is  a  brown  horse, 
16  hands  high, and  quite  as  good  a  jumper  asBleistein. 
Renown  is  the  horse  which  the  President  was  riding 
in  that  equestrian  picture  jumping  over  a  fence,  so 
familiar  to  American  newspaper  readers.  Last  month 
President  Roosevelt  took  Renown  and  Bleistein  to 
join  the  Brandy  wine  Hunt  and  cnased  foxes  over  the 
Mils  where  the  Colonials  chased  the  British  some  one 
hundred  and  twenty  years  ago. 

The  citizens  of  Wyoming  recently  presented  the 
President  with  a  chestnut  horse  called  after  the  State 
from  whence  he  came.  In  Wyoming  they  call  him  a 
saddle  horse.  Among  horsemen  of  the  East  he  would 
be  called  a  mere  horse  with  hunter  qualifications.  He 
is  neither  a  gaited  nor  walk-trot  horse,  but  is  really  a 
range  animal  who  can  canter  like  a  cayuse.  The 
President  likes  to  ride  Wyoming  and  uses  the  range 
saddle  on  him,  whereas  on  his  hunteis  be  uses  the 
orthodox  English  saddle.  The  President  looks  very 
well  in  the  cowboy  saddle;  he  presents  a  splendid 
appearance  on  horseback,  but  is  a  little  too  stout  to 
be  called  a  graceful  equestian.  However,  he  knows 
how  to  ride,  either  on  the  boulevard  with  a  gaited 
saddler,  on  the  road  with  the  range  horse  Wyom  ns, 
in  the  park  with  his  walk- trot  ana  canter  horse,  or 
across  country  with  his  hunters:  he  has  the  correct 
seat,  hands  and  motions  for  horses  of  each  description. 
On  his  rides  about  Washington  the  President  is 
attended  by  Con  McDermott,  a  cavalryman.  With 
all  due  respect  to  his  Excellency,  he  is  not  the  grace- 
ful figure  on  horseback  that  his  soldier  attendant  is. 
McDermott  is  the  beau  ideal  cavalryman.  He  rides 
with  the  straight  body  and  long  stirrup  of  the  United 
States  soldier  and  is  simply  part  of  his  horse.  He  has 
all  the  daring  of  the  Irish  foxhunter,  though  his  busi- 
ness is  simply  to  follow  the  President.  It  is  rather 
an  amusing  thing  to  see  President  Roosevelt  start  on 
a  cross  country  gallop.  In  addition  to  McDermott  he 
is  usually  followed  by  several  bicycle  policemen;  that 
is,  as  long  as  he  maintains  the  road.  But  when  he 
gets  to  a  nice  place  for  a  gallop  the  President  will 
wheel  his  horse,  go  over  the  roadside  fence,  followed 
by  McDermott,  but  not  by  the  bicycle  policemen. 
The  riders  of  the  iron  steed  must  stand  in  admiration 
while  the  President,  McDermott  behind  him,  dashes 
across  the  fields,  over  the  fences  and  through  the 
ditches,  over  fallen  trees,  across  washouts,  creeks  and 
through  the  woods  just  as  they  come.  It  is  safe  to 
say  that  at  tbose  times  Con  McDermott  would  not 
change  his  $13  a  month  job  in  the  United  States  army 
for  any  other  position  on  earth . 

The  President  likes  to  go  on  long  rides  and  nothing 
suits  him  better  than  a  good,  hard  relay  ride  such  as 
the  pony  express  men  were  wont  to  make  io  the  old 
days  in  the  West.  His  last  ride  of  this  kind  was  from 
Laramie  to  Cheyenne  and  his  horse,  Wyoming,  made 
the  last  twenty  miles  of  this  relay.  The  President 
made  the  seventy  miles  in  eight  hours,  was  quite  fresh 
at  its  close  and  rode  thirty  or  forty  miles  the  next 
day.  While  at  his  summer  home  at  Oyster  Bay  he 
thinks  nothing  of  riding   forty    or  fifty   miles   any 


morning  or  afternoon  and  like  Western  horsEmen 
would  just  as  soon  ride  at  night  as  any  other  time. 
The  Presidentis  not  only  a  hard  rider,  but  a  thorough 
horseman,  whoknows  allcowbuys'  and  soldiers'  tricks 
of  caring  for  and  nursing  a  horse  when  in  hard  sei  vice. 
He  was  a  great  polo  player  in  his  youth  and  still  re- 
tains his  favorite  polo  pony,  a  Texas  bred  animal 
named  Diamond.  This  little  horse  is  twenty-five 
years  old  and  is  a  pensioner  at  Oyster  Bay.  The 
President  has  not  forgotten  that  this  little  animal 
carried  him  in  many  a  hard-fought  polo  game.  In 
his  carriage  horses  the  President  likes  the  Hamble- 
tonian  strain  of  trotter,  his  favorite  pair  are  Indiana 
bred.  President  Roosevelt  has  a  thorough  know- 
ledge of  the  Hackney  and  the  French  and  Oldenburg 
coach  horse,  but  says  he  wants  the  speed  and  dash 
which  the  trotter  alone  possesses. 

Always  the  companion  of  his  sons,  it  is  to  be 
expected  that  the  Roosevelt  boys  should  possess  their 
father's  taste  in  horses.  They  do.  His  oldest  son. 
Theodore,  lays  claim  to  the  President's  Western 
horse,  Wyoming,  and  rides  him  when  his  father  is  not 
using  him  The  small  boys,  Archie  and  Quentin,  have 
a  Shetland  pony  between  them,  a  piebald,  named 
Algonquin.  The  boys  ride  the  pony  through  Wash- 
ington and  are  very  fond  of  him.  Miss  Alice  Roosevelt 
very  frequently  rides  her  father's  horses,  the  hunters, 
to  hounds  at  the  Chevy  Chase  Club.  She  is  a  fearless 
and  excellent  horsewoman  and  it  is  said  not  even  Miss 
Holloway  is  a  better  cross-country  rider.  Mrs.  Roos- 
evelt is  not  the  wild  rider  her  husband  and  children 
are,  but  she  is  not  a  bit  afraid  of  fences.  She  rides  a 
Kentucky-bred  mare,  very  largely  thoroughbred. 
Mrs.  Roosevelt  very  frequently  is  her  husband's  com 
panion  on  his  rides.  It  may  be  of  interest  to  ladies  of 
cross-saddle  inclination  to  know  that  tne  first  lady  of 
the  land  uses  the  side  saddle  exclusively.  She  wears 
a  short-skirted  English  habit  and  Derby  hat.  The 
President  dresses  in  English  fashion,  barring  that  he 
always  wears  a  slouch  hat.  He  wears  yellow  riding 
boots  and  breeches  made  after  the  English  fashion, 
whether  ridingin  American  or  English  saddle.  Though 
an  admirer  of  the  thoroughbred  in  the  abstract, 
President  Roosevelt  cares  nothing  about  horse  racing; 
however,  when  he  was  Police  Commissioner  in  New 
York  he  liked  nothing  better  than  to  drive  a  fast 
trotter  and  an  excellent  handler  he  is,  too. 


The  Work  Horse's  Shoulders. 


■When  spring's  work  is  first  begun  the  shoulders  of 
the  horses  are  apt  to  get  sore  and  when  a  horse  has 
6ore  shoulders  his  usefulness  is  impaired  in  propor- 
tion to  the  severity  of  the  injury  says  the  Breeders' 
Gazette.  The  man  who  neglects  to  take  the  proper 
precautions  is  simply  inviting  a  monetary  loss  just  as 
surely  as  if  he  threw  paper  money  into  the  fire.  The 
first  thing  to  be  gained  is  that  the  collars  shall  be  of 
good  substantial  make  and  that  they  shall  fit  aright. 
If  the  collar  pinches  it  will  gall  the  flesh  and  skin 
wherever  it  nips.  If  it  is  too  loose  the  draft  will  come 
on  the  wrong  place,  tome  place  not  designed  to  accept 
the  pressure,  and  sores  will  soon  make  their  ap- 
pearance. If  the  collar  does  not  fit  at  the  top,  that  is 
if  it  is  too  tight  or  so  wide  that  it  wobbles,  the  horse 
will  be  subject  to  much  suffering.  We  doubt  if  it  pays 
to  use  sweat  pads,  though  we  all  know  that  their  use 
is  almost  universal.  If  a  horse  loses  flesh  very  greatly 
it  is  well  enough  then  to  fill  out  his  collar,  so  to  speak, 
with  pads,  but  if  a  good-fitting  leather  collar  is  kept 
clean  and  smooth  there  is  no  reason  why  it  should  be 
cumbered  with  pads.  The  collar  should  at  all  times 
be  kept  smooth  and  hard  on  the  side  which  touches 
the  neck.  If  scurf  and  sweat  and  dirt  are  allowed  to 
collect  on  the  bearing  suface  it  will  surely  gall  the 
neck.  It  is  often  well  to  wash  the  neck  thoroughly 
on  coming  home  at  night  in  strong  brine.  Some  good 
farmers  omit  the  brine  altogether,  using  water  hot  or 
cold,  the  idea  being  to  get  the  necks  quite  clean  and 
free  from  foreign  matter  of  all  sorts.  One  old  and 
successful  farmer  who  seldom  bad  a  sore-necked 
horse  made  a  practice  of  anointing  the  neckB  of  his 
horses  with  a  strong  decoction  of  white  oak  bark 
during  the  cropping  season  aEd  for  about  two  weeks 
before  the  horses  were  put  into  heavy  work.  He  said 
that  toughened  the  skin  and   results  certainly  bore 

out  his  statements.

From  time  to  time  there  are  items  in  various  papers 
about  some  one  having  a  "trotting"  or  "pacing" 
ostrich.  It  would  be  interesting  to  know  how  these 
bipeds  are  taught  to  "trot"  and  "pace,"  and  in  what 
way  does  their  run  differentiate  from  the  alleged  trot 
and  pace.  Possibly  'the  "Memphis  shoe"  and  the 
"Indiana  pajamas"  cut  some  figure  in  the  modus 
operandi. — American  Horse  Breeder.

A  New  Breeding  Industry  for  the  State. 

Since  the  inception  of  the  California  Polo  and  Pony 
Racing  Association  a  large  number  of  wealthy  gentle- 
men in  this  State  have  become  very  much  interested 
in  the  breeding  of  the  requisite  ponies  for  the  twin 
branches    of    the    sport    of   polo    and    pony    racing; 


ALTHOMER 

amongst  the  more  prominent  of  whom  may  be 
mentioned  Mr.  Rudolph  Spreckels  the  President  of 
the  Association,  C.  W.  Clark  of  San  Mateo,  F.  J. 
Carolan  of  Burlingame,  W.  S.  Hobart  of  San  Mateo, 


produce  in  future  years  will  make  for  the  California 
thoroughbred  pony  a  world  wide  reptuation.  At  tbe 
head  of  his  stud  he  has  Don  Adolfo  a  son  of  Imported 
Crichton,  dam  Miss  Lou,  herself  a  great  grandaughter 
of  the  famous  Voltigeur  the  great  conquerer  of  Fly- 
ing Dutchman.  Miss  Lou  also  carries  a  strong  strain 
of  the  famous  Lexington.  Don  Adolfo  despite  the 
fact  that  he  was  burdened  with  a  supposed  hoodoo  in 
being  numbered  "13"  in  the  Association  Stud  Book 
has  proved  in  addition  so  his  qualifications  as  a  sire  to 
be  a  race  pony  of  great  merit,  he  having  been  placed 
first  four  times,  second  twice,  third  twice,  and  having 
only  run  once  unplaced  in  his  total  starts;  amongst 
other  fast  ones  he  is  the  sire  of  Becky  whom  when  in 
the  humor  and  with  a  track  to  her  liking  is  probably 
as  fast  a  pony  of  her  inches  as  there  is.  in  the  world 
today,  she  having  defeated  the  world's  champion 
Silver  Dick. 

Don  will  divide  his  stud  duties  this  season  with 
Royal  Flush  a  sire  recently  purchased  by  Mr. 
Spreckels.  Royal  Flush  is  by  Three  Cheers  dam 
Rosette  and  though  well  under  14  hands  2  inches  was 
a  good  race  horse  at  all  distances  and  won  many  races 
here  in  the  palmy  days  of  the  old  Bay  District  Track ; 
his  get  resemble  him  in  size.  Those  by  him  already 
raced  are  all  winners,  and  the  dash  of  the  Newminster 
and  Touchstone  he  carries,  will  surely  beget  stoutness 
and  high  weight  carrying  abilities.  Mr.  Spreckels 
also  has  another  stallion  in  Cougar  who  on  his  sire'a 
side  is  almost  an  owo  brother  in  blood  to  Royal  Flush 
though  only  just  above  the  pony  limit  in  height 
Cougar  has  rare  bone  and  substance.    All  these  stal- 


Here's  a  Thinking  Mare. 

Farmer  William  H.  Ellis,  of  Bloomingburg,  N.  Y., 
owns  a  little  white  mate,  calling  her  Whitefoot. 
Every  schoolday  morning  Whitefoot  hauls  Mr.  Ellis' 
two  little  girls  in  a  wagon  to  the  scboolhouse,  a  mile 
from  home,  and  after  leaving  the  children   there  the 


DON    ADOLFO 

little  mare  turns  around  and  trots  back  to  her 
master's  house  without  any  driver.  When  the  school 
closing  hour  approaches  Mr.  Ellis  hitches  Whitefoot 
up  and  starts  her  off  alone  for  the  schoolhouse  and  in 


MR.    RUDOLPH     SPRECKELS'     STABLE     OF     RACING    PONIES 
Reading  from  left  to  right  the  horses  are  Lotrix,  Cheerful,  Honoma,  Cacahadte,  Brown  Peggy,  Hopefdl,  Althomer  and  Don 


Captain  McKittrick   of  Bakersfield   and   Mr.  W.  E. 
Pedley  of  Riverside. 

Possibly  to  Mr.  Rudolph  Spreckels  of  this  city  be- 
longs the  honor  of  having  at  the  present  time  the 
largest  number  of  thoroughbred  racing  ponies  in  the 
world,  that  gentleman  having  no  fewer  than  fourteen 
in  training  during  the  racing  season  of  the  C.  P.  &  P. 
R.  A.  just  ended.  In  addition  to  the  racing  string  he 
maintains  a  very  large  stud  at  his  country  home  in 
Sonoma  county  having  there  over  thirty  mares  of 
undoubted  lineage  though  of  lilliputian  size  and  whose 


lions  are  chestnut  in  color  and  are  remarkably  level- 
headed and  free  from  all  vices. 

Honoma,  a  chestnut  daughter  of  Homer  out  of 
Noma,  was  until  recently  holder  of  the  association 
records  »t  four  and  five  furlongs  respectively.  Cheer- 
ful is  by  Ruinart  out  of  Kaiserin  and  though  she 
stands  only  14  hands  1 1  inches  we  hardly  think  that 
for  pure  blood  like  symmetry  she  leaves  anything  to  be 
desired. 

Althomer  by  Homer  dam  Altivo  is  another  charm- 
ing filly  who  by  her  numerous  victories  has  well 
earned  her  summer's  rest;  amongst  others  who  have 
carried  the  "all  cerise  with  green  fleur  de  lis  on  back" 
are  Hopeful,  Lotrix, Cacahaute,  Brown  Peggy,  Becky, 
Lady  Gay,  Maud  H,  Pat,  Peghome,  Fretful  and 
Joyful. 

Mr. Frank  Skinner  has  piloted  many  of  the  winners 
though  Messrs.  R.  M.  Tobin,  Chas.  Dunphy  and  H. 
Marsh  have  also  dismounted  from  the  ponies  they 
rode  in  the  much  desired  "winner's  circle."  Mr.  Ray 
Mackay,  the  Australian  amateur,  too  was  successful 
on  the  first  occasion  of  his  donning  Mr.  SpreckelB' 
racing  livery.  At  Sobre  Vista  Mr.  Spreckels  has  a 
completely  equipped  modern  race  track,  training 
grounds  and  stud  farm.  All  of  the  appointments  are  of 
the  most  up-to-date  description  and  with  their  pleas 
ant  environments  and  the  constant  care  and  attention 
bestowed  on  them  by  Mr.  J.  Moore  the  head  trainer 
and  stud  groom  who  has  been  in  Mr.  Spreckels'  ser- 
vice some  eight  years,  we  predict  a  long  continued, 
series  of  record-breaking  alike  on  the  track  and  in  the 
Bale  ring. 

In  future  articles  we  will  publish  photographs  of 
the  leading  ponies  in  the  studs  and  racing  stables  of 
Messrs.  Carolan,  Clark  and  Hobart. 


due  time  she  comes  back  with  the  little  girls.  She  is 
so  careful  an  expert  in  passing  vehicles  on  the  road 
that  she  never  has  a  collision  or  damages  her  harness. 
Recently  Mr.  Ellis'  hired  man  drove  Whitefoot  over 
to  Middleton  on  his  way  to  New  York.  Before  em- 
barking on  the  cars  he  tacked  a  piece  of  paper  on  the 
wagon  seat  containing  this  notice:  "Don't  stop  this 
mare.  She  belongs  to  William  H  Ellis,  Blooming- 
burg, and  will  go  home  all  right,"  and  then  turning 
the  mare's  head  homeward,  he  let  her  go.  Sure 
enough  she  covered  the  distance,  a  long  nine  miles,  in 
safety  and  at  a  pace  that  brought  her  home  in  about 
an  hour. — Farm  Stock  Journal.

Long  about  this  time  o'  year 

Like  to  go  a  flshin'. 

Been  a-waiting  'round  tor  months 

Longln'  and  a-wishin', 

Never  like  t'  take  rod  eo  line 

'Till  the  weather's  nice  and  One 

Sky  all  clear  and  sun  all  shine, 

Then  I  go  a-0shln'. 

Ain't  no  sport  on  earth  to  me 

Nothing  so  entrancin', 

As  a  llshln'  in  Pape'  Mill  Creek 

Watohing  spoon  a'  slantin' 

Now  she  goes  clean  out  of  sight. 

Then  you  strike  with  all  your  might, 

Eat  you  hot  fried  trout  that  night 

When  you  go  a  Qshln'. 


Vacation  for  1905. 

For  complete  and  interesting  details  to  those  who 
intend  to  take  an  outing  trip  this  seaBon,  the  hand* 
some  phamphlet  issued  by  theCalifornia  Northwestern 
Railway  is  lull  ot  information  about  mineral  resorts, 
cam1 -log  spots,  private  homes  in  towns  and  hundreds 
of  farms  where  summer  boarders  are  taken. 

C  iples  of  Vacation  can  be  bad   at  No    650  Market 
sir  at,  Tiburon  ferry,  foot  of  Market  street  or  at   the 
•  pan  y's  general  office,  Pacific  Mutual   Bldg.,   San- 
lii^jand  California  streets. 


Hundreds  of  anglers  from  this  city  were  at  favorite 
trout  fishing  resorts  last  Saturday  and  Sunday. 
General  results,  however,  were  not  favorable  to  large 
catches.  One  reason  for  this,  aside  from  high  water 
and  muddy  conditions  of  many  streams,  was  the 
crowds  congregating  at  certain  brooksides.  On  the 
Paper  Mill  creek  last  Sunday,  for  instance,  there  was 
at  least  300  ambitious  trout  fishers,  most  of  whom 
fished  down  the  creek  from  various  points  upstream, 
working  finally  down  to  Point  Reyes.  At  the  latter 
resort  seventy  rod-wielders  were  counted  on  Friday 
evening  intent  on  having  a  whip  at  the  ade  waters 
and  upstream  pools  early  on  Saturday  morning,  the 
opening  day,  many  of  whom  were  experts  in  con- 
traventing  the  wiles  of  the  trout,  returned  with  nice 
baskets  of  fish.  The  Laguinitas,  Nicasio,  Olema  creek 
and  other  tributaries  of  Paper  Mill  were  also  well 
patronized,  particularly  so  on  Sunday.  The  streams 
further  up  the  road  in  Napa  and  Sonoma  counties 
were  also  visited  by  a  large  number  of  fishermen. 

The  angle  worm,  fresh  shrimps  and  salmon  roe 
were  tbe  mainstay  of  the  fishers  in  getting  their,  fish. 
A  few  trout  were  taken  on  the  spinning  spoon  and  a 
number  of  fish  were  caught  late  Sunday  afternoon 
above  the  county  road  bridge  at  Point  Reyes  with 
the  fly. 

The  Paper  Mill  was  going  down  on  Sunday  at  the 
rate  of  an  inch  an  hour.  It  is  believed  by  several 
expert  anglers  that  good  fly  fishing  would  be  enjoyed 
in  the  creek  about  the  middle  of  this  week. 

Aside  from  the  custom  of  many  anglers  to  be  at  the 
waterside  on  the  opening  day  of  the  season — a  matter 
of  much  sentiment  among  the  fraternity — the  know- 
ing knights  of  the  split  bamboo  will  wait  until  tbe 
waters  are  lower  and  clearer.  The  grand  circuit  will 
open  about  the  middle  of  this  montb.  The  itinerary 
followed  by  the  experienced  angler  is  as  follows: 
Klamath  river  (Shovel  creek  and  vicinity,  where 
there  is  always  good  trout  fishing),  the  Big  Meadows, 
Upper  Sacramento  and  the  McCloud,  the  Truckee, 
the  Sierra  valley  lakes,  Lake  Tahoe,  Independence 
and  Webber  lakes.  The  schedule  will  give,  could  one 
afford  the  time  and  expense,  a  period  of  about  five 
months'  trout  fishing  that  cannot  be  equaled  on  the 
Coast.  A  trip  to  Santa  Cruz  or  San  Mateo  county 
can  be  sandwiched  in  the  program  almost  any  time. 

On  the  Paper  Mill  last  Sunday  it  was  a  race  along 
stream  from  early  morning  until  late  train  time. 
Many  seekers  of  fish  scrambled  through  the  brush  on 
the  banks,  scaled  the  bluffs  or  splashed  through  the 
stream,  each  vieing  with  the  other  for  position  8.  Tbe 
main  results  were  that  the  frightened  fish  hid 
securely. 

Bert  Spring,  who  is  an  expert  angler,  was  fishing  a 
pool  in  the  tide  waters  near  the  Point  and  had  caught 
several  fish.  His  success  was  observed  by  the  priva- 
teers, and  in  a  few  minutes  nearly  a  dozen  lines  were 
cast  into  the  pool.  All  sorts  of  tackle  was  in  vogue. 
Some  enthusiasts  used  handlines  and  heavy  sinkers 
big  enough  for  rockcod  fishing. 

As  an  illustration  of  the  possibilities  for  good  early 
fishing,  one  knowing  angler  caught  a  basketful  of 
nice  six  and  seven  inch  trout  in  the  creek  that  runs 
through  Mill  valley.  The  fish  were  landed  and  ex- 
hibited in  triumph  before  the  commuters  of  that 
picturesque  village  had  read  their  morning  papers. 

Reports  from  San  Jose  state  that  the  second  day  of 
the  open  season  for  trout,  Sunday,  found  hundreds  of 
novice  fishermen  scattered  along  the  various  creeks 
of  the  Santa  Clara  valley,  with  now  and  then  an  ex- 
perienced angler  who  worked  patiently  and  finally 
landed  his  game.  Steven's  creek  and  the  Llagas 
seemed  oo  be  the  most  favorable  for  trout  Sunday,  as 
ma-iy  were  thelimit  baskets  landed  from  their  waters. 

Hundreds  of  San  Joseans  took  an  early  start  and 
crossed  over  to  the  Pescadero  and  other  streams  be- 
yond the  Santa  Cruz  range. 

Taking  the  advice  of  local  authorities  the  crowd 
did  not  cross  the  valley  to  fish  in  the  Smith's  and 
Santa  Ysabel  creeks.  Many  took  the  Interurban  cars 
for  Los  Gatos  and  worked  their  way  up  and  down 
that  stream  until  they  found  that  there  were  few 
trout  to  be  had  in  the  main  stream,  so  they  shifted 
their  rods  to  the  tributaries,  with  better  success. 
The  Guadalupe  was  favored  with  a  moderately  large 
crowd  during  the  morning  hours,  but  the  fishermen 
all  stayed  below  the  mines.  As  many  picnics  were 
held  aiong  the  banks,  the  efforts  of  the  anglers  were 
not  very  successful. 

One  of  the  nicest  baskets  of  fish  taken  was  caught 
by  Mr.  W.  J.  Golcher,  who  drove  over  from  San  Jose, 
to  Smith's  creek.  He  caught  the  limit,  the  fish  run- 
ning from  8  to  12  inches  in  length  and  being  in  the 
finest  condition. 

A  dispatch  from  Halfmoon  Bay,  San  Mateo  county, 
last  Monday  states — Although  the  streams  were  still 
high  from  the  rains,  the  opening  of  the  trout  season 
found  many  enthusiastic  anglers  ready  to  test  their 
skill  with  the  rod.  Many  fishermen  went  to  La  Honda 
to  whip  the  streams  in  that  vicinity,  and,  although 
fishing  wiil  not  be  at  its  best  for  a  few  weeks,  interest 
in  tbe  sport  is  now  keen. 

There  will  ba  good  fishing  in  a  week  or  ten  days  in 
the  Alpine  and  La  Hooda  creeks,  as  all  the  streams  of 
this  country  have  been  well  guarded  by  the  fish  and 
game  commissioners  this  year.  Trout  are  plentiful, 
particularly  at  tbe  headquarters  of  San  Francisquita. 
In  the  Pescadero  Lagoon  large  schools  of  salmon  have 
come  in  from  theocean  and  excellent  fishingis  assured^ 


their  way,  most   interesting   objects  for  an   angler's 
inspection. 

One  reel,  a  No.  2,  shows  that  it  was  made  in  1839  by 
B.C.  Milam  at  Frankfort,  Ky.  It  has  a  longcylinder, 
without  the  drag,  has  a  strong  click,  is  50  yards 
capacity  and  is  made  of  German  silver.  It  has 
evidently  been  much  in  use  and  is  ld  good  serviceable 
condition  today  despite  it  was  made  sixty-six  years 
ago. 

A  No.  1  reel,  made  of  brass  apparently,  with  but 
faint  traces  of  the  original  silver  plating  still  remain- 
ing, has  a  capacity  of  25  yards,  about  thesame  pattern 
as  No.  2  is  also  in  shape  for  good  work  on  the  stream. 
This  reel  was  made  in  1852. 

The  third  reel  a  No  3  made  in  1883,  isin  good  order 
also  and  has  the  added  distinction  of  havirg  gone 
through  the  Southern  Holel  fire  many  years  ago  in 
St.  Louis,  it  yet  shows  several  traces  of  the  fire.  This 
reel  is  of  German  silvtr,  has  a  click  and  drag  and  is 
of  75  yards  capacity.  The  line  is  wound  around  five 
small  rods  instead  of  about  the  cylinder  as  usual. 
These  reels  are  worthy  of  a  few  minutes  overlooking. 
Alongside  of  these  veterans  in  the  show  case  is  a 
fine  collection  of  high  grade  Milam  reels.  If  the  new 
reels  are  built  on  the  same  lines  as  the  old,  and  we 
believe  they  are,  they  are  reels  most  worth  owning 
and  using. 

The  Sportsmen's  Show. 


Delighted  crowds  of  appreciative  visitors  have 
thronged  the  Mechanics'  Pavilion  during  the  week 
taking  in  the  many  sights  at  the  show  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Forest,  Fish  and  Game  Association. 

One  of  the  features  of  principal  interest  to  sports- 
men is  the  fish  exhibit.  Fourteen  large  glass  tanks 
contain  many  specimens  of  fresh  and  salt  water  fishes. 

The  trout  collection  includes— Steelhead  or  rain- 
bow trout,  Dolly  varden,  cut  throat,  Loch  Levin,  Mt. 
Whitney  golden  trout,  etc.  In  oonnection  with  the 
salmonidaeis  to  be  seen  a  minature  fish  hatchery. 
During  the  week  several  thousand  eggs  were  hatched, 
the  process  being  eagerly  watched  by  a  number  of 
interested  observers.  The  California  Fish  Commis- 
sioners supplied  the  above  mentioned  part  of  the  fish 
exhibit. 

Black  bass,  two  varieties,  striped  bass,  and  a  lot  of 
other  fishes  are  also  to  be  seen. 

None  the  less  interesting  are  the  live  specimens  of 
Mexican  quail,  a  bird  that  was  recently  introduced  in 
Southern  California  by  liberating  specimens  secured 
recently  by  Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  H.  T.  Payne 
and  Mr.  E.  A.  Mocker. 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


Tbe  California  Wing  Club  live  bird    club   shoot   for 
April  is  the  card  at  Ingleside  tomorrow. 


In  the  store  of  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.,  on  Market

team. 

The  Empire  shooters  will  pull  off  a  big  merchandise 
shoot  in  September. 

The  April  club  shoot  of  the  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club 
at  Ingleside  last  Sunday  was  attended  by  thirty-two 
shooters.  Weather  conditions  were  ideal  and  good 
averaging  scores  were  the  rule.  In  the  club  race  at 
100  targets,  80°0'  of  the  entries  ;n  the  champion  class 
scored  90%  and  over.  E.  L.  Forster  was  high  gun  for 
the  day  with  95%.  The  club  added  purse  of  $100  was 
distributed  among  the  following  named  shooters  in 
the  order  given:  Champion  class,  five  moneys — E. 
L.  Forster,  M.  O.  Feudner,  A.  J.  Webb,  E.  Holling 
and  E.  Schultz.  First  class,  five  moneys — Mr.  Green, 
F.  Schultz,  Lee  Harpham,  W.  R.  Murdock  and  F.  W. 
King  Second  class,  four  moneys — H.  Klevesahl,  A. 
M.  Shields  and  H.  P.  Jacobsen.  Th.rd  class,  four 
moneys — B.  Patrick,  C.  D.  Harvey,  Mr.  Johnson  and 
L.  Cuneo.

The  Capital  City  Blue  Rock  Club  held  its  regular 
shoot  last  Sunday  at  Sacramento  on  the  Kimball- 
Upson  Company  grounds,  and  was  a  very  lively  affair. 
Much  enthusiasm  prevailed  and  much  good  shooting 
was  done 

In  the  club  medal  shoot  the  winner  proved  to  be  J. 
Gusto,  who  will  henceforth  this  season  shoot  from  the 
18-yard  mark,  to  keep  Monte  Newbert  company. 

Just  a  new  shot,  David  Ruhstaller,  made  good  with 
an  80  per  cent  average  for  the  day  and  a  90  per  cent 
average  for  the  ten  target  events. 

A  summary  of  scores  follows:

first  money  with  a  clean  score,  the  second  falling  to 
Yardley's  gun.  In  another  similar  pool  F  Newbert 
was  first  and  Herold  second.  Again  at  ten  targets 
Newbert  and  Herold  were  the  victors.  In  the  last 
event  of  the  day  David  Ruhstaller  was  winner,  with 
Gusto  second.

Walker,  Fano,  and  Garrettson  is  expected.  J.  M. 
Kolb  will  come  up  from  Oceanside,  and  all  told  the 
out-of-town  turnout  bids  fair  to  be  a  record  breaker. 


blood  and  crack  exponents  of  type  for  the  breed  is 
well  thought  of  out  here  and  should  be  encouraged 
and  placed  up  in  position  where  it  belongs. 

Mr.  Watson  writes  us  that  he  is  offering  good  dogs, 
and  by  the  way  he  is  well  and  favorably  known  to 
many  Coast  fanciers,  and  will  send  out  a  winner  at 
many  shows  for  as  low  as  $125  and  up  to  $250  for 
Rascal.  He  has  some  good  bitches  also  at  very  reason- 
able prices.  In  fact  Mr.  Watson  can  fill  an  order  for 
several  of  the  top  notchere,  in  this  country  or  across 
theses;  further  information  can  be  obtained  by  mail 
or  telegrrm  to  tne  address  given  in  the  "ad."

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


LOS    ANGELES     SHOW. 

The  Southwestern  Kennel  Club  show  will  be  held  in 
Los  Angeles  next  month.  The  dates  claimed  are  May 
17,  18,  19  and  20.  The  club  has  made  application  for 
A.  K.  C.  membership  and  the  show  will  be  held  under 
A.  K.  C.  rules,  so  it  is  reported. 

The  Los  Angeles  show  last  year  was  a  great  success 
in  point  of  enthusiasm  and  attendance  and  will  no 
doubt  be  none  the  le9S  so  next  month,  with  the  added 
agreeable  feature  of  a  decidedly  larger  liBt  of  entries. 
James  Cole  of  Kansas  City  was  the  judge  last  year, 
we  have  not  yet  heard  who  has  been  billed  for  this 
year's  ribbon  disbursement. 


SPECIALTY     CLUBS     WORKING     HARD. 

The  Collie,  Bull  Terrier,  California  Cocker,  Pacific 
Fox  Terrier  and  St.  Bernard  clubs  are  exerting  every 
endeavor  for  a  fine  showing  of  the  respective  breeds 
as  well  as  an  extra  strong  list  of  attractive  specials. 

EASTERN    COLLIE     BITCH    COMING. 

Mr.  McEllery  is  following  the  bent  of  his  fancy  in 
getting  some  good  ones.  His  latest  purchase  is  the 
Collie  bitch  Gladys  May  (Anfield  Prince  ex  Lady 
Augusta).  May  won  first  puppies,  first  for  exhibitors 
breeding,  first  Westminster  Stake  and  silver  medal 
for  best  American  bred  bitch  at  the  recent  New  York 
show.  

NORTHERN    SHOW    JUDGES. 

Major  J.  M.  Taylor  will  judge  all  breeds  at  Van- 
couver, B.  C,  April  12-15,  it  is  reported.  Mr.  E.  N. 
Barker,  of  New  York,  will  make  the  awards  at 
Victoria,  B.  C,  April  19-21.  James  J.  Lynn,  of  Port 
Huron,  Mich.,  has  been  engaged  for  the  Seattle  Dog 
Fanciers'  show,  April  26-29.  Mr.  Ashton  will  also 
judge  at  Portland,  Or.,  May  3-6. 


IRISH    TERRIER    NOTES. 

Borthwick  Kennels  announce  the  chance  to  get 
some  good  Irish  Terriers  on  page  19  of  this  issue. 
These  dogs  and  bitches  have  carried  the  Borthwick 
banners  to  the  front  on  the  EaBtern  circuit  and 
according  to  Mr.  James  Watson,  and  he  is  a  reliable 
authority,  they  cando  some  winning  on  the  Coast.  At 
all  events   here  is  a  splendid    opportunity   for  new 


STUD    BOOK    FOR     1904. 

The  American  Kennel  Gazette  announces  that  Volume 
XXI  of  the  A.  K.  C.  Stud  Book,  for  last  year,  will  be 
ready  for  distribution  and  on  sale  at  the  office  (55 
Liberty  street,  New  York)  by  the  last  week  of  this 
month.  A  volume  will  be  expressed  to  all  associate 
members  who  are  entitled  to  the  same.  This  com- 
prises all  members  who  have  paid  their  dues  for  the 
year  1904. 

Those  joining  since  January  1,  1905,  will  not  be 
entitled  to  the  volume,  but  to  the  succeeding  issue 
(1905)  Volume  XXII,  which  will  be  published  in   1906. 

Volume  XXI  contains  7395  registrations  comprising 
the  numbers  from  78,563  to  84,963  inclusive.  Fanciers 
desiring  to  purchase  a  copy,  can  secure  the  same  by 
writing  to  Secretary  A.  P.  Vredenburgh. 


A     DISTEMPER     CURE. 

Craft's  Distemper  and  Cough  Cure  is  a  medicine 
that  is  fast  becoming  a  favorite  and  efficacious  remedy 
used  for  distemper  in  numerous  kennels.  Testi- 
monials from  many  points  show  that  the  specific  for 
this  disease  has  saved  puppies  time  and  again.  The 
remedy  is  not  a  new  one  by  any  means,  but  has  been 
on  the  market  for  many  years  and  has  given  universal 
satisfaction.  It  is  sold  by  all  druggists  on  the  Coast. 
There  is  one  advantage  in  favor  of  the  buyer 
and  that  is  the  medicine  is  always  fresh,  there  being 
a  regular  and  constant  demand  for  it.  This  is  more 
than  can  be  said  of  the  many  stale  compounds  labeled 
"dog  remedies"  that  are  to  be  found  on  druggists' 
shelveB  throughout  the  Coast. 


'FRISCO    SHOW. 

The  premium  list  for  the  S.  F.  K.  C.  show  came  out 
early  this  week.  The  c'assification  embraces  266 
classes.  There  is  a  full  classification  for  the  following 
breeds — St.  Bernards,  rough  coats;  Great  Danes, 
Pointers,  English  Setters,  Irish  Setters,  Irish  Water 
Spaniels,  Cocker  Spaniels,  Collie6,  Bulldogs,  Bull 
Terriers,  Bostons,  Dachshundes,  Fox  Terriers, 
smooths  and  wires;  and  Irish  Terriers. 

There  is  a  new  class,  at  least  five  classes  provided 
for  Welch  Terriers,  a  breed  somewhat  unfamiliar  to 
the  Coast  fancy. 

The  list  of  specials  offered  is  a  fine  one — the  breeds 
most  abundantly  taken  care  of  are  Collies,  Cockers 
and  Fox  Terriers,  the  specially  clubs  having  worked 
hard  for  a  strong  list  of  prizes. 

We  note,  with  some  surprise  the  absence  of  anything 
in  the  way  of  specials  for  Bull  Terriers,  however,  this 
may  have  been  an  inadvertency  as  the  announcement 
is  made  that  many  prizes  were  received  too  late  for 
publication,  a  full  list  will  appear  in  the  catalogue. 

Another  omission,  or  departure  from  custom,  is  the 
non-announcement  of  what  constitutes  the  regular 
prizes. 

Premium  lists,  entry  blanks,  and  all  information 
relative  to  the  coming  show  can  be  obtained  at  No. 
630  Market  street  this  city  where  Manager  H.  H. 
Carlton  can  be  found  from  9  a.  m.  until  5  p.  m.,  or  at 
the  office  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman. 


ANOTHER    ONE    STOLEN. 

We  regret  to  note  the  hard  luck  handed  to  Mr. 
Wm.  Bay  by  some  unscrupulous  thief  this  week 
Kitty  Kelly,  the  crack  Irish  Water  Spaniel  bitch  he 
recently  purchased  from  a  Vancouver  kennelB,  is 
among  the  missing  and  the  earmarks  of  the  case 
point  to  a  deliberately  planned  theft  of  the  bitch. 
Efforts  by  Mr.  Bay  so  far,  for  recovery  of  his  dog, 
have  been  unsuccessful. 


TO     A     CORRESPONDENT. 

The  communication  recently  received  by  the  Kennel 
Editor  from  "A  True  Friend"  is  appreciated  at  its  full 
value  and  all  information  on  the  lines  intimated  is  in- 
vited as  early  as  possible.  We  will  request,  however, 
the  identity  of  the  writer  before  seriously  considering 
a  proposition,  which  has  only  the  merit  of  scurrilous 
malevolency. 

In  connection  with  the  subject  matter  trenched 
upon  we  will  9tate  that  the  exposures  of  dishonesty 
and  rascality  will  be  continued  in  the  interest  of 
buncoed  individual  fanciers  and  for  the  purity  of 
general  dogdom. 

The  officers  of  the  Seattle  Dog  Fanciers'  Associa- 
tion are:  C.  W.  Sharpies,  President;  F.  A.  Pontius, 
Vice-President;  Arthur  Murphy,  Treasurer;  Charles 
McAllister,  Secretary. 

Premium  lists  for  the  show  next  month  can  be  ob- 
tained at  the  office  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
or  by  addressing  Mr.  Chas.  McAllister,  City  Hall, 
Seattle.     Entries  close  April  19th. 


Phil  Wand  has  had  the  additional  bad  luck  to  lose 
a  handsome  puppy  by  Ch.  Stylish  Sergeant  out  of  Ch. 
ELloree.    The  pup  was  evidently  stolen. 

Prior  to  his  disappearance  the  little  Setter  had  his 
tail  amputated  by  a  passing  street  car. 


James  Moreland ,  who  likes  a  Collie  and  has  had  some 
good  ones  in  our  shows,  has  recently  returned  from  an 
Eastern  trip.  

VANCOUVER    SHOW. 

Entries  close  for  the  Vancouver  show  on  April  8th — 
we  find  it  so  announced  in  the  premium  list  issued  by 
the  Vancouver  Kennel  Club. 


There  will   not  be  another  W.  K.  L.  show  held  in 
California,  it  is  reported. 


We  are  curious  to  know  what  action  would  be  taken 
in  enforcing  the  recent  sweeping  disqualifying  Pacific 
Advisory  Board  resolution  should  the  Seattle  Kennel 
Club  hold  its  show  under  C.  K.  C.  rules  instead  of 
W.  K.  L   rules.     The  shift  may  be  made. 


The  Santa  Clara  County  Kennel  Club  will  not  hold 
a  show  until  fall,  if  at  all.  The  reason  given  is  that 
the  time  now  was  too  short  to  prepare  for  a  good 
showing.  

SUCCESSFUL    PHEASANT    BREEDING. 

A  year  ago  Dr.  F.  C.  Sutliff,  of  Corning,  after  a 
great  deal  of  trouble,  succeeded  in  getting  a  few 
pheasants  shipped  here  from  Pennsylvania  for  breed- 
ing purposes,  says  the  Sacramento  Bee.  He  vainly 
sought  beforehand  to  obtain  the  birds  on  this  coast, 
but  being  unable  to  do  so  had  them  brought  from 
the  Quaker  State  at  considerable  expense.  Being  an 
enthusiastic  fancier,  the  doctor  took  great  delight  in 
the  birds,  and  by  careful  breeding  has  increased  his 
flock  to  about  100  very  choice  specimens. 

Realizing  from  the  rapidity  with  which  the  pheas- 
ant breeas  that  he  would  have  to  find  a  market  for 
the  surplus  game  birds,  he  advertised  the  sale  of  a 
few,  and  now  has  far  more  orders  than  he  can  fill, 
both  for  the  old  pheasants  and  for  eggs. 

True  to  his  sporting  inclinations,  the  doctor,  who  is 
a  member  of  the  Fish  and  Game  Protective  Associa- 
tion, has  liberated  a  number  of  the  pheasants  along 
the  river,  believing  that  they  will  soon  multiply  and 
afford  excellent  sport  for  the  gunner.  With  the  dis- 
tribution of  pheasants  over  the  State,  it  will  be  only  a 
short  time,  in  all  probability,  until  tbey  become  quite 
plentiful,  as  they  multiply  far  more  rapidly  than 
quail,  and  are  a  much  better  game  bird. 

The  variety  of  pheasant  mentioned  above  is  not 
given.  As  to  the  successful  introduction  of  the  birds 
generally  throughout  the  State,  we  doubt  it.  They 
will  thrive  in  favorable  territory,  it  is  true,  but  such 
conditions  do  not  exist  everywhere.

Duck  Hunting  on  Chesapeake  Bay. 

Three  methods  of  duck  shooting  are  in  vogue  with 
tho  Chesapeake  Bay  gun  clubs.  There  is  another,  and 
outside  method,  which  will  be  considered  by  itself. 
Tho  club  methods  are  decoy  shooting,  point  shooting, 
and  bar  shooting.  Decoy  shooting  is  done  from  a 
blind  situated  at  the  feeding  ground  of  the  ducks,  on 
the  shore  line,  or  at  the  outer  end  of  a  causeway  from 
fifty  to  eighty  yards  long.  The  gunner  is  concealed 
in  a  "box."  sunk  in  the  meadows  or  water,  provided 
with  a  bench-seat,  and,  sometimes,  with  a  small  stove 
to  furnish  warmth  in  very  cold  weather.  The  box 
has  a  water-tight  cover  to  keep  It  dry  In  unusually 
high  tides.  The  garb  of  the  sportsman  may  be  cloth 
or  leather,  according  to  his  fancy,  but  it  must  be 
warm  and  as  nearly  straw  oolor  as  possible  to  harmon- 
ize with  the  surroundings,  for  the  duck  as  a  rule,  and 
the  canvasback  in  particular  is  a  close  observer,  and 
any  discordance  of  color  will  send  him  away  from  the 
blind  with  the  speed  of  a  high-powered  projectile. 

The  decoys,  or  ''stools"  which  are  wooden,  or 
metal,  or  rubber  counterfeits  of  the  ducks,  are 
anchored  about  the  blind  so  that  they  will  attract  the 
attention  of  the  ducks  from  afar.  Considerable  skill, 
acquired  only  by  experience,  is  required  in  placing  the 
decoys.  Ducks,  as  a  rule,  fly  against  the  wind,  and 
on  coming  to  decoys,  first  go  by,  then  make  a  circle 
and  round  up  to  leeward  before  alighting.  The 
proper  way  to  place  decoys  is  to  trail  them  out  at 
right  angles  to  the  shore,  so  that  they  will  be  visible 
a  long  way  off,  and  bunch  them  near  the  blina.  The 
birds,  after  circling,  will,  as  a  rule,  light  near  the 
bunch  of  stools,  in  easy  gunshot  of  the  blind.  The 
Eastern  canvasback,  however,  does  not  stool  well. 
He  is  too  wary.  He  flies  higher  than  the  ordinary 
duck,  and,  after  circling  round,  takes  a  more  careful 
survey  of  the  surroundings.  If  anything  is  out  of 
keeping  with  the  natural  appearance  of  things,  he  is 
off  like  a  shot.  The  hunter  must  be  properly  clothed, 
with  only  his  eyebrows  above  the  rim  of  the  box,  and 
must  keep  absolutely  still  until  the  duck  "sets  his 
winds'' — that  is,  makes  ready  to  light.  If  he  moves 
a  moment  too  soon,  the  game  is  gone  before  he  has  a 
chance  to  pull  the  trigger. 

An  almost  indispensable  ally  of  the  gunner  is  the 
Chesapeake  Bay  Dog.  This  breed  is  a  liver-colored, 
thick-coated  dog  about  the  height  of,  but  somewhat 
thicker  than  the  average  Setter.  He  lies  behind  the 
blind  without  a  movement  save  of  the  eyes,  or  occas- 
ionally of  the  head  from  windward  to  leeward.  Nine 
times  "out  of  ten  he  will  see  the  ducks  coming  before 
the  hunter,  and  often  willgive  the  latter  warning  by  a 
subdued  cry.  He  never  moves  until  the  hunter  has 
discharged  his  one  or  two  guns,  and  then  he  goes  for 
the  wounded  instead  of  the  dead  birds. 

Without  command  or  hesitation,  he  plunges  into 
the  icy  wator,  and,  ignoring  the  dead  birds,  makes 
for  the  wounded.  These  will  dive  at  his  approach, 
but  they  will  not  elude  him.  While  they  are  under 
water  he  swims  around  in  circles,  watching  for  their 
reappearance.  As  soon  as  they  show  up  he  makes  for 
them  again.  They  dive  once  more,  and  he  repeats 
the  same  tactics,  often,  If  the  water  be  rough,  rising 
half  the  length  of  his  body  above  the  waves  to  survey 
the  field,  ready  to  pursue  the  bird  in  whatever  direc- 
tion It  goes.  An  instance  is  known  in  which  one  of 
these  dogs  pursued  a  wounded  goose,  in  freezing 
weather  and  in  the  teeth  of  a  north  west  gale,  for  miles, 
until  it  was  finally  given  up  for  lost,  but  yet  returned 
with  the  goose. 

There  is  much  uncertainty  as  to  the  origin  of  the 
Chesapeake  Bay  Retriever  as  they  call  the  dog  in 
that  section.  The  negroes  of  Maryland  have  a  tradi- 
tion that  it  is  descended  from  a  cross  between  the 
otter  and  the  Newfoundland.  That  Is  manifestly 
absurd,  for  two  distinct  species  will  not  mix.  A  more 
plausible  theory  is  that  advanced  by  a  member  of  the 
Carroll's  Island  Club  of  more  than  thirty  years'  stand- 
ing, ex-Mayor  Latrobe  of  Baltimore.  According  to 
M  r.  Latrobe: 

"Many  years  ago  a  vessel  from  Newfoundland  ran 
aground  near  an  estate  called  Walnut  Grove,  on  the 
shores  of  the  Chesapeake.  This  estate  belonged  to 
Mr.  George  Law,  a  member  of  a  well  known  Maryland 
family.  On  board  the  ship  were  two  Newfoundland 
dogs,  which  wore  given  by  the  Captain  to  Mr.  Law  in 
return  for  kindness  and  hospitality  shown  to  himself 
and  his  crew.  The  beginning  of  the  Chesapeake  Bay 
Dog  was  a  cross  between  these  Newfoundlands  and 
the  common  yellow  and  tan  colored  hound,  or  'coon 
dog,1  of  that  part  of  the  country." 

That  Mr.  Latrobe  Is  mistaken  a  superficial  examina- 
tion of  the  famous  Retriever  will  suffice  to  establish. 
There  is  not  the  faintest  suggestion  of  the  hound  in 
his  anatomy.  Bis  head  alone,  to  say  nothing  of  his 
coat,  is  a  sufficient  refutation  of  that  supposition. 

A.    1).    Foulke  of    Che  iy,  in    an    account 

written  for  I  i  many  years  ago, 

and  qui  hold  Burgee  in  T 

' ,  says  the  Chesapeake  Bay  Dog  is  a 
orOBS  between  the  English  Water  Poodle  and  the 
Newfoundland.  This  la  more  reasonable,  yet.  If  it  be 
true,  must  raise  tho  question — What  has  become  of 
the  Newfoundland?  That  the  animal  la  a  genuine 
water  dog  Is  proved  by  his  coat.  This  is  an  outer 
covering  of  long,  coarse  hair  and  an  inner  coat,  next 
to  the  skin,  of  verv  fine,  oily  f'ir.  That  the  water 
never  penetrates  that  fur  explains  his  extraordinary 
ability  to  withstand  cold.  All  things  considered,  It 
Boms  likely  that  the  Chesapeake  Bay  Retriever  is  a 
i  rota  between  the  Water  Poodle  and  tho  Water 
Spaniel. 

rmni  shooting  differs  from  decoy  shooting  merely 
In  tho  location  of  the  blind  on  a  point  In  the  line  of 
flight  habitually  followed  by  the  ducks,  and   the  use 


of  fewer  decoys.  The  ducks  are  not  expected  to  stool, 
but  a  few  decbys  are  put  out  to  draw  the  flying  birds 
closer  to  the  shore.  In  bar  shooting  the  blind  is 
placed  upon  a  bar  across  which  the  ducks  fly  to  and 
Irom  the  feeding  grounds.  No  decoys  are  used.  The 
ducks  fly  in  the  early  morning  and  late  evening,  and 
better  on  windy  and  stormy,  than  on  quietdays.  For 
the  morning  shooting  the  hunter  must  be  early  in  the 
blind,  for  the  ducks  are  on  the  wing  with  the  first 
streak  of  light.  Rubber  boots  are  always  essential, 
aDd  waterproof  covering  generally  so. 

In  point  and  bar  shooting  heavy  guns  are  used,  as 
the  ducks  are  not  to  be  had  at  close  range.  Over  the 
bars  they  fly  high  and  around  the  points  at  long  dis- 
tances. The  favorite  weapons  are  8-bore  double,  or 
4-bore  single  guns,  with  ch  rges  of  No.  1  orNo.2shot. 
For  decoy  shooting  a  10-bore  double  gun  is  generally 
used  with  No.  3  or  No.  4  shot  A  fourth  method  of 
shooting,  practical  generally  on  the  lower  Chesapeake, 
is  from  the  "sink-boat."  Thi6  is  a  rectangular  float, 
showing  little  above  the  surface  of  the  water,  with  a 
depression  in  the  centre  just  large  enough  to  accom- 
modate the  body  of  a  man.  The  sink-boat  is  anchored 
on  the  feeding  ground  and  surrounded  by  from  150  to 
200  decoys.  The  hunter  lies  flat  on  his  back,  with  a 
pillow  under  his'head  and  two  double-barreled  10-bore 
guns  across  his  legs.  Dogs  are  not  used  in  sink-boat 
shooting. 

Bushwhacking  is  the  recourse  of  the  pot  or  market 
hunter  Two  men  work  together.  Numerous  decoys 
are  placed  on  the  feeding  grounds  A  large  flat- 
bottom  skiff,  containing  the  two  men,  is  anchored 
abouta  hundred  yardsfrom  thedecoys.  One  man,  with 
two  guns,  sits  in  the  bow;  the  other  man,  with  one 
or  two  guns,  in  the  stern  to  manage  the  boat.  When 
the  ducks  light  among  the  stools,  they  temporarily 
lose  their  heads  in  surprise  or  indignation  at  the 
counterfeit  presentments  The  boat  is  then  noiselessly 
sculled  to  close  range  and  both  men  shoot  the  ducks 
upon  the  water  as  fast  as  they  can.  Bushwhacking 
has  had  much  to  do  with  the  decrease  of  the  canvas- 
back in  that  hunting  ground. 

There  are  many  clubs  along  the  Chesapeake,  and 
every  location  affording  advantages  for  shooting  has 
longbeen  pre-empted.  Thebest  known  is  the  Carroll's 
Island  Club  located  at  the  mouth  of  Gunpowder  River 
on  theupperpartofthebay.  It  is  more  than  a  century 
old,  and  has  included  many  noted  men  among  its  mem- 
bers. At  the  present  time  the  majority  of  its  members 
are  New  Yorkers.  The  club  season  opens  November 
1  and  closes  March  31.  The  Carroll's  Island  Club  has 
its  own  stock  of  Rstrievers,  which  it  has  bred  for 
generations,  and  from  which  strain  has  been  bred  dogs 
on  Currituck  Sound  and  even  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  In 
the  records  of  the  club  are  preserved  the  names  and 
feats  of  many  famous  dogs  which  have  had  their  day. 
Most  of  these  clubs  limit  the  shooting  to  three  days 
per  week. 

The  best  known  resort  for  duck  shooting  on  the 
Lo-ver  Chesapeake  is  Havre  de  Grace,  at  the  mouth 
of  the  Susquehanna.  The  Ragged  Island  Club  is  the 
most  notable  of  Currituck  Sound. 


TRADE  NOTES. 


THE    GUNS     OF    105G    AGO. 

What  has  become,  it  has  been  asked,  of  all  the  fine 
old  guns  made  by  the  crack  gun-makers  during  the 
last  century?  One  after  another  they  have  been 
superseded  by  new  inventions.  Yet  all  the  time  the 
work  has  been  of  the  highest  quality,  and  the  decora- 
tion often  most  artistic.  A  write"  in  the  Country 
Gentleman  says:  We  recently  saw  two  single-barrelled 
flintlocks — lb-bore,  perfectly  balanced,  and,  no  doubt, 
responsible  for  the  deaths  of  hundreds  of  partridges 
every  year  in  the  hands  of  the  top  hatted  sportsmen, 
their  owners.  The  double-barrelled  flintlocks  that 
followed  them  are  now  quite  as  scarce  as  the  single 
barrels.  Moreover,  the  period  of  the  double  flintlock 
was  shorter  than  that  of  the  single,  for  the  percussion 
cap  cut  its  career  short.  Someiimes  a  single  flintlock 
had  two  hammers,  one  on  each  side,  which  fell  to  the 
pull  of  one  trigger.  This  was  to  ensure  the  ignition 
of  the  charge  against  a  misfire. 

The  "copper  cap"  guns,  In  the  times  of  the  second 
Manton  and  the  first  Purdey,  were  splendid  sporting 
instruments.  We  have  before  us  now  a  double  John 
Manton — not  "Joe" — which  is  as  good  a  piece  of 
work  as  a  gun  could  be.  It  is  light,  yet  solid,  12-bore, 
perf-ctly  balanced,  and  truely  bored.  The  ramrod  is 
ebony,  tipped  with  gun-metal,  or  rather  bound  with 
it,  at  the  large  end,  and  capped  with  it  at  the  small 
end,  the  cap  unscrewingand  uncovering  a  sharp  screw 
with  which  to  draw  the  wads,  if  the  gun  were  undis- 
charged. The  hammers,  of  beautiful  design,  fit  very 
amply  over  the  cap  and  nipple,  so  as  to  prevent  the 
cap  from  flying,  as  this  sometimes  caused  the  ioss  of 
an  eye.  They  are  in  the  shape  of  an  elaborately 
modelled  dolphin.  There  is  a  safety-bolt  below  the 
grip,  which  prevents  the  gun  going  off  unless  the 
hand  is  on  the  grip  and  squeezing  it,  as  it  naturally 
would  before  pulling  tbe  trigger.  The  stock  is  more 
the  color  of  mahogany  than  of  walnut,  and  we  incline 
to  think  that  it  is  mahogany  root,  or  from  a  very 
curly  stem.  The  case  is  fitted  with  duplicates  of  all 
parts  except  the  stock  and  barrels  and  main  locks, 
and  with  elaborately  carved  whistles  of  ivory,  cleaning 
apparatus,  machines  for  holding  caps,  punching  wads, 
and  tbe  like.  It  is  a  6plendid  killer,  the  pattern  for 
penetration  and  evenness  being  first-rate.

yard  mark,  shooting  New  Schultze,  and  tied  with 
Fred  Gilbert  who  stood  at  22  yards.  On  the  shoot 
off  at  20  targets,  Mr.  Layman 'broke  23  to  Mr.  Gil- 
bert's 22.  Mr.  Gilbert  had  a  run  of  157  straight,  Mr. 
Crosby  one  of  147,  and  W.'  D.  Stannard  one  of  104. 

"U.    M.    C."    WINS    AS    USUAL. 

The  regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  Golden  Gate  Gun 
Club  was  held  at  Ingleside  on  Sunday,  April  2,  1905. 
The  day  waB  one  of  singular  perfection,  and  the  out- 
look and  situation  of  the  grounds  were  even  more 
noticeably  beautiful  than  usual.  It  is  doubtful  if 
anywhere  on  the  round  globe  a  shooting  ground  could 
be  found  to  compare  with  this  at  Ingleside. 

There  were  32  contestants  at  this  meeting.  The 
absentees  were  all  anglers,  who  availed  themselves 
of  the  opening  of  the  trout  season.  Of  these  32 
who  faced  the  traps, 26  were  users  of  U.  M.  C.  "Magic," 
"Acme,"  and  "Majestic"  shells,  thus  repeating  the 
old  story,  which  before  long  we  can  write  "ditto" 
under,  and  save  ink  anr*  space. 

The  high  average  for  the  day  was  won  by  Edgar 
Forster,  with  the  invincible  combination  of  a  Reming- 
ton shotgun  and  U.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

The  winners  in  the  champion  class  were  Forster, 
Feudner.  Webb,  Schultz  and  Holling,  four  of  whom 
used  U.  M.  C.  shells. 

In  the  first  class  were  Greene,  F.  Schultz,  Harpham, 
Murdock  and  King,  four  of  whom  were  users  of  U.  M. 
C.  shells 

In  the  second  class  the  winners  were  H.  Klevesahl, 
Shields  and  Jacobsen,  all  using  U.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

In  the  third  class  were  Patrick,  Harvey,  Johnson 
and  Cuneo,  three  using  TJ.  M.  C.  shells. 

Thus  14  of  the  17  winners  were  users  of  TJ.  M.  C. 
goods. 


WHAT    IS     ITT 

A  new  fishing  rod,  made  by  a  Philadelphian,  is 
built  upon  the  principle  of  a  trombone,  or  pump  gun. 
The  reel  is  operated  by  sliding  a  hand  grasp  on  the 
bull  of  the  rod.  Tho  sliding  grip  operates  in  both 
directions,  but  revolves  the  reel  only  in  winding  up 
tho  line,  and  a  thumb  lever  forces  the  reel  when  a 
made.  It  requires  both  hands  to  work  the 
iboveand  the  other  below  the  reel.  The 
whole  construction  of  the  movlog  parts  is  of  brass.

WINCHESTER     RECORDS     REPORTED. 

The  account  of  the  shooting  done  by  Dr.  E.  P. 
Gleason,  of  Boston,  sounds  very  much  like  the  best 
professional  shooting,  but  Dr.  Gleason  is  a  simon- 
pure  amateur.  On  March  27th,  in  the  match  between 
the  Boston  Athletic  Association  and  the  Yale  Gun 
Club,  he  scored  48  out  of  the  possible  50  and  had  pre- 
viously made  a  like  score  in  practice.  He  then  went 
with  the  B.  A.  A.  to  New  York  for  the  match  with 
the  Crescent  Gun  Club,  March  28th,  where  he  made  a 
new  record  for  the  Crescent  Club  grounds,  shooting 
110  tsrgets  straight.  In  the  two  days'  shooting,  he

THE   FARM. 


The  Cream   Separator. 


Farmers'  Bulletin  No  201,  entitled  "The 
Cream  Separator  on  We6tern  Farms,"  is 
one  of  the  most  interesting  publications  j 
of  the  past  year.  Jnst  at  the  present  i 
time  a  great  many  of  our  readers  in  | 
creamery  districts  are  seriously  consider- 
ing the  advisability  of  purchasing  hand 
separators  and  we  suggest  to  each  one  of 
them  that  he  send  to  the  Department  of 
Agriculture  for  this  bulletin.  The  par- 
ticular point  we  note  in  this  bulletin  is 
the  explanation  of  the  difference  between 
profits  under  the  old  system  and  under 
the  new.  One  of  the  moat  important  of 
which  is  the  value  of  the  Bkimmed  milk 
for  feeding  purposes.  We  publish  some 
extracts  from  the  bulletin  which  will  in- 
terest all  milk  producers,  suggesting  that 
our  readers  send  for  the  bulletin  entire. 

The  change  to  the  home  separator 
proved  a  means  of  reducing  the  cost  of 
hauling,  in  time  or  money,  to  one  cent  or 
less  per  pound  of  butter  fat.  This  differ- 
ence in  cost  between  the  two  methods 
went  into  the  farmer's  pocket.  The  re- 
sult was  an  increased  interest  in  the 
business  and  greater  receipts  at  the 
creameries. 

One  of  the  great  drawbacks  of  the  old 
system  was  the  serious  loss  in  the  value 
of  the  skim  milk  The  long  haul  to  the 
station  and  the  long  haul  home  consumed 
from  five  to  eight  hours,  and  often  more. 
When  the  cans  of  skim  milK  were  de- 
livered at  the  patron's  door,  the  milk  was 
usually  in  bad  condition,  and  the  calves 
that  were  forced  to  drink  it  were  in  a 
worse  Btate.  The  skim  milk  was  one  of 
the  things  that  never  failed  to  bring  out 
a  6trong  argument  a.ainst  the  dairy  busi- 
ness Wise  ones  often  filled  the  dairy 
paperB  with  articles  about  how  to  feed 
skim  milk  to  calves  successfully,  but  these 
wise  ones  didn't  live  at  the  end  of  a  12- 
mile  route,  where  they  had  to  feed  the 
article  as  it  was  delivered  to  them,  after 
being  from  eight  to  ten  hours  on  the  road. 
It  was  a  common  story  that  skim  milk 
killed  the  calves  and  pigs,  and  not  worth 
hauling  home.  This  was  probably  much 
overdrawn,  for  it  was  very  difficult  to  buy 
any  of  the  skim  milk  at  the  factories.  It 
was  not  so  good  as  it  should  have  been, 
but  it  was  needed  and  recognized  as  in- 
dispensable by  every  farmer.  The  intro- 
duction of  the  farm  separator,  however, 
wrought  a  great  change.  In  visiting 
hundreds  of  farmers  who  are  using  farm 
separators,  the  writer  has  not  heard  one 
word  of  complaint  on  thescoreof  the  skim 
milk.    Calves,    pigs    and    chickens    are

greedy  for  it,  and  all  are  doing  well  on  it. 
Men  who  would  never  consider  the  matter 
under  the  old  system  have  been  convint  ed 
that,  with  a  separator  at  home,  they  can 
raise  good  calves. 

Many  authentic  instances  are  on  record 
where  the  farmer  has  sold  from  one-fourth 
to  one-third  more  butter  fat  from  the 
same  herd  after  buying  a  separator;  not 
that  he  did  not  get  pay  for  all  butter  fat 
that  he  delivered  to  the  creamery  when 
he  hauled  milk,  but  because  he  did  not 
deliver  all  the  butter  fat  to  the  cream- 
ery. The  skim  milk  was  coming  back 
from  the  creamery  in  condition  unfit  for 
the  calves.  New  milk  was  fed  them  in- 
stead. This  happened  often,  with  the 
result  that  the  calf  was  eating  butter  fat 
worth  from  15  to  20  cents  perpound  when 
an  equal  amount  of  corn-chop  worth 
about  two  cents  per  pound  would  have 
served  rlmoBt  as  well.  When  the  farm 
separator  was  bought,  the  calves  were 
weaned  earlier  from  whole  milk;  in  fact, 
many  of  them  got  no  whole  milk  at  all. 
The  Dutter  fat  was  sold.  Then,  again, 
many  who  hauled  their  own  milk  had  to 
quit  for  a  while  in  the  busy  season.  They 
could  not  spare  a  team  to  take  the  milk 
in.  When  they  bought  a  separator,  the 
children,  with  the  old  family  horBe  and 
cart,  delivered  the  cream  as  regularly  in 
these    buBy    seasons    as    in    any    other. 

Under  the  old  system  occasionally  a 
can  of  milk  would  sour  and  be  returned, 
and  Sunday's  milk  could  hardly  ever  be 
kept  over.  With  the  separator  this  never 
occurred.  Thus  many  farmers  were  very 
much  surprised  to  find  their  monthly 
checkB  from  one-fourth  to  one-third 
larger  than  they  had  been  before. 

There  is  also  less  expense,  on  the  whole, 
attached  to  the  cream  system  ;  therefore 
the  farmer  secures  larger  net  returns  for 
his  butter  fat. 

When  the  separator  was  purchased, 
the  farmer  found  he  could  just  as  well 
milk  a.  few  more  cows.  He  had  plenty  of 
cans;  he  did  not  have  to  spend  a  half 
day  delivering  the  milk;  and,  besides, 
the  separator  had  to  be  paid  for.  The 
result  has  been  an  increased  number  of 
cows  on  the  farm  and  a  corresponding  in- 
crease in  income  per  farmer  all  over 
the  territory  under  consideration. — Ex

The  best  sheep  corrals  used  in  feeding 
are  constructed  of  fence  panels  held  to 
gether  by  wire,  with  posts  set  at  regular 
intervals  These  permit  the  construc- 
tion of  the  pen  in  any  shape  desired  and 
can  be  moved  quickly  and  easily  by  two 
or  three  men.  These  corrals  are  built  so 
the  sheep  have  long,  straight  runways, 
between  which  spaceB  are  left  for  the 
purpose  of  hauling  hay,  or  sections  of  the 
fence  are  set  in  zigzag  manner  so  that 
the  sheep  do  not  have  a  runway  of  great 
length,  for  Mexican  lambs  particularly 
are  active  and  if  allowed  will  take  too 
much  exercise  and  retard  fattening. 
These  movable  fences  are  generally  three 
boards  high.  The  lower  board  is  ten 
inches  in  height  with  a  seven  to  nine- 
inch  space  between  it  and  the  second 
board,  through  which  the  sheep  puts  its 
head  in  eating  hay,  which  ia  scattered  on 
the  outside  of  the  pens  on  the  ground,  as 
experience  has  Bhown  that  with  the  best 
of  feeding  racks  more  hay  is  wasted  in 
using  them  tba  1  when  the  forage  is  fed 
on  the  ground. 


The  butter  product  of  the  United  States, 
according  to  official  figures,  exceeded  last 
year  1,500,000,000  pounds.  The  number 
of  dairy  cows  was  ten  million,  showing 
that  the  average  cow  produced  only 
about  150  pounds  per  year,  or  about  three 
pounds  per  week,  which  ia  hardly  a  good 
return  for  the  care  and  feed.  The  average 
cow  certainly  is  not  a  remarkably  good 
paving  proposition,  and  in  order  to 
bring  the  figures  as  low  as  they  are  a 
great  many  of  the  cows  must  yield  less 
than  three  pounds  per  week.

Wore  calving.     Tbey    will    then    milk

Feed  the  little  ones  on  whole  milk  tor

nibble  at  hay  and  wheat  middlings 
then  add  skim  milk  gradually  till  at 
five  or  six  weeks  old  the  last  of  the  whole 
milk  is  withdrawn.  Feed  the  calves  well 
that  thev  may  develop  properly,  keeping 
an  good  feeding  till  they  have  reached 
their  maximum  growth  as  cows.  The 
abilitv  to  make  use  of  food  profitably 
measures  the  diSerence  between  the  pure 
bred  and  the  scrub. 

Never  mind  if  the  yearlings  do  show 
up  nice  and  plump,  for  if  dairy  bred  they 
will  not  become  beef  animals.  When 
thev  calve  heredity  will  assert  itself,  and 
ibey  will  rapidly  drop  into  true  dairy 
crm.  It  is  the  law  of  nature  that  like 
will  produce  like,  and  you  can't  readily 
turn  a  dairy  bred  heifer  into  a  beef  cow 
noi  a  genuine  scrub  into  a  thoroughbred. 
'Do  men  gather  grapes  of  thorns  or  figs 
of  thistles?" 

m 

All  the  creameries  and  eome  milk  deal- 
ers discriminate  against  brewers'  graine 
tor  the  reason  that  milk  produced  from 
them  is  of  inferior  keeping  qualities,  has 
an  objectionable  smell  and  taste  and  often 
causes  digestive  disorders  among  those 
who  consume  it.  This  is  true  only  when 
the  grains  are  fed  in  excessive  quantities 
and  are  more  or  less  decayed.  Dry  grains 
and  fresh  wet  grains  fed  in  moderate  j 
quantities  produce  milk  to  which  these] 
objections  do  not  apply.  The  danger  is 
from  wet  grains  which  are  commonly 
kept  in  boxes  or  pits,  where  they  are 
likely  to  decay.  The  dry  grains  of  beBt 
quality  are  of  light  yellowish-gray  color 
and  have  a  faint  aromatic  Bmell. 

It  is  self-evident  that  a  cow  in  full  flow 
of  milk  must  have  a  plentiful  supply  of 
water.  Milk  on  an  average  is  about  eighty- 
seven  per  cent  water  and  a  good  cow  often 
gives  fifty  or  more  pounds  of  milk  daily ; 
therefore  to  supplv  water  for  the  milk 
and  the  animal  economy  also  she  must 
drink  from  eighth  to  twenty-four  gallons 
every  twenty-four  hours.  The  condition 
of  much  water  drank  by  our  dairy  cows  is 
simply  abominable.  The  only  wonder  is 
ttiat  the  cows  survive,  as  well  as  the  con- 
sumers of  the  milk. 


Dust  Boxes,  Necessary. 

It  is  necessary  to  provide  dust  boxes 
for  the  fowls  during  the  winter  months  if 
tbey  are  to  be  kept  free  from  lice. 

Ifthe  soil  in  the  yards  is  naturally  dry 
and  porous,  abundant  opportunities  will 
be  had  for  dust  baths  during  the  warm 
summer  months,  but  during  the  late  fall, 
winter,  and  early  spring  some  artificial 
provision  must  be  made.  A  compara- 
tively small  box  will  answer  the  purpose 
if  the  attendant  is  willing  to  give  a  little 
attention  to  it  each  day.  These  boxes 
should  be  placed  so  that  they  will  receive 
some  sunshine  on  each  bright  day,  and 
be  kept  well  filled  with  loose  fine  earth. 
Road  dust  procured  during  the  hct,  dry

A  Beven-pound  pullet  at  six  months  old 
is  a  good  weight  for  a  grade  Plymouth 
Eock.  and  I  have  Been  lately  a  number  of 
pullets  of  this  kind  and  weight.  The  far- 
mers c  n  make  good  money  raising  grade 
stock  in  this  weight  at  present  prices. 
But  you  can  make  more  money  from  full- 
blood  pullets. 


Sorghum  makes  a  fine  food  for  cows, 
either  green  or  dry,  but  needstohefed 
in  connection  with  some  nitrogenous 
focd  such  as  clover  or  alfalfa  hay.  Bran 
or  oil  meal  fed  with  it  makes  a  good 
ration. 


The  fancy  cheeses  are 
demand,  and  the  industry  should  receive 
more  attention.  The  cheese  is  made  in 
kettles  now  manufactured  with  Bteam 
connection.  The  curd  is  cooked  at  a  high 
temperature,  and  a  large  waste  of  fat 
takes  place,  which  in  the  better  equipped 
factories  by  passing  the  whey  through  a 
separator  or  is  hand  skimmed.  The 
cheese  requires  from  Beventy-five  to  a 
hundred  days  for  curing.  First  it  is  put 
in  a  cellar  with  a  temperature  of  65  to  70 
degrees,  next  in  a  temperature  of  60  to  65 
degrees  and  finally  in  a  temperature  not 
above  60  degrees.  It  is  a  sweet  milk  pro- 
duction yet  there  are  certain  ferments 
apparently  demanded  for  developing  its 
flavor,  and  especially  the  eyes  for  which 
it  is  noted. 


The  milker  haB  much  to  do  with  mak- 
ing a  good  milk  cow  or  an  inferior  one 
Heifers  should  be  milked  carefully  to 
within  a  few  weeks  of  calving,  however 
small  the  amount  of  milk  given. 


Young  cows  should  be  kept  up  to 
their  full  capacity  for  eight  or  nine 
months  after  coming  fresh.  They  should 
form  the  habit  of  giving  all  the  milk 
they  are  capable  of  making.

A  calf  dropped  in  October  or  November 
and  fed  warm,  fresh  Bkim  milk  from  the 
separator,  with  the  addition  daily,  of  a 
spoonful  of  blood  meal,  a  pint  of  oats  and 
a  little  alfalfa  hay,  will  make  a  much 
better  growth  in  200  days,  than  if  born  in 
the  spring.  This  is  largely  due  to  six 
months'  exemption  from  the  torment  of 
flies.  It  should  be  added  that  the  calf 
must  be  kept  perfectly  dry,  clean  and 
comfortable,  which  is  not  a  hard  or  ex- 
pensive thing  to  do,  under  the  right 
method.  All  this  adds  much  to  the  value 
of  winter  milk.— Hoard's  Dairyman.

The  above  dam-?  in  this  younj  stallion's 
pedigree  are  the  choicest  The  first  dam  is  a 
young  brood  mare  with  a  record  or  2:185£;  the 
second  dam  is  the  dam  or  4  in  the  list  with 
recordsof  3:18Ji.  2:J8?i,  2:24*4  and  2:27,  respec- 
tively; theihird  dam  was  the  dam  of  5  with 
records,  2:21^,  2:2ljK,  2;26\£  etc,  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast,  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Chief 
and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mia;  thefourihdam  was  the  dam  if  McCurdy's 
Hambietonian  2:26%,  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire  Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood, etc.  Hence  from  his  dams  have  come 
two  great  families— the  Belmont-Nutwood 
and  the  Pancoast-Patron-Patronage-Prodi- 
gal  families  The  dam  of  the  sire  and  the 
dams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sires.  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  dam  of  Cupid  2:18,  who 
produced  we.l;  Lady  Bunker,  the  dam  of  Guy 
Wilkes,  was  the  dam  of  Wm  L.,  sire  of  Axtel, 
and  El  Mahdl  2:25^5  and  Declaration,  who 
were  each  tne  sire  of  several  good  ones:  Dolly, 
the  dam  of  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
9:25 tf  and  Thorndale  2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  colt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  holders.  They  have  also  produced 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
levelheaded  and  the  largest  money  winners 
in  the  trotting  world.  The  first  four  trace  in 
the  male  line  to  Hambietonian  10  through 
ancestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandsires.  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  six  crosses  of  Hambietonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  producing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  each  of  whiohgoes  to  him  through 
dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 


Individually,  this  young  stallion,  DILLCARA.  is  as  good  as  h's  pedigree.  He  is  of  the  stout, 
blooky  type,  without  coarseness  and  he  is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  "f  natural  speed.  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  haodsof  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecting  that  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  willbe  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney.  Director.  Direct  and 
Nutwood  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 
purposes. 

DILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Francisco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SERVICE  FEE  *40

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    TOU    ABE,    BEAD    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  In  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks— a  few  dark  greys, 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  w&  Imported  has  a  fine,  smal 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  in  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  clean  in  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  black  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  is  much  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  flrst-olass  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  r-art  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  endurance.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as ''flne  as  peaches,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  clean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  the  brightest  pro3peot  for  good  crops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity In  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  F.  Singmaster,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
is  proud  to  say  we  havehad  extremely  good  suocess  in  making  sales.  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales,  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expect  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  line  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  b3tter.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stockof  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  discount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

ideal,  be  sure  of  their  breeding  and  then  6end  them 
to  the  very  best  stallions  of  that  breed  that  can  be 
found  and  which  have  the  qualities  you  wish  to  repro- 
duce. The  different  types  of  horses  have  been  built 
up  for  different  purposes,  and  are  the  result  of  many 
years  of  study  and  effort.  Don't  imagine  that  in  one 
cross  you  can  improve  on  any  one  of  them  by  mixing" 
the  breeds.  It  can't  be  done,  although  men  have  lost 
fortunes  and  will  continue  to  lose  them  trying  todo  it. 
The  Hackney  is  a  good  horse  in  his  place.  So  is  the 
French  and  German  Coacher.  The  standard  bred 
xrotting  horse  is  the  best  all  round  horse  in  the  world 
and  these  are  trotting  families  that  have  coach  horse 
conformation  and  qualifications  A  new  breed  that 
will  be  ideal  may  be  obtained  by  mixing  the  blood  of 
these  breeds,  but  it  will  take  at  least  fifty  years  of 
constant  breeding  to  do  it.

GREEN'S  RUFUS The  Baywood  Stud,  San  Mateo 


A  QUESTION  submitted  to  this  journal  by  several 
of  its  readers  during  the  past  few  weeks  that  is 
a  difficult  one  to  answer,  is  whether  it  is  advisable  to 
breed  trotting  mares  to  French  Coach,  German  Coach, 
Hackney  or  Standard  Trotting  stallions,  if  the  aim  is 
to  produce  carriage  horses.  We  shall  assume  that 
every  person  who  has  asked  this  question  has  in  his 
mind  the  type  he  desires  to  produce.  If  his  mares 
are  of  that  type,  or  near  it,  the  question  naturally 
arises,  where  did  they  get  the  qualifications?  It  is 
not  likely  any  of  our  questioners  are  thinking  of 
breeding  a  common  plug  mare  to  any  stallion  no 
matter  how  high  class  with  the  expectation  of  getting 
a  Sue  carriage  horse.  The  day  has  gone  by  when 
breeding  ventures  are  started  with  scrub  stock. 
Having  a  good  mare,  however,  one  that  has  some  of 
the  qualifications  desired,  ascertain  if  poss'ble  the 
source  from  whence  they  came.  If  her  breeding  is 
known  it  will  be  easy  to  ascertain  which  of  her  an- 
cestors she  looks  like.  If  she  resembles  her  dam, 
breed  her  to  a  stallion  of  the  dam's  strain  of  blood  that 
has  the  same  qualities.  If  it  is  from  her  6ire  that  she 
inherits  her  good  looks,  style  and  action,  breed  her 
to  a  horse  of  the  same  line  of  blood  that  suits  your 
ideas.  If  she  is  a  trotting  bred  mare,  she  must  have 
inherited  the  qualities  she  possesses  from  ancestors 
of  that  breed,  and  to  mate  her  with  a  coach  stallion 
of  another  breed  would  not  be  advancing.  If  she  has  a 
preponderance  of  French  coach  blood  in  her,  pick  out 
the  best  French  coach  horse  you  can  find  to  mate  her 
with.  If  it  is  of  German  coach  blood  hunt  up  a  German 
horse.  Always  Insist  however  that  the  horse  you 
mate  your  mare  with  is  pure  bred.  Never  breed  to  a 
cross-bred  horse  If  you  want  to  establish  a  type,  as 
while  a  foal  may  result  from  such  matings  once  in  a 
while  that  is  just  what  one  wants,  the  general  result 
is  bad.  Breed  up  all  the  time.  Get  your  ideal  fixed 
in  your  mind,  select  your  mares  according   to   that 


THE  HORSE-MEAT  EGG  will  no  longer  be  a 
portion  of  the  daily  breakfast  in  California.  For 
years  past  old  and  decrepit  horses  have  been  shipped 
to  Petaluma  fro_n  all  parts  of  the  State  consigned  to  a 
crematory  that  made  a  specialty  of  furnishing  cooked 
and  dessicated  horse  flesh  to  poultry  raisers.  The 
crematory  business  waB  a  good  paying  one  as  the 
price  paid  for  an  old  horse  was  not  over  $5  and  in 
addition  to  the  price  received  for  hide,  hair  and 
teeth,  the  cooked  horse  flesh  more  than  paid  the 
expenses  of  butchering  and  cooking.  A  law  passed 
by  the  last  legislature  and  signed  by  the  Governor 
has  made  it  a  misdemeanor  to  feed  horse  flesh  to 
chickens,  and  the  Petaluma  egg  will  no  longer  sug- 
gest to  the  partaker  thereof  that  he  may  be  eating 
a  nutrient  that  can  be  traced  to  the  same  old 
Dobbin  that  has  carried  him  on  his  back  a  thousand 
times. 


FUMES  from  the  Selby  smelting  works  at  Crockett 
on  San  Francisco  Bay,  are  said  to  be  the  cause 
of  the  death  of  many  horses  pastured  on  the  hills 
near  that  big  establishment.  Quite  a  number  of  horse 
owners  who  have  lost  animals  recently  have  had 
autopsies  performed  by  veterinarians  and  if  it  is  found 
that  the  deaths  were  due  to  the  grass  being  poisoned 
by  fumes  from  the  smelting  works  suits  will  be  com- 
menced against  the  Selby  Smelting  Company.  As  no 
other  animals  but  horses  have  been  effected,  however, 
and  cows  and  goats  are  pastured  on  the  same  lands 
where  the  horses  have  died,  the  probabilities  are  that 
autopsies  will  show  that  the  deaths  have  resulted 
from  other  causes. 


A  Word  tor  Harness  Racing. 

Victoria,  B.  C,  April  4,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — I  have  read 
the  article  in  the  last  issue  of  your  paper  relative  to 
the  new  organization  of  light  harness  horse  racing  at 
Los  Angeles,  California,  and  I  can  assure  you  that  the 
reading  of  that  item  gave  me  much  pleasure.  Los 
Angeles  is  the  most  ideal  place  in  the  world  to  train 
race,  and  breed  harness  horses.  The  Agricultural 
track  is  one  of  the  best  and  safest  tracks  in  America. 
The  people  of  Los  Angeles  love  harness  horse  racing; 
the  people  of  Los  Angeles  detest  grafting  on  their 
race  track,  cinch  bookmaking,  touts  and  all  the  graft- 
ing propositions  that  heretofore  did  so  much  to  make 
grass  grow  on  so  many  race  tracks. 

I  hope  that  since  the  best  class  of  business  men  in 
Los  Angeles  have  seen  fit  to  take  up  the  harness 
horse  amusement  enterprise  that  the  business  men  of 
every  town  and  city  in  California,  Oregon,  Washing- 
ton and  British  Columbia  will  get  in  line,  assume  con 
trol  of  their  race  tracks  and  conduct  the  harness 
horse  racing  proposition  just  as  they  do  their  own 
mercantile  business.  Harness  horse  racing,  when 
properly  conducted,  is  amusing  to  the  public,  and 
what  is  more  healthful  than  to  sit  in  a  comfortable 
grandstand  on  a  pleasant  day  and  watch  and  enjoy 
good  fields  of  harness  horses  contesting  either  for 
money  or  glory.  People  pack  theatres  full  from 
orchestra  to  garret  in  poorly  ventilated  buildings  at 
fancy  prices  and  go  home  late  at  night  with  head- 
aches. Men  pay  high  prices  to  see  hippodrome  prize 
fights,  cruel  dog  and  chicken  fights,  when  horse  rac- 
ing, the  most  exciting  and  health  givirg  of  all  out 
door  sports,  might  more  easily  be  enjoyed  I  hope  to 
see  it  become  the  most  popular  and  best  managed  of 
all  amusements.    Yours  truly,       C.  A.  Harrison. 


Chance  to  Sell  in  Chicago. 

Monroe  Salisbury  will  take  a  carload  of  horses  to 
the  big  Chicago  HorseSale  to  take  place  at  the  Union 
Stock  Yards  in  that  city  May  8th.  The  horses 
already  engaged  are  consigned  by  Geo.  A.  Davis  of 
Pleasanton.  There  is  room  for  several  more,  and 
here  is  an  opportunity  for  owners  to  take  advantage 
of  the  present  good  condition  of  the  market  in  Chi- 
cago. The  Chicago  Horse  Sale  Company,  of  which 
Palmer  L.  Clark  is  president,  is  a  thoroughly  reliable 
institution.  Its  last  sale  was  the  best  ever  held  in 
the  West  Chicago  is  one  of  the  best  markets  in 
the  world  for  harness  horses  at  the  present  time. 


Angle  for  the  M.  &  M. 

For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  trotting  turf 
it  is  announced  that  a  horse  known  to  be  capable  of  a 
mile  around  2:05  will  be  started  in  the  slow  classes 
through  the  Grand  Circuit,  writes  Henry  Ten  Eyck 
White. 

Angle,  a  daughter  of  Axtell,  is  the  trotter  in  ques- 
tion, and  the  statement  comes  from  Cleveland  where 
she  is  owned  and  trained,  that  the  chestnut  mare  will 
be  named  in  the  M.  &M.  stake  at  Detroit,  which  means 
that  she  will  be  campaigned.  She  will  be  fitted  and 
driven  by  George  W.  Saunders,  who  has  had  Angle  in 
hand  for  about  a  year,  she  having  been  purchased  in 
the  spring  of  1904  by  Calvary  Morris  of  Cleveland,  and 
turned  over  to  Saunders  when  she  came  North  from 
Selma,  Ala.,  where  she  had  been  wintered. 

In  the  fall  of  1903  Angle  was  trained  at  the  Lexing- 
ton track,  and  during  the  trotting  meeting  at  the  Ken- 
tucky town  showed  some  pretty  fast  miles  for  a 
"green"  horse,  there  being  no  doubt  at  that  time  of 
her  ability  to  sfep  the  distance  around  2:10  A  short 
time  after  that  the  news  was  sent  out  from  Lexington 
that  Angle  had  trotted  in  2:06|,  and  it  was  after  this 
sensational  work  that  she  was  sent  south  for  the 
winter. 

When  the  mare  came  into  Saunders'  hands  it  soon 
developed  that  she  would  be  better  for  a  thorough 
education  before  being  raced,  and  all  last  summer  and 
fall  she  was  handled  solely  with  that  idea  in  mind. 
That  she  had  a  lot  of  speed  en  tap  all  the  time  was 
evident  from  the  first  time  she  was  given  her  head, 
and  by  July  there  was  no  doubt  about  her  being  the 
making  of  a  2:05  trotter  if  only  her  speed  could  be 
utilized  D:rectly  following  the  Detroit  meeting  there 
was  a  matinee  at  Cleveland  and  that  afternoon  Saun- 
ders drove  Angle  a  public  half  mile  in  1:00 J,  she  being 
jogged  from  the  wire  to  the  half  mile  pole  and  stepped 
home  at  the  clip  named.  This  performance  opened 
the  eyes  of  some  people  who  had  never  been  able  to 
swallow  the  reported  2:06|  mile  at  Lexington,  and  it 
was  admitted  on  all  hands  that  if  Angle  became 
"mannered  "  she  would  have  the  trotting  stakes  for 
green  horses  this  year  at  her  mercy 

But  at  that  time,  and  even  later  there  was  much 
room  for  improvement  in  the  track  actions  of  Angle. 
At  times  she  had  notions  of  her  own  about  trotting 
when  asked  to  do  so,  and  I  have  seen  her  caper 
along  the  better  part  of  an  afternoon  without  doing 
much  in  speed  line.  Lou  Dillon  was  another  of  the 
same  sort  the  first  season  Millard  Saunders  had  her 
over  here  from  California,  and  yet  the  only  time  she 
was  asked  to  start  against  another  horse  her  man. 
ners  were  the  best. 

Saunders  took  Angle  along  when  he  made  a  short 
campaign  last  fall,  and  she  must  have  Bhown  him 
something  on  that  trip  that  made  the  veteran  reins- 
man  think  she  was  ready  to  go  for  the  money, 
otherwise  she  would  not  be  out  this  year. 

Although  Saunders  has  not  been  especially  promi- 
nent for  the  last  decade  he  has  been  in  the  swim  all 
the  time  with  headquarters  at  the  Cleveland  track, 
and  there  is  no  better  posted  or  more  thorough  horse- 
man. Years  ago  he  raced  Clingstone,  giving  that  horse 
his  mark  of  2:14  to  high  wheels,  and  previous  to  that 
he  had  campaigned  in  the  Middle  West  with  William 
H.  (a  great  four-year-old  in  his  day),  and  others  of 
less  note. 

Saunders  comes  of  a  family  of  horsemen,  his  father, 
who  lived  at  Clyde,  N.  Y.,  having  at  one  time  owned 
an  interest  in  Dexter  as  well  as  raced  other  trotters  of 
those  days.  Mr.  Morris,  who  owns  Angle,  is  a  promi- 
nent Cleveland  business  man  who  has  owned  a  number 
of  good  horses,  his  most  notable  performer  being 
the  handsome  Axtell  mare  Elloree2:08£,  that  Saunders 
raced  for  him,  and  that  Mr.  Morris  himself  drove  a 
mile  to  wagon  in  2:10.  Possibly  what  Eilore9  did 
in  the  trotting  line  disposed  Mr.  Morris  favorably 
towards  the  Axtells,  but  after  the  mare  was  sold 
nothing  in  the  market  attracted  his  attention  until 
Angle  began  to  be  talked  about 

If  Angle  acts  well  in  the  Detroit  race  it  looks  as  if 
the  winner's  end  of  the  $10,000  purse  was  already  as 
good  as  in  her  owner's  pocket,  as  she  could  un- 
doubtedly have  been  fitted  to  trot  a  mile  in  2:06  or 
better  last  summer,  whereas  the  fastest  mile  ever 
trotted  in  the  M.  and  M.  was  the  2:08 J  of  Eleata 
several  years  ago,  and  that,  also,  was  the  only  time 
2:10  was  beaten  in  the  race.  A  2:06  trotter  that  is 
good  headed  and  will  race  would  have  practically  a 
walk  over  on  the  form  of  the  race  In  all  the  years 
it  has  been  contested. 


The  meeting  of  the  Pacific  District  Board  of  Ap- 
peals of  the  National  Trotting  Association,  which 
was  called  for  April  13th,  was  postponed  until  May 
10th,  owing  to  the  unavoidable  absence  of  two  of  the 
Board's  members.

I  April  15,  1906 


The  Breeders  Association  has  changed  the  2.08  class 
pace  to  a  2:09  class  in  response  to  numerous  requests. 

John  Browning,  who  it  is  said  is  the  inventor  of 
racing  hopples,  died  recently  at  his  home  in  Indian- 
apolis.   

On  the  front  page  of  last  week's  Chicaqo  Horseman 
was  a  fine  picture  of  Briquette,  the  Zombro  filly 
recently  sold  to  Samuel  Barnard  of  Colorado  Springs 
by  Mr.  M.  A.  Murphy  of  this  city. 

Terry  McGovern,  the  ex-champion  bantam  pugulist, 
now  owns  Geo.  H.  Ray  2:23}  by  Chimes  that  has  been 
converted  to  pacing  and  .vill  be  entered  in  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  stake  at  Detroit. 

Horses  imported  into  the  Argentine  Republic  are 
detained  in  quarantine  for  eight  days  and  are  tested 
with  mallein.  Should  there  be  any  signs  of  reaction 
to  the  test  the  animal  is  condemned  and   slaughtered. 

Election  Bells,  the  colt  by  MoDbells  that  George 
Peringer,  of  Pendleton,  OregOD,  purchased  at  the 
Palo  Alto  sale  in  this  city  last  year,  Is  being  trained 
by  James  Erwin  at  Walla  Walla  and  is  showing  up 
well.  

Here  is  a  mating  that  should  result  in  two  minute 
speed.  A  four  year  old  mare  by  Star  Pointer  1:59}, 
d  im  a  full  sister  to  Ashland  Wilkes  2:17},  sire  of  John 
R.  Gentry  2:00V,  has  been  bred  to  John  A.  McKerron 
2:04*.  

Frank  Frazier,  of  Chehalis  2:04}  fame,  is  handling  a 
few  young  trotters  and  pacers  at  Pendleton,  Oregon, 
this  year.  Umahalis  2:15}  pacing,  has  taken  the 
diagonal  gait  and  is  in  a  fair  way  to  be  as  last  that 
way  as  the  other.         

There  are  a  couple  of  three-year-olds  by  Nearest 
2:22}  in  training  at  San  Jose  that  will  make  him  the 
sire  "of  two  2:10  pacers  this  yearif  no  accident  happens 
them.  Both  are  fine  lookers,  clean  gaited,  and  as  fast 
as  the  proverbial  ghost. 


Down  at  Tulare  there  is  a  fast  green  pacing  mare 
by  Rajah  10154,  son  of  Sultan  that  is  showing  speed 
enough  to  put  her  among  the  money  winning  pros- 
pects. She  is  owned  by  Mr.  Sangster  of  that  place 
and  recently  worked  a  mile  in  2:141  and  repeated  in 
2:13J,  a  pretty  good  showing  for  one  that  is  entirely 
green.  

William  Hogoboom  of  Walla  Walla  has  had  his 
good  Diablo  colt  Teddy,  that  took  a  record  of  2:21} 
last  year,  registered  as  Teddy  A.  40787.  Teddy  is  out 
of  the  o-reat  broodmare  Elmorine,  dam  of  Dos  Minutos 
2:30,  winner  of  the  Stanford  Stake,  and  of  Lena  A. 
2:21 },  winner  of  the  Occident  Stake.  She  is  also  the 
dam  of  two  more  in  the  list. 


The  first  of  the  sales  of  saddlers  sent  up  by  Harbin- 
son  ic  Co.,  of  Kentucky,  to  New  York  showed  that 
the  demand  is  as  keen  as  ever.  About  thirty  head 
were  disposed  of,  the  highest  price  being  $1045  and 
the  average  slightly  over  $500. 


A.  C.  Ruby  of  Oregon  has  gone  to  Europe  and  will 
bring  back  with  him  thirty  or  more  head  of  Bolgians 
and  Percherons  which  he  will  exhibit  at  the  Lewis  & 
Clark  Fair  at  Portland.  He  expects  to  reach  Portland 
with  his  consignment  by  the  first  of  July. 

Nora  MeKinney,  dam  of  the  Breeders  Futurity  and 
Occident  Stake  winner  Almaden  2:22},  has  a  handsome 
black  filly  at  foot  by  Lecco  2:09|  that  was  born  last 
Saturday.  It  is  nominated  in  the  Breeders  Futurity 
for  foals  of  1905,  and  has  been  named  Miss  Ethel. 


James  Thompson  has  shown  the  fastest  half  at  the 
Pleasanton  track  this  year  with  the  four  year-old 
pacer  Albuta  2:24*  by  Altivo.  It  was  on  Tuesday  of 
this  week  and  the  half  was  in  1:01  with  the  final  eighth 
in  144  seconds.  Albuta  is  undoubtedly  one  of  the 
fastest  pacers  ever  trained  in  California  and  is  headed 
for  a  mark  close  to  two  minutes. 


The  sons  and  daughters  of  Charles  Derby  are  in 
nearly  every  instance  a  type  of  horse  that  is  admired 
by  all  horsemen  who  breed  for  both  the  track  and 
sale  ring,  as  thev  have  size  and  good  looks  and  are 
either  pure  gaited  trotters  or  pacers.  Charles  Derby 
is  standing  at  $50  the  season,  a  low  fee  for  a  tried  sire 
that  was  a  high  class  race  horse  and  has  produced 
four  with  race  records  below  2:10.  There  is  excellent 
pasturage  at  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  where  he  is 
the  premier  sire. 

Monterey  2:09}  will  have  several  additions  to  his  list 
this  year  and  they  will  be  in  the  fast  classes,  too.  Mr. 
Williams'  fast  stallion  is  getting  more  popular  with 
breeders  every  year  and  although  his  oldest  colts  are 
only  five  years  old  and  not  numerous,  as  he  was  not 
regularly  in  the  stud  until  1902,  there  are  fast 
youngsters  by  him  cropping  out  in  all  parts  of  the 
country.  He  has  already  sired  a  four-year-old  with  a 
record  of  2:08},  and  the  only  two  of  his  get  ever 
started  have  standard  records. 


At  the  late  Chicago  horse  sale  the  Patchen  Wilkes 
Farm  consignment  of  21  head  brought  a  total  of 
$11,285,  averaging  $537.75  per  head.  Horace  Onward, 
one  of  the  handsomest  and  best-bred  pacers  ever  sold 
in  Chicago,  brought  $5,500,  going  to  Senator  Thomp- 
son, who  was  well  pleased  with  his  purchase  and  re- 
fused a  big  profit  before  returning  heme. 


Victor  Verhilac  has  just  received  through  J.  I. 
Sparrow,  agent,  a  new  Miller  sulkey  that  is  the  very 
latest  model  of  this  excellent  vehicle.  It  has  two  extra 
trusses  that  the  owners  claim  make  the  frame  the 
stillest  of  any  sulky  made,  and  yet  do  not  add  to  the 
weight,  as  this  one  weighs  but  30  pounds,  wheels  and 
all.    Mr.  Verhilac  is  much  pleased  with  it. 

There  is  an  individuality  about  the  sons  and  daugh- 
ters of  Seymour  Wilkes  2:08}  that  cannot  be  mistaken 
by  anyone  familiar  with  this  horse's  get.  They 
average  18  hands  a6  soon  as  matured  and  will  not  vary 
much  from  1100  pounds.  They  are  well  made,  sound 
and  very  speedy  horses,  their  speed  improving  year 
after  year.  Seymour  Wilkes  is  a  profitable  horse  to 
breed  to.  

The  Los  Angeles  program  will  be  out  next  week. 
Secretary  Bruner  aod  Ed.  R.  Smith  of  the  association 
will  visit  all  the  training  tracks  in  the  State  before 
entries  close,  soliciting  entrieB  to  the  various  classes. 
The  Los  Angeles  meeting  will  be  a  hummer  and  every 
horseman  in  this  section  of  the  state  who  can  possibly 
afford  it  should  take  a  trip  to  that  city  during  the 
first  week  in  July.         

It  is  not  human  nature  to  be  satisfied.  While 
trainers  and  owners  and  turf  writers  in  America  are 
continually  asking  for  a  new  system  of  harness  racing 
by  which  horses  can  be  handicapped  by  distance  or 
weight,  as  in  Australia,  word  comes  from  Australia 
that  the  horsemen  there  are  not  satisfied  with  their 
own  system  and  are  advocating  adoption  of  the 
American  system  of  handicapping  by  records. 


A  driving  mare  owned  by  C.  J.  Speer  of  Sutter 
county  recently  gave  birth  to  twin  mule  colts,  which 
Is  the  second  lime  be  has  done  such  a  thing  since  Mr. 
.Speer  owned  her.  It  might  be  thought  the  mare  was 
from  Missouri,  but  such  is  not  the  case  as  she  is 
California  bred. 

The  death  of  Direct  2:05*  is  leading  breeders  to 
inquire  about  his  sons.  The  fast  stallion  I  Direct  2:12}, 
one  of  the  best  bred  of  all  Direct's  sons,  is  making  the 
season  at  Woodland.  His  colts  are  grand  lookers  and 
although  none  are  old  enough  to  race,  they  are  show- 
ing great  speed. 

When  Scott  Hudson  was  in  California  last  wlDter 
one  would  have  thought  to  hear  him  talk  that  he  and 
all  his  friends  had  been  losing  money  for  years  on  the 
Grand  Circuit.  Nevertheless  Hudson  is  at  it  again 
and  has  a  string  of  twelve  or  fifteen  horses  working  at 
the  Lexington  track.  

Davisville  horsemen  will  soon  have  a  track  to  train 
and  race  on.  Mr.  I.  B.  Hughes  has  leased  the  N. 
Miner  tract  of  land  just  east  of  the  town,  and  a  driv- 
ing club  will  be  organized  to  build  a  track  and  fix  up 
the  grounds  for  athletic  performances,  base  ball,  foot 
ball,  blue  rock  shooting,  etc. 


During  the  last  week  in  March  the  United  States 
transport  Gen.  Dix  left  this  port  for  Manilla  with 
2500  tons  of  hay  in  her  hold  for  the  Government 
horses  in  the  Philippine  Islands.  This  is  about  the 
only  '  demand"  there  is  for  hay  as  in  the  local  market 
the  supply  greatly  exceeds  the  call.  The  choicest 
wheat  hay  now  sells  at  $13  per  ton  in  San  Francisco 
acording  to  Scott  &  Magner's  weekly  circular. 

Dr.  C.  D.  Gray,  of  St.  Louis,  who  has  been  on  the 
Coast  this  winter  trying  to  organize  a  circuit  of  horse 
shows  for  next  winter  has  succeeded  in  getting 
encouragement  from  the  breeders  and  owners  of 
show  horses  that  warrants  him  in  announcing  that  a 
circuit  of  shows  will  be  given  next  winter,  opening  at 
Los  Angeles  and  taking  in  Pasadena,  Sacramento, 
Oakland,  San  Francisco,  Portland,  Seattle,  Spokane, 
Salt  Lake  and  Denver. 


Id  casting  about  for  a  stallion  to  breed  your  mareB 
to  this  year  don't  overlook  Greco,  son  of  MeKinney 
and  Mleen  2:26*,  dam  of  three  in  the  list,  by  Anteeo, 
second  dam  Lou  Milton,  the  dam  of  Lou  Dillon  1:58}, 
champion  trotter  of  the  world.  He  is  at  Pleasanton 
in  charge  of  William  Johnson. 


Lynda  Oak  2:18*,  the  mare  that  James  W.  Rea,  of 
San  Joee,  presented"  to  a  neice,  who  resides  in  Illinois, 
two  yearB  ago,  will  be  bred  this  year  to  Col.  Cochran 
2:10}.  Lynda  Oak  is  the  dam  of  Dr  Frasne  2:12*, 
Vendome  2:18}  and  Dr.  Frasso's  Sister  2:25*.  Col. 
CoohraD  is  by  Shadeland  Onward  out  of  Sally  Toler 
2:06} .  

Two  fast  pacers  and  two  fast  trotters  have  been 
sent  to  Zibbell  &  Son  for  sale.  All  are  fine  roadsters 
and  two  of  them  will  do  to  race,  us  thoy  have  a  very 
hif  n  rate  of  speed.  These  horses  are  owned  by 
parties  who  bred  tbem  but  have  no  use  for  them  at 
present.  Any  one  who  wants  a  good  horse  at  bis  own 
p-  ,ce  should  call  at  the  new  Zibbell  barn  back  of  the 
'    iutes  and  make  an  offer  on  one  or  more  of  tbem. 


Mr.  M.  B.  Mosher,  of  Los  Angeles,  Cal.  has  sold 
this  three-year-old  pacer  Gluck  by  Zombro  2:11,  dam 
Scapoose  2:16}  by  Roy  Wilkes,  to  Joseph  Barnett  of 
Albuquerque,  New  Mexico,  for  $1500.  Her  name  will 
be  changed  to  Clara  B.  and  Mr.  Barnett  will  race  her. 
This  filly  will  not  be  three  years  old  until  July  4th 
this  year, but  showed  a  mile  in  2:14  at  the  Los  Angeles 
track  last  week  and  this  performance  led  to  her  pur- 
chase by  Mr.  Barnett.  She  is  a  fine  young  mare  and 
will  be  a  2:10  performer  with  ordinary  luck. 


There  were  1123  mares  nominated  in  the  Kentucky 
Futurity  for  the  foals  of  mares  bred  in  1904.  Walnut 
Farm  was  the  largest  nominator  with  sixty  mares. 
Kentucky  nominators  were  the  most  numerous.  382 
mares  being  named  from  that  State.  Only  six  Cali- 
fornia mares  were  named,  but  a«  the  Kentucky 
Futurity  is  not  advertised  west  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains  this  is  not  singular.  Twenty-eight  of  the 
mares  bred  to  MeKinney  last  year  were  named  in  the 
stake.  

One  of  the  handsomest  and  best  bred  mares  in  Cali- 
fornia is  Alfredatta,  a  chestnut  mare  bred  at  Oakwood 
Park  Stock  Farm,  and  now  the  property  of  Mr.  F.  S. 
Granger  of  San  Jose.  Alfredatta  is  fifteen  yea-s  old. 
She  is  by  Steinway  2:253,  dam  Etna  G.  by  Guy  Wilkes 
2:15},  second  dam  Alia  by  Almont  33,  third  dam  by 
Brignote  77,  fourth  dam  by  the  thoroughbred  horse 
Cripple,  son  of  Medoc.  Alfredatta  is  due  to  foal  in  a 
few  days  to  Nearest  2:22},  own  brother  to  John  A. 
McKerron  2:041. 

The  Humboldt  Standard  of  last  week  says:  "Dr. 
Gaynor  picked  up  a  bargain  in  Ferndale  yesterday 
when  he  purchased  a  four  year-old  Wayland  W. 
gelding,  first  dam  by  Poscora  Hayward,  second  dam 
by  The  Grand  Moor,  third  dam  by  Overland,  fourth 
dam  by  Montezuma,  fifth  dam  by  Boston.  Besides 
grand  breeding,  the  colt  has  the  further  ad  vantage 
of  having  been  raised  in  the  mountains,  the  combina- 
tion of  breeding  and  mountain  raising  giving  him  a 
race  horse  barrel,  grand  legs  and  good  feet.  The 
doctor,  who  believes  that  'the  knocker'  has  done 
more  than  any  other  class  to  help  him  personally  to 
the  good  things  of  the  earth,  say6  that  he  would'  be 
pleased  to  have  the  hammers  started  on  this  young 
horse  at  once." 


Santa  Rosa  people  are  aoxious  to  have  the  Breeders 
meeting  there  and  have  written  to  Secretary  Kelley, 
asking  to  be  informed  of  the  date  of  the  Dext  Directors 
meeting  that  they  may  seDd  a  representative  who 
will  be  prepared  to  make  a  definite  proposition  for  the 
meeting  to  be  held  at  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm 
track.  Petaluma  horsemen  are  also  ready  to  make 
an  offer  for  the  meeting,  and  Fresno  has  already  made 
on6.  It  might  be  well  for  the  Breeders  to  hold  meet- 
ings at  all  these  places  and  thus  help  swell  the  circuit 
to  respectable  proportions. 

Our  Yolo  county  readers  should  not  miss  the  oppor- 
tunity to  breed  a  few  good  mares  to  the  Woodland 
Stock  Farm  stallions,  Nushagak  and  Prince  Ansel 
this  year  A  visit  to  the  farm  will  prove  to  anyone 
that  both  stallions  are  the  producers  of  high  class 
colts  and  fillies  and  those  who  look  them  over  will 
agree  that  a  more  uniform  or  handsomer  collection  of 
fast  young  trotters  never  filled  a  row  of  stalls  on  any 
trotting  track.  Mr.  Chas.  Spencer,  Superintendent 
of  the  farm,  is  always  ready  to  show  visitors  around 
and  give  any  information  desired. 

C.  C.  Crippen,  of  Mayfield,  contemplates  owning 
"the  best  bred  colt."  He  has  a  two-year-old  filly 
by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16},  dam  Novelist  (2)2:27  by 
Norval  2:14|,  second  dam  Elsie,  dam  of  five  in  the  list 
by  Gen.  Benton,  third  dam  Elaine  2:20,  dsm  of  four 
in  the  list  by  Messenger  Duroc,  fourth  dam  Green 
Mountain  Maid,  dam  of  nine  in  the  list,  by  Harry 
Clay  45.  Mr.  Crippen  proposes  to  breed  this  filly 
to  Galindo,  son  of  MeKinney  2:11}  and  Elsie,  second 
dam  of  his  filly.  The  great  broodmare  crosses  in 
the  pedigree  of  the  prospective  foal  will  be  hard  to 
equal  

Iran  Alto  2:12}  Is  one  of  the  best  bred  horses  ever 
foaled  on  Senator  Stanford's  great  Palo  Alto  farm. 
He  is  by  the  greatest  race  horse  the  Senator  ever 
bred — Palo  Alto  2:08f,  and  out  of  Elaine  2:20,  the 
champion  three-year-old  of  her  day.  Under  H.  S. 
Hogoboom's  management  at  Woodland,  Iran  Alto  is 
receiving  a  large  patronage.  His  produce  are  show- 
ing lots  of  speed  wherever  they  are  in  training,  and 
as  he  has  already  produced  winners,  bis  first  son  tak- 
ing a  record  of  2:12}  and  having  five  more  in  the  list, 
he  can  be  classed  as  one  of  the  successful  young  sires 
of  this  State.  

There  are  nearly  three  hundred  horses  at  Pleasan- 
tOD,  and  the  handsomest  among  them  is  a  black  mare 
called  Mayola  that  is  in  Dan  Misner's  string.  She  is 
by  Vallota  3084,  out  of  Brownie  by  Anti  Coolie,  son  of 
Anteeo,  secODd  dam  Beauty  by  Anteeo,  and  third 
dam  Belle  by  Williamson's  Belmont.  Mayola  is  with- 
out any  exaggeration  one  of  the  most  beautiful  trot- 
ting mares  ever  seen  on  the  Pleasanton  track.  She 
has  had  very  little  training  but  has  trotted  a  half  in 
1:10  and  is  a  good  prospect.  Her  owner  is  not  a  race 
horse  man,  and  wants  to  sell  her.  If  some  one  wants 
a  buggy  mare  that  will  make  everybody  "rubber"  as 
he  drives  by,  this  is  the  opportunity  to  get  one,  and 
if  she  is  trained  and  raced  she  should  get  some  of  the 
money,  as  she  is  naturally  fast. 

That  section  of  the  city  just  north  of  Golden  Gate 
Park  has  long  been  in  favor  with  horsemen  who  enjoy 
driving  over  the  beautiful  park  roads  as  a  place  for 
stabling  their  animals,  but  stall  room  has  been  at  a 
premium  there  for  a  long  time.  The  Zibbell  Stable, 
recently  erected  by  J.  W.  Zibbell  &  Son  on  11th 
avenue,  just  back  of  the  Chutes,  has  partially  sup- 
plied this  demand  for  stalls  in  that  locality,  as  while 
there  are  fifty  fioe  stalls  within  the  building,  they  are 
nearly  all  filled,  although  the  stables  have  been  com- 
pleted but  a  few  weeks.  There  is  no  neater  and  more 
complete  'horse  hotel''  in  San  Francisco  than  this 
one,  and  the  fact  that  a  healthier  location  does  not 
exist  anywhere,  doubtless  has  led  many  to  seDd  their 
horses  there,  and  when  the  care  and  attention  given 
horses  is  considered,  (ihe  popularity  of  the  place  is 
not  surprising.  Mr.  Zibbell  and  his  son  Willard  are 
both  practical  horsemen  and  trainers  and  are  getting 
a  number  in  shape  to  race  on  the  circuit  this  year. 
These  horses  are  being  worked  every  day  on  the  park 
roads  and  the  speedway  and  will  be  taken  to  one  of 
the  mile  tracks  sometime  this  month.  The  Zibbells 
have  quite  a  number  of  horses  consigned  to  them  for 
sale  and  parties  desiring  a  good  road  horse,  or  one  to 
race  at  Oakland  on  Butcher's  Day  or  on  the  regular 
circuit,  shculd  call  on  them.

IN  TRAINING  AT  LOS  ANQELES.    <g 


great  deal  to  do  with  the  early  career  of  Sweet  MarieMyoungster  is  S.  B.  Wright,  a  yearling  that  acts  like  a 
2:04f  has  several  green  prospects  that  look  good.  One^Ctrotter  already  although  he  has  hardly  learned  the 
of  them,  the  black  mare  Lady  Gipsey  hy   Henry   Mc-Cjbusiness  just  yet.     Stanton    Wilkes  is   used    as  a  fun 


Los  Angeles,  April  12.— Of  all  the  training  camps 
I  have  ever  had  the  pleasure  of  visiting  I  think  that 
Los  Angeles  is  about  the  nearest  to  perfection.  Ag- 
ricultural Park  is  located  three  miles  from  the  heart 
of  the  city,  and  after  you  get  oft  the  street  cars  right 
at  the  gate  you  find  a  beautiful  place  where  there  is 
an  excellent  track  and  buildings,  an  abundance  of 
shade  and  good  waterevery where,  and,  bestofall,  the 
vicinity  enjoys  a  climate  that  will  permit  training 
about  every  day  in  the  year.  It  has  been  often  said 
that  the  only  objection  to  Los  Angeles  as  a  place  to 
traiu  horses  is  that  there  is  really  too  much  nice 
weather.  There  are  about  250  horses  in  training  here 
and  everyone  seems  enthusiastic  over  the  prospects  of 
the  coming  season,  and  especially  so  since  the  local 
racing  association  has  started  the  ball  rolling  by  an- 
nouncing a  big  meeting  for  the  Grst  week  in  July. 
No  pains  or  expense  will  be  spared  to  make  the 
meeting  a  banner  one,  and  with  such  meu  as  the 
Messrs.  Garland,  Canfield,  Bruner  and  Christopher  at 
the  helm  it  is  to  be  expected  that  a  meeting  will  be 
given  that  will  equal  those  of  the  days  when  Silk- 
wood  2:07  used  to  be  the  idol  of  the  whole  southern 
part  of  the  State.  The  genial  secretary,  A.  W. 
Bruner,  knows  the  racing  game  thoroughly  and  can 
be  relied  upon  to  make  things  pleasant  for  the  horse- 
men, and  will  do  every  thing  possible  for  their  comfort 
and  convenience. 

Sweet  Marie  2:04|  is  naturally  the  idol  of  all  the 
regulars  and  every  stranger  that  comes  to  the  track 
seems  to  think  that  his  visit  is  incomplete  without 
taking  a  peep  at  the  famous  daughter  of  McKinney 
and  Lady  Rivers.  The  mare  has  wintered  fine  and  is 
the  same  perfect  piece  of  racing  machinery  without  a 
flaw  from  the  tip  of  her  ears  to  the  end  of  her  tail. 
She  is  in  the  stable  of  Will  Durfee  but  most  of  her 
training  so  far  has  been  done  by  her  owner  Mr.  Gar- 
land who  derives  a  world  of  pleasure  driving  her,  and 
who  is  an  excellent  amateur  reinsman  by  the  way.  I 
Baw  him  drive  her  a  mile  in  2:24},  with  the  last  half  in 
1:09$  last  week  which  is  her  fastest  work  this  year 
and  which  will  be  about  the  best  given  her  until  she 
reaches  the  stable  of  Alta  McDanald  over  East  P.  B. 
fjpcon,  the  young  man  who  has  had  charge  of  Major 
Delmar  1:59}  during  his  last  two  campaigns  has 
recently  arrived  to  look  after  the  mare  and  take  her 
to  Albany,  and  the  trip  will  probably  be  made  about 
the  middle  of  May.  Will  Durfee  has  the  largest  string 
of  horses  at  the  track  and  he  has  them  in  all  varieties 
ranging  from  Sweet  Marie  down  to  Irene  S.  a  yearling 
filly  by  Petigru  2:10$  out  of  Johanna  Treat  the  dam 
of  Coronado  2:12$.  He  has  about  thirty  altogether 
and  he  thinks  at  least  a  dozen  of  them  will  do  to  go  to 
the  races.  His  string  includes  the  sensational  mare 
Idylwild  that  was  recently  sold  to  Eastern  parties; 
the  handsome  McKinney  stallion  Electro  Mc,  out  of 
El  Mac  by  Electricity,  also  slated  for  a  trip  across 
the  Rockies;  Briney  K.2:ll;  Cavalier  2:11  by  Welcome; 
Rita  H.  2:141  °y  McKinney;  Jupiter  B.  2:16}  by  Gen. 
Beverly;  Cuate  2:18  by  McKinney;  Bellemont  (2)  2:201, 
April  Rose,  a  fast  three-year-old  by  McKinney  out  of 
Sweet  Rose  by  Piedmont;  Cleopatra  a  fast  filly  by 
Zolock,  dam  Maybreaker  by  Nutbreaker,  owned  by 
Mr.  Garland;  Sherlock  by  Zolock  dam  by  Happy 
Prince  that  has  worked  in  2:16;  Kricket  (3)  by  Coro- 
nado, dam  Alto  Rex;  A.  B.  Spreckels'  bay  stallion 
Cronje  by  Cupid  out  of  Hulda  2:08};  Reela  Newo  a 
fast  McKinney  mare  owned  by  Major  Owen  McAleer 
of  Los  Angeles;  Doc  McKinney  a  four-year-old  brother 
to  Doctor  Book  2:10;  E.  E.  Sherwood's  black  pacing 
mare  by  Zombro,  dam  by  Truman  that  has  worked  in 
2:21  J;, Lou  Derby  by  Charles  Derby, dam  by  McKinnev; 
Joe  Burns  by  Bobby  Burns  that  has  worked  in  2:14}, 
Sweetheart  by  Zombro,  dam  by  Inca;  the  pacer  Jack 
Wilmont  by  Dr.  Bunnell;  Si  Perkins  trial  2:11,  by 
Iris;  and  several  youngsters.  Mr  Durfee  has  been 
going  slow  with  hi6  horses  thus  far  but  all  of  the 
older  horseB  are  in  prime  condition  and  will  be  given 
some  pretty  stiff  work  from  now  on. 

One  of  the  sweetest  gaited  trotters  at  the  track  is 
the  bay  mare  Helen  Norte  2:16$  in  the  string  of  H.  B. 
Rutherford  and  if  she  trains  on  well  will  probably  be 
Been  down  the  Grand  Circuit  together  with  her  stable 
mate  Belladi  2:09  by  Chehalis  2:04}.  Helen  Norte 
is  by  Del  Norte  2:08$  and  both  of  these  mares  are  out 
of  Laurelia  by  Caution  and  are  owned  by  Judge  Thos. 
H.  Brents  of  Walla  Walla,  Wash.  HeleD  Norte  haa 
worked  handily  in  2:201,  and  Belladi  has  trotted  in 
2:18  this  spring  and  both  act  like  they  will  come  pretty 
close  to  the  2:10  mark  this  summer.  Mr  Rutherford 
ia  also  training  Magladi  a  two-year-old  by  Del  Norte- 
Laurelia  that  has  paced  a  quarter  in  :34  and  acts  like 
a  good  prospect. 

Sam  Washington,  the  colored  trainer,    who  had   a 


Kinney,  out  of  Nelly  Salisbury  by  Judge  Salisbury,! 
trotted  in  2:13  last  year  and  is  working  better  than 
ever  this  spring.  Mayo,  a  high  class  and  nice  going) 
three-year-old  by  Zombro,  dam  by  Waldo  K.  basj 
worked  in  2:18  with  a  quarter  in  32$  seconds  thisj 
spring  and  J.  A.  C,  by  Direcbo.dam  V»shtaby  Vasto,' 
has  paced  a  mile  in  2:23}  with  a  quarterin29|  seconds. 
Admonto  by  Advertiser, dam  by  Wildnut,has  stepped 
a  workout  mile  in  2:17  and  actB  like  he  will  do  to  go  to( 
the  races. 

One  of  the  best  green  ones  in  training  1  ere  is  thel 
handsome  bay  trotting  mare  Mabel  W.  by  Zombro 
out  of  Grace  Kaiser  (dam  of  Coney  2:02,  McZeus  2:13, 
etc.)  by  Kaiser,  in  the  stable  of  W.  R.  Wynn,  wbo 
thinks  she  is  the  equal  of  any  he  ever  handled.  Her] 
•best  work  has  been  a  mile  in  2:21  with  a  quarter  in  33 
seconds  but  she  acts  like  sbe  could  shade  2:15  pretty' 
easily  right  now.  Others  in  the  string  of  Mr.  Wynnj 
are  Radium  (4)  by  McKinney,  dam  Black  Swan  by 
Alta  Vela;  Grace  Wilkes  by  Nutwood  Wilkes-Grace 
Kaiser;  and  Cadric  a  very  handsome  chestnut  three- 
year-Dld  stud  by  Neernut  out  of  Black  Swan. 

The  veteran  reinsman  I.  C.  Mosher  has  a  good  lot] 
of  horses  in  his  stable  and  several  of  them  will  bear 
watching.  The  other  morning  he  showed  the  boys  a 
little  speed  when  he  drove  the  three-year-old   pacing 


horse  by  Mr.  Bruner,  who  has  driven  him  in  2:10  in 
the  matinees,  which  is,  of  course,  the  fastest  work  of 
.any  in  the  string. 

The  horses  of  Will  Clark  in  the  bands  of  Ted  Hayes 
are  all  working  nicely  and  will  be  raced  down  the 
Grand  Circuit  if  all  goes  well  with  them.  The  sensa- 
tional colt  trotter  Bon  Voyage  (2)  2:15  by  Expedition 
has  developed  into  a  grand  looking  three-year  old 
and  is  working  nicely  although  he  has  not  been  asked 
to  beat  2:25.  The  McKinney  mare  Miss  Georgie  2:11  J 
seems  to  be  working  better  than  ever  this  year  and 
has  paced  an  easy  work  out  mile  in  2:21.  This  mare 
showed  her  ability  to  shade  2:08  last  season  and 
should  be  hard  to  beat  in  her  class  this  summer.  One 
'[of  the  best  racing  prospects  in  the  string  is  the  three- 
year-old  filly  Sally  Lunn  by  Wiggins,  out  of  Belle  De 
Baron  by  Alsatian.     This  mare  trotted  to  a  record  of 

28J  last  year  and  has  worked  a  mile  in  2:20  with  such 
ease  this  spring  that  it  is  hard  to  tell  just  what  will 
atop  her.  The  trotters  Morone  2:18}  by  Cicercne  and 
Master  Delmar  2:16  by  Delmar  are  working  to  suit 
Mr.  Hayes  but  have  not  been  given  any  fast  work. 
The  others  in  the  string  are  Daniel  J  .  2:12}  by  Whit- 
man; the  green  trotter  Will  Clark  by  Strathway; 
[Christobel  2:11$  by  Chas.  Derby  and  two  two-year- 
olds  by  McKinney,  one  out  of  She  2:121  by  Abbotsford 


filly  Gluck  by  Zombro,  a  mile  in   2:14}    with   the   last  «|land  the  other  out  of  Tuna  2:12}  by    Ethan    Allen   Jr. 
part  of  the  trip  at  a  2:10  gait.    The  filly  has  trotted  a  J  ,:Mr.  Hayes  expects  to  ship  East  about  May  1. 


mile  in  2:24  but  she  seems  to  take  well  to  the  pacing; 
gait  and  gives  promise  of  giving  the  best  ones  an 
argument  this  fall.  He  has  put  Oma  A.  2:13}  by, 
Dictatus  to  trotting  this  year  and  has  worked  her  a 
mile  in  2:17  with  a  quarter  in  31  seconds,  so  it  ia  very) 
evident  that  she  will  do  to  take  to  the  races.  Mr. 
Mosher  has  worked  the  chestnut  stallion  Tidal  Wave1 
2:13}  a  mile  in  2:14$  and  the  trotting  gelding  Rtd  Skin 


J.  H.  Williams  is  making  a  good  season  with  the 
handsome  young  sire  Limonero  2:15}  and  has  already 
bred  a  lot  of  high  class  mares.  He  is  training  the 
young  stallion  Belgrade  and  several  other  green  ones 
of  promise. 

Geo.  T.  Beckers  ia  a  busy  man  these  days  for  in 
addition  to  looking  after  the  great  young  sire  Zombro 
2:11  and  a  big  band  of  mares  there  to  be  bred,  he  ia

The  trotting  mare  Lady  Madison  2:13}  by  James 
Madiaon  is  looking  big  and  strong  and  is  working 
nicely  for  Fred  Ward.  She  has  not  been  asked  to 
trot  a  mile  better  than  2:25  this  year  but  ia  known  to 
have  a  world  of  speed  and  the  railbirds  say  she  is  a 
sure  2:08  mare.  Mr.  Ward  is  also  training  the  brown 
pacing  gelding  Vision  2:12$  by  Vanquish;  Anna  Tur- 
ner, a  green  mare  by  Glenelg,  that  was  paced  in  2:133, 
and  a  two-year-old  stud  colt  by  Silver  Coin. 

After  his  rough  treatment  at  the  hands  "of  the 
Grand  Circuit  stewards  last  summer,  when  he  was 
racing  Sweet  Marie,  Robt.  Smith  has  about  decided 
to  get  out  of  the  horae  business  entirely  and  purchased 
a  couple  of  big  automobiles  just  to  get  even,  but  he 
hasn't  been  able  to  get  the  race  horse  idea  entirely 
out  of  his  system  and  cornea  out  to  the  track  occas-

Zolock  2:09},  the  fastest  entire  pacing  son  of  Mc- 
Kinney and  one  of  the  very  best  bred  ones,  is  doing 
exceptionally  well  in  the  hands  of  Henry  Delaney  and 
promises  to  have  a  big  season.  His  colts  are  rapidly 
coming  to  the  front  and  there  are  a  score  of  them 
around  here  that  can  beat  2:25  right  now.  Zolock  is 
being  jogged  regularly  and  it  is  almost  a  certainty 
that  he  will  be  seen  at  the  races  this  fall,  which  means 
that  he  will  have  a  record  close  to  2:06  if  no  hard  luck 
overtakes  him.  Mr.  Delaney  is  also  training  the  sen- 
sational McKinney  pacer,  Welcome  Mack  2:20$,  that 
recently  earned  a  matinee  record  of  2:08$;  Delilah  (2) 
2:16$  by  Zombro;  Athio  2:14$  by  Junio;  Virginia,  a 
six-year-old  cbeatnut  mare  by  Bob  Mason,  that  has 
shown  a  haif  in  1:01}  and  the  black  mare  Dixie  W. 
that  worked  in  2:20  as  a  three-year-old. 

Will  Julian  who  raced  Robt.  I.  2:08|  in  1903  is  train 
ing  a  number  of  good  green  ones  for  Mrs.  Hastings

Tbe  big  bay  pacer,  Sky  Pointer  Jr.  by  Sky  Pointer, 
has  a  world  of  speed  and  should  earn  a  very  fast  rec-

The  pacing  mare  Sophia  R.  2:14$  owned  by  Willard 
Stimpson  died  the  other  day  while  foaling.  Sbe  was 
by  Roy  Wilkes,  out  of  Ferina  by  Montana  Wilkes  and 
raced  to  her  record  at  Chico  in  1897. 

C.  L.  Jones  of  Modeato  who  was  visiting  with  Will 
Durfee  here  a  few  days  told  me  that  his  good  young 
stud  Carlokin  (3)  2:20$  by  McKinney  wasdoing  a  good 
business  at  the  Jennie  Lee  Farm  and  will  not  be  raced 
tbia  year  but  will  be  out  after  the  "coon  skins"  in  1906.

demand  for  horses  aB  they  did  in  years  gone  by. 


JOTTINGS.  H 

SAN  JOSE  will  soon  have  the  best  harness  racing 
track  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  if  the  plans  of  the 
new  corporation  of  which  Mr.  P.  S.  Granger  is  presi- 
dent and  manager  do  not  miscarry,  and  there  is 
nothing  now  to  prevent  them  being  carried  to  com- 
pletion. Mr.  Granger's  company  has  secured  along 
lease  of  Agricultural  Park,  without  any  question  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  raoe  tracks  and  fair  grounds  in 
America,  although  its  buildings,  stalls  and  fences  are 
in  a  very  bad  state  of  repair  at  the  present  time.  In 
a  talk  I  had  with  Mr.  Granger,  on  Saturday  last,  he 
said  that  a  big  gang  of  workmen  would  commence 
tbis  week  the  reconstruction  ot  the  entire  property. 
Fifty  new  stalls  are  to  be  erected  within  a  few  days, 
and  work  is  to  be  continued  until  there  are  at  least 
five  hundred  Erst  class  bos  stalls  for  the  use  of  horse- 
men. Many  of  the  old  stalls  only  need  repairing  to 
make  them  habitable,  and  Mr.  Granger  states  that 
all  will  be  made  dry  and  comfortable  at  all  seasons  of 
the  year.  An  inside  winter  training  track  forty  feet 
in  width  is  to  be  constructed  during  the  fall,  and 
good  new  fences  built  the  entire  circuit  of  both  tracks. 
A  first  class  club  house  will  also  be  built,  and  the 
grounds  cleaned  up  so  as  to  make  them  attractive  in 
every  way.  A  handsome  arched  gate  way  will  be 
erected  at  the  main  entrance,  the  roads  leading  to 
the  grandstand  and  stalls  all  graded  and  graveled 
and  the  buildings  put  in  good  repair  and  painted  or 
"whitewashed."  "It  is  our  intention,"  6aid  Mr. 
Granger,  "to  make  the  San  Jose  track  the  best  train- 
ing track  in  the  world  for  both  summer  and  winter 
use,  and  the  winter  track  will  be  so  constructed  that 
horses  can  be  worked  immediately  after  a  rain,  or 
during  the  rain  for  that  matter.  All  the  old  dilapi- 
dated stalls,  fences  and  buildings  are  to  be  torn  down, 
and  with  such  of  the  lumber  as  is  worth  using  the 
remaining  buildings  and  stalls  will  be  repaired.  By 
next  winter  when  racing  on  the  eastern  Grand  Circuit 
is  over,  we  expect  to  have  many  trainers  ship  direct 
to  San  Jose  to  train  for  the  winter.  There  will  be  no 
pains  or  expense  spared  to  make  the  San  Jose  track 
attractive  to  owners  and  trainers  alike."  Mr. 
Granger  added  that  a  Driving  Club  will  soon  be  or- 
ganized in  San  Jose  and  matinees  given  once  a  month. 


I  hope  that  all  the  plans  laid  out  by  Mr.  Granger 
will  be  carried  out.  Situated  in  the  beautiful  Santa 
Clara  valley,  and  within  the  limits  of  the  thriving 
city  of  San  Jose,  within  an  hour  and  a  half's  ride  of 
San  Francisco  with  a  dozen  or  more  trains  a  day  each 
way,  San  Jose  track  possesses  more  advantages  than 
any  training  track  in  California  so  far  as  location, 
climate  and  accessibility  are  concerned.  San  Fran- 
ciscans whose  horses  are  in  training  there  can  run 
down  and  see  them  work  and  return  home  without 
consuming  more  that  five  or  six  hours  in  the  entire 
trip.  The  track  iB  one  of  the  safest  and  fastest  in 
California  and  while  it  is  not  the  winter  track  that 
the  one  at  Pleasanton  is,  Mr.  Granger  says  the  new 
inside  track  to  be  built  will  be  perfectly  suited  for 
training  in  the  wettest  weather.  Mr.  Granger  is  an 
energetic  and  enterprising  man  and  has  handled 
successfully  many  large  enterprises.  He  constructed 
the  splendid  electric  road  now  running  from  San  Jose 
to  Saratoga  and  Los  Gatos,  and  has  contracted  for 
and  built  many  other  lines  He  has  the  ability  to 
accomplish  all  that  he  has  laid  out  to  do  with  Agri- 
cultural Park  at  San  Jose. 


They  had  a  horse  show  down  in  Pasadena  last  week 
that  was  quite  a  success.  The  rose  carnival  held  at  that 
place  offered  the  opportunity  to  supplement  it  with  a 
horse  show  and  the  people  who  own  fine  horses  entered 
into  the  spirit  of  it  and  made  many  entries.  There 
are  many  wealthy  Easterners  who  spend  their  winters 
in  that  section  of  California,  and  a  large  proportion 
of  them  bring  their  horses  when  coming  here  for  the 
season.  These  people  are  all  familiar  with  horse  show 
customs  and  as  this  was  an  open  air  affair  and  the 
weather  was  perfect  they  enjoyed  it  immensely.  The 
show  caused  quite  a  scramble  for  exhibition  stock, 
Bay  wood  Stud  of  San  Mateo  selling  several  that  were 
entered  and  won  prizes, 

The  probabilities  are  that  the  Breeders  Association 
will  give  a  meeting  at  the  Fresno  track  the  week  fol- 
lowing the  big  Los  Angeles  meeting  and  as  this  asso- 
ciation always  gives  good  purses  at  its  meetingE,  the 
California  circuit  begins  to  have  a  yery  substantial 
look  There  will  be  over  sixteen  thousand  dollars 
hung  up  at  Los  Angeles  to  be  raced  for  during  the 
six  days,  and  the  Breeders  will  give  at  least  four  days 
of  good  racing  with  purses  averaging  a  thousand  each. 
The  next  meeting  to  follow  will  naturally  be  Pleasan- 
ton, then  will  come  San  Jose  and  then  Santa  Rosa 
and  Woodland  before  the  State  Fair  is  reached.  The 
meeting  at  Fresno  should  be  one  of  the  best  on  the 
circuit.  There  is  a  fine  track  there  and  the  stalls  and 
buildings  are  in  good  shape.  Fresno  is  a  booming 
city  of  about  twenty-five  thousand  and  the  people 
are  very  anxious  for  the  Breeders  to  hold  a  meeting 
there,  which  insures  a  good  attendance.  If  the 
Breeders  decide  to  hold  .the  meeting  a  first  class 
program  will  be  gotten  out,  and  so  arranged  as  to 
accommodate  as  many  horses  in  training  as  possible. 
The  purses  will  be  all  worth  competing  for  and  no 
effort  spared  to  make  the  meeting  one  of  the  best  ever 
held  at  the  raisin  centre. 


Owners  of  mares  will  make  a  big  mistake  this  year 
if  they  do  not  breed  them  to  good  stallions,  of  which 
tbere  are  many  in  California.  The  horse  market  is  in 
such  a  condition  that  it  ie  almost  impossible  to  buy 
even  an  ordinary  buggy  or  business  horse  for  less 
than  $150  and  when  prices  are  that  high  horses  are 
scarce.  Visit  any  of  the  farms  in  your  neighborhood 
and  you  will  find  that  two  and  three-year-olds  are 
very  few,  while  the  crop  of  yearlings  is  still  smaller. 
This  Is  true  of  California  farms  and  the  condition  of 
things  over  EaBt  is  said  to  be  still  worse.  In  Chicago 
a  fourteen-year-old  "expresser, "  blind  in  one  eye  and 
of  but  little  use  as  a  work  horse,  but  In  rather  fair 
condition,  has  passed  through  the  auction  ring  three 
times  during  the  past  month  and  has  not  brought  less 
than  $100  at  any  one  of  the  sales.  The  scarcity  of 
horses  for  farm  purposeB  Is  very  evident  in  New  Eng- 
land where  the  high  prices  asked  for  them  has  driven 
farmers  to  the  use  of  oxen  for  plowing.  The  farmer 
who  is  willing  to  sell  horses  for  $150  at  three  years 
old  (ard  there  Is  a  profit  In  them  at  that  figure) 
should  breed  all  his  available  mares  this  year.  The 
supplj  will  not  equal  the  demand  Inside  of  five  years 
bably  not  then  as  the  ranges  where  horses 
red   by   the  thousands  are  nearly  all  out  of

great  family,  sire  of  the  champions  Directum  2:05J, 
Direct  2:05J  and  also  sire  of  the  dams  of  such  t.rotterB 
as  John  A.  McKerron  2:04J  and  Ozanam  2:07.  The 
third  dam  is  Bicara,  dam  of  six  trotters  in  the  list 
besides  four  producing  sons  Including  Pancoast  2:21|, 
sire  of  Patronage  sire  of  the  ex-champion  Alix2:03|. 
Pancoast  is  the  founder  of  a  great  family  of  trotters, 
eighteen  of  his  sons  having  sired  120  trotters  and  12 
pacers,  and  sixteen  of  his  daughters  producing  22 
trotters  and  3  pacers.  Bicara  was  by  Harold,  another 
of  Hambletonian's  greatast  sons  and  the  sire  of 
Maud  S.  2:08|,  one  of  the  greatest  of  all  the  great 
trotters  that  ha^e  held  world's  records.  The  fourth 
dam  of  Dillcara  is  Belle  by  Mambrino  Chief.  She  is 
the  dam  of  Belmopt  64,  sire  of  the  great  Nutwood  the 
greatest  of  all  broodmare  sires;  she  is  also  the  dam  of 
McCurdy's  Hambletonian  2:26£,  four  of  her  sons  are 
producers  and  her  daughters  have  produced  7  in  the 
list.  The  fifth  dam  is  Belle  Lupe  a  daughter  of 
Brown's  Bell  founder  a  horse  that  was  bred  like  Ham- 
bletonian 10  except  that  the  top  and  bottom  crosses 
were  reversed.  There  is  producing  blood  in  great 
quantity  in  this  colt's  veins,  and  he  is  closely  related 
to  such  champions  as  Lou  Dillon  1:582,  Alix  2:03f , 
John  A.  McKerron  2:045,  Directum  2:063-,  Maud  S. 
2:08|  and  many  others.  At  $40  the  season  this  horse 
is  worthy  of  being  mated  with  the  best  mares  in 
California.

D.  S.  M.,  Ryde,  Cal  —  Yes. 


C.  W.  Short,  Las  Olivos,  Cal. — Williamson's  Bel- 
mont was  a  thoroughbred  horse  and  is  registered  in 
Vol.  1  of  the  American  Stud  Book.  He  was  by  Amer- 
ican Boy,  out  of  imported  Prunella  by  Comus. 


William  Clark,  Medrord,  Oregon— Queen  Wilkes 
hy  Mambrino  Wilkes  6083  is  the  dam  of  Dexter  Prin- 
cess 2:24^.  She  is  not  registered  and,  according  to 
the  rules,  cannot  be  until  she  has  produced  another 
standard  trotter.  Rule  4  states  that  "a  mare  sired  by 
a  registered  standard  trotting  horse,  provided  she  is 
the  dam  of  two  trotters  with  records  of  2:30,"  is  enti- 
tled to  registration.  In  Vol.  8  of  the  Year  Book  the

with  all  other  records  made  against  time  at  that  meet- 
ing, was  rejected  hy  the  American  Trotting  Associa- 
tion.   He  is  not  registered. 


Dr.  Gaynor,  Eureka — It  is  impossible  to  answer 
your  question  without  knowing  more  about  the  first 
and  second  dams  of  your  gelding.  If  you  give  their 
nameB  we  can  ascertain  whether  either  is  registered. 
If  the,  Poscora  Hayward  mare  is  not  registered,  she 
must  be  before  her  produce  can  be  registered.  If  she 
has  produced  two  with  standard  records,  then  she  can 
be  registered  under  rule  4      Otherwise  she  cannot. 


It  seems  that  a  certain  bre  wery  concern  in  Brooklyn 
has  adopted  the  practice  of  feeding  its  horses  partially 
on  sugar,  and  this  fact  is  being  widely  published  in 
certain  turf  journals  as  a  new  discovery  in  the  art  of 
feeding  and  fattening  horses.  Instead  of  feeding 
sugar  being  a  novel  feed  for  horses,  it  has  been 
recognized  for  many  years  as  one  of  the  most  bene- 
ficial ingredients  known  to  horsemen.  One  of  the 
most  remarkable  incidents,  showing  the  efficacy  of 
9ugar  as  a  life  preserving  and  fattening  ingredient,  is 
the  case  of  Tom  Hal,  founder  of  the  greatest  pacing 
amily  in  the  world's  history.  In  1886,  when  this 
grand  horse  was  twenty-six  years  old,  he  was  owned 
by  Major  Campbell  Brown,  of  Spring  Hill,  Tenn. 
The  hard  usage  which  he  received  in  the  early  part 
of  his  career,  coupled  with  the  fact  that  his  teeth  for 
several  years  had  been  practically  gone  resulted  in 
his  becoming  an  almost  total  wreck,  and  thinking 
that  his  days  of  usefulness  were  about  over,  Major 
Brown  deemed  it  advisable  to  sell  him,  and  at  his 
public  sale  that  year,  Mr.  F.  B.  Buford  purchased  the 
old  horse  for  about  $175.  When  he  arrived  at  Mr. 
Buford'shome  his  ribs  were  plainly  visible,  and  he 
was  so  weak  that  he  could  hardly  walk.  It  was  very 
evident  that  nothing  but  careful  nursing  would  get 
him  through  the  winter,  and  to  accomplish  this  pur- 
pose Mr.  Buford  purchased  a  barrel  of  molasses  and  a 
quantity  of  ground  oats,  and  three  times  each  day 
from  that  period  the  old  horse  was  fed  a  pint  of 
molasses  and  two  quarts  of  ground  oats.  So  rapidly 
did  he  improve  under  this  diet  that  long  before  the 
following  spring  he  was  as  fat,  sleek  and  frisky  as  at 
any  time  in  his  life.  This  feed  was  continued  until 
his  death,  in  the  summer  of  1890,  and  during  those 
four  years  he  not  only  did  his  stud  duty,  but  sired 
among  others,  Blue  Hal  2:142,  Chestnut  Hal  2:24f, 
Imperial  Hal  2:12J;,  Royal  Hal  2:19J,  Hal  Buford  2:24, 
and  Bessie  Hal  trial  2:12,  dam  of  Direct  Hal  2:04J; 
Not  only  was  this  feed  beneficial,  but  the  old  horse, 
was  so  fond  of  it  that  when  feeding  time  approached 
he  would  commence  to  squeal  and  paw  and  refused  to 
be  appeased  until  his  molasses  was  brought  to  him. 
Not  only  are  all  horses  fond  of  sugar,  but  no  medicine 
is  so  beneficial  as  brown  sugar  in  correcting  many  of 
the  ailments  with  which  horses  of  all  ages  are  afflicted 
to  a  more  or  less  extent,  and  for  fattening  purposes  it 
far  surpasses  all  other  feeds. — Hider  and  Driver. 


Bred  in  Producing  Lines. 

If  there  is  anything  In  pedigree  the  young  stallion 
Dillcara,  advertised  in  this  journal,  is  without  any 
doubt  one  of  the  best  bred  horses  in  America.  He  is 
a  young  horse  of  the  stout  blocky  type,  without 
coarseness,  with  excellent  trotting  action  and  natural 
speed.  His  sire  iB  Sidney  Dillon,  sire  of  three  trotters

champion  and  first  two  minute  trotter,  Lou  Dillon 
1-.58J.  Sidney  Dillon  is  a  Bon  of  Sidney  2:19J,  sire  of 
three  in  2:10  and  a  whole  line  of  champion  trotting 
and  pacing  colts,  he  by  Santa  Claus  2:17J,  a  great 
race  horse  and  sire  of  2:10  speed,  he  by  Strathmore 
also  a  2:10  sire  and  one  of  the  very  greatest  of  the 
great  sons  of  Hambletonian  10.  Dillcara's  dam  is 
Guycara  2:18$  a  young  broodmare  whose  get  have  not 
yet  been  raced.  She  is  a  daughter  of  Guy  Wilkes 
2-.15J,  sire  of  four  in  2:10  and  also  sire  of  many  of  the 
best  winnersthat  over  went  to  the  Grand  Circuit  from 
California.  The  second  dam  of  Dillcara  is  Biscara, 
dam  of  five  in   the  list,  of   which   four  have  records 


Both  the  Same  Breed. 


Many  have  the  idea  that  a  pacer  is  an  entirely 
separate  breed  of  horses  from  the  trotter.  They  are 
simply  mistaken  (remarks  an  exchange).  Although 
the  pacer  antedates  the  trotter  thousands  of  years, 
yet  the  pacer  of  today  is  b-ed  from  trotting  sires  with 
very  few  exceptions.  Twenty-three  pacers  have  made 
records  of  from  2:04  to  1:56.  Let  any  one  examine 
the  list  and  they  will  find  that  11  of  the  number  are 
sired  by  the  sons  of  George  Wilkes,  and  10  of  the 
others  trace  back  to  Hambletonian.  As  Wilkes  is 
a  direct  son  of  Hambletoman  we  find  that  21  of  the 
number  are  sired  by  sons  and  grandsons  of  Hamble- 
tonian. One  of  the  number  is  by  a  son  of  Mambrino 
Chief,  a  grandson  of  Messenger.  Star  Pointer  1:591; 
Is  the  only  one  in  the  whole  gang  that  is  pacing  bred. 
Therefore  23  of  the  whole  number  of  pacers  with 
records  from  2:04  to  1:56  are  of  Messenger  blood.

Good  Stock  for  British  Columbia. 

Mr.  J.  B.  Hull,'  of  Kamloops,  B.  C,  who  has  been 
in  San  Francisco  and  vicinity  for  the  past  two  or  three 
weeks  in  quest  of  a  few  blooded  horses  to  use  for 
breeding  purposes,  returned  last  Saturday  taking 
■rich  him  five,  of  which  three  were  thoroughbred  and 
two  standard  bred  animals.  Of  the  latter  one  was  the 
stallion,  Ogden,  bred  by  Mr.  P.  J.  Williams,  Bired 
by  Egyptian  Prince,  and  out  of  the  great  broodmare 
Hattie,  dam  ot  Monterey  2:09i  and  Montana  2:16. 
Ogden  is  a  large  bay  horse,  fully  sixteen  hands  high 
and  weighiDg  about  1200  pounds.  Although  never 
trained  for  racing  he  has  shown  2:20  speed,  and  could 
obtain  a  low  mark  were  he  worked.  He  has  been 
driven  on  the  road  during  the  past  year  by  Mr.Galindo 
proprietor  of  the  Vienna  Cafe  in  this  city  and  made  an 
ideal  road  horse,  as  he  is  absolutely  fearlessaDd  can  be 
driven  by  a  child.  He  has  never  been  used  in  the  stud, 
and  is  as  sound  as  any  horse  ever  foaled,  not  having 
even  a  pimple  on  his  legs.  An  excellent  likeness  of 
this  horse  appears  on  our  front  page  this  week.  Few 
horses  as  well  bred  as  Ogden  have  ever  been  sent  out 
of  California.  His  sire  Egyptian  Prince  is  by  El 
Mahdi,  a  producing  son  of  Onward,  and  is  out  of  a 
mare  by  Mambrino  King.  The  dam  of  Ogden  as  stated 
above  is  the  great  broodmare  Hattie  by  Commodore 
Belmont,second  dam  Barona  by  Woodford  Mambrino, 
third  dam  Miss  Gratz  by  Norman  25,  and  fourth  dam 
a  daughter  of  Gray  Eagle,  thoroughbred.  Ogden 
should  make  a  great  stock  horse  for  Mr.  Hull.  The 
2:10  sires  represented  in  Ogden's  pedigree  are  Onward, 
sire  of  Onward  Silver  2:05>r,  Beuzetta  2:06J,  Pilatus 
2:09},  Cornelia  Belle  2:10,  Pearl  Onward  2:07J,  Gazette 
2:0lt\  Colbert  2:074,  Miss  Ophelia  2:09},  Col  Thornton 
2:09j]  Major  Mason  2:093,  etc.,  Mambrino  King,  sire 
of  Lord  Derby  2:051,  Nightingale  2:08,  Dare  Devil  2:09, 
Lady  of  the  Manor  a:04i,  Heir-at-Law  2:05?,  etc.; 
Belmont  61,  sire  of  Earlmont  2:09J;  Woodford  Mam- 
brino, sire  dam  of  Kremlin  2:07j.  The  great  brood 
maresare  Lady  Bunker,  dam  of  Guy  Wilkes2:15},  etc.; 
Hattie,  dam  of  Monterey  2:09},  etc.;  Bay  Hamble- 
tonian,  dam  of  three  in  the  list,  Dolly,  dam  of  Director 
2:17  etc.;  Woodbine,  dam  of  Wedgewood  2:19,  etc.; 
and ' many  others  that  lack  of  space  prevents  mentior^ 
ing  in  this  article.  It  will  be  seen  that  Ogden  is  related 
to  the  best  of  the  trotting  families. 

The  trotting  filly  purchased  by  him  was  the  brown 
mare  Cooked  by  Owyhee  2:11,  dam  of  Coquette  by 
Wilton,  second  dam  Julia  Clay  by  Harry  Clay.  She 
is  a  two-year-old  and  was  brefl  at  Oakwood  Park 
Stock  Farm  and  is  both  standard  and  registertd. 

The  thoroughbreds  purchased  by  Mr  Hull  were  the 
stallion  Oakington,  son  of  Libertine  and  Btrna  by 
imp  Cheviot,  the  broodmare  Carilia  by  St.  Carlo  out 
of  Guilia  by  imp.  Kyrle  Daly,  and  Carilia 's  filly  foal  of 
this  jearby  Rubicon.  On  the  same  day  Mr.  Hull 
shipped  this  daughter  of  St. Carlo  to  British  Columbia, 
a  son  of  St.  Carlo,  the  four-jear-oli  Elie  broke  the 
world's  reaord  for  three  miles  by  winning  the  stake  at 
that  distance  at  Oakland  in  the  remarkable  time  of 
5:22,  cutting  full  two  seconds  from  the  5:29  made  by 
Drake  Carter  at  Sheepahead  Bay  in  1884,  eleven  years 
ago.  Elie  is  a  four-year  old.  Mr.  Hull  considers 
himself  very  lucky  in  securing  a  filly  by  the  sire  of 
the  world's  champion  three  mile  runner. 

Counties  May    Employ   Live    Stock   Inspectors. 

A  new  law  passed  by  the  last  Legislature  gives 
Boards  of  Supervisors  the  power  to  appoint  a  live 
stock  inspector  at  a  salary  of  $125  per  month  when 
employed.  He  must  be  a  registered  veterinary, 
certified  and  accredited  by  the  State  Veterinary 
Medical  Board.  The  law  gives  Supervisors  the  dis- 
cretion of  not  employing  such  inspector  when  in  their 
judgment  there  is  no  need  of  his  services. 

It  is  to  be  the  duty  of  the  live  stock  inspector,  act- 
ing under  the  supervision  of  the  State  Veterinarian, 
to  enforce  all  laws  of  the  State,  and  all  orders  and 
ordinances  of  the  board  pertaining  to  the  health  and 
sanitary  surroundings  of  all  live  stock  in  his  county, 
and  for  that  purpose  he  is  authorized  and  empowered, 
by  and  with  the  approval  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors, 
to  establish,  maintain  and  enforce  such  quarantine, 
sanitary  and  other  regulations  as  he  may  deem  proper 
and  necessary.  He  shall  give  to  the  du.ies  of  his 
office  such  time  and  attention  as  may  be  necessary  to 
secure  the  general  protection  and  advancement  of  all 
matters  pertaining  to  the  health  and  sanitary  condi- 
tion of  the  domestic  live  stock  of  his  county.

The  Horse  in  Battle. 


The  part  which  a  cavalry  horse  takes  in  a  battle  can 
never  be  filled  by  any  machine,  no  matter  what  its 
capabilities.  The  horse  seems,  in  the  hour  of  battle 
at  least,  to  take  on  characteristics  which  belong  only 
to  a  being  endowed  with  reason.  He  partakes  of  the 
hopes  and  fears  of  the  conflict,  the  same  as  bis  rider. 
If  he  has  been  six  months  in  the  service  he  knows 
every  bugle  call.  As  the  column  swings  into  line  and 
waits,  the  horse  grows  nervous  with  waiting,  and  if 
the  wait  be  long,  will  often  tremble  and  sweat.  As 
the  call  comes  to  advance,  the  ridercan  feel  him  worK- 
ing  at  the  bit  with  his  tongue  to  get  it  between  his 
teeth.  As  he  moves  out  he  will  either  try  to  get  on 
faster  or  bolt.  The  lines  will  carry  him  forward  and 
after  a  minute  he  will  lay  back  his  ears,  and  one  can 
feel  his  sudden  resolve  to  brave  the  worst  and  have 
done  with  it  as  soon  as  possible.  A  man  seldom  cries 
out  when  hit  in  the  turmoil  of  battle,  and  it  is  the 
same  with  a  horse.  Five  troopers  out  of  six  when 
6truck  with  a  bullet  are  out  of  their  saddles  in  a 
minute.  If  hit  in  the  breast  or  shoulder,  up  go  their 
hands  and  they  get  a  heavy  fall;  if  in  the  leg,  foot  or 
arm,  they  fall  forward  and  roll  off.  Even  with  a  foot 
cut  off  by  a  jagged  piece  of  shell  a  horse  will  not  drop. 
It  is  only  when  shot  in  the  head  or  heart  that  he 
comes  down.  The  horse  that  loses  his  rider  and  is 
unwounded  himself  will  continue  to  run  with  his  set  of 
fours  until  some  movement  throws  him  out.  Then  he 
goes  galloping  here  and  there,  neighing  with  fear  and 
alarm,  but  will  not  leave  the  field.  When  he  has  come 
upon  several  riderless  steeds  they  fall  in  and  keep 
together,  and  the  rally  of  the  bugle  often  will  bring 
them  into  the  ranks  together. — Exchange. 

New  DriviDg  Park  for  Watsonville. 

Watson  ville  and  the  Pajaro  valley  are  to  have  a 
driving  park  says  the  fajaronian.  H.  C.  Peckham 
of  the  enterprising  firm  of  Peckham  &  Peckham  has 
taken  the  matter  up,  and  the  early  encouragement 
he  has  received  makes  the  park  a  certainty  in  the 
near  fuSure 

He  has  secured  an  option  on  the  G.  T.  White  home 
place,  situated  less  than  a  mile  and  a  half  from  the 
center  of  Watsonville.  and  opposite  the  reservoir  of 
the  Watsonville  Water  Company  on  the  Santa  Cruz 
road.  The  new  park  is  to  be  on  the  old  Tarpey  track 
and  the  option  secures  it  for  a  lease  or  to  buy  within 
five  and  one-half  years  at  a  reasonable  figure,  for  the 
purpose  of  establishing  thereon  a  park  to  be  used  for 
driving,  football,  baseball  and  polo  grounds,  and  for 
the  purpose  of  holding  fairs  and  other  gatherings  of 
benefit  and  iecreation  to  the  people  of  the  valley. 

The  property  will  be  handled  by  a  corporation  to 
be  known  as  the  Watsonville  Driving  Park  Associa- 
tion to  be  capitalized  at  $10,000  in  1000  shares  at  $10 
each.  Two  hundred  and  fifty  shares  will  be  sold  at 
once  and  the  remaining  stock  will  be  kept  in  the 
treasury.  Of  the  250  shares  sold,  50  per  cent  will  be 
paid  in  at  the  time  of  incorporation  of  the  company, 
and  the  balance  in  ninety  days  thereafter. 

That  the  matter  is  taking  public  interest  is  shown 
by  the  ready  sale  of  100  shares  in  a  shcrt  time  after 
Mr.  Peckham  began  working  on  the  proposition.  The 
Pajaro  valley  has  need  of  just  such  a  place  as  that 
planned  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  it  will  be  a  "go." 


The  Sacramento  Union  says:  Nearly  all  the  owners 
from  this  part  of  the  State  will  take  tbeir  horses  over 
the  California  circuit,  including  the  State  Fair,  and 
then  take  in  the  races  arranged  in  Oregon,  Washing- 
ton, Idaho  and  Utah.  Frank  E.  Wright  of  this  city 
has  abandoned  his  proposed  tour  of  the  Eastern  Grand 
Circuit,  because  of  his  father's  illness,  but  will  g 
Los  Angeles.

Some  Great  Brood  Mares. 


-terasting  and  profitable  to  breeders  to  study 
the  blood  lines  and  compare  toe  speed-producing  and 
spsed-parpe'  5  of  the  most  famous  of 

great  brood  mares.  An  examination  of  the  table  of 
great  brood  mares  in  the  Year  Book  of  1904  shows 
that  there  are  five  which  stand  out  prominently  from 
all  the  others  as  producers  and  perpetuators  of  stand- 
ard speed  They  are  Alma  Mater,  Dolly,  Miss  Russell, 
Beautiful  Bells  and  Green  Mountain  Maid. 

Measured  by  her  producing  qualities,  together  with 
the  success  of  her  sons  as  sires  and  her  daughters  as 
producers  of  standard  speed,  Alma  Mater  still  out- 
ranks any  and  all  of  the  other  great  brood  mares. 
She  w  s  foaled  in  1572.  Her  sire,  Herr's  Mambrino 
Patcben,  was  by  Mambrino  Chief  and  from  a  daugh- 
ter of  the  successful  running  race  horse  Gano,  whose 
sire  was  the  renowned  four-mile  race  winner,  Ameri- 
can Eclipse  and  whose  dam  was  Betsey  Richards  by 
that  most  famous  of  race  horses  and  most  successful 
speed  perpe.uator  of  his  day,  Sir  Archy.  The  dam  of 
Alma  Mater  was  Estella,  and  she  was  a  thoroughbred 
daughter  of  imported  Australian. 

Alma  Mater  produced  eight  that  took  records  in 
standard  time  Seven  of  her  sons  have  sired  20S 
trotters  and  64  pacers  that  have  made  standard  rec- 
ords. This  makes  the  total  number  produced  by  her- 
self, sired  by  her  sons  and  produced  by  her  daughters 
283. 

The  mare  that  is  nest  in  rank  to  Alma  Mater,  as  a 
producer  and  perpetuaior  of  standard  speed,  is  Dolly. 
Her  sire  was  Mambrino  Chief.  Her  dam  was  by  Ben 
Franklin,  said  to  be  a  racker  and  trotter.  The  sire 
of  Ben  Franklin  was  Hazrack,  a  famous  saddle  horse 
in  his  day,  and  got  by  Golden  Farmer,  also  known  as 
Fearnaugbt  and  believed  to  have  been  from  good  run- 
ning stock.  The  dam  of  Hazrack  was  by  Johnson's 
Copperbottom,  whose  sire  was  Jowett's  Copperbottom, 
a  pacer  and  claimed  to  be  a  Canadian,  but  his  origin 
is  unknown.  So  far  as  known  the  maternal  ancestors 
of  Johnson's  Copperbottom  were  all  from  runnicg- 
bred  stock.  The  dam  of  Ben  Franklin  was  by  John- 
son's Copperbottom  and  bis  second  dam  by  Saxe 
Weimer,  a  running-bred  son  of  Sir  Archy.  The  sec- 
ond dam  of  Dolly  was  also  by  this  same  Saxe  Weimer 
and  was  known  as  Nance.  Dolly's  third  dam  "was  a 
good-looking  chestnut  mare  called  Kate  that  both 
paced  and  trotted,"  but  her  breeding  has  never  been 
made  public. 

Doliy  was  foale-d  in  1361.  She  produced  four  that 
trotted  to  records  of  2:30  or  better.  Four  of  her  sons 
have  sired  195  trotters  and  61  pacers  that  made  rec- 
ords in  standard  time.  Her  daughters  have  produced 
two  standard  performers,  both  trotters.  The  whole 
number  of  standard  performers  produced  by  Dolly, 
sired  by  her  sons,  and  Droduced  by  her  daughters,  is 
262. 

Next  in  rank  is  Miss  Russell,  foaled  in  1565,  and  got 
by  Pilot  Jr.  The  dam  of  Miss  Russell  was  Sally 
Russell  by  the  most  successful  long-distance  race 
horse  of  his  day,  Boston.  The  latter  was  by  Timoleon, 
a  son  of  the  famous  Sir  Archy  by  imported  Diomed, 
and  his  dam  was  by  Ball's  Florizel,  another  dis- 
tinguished race  winner  by  old  Diomed.  The  second 
dam  of  Boston  was  by  imported  Alderman,  a  son  of 
Pot-8-o's.  The  latter  was  by  the  invincible  Eclipse, 
and  was  the  sire  of  three  famous  English  Derby  win- 
ners. 

The  second  dam  of  Miss  Russell  was  Maria  Russell, 
by  Thornton's  Rattler,  a  son  of  Sir  Archy,  third  dam, 
Miss  Shepherd  by  Stockholder,  another  son  of  Sir 
Archy;  fourth  dam,  Miranda  by  Topgallant,  son  of 
Imported  Diomed;  fifth  dam  by  imported  Diomed; 
sixth  dam  by  imported  Medley,  a  son  of  the  famous 
Gimcrack,  and  seventh  dam  by  imported  Juniper,  a 
son  of  Babraham  by  Godolpbin  Arabian. 

Pilot  Jr.,  sire  of  Miss  Russell,  was  by  the  Canadian 
pacer  Pilot,  and  from  a  daughter  of  Funk's  Havoc, 
whose  sire  was  Sir  Charles  by  Sir  Arcby.  The  dam 
a  more  closely  and  deeply  inbred  to 
Imported  Diomed  through  his  best  son  Sir  Archy 
than  any  other  animal  wbose  name  we  bave  ever 
found  in  the  Stud  Book. 

Miss  Russell  produced  five  trotters  and  two  pacers 
In  the  list,  Including  two  with  records  better  than 
2:10  one  of  them  the  renowned  old  high  wheel  cham- 
pion trotter  of  the  world,  Maud  S.  2:08j.  Six  of  Mlse 
Russell's  sons  ha- ■  i   trotters  and   53  pacers 

that  have  made  records  In  standard  time,  and  one  of 
these  sons  is  Nutwood  2:18),  the  greatest  sire  of  produc- 
ing dams  that  has  ever  lived.  Nutwood's  daughters 
have  already  produced  189  trotters  and  60  pat 
have  made  records  of  2:30  or  better,  a  total  of  249. 
Daughters'  -ell  have  produced  10  trotters 

and   or  i   pacer    in   the    list   making   tbe  number  of 
standard  performers  produced   by   herself,  sired   by 
sand  produced  by  her  daughter 
in  order  of  rank  comes  the  renowned  Beautiful 
291,  foaled   in   1872,   the  same  year  as  Alma 


Mater  The  sire  of  Beautiful  Bells  was  The  Moor  2:37. 
He  was  by  Clay  Pilot,  son  of  Neave's  Cassius  M.  Clay 
Jr.,  and  his  dam  was  the  registered  thoroughbred 
Belle  of  Wabasb,  trotting  record  2:40.  The  dam  of 
Beautiful  Balls  was  Minnehaha  (the  dam  of  eight 
trotters  that  have  made  records  in  standard  time),  by 
Stevens'  Bald  Chief,  a  son  of  Bay  Chief,  by  Mambrino 
second  dam  Nettie  Clay,  by  Strader's  Cassius 
Jr.;  third  dam  by  Abdallah,  sire  of  Rysdyk's 
Hambletonian;  and  fourth  dam  by  Engineer  2d,  sire 
of  the  old  time  world's  trotting  champion  Lady 
Suffolk  2:29*. 

Beautiful  Bells  produced  11  that  have  made 
standard  records,  all  trotters.  Eight  of  her  sons  have 
sired  173  trotters  and  61  pacers  that  have  made 
records  in  standard  time.  Her  daughters  have  pro- 
duced six  trotters  and  one  pacer  with  standard 
records,  a  total  of  252. 

Green  Mountain  Maid  which  is  sixth  in  rank  among 
the  most  successful  of  She  great  broodmares,  as  a 
producer  and  perpetuator  of  standard  speed,  was 
foaled  in  1862.  She  was  by  the  noted  broodmare  sire 
Sayre's  Harry  Clay,  whose  sire  was  Neave's  Cassius 
M.  Clay  Jr.,  and  whose  dam  was  by  the  Norfolk  trot- 
ter imported  Bellfounder,  that  got  the  dam  of  Rys- 
dyk's Hambletonian. 

It  is  generally  conceded  by  the  best  posted  of  horse- 
men who  have  studied  the  matter  that  Shanghai 
Mary, the  dam  of  Green  Mountain  Maid,  was  by  Iron's 
Cadmus  and  from  a  running-bred  mare.  Iron's  Cad- 
mus is  registered  in  Bruce's  American  Stud  Book, 
where  it  is  stated  that  bis  sire  was  Cadmus  and  his 
dam  was  -by  Brunswick,  a  son  of  Sumpter,  by  Sir 
Archy.  Cadmus,  the  sire  of  Iron's  Cadmus,  was  by 
the  renowned  four-mile  race  winner  American  Eclipse, 
he  by  Durcc,  son  of  imported  Diomed,  and  from 
Miller's  Damsel,  by  imported  Messenger.  Cadmus' 
dam,  Die  Vernon,  was  by  Ball's  Florizel,  the  successful 
race-winning  son  of  imported  Diomed,  that  got  the 
dam  of  the  renowned  Boston. 

Green  Mountain  Maid  produced  nine  trotters  that 
have  made  standard  records.  According  to  the  Year 
Book  four  of  her  sons  have  sired  198  trotters  and  10 
pacers  with  standard  records,  but  the  Year  Book 
credits  Electioneer  with  only  158  trotters,  while 
according  to  the  National  and  American  Trotting 
Associations  it  should  be  165,which  makes 205  trotters 
and  10  pacers  with  standard  records  got  by  the  four 
sons  of  Green  Mountain  Maid.  Her  daughters  have 
produced  10  trotters  with  standard  records,  which 
makes  the  total  number  of  standard  performers  pro- 
duced by  Green  Mountain  Maid,  sired  by  her  sons  and 
produced  by  her  daughters,  234. 

A  study  of  the  blood  lines  of  the  above  noted  speed 
producing  and  speed  perpetuating  mares,  shows  that 
the  thoroughbred,  or  at  least  the  running  element,  is 
quite  prominent  in  all  of  them,  but  more  so  in  Alma 
Mater  and  Miss  Russell  than  in  any  of  the  others. 
Dolly,  that  ranks  second  in  the  list,  is  registered  in 
Vol.  V  of  the  American  Trotting  Register  as  follows: 
Got  by  Mambrino  Chief  11;  dam  Fanny  by  Ben  Frank- 
lin (pacer),  son  of  Hazrack  (pacer):  grandam  Nance 
by  Saxe  Weimer,  son  of  Sir  Archy;  great  grandam 
chestnut  pacing  mare,  etc.  The  registrar  obtained 
his  facts  in  regard  to  the  ancestors  of  Dolly  from  Otto 
Holstein,  who  investigated  the  matter,  and  gave  the 
results  in  an  article  published  on  page  818  of  Wallace's 
Monthly  for  December,  1882. 

Mr.  Holstein  stated  that  the  dam  of  Dolly  was  by  a 
fine  saddle  stallion  racker  and  trotter  called  Ben 
Franklin.  Every  horseman  knows  that  there  is 
as  much  difference  between  the  gait  of  a  racker  and 
pacer  as  between  that  of  a  trotter  and  pacer.  There 
has  never  been  a  particle  of  evidence  presented  to 
prove  that  this  Ben  Franklin  ever  paced  a  step  in  his 
life.  The  probability  is  that  he  was  a  square-gaited 
trotter  which  had  been  taught  to  single  foot  or  rack 
under  the  saddle,  that  being  an  easier  gait  for  the 
rider  than  the  trot. 

The  registrar  gives  Hazrack,  the  sire  of  Ben  Frank- 
lin, as  a  pacer.  The  only  authority  for  this  was  Mr. 
Holstein's  statement  that  Hazrack  was  a  "famous 
saddle  horse.  Had  he  been  a  pacer  Mr.  Holstein 
would  undoubtedly  have  so  stated,  the  same  as  he  did 
of  the  third  dam  of  Dolly.  Mr.  Holstein  says  of 
Golden  Farmer,  also  known  as  Fearnaugbt,  the  sire 
of  Hazraok,  that  "be  came  from  Virginia  and  was 
doubtless  thoroughbred  or  nearly  so."  There  was 
much  more  of  the  thoroughbred  and  far  less  of  tbe 
pacing  element  in  the  composition  of  Dolly  than  is 
generally  believed  by  those  who  have  depended  solely 
on  the  Register  and  Year  Book  for  their  information. 

Another  mare  that  comes  pretty  near  to  being  in 
the  same  class  as  the  five  described  above  is  Sprite  by 
Alexander's  Belmont.  Sprite  was  foaled  in  1872,  the 
same  year  as  Alma  Mater  and  Beautiful  Bells  2:29$. 
The  dam  of  Sprite  was  the  noted  broodmare  Water- 
witch  by  Pilot  Jr.;  second  dam  by  Kinkead'6  St- 
Lawrence,  and  third  dam  by  a  thoroughbred  colt, 
believed  to  be  the  same  that  is  registered  as  Oliver 


and  got  by  the  famous  old  Wagner,  dam  by  imported 
Leviathan  and  from  a  mare  inbred  to  imported 
Diomed.  Sprite  produced  four  trotters  that  made 
standard  records,  and  four  of  her  sons  have  sired  146 
trotters  and  66  pacers  that  are  standard  performers, 
giving  her  a  total  to  date  of  216  in  the  standard  list. —

Automobiliousness. 


Th<?  new  disease  known  as  automobiliousness  is 
humorously  described  as  follows  by  a  correspondent 
of  a  medical  magazine: 

Motor  fever,  or  automobiliousness,  is  a  disease  which 
is  becoming  alarmingly  prevalent,  and  which  is 
already  receiving  much  attention  from  scientists  and 
careful  investigators.  As  it  is  comparatively  new  in 
this  country,  scientific  opinion  has  not  yet  crystallized 
as  regards  its  real  significance  and  its  probable  effect 
on  the  race.  Abundant  clinical  material  is  at  hand, 
however,  and  much  may  be  learned,  even  now,  by  a 
thorough  study  of  the  disease  and  its  phenomena. 

Authorities  disagree  as  to  the  etiology  of  motor 
fever,  but  the  exciting  cause  is  generally  believed  to 
be  the  diplococcus  financii,  although  some  observers 
insist  that  the  bacillus  getthereus  is  the  chief  causa- 
tive factor.  As  the  disease  is  never  directly  fatal, 
seldom  resulting  in  anything  worse  than  violent  in- 
sanity in  the  patient,  little  opportunity  for  post- 
mortem investigation  has  as  yet  been  afforded.  It  is 
supposed,  however,  that  the  cerebrum,  which  suffers 
the  brunt  of  the  attack,  is  overwhelmed  by  these 
micro-organisms,  which  multiply  so  rapidly  as  to 
seriously  obstruct  the  wheels  of  that  organ. 

Of  the  pathology  of  this  disease  we  also  know  little, 
but  it  is  believed  that  there  is  a  rapid  hypertrophy  of 
certain  brain-cells,  producing  enlargement  of  the 
cranium,  moral  anaesthesia,  and  hypercussedness  of 
the  whole  nervous  mechanism.  Gobbs  reports  one 
patient,  killed  by  an  irate  farmer,  whose  brain 
exhibited  extensive  ecchymosis,  but  it  is  uncertain 
whether  this  was  attributable  to  the  disease  or  to  the 
farmer's  club. 

The  symptoms  are  mainly  those  of  intense  mental 
excitement.  The  patient  exhibits  a  morbid  desire  to 
annihilate  time  and  space,  regardless  of  the  conse- 
quences. His  general  condition  is  vividly,  if  not 
elegantly,  described  by  the  slangy  expression,  "chesty." 
He  becomes  impatient,  autocratic,  unreasonable  and 
acquires  a  strong  aversion  to  officers  of  the  law.  Ano- 
rexia and  insomnia  sometimes  develop  in  the  later 
stages  of  the  malady,  hallucinations  supervene,  and 
the  patient  exhibits  strange  tastes,  such,  for  example, 
as  preferring  the  odor  of  gasoline  to  that  of  the  well- 
known  mephitis  mephitea.  The  disease  is  slowly  pro- 
gressive, and  in  time  the  patient  becomes  a  pitiable 
nervous  wreck. 

Diagnosis  is  not  difficult,  as  a  rule,  although  motor 
fever  has  been  mistaken  for  mania  a  potu.  In  the 
latter  disease,  however,  it  is  snakes  that  the  patient 
sees  about  him  and  feels  that  he  must  kill,  while  in 
motor  fever  it  Is  usually  women  and  children,  though 
sometimes  dogs  and  small  babies,  only.  Snoopers  has 
mentioned  a  peculiar  cold  glitter  to  the  eye  that  he 
has  found  pathognomonic,  but  other  observers  have 
not  confirmed  this.  An  expression  of  countenance 
verging  on  the  satanic  has  been  noted  in  the  later 
stages,  but  this  is  usually  lacking  in  recent  victims. 

The  prognosis,  unfortunately,  is  bad.  It  is  doubt- 
ful whether  a  patient  who  has  the  disease  in  its  worst 
form  ever  recovers.  Occasionally  a  severe  shock, 
such  as  might  occur  from  a  broken  limb  or  a  broken 
neck,  produces  a  temporary  amelioration  of  the 
symptoms,  but  they  usually  return  at  a  later  period, 
in  a  more  violent  form  than  ever. 

The  treatment  of  motor  fever,  as  it  stands  today,  is 
irrelevant  and  chaotic.  There  are  some  in  every 
community  who  argue  in  favor  of  the  shotgun  or  the 
axe.  As  a  prophylactic  measure  this  may  at  times 
benefit  the  people  at  large,  for  there  is  no  d»ubt  that 
this  line  of  treatment  is  something  of  a  deterrent,  but 
there  is  no  evidence  to  show  that  it  has  ever  proven 
particularly  satisfactory  to  the  patient.  It  is  the 
duty  of  the  medical  profession  to  discourage  these 
heroic  measures,  for  the  disease  is  quite  prevalent 
among  doctors,  and  good  men  are  already  sufficiently 
scarce.  A  reputation  and  a  fortune  await  him  who 
discovers  a  remedy  for  motor  fever — something  that 
will  do  the  work  with  neatness  and  dispatch,  without 
endangering  the  life  of  the  victim  or  jeopardizing  the 
hereafter  of  the   rest  of    the    community. — Medical

Scouring  in  Horses 

Is  very  common  in  some  localities,  induced  by  indigestible  or 
irritating  feed,  presence  of  worms,  bots,  purgative  condition  pow- 
ders, too  much  water,  disorders  of  tbe  liver  Flat-sided  and  nar- 
row-lolned  (fast  traveling)  horses  will  scour  often  without  appar- 
ent causes.  Sometimes  scouring  is  the  attempt  of  nature  to  get 
rid  of  injurious  matter  in  tbe  intestines  It  is  well  to  aid  her  in 
this  effort.  In  this  case  a  pint  to  a  pint  and  a  half  of  raw  linseed 
oil  mixed  with  an  ounce  of  turpentine  should  be  given,  and  twen- 
ty-four hours  later  feed  a  measure  of  Manhattan  Food  three  times 
a  day,  mixed  with  the  proper  amount  of  oats,  and  continue  for  at 
least  two  months.    This  will  invarlablyresult  in  a  radical  cure.

The  American  Trotter  Leads. 


General  Treatment  ot  Wounds. 


The  American  trotter  is  winning  his  way,  and  in  no 
one  branch  of  usefulness  is  he  more  popular  than  a«  a 
heavy  harness  horse.  The  Horse  Show -Monthly  pub- 
lishes a  communication  from  Henry  Windish,  at 
present  manager  of  Mrs.  Pullman's  stable  in  Chicago, 
in  which  he  presents  strongly  and  convincingly  the 
strong  points  of  the  trotter  as  a  heavy  harness  horse. 
Henry  Windish  has  bought,  driven  and  had  experi- 
ence with  heavy  harness  horseB  in  Germany.  France, 
England  and  the  United  States  for  thirty  years.  His 
opinion  is  worth  a  great  deal.  We  present  herewith 
some  extracts  from  his  article: 

"We  have  been  treated  to  a  deal  of  argument  pro 
and  con  about  the  merits  of  the  hackney  and  the 
standard  bred  trotter  as  heavy  harness  horses. 
Easterners  have  gone  wild  over  the  cocky  show  ring 
appearanoe  of  the  hackney,  his  round  and  chubby 
conformation,  and  his  high-stepping  ability.  They 
do  not,  I  think,  look  far  enough.  They  simply  re- 
gard the  appearance  of  the  horse,  and  do  not  stop  to 
consider  his  ability  to  do  the  things  required  of  a 
heavy  harness  horse  in  America. 

Even  in  the  English  show  ring  we  have  seen  such 
horEes  as  Governor  Brown,  standard  bred,  beat  all 
comers  in  England.  So  did  Piloteer  the  Pilot 
Medium  horse.  Mr.  George  Hume  took  a  trotting 
bred  four  to  England  and  beat  all  comers,  including 
the  best  of  British  hackneys. 

The  distinction  ought  to  be  made  in  the  heavy  har- 
ness horse  class,  whether  the  horse  is  to  be  used  for 
park  and  boulevard  driving,  or  for  road  work  at  a 
country  estate,  driving  to  the  station,  postoffice,  etc., 
and  taking  long  rides,  and  last,  the  horse  for  the 
show  ring.  For  use  in  crowded  streets  I  want  a 
soappy-going,  stoutly-built  horse,  large  enough  to 
start  and  stop  a  carriage  with  as  T.ttle  exertion  as 
possible,  with  lots  of  energy  and  ambition,  a  horse 
which  does  not  require  pushing. 

There  are  American  stallions  that  for  several 
generations  back  can  show  substance,  action,  good 
looks,  conformation,  and  what  most  hackneys  have 
not  got,  speed.  There  is  another  drawback  to  the 
hackney,  that  is,  good  color  without  flash  markings, 
an  advertising  sign  in  their  face,  and  a  lot  of  white 
stockings.  A  lady  does  not  care  to  have  an  advertis- 
ing sign  in  front  of  her  carriage. 

For  park  and  boulevard  driving  in  our  American 
cities,  where  drives  are  from  twelve  to  fifteen  and 
twenty  miles  long,  we  must  have  horses  of  grand 
appearance,  with  plenty  of  free  action,  loose  from  the 
shoulder,  that  can  cover  twenty  miles  in  two  hours, 
and  come  in,  bearing  reins  loose,  fighting  for  the  steel. 
To  do  this  we  must  have  horses  not  too  close  to  the 
ground,  and  not  too  stoutly  built.  The  hackney  will 
never  do  for  this;  at  least  not  those  1  have  had  any- 
thing to  do  with,  and  those  that  I  have  seen  and  read 
about,  and  those  that  English  and'Scotch  buyers  of 
American  coachers  for  foreign  markets  have  told  me 
about.  From  all  I  have  been  able  to  see  and  learn,  he 
is  stout,  very  near  to  the  ground,  puts  his  feet  back 
into  about  the  same  place  from  where  he  picks  them, 
cannot  cover  the  ground,  and  is  often  ill  tempered. 

"Bead  what  the  Illustrated  Sporting  and  Dramatic 
Rews  of  London  has  to  say,  that  even  the  big  dealers 
on  the  other  side  all  say  that  the  best  carriage  horses 
they  get  and  deal  in  are  American  bred  from  trotting 
strains,  that  they  are  by  far  the  kindest  mannered 
animals,  and  you  have  the  pleasing  knowledge  that 
they  can  go  on  if  required.  This  from  an  English 
paper,  and  here  we  have  an  American  newspaper  ad- 
vising our  government  to  import  the  hackney  to  breed 
from.  I  have  seen  many  hackneys,  read  about  more, 
have  seen  their  pictures  in  the  advertising  columns  of 
our  papers,  and  heard  a  lot  from  dealers  who  have 
bad  exper.ence  with  them,  1,  as  a  coachman,  do  not 
want  them.     Give  me  the  American  trotter." 


Illihee  Stake. 


The  following  are  the  entries  as  received  in  the 
above  stake  for  two-year-old  trotters  and  pacers  to  be 
raced  for  at  North  Yakima,  Wash.,  this  fall:

Whatever  form  of  wound  we  are  called  upon  to  treat 
we  should  proceed  to  attend  to  four  points,  io-wit: 
First,  to  stop  the  bleeding,  if  any:  second,  to  wash, 
clean  and  disinfect  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  excessive  inflamation.  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, drawn  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,  rubbing  it  with  a 
piece  of  ice,  putting  cobwebs  into  the  wound,  or 
syringing  it  out  with  cold  water,  will  quickly  i.heck  it. 
Second,  to  cleanse  the  wound:  This  is  best  done  by 
pouring  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  or  dirt,  etc.,  can  be 
picked  out  with  a  pair  of  forceps.  Nothing  is  so  useful 
for  a  cleansing  wash  as  a  weak  solution  of  creoleum, 
using  one  to  two  ounces  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  sticking  plaster  or  bandages. 
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 
raiser,  and  he  should  practice  their  use  upon  dead 
animals.  When  they  are  not  convenient  the  edges  of 
the  wound  may  be  held  together  by  inserting  a  strong 
pin  and  twisting  a  thread  like  a  figure  eight.  The 
sutures  are  generally  removed  on  the  fifth  or  sixth 
day.  As  to  local  applications,  after  the  wound  is  thus 
put  up,  they  are  found  in  any  quantity. 

Fourth,  to  prevent  inflammation:  The  oldest  stock 
raisers  and  veterinarians  had  a  great  fear  of  "wound 
fever,"  or  "initiation  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  dis- 
appeared from  human  surgery,  but  still  holds  its 
ground  with  many  stock  men  and  some  veterinarians, 
but  it  is  a  pernicious  error.  All  that  is  needed  is  to 
prevent  too  violent  reaction  after  a  wound — and  that 
is  what  is  meant  by  wound  fever — is  to  keep  the  ani- 
mal 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  any  pain  nothing  equals  a  full  dose  of 
laudanum. 

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  daily  are  never  approached  by  flies  or  maggots, 
a  point  that  must  always  be  watched  in  the  lower  ani- 
mals. 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  the 
wound  and  destroy  them  promptly.  Ragged  edges 
and  pieces  of  dead  skin  and  flesh  should  be  cut  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 
thoroughly  swabbed  with  a  feather  or  a  piece  of  tow 
on  end  of  stick,  with  a  disinfecting  and  stimulating 
lotion,  in  which  also  small  pieces  of  tow  or  clean  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  this  bandage  need  not  be  removed  as  long 
as  the  parts  appear  progressing  favorably  and  the 
animal  is  comfortable. 


TOZER'S     GOSSIP. 


Jackson's  Napa  Soda  is  sold  in    every    city, town 
and  hamlet  in  the  State. 


The  racing  game  at  Emeryviile  is  now  at  its  most 
lively  stage.  The  fields  are  larger  than  at  any  time 
during  the  long  session,  the  betting  is  heavier  and 
the  attendance  at  its  highest  point.  All  this  is  due  to 
the  closing  of  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  and  hundreds 
of  men  and  horses  coming  up  from  the  Southern  city 
to  swell  the  list  of  players,  bookmakers  and  horse- 
owners.  The  Los  Angeles  folks  did  a  very  wise  thiog 
when  they  cut  their  dates  to  fit  the  tourist  season 
proper,  or  concluded  to  shorten  the  season  some 
twenty-one  days.  It  is  a  good  paying  proposition 
when  the  Eastern  crowd  of  tourists  is  on  hand,  a 
losing  one  when  they  have  departed.  This  cut  will 
help  the  local  game  along,  too,  for  a  host  of  good 
horses  will  come  to  Emeryville  and  race  for  6evera 
weeks  before  i/oing  East—  that  is,  if  things  are  fixed, 
up  between  the  warring  turf  magnates  so  that   a   per. 


son  of  republican  tendencies  can  go  anywhere  and 
race,  provided  he  conducts  himself  honorably  and 
runs  his  horses  to  win.  It's  my  belief  that  Condon  is 
as  good  as  beaten  in  his  fight  against  Corrigan  and 
that  he  is  too  smart  a  man  not  to  embrace  the  oppor- 
tunity of  coming  in  out  of  the  wet  when  the  white 
flag  is  floating  to  the  breeze.  With  racingin  Missouri 
dead  after  June  16th  and  in  Tennessee  after  Decem- 
ber 1st  next,  what  is  left  to  the  Western  Jockey  Club? 
Why,  just  Washington  Park  and  Harlem  (Chicago), 
Oaklawn  (Hot  Springs),  Little  Rock  (a  dead  place 
where  they  don't  race  these  days),  and  Crescent  City 
course,  New  Orleans.  Their  mainstays,  (the  Fart- 
Grounds  and  Delmar,  at  St.  Louis,  and  Montgomery 
Park,  at  Memphis)  have  been  swept  off  the  racing 
landscape  Against  the  tracks  mentioned  Corrigan 
and  the  American  Turf  Association  will  have  the  fol- 
lowing courses  to  represent  them:  Worth  and  Haw- 
thorne, near  Chicago;  Latonia  and  Louisville,  in  Ken- 
tucky; Essex  Park,  Hot  Springs;  Fair  Groundstrack, 
Indianapolis,  Ind  ;  City  Park,  New  Orleans;  Grosse 
Point  and  Highland  Park  tracts,  Detroit,  and  the 
Fort  Erie,  Canada,  track. 


Gov.  Folk  is  so  bitter  that  he  talks  of  calling  a 
special  session  at  Jefferson  City  to  stop  racing  around 
St.  Louis  forthwith.  This  will  hardly  be  done,  but  it 
does  look  as  if  racing  people  would  have  a  hard  row 
to  hoe  for  many  moons  in  Missouri. 

The  redoubtable  Dr.  Leggo  added  another  laurel  to 
his  glory  crown  last  Wednesday,  when  he  ran  a  mile 
and  fifty  yards  in  1:42J  with  ridiculous  ease,  110  lbs. 
up,  against  an  all-aged  field.  Honiton  on  Tuesday 
took  up  120  lbs.  and  waltzed  off  five  and  one-half  fur- 
longs in  1:C6|,  Americano  pressing  her  rather  closely 
at  the  wind-up. 

Knapp  is  now  the  rider  most  in  demand  by  the 
public  and  horse  owners,  though  Larsen  Fountain, 
Bullman,  Clark  and  Jones  are  much  in  the  pjblieeye. 

Max  Miller  was  exonerated  by  the  stewards  because, 
as  was  stated,  he  flashed  a  hundred-dollar  ticket  for 
place  only  on  Gold  Enamel  Oh,  how  easy  it  is  to  be 
exonerated,  if  a  little  piece  of  pasteboard  is  all  that  is 
required!  I  would  again  suggest  to  the  stewards  that, 
for  the  protection  of  the  public,  they  refuse  to  accept 
the  entrv  of  such  horses  as  Gold  Enamel  and  Hans 
Wagner,  and  when  a  horse  like  Hainault  runs  a  good 
race  on  the  dry  heshould  be  expected  to  keep  up  the 
good  work  for  a  little  while,  at  least.  Down  in 
Australia  I  am  informed  that  they  keep  a  horse  in  the 
background — don't  try  with  him — for  more  than  a 
year  sometimes.  But  when  that  horse  is  "cut  loose" 
and  makes  a  grand  showing,  woe  betide  the  whole  out- 
fit if  he  doesn't  run  up  to  the  mark  thereafter.  Off 
the  turf  they  go,  boots  and  baggage,  and  never  to 
return,  either.  Here  things  are  different.  A  horse 
runs  disgracefully  (about  every  other  time)  like  Gold 
Enamel.  All  that  seems  to  be  required  to  set  the 
owner  right  is  a  bit  of  pasteboard  showing  the  he  only 
played  the  horse  for  place  when  he  turned  up  a  winner. 
However,  who  knows  that  he  did  not  have  a  few  com- 
missioners "setting  it  in"  on  the  horse  to  win?  In  the 
case  of  Gold  Enamel,  he  ought  to  have  been  disquali- 
fied that  day,  if  justice  was  to  be  done,  as  he  fouled 
both  Sea  Air  and  True  Wing,  the  second  and  third 
horses  at  the  finish,  respectively.  That  action  (dis- 
qualification) would  have  been  about  the  right  thing, 
as  it  would  have  shown  the  owner  of  the  copper-on- 
and-copper-off  colt  how  the  public  generally  felt  when 
they  placed  confidence  in  him  when  at  a  short  price. 


I  believe  every  well-regulated  jockey  club  should 
have  a  couple  of  good  "reserve  riders"  in  their  employ 
and  when  one  of  those  owners  who  seldom  wiu  at  a 
short  price  has  a  horse  in  that  goes  back  suspiciously 
in  the  betting,  one  of  these  "reserve"  boys  should  be 
clapped  on  at  the  very  last  moment  and  the  horses 
sent  on  their  way  without  the  making  of  any  new 
book.  Thus,  if  the  owner  who  did  not  like  the  price 
was  "cutting"  with  some  bookmaker  both  would  be 
financially  burned  if  the  horse  won,  as  it  should,  and 
the  public  would  be  protected.  The  guilty  would  be 
sufficiently  punished  by  losing  his  coin  and  that  of  his 
friend  the  penciler,  while  the  public  would  have 
received  "a  run  for  its  money." 

Ralph  H.  Tozee. 


It  seems  but  a  very  few  years  since  a  record  of  2:30 
placed  a  trotter  in  what  was  then  called  the  "charmed 
circle. "  Then,  as  speed  was  more  generally  developed 
those  in  the  2:20  list  were  recognized  as  belonging  to 
the  exclusive  set,  but  even  they  got  to  be  common  and 
the  real  top  notchers  were  those  in  the  2:15  list  and 
now  the  2:10  performers  are  the  only  ones  that  are 
recognized  as  the  real  things.  It  will  not  be  long 
until  the  trotting  four  hundred  will  be  required  to 
have  2:05  or  better  after  their  names.

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The   Ingleside   attraction   tomorrow    will    be   the 
regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  Union  Gun  Club. 


The  second  team  shoot  between  Uoion  and  Empire 
Gun  Club  shooters  took  place  at  Alameda  Junction 
last  Sunday;  the  first  mentioned  club  representatives 
won.  Instead  of  18  men  on  each  team  there  was  but 
15  on  each  side,  the  Empire  fell  short  three  men.  The 
scores  shot  were: 

Dnion— Harvey  13,  Daniels  18.  Iverson  10,  Holling

The  third  blue  rock  shoot  of  the  season  held  by  the 
Santa  Clara  County  Fish  and  Game  Protective  Asso- 
ciation took  place  last  Sunday  morning  on  the  club 
shooting  grounds  neitr  the  Bridge  House  on  the 
MoDtorey  road.  A  slight  wind  kept  the  day  from 
bein  -  as  perfect  as  it  otherwise  would  have  been 

Q.ilte  a  number  of  club  members  were  present  The 
vai nucloB  on  the  entry  list  made  by  the  absence  of 
son  e  of  the  old  shooters  were  filled  by  six  or  seven 
ne  members.  N.  B.  Cadwallader  again  broke  the 
mi  -t  birds  out  of  the  twenty  Bred  at,  but  Whclanand 


Darriman  broke  19  apiece  in  the  club  shoot  at  25 
targets. 

Among  the  shooters  present  were:  Cadwallader, 
Schilling,  Owens,  Cushing,Tompkins,  Holmes,Barnes, 
W.  Lillick,  McKagney,  Bettman,  Sampson,  Larman, 
C.  Nash,  H.  Lillick,  Tischer,  C.  A.  Whelan,  C.  H. 
Darriman,  Ben  Kooser,  E.  B.  Potter,  A.  E.  Elmer, 
and  P.  H.  Doble.  

The  Santa  Lucia  Gun  Club  held  its  second  practice 
blue  rock  shoot  on  its  grounds  at  the  Salinas  race 
track  Sunday  forenoon.  The  day  was  perfect  and 
good  scores  were  made.  Twelve  men  faced  the  traps, 
the  results  of  the  25  target  match  are  as  follows: 

Smart  23,  Freitas  22,  Greene  21,  Littlefleld  20, 
Anderson  20,  Iverson  20,  White  19,  Vierra  19,  Sargent 
18,  Rohde  1 7,  Kalar  1  7,  Butler  16 

Among  the  guests  who  figured  in  the  shoot  were 
Harry  A.  Greene,  expert  wing  shot  of  Monterey,  and 
Rollin  J.  Vierra  of  Blanco. 


The  Vallejo  Gun  Club  held  the  first  regular  club 
shoot  of  the  season  at  their  new  grounds  Sunday 
afternoon  last.  The  scores  shot  in  the  25  target  club 
race  were:  John  Sreig  22,  J.  S.  Woods  22,  S.  A. 
Magistrini  (aged  12  vears)  20,  M.  A.  Clark  20,  C.  A.

In  several  matches  at  doubles  J.  V.  O'Hara  and  W. 
A.  Roney  carried  off  the  honors  D.  W.  King,  Jr., 
representing  a  San  Francisco  powder  house  was  a 
visitor  to  the  grounds 


The  California  Wing  Club  shoot  for  April  came  off 
at  Ingleside  last  Sunday.  Good  scores  were  the  aver- 
age and  birds  were  lively  enough  for  the  most  exacting 
trap  shot.  Among  the  visitors  was  Mr.  J.  T.  Skelly 
of  Wilmington,  Del.,  who  shot  as  a  guest  of  the  club. 
The  wiuners  of  the  club  purse  in  the  12  bird  race  were 
Messrs.  Golcher,  Donohoe,  Barker  aud  Nauman,  who 
divided  fonr  moneys,  the  balance  was  cut  up  by  the 
shooters  who  scored  eleven  birds.  The  six  bird  races 
followed  the  club  shoot,  high  guns  taking  the  moneys. 

The  scores  shot  were  the  following: 

Club  race,  12  pigeons,  $75  added,  five  moneys,  dis- 
tance handicap — 

Nauman 31  yds— 12212  22122  22—12

We  cull  the  following  par  from  the  Los  Angeles 
rimes  of  the  2d  inst: 

Several  Santa  Ana  and  Pomona  scattergun  sharks 
are  planning  to  participate  in  the  monthly  practice 
shoos  of  the  local  gun  cluo  at  its  grouuds  near  Sher- 
man today. 

The  Hip  Justine'  Medal  and  the  new  Hunter  Arms 
Co.  Medal  will  be  contested  for.  S.  A.  Tucker  of 
Parker  Bros.,  who  is  now  in  town  has  promised  to 
come  out  and  help  the  boys  turn  'em  over. 

From  now  on,  practice  shoots  will  be  the  rule  every 
Sunday.  The  big  tournament  is  not  faraway  and  the 
local  cracks  desire  to  get  their  arms  and  eyes  into  the 
best  of  form  before  it  opens. 

An  effort  will  be  made  to  shoot  off  the  entire  tourna- 
ment over  the  Leggetl  trap,  but  the  "Experts"  will 
be  held  in  reserve  if  the  entry  is  so  heavy  as  to  justify 
their  use.  The  Leggett  machine  seems  more  economi- 
cal and  does  not  require  so  many  to  handle  it. 

Following  the  above,  Scribe  Hedderly  gives  us  some 
more  timely  notes  anent  the  sport  in  the  lower  end  of 
the  State:' 

"Bluerock  week"  is  the  latest. 

Southern  California  sporting  already  has  Its  weeks 
of  tennis,  of  polo,  of  horse  shot"  and  fall  fair.  Nothing 
is  done  by  halves,  and  the  ever-popular  game  of  trap 
shooting  is  now  to  be  given  its  full  share  of  the  fun 
seeker's  time. 

Every  spring  several  two-day  tournaments  are  held 


by  the  various  gun  clubs  in  Santa  Ana,  San  Diego, 
San  Bernardino,  Los  Angeles  and  other  points  equally 
accessible.  The  scatter-gun  sharks  skirmish  around 
tbe  circuit  from  one  to  another  as  freely  as  business 
will  permit,  but  owing  to  inability  to  get  together  on 
dates,  considerable  hardship  has  been  worked  to  the 
attendance  of  each  event. 

Tournament  committees  finally  awoke  to  the  fact, 
and  the  result  is  now  an  almost  unbroken  week's 
stretch  of  bluerock  shootine,  beginning  with  the  big 
semi-annual  tournament  of  the  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club 
at  its  grounds  near  Sherman.  Saturday,  April  22d, 
and  concluding  the  following  Sunday,  April  23d.  The 
programme  for  this  event  has  already  been  circulated 
among  the  trigger  fraternity  who  will  now  be  glad  to 
learn  that  Santa  Ana's  knights  of  the  double  barrel 
have  come  forward  with  another  two  days'  tourna- 
ment to  open  in  that  city  Tuesday,  April  25th,  con- 
tinuing through  Wednesday  and  possibly  into  Thurs- 
day, according  to  the  attendance.  A  liberal  assort- 
ment of  good  things  is  scheduled,  and  the  well-estab- 
lished reputation  of  the  Santa  Anans  for  doing  the 
right  thing  in  the  right  way  is  likely  to  be  upheld. 

From  the  Orange  county  metropolis,  the  gunners 
can  climb  aboard  a  train  for  San  Diego,  where  the 
Pastime  Gun  Club  will  open  its  two  day's  spring  shoot 
Saturday  morning,  April  28.  The  added  money 
featuies  are  quite  up  to  tbe  average  of  past  years,  and 
the  largest  atteddance  of  crack  saucer  splinterers 
ever  gathered  at  the  city  of  "bay 'n  climate"  is  being 
prepared  for  already,  though  several  weeks  must 
elapse  before  tbe  opening. 

By  virtue  of  this  convenient  arrangement  of  dates, 
the  attendance  at  all  of  the  shoots,  beginning  with 
Los  Angeles,  will  be  greatly  in  excess  of  anything 
heretofore  recorded.  San  Francisco  is  to  be  repre- 
sented by  a  full  squad  of  leading  experts,  headed  by 
the  veteran  Clarence  Nauman,  while  another  five  will 
be  on  the  ground  from  Arizona,  under  the  able 
captaincy  of  "Pumpgun"  McDonald,  the  fat  firestick 
prophet  of  Phoenix  and  Tucson.  Both  these  squads 
mean  to  go  right  on  down  the  line  to  Santa  Ana  and 
San  Diego.  A  number  of  Los  Angeles  marksmen  will 
do  the  same,  and  a  great  "boost"  to  the  game  is  ex- 
pected in  consequence. 

Should  the  gun  clube  of  Oceanside  or  some  other  of 
the  towns  which  lie  within  the  route  desire  to  pull  off 
a  one-day  shoot,  Thursday  and  Friday  will  be 
available  for  it,  thereby  completely  filling  up  tbe 
week.  Most  gunners  will  be  glad  of  a  day's  rest  after 
Saturday  and  Sunday  at  Sherman,  but  with  that 
training  behind  tbem  may  feel  prepared  to  go  right 
on  down  the  circuit.     

The  Mount  View  Gun  Club  will  shoot  blue  rocks  on 
tbe  first  and  third  Sundays  monthly  during  the  cur- 
rent trap  shooting  season. 

Last  Sunday  the  club  shoot  was  attended  by  a  num- 
ber of  San  Jose  shooters.  Mr.  W.  A.  Robertson,  of 
this  city,  who,  by  the  way,  is  very  popular  with  Coast 
shooters,  was  also  present. 

A  summary  of  scores  shot  during  the  day  is  as 
follows: 

Mount  View  Gun  Club  members — C.  Whelan,  shot 
at  150,  broke  98;  Kooser  140-99;  Wilson  65-40:  Distle 
40-27;  M.  Whelan  60-38;  Mande  85  62;  Darriman  205- 
164  San  Jose  shooters — Schilling  shot  at  110,  broke 
87;  Van  Sickle  90-57;  Barker  (J)  180-151;  Cadwallader 
120-103.     W.  A.  Robsrtson,  San  Francisco,  140-106. 


The  San  Jose  trap  shooting  devotees  will  hold  regu- 
lar shoots  on  the  second  and  fourth  Sundays  of  each 
month  during  the  present  season. 

Trap  shooting  at  Biggs,  Butte  county,  and  vicinity 
has  a  strong  following  among  the  sporttmen  of  that 
section.  Henry  Haselbusch,  secretary  and  manager 
of  the  Biggs  Gun  Club,  writes  us  that  a  two-days' 
blue  rock  tournament  will  take  place  at  Biggs  on 
September  30th  and  October  1st.  There  will  be 
liberal  added  money  inducements  and  a  big  list  of 
merchandise  prizes. 

The  Davisville  Gun  Club  held  a  blue  rock  shoot  on 
the  2nd  inst.  A  number  of  Woodland  shooters  were 
present  and  took  part  in  the  events.  The  Davisville 
Bhooters  were  at  Woodlaod,  last  Sunday.  The  fol- 
lowing scores  were  made,  after  a  ten  bird  waim-up  by 
those  who  were  early  on  the  ground: 

Fifteen  target  race— E.  L.  Fissel  13  Bert  Mont- 
gomery 15,  Arthur  Ough  8,  Chas.  Philliber  13,  Wm.

The  last  event  was  a  freeze-out  on  doubles,  Fissell 
leading  with  11  out  of  .12,  missiDg  his  fourth  bird, 
Grieve  lost  his  fourth  and  twelfth  birds. 


NO     TKO0T     IN     TBUCKEE     RIVER. 

The  numerous  fishermen  who  have  spent  many  hours 
along  the  banks  of  tbe  Truckee  river  report  that  the 
stream  is  barren  of  trout.  Those  who  can  speak  upon 
the  subject  with  some  authority  say  that  the  condi- 
tion is  brought  about  by  the  many  dams  constructed 
along  the  river  east  of  Truckee  as  "far  as  Floriston.

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


SANTA     CRUZ     HATCHERY. 

Although  the  new  trout  hatchery  at  Brookdale, 
Santa  Cruz  county,  is  not  a  local  affair,  local  anglers 
are  much  interested  in  it,  for  the  reason  that  they 
whip  the  streams  of  Santa  Cruz  as  freely  as  do  the 
anglers  of  that  county,  hence  they  expect  to  benefit 
by  the  stocking  of  the  streams  on  the  other  side  of 
the  summit  from  the  hatchery,  which  is  now  neariog 
completion.  It  is  expected  that  within  a  week  it  will 
be  in  first  class  working  order.  The  main  building  is 
finished  and  is  undoubtedly  the  largest  and  best  con- 
structed fish  hatchery  building  in  the  State.  The 
flume  is  ready  to  take  the  waters  from  Clear  Creek  to 
the  hatchery. 

Workmen  have  begun  to  clear  the  grounds  for  the 
fish  ponds,  which  will  ue  filled  with  full-grown  trout 
of  several  varieties,  to  be  furnished  by  the  State  Fish 
Commissioners  from  their  hatchery  at  Sisson. 

Professor  Frank  Shebley,  the  superintendent  of  the 
Brookdale  hatchery,  has  secured  over  1,000.000  steel- 
head  eggs,  200,000  of  which  have  already  been  hatched. 
The  mpjority  of  these  eggs  were  taken  from  fish  in 
the  Soquel  Creek  and  the  balance  from  the  San 
Lorenzo  river  Professor  Shebley  states  that  he  will 
handle  5,000.000  eggs  next  year  at  the  Brookdale 
hatchery.  The  product  of  these  eggs  will  be  planted 
in  all  Santa  Cruz  county  streams. 


Both  the  anglers  occupied  the  same  room  at  Roche- 
fort's  hostelry.  The  "Dook"  retired  rather  early  in- 
tending to  get  out  on  the  stream  before  the  dew  was 
gone.  The  President  met  a  congenial  coterie  of  sports- 
men, all  of  them  being  devotees  of  the  ancient  and 
honorable  pastime  of  whiskey  poker.  When  the  party 
broke  up,  Lemmer  went  up  stairs  to  his  quarters  in- 
tending to  "turn  in"  for  a  short  nap.  Taking  a 
bunch  of  keys,  etc.,  out  of  his  pocket  be  placed  the 
things  on  the  bureau,  among  the  stuff  there  was 
several  white  poker  chips.  The  ('Dook"  by  this  time 
had  "turned  out"  and  was  nearly  ready  to  be  off  with 
his  rod.  A  bit  of  timely  persiflage  went  back  and 
forth  between  the  two,  when  the  "Dook"  asked  as  he 
noticed  the  chips,  "I  say,  Johnny  me  boy,  what  are 
these  bloomin'  things?" 

Lemmer  replied  promptly  "Oh,  I  had  abad  nervous 
headache  yesterday,  and  those  are  some  tablets  I 
bought  at  a  drug  store." 

"Well, I  don't  feel  very  bright  this  morning  myself," 
said  the  "Dook."  '  Are  they  easy  to  take,  they  look 
pretty  big,  me  boy?" 

"No,  they  are  easy,"  said  Lemtm  r,  "just  try  one." 

The  "Dook"  promptly  slipped  a  chip  into  his  face 
and  washed  it  down  with  a  good  measure  of  grog 

The  "Dook"  did  not  stay  out  fishing  very  long  that 
morning.  When  he  came  back  Rochefort  was  taken 
into  confidence  and  he  suggested  an  emetic.  The 
"Dook"  was  none  the  worse  for  the  joke  but  he  has 
almost  lost  faith  in  the  President. 


A    BLUE    JAY    BATTUE. 

The  Sacramento  trap  grounds  were  deserted  last 
Sunday,  capitol  citj  shooters  reinforced  by  brother 
sportsmen  of  the  vicinity  turned  out  en  masse  for  a 
round  up  of  blue  jays.  During  the  day  over  500  of 
the  noisy  birds  were  killed. 

Wbile  tne  objective  effect  of  the  "side  hunt"  was 
laudable  in  its  inception  and  purpose  and  prompted 
no  doubt  by  a  legitimate  desire  to  destroy  (alleged) 
game  and  Qgg  marauding  birds  we  feel  impelled  to 
advise  a  bit  of  caution  in  the  almost  universal  feeling 
of  antipathy  toward  the  blue  jays  that  prompts  a 
shot  at  one  every  time  the  chance  to  kill  a  jay  is 
presented. 

Unless  we  are  muchly  mistaken  the  Biological 
Bureau  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculure  has 
issued  a  pamphlet  showing  that  the  blue  jay  has  a  far 
better  economic  value  than  he  is  given  credit  for.  We 
shall  give  publicity  to  this  matter  ere  long— it  will 
have  the  merit  of  showing  the  other  side  of  the  ques- 
tion at  all  events.  Popular  prpjudice  founded  in  the 
main  on  heresay  evidence  as  against  the  r3searches  of 
ornithologists  throughout  the  country.  Nature  is 
wise  in  many  ways  and  it  may  be  surprising  to  many 
to  learn  that  the  blue  j^y  has  some  good  traits  after 
all.  

HE    ''PASSED    THE    BUCK." 

President  John  Lemmer  and  the  "Dook  of  Hayden" 
were  fishing  at  Poiot  Reyes  recently.  On  tbe  return 
of  the  twain  to  the  city  the  President  related  the  fol- 
lowing incident: 


SAN    JOSE    ANGLING    NOTES. 

Fishing,  as  a  whole,  during  last  week  has  been  fair 
on  the  west  side  of  the  Santa  Clara  valley.  All 
streams  on  the  eastern  side  are  still  high,  though 
the  Alameda,  Cojote,  Santa  Ysabel  and  Smith's  creek 
are  supposed  to  hold  their  usual  number  of  fish.  So 
far  this  season  trout  fishing  is  not  as  good  as  at  the 
corresponding  time  last  year.  The  fish  are  much 
smaller.  Two  or  three  weeks  yet  will  suffice  to  show 
whether  the  high  water  is  keeping  the  larger  trout 
from  bi  ing  or  whether  there  are  no  big  fish  in  the 
local  streams. 

Worm  fishermen  have  had  two  weeks  of  sport,  and 
it  will  soon  be  time  for  the  fly  merchant.  A  few  casts 
were  made  last  Sunday  by  a  local  expert,  with  the 
gratifying  result  that  the  "banner  basket"  was  taken. 
Between  the  dam  and  the  mines  the  Guadalupe  was 
lined  with  trout  fishers,  but  the  general  statement 
was  that  all  the  fish  had  been  caught,  or  if  there  were 
any  in  the  holes  they  were  not  hungry.  The  largest 
fish  this  season  have  been  caught  in  the  Calaveras 
and  the  headwaters  of  the  Coyote.  The  trout  in 
Steven's  creek  are  smaller  than  usual,  as  are  also 
those  in  the  Llagas.  The  trout  in  Smith's  creek  are 
average  size.  

SALT     WATER     FISHING    DOAYN    SOUTH. 

A  run  of  the  biggest  pompano  ever  seen  at  Port  Los 
Angeles  put  in  its  appearance  recently,  much  to  the 
delight  of  a  few  anglers  who  happened  to  be  on  the 
long  wharf  at  the  right  time  to  intercept  twenty  or 
thirty  pounds  of  the  gamy  and  delicate  little  things. 

The  eves  of  fishermen  are  proverbially  microscopic 
when  dilating  on  the  size  of  their  own  catches,  and 
their  verdicts  usually  taste  better  when  wellseasoned, 
but  some  of  the  successful  ones  declare  they  caught 
pompano  weighing  from  one-half  to  a  full  pound  early 
in  the  week,  though  truth  to  tell,  none  of  the  latter 
siza  were  exhibited  nor  were  any  affidavits  executed. 

The  high  westerly  gales  lately  were  unfavorable  to 
the  sport  at  the  port  or  in  fact  at  any  of  the  beaches 
except  perhaps  Sin  Pedro,  which  is  fairly  well  screened 
by  the  hills  from  such  blows.  With  a  quiet,  fair 
morning,  sport  will  prove  ample  reward  to  tbose  who 
make  the  tiresome  trip  to  the  long  wha*"f,  bass  and 
sculpins  being  plentiful  there  whatever  the  state  of 
weather. 

A  number  of  trolling  parties  were  forced  to  post- 
pone their  outside  prospecting  trips  until  after  tbe 
sea  had  quited  down  from  the  westerlies  that  have 
been  blowing  of  late.  A  few  barracuda  are  beginning 
to  take  the  jigs  and  the  usual  amount  of  bonita,  albi- 
core  and  skipjacks  can  be  hooked  in  the  channel. 
Launches  which  have  skirted  tbe  kelp  around  Point 
Fermin  had  no  trouble  in  getting  nice  boxes  of  big 
bass  on  their  jigs. 

The  surf  fishing  is  practically  at  a  standstill.  No 
run  of  mackerel  has  been  reported  for  some  time, 
though  scattering  ones  are  taken  nearly  every  morn- 
ing off  the  longer  wharves. 


BUNTING    JACKALS     WITH     HOUNDS. 

A  popular  substitute  for  fox  hunting  in  India  is 
found  in  riding  to  hounds,  the  chase  being  a  jackal 
instead  of  Mons.  Reynard.  The  following  account  of 
a  recent  jackal  bunt  near  Bombay  is  taken  from  the 
Indian  Field  On  this  particular  occasion  some  forty 
members  of  the  Bombay  Jackal  Club  were  present, 
the  field  being  of  moderate  dimensions  by  reason  of 
the  demise  of  a  prominent  member  and  the  consequent 
absence  of  many  of  his  personal  friends. 

The  morning  was  an  exceedingly  cold  one  and  the 
complete  absence  of  dew  did  not  hold  out  promise  of 
good  sport.  A  jack,  however,  was  soon  found  in  the 
Parlar  Woods  which  going  away  in  tbe  direction  of 
Sabar  Hili  gave  the  field  a  regular  breather.  A  check 
of  short  duration  occurred  after  arun  of  a  few  minutes 
when  the  hounds  found  that  theii  quarry  had  doubled 
back  parallel  to  his  original  line.  After  another 
exciting  chase  lasting  about  ten  minutes  the  jack  was 
pushed  out  into  the  open  in  front  of  the  Jackal  Club, 
where  he  was  viewed.  A  further  chase  for  a  mile  and 
a  half  culminated  in  the  pack  pulling  their  quarry 
down  near  the  Coorla  Rifle  Butts.  The  field  next 
retook  themselves  to  Sahar,  where  a  well-known  covert 
provided  a  jack,  but  the  hounds  after  running  in  vety 
uncertain  fashion  for  half  a  dozen  fields  threw  up, 
and  although  some  time  was  spent  in  investigating 
every  possible  line  of  fl'ght,  nothing  further  could  be 
made  Lf  this  jack.  A  move  was  then  made  for  the 
brushwood  coverts  behind  the  Andheri  Road  close  to 
Marole  Valley,  where  a  third  jack  was  found  which  led 
the  field  at  a  killing  pace  across  the  paddy  fields  and 
over  the  grassland  ahead  for  a  distance  of  two  miles, 
the  pack  leading  the  foremost  riders  by  nearly  a 
quarter  of  a  mile,  a  most  unusual  occurrence  with  the 
Bombay  hounds  in  fair  riding  country.  The  chase  was 
continued  at  racing  speed  towards  Goregaum  and  over 
the  railway  line,  where  after  a  run  which  lasted  thirty 
minutes  without  a  single  check  and  at  racing  speed 
from  start  to  finish,  the  jack  surrendered  his  brush. 
This  finished  the  morning's  sport  as  the  pack  at  the 
erd  of  the  run  were  thoroughly  tfone  whilenot  a  third 
of  the  field  could  have  got  another  gallop  out  of  their 
mounts.  His  Excellency  Lord  Lamington  was  out 
for  the  third  time  this  season  and  was  well  up  at  the 
finish  of  both  runs. 


DOINGS  IN   DOGCOM. 


A    BREEDERS'    CLUB. 

It  would  seem  that  Marsh  Byers  of  Grand  Rapids, 
Mich.,  struck  a  popular  idea  in  proposing  the  forma- 
tion of  a  Breeders'  Club  judging  from  the  hearty  ap- 
proval his  plan  has  received  from  leading  kennel  men 
says  Harry  Lacey  in  the  Boston  Herald.  In  his  pro- 
spectus, Mr.  Byers  says:  "Tbe  Dog  Breeders'  Club 
of  America,  as  its  name  implies,  will  be  thoroughly 
American,  and  be  composed  of  individual  members, 
and  each  member  an  exhibitor,  or  otherwise,  will 
have  equal  privileges.  The  club  will  endeayor  to  fill 
its  special  and  unoccupied  field  of  usefulness  in  the 
encouragement  *nd  promotion  of  dog  sho  fa  and  dog 
breeders  of  the  several  and  popular  lines,  followed  by 
the  breeders  and  associations  representing  all  other 
classes  of  pure-bred  domestic  animals.  The  classifica- 
tion recommended  is  as  follows:  Dogs:  Puppies,  6 
months  and  under  12  months;  yearlings,  12  months 
and  under  24  months;  two-year-olds,  24  months  and 
under  36  months;  three-year  olds,  36  months  and 
under  48  months.  Free-for-all  class  for  first  prize 
winners,  champions  not  barred.  BitcheB:  Puppies, 
6  mouths  and  under  12  months;  yearlings,  12  months 
and  under  24  months;  two-year-olds,  24  months  aiid 
under  36  months;  three-year  olds,  36  months  and 
under  49  months.  Free-for-all  class  for  first  prize 
winners,  champions  not  barred.  In  addition  to  the 
above,  a  dog  winning  three  first  prizes  in  free-for  all 
class  is  entitled  to  be  called  champion.  An  exception 
to  the  above  can  be  made  in  Spaniels,  where  elapses 
may  be  divided  by  color.  Also  in  others  where  weight 
is  a  customary  division.  Breeders'  classes  are  pro- 
vided wherein  a  bitch  and  her  prod  uce,  sires  and  their 
get,  kennel  prizes,  showing  sire  and  dam,  one  or  both. 
In  fact,  the  description  from  the  breeder's  standpoint 
is  almost  endless.  The  reader  will  note  that  these  are 
only  ideas  and  are  submitted  for  consideration.  The 
Breeders' Club  is  as  yet  unorganized  and  needs  the 
breeders  of  America  to  bacfc  up  its  promotion,  after 
which  it  will  become  a  permanent  fixture,  and  rec- 
ognized, as  it  will  be,  by  the  breeders'  clubB  of 
America,  it  will  stand  on  a  substantial  foundation." 


COLLIES    WANTED    IN    THE    EAST 

Mr.  Thos.  S.  Griffiths,  of  Spokane,  Informs  us  that 
he  had  received  a  wire  offer  on  the  5th  inst.  from 
"the  East"  tendering  a  good  figure  for  Glen  Tana 
Bounder  and  Glen  Tana  Cracksman.  The  offer  will 
be  closed  and  the  dogs  were  to  be  shipped  uhis  week, 
it  was  intimated. 

Mr.  Griffiths  is  to  be  congratulated  upon  the  recog- 
nition of  his  efforts  in  the  interest  of  the  breed  We 
had  hoped  to  see  both  of  the  dogs  above  mentioned 
at  the  'Frisco  show. 

Glen  Tana  Kennels  will  probably  be  represented 
here  by  Glen  Tana  Marquis,  Glen  Tana  Piccolo  and 
the  bitches  Brandane  Marionslea,  Rippowam's  Rain- 
bow and  Rippowam's  Radiance. 

The  Spokane  Kennels  is  unquestionably  the  leading 
Collie  establishment  on  this  Continent  West  of  the 
Mississippi  and  will  give  the  top  notchers  of  the  East 
a  close  run.

SEATTLE     KENNEL    CLDB    SHOW. 

The  Seattle  Kennel  Club's  tenth  annual  show  is  on 
in  Seattle  this  week,  April  12,  13,  14  and  15.  At  a 
recent  meeting  o  the  club  the  members  present  sub- 
scribed a  guarantee  fund  of  $550  to  cover  tbe  expenses 
of  the  show.  Fifteen  solid  silver  trophies  will  be  put 
up  for  the  winners  in  the  various  classes.  The  prizes 
will  be  given  outi  ight  to  the  owners  of  the  winning 
dogs. 

The  decision  to  hold  a  bench  show  this  year  was 
not  arrived  at  until  every  effort  had  faihd.  For  some 
months  efforts  have  been  made  to  consolidate  the  two 
kennel  clubs  of  that  city,  and  have  all  tbe  fanciers  In 
that  section  work  in  harmony  to  -uve  one  big  show. 
These  efforts  failed,  and  now  Seattle  will  have  two 
dog  shows  this  year  instead  of  one,  which  is  to  be 
regretted 

John  Riplinger,  president  of  the  Seattle  Kennel 
Club,  addressed  a  letter  to  Dr.  C.  W.  Sharpies,  presi- 
dent of  the  Seattle  Dog  Fanciers'  Association,  out- 
lining a  plan  by  which  the  two  clubs  could  consolidate. 
He  proposed  that  twenty  members  of  the  Seattle 
Kennel  Club  betaken  into  the  Seattle  Dog  Fanciers' 
Association,  without  paying  the  initiation  fee  of  $5, 
and  that  the  other  members  of  the  Seattle  Kennel 
Club  be  given  season  tickets  for  tbe  bench  show  this 
year.  In  return  the  Seattle  Kennel  Club  proposed  to 
turn  over  all  its  property  and  good  will,  and  disband, 
and  every  member  of  the  old  club  would  doeverything 
possible  to  make  the  show  of  the  new  club  a  big 
success. 

This  offer  was  rejpeted.  Ubarles  McAllster,  secre- 
tary of  the  Seattle  Dog  Fanciers' Association,  wrote 
that  the  offer  could  not  be  accepted  in  tbat  form, 
because  it  was  in  conflict  with  the  constitution  of  the 
new  club  The  constitution  of  the  new  club  provides 
that  members  must  come  in  as  individuals,  an> 
each  member  shall  pay  an  initiation  fee  of  $5.

[APRIL  15,  1905 


In  the  Heart  of  Tropical  Mexico. 

The  writer  and  Mr.  W.  J.  Robinson  of  Lincoln, 
Neb.,  left  Kansas  City  on  the  night  of  April  26,  189b, 
over  the  Rock  Island  for  a  trip  to  Mexico  City,  and  to 
pointB  southwest  on  the  Isthmus  of  Tehuantepec. 
Reaching  Mexico  City  without  mishap  and  remaining 
over  night,  we  left  next  corning  for  the  city  of  Vera 
Cruz,  over  what  is  probably  one  of  the  most  attractive 
scenic  routes  on  this  continent.  From  the  high  table 
lands  among  the  clouds,  at  the  base  of  Orizaba  peak, 
crowned  with  eternal  snow,  we  seemed  to  fall  down, 
past  cities  and  towns,  and  great  plantations  of  coffee, 
cane  and  tropical  fruits;  through  virgin  forests  with 
flaming  flowers,  down  to  the  great  coast  plain,  to  the 
fine  city  of  Vera  Cruz,  lying  spread  out  at  the  gulf 

side.  ,         .,     ., 

The  cables  brought  rumors  of  the  attack  on  Manila. 
It  was  a  restless,  leverish  night  in  the  city,  the  large 
Spanish  element  insolent  and  bitter,  the  American's 
cool  and  confident  Early  morning  cables  confirmed 
the  news  over  night  and  it  seemed  that  Admiral 
Dewey  was  getting  in  his  work. 

Robinson  and  I  left  by  early  morning  train  for 
Alvaradoand  by  afternoon  boat  from  that  point  up 
the  Cosamaloopam  river  to  a  ;own  of  that  name,  and 
the  next  day  by  boat  to  the  head  of  navigation  at 
that  time.  From  this  point,  with  horses  and  guides, 
we  plunged  into  those  great,  wonderful  forests  south 
toward  our  destination.  This  was  Sunday;  the  day's 
ride  being  over  hill  and  down  valley  through  those 
splendid  forest  scenes  that  stamped  themselves  on 
one's  memory  forever. 

At  intervals  we  saw  a  flight  of  plover  or  parrots; 
then  a  flight  of  handsome  wild  ducks,  of  a  variety 
only  found  in  that  country;  then  a  flock  of  wild 
turkeys  on  the  wing  from  one  stretch  of  woods  to  the 
next.  Then  a  deer  ambled  stealthily  out  from  a  bush 
clump  to  gaze  at  ub  with  wildeyed  wonder,  breaking 
away  with  a  leap  that  spanned  the  path.  More 
turkeys  running  at  full  speed  ahead  of  our  horses;  and 
a  score  of  Mexican  pheasants  (chuchulajas)  raised 
their  startled  cacklefrom  the  crown  of  a  lofty  palm 
or  other  trees;  at  frequent  intervals  we  heard  the 
large  monkeys  that  feed  on  palm  nuts  and  fruits. 
Overhead  were  flights  of  brilliant  macaws  or  hornbill; 
a  fierce  looking  tiger  cat  slipped  across  the  tropic 
path,  too  intent  upon  getting  his  dinner  to  care  any- 
thing for  ub. 

The  day  passed  quickly  amid  such  scenes,  and  night 
found  us  at  a  river  crossing  and  town  with  a  prospect  of 
supper  and  a  cot  for  sleeping,  which  both  of  us  welcomed 
after  the  day 's  fasting  and  hard  riding.  Early  morn- 
ing found  us  again  on  the  road.  Robinson  ahead, 
with  Tatahiucapa,  our  objective  point,  only  forty 
miles  away,  where  we  arrived  about  the  middle  of 
the  afternoon,  at  the  mercy  of  our  host,  a  Spaniard 
full  of  hate  for  us  and  all  our  tribe.  We  soothed  him 
and  a  viciouB  brother  with  bright  American  dollars; 
got  the  promise  of  bed,  meals,  boats  and  horses,  and 
settled  down  for  a  month  of  it  with  the  nearest  white 
man  over  fifty  miles  away. 

The  business  feature  of  our  trip  was  to  survey  and 
make  plats  of  a  large  tract  of  land,  about  50,000  acres, 
stretching  along  the  Colorado  river  for  forty  miles. 
Along  with  this  the  writer  wanted  to  see  something 
of  the  game  and  sporting  conditions  of  the  country. 
Our  first  afternoon  was  spent  getting  such  rest  as 
was  possible  in  our  bamboo  quarters,  open  at  all  times 
to  dogs,  pigs,  chickens  and  children,  all  of  which  there 
seemed  a  large  supply.  Our  waking  time  was  spent 
in  looking  up  our  transit,  guns,  leggings,  etc.,  and 
getting  hold  of  extra  large  hats  to  protect  against 
the  tropical  sunshine. 

Our  host  and  his  pretty  wife  seemed  to  understand 
gringos  can  eat.  Their  fatted  calf  (literally)  was 
killed;  the  supply  of  bread  and  rice  and  good  red 
wine  was  increased.  They  evidently  expected  us  to 
do  our  whole  duty  in  that  line,  and  we  did. 

The  writer  can  do  little  Spanish  talk,  Robinson  not 
a  word.  The  early  morning  found  our  horses  at  the 
door,  with  a  mozo,  or  servant,  who  did  duty  as  guide 
and  body  help.  The  landlord  was  in  front  with  the 
road  cutterB,  tape  and  stake  men,  with  a  special  man 
for  the  transit.  This  was  Saturday.  We  moved 
Indian  style.  Our  way  led  across  a  rocky  river  ford, 
then  through  a  dense  growth  of  jungle  in  the  river 
bottom  to  an  open  mesa  or  prairie  covered  with  high 
rich  grass,  with  plentiful  signs  of  bear  and  other  big 
game;  to  the  foothills  or  amall  mountains  covered  with 
short  grasB  and  small,  scattered  trees.  Deer  and 
tiger  cats  were  in  sight  nearly  all  the  time,  and  wild 
turkeys  seemed  plentiful. 

We  got  our  bearings  and  made  the  first  station  for 

establishing  a  base  line  of  operation.    Had   a  good 

dinner  from  the  morals,  or  native  bags,  with  coffee 

made  on  the  spot  and  wine  cooled  in  a  pretty  spring 

nearby,   followed   by  a  siesta  or  nap,  which  is  the 

cherished  right  of  every  one  who  lives  in  Mexico. 

The  nap  over,  all  hands  to  work;  bearlnge  were  taken 

and  the  machete  men  swung  into  line,  hacking  and 

slashing  like  so  many  demons  clearing  the  path  for 

the  base  line  of  ono  mile,  which   brought  up  to  an 

ancient  boundary  mark  known  as  the  Three  Crosses. 

From  this  point  thu  work  people  and   pack   horses 

were  sent  borne  and,  with  our  landlord  and   mozo  we 

took  a  turn  to  look  for  game.     We  had  not  gone  far 

when  a  huge  clumsy  sloth  sprawled  across  the  brow 

of  a  hill  about  a  hundred  yards  away.    The  deBire  to 

teat  our  Winchesters  proved   too  strong  and  a  shot 

rang  out  *hicb  penetrated  hie  carcass,  but  seemed  to 

give  him  little  trouble,  a  Becond  ebot  found  a  vital 

6'  ot  and  bis  slotbsblp  bit  thu  dust. 

A  short  distance  away  at  the  top  of  a  sharp  spur 

o  saw  a  clay  bank  where  the  deer  came  to  lick   for 

lit.  Horses  were  tied  to  graze  and  we  deployed  right 

nd  left  to  look  for  a  pair  of  horns.     It  was  not  long 


to  wait,  a  shot  ringing  out  and  a  pretty  deer  lay  at  full 
length  ready  for  the  knife. 

Then  homeward  in  the  cool  of  a  tropical  evening, 
awed  by  the  mystery  of  great  forest  solitudes,  listen- 
ing attentively  to  the  myriad  voicesof  birdshastening 
to  rest,  with  here  and  there  the  cry  of  a  beast  of  prey 
intent  upon  finding  a  toothsoa  e  supper;  across  the 
river  ford,  up  the  hill,  dismount  from  the  horses  and 
rest.  Sleep  comes  quickly  and  sweetly  in  that  strange 
tropical  atmosphere. 

In  the  early  morning  of  Sunday,  Robinson  was  on 
deck  prepared  for  a  stroll  with  his  trusty  gun,  always 
in  ready  shape.  The  writer  carried  a  more  peaceful 
weapon  in  the  shape  of  an  Eastman  camera. 

The  days  passed  quickly  for  the  next  week,  cutting 
roads,  running  lines,  marking  boundaries,  taking 
frequent  shots  at  the  game  nearly  always  in  sight, 
having  little  time  to  long  for  the  States  and  home  and 
loved  ones. 

Sunday  came  again  with  its  rest  and  as  we  sat  in 
the  cool  of  the  morning  chatting  with  our  treacherous 
landlord,  there-came  to  our  ears  a  medley  of  noises 
from  an  Indian  village  a  few  hundred  yards  away. 
Men  were  shouting,  women  screaming,  children  crying, 
dogs  barking,  in  a  savage,  fearful  way,  and  cattle 
helping  out  with  the  sounds  of  distress.  In  the  midst 
of  the  uproar  a  muffled  shot  rang  outfrom  alittlecast- 
iron  shotgun,  the  only  kind  ever  owned  by  a  native 
of  the  tropics. 

We  rushed  to  quarters,  seized  our  guns  and  took  a 
bee  line  for  the  scene  of  action.  Haif  way  we  met  a 
native  running  to  tell  us  that  a  tiger  [jaguar],  had 
just  attacked  some  cattle  pens,  and  that  he  had  been 
slightly  wounded.  We  put  on  all  speed  and  soon  came 
to  a  bank  of  earth.  A  throng  of  men  and  boys,  women 
and  children,  stood  at  a  respectful  distance  from  a 
great  hole  which  led  under  the  trunk  of  a  fallen  tree, 
where  the  tiger  had  taken  refuge. 

A  shot  well  aimed  made  short  work  and  the  great 
animal  was  dragged  out  into  the  light.  His  feet  were 
tied  together  and  the  body  was  swung  on  a  pole 
carried  by  two  men.  At  the  cabin  a  snap-shot  was 
taken  and  his  pretty  skin  taken  off  to  be  brought 
back  to  the  States  as  a  trophy. 

At  the  end  of  the  fourth  week  our  work  was  done 
and  early  one  Thursday  morning,  in  a  large  covered 
canoe,  and  with  sufficient  supplies  for  the  trip,  we 
said  "adios"  to  the  Spaniards  and  started  on  our  long 
trip  down  the  Colorado.  The  stream  wound  in  and 
out,  with  the  finest  views  at  every  turn.  We  slept, 
and  watched  by  turns.  Robinson  had  learned  a  few 
Spanish  words  by  this  time  and  he  would  practice  on 
the  two  boatmen  by  the  hour.  They  seemed  to  learn 
more  of  his  language  than  he  did  of  theirs.  The  first 
day  out  they  learned  to  say  "All  right,"  and  pretty 
soon  all  their  conversation  with  Robinson  consisted  of 
theBe  two  words.  Deer  were  frequently  in  sight  and 
the  easy  motion  of  the  boat  allowed  fine  sport  for  our 
guns.  Deer  have  very  little  fear  of  the  natives  and 
will  walk  about  within  easy  distance,  but  seem  to  fear 
the  white  man  by  instinct. 

We  had  four  long  days  of  this  tedious  river  trip. 
As  a  matter  of  precaution  we  always  ate  our  meals 
and  camped  at  night  on  an  island.  Before  leaving 
the  Spaniards  we  had  overheard  the  two  brothers 
plotting  to  kill  us.  We  prevented  this  by  keeping  a 
steady  eye  on  them,  but  they  offered  a  sum  of  money 
and  our  belongings  to  our  boatmen  if  they  would  kill 
us  on  the  way  down  the  river  turns.  We  overheard 
the  same  plot  further  down  the  river  among  the 
natives,  but  we  gave  tbem  no  show  to  attack  us  and 
pushed  on.  It  is  indeed  pleasant  to  state  that  our 
boatmen  remained  true  to  us. 

During  the  forenoon  of  our  last  day  out  we  heard  a 
sound  in  the  forest  very  like  the  bellowing  of  a  large 
bull.  Our  boatmen  at  once  told  us  the  sounds  were 
made  by  mouos  (monkeys).  We  landed  opposite  the 
sounds  and  the  writer,  with  one  of  the  boatmen  who 
was  armed  with  a  machete,  struck  into  the  thick  forest 
of  palm  trees  lining  the  bank.  The  sound  came  at  inter- 
vals louder  and  fiercer,  with  a  peculiar  thrilling  effect 
that  made  thecold  shudders  run  up  and  down  a  man's 
spinal  column  and  caused  him  to  wish  he  was  back  in 
the  States  with  mother.  But  it  would  never  do  to 
show  the  white  feather  in  the  presence  of  the  muscular 
boatman  with  the  machete,  so  with  a  steady  grip  on 
my  good  Smith  &  Wesson,  calibre  38,  we  pushed  into 
the  jungle. 

At  the  edge  of  the  opening  in  the  undergrowth  we 
could  hear  the  bellowing  of  the  male  monkeys,  the 
whining  and  crying  of  the  kid  monkeys  as  their 
mothers  slapped  them  over  the  head  for  disobedience, 
and  then  would  crack  palm  nuts  for  them  to  eat. 

The  tops  of  the  palms  seemed  alive  with  monkeys, 
all  busy  feeding.  We  stepped  boldly  into  the  opening 
and  were  at  once  discovered  by  the  monkeys.  The 
baby  monkeys  leaped  on  the  backs  of  their  mothers, 
twisting  their  long  paws  into  the  long  hair  with  a 
tight  grip.  The  mother  monkeys  seemed  to  think 
they  had  business  elsewhere.  Some  climbed  down 
and  ran  away,  most  of  them  climbed  higher  up  and 
tried  to  hide;  only  a  few  sat  still  and  looked  down. 
The  daddy  monkeys  showed  fight;  stamped  with  their 
feet  and  yelled  with  rage;  twistiDgoff  great  branches 
and  hurling  them  at  us,  all  the  time  getiing  out  of 
our  way.  After  watching  them  for  a  time,  the  writer 
selected  a  large  female,  lower  down  than  the  rest,  and 
put  a  ball  in  her  ham.  The  effect  was  pitiful.  She 
would  lick  the  wound  and  hold  up  the  wounded  leg. 
Then  she  would  seat  herself  and  cry  like  a  human, 
the  great  tears  rolling  down  her  face  in  a  natural 
way  that  made  one  sorry.  The  bull  monkeys  kicked 
up  a  terrible  row  at  this  stage.  After  a  shot  or  two 
more  that  failed  to  land  on  any  of  the  monkeyB,  we 
retreated  in  good  order,  whether  out  of  pity  for  the 
wounded  female  or  respect  for  the  angry  males,  the 
writer  does  not  care  to  say. 

We  reached  the  boat,  on  down  the  river  and  toward 
night  landed  at  oar  destination,  secured  horses  and 
were  soon  beaded  for  the  railroad  station,  ten  miles 
away.  A  pleasant  evening  ride  brought  us  to  a  poor 
station  on  the  Tehuantepec  railroad,  where  bed  and 
supper  never  seemed  better  at  the  fineBt  hotel  in  the 
States. 


For  a  whole  month  we  had  been  buried  in  the 
tropical  wilderness;  we  had  not  been  able  to  get  a  lins 
from  home;  we  had  not  seen  a  newspaper  or  periodical 
of  any  kind;  not  a  word  had  we  heard  of  what 
our  navy  had  been  doing  for  the  decrepit  fleets  of 
Spain.  That  night  from  our  Mexican  landlord  we 
had  the  first  word  to  tell  us  of  all  the  wonderful 
happenings  of  that  eventful  month  of  May,  1898.  At 
this  point  I  will  say  good  bye  to  our  readers  with  the 
promise  to  Bay  something  in  the  future  of  our  stay  in 
the  Isthmus  of  Tehuantepec.

THE   FARM 


Hogs  tor  the  Packer. 


"The  ultimate  aim  of  swine  husbandry 
is  meat  production,  consequently  pure 
bred  swine,  to  be  of  direct  financial  bene- 
fit to  the  farmer  and  stockman,  should 
also  be  Btrong  in  desirable  market  type 
and  quality.  In  too  many  instances  we 
find  breed  quality  and  market  qu  lity 
widely  different.  Heavy  shoulders,  pendu- 
lous flabby  bams  and  blubber-covered 
backs  and  sides  may  be  pleasing  to  the 
eye  of  the  breeder  and  add  to  the  grace- 
ful finished  outline  of  the  live  animal,  but 
they  do  not  conduce  to  profit  in  the 
Bmokehouse  or  pork  cellar  of  the  packer. 
The  day  of  the  500-lb.  lard  hog  is  prac- 
tically past.  While  it  ia  true  market 
conditions  vary  from  year  to  year  and 
even  from  week  to  week,  at  times  placing, 
a  premium  on  heavy  hogs,  we  find  the 
tendency  is  towards  smooth,  even  hogs  of 
medium  weight,  say  from  225-300  lbs. 
Such  should  be  entirely  free  from  surplus 
development  of  fat  in  any  part  and  should 
possess  smooth  shoulders  laid  well  in  with 
the  line  of  the  body,  hams  moderately 
heavy  with  firm  flesh  and  without  any 
surplus  fat.  Flanks  should  be  well  let 
down  to  permit  a  large  development  of 
belly  meat.  The  back  should  be  of  good 
length,  wide  and  smooth,  with  an  even 
covering  of  fat  and  an  absence  of  large 
patches  of  fat  above  the  bams.  Since  the 
most  valuable  cuts  are  taken  from  the 
back,  loin  and  sides,  good  length  and,  in 
the  case  of  the  side,  depth  is  desirable. 

While  it  ia  difficult  to  describe  the  ideal 
barrow  the  following  points  cover  the 
chief  de-irable  features.  In  a  general 
wav  a  barrow  should  have  a  smooth 
finished  appearance  and  should  possess  a 
symmetrical  outline  with  well  balanced 
development  in  all  parts.  He  should 
Btand  squarely  on  60und,  strong  feet  with 
well  shaped  limbs  showing  plenty  of  bone 
to  carry  him  to  the  desrable  weight  with- 
out breaking  down.  The  head  and  neck 
should  De  of  medium  weight,  shoulder 
and  hams  smooth  and  laid  evenly  with 
the  side,  the  former  free  from  a  Bhield 
and  the  hams  firm  and  compact.  There 
should  be  no  deposits  of  surplus  fat  be- 
hind the  shoulder,  over  the  loinB,  around 
the  tail-head  or  along-  bottom  lines." 

Fortunately  we  find  the  ideal  type  of 
packer's  bog  ia  also  the  most  profit- 
able type  for  the  farmer  to  produce. 
The  characteriaties  deacribed  stand  for 
economy  in  production,  early  maturity 
and  highest  market  value,  so  that  in  the 
production  of  medium  weight  butcher 
hogB  of  high  grade  the  interest  of  both 
the  packer  and  the  producer    are  con- 

aerved.

Scarcity  of  Drafters. 

The  Team  Owners'  Journal  is  of  the 
opinion  that  the  present  scarcity  of  eood 
draft  horses  is  likely  to  continue  for  some 
time.    It  says: 

'The  growing  scarcity  of  heavy  draft 
horses  is  again  causing  much  concern 
among  dealers.  Proprietors  of  the  small 
stables  where  stock  is  bought  from  week 
to  week  as  the  trade  demands,  are  finding 
it  very  difficult  to  obtain  first-class  draft- 
ers, and  even  the  largest  dealers,  who 
contract  for  the  pick  of  horses  on  the 
breeding  and  feeding  farms  far  in  advance 
of  their  readiness  for  marketing,  are 
constantly  forced  to  pay  higher  prices 
for  their  future  supplies. 

"Two  or  three  things  are  at  present 
operating  in  the  direction  of  higher  prices 
for  heavy  draft  horses.  One  is  the  fact 
that  contractors  who  work  thousands  and 
thousands  of  horses  are  using  much  heavier 
teams  than  they  used  a  few  years  ago. 
Thev  have  found  that  it  pays  to  handle 
big  loads,  and  their  trucks  are  now  built 
two  carry  two  and  a  half  yards  of  earth 
where  they  used  to  carry  one  yard  and   a 


quarter.  To  do  this  work  thev  require 
bigger  horses  than  before.  Formerly  con- 
tractors bought  horses  under  fourteen 
hundred  pounds  for  their  work,  but  they 
won't  look  at  anything  under  fifteen 
hundred  pounds  now,  and  most  of  them 
want  animals  weighing  around  sixteen 
hundred  pounds  and  seventeen  hundred 
pounds.  It  takes  a  tremendous  number 
of  big  horses  to  supply  this  new  demand, 
and  the  worst  of  it  is  the  breeders  are  not 
raising  enough  of  them. 

"High  prices  of  beef  seem  to  have 
tempted  a  great  many  Western  farmers  to 
drop  horses  and  go  into  cattle  raising  in 
the  last  few  years.  There  is  no  getting 
around  the  fact  that  steers  pay  best  as  a 
rule.  They  are  ready  for  market  in  two 
years,  where  it  takes  four  to  raise  a  horse. 
Then  again,  the  difficulty  of  raisingheavy 
drafters  is  not  to  be  denied.  Out  of  twenty 
colts  not  more  than  ten  will  develop  into 
horses  weighing  over  fourteen  hundred 
pounds,  no  matter  how  big  their  sires  and 
•lams  may  be.  Then  cut  out  the  blemished 
ones  and  the  ones  that  get  sick  and  die, 
and  the  breeder  has  really  only  a  small 
percentage  of  such  drafters  as  the  market 
now  demands  '' 


Dead  Hogs. 


The  proper  disposal  of  dead  hogs  meanB 
a  great  deal  to  the  farmer  and  also  to  the 
community  in  which  he  lives.  He  should 
consider  it  his  duty  to  keep  his  surround- 
ings as  free  from  infectious  diseases  as 
possible.  This  applies  not  only  in  the 
matter  of  properly  disposing  of  dead 
animals,  but  to  everything  under  his 
care. 

His  stables  should  be  thoroughly  venti- 
lated and  should  receive  an  application  of 
whitewash  once  or  twice  a  year,  to  which 
has  been  added  a  little  carbolic  acid. 

If  an  animal  becomes  sick  he  should 
give  it  proper  attention,  and  if  the  disease 
is  a  new  one  to  him,  or  one  which  he 
knows  is  contagious, he  should  quarantine 
the  animal  until  well. 

If  une  of  his  hogs  dies  he  should  dis- 
pose of  the  body  in  such  a  way  that  no 
trouble  will  come  from  it.  Too  often 
this  is  overlooked.  While  many  men 
would  not  harm  their  neighbors  ir  they 
knew  it, they  will  often  drag  the  body  of  a 
dead  hog  into  some  gully  or  out-of-the 
way  place  and  leave  it  to  decay.  The 
place  looks  to  them  remote  and  thev  do 
not  think  of  the   harm   that  may  come, 

In  case  the  hog  dies  of  some  contagious 
disease  the  germs  of  this  disease  are  at 
first,  of  course,  very  numerous  in  the 
body.  They  are  easily  transferred  from 
the  body  to  anything  that  comeB  in  con- 
tact with  it.  In  this  way  dogB  and  wild 
animals,  such  as  vermin  and  Bnakes, 
come  in  contact  with  the  body  and  then 
carry  the  germs  to  neighboring  farms. 
One  can  readily  see  how  dangerous  this  is 
to  the  community. 

The  practice  of  burying  diseased  ani 
mals  is  generally  resorted  to  and  is  a  very 
good  method,  although  there  is  still  some 
danger,  especially  is  not  put  down  deep 
enough. 

But  it  is  best  to  always  burn  the  body, 
thus  eliminating  nearly  all  possible 
chances  of  further  danger. 

If  carried  out  thoroughly  and  properly 
very  little,  if  lany,  bad  results  ca  1  come 
from  it. 

There  really  Bhould  be  certain  require, 
ments  of  Btate  laws  applying  to  t tie  treat- 
ment of  dead  bodies  of  diseased  animals 
— J.  B.  Ashby,  in  KimbalVs  Dairy  Far- 
mer.

SometimeB  cream  churned  at  too  low  a 
temperature  will  foam  and  the  butter  will 
not  come.  A  small  amount  of  warm 
water  added  to  the  cream  may  relieve  the 
difficulty.

Profit  in  Alfalfa. 


A  Note  of  Warning. 


In  conversation  with  the  editor  of  the 
Republican  a  few  dave  ago,  E.  D.  N.  Lehe 
of  Diron  stated  that  the  farmers  in  the 
vic-initv  of  Dixon  who  bad  tried  the  ex- 
periment of  growing  alfalfa  fonnd  the 
product  a  profitable  crop,  and  that  tbe  ( 

such    experi-    have  risen.     Any  sort  of  a    i  ree  that  has 


Eastern  demand  for  horses  is  at  its 
height  for  tbe  season.  Indeed  it  is  difficult 
to  see  how  it  could  be  much  largerthan  it 
is  and  has  been  for  a  fortnight  past. 
Receipts  in  the  Chicago  and  other 
markets  have  been  liberal  and  yet  prices 


number  of  ranchers  trying 
ment  was  constantly  on  the  increase. 
Tbe  crop  is  irrigated  by  water  pumped 
from  shallow  wells  by  means  of  electric 
power,  which  has  proven  to  be  an  effective 
and  economical  process. 
As  proof  of  his  statement  that  alfalfa  is 


some  size,  is  sound  enough  i-  -  ork  com 
fortably  and  has  a  few  years  o  ctive 
service  before  him  is  taken  without  ..  ■:- 
tation,  whereas  three  months  ago  be 
would  have  gone  for  less  than  half  the 
money  he  will  now  command.      As  an 


profitable  crop,  Mr.  Lehe  cited  two  in  example,  on  one  of  the  last  few  Fridays 
stances  the  first  case  being  that  of  Peter  an  old  white  gelding,  sightless  in  one  eye 
Timm  'a  progressive  farmer  residing  somewhat  off  in  the  wind  and  not  by  any 
about  one  mile   from    Dixon.     Mr. Timm    means  sound,  ahorse  not.  less  than  twelve 

or  thirteen  years  old,  brought  $148  and 


has  twenty  acres  seeded  to  alfalfa,  under 
irrigation  as  stated  above.  Last  year  Mr. 
Timm  harvested  five  crops  from  this  tract, 
the  entire  yield  being  179  tons,  a  greater 
portion  of  "which  was  sold  at  $7  50  per 
ton,  making  a  total  grosB  income  of  $1342. 
The  cost  of  irrigating  the  same  was  $240 
and  the  expense  of  harvesting  was  $275, 
making  a  total  expense  of  $515,  leaving  a 
net  profit  of  $S27,  or  over  $40  per  acre. 

The  second  instance  is  that  of  Leland 
Hyde,  who  also  has  twenty  acres  of  alfalfa. 
Mr.  Hyde  devotes  bis  crop  to  pasturage 
for  dairy  cows.  He  runB  thirty  milch 
cows  and  disposes  of  his  cream  to  the 
Dixon  Creamery,  the  net  profit  from  this 
course  for  the  month  of  March  being  $180. 

These  are  but  two  instances  of  quite  a 
number  of  a  similar  nature  that  could  be 
mentioned  which  demonstrate  beyond 
question  that  the  raising  of  alfalfa  is  a 
profitable  investment,  and  the  success 
attained  by  those  who  have  tried  the  ex- 
periment should  serve  to  encourage 
others  to  try  the  experiment. 

There  is  much  land  in  this  section  of 
the  country,  now  yielding  small  profits 
from  other  crops,  that  could  be  made  to 
yield  large  returns  to  the  owners  by  de- 
voting the  same  to  the  growth  of  alfalfa. 

The  Republican  has  frequently  called 
attention  to  this  fact,  and  while  a  few 
farmers  in  this  section  have  become  in- 
terested in  the  matter,  still  it  is  difficult 
to  account  for  the  apparent  indifference 
un  the  part  of  a  great  many  in  taking 
hold  of  the  proposition.  The  Republican 
now  offerB  the  suggestion  that  farmers  in 


some  ten  bids  were  made  on  him,  four 
men  wanting  him.  There  is  however  a 
note  of  warning  running  through  all  this 
furore  to  buy  horseB  The  Eastern  dealers 
say  they  have  reached  their  limit.  If 
horses  go  higher  in  the  West  they  will 
have  to  curtail  operations  for  their  cus- 
tomers will  pay  very  little  more  than  is 
now  asked.  It  should  be  remembered 
that  while  the  Eastern  dealers  have  a 
habit  of  making  this  statement  there  is  a 
limit  to  everything  and  Easterners  have 
not  so  far  been  compelled  to  pay  such  long 
prices  aB  they  have  this  spring  It  is  a 
notorious  fact  that  many  New  England 
farmers  bave  bought  or  tried  to  buy  oxen 
to  uBe  in  place  of  the  horses  they  could 
not  obtain  for  the  money  they  wished  to 
expend — perhaps  $100  each — and  the  re- 
sult iB  that  BteerB  old  enough  and  large 
enough  to  go  into  the  yoke  as  well  as 
broken  teams  are  higher  now  than  they 
ever  were.  It  is  said  that  it  is  practically 
impossible  to  buy  any  sort  of  an  old  ox  in 
any  of  the  Eastern  stock  yard  markets 
unless  lame  or  otherwise  incapacitated 
from  work  while  ordinarily  they  supply  a 
good  deal  of  beef.  I  earn  power  must 
therefore  be  verv  scarce  and  no  wonder 
horses  are  high  in  New  England—  Breed- 
ers Gazette. 


Value  of  Pure  Sires. 


It   was  a   wondrous,  an    overpowering 
demonstration  of  the   practical  utility  of 
good  blood   in  farm   stock  that  was   pre- 
this  section  of  the  county  who  have  under   sented  at  the  Chicago  international  show, 


consideration  the  experiment  of  growing 
alfalfa,  visit  the  northern  part  of  the 
county  and  see  for  themselves  tbe  opera- 
tions as  carried  on  with  success  in  that 
section. — Suhun  Republican. 


Do  Not  Want  Horned  Cattle. 


Even  on  the  present  booming  market 
with  its  scarcity  of  good  cattle  discrimin- 
ation is  shown  against  steers  wearing 
horns.  A  feeder  with  a  load  of  these  on 
the  market  a  few  days  ago  declared  that  a 
discount  of  25  cents  per  cwt.  insisted  on 
by  the  bujer  was  "daylight  robbery." 
"Why  don't  you  take  off  the  horns?" 
asked  the  buyer  "They  were  too  old 
when  I  bought  them,"  was  the  response. 
"Well  I'm  going  to  undertake  to  teach 
you  fellows  not  to  buy  horned  feeders 
that  are  too  old  to  dehorn.  It  will  be 
money  in  your  pockets,"  said  the  buyer. 
"I  wouldn't  dare  ship  those  cattle  and 
when  they  are  on  the  hooks  as  it  is  their 
meat  will  be  punched  full  of  holes  A 
horned  steer  is  worth  15  to  20  cents  a 
hundred  'ess  than  one  dehorned  accord- 
ing to  the  distance  they  bave  been  shipped 
and  we  intend   to  take   it  off."—  ( 


says  Breeder's  Gazette.  The  steers  sired 
by  pure  bred  bulls  from  grade  or  cross- 
bred cows,  tbe  magnificent  big  geldings 
got  by  pure  bied  Btsllions  of  the  d.-aft 
types,  the  penB  of  fat  wethers  and  the 
barrows,  tbe  progeny  of  registered  rams 
'  and  boars,  the  extraordinaiy  cattle  in 
the  carload  classes  that  had  their  origin 
on  the  ranges  of  the  west  and  Bouth,  all 
Bwelled  to  overwhelming  volume  the 
testimony  that  it  pays  to  use  the  pure- 
bred Bire.  This  blood  is  within  the  reach 
of  every  farmer. 


Variations  in  Milk. 


The  natural  variation  in  the  test  of  a 
cow's  milk  aDd  of  herd  milk  is  something 
that  is  difficult  for  any  one  to  understand. 
Careful  observations  made  by  testing  the 
milk  daily  from  single  cows  and  from 
herds  have  shown  that  there  may  be  a 
difference  from  day  to  day  of  as  much  as 
1  per  cent  fat  in  tbe  milk  even  when  the 
milk  has  not  been  tampered  with  by 
skimming  it  or  by  adding  water  thereto.— 
Proffessor  Farrinqton. 

o 

Tbe  experiment  stations  have  found 
that  a  perfect  balanced  ration  may  be 
grown.  Stockmen  who  have  tame  pas- 
tures may  grow  gratB,  clover  and  alfalfa 
in  such  a  way  that  their  stock  will  have 
a  perfect  ration  for  forming  boneB,  muscles 
and  flesh.  Much  expanse  can  be  saved 
by  those  who  understand  this. 


Notwithstanding  bo  many  persons  do 
not  eat  pork,  the  hog  and  the  commodities 
made  from  swine's  fiesb,  is  the  leading 
animal  industry  in  the  United  States.  He 
has  been  the  mortgage-lifter  in  many 
instances. 

o 

When  the  proper  kind  of  food  is  not 
furnished,  the  animal  is  compelled  to  eat 
more  than  he  needs,  in  order  to  get 
enough  to  sustain  itself. 

o 


A  calf  has  a  poor  chance  to  grow  if  it  is 

fed  on  hay  and  corn  during   tbe  summer 

season.     It  may  get  fat,  but  it  won't  grow 

as  it  will  if  fed  on  clover,  grass  and  alfalfa. 

o 


A  horse  that  does  bard  work  on  hard  or 
rough  ground  should  be  kept  well   shod. 
The  condition  of  the   horse's  feet  often 
determine  how  much  work  he  can  d 
how  well  he  will  do  it. 

o- 

Horses  should  be  well   fed   when   they 
vork  hard.    The  food  needs  to  be  accord- 
ing to  the  size  and    general  condition   of 
he  animal.    They    differ    as   widely    as 
men. 


It  is  a  terrific  Btate  of  affaire  to  let  a 
horse  stand  in  the  mud  or  with  his  hind 
feet  higher  than  his  fore  feet.  His  stall 
should  be  comfortable. 


The  more  industrious  a  man  is  about 
his  buxinesB,  the  lees  time  he  has  to  com 
plain,  and  tbe  less  apt  he  is  to  do  it. 


There  is  an  effort  to  standardize  milk 
and  compel  every  dairyman  to  sell  milk 
containing  a  certain  amountof  butter  fat.

The  Popular  Toulouse  Geese. 


By  far  the  most  popular  of  the  varieties 
of  geese  is  the  Toulouse.  It  has  heen 
longer  known  than  some  other  useful 
kinds  like  the  African,  and  is  a  very  rapid 
grower  and  reaches  a  large  size. 

The  standard  weights  are  twenty  pounds 
for  full-grown  ganders  and  eighteen 
pounds  for  females,  but  even  this  weight 
is  often  exceeded.  The  color  is  gray — m 
some  strains  a  light  gray,  others  darker, 
the  under  parts  and  fluff  white,  bill  and 
legs  redish  orange. 

As  layers  the  Toulouse  rank  medium, 
being  rather  less  prolific  than  the  African, 
but  more  so  than  the  Emden.  The  season's 
output  is  from  twenty  to  forty  eggs  per 
bind,  geese  two  or  three  yearB  old  laying 
more  than  very  young  geese. 

Their  disposition  is  quiet  and  they  are 
less  troublesome  to  care  for  than  some 
other  breeds  and  will  get  along  very  well 
in  a  field  without  much  water.  A  cross  of 
the  Emden  and  Toulouse  has  been  pro- 
nounced the  best  all-round  cross  for  gen- 
eral market  purposes  for  both  early  and 
late  markets  and  for  the  production  of 
large  geese  for  the  holiday  markets.  The 
cross  breds  are  large,  rapid-growing  and 
make  a  good-looking  carcass. 

Geese  are  generally  considered  more 
profitable  than  ducks,  although  only  a 
small  number  can  be  kept,  because  they 
desire  wider  range,  but  when  provided 
with  sufficient  pasture  they  require  little 
attention,  and  will  secure  a  good  part  of 
their  living  if  they  have  access  to  marshy 
lands  or  small  streamB.  Sometimea  they 
begin  to  lay  as  early  as  January,  but 
usually  not  to  any  extent  until  March. 
At  nesting  time  they  should  be  provided 
with  barrels  containing  straw  or  hay,  so 
that  they  will  nest  where  they  can  be 
kept  in  sight  The  first  litter  may  be 
taken  away  and  hatched  under  hens  or 
by  incubator,  after  which  the  goose  will 
lay  another  litter.  Breeders  usually  keep 
the  geese  laying  as  long  as  possible, 
hatching  most  of  the  eggs  with  hens.  The 
eggs  hatch  in  thirty  days,  and  a  goose 
of  average  size  will  cover  about  fifteen. 
For  the  first  few  days  they  are  liable  to 
be  chilled,  but  after  the  first  week  they 
are  more  hardy  and  require  little  care. 

The  usual  plan  is  to  confine  them  in 
small  pens  or  yards  which  can  be  moved 
to  fresh  grass  every  day,  because  they 
require  considerable  pasture  Besides  the 
grasB  or  clover,  they  are  fed  on  a  mixture 
of  Indian  meal  and  shorts  mixed  with 
water  but  squeezed  almost  entirely  dry 
before  feeding.  When  three  or  four  weeks 
old,  they  should  be  eiven  wide  range,  but 
within  an  enclosure  When  fattening, 
they  are  confined  and  fed  a  mixture  of 
ground  grains  with  beef  scraps  gradually 
increasing  the  proportion  of  corn  meal 
and  beef  scraps  until  the  food  is  about  ten 
per  cent  beef  scraps  and  ninety  per  cent 
meal.  Toulouse  geese  reach  a  weight  of 
ten  pounds  at  ten  weekB  of  age,  and  as  a 
rule  are  sold  more  profitably  at  that 
weight  as  green  geese.  The  market  for 
these  begins  in  June  and  lasts  until 
March.  G.  B   F.

It  ia  undesirable  to  feed  the  mother  and 
the  young,  oi  any  kind,  with  other  stock. 
The  mother  is  weaker  because  of  the  extra 
service  she  is  doing,  and  cannot  hold  her 
own  with  the  others,  and  the  colt,  the 
calf,  the  pig,  the  lamb  is  liable  to  be 
injured  by  the  kick  or  the  bite  of  some 
yicious  animal.

except  the  English  sparrow,  which  come

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU    ABE,    BEAD    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  Interested  In  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  olose  out  our  Stallions  in  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks— a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  w&  Imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  in  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  clean  iu  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  blaok  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  is  much  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  flrst-olass  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  endurance.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  bla'-k  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as ''fine  as  peaches,'1  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  olean  limbed.  We 
never hada  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  thi  brightest  prospect  for  good  orops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  I-".  Slngmaster,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
is  proud  to  say  we  havehad  extremely  good  success  in  making  sales-  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales,  aad  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expeot  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  line  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stock  of  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  disoount-    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

GREEN'S  RUFUS The  Bay  wood  Stud,  San  Mateo 

PROF.  CARLYLE  and  the  Colorado  Experiment 
StatioD,  who  nave  been  assisted  by  the  United 
States  Government  to  the  extent  of  825,000  in  an 
effort  to  establish  a  breed  of  American  carriage 
horses,  are  being  criticised  for  their  selection  of 
foundation  stock  by  several  turf  editors  and  others 
who  believe  they  could  select  a  better  stallion  than 
he  has  picked  out  to  head  the  stud.  Why  not  give 
the  Professor  an  opportunity  to  at  least  raise  one 
crop  of  colts  before  beginning  to  hammer  him.  He 
is  a  very  close  student  of  breeding,  a  keen  observer 
and  a  good  judge  of  what  constitutes  a  good  carriage 
horse.  He  does  not  expect  to  establish  the  type  he 
wants  in  one  or  two  generations,  but  the  experiment 
he  has  begun  is  entitled  to  all  the  assistance  the 
United  States  Government  and  his  State  have  given 
it,  and  the  horse  criticsshould  notbegin  their  knock- 
ing until  he  has  had  an  opportunity  to  make  a  start. 
The  Rider  and  Driver  would  doubtless  be  very  pleased 
to  have  a  hackney  selected  to  head  the  experi- 
mental stud,  but  Prof.  Carlyle  has  selected  an  Ameri- 
can trotting  stallion  by  a  son  of  Robert  McGregor, 
out  of  a  Nutwood  mare,  and  it's  dollars  to  doughnuts 
that  this  horse  will  come  nearer  to  siring  the  type 
the  Professor  is  aiming  to  produce  than  would  any 
stallion  selected  by  those  who  are  making  these  ob- 
jections to  the  selection.  If  Prof.  Carlyle  can  pursue 
his  experiments  for  ten  years  without  interference 
from  the  outsiders  who  imagine  they  know  more 
about  horse  breeding  than  he  does,  we  believe  he 
will  have  laid  the  foundation  for  a  breed  of  American 
carriage  horses  that  will  be  far  ahead  of  anything 
yet  produced  in  any  of  the  foreign  carriage  breeds. 
The  American  trotter  has  more  of  the  qualities  of 
the  perfect  carriage  horse  than  either  the  hackney 
or  the  French  or  German  coachers.  The  only  thing 
lacking  in  him  is  that  he  has  not  been  regularly  bred 
to  a  carriage  type.     If  a  branch  of   the   American 


T^HE  STALLION  STAKE  for  foals  of  1902  will  be 
1  one  of  the  important  stakes  to  be  decided  at  the 
California  State  Fair  this  year.  This  stake  was 
inaugurated  in  the  early  part  of  1902  and  was  made 
for  the  foals  of  stallions  that  were  to  be  named  by 
May  1st  of  that  year.  The  owner  of  each  stallion 
paid  in  the  amount  the  horse  was  standing  for  that 
season,  and  the  prices  ranged  from  $100  down  to  $15. 
There  were  3S  stallions  nominated  in  the  stake  May 
1,  1902  and  the  total  amount  paid  on  them  was  $1140. 
The  conditions  of  the  stake  require  the  State  Board  of 
Agriculture  to  add  $1000  to  the  stake.  On  June  1,  1903 
entries  were  received  of  93  colt6  and  fillies  sired  by  the 
stallions  named,  each  paying  an  entrance  fee  of  $5.  On 
March  1,  1904,  second  payment  of  $10  each  was  made 
on  62  of  these  foals.  There  has  now  been  paid  into 
this  stake  $2225,  which  with  the  $1000  added  by  the 
society  makes  the  stake  worth  $3225  to  date.  On  the 
first  day  of  next  month  a  payment  of  $15  is  due  on  all 
foals  eligible  to  the  stake  and  on  August  1st  next  a 
final  payment  of  $20  will  be  due.  It  is  within  reason 
to  suppose  that  the  stake  will  be  worth  at  least  $4000, 
of  which  60  per  cent  or  S2400,  will  go  to  the  trotting 
divis.on  and  40  percent  or  $1600  to  the  pacing  division. 
This  will  make  the  pacing  race  the  richest  event  for 
three-year-olds  that  has  been  contested  on  this  Coast 
for  a  long  time.  With  these  two  events  on  the  pro- 
gram, and  the  Occident  and  Stanford  stakes,  and  the 
pacing  division  for  colts  and  fillies  entered  in  those 
events, there  will  be  fiveharnessstakeson  the  program 
of  the  State  Fair  this  year. 


supplied  the  market  with  horses,  the  ranges  where 
thousands  were  bred  annually,  are  rapidly  passing,  as 
land  is  becoming  more  valuable  each  year.  It  is  the 
small  breeders  who  must  supply  the  future  demand 
for  horses,  and  the  prediction  is  made  by  men  who 
know  most  of  the  horse  market  that  prices  will  be 
higher  for  several  years  to  come  and  may  never  be 
lower  than  they  are  now.  The  foals  of  1906  will  be 
sold  at  top  prices,  and  if  the  market  fails  again  it  will 
not  be  until  after  next  year's  foals  are  matured  and 
sold.  This  is  the  opinion  of  the  best  posted  horse 
dealers  of  the  country.      Breed  your  mares  this  year. 


THE  SPRING  HORSE  AUCTION  to  be  held  by 
J.  L  McCarthy  &  Son-,  live  stock  auctioneers  at 
Irvington  Park,  Portiani,  Oregon,  May  2d,  3d,  4th 
and  5th,  is  advertised  in  our  issue  today.  The  princi- 
pal feature  of  the  sale  is  the  consignment  of  75  head 
from  the  famous  Brook  Nook  Stock  Ranche  of  C.  X. 
Larrabee,  Montana.  Brook  Nook  has  some  of  the 
choicest  bred  horses  in  the  country  and  Mr.  Larrabee 
has  long  been  breeding  with  an  idea  of  producing  horses 
that  not  only  have  speed,  but  high  action  and  beauti- 
ful conformation.  His  stallions  are  Alcone  6780,  by 
Alcyone,  Alfonso  9700,  by  Baron  Wilkes,  Burion  bv 
Alcone,  Jubillee  de  Jarnette  5105,  one  of  the  best 
Morgan  stallions  liviDg,  Keeler  2:13}  by  King  Rene, 
Vice  Regent  by  Mambrino  King,  and  others.  The 
mares  on  the  Brook  Nook  Ranche  are  as  choice  a  lot 
as  can  be  found  on  any  stock  farm  this  side  the 
Mississippi  river  and  the  consignment  of  horses  to  this 
sale  should  be  worth  going  a  long  way  to  bid  on. 
There  are  sixteen  matched  pairs,  many  of  which  are 
sixteen  hands  high,  and  all  are  good  colors,  four  and 
five  years  old  and  thoroughly  broken  single  and 
double.  None  of  these  horses  have  been  worked  for 
speed  except  the  pacer  Knick  Knack  that  has  a  record 
of  2:24}  by  Alcone  that  took  his  record  last  year  and 
is  a  sure  2:10  prospect.  Read  the  advertisement  in 
our  business  columns. 


RACING  TROTTERS  TO  SADDLE  is  being  re- 
vived by  the  members  or  that  very  excellent 
organization  the  Cleveland  Driving  Club,  and  their 
enterprise  is  worthy  of  emulation  by  other  organiza- 
tions. We  should  very  much  like  to  see  purses  offered 
for  trotting  races  to  saddle  by  some  of  the  organiza- 
tions that  give  professional  racing.  The  Breeders 
Association  in  this  State,  the  State  Fair  and  the  Los 
Angeles  Association  could  afford  to  have  at  least  one 
race  of  this  description  on  their  programs  even  though 
the  lists  of  starters  were  small.  Horseback  riding  is 
becoming  more  popular  than  ever  as  a  means  of  recre- 
ation and  it  is  the  most  healthful  exercise  known. 
Three-fourths  of  the  saddle  horses  in  use  were  sired 
by  trotting  bred  stallions  and  very  many  trotting 
horses  make  excellent  saddle  animals.  By  offering 
purses  for  trotting  races  to  saddle,  the  use  of  the  well 
bred  trotter  as  a  saddle  horse  will  be  encouraged. 


THE  SPEED  COMMITTEE  of  the  State  Agricul- 
l  tural  Society  is  at  work  on  a  six  days'  program 
of  harness  racing  to  be  held  at  the  State  Fair  this 
year,  which  will  be  announced  immediately  after  the 
meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  next  week.  The 
fair  will  open  on  Saturday,  September  2d  and  continue 
through  the  following  week,  closing  on  Saturday. 
There  will  be  no  racing  on  Monday,  so  it  will  be 
possible  to  start  the  same  horse  three  times  during 
the  meeting,  with  at  least  two  days  between  the  races, 
and  the  program  has  been  arranged  to  that  end. 
There  will  be  five  stakes  for  three-year-olds — the 
Occident,  Stanford  and  Stallion  stake  for  trotters,  and 
the  Occident-Stanford  pace  and  the  pacing  division  of 
the  Stallion  stake. 


A  DISPERSAL  SALE  of  the  Lima  Stock  Farm,  in 
Ohio,  owned  by  Mr.  J.  C.  Linneman,  was  held 
last  week.  Prices  were  good  throughout.  No  sensa- 
tion sales  were  made  but  the  average  was  over  $300 
for  sixty  head.  The  top  price  was  brought  by  a  three- 
year-old  filly  by  McKinney,  dam  Coral  by  Electioneer. 
$1600  was  paid  for  her.  A  yearling  by  McKinney  out 
of  a  Norval  mare  sold  for  $760.  The  old  stallion  Nor- 
val  2:142  by  Electioneer,  23  years  of  age,  was  knocked 
down  at  $700.      


THE  SAN  FRANCISCO  DRIVING  CLUB,  an 
organization  formed  for  the  purpose  of  occasion" 
ally  holding  an  afternoon  of  racing  for  small  purseB, 
has  decided  to  hold  a  meeting  May  30th.  The  track 
has  not  yet  been  selected,  but  will  be  at  the  next 
meeting.  The  following  officers  of  the  club  were 
recently  elected:  President,  Joseph  McTigue;  vice 
president,  E.  Buck;  treasurer,  F.  Lauterwasser,  Sr. ; 
secretary,  F.  Lauterwasser,  Jr.;  executive  committee 
— D.  Lieginger,  L.  Jutting,  C.  Becker,  R.  Miller,  W. 
O'Kane,  A.  Benson,  W.  E.  Gillespie;  sergeant  at  arms, 
J.  Zammitt. 


SPOKANE  INTERSTATE  FAIR  has  been  given 
$300  by  the  American  Hereford  Cattle  Breeders 
Association  aod  the  same  amount  by  the  American 
Shorthorn  Breeders  Association,  which  sums  will  be 
added  to  the  usual  premiums  given  to  these  breeds. 
This  will  make  the  most  liberal  prizes  ever  given  to 
these  breeds  in  the  State  of  Washington,  and  Mr. 
John  L.  Smith,  Superintendent  of  Live  Stock  at 
Spokane,  hopes  to  induce  all  the  herds  showing  at  the 
Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition  to  include  Spokane  in 
their  show  routes. 


OUR  ESTEEMED  CONTEMPORARY,  the  Ameri- 
can Sportsrnan  of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  is  greatly  in 
error  when  it  says  that  this  journal  has  announced 
that  it  will  soon  print  facts  to  prove  that  the  gran- 
dam  of  Lou  Dillon  was  by  Capt.  Webster.  We  have 
never  made  any  such  claim.  Our  reference  was  to

Driving  Club  of  Toledo.  The  half-mile  track  of  the 
Toledo  Exposition  Company  has  been  leased  for  the 
meeting.  The  dates  will  be  in  JuDe,  but  the  time  has

side mares. 


Jackson's   Napa  Soda  untangles  the  fee'.

best  trotter  in  night  for  the  2:10  classes  tbis  year.  I 
look  for  her  to  trot  in  2:06  or  hotter,  and  phe  can  get

At  the  great  fairs  to  be  held  this  summer  and  fall 
at  Allentown,  Bethlehem  and  Nazareth,  Pa.,  it  has 
been  decided  to  put  trotting  races  to  saddle  on  the 
program.  It  is  stated  that  the  secretarial  inquiry  has 
developed  the  fact  that  several  trainers  are  willing  to 
enter  their  horses  in  such  events.  • 


Dr.  W.,  the  black  stallion  by  Robert  Basler  that 
took  a  record  of  2:12J  last  year  at  the  State  Fair,  is 
showing  more  speed  than  ever  this  year,  having 
recently  paced  an  eighth  in  14  seconds.  He  is  owned 
and  was  bred  by  Dr.  N.  W.  Williams,  of  Lindsay, 
this  State,  who  owned  his  dam  and  grandam  and  used 
them  for  ten  years  in  his  practice  and  found  them 
both  great  roadsters,  with  no  road  too  long  for  them. 
Dr.  W.'s  dam  is  by  Sacramento,  son  of  Monroe  Chief, 
second  dam  by  Alexander  Patchen  Jr.,  third  dam  by 
Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr.,  and  fourth  dam  by  the  running 
horse  Don  Pedro,  a  grandson  of  Lexington.  Dr. 
Williams  owns  a  filly  by  Harry  Gear,  dam  an  own 
si6ter  to  Miss  Logan  2:06}  that  is  entered  in  the 
Breeders  Futurity,  and  is  a  fine  prospect. 


Al  Thomas  has  in  training  at  the  Wheaton,  111 , 
track  a  green  trotting  mare  that  he  thinks  is  one  of 
■'best  ever."  She  is  Palo  Alto  bred  being  by  Altivo 
2:181  dam  Elaine  2:20,  dam  of  Iran  Alto  2:12}  and 
other  good  good  ones.  The  mare  is  a  sister  in  blood 
to  Iran  Alto,  as  their  sires  are  own  brothers. 


Geo.  Hollenbeck,  of  Rio  Vista,  has  his  fine  Nusha- 
gak  filly,  Dorothy  Bonner,  at  Woodland  being  pre- 
pared by  C.  A.  Spencer  for  Breeders  Futurity  No.  3, 
which  is  for  foals  of  1903.  Dorothy  is  a  two-year- 
old  of  good  size,  excellent  disposition  and,  considering 
the  time  she  has  been  handled,  is  very  promising. 


Albany,  Oregon,  horsemen  have  formed  a  driving' 
association  with  W.  H.  Hogan  president,  Kola  Neis 
vice-president,  A.  J.  Hodges  secretary,  Wiiliam  Eagles 
treasurer,  and  B.  D.  Wells,  O.  P.  Dannals  and  Frank 
L.  Skepton  trustees.  Membership  is  limited  to  bona 
fide  residents  of  Linn  county.  A  regulation  track 
will  be  built  and  matinees  held. 


J.  B.  Stetson,  the  Denver  trainer,  don't  approve  of 
California  as  a  training  ground.  He  says  that  his 
experience  is  "that  a  continuous  warm  winter  tends 
to  make  the  horses  slow  and  lethargic."  Gee  whiz! 
It  makes  one  dizzy  to  think  how  fast  Lou  Dillon  and 
Sweet  Marie  and  a  few  more  California  trotters  would 
have  been  had  they  wintered  on  Colorado  snowballs 
and  been  rubbed  down  with  icicles. 


Nutwood  has  sired  the  dams  of  six  2:10  performers. 
No  other  stallion  has  sired  as  many.  Robert  Mc- 
Gregor's daughters  have  produced  five  2:10  perfor- 
mers. Mambrino  Patchen  and  Stratbmore  are  in 
third  place  each  with  four  produced  by  daughters, 
and  George  Wilkes  and  Daniel  Lambert  have  three 
each.  No  other  stallions  are  represented  with  more 
than  two  2:10  performers  produced  by  daughters. 


The  denth  is  announced  of  the  stallion  Egyptian 
Prince,  owned  by  Mr.  L.  B.  Thomas,  cashier  of  the 
Redwood  City  Commercial  Bank.  Egyptian  Prince 
was  an  elegantly  bred  stallion  being  by  El  Mahdi,  out 
of  a  mare  by  Mambrino  King.  El  Mahdi's  dam  was 
Lady  Bunker,  the  dam  of  Guy  Wilkes.  Mr.  Thomas 
used  Egyptian  Prince  as  a  road  horse  and  valued  him 
very  highly,  having  recently  refused  $1500  for  him. 


May  day  has  been  chosen  as  the  date  for  the  next 
matinee  to  be  held  by  the  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club. 
The  board  of  directors  has  decided  to  hold  the  usual 
monthly  meets  during  the  summer.  This  is  a  con- 
cession to  local  owners  of  green  trotters  of  the  slower 
class.  For  the  first  meet  there  will  be  six  races,  the 
three  minute  mixed,  2:40  trot,  2:40  pace,  2:30  trot  and 
2:30  pace.  Other  events,  including  a  women's  race, 
will  be  held.  

The  program  for  the  races  to  be  given  at  the  Oak- 
land track  on  Wednesday,  May  17th,  at  the  annual 
celebration  of  the  Butchers'  Board  of  1  rade,  appears 
in  our  advertising  columns  this  week.  There  are 
several  harness  races  in  which  outsiders  can  compete. 
A  2:20  pace  one  mile  dash,  free-for-all  trot  one  mile 
dash,  free-for-all  trot  or  pace  two  mile  dasb,  and  a 
mule  race  are  open  to  all  who  desire  to  enter.  A  num- 
ber of  running  races  are  also  on  the  card. 

The  American  Sportsman  says:  "Mazette  2:04}  is 
the  first  of  Mr.  Billings'  mares  bred  last  year  to  John 
A.  McKerron  2:041  to  foal.  Last  week  she  foaled  a 
fine  colt  down  at  Pat  Shank's  place,  at  Litchfield. 
This  is  Mazette's  first  foal  and  is  a  credit  to  herself 
and  its  sire.  Mazette  is  by  Tennessee  Wilkes,  dam 
Marcola  (dam  of  Mata  2:21)  by  McEwen2:18},  graodam 
by  Enfield.  This  youngster  has  quite  a  speed  in- 
heritance and  should  do  something  worth  while  when 
matured." 

A  match  has  been  made  for  a  race  to  come  off  over 
the  Petaluma  track  at  an  early  date  between  D.  Mc- 
Govern's  trotter  Dan  Fraser  by  Secretary  and  an  un- 
known pacer  owned  by  Mr.  Kendall  of  that  city.  The 
unknown  is  a  chestnut  with  white  stripe  in  face,  three 
feet,  a  scar  near  the  root  of  tail,  another  scar  on  the 
flank,  and  front  legs  a  little  dickey.  The  owner  refuses 
to  tell  the  name  or  pedigree  of  this  horse,  but  Mc- 
Govern  doesn't  care  if  the  paeer  has  a  record  of  two 
minutes  as  he  thinks  Dan  Fraser  can  beat  him. 


Mr.  T.  A.  Roche,  Superintendent  of  the   Lakeville 
Farm,    in   Sonoma  county,    where    Seymour   Wilkes 
3  making  the  season,  reports  that  quite  a  num- 
'ine  foals  by  this  horse  have  already  made 
1'pearance  on  the  farm,  and  that  as  sucklings 
they  cannot  be  beaten  for  size,  conformation  and  good 
looks,  by  any  stock  farm  on  the  Coast.    The  two-year- 
old  stallion  MoPavil  38713  Is  at  the  Lakeville  Farm.  He 
I'.iedallon  2:10,  dam  Ariel  by    Bourbon   Russell 
'.n',10,  and  there  is  not  a  finer  colt  of  his  age  anywhere. 
Ho  is  a  bay,  no   white,  stands  15  3  and   from   looks, 
conformation  and  action  should  make  an   ideal  stock 
horse  as  well  as  a   fast    race   horse.     He  gives  every 
promise  of  being  a  fast  trotter. 


Mr.  Black,  of  the  McDonough  farm  at  Menlo  Park, 
has  sold  his  mare  Gloriosa  by  Wildnut,  dam  Morning 
Glory  by  Electioneer,  to  Mr.  Owen  Starkey,  a  promi- 
nent contractor  of  San  Jose.  Gloriosa  is  due  to  foal 
to  Lecco  2:09J  and  has  already  been  booked  to  Coro 
nado  2:12J.  Mr.  Starkey  has  bred  his  mare  Blarnette 
by  Bernal,  dam  Blarney  by  Blarney  Stone,  thorough- 
bred, to  Almaden  2:22^.  C.  H.  Durfee  seems  to  be 
doing  a  good  business  with  all  his  stallions.  Mr.  J. 
P.  McEnerney,  of  San  Francisco,  has  sent  his  mare, 
Lady  Kerr  by  Memo,  to  be  bred  to  Almaden.  Mr.  M. 
L.  Lusk,  of  Sacramento,  has  sent  Laurel  Wreath  by 
Gov.  H.  Lowe  11,007,  dam  Woodbine  by  Woodburn, 
to  be  bred  to  Coronado;  and  Mr.  T.  J.  Crowley,  of 
San  Francisco,  has  sent  his  fast  mare,  Lottie  Parks 
2:16|  by  Cupid  2:18,  to  be  bred  to  Coronado.  She  has 
a  fine  filly  at  foot  by  Monterey  2:09|.  All  these  mares 
were  booked  this  week. 


Mr.  E.  P.  Hamilton,  of  Arroyo  Grande,  sends  us 
snap  shot  pictures  of  three  colts  he  Is  working  that  he 
says  are  as  fine  youngsters  as  there  are  in  California. 
He  does  not  intend  to  campaign  them  this  year,  but 
may  racs  them  at  the  local  meeting  there  in  the  fall. 
The  two-year-old  is  a  stud  colt  by  Purissima  15944, 
son  of  Sidney,  and  is  out  of  Flora  by  Acrobat  2:18}, 
second  dam  Negress  by  Whipple's  Hambletonian  725, 
third  dam  by  Owen  Dale.  This  colt  has  been  worked 
about  six  weeks  and  has  stepped  a  quarter  in  35 
seconds.  The  yearling  filly  Arona  is  by  San  Luisito 
2:141  and  out  of  the  same  mare  as  the  colt.  Both 
are  owned  by  Mr.  Hamilton.  The  other  filly  Moorita 
is  by  Purissima,  dam  Moro  by  Pasha  or  Sultan,  next 
dam  Adele  by  Messenger  Duroc  1:06.  She  was  foaled 
in  1902  and  is  a  finethree-year.old.  This  filly  is  owned 
by  W.  H.  Ryan  of  Arroyo  Grande,  has  trotted  a 
quarter  in  37  seconds  and  a  full  mile  in  2:38. 


Pat  Farrell  offers  for  sale  at  a  bargain  a  lot  75  x  100 
feet,  fronting  on  20th  avenue,  near  the  corner  of  Point 
Lobos  avenue,  in  this  city.  Mr.  Farrell  is  probably 
the  oldest  trotting  horse  trainer  now  on  tne  Coast, 
but  declining  years  and  ill  health  will  not  permit  him 
to  follow  the  business  any  longer,  and  he  desires  to 
sell  this  lot  on  which  are  situated  ten  fine  box  stalls, 
two  good  open  stalls  and  everything  necessary  to 
accommodate  a  string  of  a  dozen  horses.  The  lot 
adjoins  Mr.  Farrell's  home  which  is  on  the  corner  of 
the  two  avenues  ment'oned  and  is  a  very  desirable 
place.  The  stalls  are  supplied  with  water  from  his 
famous  well,  said  to  contain  the  best  water  ever  found 
on  this  peninsula.  The  price  asked  for  the  lot  and 
stalls  is  very  reasonable  considering  the  prices  asked 
for  lots  in  that  locality  for  building  purposes.  The 
streets  are  all  curbed  and  graded  around  Mr.  Farrell's 
place,  and  it  has  many  advantages  otherwise.  A 
trainer  with  a  little  money  could  soon  establish  him- 
self at  this  place  in  a  permanent  and  paying  business. 


A  sale  of  horses  from  the  Bitter  Root  Farm  was

$240.  Several  two-year-old  thoroughbreds  were  sold 
and  brought  from  $50  to  $75. 


Plans  were  recently  announced  for  the  Empire  City 
track  which  indicates  an  active  season  at  the  oval  in 
Yonkers.  Aside  from  the  regular  matinees  of  the 
New  Y'ork  Driving  Club  in  the  Grand  Circuit  meeting

ings. The  New  Y'ork  Driving  Club  has  now  over  250 
members  including  all  the  prominent  trotting  horse 
owners  in  the  city.  Stakes  for  the  Grand  Circuit 
meets  will  be  announced  in  a  few  days-and  they  will  be 
in  value  commensurate  with  the  track's  reputation  in 
the  big  line.  The  opening  matinee  will  be  held  on 
Saturday,  June  17th.  Alfred  Reeves,  who  served  two 
years  as  secretary,  has  been  made  secretary  of  the 
Morris  Park  track  but  he  will  not  sever  his  connec- 
tion with  the  Empire  track,  continuing  in  an  advisory 
capacity.  The  details  will  be  in  charge  of  Frank  J. 
Mackain  who  will  be  general  secretary.  President

Sam  Gamble  on  Lou  Milton's  Breeding. 

San  Francisco,  April  16,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — My  atten- 
tion has  just  been  called  to  an  article  in  your  issue  of 
April  Sth,  wherein  it  states  that  "The  only  way  in 
which  the  pedigree  of  Lou  Milton's  dam  can  be  traced 
is  by  the  process  of  elimination."  It  further  states: 
"There  were  many  mares  owned  by  the  late  W.  C. 
Ralston,  and  from  all  reports  quite  a  number  of  them 
were  chestnuts." 

Allow  me  to  answer  as  to  what  I  find  through  my 
investigation  of  Mr.  Ralston's  stock,  through  two 
weli-known  aod  reliable  men  who  had  oharge  of  all 
Buch  business  for  him  and  his  stables — both  business, 
work  and  driving  horses  o  all  colors  and  descriptions, 
mares  and  geldings.  One  of  these  men  is  well  known 
here  in  this  city  and  was  in  Mr.  Ralston's  employ  for 
ten  years.  The  other  was  in  his  employ  eighteen 
years.  They  and  others  informed  me  that  Mr.  Rals- 
ton owned  in  all  about  forty  head  of  horses.  I  have 
discovered  in  my  search  that  the  chtstnut  mares 
were  not  as  numerous  as  now  imagined  by  many,  and 
especially  those  with  marks  such  as  stars,  strip  in 
face  and  white  ankles.  Mr.  Thompson  stated  to  you 
and  others  that  Mr.  Mandenhall  told  him  he  got  the 
mare  from  Kimball,  who,  in  turn,  got  her  from  Mr. 
Ralston,  the  banker.  This  was  all  he  knew  of  the 
mare  except  she  was  a  chestnut  with  strip  in  face  and 
one  hind  ankle  white,  but  which  ankle  he  did  not 
know.  I  will  say,  it  is  unfortunate  that  Mr.  Thomp- 
son does  not  remember  that  one  important  point,  as  I 
have  a  memorandum  of  such  a  described  mare  with 
pedigree  given  me  by  the  late  G.  D.  Kimball  as  once 
owned  by  the  late  William  C.  Ralston,  and  also  have 
which  ankle  was  white  upon  my  book  among  eight 
head  of  mires,  ponies  and  geldings  of  various  colors 
and  marks,  as  listed  for  sale.  Among  that  list  are 
the  following: 

A  gray  gelding,  saddle  horse,  goes  all  gaits. 

A  brown  gelding,  16  hands  high,  a  carriage  horse,  two  hind  feet 
white. 

Two  small  ponies,  sale  lor  children  to  drive,  one  a  chestnut,  the 
other  a  gray. 

A  brown  gelding.  15  3  hands  high,  black  points:  can  trot  in  2:50. 
Safe  for  a  lady  to  drive 

A  chestnut  mare.  15.2  high,  strip  in  face.  A  fine  pole  mare;  good 
roadster;  driven  over  a  year  by  the  late  W.  C.  Ralston.  B7  Uen. 
McClellan,  dams  t  b  by  Williamson's  Belmont.  This  mare  died 
with  the  colic. 

A  good  work  horse,  by  a  Norman  horse. 

A  brown  mare.  16  hands  high,  by  James  Monroe  (a  son  of  Nau- 
buc,  brother  to  Thomas  Jefferson  2:23!;);  dam  s  t  b  by  Rifleman. 

A  chestnut  mare  by  Whipple's  HamDletonian;  dam  Ida  Martin 
by  Rifleman.  Good  driver,  is  15  2^  high  Sold  to  Covey  for  Palo 
Alto. 

Chestnut  mare.  lo.2,  by  George  M.  Patchen  Jr.  2:27.  dam  by  John 
Nelson.  Strip  in  face;  hind  ankle  white.  Can  trot  in  three  min- 
utes.   Pulls  hard. 

A  chestnut  thoroughbred  filly,  two  year-old,  by  Hubbard;  dam 
Lady  Fairfield.  No  marks,  good  size,  and  should  make  a  race 
mare. 

All  the  above  can  be  accounted  for  as  to  their 
disappearance,  with  the  exceptions  of  the  Patchen 
Jr.  and  Nelson  mare  and  the  chestnut  filly  by  Hub- 
bard, dam  Lady  Fairfield,  I  do  not  and  never  did 
know  what  became  of  them, but  as  I  know  the  admira- 
tion Mr.  Kimball  had  for  the  stallion  Milton  Medium 
and  the  history,  color,  marks,  given  you  and  others' 
of  the  dam  of  Lou  Milton,  by  Mr.  Thompson,  and  that 
he  got  her  from  Mendenhall  and  he  from  Mr.  Kimball 
and  it  is  a  well  known  fact  that  he  got  her  from  the 
late  William  C.  Ralston.  I  think  all  such  evidence 
points  to  that  chestnut  mare  15.2  high,  strip  in  face, 
one  hind  ankle  white,  as  Mr.  Kimball  so  gave  it  to 
me,  and  I  so  entered  it  in  my  book,  as  by  George  M. 
Patchen  Jr.,  dam  by  John  Nelson. 

Mr.  Thompson  and  the  late  George  Bayles,  a  welj 
known  trainer  and  driver,  who  once  worked  for 
Mendenhall  and  drove  Milton  Medium  and  the  chest- 
nut mare  in  question,  stated  to  Mart  Rollins,  now  a 
trainer  and  driver  at  Santa  Rosa,  that  this  mare  was 
a  hard  puller  on  the  bit.  If  these  facts  and  Mr. 
Thompson's  story  of  the  mare  are  correct,  I  will  go 
down  to  my  last  resc  with  the  belief  that  this  chestnut 
mare  by  George  M.  Patchen  Jr.,  dam  by  Jobn  Nelson, 
is  the  grandam  of  the  first  two-minute  trotter,  as  no 
other  evidence  so  far  received,  can  or  has  been  traced 
to  that  clift. 

Again  you  state  that  Mr.  Taylor,  of  San  Jose,  desig- 
nates one  Ralston  mare  as  "Fly,"  and  your  humble 
servant  designates  another.  Allow  me  to  porrect  the 
latter  statement  as  I  have  discarded  that  name  of 
!<Fly."  I  will  not  let  such  lead  me  astray,  as  in  all  Of 
my  my  faint  horse  knowledge  of  transactions  in  and 
about  this  city, do  I  ever  remember  hearing  that  name 
used  but  twice,  once  at  the  late  S.  B.  Whipples  Farm, 
home  of  Whipples  Hambletonian,  Speculation,  Ajax 
and  others,  and  such  was  the  name  of  a  large,  eoarse 
bay  farm  mare,  now  well  known  as  the  dam  of  Count- 
ess, dam  of  Dawn  2:185  and  Strathway  2:19£  and  the 
other,  a  brown  mare,  that  I  have  written  in  one  of  my 
Noonday  stud  books  as  brown  mare  by  Nutwood  2:18$, 
dam  a  noted  road  mare,  owned  by  the  late  W.  C. 
Ralston;  in  the  other  book  I  find  written,  brown  mare 
by  Nutwood  2:181,  dam  the  Ralston  mare  "Fly  "  The 
above  mare  was  owned  and  bred  to  Noonday  No. 
10,000  by  the  late  I.  L.Requa, President  of  the  Oakland 
Savings  Bank,  who  only  a  few  days  since  passed  away. 


And  now  the  only  trace  of  any  mare  by  that  name  is 
through  Mr.  Thompson.  Mr.  Taylor  and  Mr.  Murkle. 
As  I  understand  the  late  owner  of  the  borse  Black 
Flying  Cloud,  sire  of  the  Maxwell  chestnut  mare  Fly» 
claimed  to  have  sold  her  through  the  influence  of  the 
late  O.  A.  Hickok  to  the  late  W.  C.  Ralston.  The 
only  trace  of  such  a  transaction  is  the  stat€ment  of 
Mr.  Taylor  that  Mr.  Maxwell  told  him  (Taylor)  that 
he  had  sold  such  a  team  of  chestnut  mares, one Flyand 
the  other  Gypsy.  Such  is  now  the  only  evidence  that 
can  be  found. 

John  Grace,  one  of  our  leading  horseshoers,  and  for 
a  long  time  in  the  service  of  Mr.  Ralston  as  bis  pii- 
vate  horseshoer  and  in  full  charge  of  his  stables; 
Jam.3s  Allerson,  eighteen  years,  and  up  to  the  time 
of  Mr.  Ralston's  death,  in  his  employ;  other  lesser 
lights  in  and  about  Mr.  Ralston's  stable;  John 
Murphy,  proprietor  St.  George  stable,  born  in  this 
city;  Dan  Shay,  also  born  in  this  city;  James  Scully, 
an  old-time  groom;  Frank  Malone,  an  old-time  stable 
keeper,  with  whom  Mr.  Ralston  used  to  board  bis 
horses;  Martin  O'Dea,  a  well  known  blacksmith,  and 
a  close  bosom  friend  of  Mr.  Hickok;  R.  F.  Morrow,  a 
noted  road  rider,  banker,  and  mining  man;  Robert 
Graves,  and  a  host  of  other?,  have  no  remembrance 
of  such  a  team  of  mares  arriving  heie  and  being  sold 
to  the  late  W.  C.  Ralston.  It  does  seem  strange  that 
such  an  event  could  happen,  and  all  the  above  named 
gentlemen,  all  interested  in  such,  should  not  remem- 
ber some  one  link  of  such  a  transaction  I  have 
worked  some  few  days  through  the  week  for  two 
months,  and  such  a  trace,  outside  of  Mr.  Taylor,  can 
not  be  found.  The  further  search  on  the  so-called 
Ralston-Kimball-Patchen  Jr.  dam  John  Nelson  mare 
shows  she  is  well  identified.  The  great  search  now  is 
to  establish  this  team  of  Maxwell  mares,  Fly  and 
Gipsy,  and  to  all  of  your  readers  who  are  interested 
in  the  game,  as  to  the  true  facts  and  identity  of  the 
grandam  of  the  trotting  queen,  Lou  Dillon,  I  now  cry 
for  help  as  to  the  tracing  of  these  Maxwell  mares 
now  known  as  Fly  and  Gipsy,  as  I  am  now  about 
exhausted.  I  have  written  Messrs.  Taylor,  of  San 
Jose,  and  Murkle,  of  Waupio,  Wis.,  for  a  few  facts 
that  might  lead  to  some  evidence  that  such  a  team  of 
mares  were  ever  in  Mr.  Ralston's  possession,  then  to 
trace  to  Mr.  Kimball  would  be  the  next  important 
step.  Up  to  this  date,  I  have  failed  to  receive  any 
communication  from  either  gentleman. 

That  name  "Fly" — it  does  seem  strange  that  no 
traces  can  be  found,  only  through  Messrs.  Thompson, 
Taylor  and  Murkle  and  on  one  of  my  Noonday  stud 
service  books.  The  Horse  Review  in  its  issue  of  the 
4th  inst.  states  that  I  seem  to  have  either  a  remark- 
ably careless  way  of  putting  things,  or  else  a  more 
remarkable  one  of  summoning  them  from  memory  on 
different  occasions.  They  quote  your  representative 
in  one  of  your  September,  1903,  issues,  as  locating  Mr. 
Green  Thompson  and  acquiring  from  that  gentleman 
the  valuable  information  concerning  the  grandam  of 
Lou  Dillon,  including  the  facts  that  she  passed  from 
Ralston  to  Kimball,  from  Kimball  to  Mendenhall, 
from  Mendenhall  to  Thompson,  and  at  that  time  this 
was  brought  to  my  attention  and  the  result  as 
chronicled  by  your  journal  was  as  follows:  That  I 
remembered  a  chestnut  mare,  owned  by  Mr.  Kimball, 
of  the  same  description  and  an  offer  was  once  made  to 
sell  her  to  the  late  Dan  Cook.  That  I  might  be  able 
to  find  some  record  of  her  among  my  old  papers.  It 
states  I  searched  and  found  an  old  memorandum  book 
in  which  I  had  written  "Kimball  mare,  chestnut,  by 
Red  Iron."  Correct,  Mr.  Sharpsteen;  °uilty.  It  was 
Gamble's  statement,  and  I  have  such  "book  and 
record"  now  in  my  possession  and  such  described 
mare  can  be  found,  also  the  same  mare  by  McClellan 
144.  Both  names  were  used  for  the  same  horse.  It 
further  states:  In  another  old  book  I  found  the  fol- 
lowing memorandum,  "Kimball  mare,  Lady  Butter- 
field  by  John  Nelson,  dam  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen."  The 
statement  that  1  had  found  another  book,  at  that 
date,  and  presented  such  breeding  as  from  that  book 
I  now  emphatically  deny.  But  I  did  give  you  the 
above  name  and  breeding,  obtained  after  a  careful 
search  at  that  time.  Among  old-time  horsemen, 
whose  memory  led  them  to  such  knowledge,  I  met 
that  well-advised  man,  F.  S.  Malone,  of  this  city, 
whose  knowledge  of  those  early  days  as  to  noted  men, 
horses,  and  pedigrees  cannot  be  equaled.  I  asked  of 
him  if  be  could  call  to  mind  any  one  of  the  horses 
owned  by  G.  P.  Kimball  prior  to  his  death;  more  so 
a  chestnut  mare.  "Yes;  I  remember  them  well,  ana 
a  fine  chestnut  mare  that  I  tried  to  buy  from  Kimball; 
he  asked  $1000  and  I  refused  to  take  her."  "Could 
you  now  describe  her?"  "I  could."  Mr.  Malone 
went  on  and  said  she  was  like  the  Nelsons,  noted  for 
their  pulling  habit,  and  she  pulled  so  hard  thatlMr. 
Ralston  gave  her  to  Mr.  Kimball.  She  was  a  grand- 
looking  chestnut,  strip  in  face,  and  a  hind  ankle 
white,  and  he  believed  her  riame  was  Lady  ButterGeld, 
by  John  Nelson,  dam  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr. 

The  confidence  that  I  had  for  years  in  Mr.  Malone's 


knowledge  and  remarkable  memory  of  the  early 
history  of  men,  horses  and  their  true  breeding,  I  at 
once  recalled  such  a  mare  as  owned  by  Mr.  Kimball, 
and  that  I  had  noted  on  some  book  as  of  some  such 
breeding  as  given  by  Mr.  Malone.  1  later  reported 
such  to  you  and  remember  saying  to  you  at  that  date 
that  I  must  have  it  on  my  books,  and  I  did  believe 
such  to  be  the  fact  until  about  eight  months  or  so 
later  Ihad  occasion  to  search  for  some  old  papers,  I 
broke  open  a  box  that  I  had  packed  away  since  the 
breaking  up  of  the  Hobart  Farm  in  1892,  and  in  that 
search  I  found  an  old  memorandum  of  notes  connected 
with  the  Club  Stables  and  in  that  book  a  list  of  stock 
for  sale  by  various  owners,  among  them  G.  P.  Kim- 
ball's list  of  nine  head  of  various  kinds,  mares  and 
geldings  of  all  descriptions  and  color,  marks  and  etc., 
and  among  that  list  a  chestnut  mare  15.2  high,  strip 
in  face,  one  hind  ankle  white.  On  this  discovery  I  at 
once  called  upon  Mr.  Malone  and  informed  him  of  my 
discovery  that  I  had  the  pedigree  of  the  mare  just 
vice  versa  from  that  which  he  gave  me  some  time  ago. 
That  grand  old  gentleman  with  his  usual  pleasant 
smile  said:  "Well,  you  may  be  correct;  I  will  not  be 
too  positive;  you  having  it  on  your  book  ought  to  be 
better  evidence  than  my  memory,  but  I  have  always 
thought  that  she  was  bred  that  way."  I  remarked 
to  Mr.  Malone,  '  you  may  be  correct  but  this  is  the 
way  Mr.  Kimball  gave  me  her  breeding." 

I  have  no  further  evidence,  only  this  that  Mr. 
Kimball  gave  to  me  and  of  which  I  made  a  note  in 
my  book.  I  will  now  leave  the  case  to  the  public  to 
judge  "my  remarkable  careless  way  of  putting  things 
or  summoning  them  from  my  memory, "  as  the  Review 
states.  As  a  rule  I  don't  stand  on  my  head  just  to 
see  myself.  Evidence,  and  that  alone  can  make  me 
believe  that  I  am  now  standing  on  my  head.  But  I 
will  flop  fifty  times  a  day  when  it  is  proven  to  me  that 
I  am  in  error.  But  no  power  on  earth  can  change  me 
but  the  proven  evidence  of  facts  unless,  for  the  time 
bsing,  a  gatling  gun.  That  able  journal,  the  Revleic, 
further  asks  why  did  I  not  at  the  time  mentioned 
come  out  with  the  statements.  I  will  answer  that  with 
pleasure.  First,  before  I  found  the  above  second 
memorandum  book,  some  eight  months  later,  I  be- 
lieved that  the  John  Nelson,  dam  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen, 
given  me  by  Mr.  Malone  as  being  without  doubt 
correct  until  my  discovery  of  my  long  twenty-three 
years  stored-away-book.  Second,  my  time  was  occu- 
pied at  Pleasanton  and  other  points  away  from  home, 
and  as  soon  as  I  had  found  the  second  book  I  at  once 
reported  such  to  my  esteemed  friend  S.W.Parlin,  Esq., 
Chief  Editor  of  the  American  Horse  Breeder,  Boston 
Mass.,  months  before  the  Maxwell  Fij  ing  Cloud  mare 
Fly  was  discovered.  I  will  say  that  I  and  all  whom 
I  have  interviewed  on  this  muddle  want  facts  and  that 
alone  will  be  the  guide  on  the  road  to  the  true  identity 
of  the  true  grandam  of  the  first  two-minute  trotter, 
Lou  Dillon.  I  have  not  in  any  way  tried  to  hoodwink, 
nor  will  I  suffer  others  to  attempt  such  on  this  very 
important  question.  May  I  please  ask  that  able 
journal  why  did  Messrs.  Taylor  and  Murkle  wait 
until  this  late  date  before  they  presented  their  claim 
Was  it  no*  Fly  time?    Yours,      Samuel  Gamble. 

P.  S.— I  wish  to  state  that  the  books  above  referred 
to  have  been  exhibited  to  the  following  gentlemen: 
Messrs.  L.  Saxe,  Lick  House;  C.  Griffith,  owner 
Bonnie  Direct  2:05£;  T.  J.  Crowley,  John  Murphy, 
James  Gregory,  Dan  Shay,  J .  B.  Hinkle  and  others. 


The  Cayuse  Spread  the  Gospel. 

Among  the  Montana  jocosities  with  which  Rollin 
Lynde  Hartt  recently  regaled,  perhaps  horrifying,  a 
large  tenderfoot  constituency  of  readers  in  the  East  is 
the  following  tale,  told  in  the  Boston  Transcript,  of  a 
newly  arrived ''apostle  to  the  bronco-busters"  who 
sought  the  loan  of  a  horse: 

"What  for?"  inquired  the  man  with  the  sombrero, 
pistols  and  fringed  leather  "chaps." 

"To  spread  the  gospel,"  answered  the  parson. 

So  the  cowboy,  selecting  a  meek  looking  little  ani- 
mal with  a  hangdog,  shop-worn  air  about  him,  bade 
the  young  clergyman  make  such  u=e  of  him  as  his 
own  comfort  and  the  spread  of  the  gospel  might  re- 
quire. But  scarcely  had  the  missionary  got  well 
astride  when  the  pony  lowered  his  head,  arched  his 
neck,  twitched  his  tail  and  begain  a  series  of  mad 
antics — bouncing  from  the  ground  like  a  jack-rabbit, 
landing  with  feet  bunched  and  with  the  force  of  a  pile- 
driver,  and  incidentally  rockiDg  end-for-end  like  a 
Gloucester  fishing  schooner  "slung  up  by  the  nose" 
on  Georges.  The  ah*  was  suddenly  filled  with  Testa- 
ments, tracts  and  gospel  hymns,  and  a  cloud  of  alkali 
duet,  some  forty  feet  away,  showed  wherethepreacher 
lay  sprawling.  Then  followed  a  passage  of  clerical 
vituperation  which  struck  terror  to  the  heart  of  man 
and  beast. 

"Well,"   said    the   ranchman  by   way  of   apology, 
"you  wanted  the  cayuse  to  spread  the  gos-pi-l. 
you  the  best  un  for  the  purpose.    Ain't  b

THE  PEDIGREE  OF  FLY,  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon, 
has  not  yet  been  established,  although  the 
Chicago  Horse  Review  representing  the  Taylor  side  of 
the  case,  and  the  A  Breeder  advocating 

Sam  Gamble's  theory,  are  each  putting  in  some  pretty 
heavy  licks  to  show  that  it  has  the  best  evidence  to 
offer.  Mr.  Gamble  has  written  the  BREEDER  AND 
Sportsman  a  long  article  on  the  matter  this  week, 
which  is  printed  on  another  page,  and  in  justice  to 
him  I  desire  to  make  a  correction  of  a  statement 
attributed  to  him  in  this  department,  in  September, 
1903,  and  on  which  statement  the  Horse  Review  has 
called  Mr.  Gamble  to  task.  Soon  after  my  trip  to 
Santa  Rosa  that  year,  Mr.  Gamble  called  on  me  and  I 
related  to  him  the  particulars  I  had  gained  from 
Green  Thompson  about  the  mare  Fly.  Mr.  Gamble 
was  at  that  time,  as  he  is  now,  making  an  earnest 
effort  to  discover  some  evidence  that  would  lead  to 
the  mare's  identity  and  told  me  that  he  had  a  num- 
ber of  old  memorandum  books  packed  away  with 
other  old  horse  literature  that  he  had  collected  at  odd 
times  and  he  might  be  able  to  find  something  from 
them.  He  told  me  of  a  memorandum  he  had  found  in 
an  old  book  which  read  "Kimball  mare,  chestnut,  by 
Red  Iron,  known  as  Daniel's  McClellan."  I  printed 
this  statement  in  this  department  and  added:  "In  an- 
other book  Mr.  Gamble  found  the  following  memo- 
randum: 'Kimball's  mare  Lady  Butterfield  by  John 
Nelson,  dam  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr.'"  It  is  this  last 
statement  which  I  wish  to  correct.  Mr.  Gamble  did 
not  notice  it  until  it  was  printed  in  the  Horse  Review 
and  he  now  reminds  me  that  his  statement  was: 
"Frank  Malone  says  he  remembers  the  Kimball  mare 
as  Lidy  Butterfield  by  John  Nelson,  dary  by  Geo.  M. 
Patchen  Jr.,  and  I  may  have  some  memorandum  of 
her  in  another  of  my  old  books."  I  doubtless  mis- 
understood Mr.  Gamble,  and  believe  that  his  state- 
ment to  me  was  as  he  now  states  it.  Sam  Gamble  has 
no  other  motive  in  searching  for  tbe  facts  about  Lou 
Dillon's  pedigree  than  to  get  at  the  truth,  and  I  do 
not  believe  that  he  would  follow  any  lead  that  he 
believed  led  elsewhere.  During  the  past  two  years 
he  was  managing  the  stallion  Stam  B.  2:11.}  and  did 
not  find  time  to  make  any  further  search  in  this 
matter,  but  recently  he  opened  up  his  boxes  of  old 
books  and  "junk,"  as  he  calls  it,  and  there  found  the 
memorandum  that  he  all  along  was  confident  he  had. 
In  this  book  he  has  the  description  given  him  by  Mr. 
G.  Kimball  of  some  horses  for  sale.  Mr.  Gamble  was 
then  manager  of  the  Club  Stables  in  this  city.  In  his 
letter  in  this  issue  Mr.  Gamble  quotes  these  memo- 
randa. The  mare  there  described  as  by  George  M. 
Patchen  Jr.,  out  of  a  mare  by  John  Nelson,  he  firmly 
believes  to  be  tbe  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon.  He  cannot 
trace  her  any  farther  than  Kimball's  ownership,  but 
in  this  is  one  step  in  advance  of  the  Review  which  can 
only  trace  its  mare  to  Ralston.  Mr.  Gamble  is  putting 
in  his  spare  time  these  days  in  the  basement  of  the 
Mechanics  Library  where  he  is  delving  through  the 
old  volumes  of  Boruck's  Spirit  of  (he  Times  and  San 
Francisco  dallies  of  tbe  early  70's,  seeing  if  he  cannot 
find  some  evidence  of  this  mare's  history  afterpassing 
from  Kimball's  ownership.  I  hope  his  search  will  not 
be  entirely  in  vain.      

After  reading  everything  that  has  been  printed  on 
the  subject  ol  Fly's  breeding  in  both  the  Horse  Review 
and  the  I!-  Breeder,  and  also  Gamble's  communica- 
tion to  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  this  week,  I 
must  confess  that  the  pedigree  of  Lou  Dillon's  gran- 
dam is  as  much  a  mystery  to  me  as  ever.  Mr.  Taylor's 
story  about  the  chestnut  mare  with  6trip  in  face  and 
one  ankle  white,  by  Black  FlyingCloud,  being  shipped 
with  her  mate  to  California  and  sold  through  Orrin 
Hickok  to  W.  C.  Ralston,  is  related  in  a  manner  that 
bears  every  semblance  of  truth.  He  says  that  Mr. 
Maxwell,  who  owned  these  mares,  told  him  the  facts 
as  he  relates  them,  and  there  is  no  reason  for  me  to 
doubt  Mr.  Taylor's  story  as  given  to  the  ll>:ri._,r.  Mr. 
Gamble's  account  of  a  chestnut  mare  with  strip  and 
white  ankle,  by  Geo.  M.  Patcboo,  dam  by  John 
Nelson,  having  been  owned  by  Mr.  J.  S.  Kimball, 
backed  with  memorandums  made  by  him  In  an  old 
book,  also  beari  every  evidence  of  truth.  But  the  fact 
remains  that  no  association  that  registers  stock  would 
accept  and  record  the  breeding  of  an  animal  that 
could  not  be  council  r  than  Lou   Milton's 

dam  Is  connected  with  either  the  Ralston  mare  as 
given  by  Mr.  Taylor  or  tho  Kimball  mare  as  given  by 
Mr.  Gamble.  There  are  links  missing  from  both 
chain  .  that  are  absolutely  necessary  to  the  establish- 
ment of  a  pedigree.  Until  oneol  those  links  is  supplied 
Ion's  grandiiin  must  bo  put  down  In  the  books 
traced.

entered  in  the  M.  &  M.,  is  Btepping  like  one  that  is 
after  the  big  end  of  that  stake.  She  worked  a  half 
last  week  in  1:02*,  the  last  quarter  in  29|  seconds,  and 
she  did  it  nicely.  Lady  Zombro  is  now  seven  years 
old  and  is  "sound  ana  all  right  in  every  way"  as  the 
dealers  say.  She  has  a  short  toe— 3J-  inches— and 
wearB  9  ounce  Bhoes.  She  trots  without  any  toe 
weights  and  looks  like  a  sure  2:10  performer  by  the 
time  the  Detroit  meeting  takes  place,  in  fact,  she 
could  trot  a  mile  in  that  time  now.  California  won 
the  last  M.  &  M.  and  has  a  look  in  for  first,  money

E.  P.  Hamilton,  Arroyo  Grande — To  lay  out  a 
haif-mile  track,  first  lay  out  two  parallel  lines  600  feet 
long  and  452  feet  and  5  inches  apart.  Midway  between 
the  extreme  ends  ot  these  parallel  lines  drive  a  stake, 
then  loop  a  wire  around  stake  long  enough  to  reach 
to  either  side.  This  wire  will  he  226  feet,  2J  inches 
long.  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  600-foot 
lines,  the  inside  of  the  track  is  laid  out.  The  inside 
fence  will  rest  exactly  on  the  line  drawn, and  the  track 
will  measure  one-half  mile  three  feet  from  the  fence. 
The  turns  should  be  thrown  up  one  inch  to  the  foot. 
The  width  of  the  track  may  be  fixed  according  to  the 
desire  of  the  builder.  Sixty  feet  is  none  too  wide  for 
the  stretches.  

Geo.  Hollenbeck,  Rio  "Vista— Robert  Bonner  Jr. 
No.  14,806,  record  2:29},  was  a  bay  horse  foaled  1881, 
and  made  h.s  record  in  1890  in  Texas.  He  was  by 
Vandegrift  3012,  dam  untraced.  This  is  probably  not 
the  horse  you  desire  the  breeding  of.  A  horse  called 
Robert  Bonner,  by  Gen.  Knox,  dam  the  Drew  Mare 
by  Gen.  McClellan,  was  owned  in  California  and  you 
probably  refer  to  some  son  of  this  horse.  Gen.  Mc- 
Clellan 144  was  by  North  Star,  dam  untraced.  He 
sired  Dan  Voorhees  2:23}  and  others.

Of  tho  twenty.three  nominations  in  the  M.  &  M. 
six  are  California  bred ;  five  of  which  are  in  training  in 
this  State  at  the  present  time.  For  this  State  to

J.  S.  F. — You  are  wrong  in  your  supposition  that 
the  sire  of  Rowdy  Boy  2:13J  and  Flaxtail  is  a  horse

A   Fine   Individual   with   Speed   and    Breeding. 

A  young  stallion  that  is  attracting  much  attention 
from  the  horsemen  of  that  section  of  the  country  of 
which  Tulare  county  is  the  centre,  is  Robert  Direct 
owned  by  that  well  known  breeder,  R.  O.  Newman,  of 
Visalia.  Robert  Direct  is  a  black  stallion  and  is  now 
a  four-year-old,  having  been  foaled  in  1901.  He 
stands  16  hands  and  is  one  cf  the  best  individuals  liv- 
ing, and  very  speedy.  He  was  trained  some  last  year 
and  showed  a  2:08  gait,  having  repeatedly  stepped  an 
eighth  in  16  seconds.  With  such  individuality  and 
speed  as  he  possesses,  combined  with  his  splendid 
blood  lines,  his  success  as  a  sire  of  good  looking  and 
fast  race  horses  that  are  game  and  good  gaited  is 
assured.  He  was  sired  by  that  great  race  horse  and 
sire,  Direct  2:05£,  whose  name  has  only  to  be  mentioned 
to  recall  to  any  horsemen  some  of  the  greatest  vic- 
tories of  the  Giand  Circuit  and  a  long  list  of  champion 
race  winners  sired  by  him.  Direct's  roll  of  horor 
contains  the  names  of  such  fast  ones  as  Directly  2:03}, 
that  still  holds  the  world's  two-year-old  pacing  record 
of  2:07J;  Direct  Hal  2:04},  the  unbeaten  Grand  Circuit 
performer;  Bonnie  Direct  2:05},  that  made  his  record 
as  a  four-year-old  and  is  now  siring  speed  at  both 
gaits;  King  Direct  2:05£,  another  Grand  Circuit  win- 
ner; Directum  Kelly  2:08},  one  of  the  biggest  winners 
and  fastest  trotters  ever  campaigned;  Trilby  Direct 
2:08},  a  pacing  whirlwind;  and  many  more  that  could 
he  named,  as  Direct  has  21  in  the  2:15  list  and  54  with 
standard  records. 

The  dam  of  Robert  Direct  is  Daisy  Basler,  a  young 
mare  that  is  an  own  sister  to  Ethel  Basler,  the  dam 
of  Stonelita,  two-year-old  record  2:20,  and  My  Way, 
tbree-year-old  record  2:22,  and  a  close  second  in  2:13i. 
Daisy  Basler  is  a  daughter  of  Robert  Basler  2:20,  that 
sired  Jonesa  Basler  2:11},  Dr.  W.  2:12J,  DeBernardi 
Basler  2:16},  etc.  Rohert  Bisler  was  by  the  Elec- 
tioneer stallion  Antevolo  and  out  of  a  mare  that  is  in 
the  Great  Broodmare  Table.  The  second  dam  of 
Robert  Direct  is  Richmoor  by  Pasha,  sire  dam  of 
Toggles  2:08J,  and  third  dam  is  Miss  Rowland  by  A. 
W.  Richmond,  sire  of  the  dams  of  New  Richmond 
2:07},  Waldo  J.  2:08,  El  Diablo  2:11},  Richmond  Chief 
2:11},  etc. 

It  will  be  readily  seen  that  Robert  Direct's  blood 
lines  are  rich  in  speed,  gameness  and  all  the  race 
winning  qualities.  Great  sires  and  great  broodmares 
are  prominent  in  the  tabulation  of  his  pedigree,  and 
there  is  producing  blood  in  every  cross.  Direct  is 
dead  and  his  sons  in  this  State  are  not  numerous,  and 
will  be  less  so  when  the  Eastern  buyers  spend  another 
winter  in  California.  A  sixteen  hand  son  of  the  "little 
black  rascal"  that  is  as  fine  an  individual  and  as 
royally  bred  as  Mr.  Newman's  horse  should  be  well 
patronized  in  any  breeding  community  and  at  $50  the 
season  the  terms  are  certainly  very  reasonable  for 
such  a  stallion.  Robert  Direct  will  make  the  season 
of  1905  at  Mr.  Newman's  ranch  ten  miles  east  of 
Visalia,  and  pasturage  is  so  good  and  so  plentiful 
that  mares  from  a  distance  will  be  pastured  free  of 
charge  if  booked  to  this  horse.  Mr.  Newman's  address 
is  Visalia,  Cal.,  and  he  will  send  a  card  containing 
tabulated  pedigree  and  other  particulars  to  those  ap- 
plying to  him  by  letter.  A  half  tone  engraving  from 
a  recent  photograph  of  Robert  Direct,  appears  on 
our  front  page  this  week. 


Sale  of  Yearlings  by  Demonio  2:11  1-4. 

At  Dixon  on  May  1  will  be  held  the  third  annual 
sale  of  high  class  yearling  colts  and  fillies  from  the 
Suisun  Stock  Farm  of  Messrs.  Rush  &  Haile  and 
parties  in  the  market  for  something  real  good  in  the 
way  of  youngsters  should  not  overlook  this  lot.  There 
are  fourteen  of  these  colts  and  all  of  them  are  by 
Demonio  2:11},  which  is  in  itself  enough  to  make  them 
worthy  of  attention,  and  then  too  the  dams  of  them 
include  such  mares  as  Corrollow  (dam  of  Ben  F.  2:09}) 
by  Steinway;  Hannah  (dam  of  Olga  2:29}  and  Elba, 
trial  2:20)  by  Le  Grande;  Mamie  Comet  2:23}  (dam  of 
Comet  Wilkes  2:21  and  Macleay  (2)2:22})  by  Nutwood; 
Sis  by  Nutwood  Wilkes;  Oakwood  (dam  of  Telephone 
2:24)  by  Rob  Lee;  Venice  by  Gossiper;  Sable  Dew  by 
Sable  Wilkes;  Nellie  T  by  Dawn  and  Minerva  by  Guy 
Wilkes.  There  are  ten  fillies  and  four  colts  in  this 
bunch  all  nicely  colored,  and  well  made  individuals 
and  several  of  them  are  entered  in  the  Breeders 
Futurity  for  foals  of  1904. 

Demonio,  the  sire  of  these  youngsters,  is  one  of  the 
best  bred  stallions  living,  being  an  own  brother  to 
Diablo  2:09}  by  Chas.  Derby  2:20,  sire  of  such  noted 
performers  as  Don  Derby  2:04J,  Much  Better  2:07}, 
Princess  Derby  2:08A,  etc..  and  his  dam  is  the  famous 
mare  Bertha,  (also  dam  of  Don  Derby  2:04},  Owyho 
2:09},  Elf  2:12J,  Ed  Lafferty  2:16J,  Arner  2:17J  and 
Jay  Eff  Bee  (1)  2:26£)  by  Alcantara  2:23;  grandam 
Barcena  (dam  of  Bayard  Wilkes  2:11})  by  Bayard  53, 
third  dam  Blandina  (dam  of  six  producing  sons)  by 
Mambrino  Chief  11.     Demonio  gave  a  "good  account 


of  himself  and  with  a  better  chance  would  probably 
have  earned  a  record  better  than  2:08.  In  the  race 
at  Sacramento  in  which  he  earned  his  record  he  was 
at  the  half  with  Edwin  S.  2:08  in  1:03  but  the  latter 
went  to  a  break  and  he  jogged  home  in  2:11}.  He  is 
but  ten  years  old  and  has  sired  very  few  colts  old 
enough  to  train,  yet  one  of  them,  Mona  Wilkes,  took 
a  two-year  old  mark  of  2:17  last  season,  and  there  are 
a  half  dozen  others  that  have  shown  their  ability  to 
beat  2:20.  The  Suisun  Stock  Farm  has  produced 
such  notable  performers  as  Ben  F.  2:09},  Mamie  R. 
(3)  2:15J,  etc.,  and  it  is  reasonable  to  expect  that  some 
high-class  ones  will  be  developed  from  these  young- 
sters to  be  sold.  Particulars  may  be  had  from  Rush 
&  Haile,  Suisun,  Cal. 


The  Horse  in  Ireland. 


California  Horses  Preferred. 


Peter  Jensen,  an  extensive  stock  grower  of  Austin, 
Nevada,  recently  visited  Sacramento  in  quest  of  new 
purchases  for  his  extensive  ranges  in  the  sage  brush 
country.  He  purchased  a  carload  of  horses  from  the 
Rancho  del  Paso,  paying  several  thousand  dollars  for 
the  lot.  Mr.  Jensen  favors  California-bred  horses  for 
their  endurance  and  speed,  both  qualities  being  es- 
sential in  his  business. 

From  one  of  his  ranch  places  to  Tonopah  is  a  desert 
drive  of  one  hundred  miles,  with  a  single  watering 
place  intervening,  and  Mr.  Jensen  has  been  making 
this  trip  for  several  years  past,  carrying  a  little  water 
during  the  longer  stretch,  which  is  about  sixty  miles. 
Not  long  ago  he  substituted  a  colt  for  one  of  the 
regular  team,  and  started  for  Tonopah.  Descending 
at  the  watering  place,  which  is  merely  a  spring  in  the 
desert,  Mr.  Jensen  proceeded  to  refill  his  water 
buckets.  While  so  engaged  the  colt  became  restless, 
and  finally  caught  the  bridle  on  the  end  of  the  neck 
yoke.  The  stockman's  nerve  almost  deserted  him  as 
the  colt,  thoroughly  frightened,  started  off  at  a  mad 
gallop,  draging  the  light  wagon  and  the  other  horse 
along  at  a  breakneck  pace.  It  was  forty  mile6  to  the 
ranch  house  behind  and  sixty  miles  to  Tonopah, 
either  route  stretching  across  a  trackless  desert, 
little  traveled,  and  where  he  was  accustomed  to  steer 
by  the  sun. 

The  colt  continued  to  gallop  until  the  other  horse, 
an  old  mare  long  driven  by  Mr.  Jensen,  recovered 
from  the  surprise  of  the  first  rush.  Then,  says  the 
stock-owner,  she  deliberately  laid  down  in  the  harness 
and  the  colt  not  being  able  to  budge  her  was  obliged 
to  stop.  When  Jensen  reached  home,  in  appreciation 
of  the  old  mare's  beneficent  action,  he  gave  orders 
that  she  should  be  turned  out  in  the  best  pasture  and 
never  again  be  harnessed. 


Want  to  Meet  Sweet  Marie. 


It  is  a  difference  of  opinion  that  makes  racing.  An 
Eastern  exchange  says:  A  few  owners  of  really  good 
trotters  are  not  scared  because  of  the  low  records  and 
graad  showing  made  by  Tiverton  and  Sweet  Marie 
last  season.  When  trotters  secure  such  fast  records 
as  these  two  it  becomes  a  serious  matter  to  provide 
races  for  them.  In  this  respect  the  present  method 
of  handicapping  the  trotter  is  unsatisfactory,  to  say 
the  least.  It  is  a  hardship  for  owners  to  find  that 
because  of  the  record  it  is  imposible  for  them  to  race 
a  good  sound  horse  down  the  line.  It  should  be  an 
easy  thing  to  provide  races  for  such  sensational  per- 
formers, for  the  public  is  always  anxious  to  witness 
exhibitions  of  extreme  speed  in  races.  As  a  matter  of 
fact  no  system  has  yet  been  adopted  in  this  country 
which  solves  the  problem,  and  there  is  in  consequence 
an  always  present  temptation  to  avoid  a  fast  record. 

But  while  this  will  have  to  be  worked  out  in  the 
future  by  race  track  managers,  this  season  is  at  hand 
and  managers  will  have  to  do  the  best  they  can  with 
present  methods.  In  order  to  make  the  free-for-alls 
interesting  with  Tiverton  and  Sweet  Marie  as  sure 
starters,  Mr.  Adkins  offered  to  start  Lisonjero,  in  the 
firm  belief  that  his  horse  would  be  able  to  make  a 
creditable  showing  in  such  fast  company.  Ther,  if 
report  is  correct,  Ed  Geers  thinks  that  his  trotter 
George  G.  2:06}  should  improve  enough  over  his  form 
of  last  year  to  warrant  his  being  started  against  any 
trotter  that  is  likely  to  start  in  the  free-for-all  classes 
this  season.  Just  now  Sweet  Marie  is  considered  to 
be  the  greatest  race  trotter  on  the  turf,  but  at  the 
close  of  the  approaching  race  season  some  compara- 
tively unknown  trotter  may  have  superseded  her  in 
the  estimation  of  the  public. 


The  death  of  Direct  overshadowed  the  demise  of 
another  stallion,  Joymaker,  which  occurred  the  other 
day  on  an  Illinois  breeding  farm.  Joymaker  had  a 
trotting  record  of  2:12^,  could  trot  in  2:10  when  he 
took  a  notion.  He  was  a  bad-tempered  horse,  and 
was  the  cause  of  Ed  Geers  sustaining  a  broken  leg. 
If  his  temper  had  been  better  he  might  have  made 
one  of  the  greatest  trotters  known  to  the  turf. 


An  interesting  and  admirably  illustrated  article  on 
"The  Horse  in  Ireland  "  appears  in  the  journal  of  the 
Irish  Department  of  Agriculture.  In  answering  the 
question  as  to  what  effect  the  soil  and  climate  of  Ire- 
land have  upon  the  size,  bone,  hair,  and  the  temper  of 
horses,  the  writer  says:  "A  typical  horse  descended 
from  animals  bred  in  Ireland  during  a  long  period  is 
of  good  size,  his  bone  is  well  developed — indeed  some- 
what disproportionately  well  developed  as  compared 
with  the  rest  of  his  body;  his  legs  are  clean,  flat  and 
hard,  without  the  spongy  softness  of  bone  or  ligament 
so  characteristic  of  the  British  horse.  The  hair  is 
fine  and  sparse  all  over  the  trunk,  and  though  some- 
what coarser  on  the  legs,  this  coarse  hair  is  practi- 
cally confined  to  the  back  of  the  fetlock. 

The  most  pronounced  characteristic  of  the  Irish 
horse,  as  distinguished  from  horses  of  other  countries, 
is  his  high  courage.  These  characteristics  may  be 
stated  to  be  fairly  typical;  but  they  vary,  of  course, 
in  different  parts  of  the  country.  The  Connemara 
pony — a  direct  and,  until  recent  years,  an  unpolluted 
descendant  of  the  horse  which  inhabited  this  island 
from  time  immemorial — though  dwarfed  by  the 
climatic  conditions  of  an  exposed  seaboard  as  well  as 
by  meagre  fare,  still  retains  the  high  courage  and 
stamina  of  his  ancestors,  and  though  somewhat  modi- 
fied in  shape,  possesses  the  strength  and  bone  so 
characteristic  of  the  Irish  horse.  Contrasting  the 
horses  bred  in  the  eastern  counties  with  those  bred  in 
the  West  of  Ireland,  we  find  that  on  the  rich  plains  of 
Meath  horses  will  not  grow  so  big,  are  more  fleshy 
and  though  possessed  of  good  bone  scarcely  equal  the 
Roscommon  horse  in  this  respect.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  Meath  horse  has  more  graceful  lines — having 
more  'quality' — than  his  Roscommon  brother,  who  is 
angular  and  coarse;  still,  both  evince  in  equal  measure 
the  characteristic  of  high  courage. " 

The  true  Irish  cart  horse,  which  was  produced  by 
careful  selection  from  the  horses  found  in  the  country 
at  the  close  of  the  eighteenth  century,  has  almost  dis- 
appeared. To  remedy  this  and  to  keep  the  Irish  cart 
horse  breed  distinct,  the  writer  advises  that  careful 
selection  and  intelligent  breeding  should  be  encour- 
aged by  the  establishment  of  a  stud  book.  No  substi- 
tute, it  is  declared,  is  so  suitable  as  the  Irish  draft 
horse  to  cross  with  a  thoroughbred  for  the  production 
of  hunters. 

The  Denver  Field  and  Fqrm  says:  A  part  of  Judge 
Colburn's  stable  was  sold  Saturday,  April  1st,  and  as 
the  event  had  been  poorly  advertised,  the  attendance 
was  light  and  prices  unearthly  low.  J.  O.  A.  Carper 
paid  $475  for  Bellorado,  a  brown  horse  foaled  in 
1898;  Miss  Royal,  a  two-year-old  bay  filly,  brought  the 
lowest  price,  $52  50;  California  McGregor  brought 
$295;  May  B  ,  $135;  Lorna  Doone,  chestnut  trotting 
mare,  $95;  Bonnie  Lassie,  pacing  gray  filly,  four  years 
old,  $100;  Queen  Sibley,  brown  trotting  filly,  1902, 
$177.50;  Beljora,  black  filly,  pacer,  $350;  Therbel,  bay 
pacing  filly,  $100;  Royal  D.,  pacer,  $150;  Lady  C, 
trotting  filly,  $200;  E.  A.  C,  gray  trotting  gelding, 
$275;  Queen  B  ,  chestnut  pacing  mare,  $167;  Daisy 
Toler,  chestnut  pacer,  $200. 


A  hoseman  recently  gave  utterance  to  this:  "It 
probably  appears  more  attractive  to  read  of  $500 
stakes  than  $500  purses,  but,  strictly  speaking,  there 
are  very  few  stakes  offered  nowadays.  According  to 
rules  'a  stake  is  a  race  open  to  all  complying  with  its 
published  conditions,  for  which  the  prize  is  the  total 
amount  of  money  contributed  by  the  nominators,  all 
of  which  belongs  to  the  winners,  unless  otherwise  pro- 
vided in  published  conditions.'  Nearly  all  the  events 
mentioned  as  stakes  are  neither  more  nor  less  than 
purses.  Most  early-closing  events,  payments  to  which 
are  made  in  installments,  are  now  called  stakes.  The 
only  difference  is  that  the  entrance  fee  is  paid  on  the 
installment  plan." 

It  is  a  mistake  that  trolting-bred  horses  are  only 
suitable  for  racing  purposes  and  that  every  foal 
dropped  upon  the  farm  must  show  extremespeed  with 
a  few  months'  development  or  is  worthless  and  useless 
material.  The  more  quickly  this  idea  is  gotten  rid  of 
the  better  it  will  be  for  the  owner.  The  well-bred, 
well-grown,  and  properly  broken  light-harness  horse 
is  always  a  moneymaker  in  the  hands  of  a  rustling 
owner.  The  only  carriage  horse  of  general  utility 
comes  from  the  union  of  trotting-bred  Btallions  and 
trotting-bred  mares. 

Mr.  C.  A.  Harrison,  of  Victoria,  B.  C,  writes  that 
Sophie  McKinney,  the  black  mare  he  purchased  from 
Thos.  Bonner  through  an  advertisement  In  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman,  and  which  he  afterwards 
sold  to  Mr.  J.  W.  Kelly,  has  foaled  a  beautiful  bay 
colt  with  one  foot  white,  of  good  size,  stroDgly  made 
and  a  pacer.  The  colt  is  a  son  of  one  of  California's 
greatest  stallions,  Nutwood  Wilkes.

The  Zolocks  in  San  Bernardino. 


San  Bernardino,  Cal  ,  April  13,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  AND  Sportsman:— San  Ber- 
nardino county  horse  interests  are  assuming  an 
importance  as  a  factor  in  the  productions  of  Southern 
California  second  only  to  that  of  the  orange  industry 
and  like  the  orange  culture  its  success  is  the  result  of 
nainstaking  in  the  selection  of  the  parent  stock.  This 
county,  I  might  also  say  this  city,  has  bred  twenty- 
two  horses  that  have  race  records  from  2:09}  to  2:20. 
This  is  a  grand  9howing  when  it  is  observed  that  with 
the  exception  of  Mr.  Davies,  the  breeder,  and  owner 
of  Zolock  2:091,  wn0  nas  bred  four  of  the  list,  the 
balance  have  been  bred  by  as  many  different  owners 
as  there  are  horses:  but  this  record  will  bethoroughly 
eclipsed  in  the  next  three  years  as  there  areat  present 
in  the  city  and  elsewhere  no  less  than  fifteen  celts  and 
fillies  by  Zolock  2:09}  that  will  pace  or  trot  miles  in 
2:20  or  better  in  the  next  ninety  days  judged  by  their 
present  ability  and  rapid  improvement  in  their  work. 

Bystander  2:13i;,  by  Zolock,  on  St.  Patrick's  Day, 
stepped  the  two  fastest  miles  ever  paced  over  an 
Arizona  track  defeating  horses  sired  by  the  great 
Sidney  Dillon  and  Zombro. 

Lillian  Zolock,  three  years  old  by  Zolock,  owned  by 
A.  H.  Davidson  of  Phoenix,  trotted  two  heats  on  Si. 
Patrick's  Day;  time  respectively  2:35  and  2:24.  These 
colts  were  bred  by  John  A.  Cole  of  this  city. 

Thomas  Holmes  just  sold  Mr.  W.  G.  Durfee  a  colt 
three  years  old  by  Zolock  2:09}, dam  by  Happy  Prince 
for  $1000  and  Mr.  Durfee  resold  the  colt  for  $2000. 
This  colt  showed  the  purchaser  a  mile  in  2:15  the  last 
one-eighth  in  15  seconds.  This  is  the  third  Zolock 
colt  that  has  sold  for  $2000  in  the  last  three  months. 

Dr.  I.  W.  Hazelett  has  a  three-year-old  pacing 
filly  by  Zolock  that  has  repeated  miles  in  2:20.  She  is 
in  the  hands  of  Mr.  Holloway,  an  old  assistant  of 
Chas.  Marvin  at  Palo  Alto. 

S.  B.  Wright,  of  Colton,  California,  is  the  breeder 
and  owner  of  Redlock  by  Zolock  2:09},  dam  Alta 
Reina  record  2:27  as  a  two-year-old,  that  is  a  grand 
specimen  of  equine  beauty,  commanding  enthusiasm 
whether  shown  at  the  halter  or  sulky.  Although 
only  thirty  months  old  he  can  trot  a  mile  in  2:25  and 
oac  show  quarters  in  33  seconds.  Mr.  Wright  values 
this  colt  at  $5000  and  does  not  want  to  sell  at  that. 

N.  M.  Strong,  of  this  city,  owner  of  the  champion 
two-year  old  Ambush  2:20  by  Zolock  2:09},  is  very 
proud  of  his  colt,  as  he  is  today  a  very  handsome 
fast  young  trotter,  now  in  the  hands  of  Messrs. 
Prescott  &  Bonnell.  Mr.  Bonnell  worked  him  an  easy 
mile  in  2:21,  last  quarter  in  34  seconds. 

John  A.  Cole,  themost  extensive  breeder  of  trotters 
and  thoroughbreds  in  the  Southern  part  of  the  State, 
owns  a  beautiful  black  filly  by  Zolock  that  W.  S. 
Durfee,  of  Los  Angeles,  is  working.  She  has  already 
stepped  miles  in  2:21,  last  quarter  in  32  seconds. 

J.  B.  Thompson,  of  Riverside,  has  as  fine  a  speci- 
men of  the  gentleman's  roadster  and  race  horse  as 
can  be  found  in  a  brown  four-year-old  filly  by  Zolock, 
dam  by  Maximilian.  She  can  show  a  mile  in  2:20 
any  time. 

J  B.  Pope,  a  civil  engineer  of  San  Francisco,  has  a 
splendid  promise  of  a  race  horse  in  the  chestnut  geld- 
ing, Wedlock  by  Zolock.  Wedlock  has  only  had 
thirty  days  in  breaking  and  training  but  has  paced  a 
mile  in  2:42. 

Wm.  Rubidouz  and  Miss  Abbott  own  a  good  three- 
year-old  filly  by  Zolock,  dam  by  Happy  Prince  that 
has  shown  a  mile  trotting  in  2:35  with  but  little  work. 

J.  E.  Fairchilds,  of  Redlands,  owns  Bonnie  June,  a 
very  promising  three-year-old  filly  that  has  worked 
miles  in  2:36J.  She,  too,  is  by  Zolock,  dam  by  Wool- 
sey,  full  brother  of  Sunol. 

Geo.  W.  Prescott  of  Highland  owns  Adalantha  by 
Zolock,  dam  Berlinda  the  dam  of  Roan  Wilkes  (three 
years  old  2:12*),  this  colt  has  all  the  signs  of  a  race 
horse  and  those  who  saw  him  take  his  work  lately  in 
2:36  say  "there  is  no  question."  ' 

Joseph  Kelley  Is  the  breeder  and  owner  of  Bow- 
lock  by  Zolock,  dam  by  Happy  Prince,  that  is  coming 
very  fast  to  bis  speed;  barring  accident  we  all  expect 
to  see  him  trot  in  2:30  or  better  in  the  very  near 
future. 

E.  F.  Binder,  of  Riverside,  the  president  of  the 
Riverside  Driving  Club,  Is  the  proud  possessor  of  a 
jet  black  two-year-old  by  Zolock  2:09}  that  set  all  the 
horse  admirers  to  "rubbernecking."  Although  only 
fairly  broken  her  smooth,  fric.lonless  way  of  going 
commands  attention. 

■  ii.  Roberts,  President  of  tho  San  Bernardino 
National  Bank,  has  a  pair-  of  ZolooH  Bllles  that  can 
pole  together  in  2:40,  their  dam  is  by  Maximilian,  he 
by  Echo  and  he  by  Rysdyk  Ionian  10. 

Benj. Davies,  the  breeder  and  owner  of  Zolock  2:004; 
Is  having  the  champion   two-year-old   pacer 
2:liiJ  tr  lined  at  Los  Angoles.     Reports  from  there  in- 
dicate ber  speed  has  oome  with  her   age  and   2:10  or 
s  easily  within  her  capacity  this   season.     Mr, 


Davies  has  others  in  training  by  Zolock  and  there 
are  many  others  that  are  worthy  of  education  in  the 
field  of  speed.  Mr.  Davies  is  one  of  the  most  popular 
stallion  owners  in  the  South  as  when  any  of  his 
patrons  lose  a  mare  or  colt  he  puts  himself  in  their 
place  and  settles  accordingly. 

"ALCANTELLUM." 


Treatment  of  Strains. 


A  strain,  even  a  comparatively  slight  one,  is  quitt 
capable  of  developing  into  a  serious  matter  if  not 
attended  to  in  time,  and  consequently  when  one  is  sus- 
pected the  horse  should  at  once  stopped  in  his  work 
and  have  cold  water  applied  liberally  to  the  leg  -where 
thestrain  is.  The  limb  may  either  be  played  upon  by 
a  hose  or  be  immersed  in  a  bucket  of  cold  water  for 
as  long  a  time,  in  reason,  as  can  be  managed,  and  then 
it  should  be  bandaged,  not  too  tightly,  the  bandage 
being  kept  as  wet  as  possible.  It  is,  in  fact,  no  use 
at  all,  but  the  reverse,  to  leave  the  bandages  on  long 
enough  for  them  to  become  dry,  as  if  they  do  they 
become  hot  and  only  aggravate  the  sprain;  therefore 
it  is  best  to  take  them  off  the  last  thing  at  night. 
Some  persons  prefer  hot  fomentations  on  the  part 
affected,  but  for  the  purposes  of  most  people  the  cold 
application  will  be  sufficient, and  it  is  certainly  simpler. 
The  diet  should  be  cooling,  bran  mashes  being  substi- 
tuted for  oats  at  the  first  outset,  whilst  later  on  half 
feeds  of  oatB  may  be  given.  If  the  inflammation  shows 
no  signs  of  abating  it  may  become  necessary  to  blister 
the  limb  after  a  fortnight  or  so  of  the  cold  water  treat- 
ment, but  if  the  horse  begins  to  go  souDd  he  may  be 
spared  the  operation.  Sometimes  it  will  ease  him 
when  he  first  goes  to  work  again  if  his  shoes  are 
raised  at  the  heels  so  as  to  remove  the  pressure  on  the 
back  tendon. 

Some  persons  advocate  calkins  on  the  heels  in  the 
case  of  horses  which  have  suffered  from  the  effects  of 
sprain;  but  though  these  may  be  efficacious  in  some 
cases,  they  are  not  to  be  generally  recommended  for 
animals  which  have  to  do  fast  work  on  the  hard 
roads,  though  it  mus!.  be  admitted  in  their  favor  that 
calkins  on  the  outside  ot  the  heel  will  act  as  preven- 
tives against  slipping.  In  the  case  of  hunters,  too, 
they  are  useful  for  the  same  purpose,  but  it  19  quite  a 
different  thing  when  the  harness  horse  is  considered, 
and  consequently,  though  their  are  cases  when  calkins 
are  not  only  desirable  but  necessary,  their  universal 
adoption  is  not  recommended. — Horseman. 


News  From  the  North. 


[Portland  Rural  Spirit,  April  1-}.] 

Mr.  Aug.  Erickson's  fine  stallion,  Hal  B.  2:04J, 
arrived  in  Portland  this  week  and  is  domiciled  at 
Irvington  track,  where  he  will  make  a  stud  season. 

The  Oregon  Futurity  of  $5000  is  for  foals  of  mares 
bred  in  Oregon,  Washington,  Idaho,  Montana  and 
British  Columbia. 

J.  N.  McKay  will  drive  his  Lovelace  filly,  Loveless 
(3)  2:20,  on  the  road  this  year  and  it  will  take  a  pretty 
good  one  to  pass  her. 

N.  K.  West's  horses  are  reported  working  well  this 
spring  and  Sim  Lindseys  colors  may  be  seen  in  front 
again  this  year  in  the  big  events. 

L.  P.  W.  Quimby,  who  has  been  spending  the  past 
year  in  Los  Angeles,  is  back  to  the  Exposition  City 
again  and  will  spend  the  summer  here. 

L.  B.  Lindsey  writes  us  that  the  Walla  Walla  track 
is  being  kept  in  splendid  condition  by  "Shorty" 
Martin  and  is  one  of  the  best  tracks  in  the  Northwest. 

D.  B.  Stewart,  of  Spokane,  will  send  his  Zombro 
filly,  out  of  Alteno,  to  Los  Angeles  to  be  trained.  Mr. 
Stewart  thinks  she  is  the  most  promising  trotter  he 
has  ever  seen. 

Many  of  the  horsemen  at  Spokane  are  urging  the 
association  there. to  build  a  mile  track.  This,  in  their 
opinion,  would  make  Spokane  a  great  horse  center 
and  add  materially  to  the  race  meetings  there. 

About  $11,000  has  been  subscribed  for  the  fair 
ground  and  race  track  at  Pendleton,  and  it  is  ex- 
pected another  $1000  will  be  raised  in  Pendleton  before 
soliciting  from  farmers  and  stockmen  in  adjoining 
counties.  In  view  of  the  present  excellent  prospects 
for  the  grain  crop  this  year  it  is  thought  that  no 
difficulty  will  be  had  in  raising  the  amount  needed 
from  stockmen  and  other  interested  parties  over  the 
county. 

The  Montana  Stockman  says  that  during  the  past 
few  months  hundreds  of  Montana  horses  have  been 
shipped  to  Canadian  points,  and  the  reports  indicate 
that  they  have  been  bringing  good  prices.  The 
demand  for  work  stock  was  never  better,  due  to  the 
rapidly  increasing  settlement  of  the  Canadian  north- 
west. All  American  horses,  unless  registered,  are 
charged  a  duty  of  20  per  cent,  the  valuation  being 
fixed  by  the  Canadian  authorities.  As  the  lowest 
valuation  on  mares  is  $50,  the  duty  is  $10  per  head  at 
least. 


Plans  lor  Great  Improvements. 

[San  Jose  Mercury,  April,  15] 

The  San  Jose  Amusement  and  Driving  Park  Asso- 
ciation, articles  of  incorporation  of  which  were  filed 
some  months  ago  with  the  County  Clerk,  has  com- 
menced the  work  of  reconstructing  Agricultural  Park 
into  a  first  class  amusement  and  driving  preseive. 
About  $50,000  will  be  expended  upon  remodeling  and 
building.  A  large  force  of  men  is  now  at  work  grad- 
ing, tearing  down  and  building.  It  is  meant  the  park 
will  be  the  headquarters  for  a  Gentlemen's  Driving 
Club.  Quarters  to  accommodate  500  horses  will  be 
built.  The  amusement  division  of  the  park  will 
greatly  resemble  the  San  Francisco  Chutes  and  will 
contain  many  attractions  throughout  the  year. 

The  incorporation  of  the  association  immediately 
followed  the  signing  of  papers  whereby  Agricultural 
Park  was  leased  to  F.  S.  Granger  for  a  term  of  ten 
years,  with  an  option  on  the  ensuing  decade.  The 
directors  of  the  association  are  F.  S.  Granger,  C.  D. 
Wright,  Robert  M.  Wright,  J.  R.  Phelps  and  T.  C. 
Barnett.-  A  number  of  wealthy  San  Franciscans  are 
behind  the  project. 

F.  S.  Granger,  one  of  the  directors,  said  yesterday : 
"We  intend  to  make  this  the  finest  harness  horse 
track  in  the  world.  The  track  itself  will  not  be 
touched,  as  it  is  the  finest  in  the  State.  It  is  the  in 
tention  of  the  association  to  transform  the  park  into 
a  race  course,  with  better  facilities  and  an  amusement 
division  which  will  be  upon  a  plan  similar  to  that  of 
the  Chutes  in  San  Francisco. 

"As  to  the  course,  new  fences  will  be  built  both  on 
the  inside  and  outside,  new  quarterpoles  of  the  latest 
type  will  be  set  up  in  place  of  the  weather-scarred  old 
ones.  The  grandstand  will  be  strengthened  and  en- 
larged to  double  its  present  seating  capacity,  which 
is  about  1500.  The  judges' stand  will  be  rebuilt  and 
painted.  An  inside  winter  track  will  be  built  with 
the  earnest  endeavor  to  have  it  a  great  deal  better 
than  the  one  at  Pleasanton. 

"A  street  leading  from  the  main  entrance  on  the 
Alameda  to  the  track  will  be  built  with  a  width  62 
feet.     It  will  be  paved  with  gravel. 

"The  present  quarters  of  the  stables,  where  Lou 
Dillon,  and  other  racing  horses  are  kept  during  the 
winter  months,  will  be  moved  further  over  to  the 
northward.  Larger  training  stables  with  complete 
modern  facilities  will  take  the  place  of  the  old  sheds 
and  will  accommodate  over  500  horses. 

"Some  twenty  men  are  now  at  work  making  neces- 
sary changes,  tearing  down,  hauling  out  rubbish  and 
otherwise  bettering  the  condition  and  appearance  of 
the  park.  The  office  at  the  Alameda  entrance  will  be 
moved  north  toward  the  pavilion  to  make  room  for 
the  roadway.  A  handsome  two-story  structure  of 
brick  will  take  the  place  of  the  present  shed. 

"The  Rose  Carnival  pavilion  will  be  presented  with 
a  new  roof  and  several  coats  of  paint,  besides  the 
extensive  remodeling  of  the  interior.  When  we  are 
done  with  it,  it  will  be  an  ornament  to  the  city. 

"But  to  return  to  the  track.  We  are  especially 
desirous  of  forming  a  gentlemen's  driving  club,  such 
as  Los  Angeles,  Denver  and  Kansas  City  have:  Steps 
towards  organization  will  be  begun  shortly.  The  race 
track  will  be  kept  in  such  prime  condition  throughout 
the  winter  that  it  will  be  possible  to  drive  around  it 
less  than  an  hour  after  a  rain  storm.  The  trotting 
association  which  met  here  last  fall  will  a*so  hold  race3 
during  the  month  of  August  this  year.  In  1906  there 
will  be  a  big  meeting  in  the  spring  and  one  again  in  the 
fall  of  the  year.  In  all  some  $50,000  will  be  expended 
upon  the  park  before  we  are  through  with  it. 

The  amusement  division  of  Agricultural  Park  will 
be  kept  entirely  separate  from  the  race  track.  A 
neat  ten-foot  board  fence  will  extend  from  the  main 
entrance  to  the  track  and  from  there  over  to  the 
farthest  edge  of  the  grove  and  from  that  point  will 
run  over  to  Race  street.  We  plan  the  park  to  be 
upon  the  same  lines  as  the  Chutes  in  San  Francisco. 
A  dancing  pavilion  will  be  built.  A  summer  theater, 
upon  which  an  excellent  bill  of  vaudeville  will  be 
given  during  the  seven  warmer  months  of  the  year, 
will  be  among  the  main  attractions.  Many  other 
minor  features  will  be  added.  Last,  but  not  least,  it 
is  our  intention  to  have  a  zoo,  which  will  be  of  no 
mean  proportions,  during  the  winter  months.  I  re- 
ceived a  letter  from  C.  W.  Norris,  the  showman,  a  few 
days  ago  in  which  he  asked  me  if  the^park  was  still 
open  for  winter  quarters.  I  said  that  it  was.  Of  the 
show  people's  intentions  regarding  Santa  Cruz  I  do 
not  know  further  but  expect  to  hear  from  Mr.  Norris 
again  in  a  short  while."   , 


Scott  Hudson  says  he  will  not  race  his  horses  in  the 
Grand  Circuit  this  year.  The  bunch  Scott  started 
down  the  line  with  last  season  did  not  perform  like 
Grand  Circuit  material,  and  perhaps  the  resemblance 
between  the  1904  and  1905  lots  is  so  close  that  the 
hustling  Kentuckian  thinks  he  can  do  better  out  in 
the  bushes.

SIRES    OF    WINNING   TWO-YEAR-OLDS    OF 
1904. 

The  Male  Line  of    Eclipse,  Through  Stockwell, 
in  Advance  of  All  Others. 

In  the  year  1904  there  were  260  stallions  whose  get 
won  at  two-years  old,  upwards  of  $200  in  stakes  or 
purses.  Of  these  there  were  34  whose  sons  and 
daughters  won  in  excess  of  $10,000,  the  great  Ham- 
burg being  in  the  lead  of  all  the  rest,  so  far  as  two- 
year-olds  were  concerned,  with  Meddler  the  actual 
premier  of  the  season,  second  to  him  by  the  narrow 
margin  of  $3500  and  over  $12,000  ahead  of  the  imported 
horse  Goldfinch,  who  was  third  on  this  list.  An 
asterisk  after  a  horses  name  denotes  he  was  imported :

won  over  $2000  and  less  than  $5000.  Of  the  34  whose 
progeny  won  over  $10,000,  we  find  the  following 
Eclipse-line  horses:

The  following  are  Eclipse  horses  but  only  ones  of 
their  respective  families: 

Ben  Brush  from  the  line  of  Don  John,  and  Clifford 
by  the  31019  sire,  is  pretty  well  up  in  the  second  class 
of  forty-one.  Of  the  Herod  line  we  find  the  following, 
all  through  Glencoe,  son  of  Sultan: 

The  Commoner  Handsel 

Jim  Gore  Handsome 

Three  of  these  are  by  HanoverCnow  five  years  dead) 
and  Jim  Gore  is  by  Hindoo,  the  sire  of  Hanover.  The 
Malchem  line  (now  extinct,  save  through  homely  old 
Melbourne,  foaled  1834)  is  represented  by  Hastings, 
Kingston  and  Lamplighter,  they  having  a  total  of 
$73,389  between  them. 

Of  the  41  stallions  whose  progeny  several  won  over 
$5000  and  less  than  $10,000  I  find  33  from  the  male  line 
of  Eclipse,  5  from  that  of  Herod  and  3  from  the  nearly 
extinct  line  of  Matchem  who  was  foaled  in  1748  and 
which  would  now  beextinct  had  it  not  been  for  homely 
old  Melbourne.  And  yet  it  is  well  known  to  all  in- 
telligent breeders  that  the  male  line  of  Matchem 
carries  more  bone  and  substance  than  any  other. 
When  we  consider  that  Sir  Modred  headed  the  list  in 
1894,  with  the  largest  number  of  races  (208)  ever 
credited  to  any  premier  sire  in  America,  the  falling 
off  of  the  Herod  line  is  something  to  be  followed  by 
an  exclamation  point. 

In  1893  there  were  thirteen  stallions  whose  get  won 
over  $50,000  for  races  open  to  all  ages;  and  of  these 
thirteen  there  were  four  from  the  male  line  of  Leam- 
ington— Iroquois,  Longfellow,  Onondaga  and  Eolus. 
In  that  year  Iroquois  had  to  his  credit  $138,000,  of 
which  $47,000,  in  round  numbers,  was  won  by  two- 
year-olds.  Last  year  no  son  of  Iroquois  made  any 
great  showing  as  a  sire  of  early  performers,  G.  W. 
Johnson  being  the  best  with  $8875  to  his  credit  and 
Gotham  next  with  $8611.  All  the  other  sons  of 
Iroquois  were  below  the  $5000  mark  last  year;  and  as 
for  the  sons  of  Longfellow,  they  seem  to  have  faded 
out  of  sight  completely.  Onondaga  is  much  better 
known  through  his  daughters  than  through  his  sons; 
and  the  same  is  true  of  his  full  brothers,  Sensation 
and  Stratford.  Russell  by  Eolus  seems  to  have  kept 
up  the  family  traditions  better  than  any  other  Leam- 
ngton  horse  in  America.    The  following  table  shows 


what  horses  got  winners  of  twenty  races  and  upwards 
in  1904.

TOZER'S     GOSSIP. 


Below  will  be  found  a  tabular  statement  of  what  the 
better-class  horses  have  accomplished  at  the  Emery- 
ville meeting  since  the  season  began  last  November. 
It  is  a  peculiar  fact  that  the  old  horse  with  the  best 
winning  percentage  (Andrew  Mack)  was  suspended  at 
Ascot  Park,  Los  Angeles,  for  inconsistent  running. 
Trainer-owner  William  Cahill  has  certainly  accom- 
plished wonders  with  the  son  of  Charaxus.  Sir  Wil- 
fred is  undoubtedly  the  best  two-year-old  that  has 
raced  here,  Dr.  Leggo  the  "classiest"  three-year-old 
colt,  and  True  Wing  the  best  of  the  three-year-old 
fillies.  W.  R.  Condon  won  the  most  money  of  the 
older  horses,  while  Dr.  Leggo  is  in  front  as  a  money- 
winner  of  any  age  with  $11,035  to  his  credit  in  1905 
alone.  As  a  two-year-old  he  won  $2025.  Two  Pacific 
Coast  records  have  been  hung  up  by  the  son  of  Pur- 
year  D.  and  Sevens — mile  and  fifty  yards  and  miie 
and  three-sixteenths — while  he  ran  a  mile  in  1:39  fiat 
handily  with  103  lbs.  up  and  forced  Elie  to  break  the 
world's  record  at  three  miles.  Last  Wednesday  the 
Doctor  beat  Honiton  and  other  good  ones  at  a  mile 
and  a  furlong  and  easily.  Andrew  Mack  ran  a  mile 
and  a  sixteenth  over  a  sloppy  track  in  1 :46J  on  April 
15th,  winning  eased  up  by  six  lengths.  The  merit  of 
the  performance  can  best  be  judged  by  the  fact  that 
the  horse  was  timed  the  last  mile  in  1:39J,  in  deep  slop. 
I  doubt  if  this  showing  was  ever  even  closely  ap- 
proached. The  very  next  race  on  the  card,  at  the 
same  distance,  was  run  in  1:49*  with  92  lbs.  up. 
"Lucky"  Baldwin's  Cruzados  won  a  phenomenal  race 
in  the  mud  last  Tuesday,  being  all  but  left  at  the  post 
and  winning  in  1:01J  in  the  last  stride  with  122  lbs.  up. 
At  Los  Angeles  this  horse  ran  six  furlongs  in  1:12}, 
the  Coast  record  at  the  distance.  Other  extraordinary 
performances  by  horses  in  the  list  which  follows  were 
Ananias'  mile  and  100  yards  in  l:44j  with  110  lbs.  up 
and  mile  and  a  furlong  in  1 :52  with  104  lbs. ;  Honiton  'a 
Futurity  course  run  in  1:09s  with  120  lbs.,  five  and 
one-half  furlongB  in  1:06|  with  120  lbs.,  six  and  one- 
half  furlongs  in  1:19J  with  1:09  lbs.  up  and  seven  fur- 
longs in  1:26.\  with  134  lbs.  in  the  saddle;  and  last,  but 
not  least,  Dainty's  seven  and  one-half  furlongs  iu  1:32 
with  109  lbs.  up.  Elie's  three  miles  in  5:22  with  100 
lbs.  up  is  a  world's  record.  I  believe  Wallace  and 
Quiver,  dead  heaters,  ran  the  distance  in  Australia  in 
5:23  fiat,  and  this  was  the  previous  best  on  record.

Of  the  above,  A.  B.  Spreckels  bred  Achelita,  Alice 
Carey  and  Dr.  Leggo  at  his  Napa  Stock  Farm. 
Arabo,  Bailey,  Celeres,  Cousin  Carrie,  Dainty,  Fossil. 
Iredeus,  Letola,  Mendanao  and  Nigrette  were  bred  by 
J.  B.  Haggin  at  Rancho  del  Paso.  Bell  Reed  and  F. 
W.  Burrfirst  saw  the  light  at  the  Antrim  Stock  Farm 
of  Charles  Kerr,  Bakersfield.  Cerro  Santa  is  a  pro- 
duct of  E.  J.  Baldwin's  Santa  Anita  rancho.  Hain- 
ault, Honiton,  Roman  Gold  and  Sir  Wilfred  were 
foaled  at  the  Menlo  Stock  Farm  of  W.  O'B.  Mac- 
donough;  Andrew  B.  Cook  at  Boots'  Elmwood  Farm, 
Milpitas;  and  Edgecliff  at  Burns  &  Waterhouse's 
Sacramento  county  farm.  Ananias  is  an  English  colt; 
Andrew  Mack,  a  Virginian;  Claude,  Horatius,  St. 
George  Jr.,  Toupee,  Pelham,  and  W.  R.  Condon, 
Kentucky-bred; Northwest  from  Montana;  True  Wing 
from  Illinois;  Father  Catcham  and  Sad  Sam  from 
Texas. 


The  racing  situation  in  the  Middle  West  is  still  in  a 
strained  condition.  The  Corrigan  orowd  refuse  to 
attend  a  peace  conference  unless  the  Western  Jockey 
Club  rescinds  its  outlaw  rule,  and  if  the  W.  J.  C.  did 
that  it  might  just  as  well  throw  up  the  sponge  and 
acknowledge  defeat.  They  will  be  forced  to  shy  the 
sponge  anyhow  very  shortly,  unless  the  signs  of  the 
times  are  all  wrong,  for  the  Washington  Park  folk 
are  all  talking  of  throwing  Condon  and  the  W.  J.  C. 
aside  unless  it  does  away  with  the  outlaw  rule.  If  the 
Washington  Park  Club  kicked  over  the  W.  J.  C. 
traces  that  would  be  the  blow  that  would  take  the 
underpinning  from  the  organization  at  one  fell  swoop, 
for  its  president,  Lawrence  Young,  is  also  the  head 
and  front  of  the  Western  Jockey  Club.  At  St.  Louis 
the  battle  of  last  year  is  being  waged  over  again,  and 
the  outlook  is  for  the  usual  heavy  Iossee  on  both 
sides,  with  nothing  gained  but  a  bunch  of  bitterness 
over  the  dog-in-the-manger  business.  It  is  fitting 
that  St.  Louis  should  be  the  last  battle  ground,  be- 
cause the  Western  Jockey  Club  began  the  grave- 
digging  act  by  refusing  dates  to  Union  track.  Corri- 
gan couldn't  see  anything  in  running  opposition  to 
the  Mound  City  Mafia,  and  the  result  was  that  he 
sent  hut  a  few  two-year  olds  to  race  at  Union.  Capt. 
Carmody  resigned  the  managerial  reins  and  P.  A. 
Brady,  well-known  as  presiding  judge  at  St.  Louis 
meetings,  took  up  the  forlorn  hope.  Mr.  Brady 
knows  all  the  angles  of  the  racing  game,  but  if  they 
make  any  money  at  Union  the  new  manager  will  be 
entitled  to  a  large-sized  oil  chiomo  entitled,  "Per- 
forming a  Miracle."  Judging  by  the  fact  that  Bar- 
ney Schreiber's  horses  are  runnirg  in  purse  races  at 
the  Fair  Grounds,  St.  Louis,  it  seems  he  has  cast  his 
lot  with  the  Western  Jockey  Club,  which,  if  true, 
will  be  a  great  surprise  to  turfmen  all  over  the 
country,  for  he  was  supposed  to  be  Ed.  Corrigan's 
friend  from  soda  to  hoci.  Certain  it  is  that  Corrigan 
has  always  been  the  German's  friend,  and  this  sup- 
posed change  of  front  is  nothing  short  of  shocking, 
and  the  causes  leading  up  to  it  should  surely  prove 
interesting  in  the  extreme. 


Father  Catcham  easily  defeated  F.  W.  Barr  over  a 
heavy  track  at  half  a  mile  last  Wednesday,  and 
though  Barr  was  conceding  Catcham  nine  pounds,  he 
beat  Stanfield  &  Ellis'  good  coit  by  three  lengths, 
pulled  up  to  a  canter.  Catcham  had  Travers  up, 
while  Barr  was  ridden  by  the  youngster,  T.  Clark. 
Everything  considered,  therefore,  theEe  colts  are 
very  closely  matched  when  they  go  four  and  one-half 
furlongs.  Ralph  H.  Tozer.

Fly-Casters  at  Banquet. 

Dr.  Henry  van  Dyke  of  Princeton  was  guest  of 
honor  at  a  banquet  of  the  San  Francisco  Fly-Casting 
Club  last  Wednesday  evening. 

After  the  disposal  of  a  good  dinner  President  Ed 
Everett  introduced  Judge  John  Hunt  as  the  toast- 
master  for  the  evening.  The  Judge  was  in  his  hap- 
piest humor,  during  the  course  of  his  introductory 
remarks  he  referred  to  Dr.  van  Dyke  as  the  author  of 
two  popular  angling  classics,  "Fishermen's  Luck" 
and ''Little  Rivers."  He  extolled  him  as  an  enthu- 
siastic sportsman  und  skilled  angler,  a  student  of 
books,  a  student  of  nature  and  a  writer  of  graceful 
verse. 

Dr.  van  Dyke,  when  he  arose  to  respond  received  a 
most  cordial  greeting.  The  Doctor's  remarks  were 
interesting  and  entertaining  and  colored  at  times  with 
a  bit  of  sterling  humor  given  with  unction.  Among 
other  matters  dwelt  upon  the  Doctor  proudly  said 
that  during  a  recent  visit  to  the  McCloud  river  he 
had  occasion  to  wado  a  portion  of  that  famous  stream. 
The  experience  when  linked  with  otherB  be  had  since 
mot  with  had  convinced  him  that  thuro  is  nothing 
than  California  wati'i*  and  nothing  warmer 
than  a  California  welcome. 

Be  romplimented  the  fly-casters  on  the  fact  that  the 
world's  record  in  that  department  of  sport  is  held 
here  and  he  characterized  angling  as  a  lofty  and 
ennobling  pursuit  1 1  could  aoaroely  bo  described  aa  a 
pastime,  as  he  estimated  that  every  pound  of 
irouRQl  to  basket  by  an  angler  coi 
do  Are.    He  spoke  of  fly-flshlng  as  a  lofty,  ennobling 


occupation.  He  said  some  people  looked  upon  it  as  a 
mild  form  of  lunacy,  but  he  had  found  it  dainty, 
charming  and  pleasant  to  the  finer  sensibilities. 

He  instanced  that  only  classic  in  sporting  litera- 
ture that  had  to  do  with  fishing,  namely:  "The Com- 
plete Angler"  and  he  described  glowingly  the  beauties 
of  the  McCloud  river  and  its  surroudings— an  ideal 
stream,  the  realization  of  an  angler's  dream. 

Dr.  van  Dyke  told  several  stories  and  preached  a 
dainty  sermon.  One  of  his  stories  was  of  the  Scotch- 
man, who  after  an  unsucessful  day  on  the  river  tossed 
his  flyhook  into  the  staeam  and  said  in  disgust:  "Tak' 
yer  choice!" 

He  also  told  of  the  great  trout  Nicodemus  on  the 
River  Never  Sink  and  of  the  man  who  tried  to  take 
him.  In  the  morning  he  tried  a  red  ibis.  The  trout 
got  away  with  this.  Later  in  the  day  he  had  him  on 
a  white  miller  and  again  his  troutship  disappeared. 
In  the  evening  he  tried  him  with  a  blue  jay  and  after 
a  struggle  landed  him.  The  three  flies  were  fastened 
to  the  trout  and  when  the  angler  saw  the  national 
colors  he  remembered  it  was  the  Fourth  of  July  and 
he  know  why  the  combinations  had  proved  so  affec- 
tive. 

Governor  Pardee  sent  his  regrets  for  an  unavoid- 
absence  from  the  gathering.  In  voicing  them  Judge 
Hunt  combined  the  introduction  of  Dr.  Jordan  of 
Stanford  University,  saying: 

"The  'Governor'  is  a  good  fly,  but  the  'professor  is 
a  better  one."  Dr.  Jordan  created  a  laugh  by  ad- 
dressing his  auditors  as  "fellow  geologists."  He  said: 
"The  trout  lie  at  the  bottom  of  green  streams.  Let 
us  lie  about  the  trout. "  He  then  spoke  entertainingly 
of  the  anglers  of  Samoa,  Japan  and  Honolulu  He 
took  a  rise  out  of  Judge  Hunt  by  telling  how  the 
latter  loaned  his  trout  scales  to  a  lady  who  found  they 
recorded  the  weight  of  her  baby  as  being  sixty-eight 
pounds. 

He  was  followed  by  Charles  S.  Wheeler,  who  de- 
scribed a  fishing  trip  to  the  McCloud  in  company  with 
Dr.  van  Dyke,  during  which  the  gentleman  from 
Princeton  landed  a  seven  pound  Dolly  Varden  trout. 
As  showing  that  this  was  no  "fish  story"  the  trout 
was  paraded  on  a  huge  platter  and  there  was  a  gen- 
eral craning  to  get  a  glimpse  of  the  noble  "speckled 
beauty."  Mr.  Wheeler  explained  that  the  trout  was 
killed  with  a  six  and  a  quarter  ounce  Leonard  rod  and 
said  he  never  saw  a  fish  handled  with  more  skill  and 
grace. 

Alex  T.  Vogelsang,  the  next  speaker,  did  full  justice 
and  in  a  particularly  apt  and  felicitous  manner  to 
"The  Scientific  Angler,"  a  subject  which  bespoke 
upon  entertainingly  and  exhaustively,  saying  among 
other  things  that  a  true  fisherman  should  rejoice 
more  over  a  few  fish  well  caught  than  over  a  full 
creel.  He  advocated  the  observance  of  chivalry  to- 
wards the  denizens  of  the  stream.  Instead  of  losing 
temper  when  a  fish  gets  away  the  proper  thing,  accord- 
ing to  the  Vogelsang  code,  is  to  congratulate  him  on 
having  made  his  escape.  '  'Remember  you  are  merely 
working  lor  your  own  pleasure,  while  the  fish  is  fight- 
ing for  his  life,"  was  the  way  the  speaker  put  it. 
The  banquet  was  one  of  the  most  enjoyable  of  the 
many  given  by  the  club.     Those  present  were:

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


SHOW  PROSPECTS  LOOK  GOOD. 

Entries  have  been  pouring  in  for  the  S.  F.  K.  C. 
show  next  month.  The  closing  date  for  entries  is 
April  29th,  so  it  behooves  intending  exhibitors  to 
enter  their  dogs  early  and  often.  A  pedigree  is  not 
an  essential  feature.  You  can  enter  your  dog  if  you 
cannot  give  the  breeding. 


LOCAL    DOGS    GO    NORTH. 

Judging  from  the  demand  we  have  had  for  Van- 
couver, Victoria.  Seattle  and  Portland  premium  lists 
and  entry  blanks  it  looks  as  if  there  waB  to  be  a  strong 
representation  of  local  fanciers  on  the  benches  of  the 
above  shows.  The  Seattle  entries  closed  on  the  19th, 
Portland  will  close  on  the  25th. 

We  believe  there  will  be  a  reciprocal  entry  of 
Northern  dogs  at  the  'Frisco  show  next  month  and 
without  doubt  a  number  of  these  dngs  will  show  at 
Los  Angeles  the  week  after  the  S.  F.  K.  C.  show. 


was  an  accidental  oversight.  The  lists  have  since 
been  corrected.  The  regular  prizes  will  be  club  medals 
and  blue,  red  and  white  ribbons,  yellow  ribbons  for 
specials,  and  tri-color  for  winners. 

The  club  medal  this  year  is  a  new  design — a  bulldog 
head  with  the  club  initials  on  the  collar.  If  this 
token  is  a  true  talisman  it  presages  a  successful  future 
career  for  the  club. 

Specials  are  still  coming  in  and  the  outlook  for  a 
very  large  entry  list  is  most  promising.  It  is  safe  to 
say  that  a  big  string  of  Northern  dogs  will  also  be 
sent  down  to  the  local  show. 


ALL'S    WELL    THAT     ENDS    WELL. 

The  Spokane  Kennel  Club  whose  officers  (and  mem- 
bers) were  disqualified  by  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board 
for  holding  a  W.  K.  L,  show  last  year  have  been  rein- 
stated. 

The  Spokane  club  applied  for,  and  was  elected  to 
A.K.  C.  membership  on  the  7th  inst.  at  a  special 
meeting  of  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board. 

Mutual  congratulation  should  be  in  order,  for  this 
action  of  both  organizations  will  go  a  long  ways  towards 
harmonizing  Coast  doggy  affairs. 


A     HANDSOME    POSTER. 

One  of  the  most  attractive  announcements  the  San 
Francisoo  Kennel  Club  ever  issued  for  a  bench  show 
is  the  small  poster  hanger  for  the  show  next  month. 

A  brace  of  well  known  Bulldogs,  true  to  the  life  and 
in  a  catchy  pose,;is  just  illustration  enough  to  make 
one  pause  and  read  the  club  "ad"  and  also  the  minor 
"ad" — that  of  Dent's  Dog  Remedies.  If  the  medi- 
cines are  anywhere  near  as  good  as  the  idea  of  the 
enterprising  Chicago  firm,  they  are  surely  worthy  the 
attention  of  the  fancy. 


IN     THE    ORANGE    BELT. 

Matters  are  apparently  progressing  harmoniously 
down  South,  we  cull  the  following  from  the  Los 
Angeles  Express. 

Eatriesfor  the  bench  show  of  the  Southwestern 
Kennel  Club  are  coming  in  rapidly,  and  indications 
point  to  the  biggest  show  ever  held  in  Southern  Cali- 
fornia. The  show  will  open  May  17  and  continue  until 
May  20,  inclusive.  The  show  of  the  club  was  held  last 
year  at  Chutes  Park,  but  this  year  the  Increased 
benching  will  necessitate  the  use  of  the  Chutes 
pavilion  and  a  tent,  70  by  130  feet.  This  will  give  the 
patrons  a  much  better  opportunity  to  observe  the 
many  varieties  of  canines. 

The  bench  show  committee  includes  such  wellknown 
fanciers  as  W.  J.  Morris,  James  Ewinp,  W.  A.  Alder- 
son,  Richard  Thomas  and  S.  Tyler.  With  such  com- 
petent enthusiasts  to  p  rovide  for  the  comfort  of  the 
entries,  the  exhibitors  ne~d  have  no  fear  for  their 
valuable  pets.  The  show  will  be  held  under  A.  K.  C. 
rules,  the  local  club  being  now  affiliated  with  the 
national  organization. 

Old  Hall  Sylvia,  imported  by  Arthur  Letts  from 
Scotland,  will  be  on  show.  This  rare  bitch  is  in  a 
class  by  herself  entirely  distinct  from  anything  that 
ever  has  been  shown  in  California,  it  is  claimed.  She 
has  been  exhibited  throughout  Scotland  and  England, 
and  is  the  winner  of  a  dcuble  championship.  She 
comes  from  the  famous  Old  Hall  stock  and  was  bred 
by  J  M.  Hamach.  Letts  purchased  her  from  Mr. 
Agnew.  An  Edinburgh  paper  has  the  following  to 
say  of  Sylvia:  "First  prize,  Old  Hall  Sylvia,  the  best 
we  have  seen  for  some  time.  This  bitch  will  improve. 
Her.  head  is  classical,  expression  extra,  ears  carried 
good,  her  bone  is  good  and,  further,  her  front  i6  of 
the  best.     She  will  hold  her  own  among  the  best." 

Mr.  Letts  purchased  her  in  whelp  to  Ch.  Wishaw 
Leader,  a  dog  belonging  to  R.  Tait.  The  result  of 
this  mating  has  produced  six  fine,  healthy  puppies, 
about  six  months  old,  and  the  litter  gives  promise  of 
outclassing  anything  in  California. 

Ch.  Ravenswood,  another  member  of  the  Letts 
kennels  and  winner  of  numerous  prizes  on  the  coaBt 
will  be  on  exhibition.  Another  of  the  Collie  entries 
will  be  William  Kennedy's  Lady  May  III,  a  beautiful 
bitch  that  captured  a  first  prize  in  las:,  year's  show. 
She  had  a  litter  by  Ch.  Ravenswood,  all  of  which  have 
turned  out  to  be  fine  dogs.  Edgemont  Springs  Pin- 
nacle, a  one-year-old  Collie  sired  by  Wishaw  Clinker, 
is  also  among  Kennedy's  collection. 

James  Ewins  will  show  his  Bull  bitch  Wedding  Bells, 
winner  of  first  prize  at  the  last  show  Capt.  E.  V.  E, 
NeilPs  Bulldog,  The  Battler  will  also  be  shown. 


'FRISCO     SHOW     NOTES. 

As  hinted  at  in  last  week's  issue  we  find  the  non- 
iuin.iunooment  of  the  regular  prizes  and  also  of  the 
Bull  Terrier  specials  in  the  premium  list  for  the  show 


TOM    ASHTON'S    IMPRESSIONS. 

We  have  received  a  letter  from  Mr.  Tom  Ashton 
conveying  his  impressions  of  America  and  its  dogs. 
Coming  from  so  experienced  a  dog  man,  this  missive 
is  of  more  than  ordinary  interest,  since  it  was  Mr. 
Ashton's  first  visit  to  the  States.  He  says  the  weather 
was  awful,  but  he  likfs  the  American  people  very 
well,  and  has  had  a  fine  time  amongst  them.  We 
knew  they  would  fine1  Tom 

Sheffield  made 

Both  haft  and  blade. 

Tom  thinks  there  is  not  much  Terrier  in  the  Boston 
Terriers  of  America,  which,  with  a  little  more  turn-up 
and  lay  back,  would  not  make  bad  Bulldogs.  In 
Pointers  and  Setters  (Irish  particularly)  he  thinks 
America  would  be  bad  to  beat  by  England,  and  Bull 
Terriers  are  strong.  He  is  nor.  carried  away  with 
their  Cockers,  which  lack  a  good  Spaniel  head,  and 
aretoyish  rather,  suggesting  a  too  close  affinity  with 
the  Toy  Spaniel.  In  Bulldogs  there  are  a  few  of  the 
right  sort,  but  a  lot  otherwise.  Fox  Terriers  are,  he 
says,  goo'l  and  going  strong,  and  so  are  Irish  and 
Airedale. 

Mr.  Ashton  judged  at  two  shows  just  before  leaving 
New  York  by  the  (,Lucania"  on  the  25th.  He  will  be 
in  England  a  fortnight  and  then  returns  this  month, 
arriving  at  New  York  on  the  22nd,  on  his  way  to 
Portland,  Oregon,  where  he  judges  the  whole  show, 
from  thence  on  to  San  Francisco,  where  he  judges 
second  week  in  May. — Oar  Dogs.

COLLIE    JOTTINGS. 

Glen  Tana  Collies  in  changing  their  "ad"  this  week 
announce  some  bargains. 

Ch.  Glen  Tana  Bo  Peep  whelped  a  litter  of  ten 
sable  and  white  puppies  to  Ch.  Glen  Taca  Marquis. 
This  litter  should  turn  out  some  first  class  ones. 

Glen  Tana  Queen,  purchased  by  Dr.  J .  S.  Klober 
won  first  novice,  limit,  open  and  winners  and  a  hand- 
some cup  special  at  Seattle  last  week. 


The  chance  to  secure  a  thoroughbred  Bloodhound 
bitch  is  offered  in  an  "ad"  on  page  14.  Peggy  is  a 
bench  winner  and  a  good  brood  bitch  and  is  bred  on 
unexceptional  lines  She  ^as  recently  used  to  trail  a 
murderer  in  this  city — Torturici  who  it  is  believed 
carved  up  a  fellow  Sicilian  a  few  weeks  ago.  Despite 
the  fact  that  the  bitch  was  put  on  a  cold  trail — over 
cement  sidewalks  and  bitumen  streets  and  hampered 
by  a  crowd  of  some  three  thousand  morbid  specta- 
tors— she  trailed  back  twice  to  one  particular  spot  on 
the  edge  of  the  gutter  in  the  street  just  opposite  to 
the  house  in  which  the  awful  murder  took  place 
twelve  hours  previously.  The  bitch  has  shown  her 
trailing  abilities  upon  other  occasions  and  haB  also 
whelped  some  good  puppies.  By  anyone  desiring  a  fine 
Bloodhound  brood  bitch  this  opportunity  should  not 
be  passed.  

Rowdy  Girl,  the  Irish  Water  Spaniel  bitch,  sup- 
posed to  have  been  stolen  from  her  owner's  residence 
last  week  was  recovered  on  Morday.  Mr.  Bay  laid 
the  matter  before  the  police  authorities  who  took 
prompt  and  efficient  measures  to  locate  the  missing 
bitch.  A  policeman  brought  her  back  on  Monday 
evening.  She  had  been  found  out  on  the  ocean 
boulevard,  near  Carville.    All's  well  that  ends  well. 

Queen  Bess,  a  good  St.  Bernard  bitch  owned  by 
J.  Mathews  of  Oakland  has,  we  regret  to  note,  joined 
the  canine  majority. 

PASSED     AWAY    IJJ     SAN     JOSE. 

Chris  Hommricb,  a  popular  sportsman  of  San  Jose, 
passed  away  last  week.  The  deceased  was  born  in 
San  Francisco,  September  27,  1854.  In  1877  he  mar- 
ried Miss  Clara  Brown,  and  after  severing  connections 
with  Plate's  sporting  house  in  this  city,  we"nt  to  San 
Jose,  where,  for  the  last  twenty-three  years,  he  has 
occupied  the  little  store  on  Post  street  that  sportsmen 
of  that  city  were  accustomed  to  make  their  head- 
quarters. A  wide  circle  of  business  acquaintances 
will  mourn  the  loss  of  a  true  friend  and  wise  councilor, 
whose  word  was  his  bond. 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


Tomorrow  the  card  at  Ingleside  should  draw  a  rep- 
resentative gathering  of  trap  shooters — young  and 
old.  The  shoot  will  be  on  the  "old  time"  style  in  the 
main  and  some  interesting  features  will  be  put  on  by 
Edgar  L.  Porster.  The  revival  of  the  Lincoln  Gun 
Club  for  the  day  will  no  doubt  go  down  in  local  trap 
shooting  history  as  a  happy  reminiscence  of  the  "good 
old  times." 

The  Empire  Gun  Club  shoot  for  April  was  held 
April  9th.  At  this  shoot  the  second  of  the  team  shoots 
with  the  Union  Gun  Club  was  held  as  announced  last 
week.  The  Unions  won  with  a  score  of  201,  outof  300, 
against  177.  In  this  shoot  each  side  had  but  15  shoot- 
ers instead  of  IS  It  is  probable  that  another  series  of 
team  shoots  will  be  arranged  between  the  two  clubs  in 
the  near  future  A  summary  of  scores  made  in  the 
regular  club  events  follows:

hens, 21;  O'Brien,  9;  Just,  16;  Parent,  14;  Fissell,  21; 
Gruhler,  11. 

After  these  events  pool  aDd  practice  shoots  were 
indulged  in  until  a  late  hour. 


After  the  shoot  on  the  Nickell  grounds,  opposite 
Sacramento,  last  Sunday  the  following  sportsmen 
signed  a  call  to  organize  a  blue  rock  club,  the  name  of 
which  and  the  officers  thereof  will  be  determined  at  a 
future  meeting:  Lee  Hayes,  Ed  Van  Alstine,  A.  L. 
Stephen  ,  Fred  O'Brien,  H  J.  Vetter,  L.  W.  Nickell. 
H.  Stevens,  W.  H.  Hendrix,  C.  M.  Morgan,  Robert 
AnderBon,  C.  E.  Favero,  A.  M.  Just,  A.  Cunningham, 
A.  G.  Folger,  A.  J.  Conrad,  W.  W.  Mott,  Jr.,  F. 
Schoenbachler,  Ed  Fissell,  John  Morrison. 


At  the  Kimball  &  Upson  Company  tournament, 
which  will  be  held  in  Sacramento  next  month,  the 
first  day,  May  11th,  will  be  devoted  entirely  to  live 
bird  shooting,  and  the  12th  and  13th  will  be  given  over 
to  the  blue  rock  shooting. 

An  innovation  will  be  made  from  the  custom  at 
former  shoots,  in  that  entrieB  are  open  to  all.  To 
afford  the  less  skillful  shots  an  opportunity  to  win 
some  of  the  money  and  prizes,  the  contestants  will  be 
divided  into  three  classes — "expert,"  "first"  and 
"second,"  each  class  shooting  for  separate  money  and 
prizes.  

Classification  of  shooters  this  season  seems  to  be 
popular  and  working  satisfactorily,  among  others  this 
system  will  be  taken  up  tomorrow  by  the  Rocklin 
Gun  Club.  

The  lBth  Inst,  was  evidently  a  propitious  day  for 
shotgun  devotees  at  Sacramento  for  a  goodly  number 
assembled  at  the  Nickell  grounds,  near  the  American 
River  Bridge,  to  indulge  in  blue  rock  shooting.  The

Mr.  Sam  Tucker  made  his  welcome  appearance  on 
Sportsmen's  Row  one  day  this  week  The  well  known 
and  genial  representative  of  Parker  Bros,  was  a 
popular  and  widely  known  trap  shot  over  a  quarter 
of  a  century  ago  and  can  still  hold  bis  own  with  many 
of  the  top  notchers.  What  Mr.  Tucker  does  not 
know  about  shotguns  and  trap  shooting  is  not  worth 
wasting  time  on. 

The  Woodland  Gun  Club  had  a  shoot  at  the  old 
creamery  grounds  on  Sunday.  A  number  of  the 
Davisville  crack  shots  were  present  and  participated 
in  the  sport.  The  following  is  a  summary  of  scores

The  Blue  Jay  and  Its  Food. 

We  made  a  brief  reference  last  week  to  the  possi- 
bility of  a  mistake  being  generally  made  in  giving  the 
blue  jay  a  bad  reputation  for  marauding  propensities 
thai  invited  its  destruction  at  all  times.  The  bird  is 
looked  upon  by  almost  all  sportsmen  as  a  great  game 
bird  egg  destroyer.  The  following  report  by  Mr.  F. 
E  L  Beal,  Assistant  Biologist,  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture  is  worthy  the  perusal  of  all  fair-minded 
sportsmen: 

Of  the  various  birds  that  enliven  the  groves  and 
orchards,  few  are  more  conspicuous  than  the  common 
blue  jay  (Cyanocitta  cristata).  Its  loud  and  rather 
harsh  voice,  striking  colore,  and  obtrusive  actions 
attract  attention  when  other  birds  equally  abundant 
remain  unnoticed.  Au  accurate  knowledge  of  its  food 
habits  is  a  matter  of  some  importance  from  an 
economic  point  of  view,  since  the  bird  is  abundant 
and  feeds  largely  upon  grain  and  other  hard  seeds, 
although  the  proportion  supplied  by  the  farmer  s 
crops  has  never  been  accurately  determined.  It  has 
also  been  shown  that  the  jay  occasionally  preys  upon 
tne  e°-gs  or  young  of  other  birds,  and  some  observers 
have°declaredit  an  habitual  nest  robber  and  thief, 
but  theestentof  its  nest-robbing  proclivities  is  un- 
known, and  a  detailed  examination  of  its  food  is 
necessary  in  order  to  throw  more  light  on  these  points. 

The  blue  jay  is  distributed  over  the  whole  of  the 
United  States  east  of  the  Great  Plains  from  the  Gulf 
of  Mexico  to  Manitoba  and  Newfoundland  and  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  as  well.  It  remains  constant  in  form 
and  color  throughout  most  of  tnis  region,  except  in 
Florida  and  along  the  Gulf  coast,  where  a  smaller 
race(c'v.  rfncoto)  occurs.    Wbilejays 

commonly  resort  to  the  forest  to  breed,  they  do  not 
by  any  means  confine  themselves  to  the  woods,  but 
visit  orchards,  meadows,  gardens,  and  farms  in  search 
of  food.  They  remain  throughout  the  year  in  most 
parts  of  their  range,  and  their  beautiful  blue  plumage 
is  particularly  conspicuous  in  the  fall  and  winter 
months,  when  the  trees  are  partly  or  wholly  denuded 
of  foliage.  Their  saucy,  independent  airs,  sprightly 
manners  brilliant  colors  and  jaunty, plumed  caps  have 
gained  them  many  friends,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that 
their  food  habits  are  supposed  to  be  somewhat  detri- 
mental to  the  interests  of  the  farmer.  So  completely 
is  this  latter  fact  forgotten  in  the  gloom  and  naked- 
ness of  winter  that  it  is  a  common  practice  in  many 
places,  notibly  in  New  Eagland,  to  place  beds  of  chaff 
upon  the  snow  into  which  corn  is  scattered  each  day 
in  order  to  attract  the  jays.  When  the  ground  is  well 
covered  with  its  wintery  fleece,  they  may  be  seen  at 
all  hours  of  the  day  eagerly  pecking  in  the  chaff  for 
the  welcome  morsels,  and  their  presence  in  thegarden 
and  on  the  lawn  relieves  to  some  extent  the  winter 
dearth  of  bird  life. 

The  vocal  powers  of  this  bird,  while  by  no  means  to 
be  despised,  are  not  as  pleasing  as  is  its  plumage,  and 
most  of  its  notes  can  be  considered  agreeable  only  by 
association.  Jays  are  more  or  less  garrulous  all  the 
year,  but  are  particularly  noisy  at  harvest  time  when 
laying  up  a  supply  of  food  for  the  winter.  They  also 
exhibit  coosideraole  powers  of  mimicry  and  imitate 
the  notes  of  many  other  birds  with  considerable  sue 
cess.  One  which  was  kept  in  captivity  by  Mr.  Syl- 
vester D.  Judd  learned  to  pronounce  several  English 
names  distinotly,  as  wellasto  give  a  schoolboy's  yel- 
and  to  whistle  for  a  dog. 

Blue  jays  have  been  charged  with  eating  grain, 
devouring  fruit,  and  destroying  the  eggs  and  young 
of  other  birds.  It  is  also  asserted  that  they  devour 
numerous  insects,  and  thus  to  some  extent  counter- 
balance the  harm  they  do.  Many  cases  of  nest  robbing 
might  be  cited,  but  it  will  be  sufficient  to  give  a  few 
notes  of  field  observers. 

Mr.  Henry  M.  Berry,  of  Iowa  City,  Iowa,  claims  to 
have  seen  blue  jays  suck  the  contents  of  four  eggs  of 
the  wood  thrush  while  the  old  bird  was  only  a  few 
feet  distant  doing  its  best  to  drive  them  away. 

Mr.  B.  F.  Goss,  of  Pewaukee,  Wis.,  declares  that 
that  they  are  the  worst  robbers  of  all,  and  that  their 
destruction  of  the  eggs  and  young  birds  is  appalling. 

Mr.  T.  J.  Bull,  of  Hot  Sptings,  Ark.,  writes:  "While 
standing  on  the  observatory  on  Hot  Springs  Mountain, 
I  saw  beneath  me  a  pair  of  red-birds  chirping  in  great 
distress,  and  I  also  noticed  a  blue  jay  fly  away.  Upon 
looking  more  closely,  I  discovered  a  nest  with  one 
young  bird  in  it.    *  ■     In  about  half  an  hour  the 

jay  returned  to  the  nest,  picking  up  the  young  bird, 
and  flew  away  with  it." 

In  view  of  such  explicit  testimony  from  observers 
whose  accuracy  can  not  be  impeached,  special  pains 
have  been  taken  to  ascertain  how  far  the  charges  were 
sustained  by  a  study  of  the  bird 's  food .  An  examina- 
tion was  made  of  292  stomachs  collected  in  every 
month  of  the  year  from  22  states,  the  District  of 
Columbia  and  Canada. 

One  of  the  first  points  to  attract  attention  in  ex- 
amining these  stomachs  was  the  large  quantity  of 
mineral  matter,  averaging  over  14  per  cent  of  the 
total  contents.  The  real  food  is  composed  of  24  3  per 
cent  of  animal  matter  and  75  7  per  cent  of  vegetable 
matter,  or  a  trifle  more  than  three  times  as  much 
vegetable  as  animal.  The  animal  food  is  chiefly  made 
up  of  Insects,  with  a  few  spiders,  myriapods,  snails, 
and  small  vertebrates,  such  as  fish,  salamanders,  tree 
frogs,  mice,  and  birds.  Everything  was  carefully 
examined  which  might  by  any  possibility  indicate 
that  birds  or  eggs  bad  been  eaten,  but  remains  of 
birds  were  found  in  only  two,  and  tbe  shells  of  small 
blrdB'  eggs  In  three  of  the  2!(2  stomachs.  One  of 
ttaoBe,  taken  on  February  10,  contained  the  bones, 
claws,  and  a  little  skin  of  a  bird's  foot.  Another, 
taken  on  June  24,  contained  remains  of  a  young  bird. 
The  three  stomachs  with  birds'  eggs  wore  collected  in 
Juno,  August  and  October,  respectively.  The  shell 
ea'on  In  October  belonged  to  the  egg  of  some  larger 
bl.  d  like  the  rutted  grouse,  and  considering  the  time 
o'  year,  was  undoubtedly  merely  an  empty  shell  from 


an  old  nest.  Shells  of  eggs  which  were  identified  as 
those  of  domesticated  fowls,  or  some  bird  of  equal 
size,  were  found  in  eleven  stomachs,  collected  at 
irregular  timesduring  the  year.  This  evidence  would 
seem  to  show  that  more  eggs  of  domesticated  fowls 
than  of  wild  birds  are  destroyed,  but  it  is  much  more 
probable  that  these  shells  were  obtained  from  refuse 
heaps  about  farmhouses. 

To  reconcile  such  contradictory  evidence  is  cer- 
tainly difficult,  but  it  seems  evident  that  these  nest- 
robbing  propensities  are  not  as  general  as  has  been 
heretofore  supposed.  If  this  habit  were  as  prevalent 
as  some  writers  have  asserted,  and  if  it  were  true 
that  eggs  and  young  of  smaller  birds  constitute  the 
chief  food  of  the  blue  jay  during  the  breeding  season, 
the  small  birds  of  any  section  where  jays  are  fairly 
abundant  would  be  in  danger  of  extermination. 

The  ease  with  which  a  bird's  actions  may  be  mis- 
interpreted is  well  illustrated  by  the  case  of  a  stomach 
which  was  received  with  the  legend  "Eating  robins' 
eggs,  "but  which,  upon  rigid  examination,  failed  to 
reveal  even  a  minute  trace  of  an  egg.  It  is,  of  course, 
possible  for  a  bird  to  eat  an  egg  without  swallowing 
any  portion  of  the  shell,  in  which  case  the  soft  con- 
tents would  soon  disappear  from  the  stomach,  but  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  such  substances  as  dead  leaves, 
bits  of  plant  stems,  and  rotten  wood,  which  are  evi- 
dently swallowed  accidentally  with  insects  or  other 
food,  are  constantly  found  in  bird's  stomachs,  it  does 
not  seem  probable  that  blue  jays  would  discriminate 
against  eggshells.  To  test  this  matter,  four  eggs  of 
the  English  sparrow  were  offered  to  a  jay  in  captivity. 
The  bird  at  once  seized  the  eggs  and  began  to  eat 
them,  but  when  any  piece  of  the  shell,  no  matter  how 
minute,  was  accidentally  dropped  it  was  at  once 
picked  up  and  swallowed,  and  several  such  pieces 
that  were  thrown  to  the  farther  end  of  the  cage  were 
also  eaten,  so  that  the  shells  with  their  membranes 
were  entirely  gone  before  the  soft  contents. 

Besides  birds,  remains  of  small  vertebrates  were 
found  in  twelve  stomachs,  as  follows:  Fish  and  sala- 
manders in  one  stomach  each,  tree  frogs  in  four,  mice 
in  five,  and  a  shrew  in  one.  Jt  is  perhaps  worthy  of 
note  that  Dr.  B  H.  Warren  failed  to  find  a  trace  of 
any  vertebrate  remains  in  examining  twenty -three 
stomachs  of  the  blue  jay,  fourteen  of  which  were 
collected  in  May,  one  in  June,  three  in  September, 
and  five  in  October.  (Birds  of  Pennsylvania,  pp. 
200-201.) 

The  jay  kept  in  captivity  by  Mr.  Judd  showed  a 
marked  fondness  for  mice,  and  would  devour  them 
apparently  with  great  relish.  Another  bird  ate  only 
a  portion  of  dead  mice  and  refused  to  touch  live  mice, 
preferring  insects  when  it  had  an  opportunity  for 
choice. 

Insects  are  eaten  by  blue  jays  in  every  month  in  the 
year,  but  naturally  only  in  small  quantities  during  the 
winter.  The  grtat  bulk  of  the  insect  food  consists  of 
beetles,  grasshoppers  and  caterpillars,  with  a  few 
bugs,  wasps,  and  flies,  and  an  occasional  spider  and 
myriapod.  The  average  for  tbe  whole  year  is  nearly 
23  per  cent,  varying  from  less  than  1  per  cent  in 
January  to  over  66  per  cent  in  August,  and  gradually 
diminishing  to  3.2  per  cent  in  December.  There  is  a 
remarkable  increase  in  the  quantities  eaten  in  spring 
and  summer,  the  percentage  increasing  from  28  in 
May  to  44  in  June,  and  from  46  in  July  to  66.3  in 
August. 

The  molting  season  may  account  for  tbe  increase 
in  August,  but  that  in  June  is  not  so  easily  explained. 
The  beetles  found  in  the  stomachs  may  be  roughly 
divided  into  three  groups:  Predaceous  beetles  (Cara- 
bids);  those  belonging  to  the  May  beetle  family 
(SearabaE'ids);  and  miscellaneous  beetles,  including 
about  half  a  dozen  families.  Each  of  these  groups 
forms  a  little  more  than  3J  per  cent  of  the  food.  The 
greatest  number  of  predaceous  beetles  were  eaten  in 
July,  when  they  aggregated  10.25  per  cent  of  the  food 
of  the  month.  The  Carabids  belong  for  the  most 
part  to  genera  with  blunt  jaws,  such  as  Sa.rpa.lus, 
Cratacanthus,  and  Stenolophua:  only  a  few  specimens 
with  sharp  jaws  like  Pasimachus,  Galerita,  and 
Calosoma  were  found,  and  it  is  probable  that  no  great 
barm  is  done  by  the  destruction  of  these  beetles,  as 
they  are  not  entirely  carnivorous  and  are  therefore 
less  useful,  and  the  individuals  are  abundant. 

Scarabsgids  reach  their  maximum  abundance  in  the 
jay's  food  in  August  (11.8  per  cent),  although  nearly 
as  many  (1 1  par  cent)  were  eaten  in  June.  They  were 
mostly  represented  by  the  larger  species,  such  as  the 
goldsmith  beetle (Cotalpu  lanigera),  thespotted  grape- 
vine beetle  (PeUdnota  punctata),  the  brilliant  tumble- 
bug  (Phanaus  camifex),  with  many  May  beetles 
I  Laxhnoitcrna),  and  quite  a  large  number  of  fruit 
eating  beetles  {Euphoria,  inda  and  E.  fulgida).  At 
least  five  specimens  of  Euphoria  inda  were  found  in 
one  stomach,  amounting  to  75  per  cent  of  the  whole 
food  contents.  It  iB  worthy  of  notice  that  one  stomach 
contained  a  nearly  perfect  specimen  of  the  grapevine 
beetle  and  also  the  seeds  and  skins  of  the  wild  "grape 
(  Vitis  corctifolia),  and  it  seems  probable  that  the  bird 
visited  the  vine  to  feed  upon  the  grapes,  but  finding 
the  beetle  swallowed  that  also.  Beetles  belonging  to 
other  families  aggregate  16.3  per  cent  in  June, 
the  most  important  being  a  few  leaf-eating  beetles 
(Chrysomelida:-),  some  click  beetles  (Elateridae),  and  a 
number  of  curculios  (Curculionida?).  A  dozen  curcu- 
lios,  belonging  to  the  genus  Balaninus,  were  found  in 
a  single  stomach,  and  three  in  another.  As  these 
beetles  live  on  acorns  and  other  nuts,  it  seems  probable 
that  the  birds  devoured  them  when  looking  for  their 
favotite  food,  mast. 

Grasshoppers,  crickets  and  locusts  form  about  4  4 
per  cent  of  the  food;  but  they  do  not  become  an  im 
portant  element  until  July,  They  attain  their  maxi- 
mum of  19.5  per  cent  in  August,  and  continue  in  con- 
siderable numbers  until  December.  If  June  can  be 
called  the  beetle  month  in  the  dietary  of  the  jay, 
August  is  the  grasshopper  month;  and  birds  that  eat 
these  insects  at  all  eat  the  greatest  quantity  at  this 
time.  Many  birds  that  live  during  the  rest  of  tbe 
year  on  food  obtained  from  trees  or  shrubs  come  to 
the  ground  and  feed   upon   grasshoppers  in   August.

The  Indoor  Shooting  Tournament,  one  of  the 
notable  and  suecasful  features  of  the  recent  exhibition 
of  the  Pacific  Coast  Forest, Fish  and  Game  Association 
was  marked  by  phenominal  scores  and  records  made 
by  expert  pistol  shots  from  various  parts  of  the 
country.  A  feature  of  this  wonderful  shooting  was 
the  fact  that  all  the  winners  without  exception  used 
U.  M.  C.  ammunition  exclusively,  gaining  18  of  the 
19  prizes.  This  apparently  simple  statement  being 
a  matter  of  record  and  fact,  carries  with  it  a  recom- 
mendation of  this  famous  ammunition  which  is  uncon- 
trovertible, and  emphasizes  in  a  most  unqualified

U.    M.    C.    AGAIN    AT    THE    FRONT. 

The  Union  Gun  Club  held  its  second  regular  meet- 
ing at  Ingleside  on  Sunday  April  15,  1905.  The  meet- 
ing was  marked  by  a  large  attendance,  43  shooters 
being  present,  proving  the  popularity  and  permanent 
interest  in  blue  rock  shooting. 

The  club  contains  a  most  enthusiastic  membership, 
marked  by  genuine  good  fellowship,  and  is  one  of  the 
strongest  Pacific  Coast  organizations.  Of  the  43  con- 
testants, 34  were  users  of  U.  M.  C.  "Magic,"  "Majestic" 
"Acme"  and  "Monarch"  shells,  again  demonstrating 
the  confidence  and  security  which  shooters  feel  in 
using  this  accurate  and  reliable  ammunition.  This 
feeling  of  confidence  and  security  exists  widely  and 
l.as  other  than  local  character,  and  the  almost  ex- 
clusive UBe  of  U.  M.  C.  goods  in  various  meets  for  trap 
and  all  tournament  shooting  has  became  an  established 
fact. 

The  following  shooters  were  winners  of  prizes  in 
various  classes:  In  champion  class,  Messrs.  Holling, 
Forster  and  Feudner,  all  using  U.  M.  C.  shells.  In 
first  class,  Messrs.  "Slade,"  Daniels,  Swales  and  Fish, 
all  using  U.  M.  C.  ammunition  In  second  class, 
Messrs.  O  Fisher  and  J.  Pisani,  each  used  U.  M.  C. 
shells.  In  third  class,  Messrs.  Patrick  and  Finnie, 
each  used  U.  M.  C.  shells. 

Straight  runs  of  25  were  made  by  A.  J.  Webb  and 
C.  D.  Goepel,  a  guest.  Mr.  Goepel  is  a  sportsman 
from  the  North  now  located  here,  and  will  undoubt- 
edly prove  to  be  a  candidate  for  high  honors  in  meet- 
ing the  crack  Eastern  shots,  who  will  compete  in  the 
coming  tournament  to  be  held  in  San  Francisco  in 
September.  Mr.  Emil  Holling  with  the  invincible 
combination  of  Remington  shotgun  and  U.  M.  C. 
cartridges,  was  high  average  at  this  meeting. 

WINCHESTER     ON     TOP. 

The  indoor  rifle  and  pistol  tournament  that  was 
held  at  the  Mechanics  Pavilion  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  Forest,  Fish  and  Game  Association, 
from  April  1st  to  15th,  was  productive  of  some  of  the 
most  brilliant  indoor  shooting  ever  recorded  on  this 
Coast.  Mr.  George  Tammejer,  shooting  a  Winches- 
ter single  shot  rifle  and  Winchester  make  .22  long 
rifle  ammunition,  carried  off  the  premier  honors  of 
the  tournament,  having  made  twenty-five  possibles, 
or  2500  out  of  the  possible  2500,  during  the  tourna- 
ment. Of  the  sixty-eight  possible's  made  during  the 
shoot,  forty-nine  were  made  with  Winchester  make  of 
ammunition.  The  following  named  gentlemen  had 
the  honor  of  making  perfect  scores,  100  out  of  the 
possible  100  with  Winchester  make  of  ammunition: 
George  Tammeyer,  D.  W.  King,  Jr.,  Martin  Blasse, 
W.  F.  Blasse,  A.  H.  Pape,  O.  A.  Bremer,    A.    Studer, 

E.  Hammond,  Chris  Meyer  and  W.  G  Hoffman.  The 
above  is  the  most  persuasive  proof  that  Winchester 
make  of  ammunition  that  shoots  where  you  aim, 
therefore— if  you  wish  to  obtain  the  very  best  results, 
insist  upon  getting  the  Winchester  make  of  ammu- 
nition, the  kind  champions  shoot.

THE   FARM. 


The  Richness  of  the  Guernsey. 


The  great  and  distinguishing  character- 
istics of  the  Guernsey  co  is  the  richness 
of  the  animal.  She  was  known  years  ago 
as  the  "Farmer's  Yellow  Cow."  The 
Guernsey  the  world  over  has  the  rich 
yellow  skin  which  old  time  dairy  people 
always  said  indicated  a  good   butter  cow. 

In  the  standard  of  escell  nee  which  has 
been  adopted  for  t  e  breed  it  is  distinctly 
stated  that  the  Guernsey  is  regarded  as  a 
dairy  cow,  first  and  foremost.  As  a  dairy 
cow  we  believe  her  great  and  distinguish- 
ing feature  is  her  ability  to  produ  e  most 
economically,  milk  and  butter  of  the 
highest  natural  color. 

It  is  this  natural  color  of  the  product 
that  sells  tbem.  That  is  what  attracted 
attention  to  the  breed  by  those  men  who 
first  introduced  it  into  this  country. 
When  the  Fowlers,  in  1870,  brought  the 
first  Guernsey  to  this  country  to  be  offered 
at  auction,  it  was  the  intense  golden 
yellow  of  her  skin  that  called  her  promi- 
nently to  the  attention  of  the  public  It 
Beemed  a  remarkable  and  a  desirable 
feature  of  a  dairy  cow. 

When  a  herd  was  introduced  into 
Massachusetts  the  coming  year  and  butter 
made  from  same  exhibited  before  the 
Massachusetts  Society  for  the  Promotion 
of  Agriculture,  it  seemed  incredulous  that 
a  class  of  cows  could  give  milk  from  which 
such  rich  golden  colored  butter  could  be 
gathered  without  the  addition  of  artificial 
color.  So  impressed  with  this  fact  were 
many  members  of  this  society  that  an 
importation  of  the  breed  was  made  by 
them. 

Gentlemen  with  private  dairies  sought 
for  the  natural  color.  They  were  enticed 
by  the  yellow  butter  as  placed  on  their 
tables,  or  pleased  with  the  rich  appear- 
ance of  the  milk  and  cream  as  placed 
before  them  in  the  glass. 

Now  this  distinguishing  quality  has 
received  wider  recognition  and  the  breed 
in  public  tests  has  been  given  its  just 
reward.  A  critical  and  fancy  trade  has 
determined  and  appreciated  the  fact  that 
accompanying  this  natural  color  is  an 
especially  desirable  flavor. 

It  is  not  the  animal  whose  products  are 
artificially  colored,  but  the  one  who  can 
give  the  highest  natural  color  that  should 
receive  the  reward.  It  is  not  the  cow 
who  with  these  qualities  that  give  a 
reasonable  amount  of  milk  and  butter  fat 
of  good  color,  and  produce  a  fine,  healthy 
calf  each  year,  that  we  wish  to  breed 
from.  The  use  of  young  and  immature 
bulls  is  deplorable.  What  we  want  are 
those  who  have  proven  themselves  as 
sires  and  are  from  parents  extra  rich  in 
skin  color,  and  whose  dams  and  sire's 
dams  have  perfect  udders.  Such  an 
animal's  worth  is  beyond  price  and  their 
advent  should  be  heralded  with  delight 
both  in  the  breeding  pen  and  in  t  e  show 
ring 

It  is  especially  gratifying  to  notice  how 
they  are  received  in  the  sections  where 
they  have  been  introduced.  Go  into  New 
England,  down  the  Hudson  in  New  York, 
into  Eastern  Pennsylvania,  Delaware, 
New  Jersey  and  Wisconsin,  and  you  find 
not  onlv  fine  herds  of  thoroughbreds,  but 
you  will  notice  that  the  dairymen  of  those 
sections  Have  been  impressed  with  their 
substantial,  business  like  appearance  and 
golden  icolored  products,  and  have  been 
drawing  on  the  breed  for  the  grading  up 
and  improving  the  dairy  stock  of  their 
section.  William  H.  Caldwell. 


Charles  N.  Bair  of  Billings,  Montana, 
one  of  the  largeBt  individual  sheep  owners 
in  the  world,  has  sold  his  entire  clip  of 
wool  in  advance  before  shearing  to  a 
Boston  firm  for  22J4  cents  a  pound.  The 
clip  is  estimated  at  S00.0OO  pounds.  Some 
of  his  neighbors  were  not  so  fortunate  and 
have  been  contracting  to  deliver  wool  at 
sixteen  cents  the  pound. 


Buzzards  on  the  Black  List. 


Dr.  Charles  Keane,  State  Veterinarian, 
classes  the  buzzards  among  agents  de- 
structive to  cattle  and  maintains  that 
there  Bhould  be  no  legislation  preventing 
destruction  of  the  carrion  bird  of  Cali- 
fornia. Under  the  impression  that  there 
was  a  State  law  protecting  the  buzzard, 
Dr.  Keane  had  started  to  prepare  a  bill 
for  its  repeal,  but  found  that  the  various 
counties  regulated  the  matter  to  conform 
to  their  own  ideas. 

Dr.  Keane  said:  "In  my  opinion,  the 
buzzard  is  extremely  harmful  to  the 
cattle  interests  because  it  acts  as  a  con- 
veyor of  disease,  particularly  of  anthrax 
and  blackleg.  The  good  they  accomplish 
is  of  such  primitive  character  and  so  in- 
significant compared  to  the  harm,  that 
the  species  may  be  said  to  have  outlived 
its  usefulness. 

"Buzzards  which  feed  upon  carcasses  of 
animals  that  have  died  of  anthrax  or 
blackleg  are  almost  certain  to  convey  the 
disease  to  one  or  more  ranches  or  farms 
adjoining.  Like  other  scavengers,  they 
are  not  themselves  susceptible  to  the  com- 
plaints they  carry.  Hog  cholera  is  another 
contagion  they  have  spread 

"In  certain  out  of  the  way  cases,  where 
stock  die  of  sporadic  complaints,  the  buz- 
zard may  do  some  good,  a  few  years  ago, 
when  cattlemen  were  glad  of  any  assis- 
tance in  keeping  their  ranges  free  from 
rotting  carcasses,  the  buzzard  was  of  some 
use.  Now,  however,  sanitary  measures  for 
the  protection  of  cattle  are  compulsory, 
and  all  carcasses  must  be  burned  or 
buried,  so  that  buzzard  has  little  oppor- 
tunity of  being  of  value. 

Dehorning  Cattle. 


Tne  horns  of  cattle  consiBt  of  two  parts 
of  different  origin.  The  outer  horny 
shell  is  a  growth  derived  from  the  Bkin 
while  the  inner  part  or  pith  consists  of 
bone  end  is  an  outgrowth  of  the  skull. 
At  the  birth  of  a  calf  earh  of  these  parts  is 
undeveloped  and  only  exists  as  a  possi- 
bility Dut  they  at  once  begin  to  g.-ow  and 
in  a  short  time  the  young  horn  can  be 
felt  as  a  slight  elevation  or  button.  The 
born  tissue  develops  from  the  skin  just  as 
do  hoofs  and  claws  in  the  lower  animals 
and  nails  in  human  beings.  A  zone  in 
the  skin  about  the  base  of  the  horn  is 
known  as  the  matrix,  from  which  new 
horn-cells  are  constantly  forming,  the 
older  parts  being  pushed  on.  If  we 
destroy  the  periosteum  from  which  the 
bony  part  of  the  horn  is  formed  and  the 
matrix  from  which  the  bony  part  springs 
we  prevent  further  development  of  the 
horn.  In  removing  horns  which  are  al- 
ready more  or  less  developed,  as  in  de- 
horning mature  animals,  the  cut  must  be 
made  deep  enough  to  include  the  matrix 
or  the  stump  or  the  horn  will  continue  to 
grow.  There  is  no  danger  of  cutting  into 
the  brain  cavity,  as  at  this  point  it  lies 
very  deeply.  The  openings  frequently 
seen  on  removing  the  horns  are  only 
empty  spaces  with  which  the  frontal  bone 
is  honeycombed. 


Both  Breeds  are  Good. 


A  farmer  argues  that  the  dairy  breed 
controversy  simmers  down  to  a  question 
of  individual  cows.  Some  Holstein- 
Friesian  cows  give  milk  containing  only 
two  per  cent  butter  fat  while  others  give 
milk  containing  five  per  cent  and  above 
but  the  average  fat  content  of  a  great 
many  tested  cows  is  close  to  3.6  per  cent, 
the  standard  of  all  breeds  and  classes 
being  about  3.8.  On  the  other  hand 
Jersey  cows  are  found  which  give  as  low 
as  three  per  cent  of  butter  fat  and  only  a 
few  of  them,  when  in  full  flow  of  milk, 
give  over  five  per  cent.  No  one  has 
claimed  that  the  Jersey  doeB  not  put  fat 
enough  into  her  milk  for  she  does  this. 
The  valid  or  even  necessary  objection  to 
the  breed  is  that  a  vast  lot  of  them  are 
ten  pound  a  day  cowb  Which  is  worse — 
a  ten  pound  a  day  cow  in  full  flush,  giving 
six  per  cent  milk,  or  a  thirtv  pound  a  day 
cow  giving  two  per  cent  milk?  Both  are 
star  boarders,  but  the  latter  is  better 
than  the  former  inasmuch  as  there  is  at 
least  some  pig  or  calf  feed  in  her  product.

How  Disease  is  Spread. 

The  inspection  work  of  the  depart- 
ment of  agriculture  at  the  various  pork 
packing  centers  of  the  country  reveals 
some  rather  disturbing  features,  says 
Hoard's  Dairyman.  It  is  shown  that 
there  has  been  a  remarkable  increase  in 
the  number  of  hogs  that  are  found 
tuberculous  in  the  last  three  years. 
Three  vears  ago  the  number  was  4U0U. 
Lan  year  the  number  had  increased  to 
14  000  But  what  Hoard's  Dairyman 
wishes  to  call  especial  attention  to  is 
the  fact  that  90  per  cent  of  these  tuber- 
culous hogs  are  said  to  come  from  the 
dairy  districts.  How  did  they  get  this 
disease'  .. 

The  answer  is,  By  feeding  on  skim 
milk  from  tuberculous  cows.  Every 
hog  found  thus  diseased  is  almost  a  dead 
loss  to  the  packer. 

Already,  we  understand,  the  packers 
are  moving  to  force  a  very  unfavorable 
discrimination  against  hogs  coming  from 
dairy  districts.  The  hog  is  a  very  im- 
portant adjunct  to  the  dairy  farmers, 
and  it  will  nit  them  hard  if  their  hogs 
are  discriminated  against.  Here  is  an- 
other solid  reason  why  dairy  farmers' 
should  at  once  set  to  work  to  have  their 
herds  tested  with  tuberculin.  If  the 
farmers  will  test  their  cows  and  get  rid 
of  the  diseased  members  of  the  herd  they 
will  have  the  satisfaction  of  knowing 
that  they  are  not  spreading  the  disease 
among  their  own  cattle  and  hogs  and 
that  the  milk  is  healthy  and  wholesome 
for  both  human  beings  and  farm  animals. 
This  is  also  another  argument  for  the 
use  of  the  farm  separator.  Where  a 
man  separates  his  own  milk  on  the  farm 
he  is  not  feeding  diseased  milk  from  his 
neighbors'  cows— neither  is  he  poisoning 
the  bogs  or  calves  of  his  neighbors  in 
case  his  own  cows  are  diseased. 

Looked  at  from  any  standpoint,  it 
seems  to  us  to  he  the  highest  wisdom  for 
every  dairyman  to  tuberculin  test  his 
herd  at  least  once  a  year.  With  this 
disease  it  is  also  absolutely  necessary  to 
be  certain  of  the  soundness  of  every  cow 
or  young  animal  that  comes  into  the 
herd,  or  else  the  guardian  work  of  years 
may  be  destroyed  by  one  case  of  care- 
lessness. 

Money  in  Hogs. 

There  hae  been  a  Bharp  advance 
recently  in  pork  and  pork  products. 
Ham,  bacon  and  lard  have  gone  up  con- 
siderably in  price  and  there  is  a  rosy 
prospect  ahead  for  the  farmer  with  a  well 
tilled  sty. 

J.  W.  Dowdell,  Manager  oi  the  Western 
Meat  Company's  office  in  Sacramento 
says:  "Such  a  demand  as  exists  at  this 
time  should  be  encouraging  to  the  pork- 
xing  sections  of  the  State.  Practi- 
cally all  the  pork  raised  here  is  consumed 
fresh,  and  this  is  but  one-third  of  the 
total  necessary  to  gratify  the  California 
taste  for  pork.  The  amount  of  smoked 
goods  consumed  is  twice  as  great,  and 
nearly  all  of  this  product  comes  from  the 
Kast. 

"For  the  first  time  in  five  years  there  is 
abundance  of  bee  and  mutton.  We  shall 
have  en  ,unh  cattle  and  ebeep  lo  supply 
all  the  California  demand  and  we  shall  be 
able  to  export  to  Honolulu  ami  the 
l'tnlippines.  The  supply  of  No.  1  beef 
and  mutton  should  be  plentiful  through- 
' lie  season. 
"An  abundance  of  feed  and  ideal  con- 
ditions for  the  cattle  raiser  may  be  men- 
tioned as  responsible  for  thiB  era  ol  plenty. 

n  former  years  it  has  been   necessary  to 
draw  on  Arizona,  Texas  and 
cattle,  but  this  season  California  will  have 
:m  excess."

Want  to  Raise  the  Quarantine. 


Cattlemen  in  tboge  counties  against 
which  a  quarantine  on  account  of  Texas 
fever  was  proclaimed  several  months  ago 
are  showiug  a  disposition  to  make  its 
duration  as  sliort  as  possible.  State 
Veterinarian  Keane  has  just  returned 
from  Santa  Barbara,  where  he  attended  a 
meeting  of  the  Stockmen's  Association 
As  a  result  of  the  conference  and  special 
inspections  made  in  that  county  Dr. 
Keane  hopes  to  be  able  to  raise  the  re- 
strictions in  part  which  are  now  placed 
on  the  shipment  of  cattle  from  the  whole 
country. 

The  boundaries  of  the  quarantined  dis 
trict  have  not  been  changed. 

Cattle  from  the  counties  of  Kern, Tulare,  I 
San  Luis  Obispo,  Madera,  Merced,  Fresno 
and  Kings  can  be  moved  to  points  outside 
of  the  quarantined  area  after  inspection 
and  upon  written  permission  by  a  State 
or  Federal  Inspector. 

Cattle  from  other  parts  of  the  quaran- 
tined area  cannot  be  moved  into  any  of  I 
the  above  mentioned  counties,  or  to  any 
part  of  the  territory  lying  outside  of  the 
quarantined  district.  This  district  in- 
cludes Santa  Barbara,  Kern,  San  Bernar- 
dino, Ventura,  Los  Angeles,  Orange, 
Riverside  and  San  Diego  counties. 

Owing  to  the  vigilance  of  stockmen  in 
guarding  against  the  plague  of  Texas 
[ever  and  in  using  all  known  remedies 
for  destroying  the  ticks  which  spread  the 
disease,  many  counties  are  making  head 
way  in  cleaning  up  their  herds,  so  that 
the  quarantine  will  not   much   longer   be 


necessary.  Dr.  Keane  states  that  Merced 
county  is  at  present  free  from  fever  ticks, 
but  the  quarantine  cannot  be  raised. 
Madera  county  is  also  free  along  her 
northern  boundary.  Parts  of  San  Luis 
Obispo  and  Santa  Barbara  are  also  un- 
affected by  the  disease. 

Cattle  destined  for  immediate  slaughter 
can  be  moved  from  the  quarantined  dis- 
trict to  any  part  of  the  United  States, 
The  cars  in  which  these  cattle  are  loaded 
are  placarded  stating  that  the  cattle  are 
southern  cattle,  and  when  the  stock 
arrives  at  its  destination  it  is  immediately 
slaughtered  and  the  carB  thoroughly 
cleaned  and  disinfected.  On  the  route  of 
travel  there  aie  pens  set  aside  lfor  these 
southern  cattle,  into  which  no  other 
cattle  are  allowed,  thus  obviating  any 
danger  of  spreading  the  infection  to 
healthy  stock.— Sacramento  Union.

the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecting  that  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKtnney.  Director.  Direct  and

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU    ABE.    BEAD    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  in  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  nest  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks — a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  wg  imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  in  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  clean  in  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  black  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
1050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  is  much  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  first-class  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  endurance.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds.  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as  "fine  as  peaohes,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  olean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  thn  brightest  prospeot  for  good  crops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  seleot  from. 

C.  F.  Singmaster,  the  senior  membsr  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
is  proud  to  say  we  havehad  extremely  good  success  in  making  sales.  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales,  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expect  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stock  of  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  discount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

STALLIONS     ADVERTISED. 


Los  Angeles  association  and  the  State  Fair,  together 
with  the  Breeders  August  meeting  and  three  or  four 
others  certain  to  be  given,  has  aroused  great  interest 
in  harness  horse  affairs  on  the  Coast  and  the  prospects 
are  for  the  best  circuit  in  years.  Never  has  there 
been  a  better  outlook  for  big  crops  of  hay,  grain  and 
all  kinds  of  fruit  and  vegetables  in  California  fields, 
orchards  and  gardens,  and  1905  will,  unless  something 
unforeseen  happens,  be  one  of  the  most  prosperous 
years  in  the  annals  of  the  State's  history.  It  will  be 
a  good  season  to  race  your  horses  and  if  they  win  and 
make  good  records  the  chances  of  sailing  them  at  high 
figures  will  be  excellent.  Enter  in  as  many  of  the 
classes  at  the  Breeders  meeting  as  you  possibly  can 
and  then  get  in  shape  to  win  a  part  of  that  $14,500 
which  is  hung  up.  Remember  entries  close  next 
Monday.

THE  FIRST  BOOK  OF  FARMING  is  the  title  of 
*  a  book  of  250  pages  just  issued  from  the  press  of 
Doubleday,  Page  &  Co.,  of  New  York.  The  author  is 
Charles  L.  Goodrich,  farmer,  and  formerly  instructor 
in  agriculture  at  the  Hampton  Agricultural  Institute, 
Virginia,  who  has  written  every  chapter  in  a  style 
that  is  not  only  entertaining,  but  can  be  readily 
understood  by  anyone  who  can  read  English.  The 
general  principles  underlying  plant  culture  are  first 
treated,  then  come  chapters  on  soils,  relation  of  soils 
to  water,  forms  of  soil  water,  loss  of  soil  water,  =oil 
temptrature,  plant  food,  seed  planting,  spading  and 
plowing,  harrowing  and  rolling,  farm  manures,  com- 
mercial fertilizers,  rotation  of  crops,  farm  drainage, 
etc.  There  are  nearly  a  hundred  illustrations  in  the 
book,  each  of  which  has  a  practical  instructive  value. 
Numerous  experiments  that  can  be  tried  by  anyone 
are  described  by  which  soils  and  seeds  can  be  tested. 
We  do  not  know  of  a  work  that  contains  so  much  of 
practical  value  to  the  farmer  be  he  a  novice  or  a 
veteran  tiller  of  the  soil.    The  price  is  only  $1. 


J.  W.  Cheney,  Colusa,  Cal.— There  are  quite  a 
number  of  mares  by  the  name  Luella  registered  in 
the  American  Trotting  Register  and  also  several  by 
that  name  registered  in  the  American  Stud  Book, 
which  is  toe  registration  book  for  thoroughbreds,  but 
none  that  answer  the  description  you  give  of  this 
mare.  Perhaps  you  might  learn  something  about 
her  from  Monroe  Salisbury  if  he  owned  her  at  one 
time.  His  address  will  be  Pleasanton  for  a  short  time, 
as  he  will  soon  go  East  with  the  East  View  Farm 
horses. 

Geo.  Flickentsein,  McKinleyville— There  is  no 
mare  registered  by  the  name  of  Belle  Fallis,  ud  to  the 
close  of  Vol.  16,  which  was  printed  in  1904. 


E.  A.  Gammon,  Courtland — We  have  no  record  of 
the  breeding  of  a  horse  by  tbe  name  of  Frank  Morrel. 
He  is  not  registered  and  is  not  mentioned  in  any  of 
ttie  Valensin  catalogues  in  our  possession. 


BEE  FARMING  is  one  of  the  favorite  industries  in 
the  hili  and  mountain  regions  of  California,  and 
can  be  followed  profitably  almost  anywhere  if  there  is 
pasturage  for  the  honey  makers  suitable  to  produce 
good  sweet  honey.  A  voluminous  volume  of  500  pages 
called  the  A  B  C  of  Bee  Culture  has  recently  been 
revised  and  reprinted  by  the  A.I.  Root  Co.  of  Medina, 
Ohio.  It  is  a  cyclopaedia  of  everything  pertaining  to 
the  care  of  the  honey  bee,  and  is  compiled  from  facts 
gleaned  from  the  experience  of  bee  keepers  all  over 
the  land.     The  book  is  profusely  illustrated. 


READVILLE  PURSES  filled  especially  well. 
They  were  advertised  to  be  under  the  three  in 
five  system.  DoeB  it  not  seem  strange  that  the  old 
system  is  so  popular  in  spite  of  all  the  newspaper  talk 
about  it.  The  truth  is  the  horeemen  who  put  up  the 
entrance  money  that  makes  big  purses  possible  like 
the  three  in  five  plan  better  tban  any  other,  as  there 
are  more  chances  to  win. 


ENTRIES  CLOSE  MONDAY  NEXT,  the  first  day 
of  May,  for  the  big  stakes  and  purses  offered  by 
the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Associa- 
tion for  its  meeting  to  be  held  during  August  next. 
This  will  be  one  of  the  greatest  harness  meetings  held 
on  the  Coast  this  year,  the  colt  stakes  to  be  decided, 
being  great  attractions  in  themselves.  The  largest 
stake  offered  on  the  Coast  for  class  trotters  is  the 
$2000  California  Stake  for  horses  of  the  2:24  class. 
This  stake  has  been  a  great  success  since  its  inaugura- 
tion three  years  ago, and  resulted  in  one  of  the  greatest 
contests  seen  on  the  Coast  last  season,  when  Moroseo 
won  it  after  H.  D.  B.  and  Una  K.  had  each  taken  a 
heat.  As  $1000  of  the  money  goes  to  the  first  horse  it 
is  a  stake  worth  entering  in,  and  as  it  is  for  horses  of  the 
2:24  class,  all  the  fast  trotters  of  previous  years  are 
barred.  The  Pacific  Slope  Stake  for  2:20  class  pacers 
value  $1500,  is  another  good  stake  that  alwaysarouses 
great  interest.  Last  year  Rajah,  a  son  of  Charles 
Derby  captured  it,  distancing  four  good  horses  in  the 
first  heat, and  making  the  race  in  threestra'ght  heats. 
In  addition  to  those  stakes,  $800  purses  are  offered  for 
the  2:27,  2:17  and  2:13  class  trotters,  and  2:17,  2:13  and 
2:09  class  pacers.  The  stakes  of  the  Pacific  Breeders 
Futurity  are  getting  to  be  the  features  of  the  annual 
meetings.  This  year  the  three-year-old  trotters  will 
contest  for  $2300  and  the  three-year  old  pacers  for 
$1300.  The  two-year-old  trotters  have  $1450  to  divide 
amopg  them,  and  the  two-year-old  pacers  $950.  There 
are  many  high  class  colts  and  fillies  now  in  training 
for  these  events  and  it  is  possible  but  hardly  probable 
that  the  records  of  last  year's  contests  may  be  beaten, 
as  they  were  fast  races.  Those  who  have  horses  in 
training  for  the  California  Circuit  this  year  should 
remember  that  while  the  entrance  fee  to  the  class 
races  is  five  per  cent,  it  only  costs  two  per  cent  to 
name  a  horse  on  May  1st,  and  if  he  goes  wrong  before 
June  1st,  he  can  be  declared  out  without  additional 
cost.    The  announcement  of  the  big  program  of  the 


THE  FELLOW  who  hit  the  front  page  of  last 
week's  Kentucky  Stock  Farm  with  a  hard  boiled 
egg  that  he  had  dipped  in  green  paint  should  be  ap- 
prehended before  he  gets  out  of  Kentucky,  and  placed 
in  solitary  confinement. 


Information  Wanted. 


San  Francisco,  April  25th,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman:— With  your 
permission  I  would  like  to  inquire  of  your  readers  as 
to  the  whereabouts  of  the  following  named  gentle- 
men, Mr  G.  Lacey  and  Messrs.  Murray  and  Jewell. 
The  two  last-named  gentlemen  were  at  one  time 
"stable  keepers  at  San  Rafael,  Cal."  Mr.  Lacey  stood 
the  thoroughbred  stallion  Hubbard,  and  I  understand 
the  stallion,  Milton  Medium,  the  season  of  1877  at 
Shell  Mound  Stock  Farm,  near  San  Rafael.  Messrs. 
Murry  and  Jewell  were  stable  keepers.  The  late  Geo. 
P.  Kimball,  carriage  manufacturer,  of  San  Francisco, 
and  Mr.  Lacey  were  their  patrons.  Any  information 
that  can  be  furnished  as  to  the  above  would  be  thank- 
fully appreciated,    Yours,  Samuel  Gamble. 

P.  S. — I  have  at  last  discovered  another  mare  by 
the  name  of  "Fly, "  once  owned  by  the  late  Wm.  C. 
Ralston.  Such  was  learned  through  a  receiptor  a 
letter  on  the  16tb  inst.  from  a  well-known  gentleman, 
who  at  one  time  was  in  the  employ  of  Mr.  Ralston. 
He  states:  "I  would  be  pleased  to  help  you  in  tracing 
the  matter  you  have  in  hand,  but  do  not  think  that 
I  can.  Mr.  Ralston  had  a  team  of  mares,  Fly  and 
Gip.  Fly  was  a  chestnut  mare  and  her  markings,  to 
my  recollection,  were  star  and  snip,  bind  ankles 
white.  I  never  heard  of  Hiekok  selling  Mr.  Ralston 
a  team  of  mares,  although  he  may  have  done  so." 


A  Promising  Son  ot   McKinney  2:11  1-4. 

A  young  stallion  that  gives  promise  of  great  things, 
both  as  a  race  horse  and  sire,  is  the  handsome  black 
four-year-old,  General  Frisbie,  owned  by  Mr.  Thomas 
Smith  of  Vallejo,  Cal.  His  likeness  appears  on  our 
title  page  this  week,  and  at  a  glance  it  will  be  seen 
what  a  grandly  proportioned,  srroothly  turned,  styl- 
ish individual  he  is,  and  his  good  looks  are  backed 
up  by  the  very  best  of  blood  lines,  he  being  a  full 
brother  to  Tom  Smith  2:13}  by  McKinney  out  of 
Daisy  S.  (also  dam  of  Little  Mac  2:271  and  Sweet  Rose 
2:285)  by  McDonald  Chief  3583;  grand  am  Fanny  Rose, 
dam  of  Columbus  S.  2:17  and  Geo.  Washington  2:16|; 
third  dam  the  thoroughbred  mare  Jenny  Lind,  dam 
of  Prince  Allen  2:27.  Tbe  General  stands  1 5A  hands, 
weighs  1100  pounds  when  in  good  flesh,  and  is  a  nice 
going,  good-gaited  trotter  with  a  wonderful  turn  of 
speed  for  what  little  work  he  has  had.  He  was  not 
trained  last  year,  owing  to  sickness,  but  is  in  grand 
shape  this  spring,  and  after  a  season  in  the  stud, 
which  will  be  limited  to  fifteen  mares,  he  will  be 
placed  in  active  training  and  will  undoubtedly  learn 
to  trot  very  fast  before  fall. 


There  has  been  a  good  deal  of  sparring  and  cautious 
feeling  this  spring  among  the  owners  of  some  of  the 
fast  trotters  it  Philadelphia  over  a  proposed  sweep- 
stakes race  of  $500  a  corner,  but  nothing  definite  has 
developed  from  the  matter.  Mr.  Charles  W.  Morri- 
son, owner  of  the  fast  stallion  Kanaga  2:18},  has  just 
issued  a  defi,  however,  that  ought  to  make  the  other 
owners  come  to  time  or  stop  talking.  Under  date  of 
April  15,  he  writes  from  Carlisle,  Pa.:  "I  have  de- 
posited $500  with  G.  Frank  McDonald,  in  cash,  as 
entrance  fee  for  Kanaga  2:18J,  for  a  match  raceagainst 
the  following  horses:  Antezella  2:10},  Wilque  2:09^, 
Marion  Wilkes  2:08},  Wentworth  2:08  and  Dan  T. 
2:07},  under  the  following  conditions:  'Race  to  have 
the  six  horses  to  enter,  National  Trotting  Association 
rules  to  govern,  best  three  out  of  five  beats  to  har- 
ness, said  race  to  be  held  over  a  mile  track  offering 
the  best  inducements,  and  race  not  to  take  place  later 
than  July  10,  1905.  Winner  to  take  the  entire  purse 
and  gate  money,  after  all  the  expenses  of  the  meeting 
have  been  deducted.  Entrance  money  of  all  horses 
to  be  paid  on  or  before  May  J,  1905.  The  race  to  be 
play  or  pay.'  " — Trotter  and  Pacer. 


Will  Logan  writing-  to  the  Trotter  and  Pacer  from 
Memphis  last  week  has  the  following  to  say  about  a 
California  bred  mare:  "Lafe  Shafer  has  a  small  but 
select  string.  The  starof  his  stable  is  the  mare  Zephyr 
who  raced  successfully  as  a  four-year-old  during  the 
season  of  1902,  acquiring  a  record  of  2:11.  Circuit 
followers  remember  well  the  performance  of  Zephyr 
in  the  2:30  class  at  the  Hartford  meeting,  when  the 
daughter  of  Zombro  won  the  first  beat  and  the  official 
timer  failed  to  record  the  time.  However,  scores  of 
horsemen  timed  the  mare  this  heat  in  2:07J.  Zephyr 
before  the  conclusion  of  this  race  was  drawn  on 
account  of  lameness  and  has  not  started  since  that 
day.  She  was  put  to  breeding,  and  Mr.  Shafer  at  the 
present  time  has  a  beautiful  filly  of  hers  by  Beauseant 
2:06J.  Last  year  Zephyr  was  trained  all  season  and 
before  going  into  winter  quarters  trotted  a  half  mile 
track  in  2:1H.  She  has  developed  into  a  strong  mare 
and  looks  every  inch  a  winner." 


Readville  has  an  exceptionally  long  list  of  entries  to        Strike!— if  they  don't  give  youJackson 
its  purses.     They  will  be  printed  next  week.  wrer  you  ask  for  it.

M  JOTTINGS.  W\ 


THE  LOS  ANGELES  PROGRAM  is  out,  and  it 
should  please  California  horsemen  as  owing  to 
the  conditions  which  require  only  six  entries,  every 
purse  should  fill.  There  are  fourteen  $1000  purses  for 
class  horses,  and  four  purses  for  colts,  the  three-year- 
olds  being  given  1600  and  the  two-year-olds  $500.  For 
the  trotters  there  are  the  2:11,  2:14,  2:17,  2:20,  2:24, 
2:27  and  2:45  classes;  for  the  pacers  the  classes  pro- 
vided are  the  2:09,  2:11,  2:13,  2:17.  2:20,  2:24  and  2:27. 
These  fourteen  races  give  every  owner  a  ohance  to 
enter  and  will  provide  a  program  of  races  that  should 
bring  about  splendid  contests  every  day.  Six  to 
enter  and  four  to  start  is  certainly  a  very  liberal  con- 
dition where  all  the  purses  are  $1000  each.  The  Los 
Angeles  Association  is  an  enterprising  one,  and 
already  has  $15,000  in  the  bank  and  proposes  to  pay 
the  purses  as  soon  as  they  are  won,  a  very  popular 
plan  with  the  horsemen.  One  of  the  reasons  among 
many  others,  why  tbe  Woodland  meetings  were  so 
popular  with  horsemen,  was  the  custom  established 
there  years  ago  of  having  the  Treasurer  in  the  Secre- 
tary's office  under  the  judge's  stand  with  the  coin 
ready  to  pay  off  as  soon  as  the  race  was  decided.  The 
Los  Angeles  people  propose  to  pay  tbe  purses  promptly 
and  to  have  everything  run  in  a  thorough  up-to-date 
manner.  

Los  Angeles  will  open  tbecircuit  July  3d,  and  I  hope 
every  trainer,  owner  and  breeder  will  commence  right 
now  speakiDg  good  words  for  the  association  and 
securing  every  entry  possible  to  be  made.  When  an 
organization  of  gentleman  go  do.vn  into  their  pockets 
and  put  up  the  hard  cash  to  guarantee  the  success  of 
a  harness  meeting  and  then  issue  as  generous  a  pro- 
gram as  that  advertised  by  the  Los  Angeles  Harness 
Horse  Association,  they  deserve  the  support  of  every 
one  that  is  interested  in  any  way  with  the  breeding, 
training  or  racing  of  harness  horses.  The  trip  from 
this  part  of  the  State  to  Los  Angeles  is  made  in  a 
little  over  twelve  hours  and  is  not  an  expensive  one. 
There  will  be  a  meeting  at  Fresno  the  week  following, 
and  the  circuit  will  continue  from  there  to  Pleasanton, 
San  Jose,  Santa  Rosa,  Woodland  and  Sacramento 
where  the  State  Fair  will  hold  an  excellent  harness 
meeting  this  year.  Everything  points  to  one  of  the 
best  circuits  that  California  harness  horse  owners 
have  had  provided  them  in  years,  and  the  way  to 
make  it  successful  throughout  is  to  enter  at  Los 
Angeles  and  start  it  off  with  a  race  meeting  that  will 
make  everybody  wish  they  had  been  there  to  see  the 
6port.  If  there  is  good  racing  at  Los  Angeles  the 
meetings  up  North  will  also  be  successful  and  there 
will  be  good  crowds  all  the  way  through  the  circuit. 
Look  over  thao  Los  Angeles  program  and  see  if  it  is 
not  a  liberal  one.  

A  couple  of  ministers  of  the  Gospel  were  enjoying  a 
buggy  ride  on  the  road  between  Livermore  and  Pleas- 
anton one  day  last  week,  and  tbe  mare  they  were 
driving  was  a  pretty  good  one.  The  driver  was  a 
good  reinsman,  and  on  one  or  two  occasions,  when  a 
particularly  good  piece  of  road  was  encountered  he 
shifted  the  bit  in  the  mare's  mouth  and  let  her  step 
out  a  little.  The  day  was  a  beautiful  one,  the  road 
free  from  dust  or  mud,  and  the  two  gentlemen  of  the 
cloth  were  enjoying  themselves  immensely.  As  they 
were  jogging  along  quietly  after  one  of  these  little 
spurts,  their  mare  put  back  her  ears  and  began  to 
quicken  her  speed.  She  had  heard  the  pit-pat  of  a 
fast  pacer  coming  from  behind  and  she  was  getting 
ready  for  a  brush  if  her  driver  was  willing.  Although 
a  God-fearing  man  he  is  no  bigot,  and  saw  no  harm  in 
letting  the  little  mare  keep  ahead  of  tl.e  pacer  if  she 
could,  and  so  took  a  little  shorter  hold  on  the  lines 
and  signaled  to  her  that  "Barkis  is  willin'."  The 
mare  needed  no  encouragement,  and  there  was  a 
speed  contest  on  in  a  minute.  The  pacer  drew  along- 
side and,  glancing  across,  tbe  sky  pilot  saw  there  were 
two  In  the  other  buggy  as  well  as  his  own,  and  recog- 
nizing tbe  driver  Immediately  concluded  the  little 
mare  would  have  to  make  the  effort  of  her  life  to  win, 
as  tbe  pacer  was  a  race  horse  of  Grand  Circuit  caliber. 
Gradually  tbe  pacing  horse  dro-v  up  alongside  the 
little  trotting  mare,  and  step  by  step  gained  on  her 
until  their  noses  were  oven.  Then  he  drew  ahead 
Inch  by  inch,  but  the  mare  hung  on  and  was  only  a 
length  behind  when  a  piece  of  road  was  reached  that 
was  as  smooth  as  a  race  track  for  200  yards  and  wide 
enough  for  both.  The  preacher  took  a  firmer  grip 
on  the  linos,  and  let  out  a  jell  that  would  have  done 

•r.ili,  to  Andy  MoDowell  In  lii-  palmy  days.  The 
Mltl  ■  mare  was  immediately  instilled  witb  mm 

nre  speed,  and    she  trotted   as  she  had  never 

•  ■:■:  •i.-d  before.     Lower  and    lower   lo  the  ground  she 
ut"d  to  get,  and  with  one  mighty  effort  &he  caught 


the  pacer  and  passed  him,  although  his  driver  was 
making  a  reefing  finish.  Satisfied  with  the  showing 
made  the  minister  pulled  up,  and  the  pacer's  driver 
saluted  the  victor  and  drove  on.  Gradually  getting 
the  mare  down  to  a  walk,  the  preacher  turned  and 
looked  at  his  brother  beside  him.  He  was  as  pale  as 
a  ghost  and  still  clinging  to  the  seat  with  both  hands, 
while  his  eyes  stuck  out  like  peeled  onions.  He  soon 
regained  his  composure,  however,  and  after  remark- 
ing that  he  had  never  ridden  so  fast  or  been  so  scared 
in  his  life,  asked:  "Who  is  the  gentleman  driving 
that  pacing  horse?" 

"That's  Monroe  Salisbury,"  was  the  answer. 

After  a  long  silence  the  retort  came:  "Well,  he  is  a 
very  pleasant  appearing  man,  and  from  the  way  he 
saluted  you  I  should  judge  he  enjoyed  the  race  as 
much  as  you  did.  But  I  don't  care  to  meet  him  again 
soon  unless  I  am  on  foot  or  driving  mj  own  horse." 

The  Eastern  turf  writers  are  all  talking  about 
George  G.  2:06}  and  saying  that  now  Ed  Geers  has 
improved  his  manners  he  should  be  a  great  race  horse. 
I  don't  know  what  manners  George  G.  developed  after 
he  was  sold  and  went  East,  but  his  racing  manners 
here  in  California  when  Albertson  had  him  were  not 
of  the  cayuse  order  by  a  good  deal.  In  fact  there  was 
not  a  horse  on  the  circuit  that  year  that  behaved  any 
better  than  George  G.  did.  In  his  first  start,  which 
was  at  Vallejo,  Albertson  did  not  know  how  he  would 
act  and  took  him  along  very  gently,  but  the  horse 
acted  well  and  the  next  time  out  he  won  very  handily 
and  continued  to  win,  only  losing  one  heat  through  a 
break.  He  won  his  other  races  in  straight  heats,  and 
after  his  engagements  were  filled,  showed  a  quarter 
in  28|  seconds  at  Sacramento  He  "gaunted"  a  little 
before  the  end  of  the  season  and  one  or  two  trainers 
here  thought  he  would  not  do  for  a  hard  campaign, 
but  so  far  as  his  manners  were  concerned  he  was 
known  as  a  good  headed  horse  at  all  times  and  trotted 
some  good  races  in  big  fields  where  a  bad  mannered 
horse  could  not  have  won.  His  manners  were  said  to 
be  anything  but  good  when  Ed  Geers  got  him  but 
they  must  have  been  the  result  of  his  getting  out  of 
condition  or  the  pace  being  too  hot  for  him  before  he 
was  ready.  George  G.  only  had  a  record  of  2:12} 
when  he  left  Pleasanton,  but  he  could  have  stepped  a 
mile  in  2:06  there  before  he  left,  and  done  it  like  a 
gentleman.  I  hope  that  Ed  Geers  will  mark  him 
close  to  two  minutes  this  year,  as  I  think  George  G. 
can  come  as  near  trotting  to  that  mark  as  any  horse 
that  has  not  yet  trotted  that  fast.  He  certainly  has 
as  great  a  brush  of  speed  as  any  horse  unless  it's  Lou 
Dillon.  

Now  that  thi  California  State  Agricultural  Society 
has  made  a  new  start  on  new  lines,  and  the  State  is 
the  actual  owner  of  all  Its  property,  would  it  not  be  a 
good  idea  for  the  Board  of  Directors  to  introduce  some 
new  ideas  into  its  premium  list?  Take  the  carriage 
horse  class  for  instance.  Everyone  knows  that  a  first 
class  carriage  horse  is  a  rare  animal  and  that  the 
owner  of  one  can  get  a  big  price  for  one  that  is  fit  to 
be  called  by  that  name.  There  is  no  more  useful  type 
of  horse  and  none  more  profitable  for  the  breeder  to 
produce,  if  they  can  be  raised  with  as  much  uniformity 
of  size  and  type  as  the  draft  horse  of  any  established 
breed.  I  would  suggest  that  the  State  Board  of 
Agriculture  establish  an  annual  prize  for  the  best 
carriage  horse  shown  by  its  breeder.  This  prize 
should  not  be  less  than  $100  in  coin  and  I  think  $200 
would  not  be  too  high  a  figure.  In  announcing  such 
a  prize  it  should  be  stipulated  that  horses  entered  for 
it  should  be  shown  in  harness.  It  should  be  open  to 
mares  or  geldings,  weight  and  height  fixed  between 
certain  limits,  style,  manners  and  soundness  to  count 
largely  in  the  score  of  points,  and  in  short  the  condi- 
tions should  be  such  as  would  require  the  prize  win- 
ner to  be  worthy  in  every  way  to  be  called  a  carriage 
horse.  Hor6es  of  any  breeding  should  be  permitted 
to  compete,  but  the  owner  should  be  required  to  give 
breeding  of  his  entry  as  far  as  its  grand  sires  and  dams 
on  both  sides.  Horses  with  banged  or  docked  tails 
should  be  barred.  An  annual  prize  of  this  sort  might 
not  attract  a  very  heavy  entry  list  the  first  year,  but 
breeders  would  soon  become  interested  and  I  believe 
it  would  encourage  much  more  extensive  breeding  of 
this  class  of  horses.  It  might  be  that  a  6take  could 
be  arranged  for  carriage  horses  to  be  shown  as  four- 
year-olds,  to  which  a  small  entry  fee  could  be 
charged,  with  added  money  as  in  the  Occident  and 
Stanford  Stakes,  which  are  for  trotting  three-year- 
olds.  A  show  of  seven  or  eight  carriage  horses  com- 
peting for  a  rich  stake  or  prize  would  fill  the  grand 
stand  and  be  one  of  tbe  most  attractive  features  of  a 
Slate  Fair.  

The  quartotte  of  California  mares  entered  in  the  M. 
iV  M.  are  about  as  high  class  a  crowd  of  young  trotters 
as  have  e'er  been  named  in  one  stake.  They  are  Mr. 
de  la  Montanya's  Brilliant  Girl  by  James  Madison, 
Mr.  S.  S.  Bernard's  Briquette  by  Zombro,  East  View 


Farm's  Helen  Keys  by  Sidney  Dillon  and  P.  W. 
Hodges'  Lady  Zombro  by  Zombro.  These  mares 
would  make  a  race  by  themselves  that  would  be 
worth  going  a  long  way  to  see,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped 
they  all  reach  Detroit  in  good  shape  and  start  in  good 
condition  when  the  word  is  given  in  the  $10,000  stake. 
Lady  Zombro  has  shown  the  fastest  half  of  any  of 
them  thus  far,  her  four  furlongs  in  1:02*  two  weeks 
ago  at  Pleasanton  being  the  record  of  workoutsso  far. 
Helen  Keys  is  a  pretty  fair  one  herself,  and  Charley 
De  Ryder  has  stepped  her  some  fast  halves  lately. 
She  was  bred  at  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  and  is  by 
Sidney  Dillon  out  of  a  mare  by  Piedmont.  A  Sidney 
Dillon  won  the  last  M.  &  M.  and  it  would  make  quite' 
a  sensation  in  breeding  circles  should  one  of  his  get 
repeat  the  performance  this  year.  Briquette,  the 
other  Zombro  mare  named  in  the  stake  iB  the  mare 
which  Mr.  M.  A-  Murphy  of  this  city  bred  and  re- 
cently sold  to  Mr.  S.  S.  Barnard  of  Colorado  Springs. 
She  worked  a  half  in  1:051  before  the  sale.  Brilliant 
Girl  was  bied  at  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  and  is 
by  James  Madison  out  of  BrUliantshine  by  Charles 
Derby.  She  was  started  four  times  on  Eastern  tracks 
last  year.  At  Proviience  she  was  second  to  Anaconda 
who  trotted  his  three  winning  heats  in  2:13,  2:11}  and 
2:13.  At  Readville  where  Anaconda  won  again,  she 
was  3-5  in  the  summary  and  the  heats  were  in  2:09| 
and  2:10|.  At  Columbus  in  the  2:19  class  trot  won 
by  Brownie  Wilton  she  was  one  of  eighteen  starters 
and  was  outside  the  money,  being  seventh  in  the  sum- 
mary. Her  last  start  was  at  Memphis  where  she  was 
a  good  second  both  heats  to  Bonnie  Russell  when  he 
won  in  2:10}  and  2:11}.  Jack  Curry  says  she  is  a 
better  mare  than  Tuna  2:08},  her  stake  companion. 
On  form  she  is  one  of  the  best  prospects  for  a  winner 
of  tbe  big  Detroit  stake,  and  at  all  events  California 
breeders  will  be  well  represented  in  the  race  by 
Brilliant  Girl,  Lady  Zombro.  Briquette  and  Helen 
Keys  if  they  all  reach  there  in  condition  and  start. 


Good  Program  for  State  Fair. 

The  Speed  (Jommittee  of  the  California  State  Agri- 
cultural Society  has  arranged  a  harness  racing  pro- 
gram for  the  State  Fair  this  year,  which  will  be 
submitted  to  the  Directors  at  theirmeetingnext  week, 
and  which  will  very  likely  be  adopted  without  ohange 
as  it  has  the  approval  of  every  member  of  the  Board 
who  has  examined  it.  Purses  will  also  be  offered  for 
runners,  and  while  there  will  only  be  six  racing  days 
instead  of  twelve,  as  has  been  the  custom  in  recent 
years,  the  change  is  more  than  acceptable  to  all,  and 
the  prospects  are  excellent  for  one  of  the  be6t  fairs  in 
years.  The  program,  as  arranged  by  Directors  Burke, 
Kingsbury  and  Rose  of  the  Speed  Committee,  is  as 
follows:

Mr.  C.  K.  G.  Billings  w'ill  have  a  closing  out  sale  of 
nearly  all  bis  horses  next  winter.  He  will  retain  Lou 
Dillon.  Major  Delmar,  Prince  Direct,  Hontas  Crooke 
and  a  few  others  and  some  of  his  broodmares.  Mr 
Billings  expects  to  make  a  tour  of  Europe  in  1906 
with  his  family,  and  therefore  will  dispose  of  nearly 
all  his  horses  in  training.  He  must  have  nearly  fifty 
horses  in  training  all  the  time.  He  will  breed  the 
most  of  his 'best  mares  to  Prince  Direct.

TOZER'S     TURF     TALK. 


The  latest  from  the  seat  of  turf  war  (Chicago)  is  the 
ultimatum  of  the  District  Attorney,  who  declares  he 
will  see  to  it  that  the  law  against  betting  in  Illinois  is 
enforced  to  the  letter-  He  furthermore  declares  that 
arrests  for  infringement  of  the  law  will  take  place 
every  hour,  if  necessary.  This  will  undoubtedly 
hold  the  warring  "magnates"  of  the  turf  for  a  time. 
I  think  I  see  the  fine  Hibernian  hand  of  the  blind  sage 
of  Harlem,  John  Condon,  in  the  stand  of  the  District 
Attorney.  Mr.  Condon  apparently  has  looked  far 
ahead,  made  up  his  mind  quickly,  sawed  wood  and 
acted  with  dispatch  in  securing  a  lease  on  the  excellent 
track  at  Hammond,  Ind.,  just  a  pleasant  ride  from 
Chicago.  He  probably  has  other  near- by  courses  in 
Hoosierdom,  from  whence  he  hails.  If  there  be  no 
racing  allowed  in  Cook  county  Corrigan  is  undoubt- 
edly placed  at  a  disadvantage— temporarily,  at  least. 
He  will  in  all  likelihood  see  the  way  the  wind  is  blow- 
ing and  have  a  plant  in  operation  down  in  Indiana  in 
a  month  or  so,  but  he  will  have  that  much  the  worst 
of  it,  and  a  month's  start  in  a  race  track  struggle  for 
supremacy  is  not  to  be  sneered  at.  As  a  strategist 
Mr.  Condon  is  certainly  a  regular  Mosby.  Things 
looked  lively  in  a  racing  way  in  the  Windy  City  by 
the  big  lake  when  the  new  Mayor,  Judge  Dunn, 
won  over  Harlan,  and  the  Corrigan  forces 
smiled  sweetly  and  went  on  preparing  their  monetary 
reapers  for  the  harvest  of  coin  that  seemed  to  be  in 
plain  view,  ripened  and  ready.  Nothing  was  said 
about  the  District  Attorney  "sitting  in"  and  calling 
for  "keerds"  in  the  racing  game  until  the  Worth 
people  had  unloaded  whole  train-loads  of  racers  and 
prepared  their  plant  for  the  fray.  Theo,  at  the 
eleventh  hour,  Mr.  District  Attorney  sounds  his  bell 
of  warning,  and  the  Corriganites'  smile  came  off. 
They  have  been  out-generaled,  and  John  Condon  has 
in  all  likelihood  made  his  royal  flush  in  the  draw.  Of 
course,  Corrigan  has  the  Indianapolis  fair  grounds 
track  under  lease,  and  may  move  his  show  to  the 
capital  of  James  Whitcomb  Riley's  State,  but  Indian- 
apolis wont  draw  anywhere  near  as  well  as  will  Ham- 
mond, at  least  that's  the  way  it  looks  to  an  unbiased 
person  scanning  the  landscape  from  a  promontory 
with  a  good  pair  of  fleld  glasses. 


the   only   American   horse  that  ever  won   both   the 
Derby  and  St.  Leger  in  England. 


The   Horse. 


Samuel  Adler  of  the  clever  firm  of  Cella,  Adler  & 
Tilles,  St.  Louis,  claims  to  be  the  Moses  that  will 
lead  the  tribe  of  race  track  owners  out  of  the  Missouri 
wilderness.  It  seems  that  the  Godfrey  law  has  a  hole 
in  it  large  enough  to  admit  all  the  betting  men  in 
that  commonwealth.  That  hole  is  the  failure  to  take 
in  Paris  mutuel  betting  when  the  reformers  were 
making  the  law  that  was  to  sound  the  death-knell  of 
racing  in  Folk's  state.  Adler  says  there  is  nothing  to 
prevent  the  sale  of  Paris  mutuels,  provided  no  ticket 
is  issued,  and  this  is  to  be  gotten  around  by  marking 
the  sale  on  the  daily  badge  of  the  buyer,  by  the  pur- 
chaser, under  the  surveillance  of  an  employe  who  is 
connected  with  the  track  mutuel  machine.  Of  course 
this  is  a  rather  unsatisfactory  way  of  placing  money 
on  horses,  but  it  beats  nothing  all  hollow,  and  the 
mutuel  machine  will  do  awav  with  most  of  the  skull- 
duggery of  the  turf  that  was  prevalent  under  the 
booking  system.  That  a  winner  has  to  be  picked,  in 
order  for  a  person  to  win,  means  that  riders  will  not 
be  paid  to  "pull"  horses  sure  to  be  heavily  played,  as 
was  the  case  too  often  under  the  present  plan,  and 
instead  of  having  from  10  to  20  per  cent  the  worst  of 
it,  5  per  cent  will  be  the  charge  for  handling  the  coin 
of  the  dear  public. 

Iredeus,  one  of  the  best-looking  and  most  consistent 
race  horses  that  ran  here  this  season,  broke  down 
badly  last  Saturday  in  a  mile  race  wherein  he  was 
leading  by  over  two  lengths  to  the  final  sixteenth. 
Dr.  Rowell  saw  that  his  horse's  racing  days  were 
oyer,  and  offered  him  for  a  ridiculously  small  sum. 
He  was  purchased  Monday  morning  for  the  La  Siesta 
Stock  Farm  in  San  Mateo  county,  and  will  be  bred  to 
a  few  select  matrons  domiciled  there.  Iredeus  is  bred 
on  the  most  fashionable  lines,  combining  the  best 
blood  of  England  and  America.  Imp  Golden  Garter, 
his  sire,  is  to  my  mind  the  best  bred  horse  in  America, 
being  by  Bend  Or  (winner  of  the  Derby  and  sire  of 
Ormonde,  Ben  Strome,  Order,  Kendal,  Martagon, 
etc.,)  out  of  Sanda(dam  of  Sanfoin,  winner  of  the 
Derby  and  sire  of  Rock  Sand,  winner  of  the  triple 
crown)  by  Wenlock  (winner  of  the  St.  Leger  and  sire 
of  the  dam  of  Isinglass,  largest  winnrr  in  turf  history)- 
There  are  little  but  classic  stake  winners  in  Golden 
Garter's  pedigree,  and  among  other  things  I  note 
that  his  third  and  fourth  dams  won  the  Oaks.  Iris, 
dam  of  Iredeus,  was  a  frequent  winner  by  Darebin, 
and  Darebin  is  probably  the  greatest  sire  of  brood- 
mares in  America,  throwing,  as  they  did,  such  stars 
as  Commando,  Mesmerist,  Hastasoo,  Goldsmith,  Gold 
Van  and  Africander.  Iris'  dam  was  by  Iroquois,  who 
led  the  stallions  of  this  country  one  season  and  was 


The  first  foal  by  the  magnificent  Bramble  horse, 
Greenock,  came  last  week  at  Antioch,  and  is  pro- 
nounced by  experts  to  be  the  finest  youngster  ever 
foaled  on  the  place.  The  dam  is  a  young  Magnet 
mare.  The  horse  is  now  quartered  at  the  farm  super- 
intended by  Mr.  Nugent,  and  will  probably  be  mated 
with  some  very  good  mares.  I  predict  that  he  will 
prove  the  best  sire  in  the  State,  and  only  regret  that 
I  am  not  the  owner  of  a  stock  farm  with  Greenock  aE 
the  premier  stailion  thereon.  Just  what  breeders  are 
thinking  of  to  let  a  horse  with  the  great  looks,  grand 
breeding  and  splendid  turf  record  of  Greenock  vir- 
tually go-a-begging,  I  am  at  a  loss  to  know,  but  that 
was  the  lot  of  his  grandsire,  Bonnie  Scotland,  and  of 
Virgil,  sire  of  Hindoo,  who  begot  Greenock's  dam. 
James  Woods,  the  ownerof  Greenock,  is  not  a  breeder, 
and  it  is  to  be  deplored  that  some  person  owning  a 
number  of  fine  mares  does  not  come  along  and  buy 
this  horse,  which,  I  understand,  can  now  be  secured 
for  $1000.  Mr.  Woods'  address  is  532  Eighteerth 
street,  Oakland. 

Dr.  Leggo,  having  shown  the  most  remarkable 
staying  qual.ties  of  any  tbree-year-old  in  America  for 
the  past  twenty  years,  last  Wednesday  tried  his  feet 
at  three-quarters  of  a  mile,  winning  laughingly  over 
a  fine  field  of  sprinters,  after  being  absolutely  last  and 
a  poor  last  when  they  had  gone  a  furlong.  He  runs 
that  last  three-eighths  so  fast  that  his  opponents 
appear  to  be  hauling  logs  as  he  comes  up.  Follow  Me, 
whose  dam  is  the  grandam  of  Dr.  Leggo,  won  on  the 
same  afternoon  in  impressive  style.

Corrigan  on  the  Missouri  Situation. 


[Kentucky  Parmer  and  Breeder.] 
Mr.  Edward  Corrigan,  the  moving  spirit  of  the 
new  American  Turf  Association,  accompanied  by  Mr. 
Matt  J.  Winn,  president  of  the  association  and 
manager  of  the  New  Louisville  Jockey  Club,  spent 
Wednesday  in  Lexington.  They  were  at  Mr.  Corri- 
gan's  farm  most  of  the  day,  but  in  Lexington  long 
enough  to  shake  hands  with  a  number  of  friends.  In 
conversation  with  a  representative  of  The  Kentucky 
Farmer  and  Breeder,  Mr.  Corrigan  expressed  the 
fullest  satisfaction  at  the  condition  of  affairs  of  the 
American  Turf  Association.  He  said  the  outlook 
could  not  possibly  be  more  promising  than  it  is  and 
that  the  work  already  accomplished  by  the  Associa- 
tion was  far  ahead  of  any  expectations  which  the 
gentlemen  who  organized  it  had  in  the  beginning. 

"The  only  discouraging  feature  to  racing  in  the 
West,"  said  Mr.  Corrigan,  "is  the  recent  adverse 
legislation  in  Tennessee  and  Missouri  You  struck 
the  key-note  of  the  situation  iu  your  editorial  in  The 
Kentucky  Farmer  and  Breeder  last  week  when  you 
said  that  Gov.  Folk's  opposition  to  racing  was  due 
solely  to  his  knowledge  of  the  conditions  prevailing  at 
the  St.  Louis  tracks  controlled  by  the  Cella-Adler- 
Tilles  combination.  Any  man  familiar  with  the  con- 
ditions there  will  verify  your  statement  that  that 
syndicate  of  gamblers  ran  faro  banks,  crapgames  and 
every  other  form  of  skin  games  at  the  tracks  under 
their  jurisdiction  both  day  and  night.  Folk  was 
determined  to  put  a  stop  to  that  sort  of  thing  and  in 
order  to  do  it  he  had  to  prohibit  racing  in  the  State. 
I  have  $133,000  invested  in  the  Kansas  City  track  and 
1  am  glad  of  the  action  of  Governor  Folk.  He  deemed 
such  action  necessary  in  order  to  rid  the  racing  in- 
terests of  Missouri  of  the  corrupt  St.  Louis  syndicate, 
and  if  he  succeeds  in  his  effort,  as  I  believe  he  will,  he 
deserves  the  thanks  of  every  man  who  has  the  best 
interests  of  racing  at  heart.  I  am  perfectly  willing  to 
let  my  money  at  Kansas  City  lie  idle  for  two  years  in 
order  to  bring  about  this  reform,  and  I  believe  that 
at  the  end  of  two  years  such  legislation  will  be  passed 
with  Governor  Folk's  approval  as  will  allow  racing  in 
the  State  of  Missouri,  when  conducted  on  a  proper 
plane  by  decent  people.  Gov.  Folk  is  an  honest  man 
and  a  fair  man.  He  is  giving  and  will  continue  to 
give  the  State  of  Missouri  the  best  administration  in 
his  power,  and  the  people  away  from  there  do  not 
understand  the  service  which  he  will  do  if  he  succeeds 
in  wiping  out  the  Cella-Adler-Tilles  gang. " 


Valuable  Horses. 


Are  a  treasure  to  their  owners  In  early  spring.  Every  horse  that 
can  walk  Is  of  considerable  value  in  the  busy  work  season. 
Businessmen,  teamsters  and  farmers  at  times  can  not  estimate 
in  dollars  and  cents  the  worth  of  a  well-disposed  and  healthy 
horse.  Many  horse  owners  have  found  by  experience  that  Craft's

Jackson's  Napa  Soda  does  not  tangle  the  feet. 


At  the  Museum  of  Natural  History  in  New  York 
there  is  now  a  very  interesting  series  of  exhibits  illus- 
trating the  development  of  the  horse,  from  the  five- 
toed  creature  discovered  some  years  ago  on  the  plains 
out  in  Wyoming  to  the  Arabian  barb,  which  has  long 
stood  and  still  stands  at  the  summit  of  the  equine 
scale.  This  exhibit  shows  the  horse  very  instructively 
in  his  relation,  structurally  rather  than  industrially 
to  man.  In  a  large  glass  case  stands  the  skeleton  of  a 
fine  horse,  rearing  on  its  hind  legs,  raising  its  paws  in 
the  air,  and  tossing  its  head  aloft,  while  at  its  side  is 
the  skeleton  of  a  man,  in  the  attitude  of  restraining 
the  horse;  and  while  each  bony  frame  is  absolutely 
true  to  the  anatomy  of  the  creature  represented,  the 
resemblance  of  the  two  is  so  great  as  to  cause  a  sense 
of  wonder  in  the  beholder.  The  skeletons  seem  abso 
lutely  to  be  those  of  creatures  of  the  same  genus. 
The  horse  is  made  the  man's  own  brother.  There  is 
a  double  allegory  in  this  picture.  One  story  it  tells 
of  the  onward  march  of  two  of  God's  creatures  to- 
ward beauty,  freedom,  strength,  swiftness,  spirit  and 
of  their  apparent  arrival  at  the  possession  of  almost 
n  identical  frame;  and  another  story,  of  a  companiona- 
ship  which  can  never  be  terminated  in  spile  of  man's 
mechanical  caprices. 

The  horse,  unlike  most  other  creatures,  never 
reached  the  perfection  of  his  physical  development 
until  he  became  associated  with  man.  Similarly,  man 
never  became  truly  great,  truly  free,  until  he  called 
the  horse  into  his  service.  The  nearest  approach  to 
a  human  condition  which  is  one  of  essential  nobility 
without  the  horse  is  found  in  certain  tribes  of  the 
North  American  Indians  before  the  white  men  came; 
and  these  very  Indians  had  brought  themselves  nearer 
to  the  nature  and  the  frame  of  the  horse  himself  than 
any  other  race  of  men  on  the  globe.  And  when  at 
least  the  horse  came,  the  Indian  greeted  him  aB  a 
friend,  as  a  long-lost  brother. 

A  Greek  in  body  and  pose  the  man  must  have  been 
who  had  such  a  frame  as  that  exhibited  in  the  group 
at  the  Museum  of  Natural  History;  and  I  am  con. 
strained  to  believe  that  Greek  horses  must  have  had 
such  a  frame  as  that  by  this  human  skeleton's  side,  in 
spite  of  the  representations  of  a  rather  stockier, 
thicker-necked  horse  that  we  find  in  the  Greek 
sculpture. 

It  is  an  interesting  principle  that  every  country 
produces  a  horse  that  fits  its  own  characteristics;  he 
is  the  creature  of  the  land  in  which  he  lives.  Surely 
Achilles  or  Agamemnon  never  went  to  war  with  a 
thick-limbed,  lumbering  horse.  It  was  agricultural 
employment  that  reduced  the  horse  to  the  degrada- 
tion of  an  ox-like  form  and  movement, and  the  ancient  * 
never  used  him  for  that.  In  Wales,  for  centuries  it 
was  unlawful  to  use  a  horse  to  draw  a  plow.  The 
Welsh,  who  had  fine  horses,  must  have  known,  or 
felt  in  their  equine  bones,  that  agricultural  tmploy 
ment  would  spoil  the  horse's  shape  and  speed  in  time. 
The  plow  was  left  to  the  ox,  in  the  middle  ages,  and 
the  horse  reserved  for  war  and  pleasure.  He  became 
a  true  nobleman  in  his  characteristics.  But  thrifty 
Germans  and  Frenchmen  brought  him  to  the  plow  at 
last,  and  the  ox  like  Clydesdale  and  Percheron  are 
the  result. 

The  ideal  horse  is  the  spare  beast  thatearriesa 
spare  man  on  his  back — the  Arab  barb,  in  sooth. 
Nothing  like  this  creature  was  ever  produced  else- 
where in  antiquity,  and  it  will  take  free  and  wild 
people  to  develop  such  a  creature  again.  If  the  ideal 
horse  is  developed  by  being  ridden  by  a  sp3re  man  of 
free  habits,  and  never  worked  otherwise,  it  may  be 
asked  why  our  Indians  did  not  develop  an  Arabian 
horse.  This  answer  is  plain.  They  never  had  time. 
They  caught  the  descendants  of  the  Spanish  horses 
which  had  run  wild.  These  had  been  good  horses 
originally,  but  they  had  had  to  carry  men  in  armor, 
and  were  not  of  the  speediest  type. 

In  the  wild  condition  they  became  shaggy  and  were 
somewhat  reduced  in  size,  probably  by  insufficient 
food  on  arid  plains.  Ab  ridden  by  the  Indians,  they 
developed  staying  powers  which  were  numerous  and 
unexampled.  If  the  Indians  had  bred  them  for  a 
couple  of  centuries  before  they  were  interfered  with 
they  would  probably  have  developed  a  beast  not  un- 
like the  Arabian.  Again,  if  the  indigenous  horse  is 
the  creature  of  the  country  in  which  he  lives,  the 
question  may  be  asked,  What  will  be  the  typical 
American  horse,  native  and  of  long  American  parent- 
age, when  it  is  developed?  The  answer  is  easy.  It 
will  be  a  kind  of  combined  trotter  and  harvest-puller. 
We  have  already  dev- loped  one  horse  of  that  sort  in 
the  Morgan,  but  the  Morgan  was  local,  and  too  small- 
He  could  manage  perfectly  either  a  plow  or  a  sulky, 
and  no  horse  ever  surpassed  him  in  spirit  and  courage' 
but  he  lacked  power.  If  America's  eventual  contri- 
bution to  the  worlds  typical  and  national  types  of 
horses  is  a  large  Morgan  it  will  have  done  well  \c 
ducing  him. — Exchang*

STRONG     E&TIIY     FOR     'FRISCO. 

Entries  for  the  Sari  Francisco  show  will  close  ionight 
at  No  630  Market  street.  The  club's  office  will  be 
kept  open  uotil  10  p.  m.  This  week,  we  are  informed 
by  Secretary  J.Love  Cunningham,  entries  "have  been 
pouring  in."  There  is  no  reason  why  they  should 
not,  for  never  in  the  history  of  a  local — or  a  Coast 
bench  show,  has  there  been  such  a  grand  and  numer- 
ous list  of  handsome  and  valuable  prizes  offered.  The 
display  of  these  trophies  shown  in  the  windows  of 
Shreve  &  Co  and  the  Bohm-Bristol  Co.,  has  attracted 
much  attention.  Among  the  latest  specials  are 
several  good  ones  donated  for  St.  Bernards  and  one 
handsome  trophy  fnr  Italian  Greyhounds. 

It  is  estimated  that  there  will  be  about  600  entries 
this  year,  from  what  we  have  observed  we  do  not 
think  the  list  will  fall  short  of  that  number,  Dor 
would  we  be  surprised  if  that  mark  wis  exceeded. 
There  ha9  beon  a  unity  of  purpose  and  an  enthusiasm 
this  year  that  will  be  effective,  the  work  has  been 
carried  on  systematically  and  quietly,  and  successful 
results  will  for  that  reason  be  all  the  more  an  agree- 
able surprise. 

What  the  mail  entry  will  be  we  are  not  yet  advised, 
but  it  will  no  doubt  be  a  "sweller,"  forquitea  number 
of  Northern  dogs  will  he  sent  down  after  the  Portland 
show  closes  and  a  good  representation  from  Los 
Angeles  will  be  up  here. 

SHOW    CIRCUIT    NOTES.

Matinee  Races  at  Concord. 


About  Colt  Stakes. 


Although  there  are  laws  and  ordinances  framed  to 
regulate  the  speed  of  automobiles,  the  safety  of  the 
public  must  always  depend  chiefly  upon  the  care  and 
discretion  of  the  driver.  So  it  may  be  in  order  to 
suggest  the  observance  of  some  simple  rules  like 
these: 

When  going  at  a  speed  of  twenty  miles  an  hour,  if 
you  notice  a  man  in  the  middle  of  the  street,  and  he 
pays  no  attention  to  repeated  "honk!  honksl"  before 
being  run  over,  the  chances  are  that  he  is  deaf. 
Deaf  people  are  criminally  careless  when  they  stand 
in  the  street,  and  may  wreck  a  costly  machine  by 
their  stupidity.  They  deserve  their  fate,  but  are  a 
source  of  danger,  and  should  be  avoided. 

If  you  run  oyer  a  person  who  is  facirjg  the  machine 
at  the  time  the  indications  are  he  is  blind.  Blind 
persons  are  a  serious  obstruction  to  travel,  and  should 
keep  out  of  the  way  or  take  the  constquences.  You 
never  can  tell,  and  there  is  no  time  to  t-low  up  for  the 
blind. 

When  you  see  a  nervous  woman  wheeling  a  baby 
buggy  across  the  street,  and  directly  in  the  way  of 
the  automobiles,  honk  vigorously  to  make  her  mind- 
ful of  what  she  is  doing,  and  put  on  a  little  more  speed, 
to  show  her  the  need  of  more  caution  and  alertness. 
Should  the  baby  be  tossed  into  the  air  it  will  probably 
escape  uninjured.  Most  babies  like  to  be  tossed,  and 
the  mother  would  receive  a  needed  lesson. 

Never  stop  after  running  over  any  person.  There 
are  always  officious  people  in  the  neighborhood  eager 
to  give  first  aid  to  the  injured.  And  sometimes  an 
aecident  gives  them  a  chance  to  make  a  desirable 
acquaintance  or  to  butt  into  society.  Another  con 
sideration  is  that  some  persons  when  run  over  feign 
insensibility,  in  order  to  get  a  chance  to  identify  the 
honker  and  lay  the  foundation  for  a  suit  for  alleged 
injuries. 

The  proper  course  in  case  of  accident  is  to  drive  off 
as  full  speed,  unless  the  machine  be  wrecked,  in  which 
case  complaint  should  at  once  be  lodged  against  the 
person  run  over,  for  obstructing  traffic.  If  he  be  dead, 
action  should  beibegun  promptly  against  his  estate, 
for  the  value  of  the  machine,  and  thus  annoyance 
from  the  executor  or  administrator  be  forestalled. 

Careful  adherence  to  such  rules  of  conduct  would 
go  far  to  get  the  automobiles  into  closer  touch  with 
the  common  people,  and  result  in  clearing  the  streets 
for  speedy  travel.—  Sacramento  Bee. 


The  program  of  the  races  to  be  held  at  Concord  on 
Monday  next,  May  lsi  is  as  follows: 

Race  for  Local  Roadsters — Lew  Holliday's  Keno 
Wilkes,  J.  Perry's  Dick  McGinty,  Roy  Selva's  Blue 
Sidmore,  L.  R.  Palmer's  Moiiie  D.,  W.  S  Clark's  Rae 
C,  William  Foskett's  Dewey. 

Free-for-all— E.  E.  Smith's  Prince  Charles,  W.  S. 
Clark's  Goldie.  This  race  is  still  open  for  more  en- 
tries. 

Matinee  race — J.  E.  Durham's  Fly  Away,  L.  R. 
Palmer's  Derby  Potter,  William   Foskett's  Jakie  F., 


The  nominating  fees  to  the  rich  colt  stakes  have 
been  reduced  to  such  a  small  percentage  of  the  gross 
value  of  the  purse  that  the  tax  on  the  nominator  is 
not  sufficient  to  become  a  burden,  and  so  materially 
is  a  colt's  value  increased  by  his  stake  engagements 
that  few  breeders  care  to  lose  the  opportunity  of 
profiting  in  this  way. 

When  colt  stakes  were  first  inaugurated  tbeir  value 
and  importance  was  not  thoroughly  understood,cwing 
to  a  prejudice  that  existed  among  some  owners  against 
racing  and  training  at  an   early   age  the  youngsteis

that  were  expected  to  become  great  race  horses  when 
fully  matured;  but  row  that  the  futurities  and  other 
colt  stakes  have  become  such  important  features  by 
light-harness  racing,  and  the  contests  furnished  by 
the  young  things  and  the  large  sums  that  are  won  by 
trotters  long  before  they  are  old  enough  to  take  part 
in  the  all-aged  events,  this  prejudice  has  to  a  very 
great  extent  disappeared,  and  today  a  futurity  pros- 
pect has  as  great  a  value  as  a  horse  of  any  other  age. 
Breeders  have  become  impressed  with  the  importance 
of  colt  stakes,  owing  to  the  fact  that  nothing  enhances 
the  reputation  of  asire  or  dam  as  much  as  a  victory 
in  one  of  the  numerous  rich  events  that  are  each 
year  offered  for  the  colt  trotters,  for  while  the  winner 
of  an  important  all-aged  even'u  is  of  course  the  means 
of  bringing  much  reputation  to  a  sire,  the  fact  that 
he  has  got  a  futurity  winner  brings  him  greater  repu- 
tation than  anything  short  of  the  siring  of  a  champion.

According  to  an  Eastern  paper,  the  matinee  season 
at  the  Empire  track  w'll  begin  Saturday,  June  27( 
and  everything  points  to  it  being  the  best  ever  held 
on  tba*<  track  under  the  auspices  of  tie  Ntw  Yoik 
Driving  Club.  There  are  now  over  250  members  of 
the  club,  who  own  many  of  the  most  prominent  trot- 
ting and  pacing  horses  in  the  country.  The  plan  of 
racing  which  will  govern  the  matinees  will  be  the  same 
as  heretofore,  which  has  met  with  general  favor.  As 
usual,  some  very  handsome  trophie6  in  the  shape  of 
cups  will  be  offered  for  tbe  horses  winning  certain 
championships  and  the  competition  for  them  bids  fair 
to  be  .teener  than  ever  before,  for  the  horses  that 
win  will  have  to  hustle  from  start  to  finish.  Members 
are  placing  tbeir  horses  in  training  for  the  matinee 
events,  and  the  Empire  track  will  soon  be  a  lively 
place  to  visit,  especially  on  workout  days.  Aside  from 
the  matinees  and  the  Grand  Circuit  meeting,  there 
will  also  be  several  automobile  meetings  at  the  track. 


EDWIN  S.  2:08— The  Fastest   Pacer  in  California  Last  Year 


of  J.  L.  McCarthy  &  Son,  to  be  held  at  Portland, 
Oregon.  May  2,  3,  4,  5,  has  been  received  and  it  con. 
tains  the  description  of  129  horse3.  It  is  the  most 
elaborate  and  best  printed  catalogue  that  has  been 
issued  for  a  horse  sale  on  this  coast  for  some  time. 
Brook  Nook  Ranch  has  consigned  80  head  to  this  sale. 


City  Sulky,  have  just  received  six  road  cartsand  four 
sulkies  of  this  celebrated  make.  This  is  said  by  the 
agents  to  be  the  Ideal  sulky  that  the  horsemen  of 
California  have  been  looking  for.  They  weigh  from 
25  to  35  pounds.  Sweet  Marie  pulled  a  Flower  City 
sulky  when  she  beat  all  tbe  best  trotters  on  the 
Grand  Circuit  last  year. 


The  many  friends  of  Frank  W.  Covey,  former 
Superintendent  of  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm,  will  regret 
to  learn  that  he  is  very  ill  at  his  home  in  Redwood 
City  with  diabetes.  He  is  confined  to  the  house,  and 
the  physicians  do  not  give  much  hope  for  his  recovery. 


The  ten-months-old  colt  Chas.  N.  Van  Trump,  full 
brother  to  Paul  D.  Kelley  2:20$,  the  champion  year- 
ling, was  sold  last  week  for  $1500.  These  colts  were 
both  bred  by  U.  G.  Smith  of  Glenn  Falls,  New   York* 


Getaway,  the  Strathway  gelding  entered  in  the  M. 
&  M.,  is  thus  written  about  by  Grattan  in  the  Kentucky 
Stock  Farm:  Getaway  took  pai  t  in  eight  races  in  1903, 
and  escaped  with  a  record  of  2:24£.  He  was  a  2:12 
trotter  last  year,  and  I  know  several  people  who  were 
not  backward  in  6tating  their  belief  that,  given  his 
head,  he  could  trot  in  2:10.  I  happened  to  see  him 
race  where  he  appeared  to  be  out-classed .  He  started 
in  seven  races  on  the  Great  Western  Circuit,  and  was 
never  as  close  up  as  second  money  at  the  finish.  At 
Columbus,  with  the  Grand  Circuit  horses,  his  best 
performance  was  a  close  third,  the  fourth  heat,  in 
2:10$.  He  raced  somewhat  differently  at  Lexington 
and  Memphis,  closing  the  season  by  winning  a  flag, 
Tom  Axworthy  doing  the  trick  in  2:09*  He  is  a  well- 
made  bay  gelding  by  Strathway  2:19.  son  of  Stein- 
way  2:25J|,  and  is  out  of  Panzy  by  Dexter  Prince 
11363,  the  records  telling  nothing  further  about  his 
blood  lines.

STRONG     ENTRY     FOR     'FRISCO. 

Entries  for  the  San  Francisco  show  will  close  ionight 
at  No  630  Market  street.  The  club's  office  will  be 
kept  open  until  10  p.  m.  This  week,  we  are  informed 
by  Secretary  J.Love  Cunningham,  entries  "have  been 
pouring  in."  There  is  no  reason  why  they  should 
not,  for  never  in  the  history  of  a  local — or  a  Coast 
bench  show,  has  there  been  such  a  grand  and  numer- 
ous list  of  handsome  and  valuable  prizes  offered.  The 
display  of  these  trophies  shown  in  the  windows  of 
Shreve  &  Co  and  the  Bohm-Bristol  Co.,  has  attracted 
much  attention.  Among  the  latest  specials  are 
several  good  ones  donated  for  St.  Bernards  and  one 
handsome  trophy  for  Italian  Greyhounds. 

It  is  estimated  that  there  will  be  about  600  entries 
this  year,  from  what  we  have  observed  we  do  not 
think  the  list  will  fall  short  of  that  number,  nor 
would  we  be  surprised  If  that  mark  wss  exceeded. 
There  has  been  a  unity  of  purpose  and  an  enthusiasm 
this  year  that  will  be  effective,  the  work  has  been 
carried  on  systematical'y  and  quietly,  and  successful 
results  will  for  that  reason  be  all  the  more  an  agree- 
able surprise. 

What  the  mail  entry  will  be  we  are  not  yet  advised, 
but  it  will  no  doubt  be  a  "sweller,"  for  quite  a  number 
of  Northern  dogs  will  be  sent  down  after  the  Portland 
show  closes  and  a  good  representation  from  Los 
Angeles  will  be  up  here.

About  Colt  Stakes. 


Although  there  are  laws  and  ordinances  framed  to 
regulate  the  speed  of  automobiles,  the  safety  of  the 
public  must  always  depend  chiefly  upon  the  care  and 
discretion  of  the  driver.  So  it  may  be  in  order  to 
suggest  the  observance  of  some  simple  rules  like 
these: 

When  going  at  a  speed  of  twenty  miles  an  hour,  if 
you  notice  a  man  in  the  middle  of  the  street,  and  he 
pays  no  attention  to  repeated  "honk!  honksl"  before 
being  run  over,  the  chances  are  that  he  is  deaf. 
Deaf  people  are  criminally  careless  when  they  stand 
in  the  street,  and  may  wreck  a  costly  machine  by 
their  stupidity.  They  deserve  their  fate,  but  are  a 
source  of  danger,  and  should  be  avoided. 

If  you  run  oyer  a  person  who  is  faciDg  the  machine 
at  the  time  the  indications  are  he  is  blind.  Blind 
persons  are  a  serious  obstruction  to  travel,  and  should 
keep  out  of  the  way  or  take  the  constquences.  You 
never  can  tell,  and  there  is  no  time  to  slow  up  for  the 
blind. 

When  you  see  a  nervous  woman  wheeling  a  baby 
buggy  across  the  street,  and  directly  in  the  way  of 
the  automobiles,  honk  vigorously  to  make  her  mind- 
ful of  what  she  is  doing,  and  put  on  a  little  more  speed, 
to  Bhow  her  the  reed  of  more  caution  and  alertness. 
Should  the  baby  be  tossed  into  the  air  it  will  probably 
escape  uninjured.  Most  babies  like  to  be  tossed,  and 
the  mother  would  receive  a  needed  lesson. 

Never  stop  after  running  over  any  person.  There 
are  always  officious  people  in  the  neighborhood  eager 
to  give  first  aid  to  the  injured.  And  sometimes  an 
aecident  gives  them  a  chance  to  make  a  desirable 
acquaintance  or  to  butt  into  society.  Another  con 
sideration  is  that  some  persons  when  run  over  feign 
insensibility,  in  order  to  get  a  chance  to  identify  the 
honker  and  lay  the  foundation  for  a  suit  for  alleged 
injuries. 

The  proper  course  in  case  of  accident  is  to  drive  off 
a?  full  speed,  uniess  the  machine  be  wrecked,  in  which 
case  complaint  should  at  once  be  lodged  against  the 
person  run  over,  for  obstructing  traffic.  If  he  be  dead, 
action  should  be^begun  promptly  against  his  estate, 
for  the  value  of  the  machine,  and  thus  annoyance 
from  the  executor  or  administrator  be  forestalled. 

Careful  adherence  to  such  rules  of  conduct  would 
go  far  to  get  the  automobiles  into  closer  touch  with 
the  common  people,  and  result  in  clearing  the  streets 
for  speedy  travel.—  Sacramento  Bee. 


The  program  of  the  races  to  be  held  at  Concord  on 
Monday  next,  May  Isi  is  as  follows: 

Race  for  Local  Roadsters — Lew  Holliday's  Keno 
Wilkes,  J.  Perry's  Dick  McGinty,  Roy  Selva's  Blue 
Sidmore,  L.  R.  Palmer's  Mollie  D.,  W.  S  Clark's  Rao 
C,  William  Foskett's  Dewey. 

Free-for-all— E.  E.  Smith's  Prince  Charles,  W.  S.

tries. 

Matinee  race — J.  E.  Durham's  Fly  Away,  L.  R. 
Palmer's  Derby  Potter,  William    Foskett's  Jakie  F., 


The  nominating  fees  to  the  rich  colt  stakes  havo 
been  reduced  to  such  a  small  percentage  of  the  gross 
value  of  the  purse  that  the  tax  on  the  nominator  is 
not  sufficient  to  become  a  burden,  aDd  so  materially 
is  a  colt's  value  increased  by  his  stake  engagements 
that  few  breeders  care  to  lose  the  opportunity  of 
profiting  ic  this  way. 

When  colt  stakes  were  first  inaugurated  their  value 
and  importance  was  not  thoroughly  understood, owing 
to  a  prejudice  thatexisted  among  some  o  -vners  against 
racing  and  training  at  an   early   age  the   youngsteis

that  were  expected  to  become  great  race  horses  when 
fully  matured;  but  row  that  the  futurities  and  other 
colt  stakes  have  become  such  important  features  by 
light-harness  racing,  and  the  contests  furnished  by 
the  young  things  and  the  large  sums  that  are  won  by 
trotters  long  before  they  are  old  enough  to  take  part 
in  the  all-aged  events,  this  prejudice  has  to  a  very 
great  extent  disappeared,  and  today  a  futurity  pros- 
pect has  as  great  a  value  as  a  horse  of  any  other  age, 
Breeders  have  become  impressed  with  the  importance 
of  colt  stakes, owing  to  the  fact  that  nothing  enhances 
the  reputation  of  a  sire  or  dam  as  much  as  a  victory 
in  one  of  the  numerous  rich  events  that  are  each 
year  offered  for  the  colt  trotters,  for  while  the  winDer 
of  an  important  all-aged  evenu  is  of  course  the  means 
of  bringing  much  reputation  to  a  sire,  the  fact  that 
he  has  got  a  futurity  winner  brings  him  greater  repu- 
tation than  anything  short  of  the  siring  of  a  champion.

According  to  an  Eastern  paper,  the  matinee  season 
at  the  Empire  track  w;ll  begin  Saturday,  June  27^ 
and  everj  thing  points  to  it  being  the  best  ever  held 
on  that  track  under  the  aut-picea  of  tie  New  York 
Driving  Club.  There  are  now  over  250  members  of 
the  club,  who  own  many  of  the  most  prominent  trot- 
ting and  pacing  horses  in  the  country.  The  plan  of 
racing  which  will  govern  the  matinees  will  be  the  same 
as  heretofore,  which  has  met  with  general  favor.  As 
usual,  some  very  handsome  trophies  in  the  shape  of 
cups  will  be  offered  for  the  horses  winning  certain 
championships  and  the  competition  for  them  bids  fair 
to  be  keener  than  ever  before,  for  the  horses  that 
win  will  have  to  hustle  from  start  to  finish.  Members 
are  placing  their  horses  in  training  for  the  matinee 
events,  and  the  Empire  track  will  soon  be  a  lively 
place  to  visit,  especially  on  workout  days.  Aside  from 
the  matinees  and  the  Grand  Circuit  meeting,  there 
will  also  be  several  automobile  meetings  at  the  track.

California  have  been  looking  for.  They  weigh  from 
25  to  35  pounds.  Sweet  Marie  pulled  a  Flower  City

trotter  last  year,  and  I  know  several  people  who  were 
not  backward  in  stating  their  belief  that,  given  his 
head,  he  could  trot  in  2:10.  I  happened  to  see  him 
race  where  he  appeared  to  be  out-classed .  He  started 
in  seven  races  on  the  Great  Western  Circuit,  and  was 
never  as  close  up  as  second  money  at  the  finish.  At 
Columbus,  with  the  Grand  Circuit  horses,  his  best 
performance  was  a  close  third,  the  fourth  heat,  in

Interesting  Statistics. 


The  latest  move  of  the  people  who  have  a  mania  for 
reducing  everything  connected  with  harness  horses 
to  statistics,  is  the  division  of  the  2:05  trotting  and 
pacing  list  into  families.  Under  this  arrangement  the 
Wilkes  family  has  twenty -seven  representatives,  John 
A.  McKerron  2:04A,  leading  the  trotters,  and  Dan 
Patch  1:56,  the  pacers.  There  are  three  2:05  or  better 
trotters  in  the  Wilkes  family,  Tiverton  and  Sweet 
Marie  being  the  only  other  ones  than  McKerron. 
This  leaves  twenty  four  2:05  or  better  pacers  for  the 
Wilkes  tribe. 

When  the  Electioneers  are  considered,  it  is  found 
that  the  2:05  list  contains  only  five  names,  but  of  these 
three  are  trotters— Major  Delmar,  The  Abbot  and 
Azote.  Their  average  record  is  a  shade  over  2:02J, 
while  the  average  record  of  the  three  Wilkes  2:05  list 
trotters  is  exactly  two  seconds  slower.  It  is  worth 
noting  that  until  1903  the  Wilkes  family  did  not  have 
rotter  to  its  credit,  McKerron  goiDg  in  that 
season  and  Sweet  Marie  and  Tiverton  following  last 
year.  The  three  Electioneers  were  all  in  the  2:05  list 
before  the  Wilkes  family  began  to  show  in  the  select 
circle,  Azote  and  The  Abbot  taking  their  best  records 
several  years  ago,  while  Major  Delmar  sas  the  last  to 
arrive. 

The  two  Electioneer  family  pacers  in  the  list  are 
Pan  Michael  and  Shadow  Chimes,  both  in  the  2:05 
notch,  while  the  Wilkeses  have  twenty-one  that  have 
beaten  those  figures,  five  of  them  having  records 
better  than  2:02.  Of  course  the  next  five  years  may 
make  a  great  change,  but  it  is  not  likely  this  will  be 
the  case.  The  Wilkes  blood  is  a  wonder  for  breeding 
on,  and  while  Electioneer  himself  was  in  many  respects 
the  greatest  sire  of  trotters  the  world  has  known.it 
has  been  pretty  definitely  established  that  as  a  family 
his  tribe  will  not  outrank  that  of  George  Wilkes,  him- 
self the  fastest  trotter  of  his  day  and  likewise  a  pacer 
of  remarkable  speed,  although  this  fact  has  been  to  a 
great  extent  overlooked. 

The  vVilkes  pacers  of  the  fastest  class  are  whales  in 
the  racehorse  line,  their  numbers  embracing  Dan 
Patch,  Dariel,  John  R.  Gentry,  Joe  Patchen,  Ana- 
conda, Coney,  John  M.,  Audubon  Boy,  Bumps, Search- 
light, Frank  Agan,  Locanda,  Online,  Nervolo,  Little 
Squaw,  and  Guionette.  The  Tom  Hal  family  had 
eight  in  the  2:05  list,  all  pacers,  beginning  with  Star 
Pointer  1:59}  and  ending  with  Morning  Star  2:04|. 
Not  one  of  the  2:05  Hal  horses  but  is  or  was  a  high 
class  racehorse,  as  aside  from  the  two  mentioned  there 
are  Fanny  Dillard,  Augus  Pointer,  Hal  B,  Hal  Pointer, 
Hal  Dillard  and  Star  Hal  in  the  list. 

People  who  have  been  to  the  races  for  the  last 
decade  or  so  will  appreciate  what  giants  among  pacers 
these  horses  were.  I  have  seen  Star  Hal  race  five 
heats  with  hardly  a  leg  under  him,  and  every  one  in 
the  list  has  shown  time  and  again  the  gam?cock  quali- 
ties that  only  great  horses  can  have.  It  does  not 
seem  probable  that  the  Hals  will  breed  on  as  some 
other  families  have  done  and  are  doing,  but  the  Hal 
strain  in  a  pedigree  is  refined  gold  if  it  comes  through 
a  member  of  the  family  that  is  in  the  2:05  list.  It  is 
a  great  pity  that  so  good  a  mare  as  Fanny  Dillard  was 
sold  to  go  abroad,  as  she  would  have  been  invaluable 
here  in  the  broodmare  ranks.  Her  brother  Hal  B., 
has  just  been  sold  to  go  to  Oregon.  His  record  is  2:04  J, 
while  that  of  the  mare  is  2:03^,  both  marks  obtained 
In  races.  The  mare  that  produced  these  two  really 
great  pacers  was  by  a  son  of  Blue  Bull,  a  horse  whose 
blood  is  not  often  seen  in  latter  day  pedigrees,  because 
his  sons  do  uot  maintain  the  family  reputation  in  the 
way  of  getting  speed  and  his  daughters  have  passed 
away. 

The  Strathmore  family  has  five  in  the  2:05  list,  of 
which  only  one,  Lou  Dillon,  is  a  trotter.  This  is 
natural,  as  Strathmore  was  a  pacing  built  horse  and  a 
natural  pacer.  His  best  work  as  a  sire  of  speed  has 
been  In  the  line  of  pacers,  and  taking  all  these  facts 
Into  consideration  the  chances  are  that  Lou  Dillon 
gets  her  trotting  inclination  from  the  Happy  Medium 
strain  in  her  pedigree,  as  that  is  the  most  potent  b'.oodi 
when  it  comes  to  tho  production  of  pure  trotting  speed, 
In  the  combination.  Tho  controversy  over  tho  female 
lines  of  Lou  Dillon's  pedigree  continues  to  rage  with 
unabated  fury.  Sam  Gamble,  an  old  time  California 
horseman,  and  a  well  posted  man  on  all  subjects  relat- 
ing to  tho  American  trotter,  discredits  the  Black  I'h  - 
log  Cloud  end  of  the  Lou  Dillon  pedigree  und  tries  to 
show  that  tho  second  dam  of  the  chestnut  mare 
was  a  John  Nelson.     His  case,    ho  nothing 

like  as  strong  as  that  of  the  Black  Plyii. 
enthusiasts. 

Almonl  family  has   thr>  'ativeB, 

all  pacers,  wlih  Frank  Bogash  at  the  head.  He  was 
by  Atlantic  King,  a  bod  of  Atlantic,  the  last  named 
hoise  being  at  und   simple.     He  was  a 

horse  of  (air  speed,  taking  a  record  ol  2:^. 
wvaele,and  won  a  number  of  good  races  ui 
management  of  the  late  James  <;»ld .-ml if. 


taiion  was  a  decided  loss  to  American  breeding  in. 
terests,  as  his  blood  has  shown  its  quality  on  more 
than  ore  occasion.  Flying  Jib  and  Chehalis,  both 
bred  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  are  the  other  2:05  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Almont  blood,  and  they  were  extra 
good  horses  in  their  day,  '-The  Jib"  especially  being 
a  wonder  for  speed,  and  probably  the  best  gentleman's 
road  horse  that  overlooked  through  a  bridle. 

The  Dictators  have  three  in  the  2:05  list— Directly, 
Direct  Hal  atd  Nathan  Strauss,  pacers.  The  first 
two  of  the  trio  were  great  racehorses,  and  both  are 
likely  to  become  prominent  as  sires.  Directly  was  a 
champion  two-year-old  with  a  mark  of  2:07J.  Nathan 
Strauss  is  unique  among  pacers  from  the  fact  that 
both  his  sire  and  dam  were  fast  trotters,  he  being  by 
Director  2:17  and  out  of  Mary  Marshall  ?:12i.  There 
was  a  pacing  streak  in  the  femaielines  of  his  pedigree, 
however,  as  May  Marshall,  sister  to  Mary,  was  fast 
at  the  pace,  beating  2:10  with  ease,  although  she 
wore  the  hobbles. 

The  Robert  McGregor  and  Woodford  Mambrino 
families  have  two  each  in  the  2:05  list,  and  each  fur- 
nished a  world's  champion  trotter,  Cresceus being  the 
best  of  the  McGregors  and  Alix  of  the  Woodford 
Mambrinos.  The  only  other  family  to  be  represented 
in  the  2:05  table  is  that  of  Belmont  with  two  pacers, 
Carl  Wilkes  and  Indiana. — Chicago  Tribune. 


The  Trotting  Bred  High  Actor. 

W.  D.  Grand  attributes  the  unprecedented  success 
of  the  hackneys  in  the  National  Horse  Show  this 
winter  ta  the  continued  destruction  of  native  trotting 
bred  stallions  of  the  heavy  harness  type,  so  many  of 
which  have  been  withdrawn  from  the  stud  to  be  con- 
verted into  high  stepping  show  horses,  says  the  Horse 
World.  "The  foundation  stock  has  been  so  nearly 
wiped  out  that  I  doubt  whether  the  breed  can  be  re- 
vived," said  Mr.  Grand,  but  it  is  doubtful  if  those 
who  have  looked  closely  into  the  sources  of  supply 
from  which  the  trotting  bred  show  horses  have  come 
will  agree  with  him.  In  the  first  place,  there  has  been 
no  organized  effort  to  establish  a  breed  of  high  step- 
ping trotting  bred  horses.  The  famous  show  horses 
which  have  represented  the  trotting  bred  families  in 
the  show  ring  have  come  from  all  branches  of  the 
trotting  family  and  from  all  sections  of  the  country. 
Not  until  the  last  three  or  four  years  have  the 
breeders  of  trotting  horses  given  much  thought  to 
the  production  of  high  actors  and  the  results  of  any 
efforts  they  may  have  made  in  that  direction  are  yet 
to  be  seen.  That  there  are  plenty  of  trotting  bred 
stallions  and  mares  qualified  to  produce  high  actors 
no  one  can  doubt  who  has  any  practical  knowledge  of 
the  American  trotter.  The  mating  of  these  stallions 
and  mares  with  the  object  of  getting  high-acting  har- 
ness horses  would  certainly  result  in  success  in  a  satis- 
factory degree,  and  with  the  mating  of  the  nest 
generation  a  strain  of  high-acting  trotting  bred  har- 
ness horses  will  have  been  pretty  well  established.  A 
few  breeders  will  do  this,  and  others  will  put  enough 
stress  on  action  and  its  value  in  the  market  to  pay 
some  attention  to  the  production  of  horses  possessing 
it  in  a  degree  that  will  make  them  desirable  for  show 
purposes.  If,  without  any  effort  to  produce  high 
actors  the  breeders  of  trotters  have  produced  the 
greater  number  of  the  blue  ribbon  winners  in  the  big 
shows  for  the  last  five  or  six  years  as  they  unquestion- 
ably have,  is  it  not  unreasonable  to  believe  now  with 
many  breeders  giving  more  or  less  attention  to  the 
production  of  horses  of  this  class  that  a  still  larger 
number  will  be  produced? 


zuthorities.  It  is,  however,  unfortunate  that  some  of 
our  best  citizers,  md  they  are  pre-eminently  the  class 
that  is  interested  in  the  development  of  tbeonly  essen  - 
tial  national  horse  we  have,  the  American  trotter, 
should  be  placed  in  the  position  where  tfbey  are  will- 
fully and  knowingly  breaking  the  laws  of  the  country. 
Unfortunate  as  it  may  prove  to  be  for  those  who  are 
indentified  with  the  legitimate  breeding  and  racing  of 
the  thoroughbred  horse  the  only  hope  for  the  business 
as  a  whole  is  that  this  mush-room  legislation  may  so 
limit  and  confine  racing,  with  ;ts  gambling  adjunct, 
to  proportions  that  will  so  appeal  to  the  reason  of  the 
sport  loving  Anglo-Saxon  race  as  to  eventually  win 
their  representatives  at  the  various  State  Capitols. 

In  the  progress  of  the  evolution  toward  this  end  it 
is  to  be  hoped  that  trotting  horse  men  and  trotting 
track  managers  will  not  lose  their  heads,  as  is  illus- 
trated' in  the  case  of  the  management  at  Moberly, 
Mo.,  whose  representative,  A.  C.  Dingle,  at  the  recent 
meetings  of  the  fair  associations  of  Missouri  stated 
that  the  bill  making  pool  selling  a  felony  recently 
passed  by  the  Missouri  State  Legislature  at  there- 
quest  of  Governor  Folk- had  caused  them  to  declaie 
their  meeting  for  1905  off,  and  to  withdraw  from  the 
Missouri  grand  circuit.  This  is,  indeed,  unfortunate 
as  Moberly  has  one  of  the  best  mile  tracks  in  the  state, 
as  well  as  a  fine  half-mile  training  track,  and  the  blow 
will  be  keenly  felt  by  campaigning  horsemen  as  well 
as  other  members  of  the  circuit.  It  will  be  my  privi- 
lege this  summer  to  manage  the  meeting  to  be  held 
at  the  Lake  Contrary  track,  St.  Joseph.  Mo.,  and  if 
there  is  no  loophole  in  the  law  that  will  permit  of 
pool  selling  at  these  races  I  shall  certainly  not  attempt 
to  violate  the  law,  for  I  am  satisfied  that  successful 
meetings  can  be  held  without  the  betting  privilege. 
The  course  adopted  by  the  Moberly  association  is  un- 
doubtedly an  eloquent  protest  against  the  law,  yet  I 
doubt  the  wisdom  of  the  plan,  as  it  has  the  effect  of 
making  people  believe  that  betting  is  absolutely 
essential  to  the  horse  game.  While  the  revenue  from 
this  source  is  considerable  it  would  be  particularly 
unfortunate  to  let  the  impression  go  abroad  that  har- 
ness horse  meetings  would  be  a  failure  without  it. 
Trotting  horse  men  all  over  the  country  should  make 
an  earnest  effort  to  make  the  best  of  a  bad  situation, 
strong  in  the  faith  that  the  conditions  will  eventually 
adjust  themselves  in  a  way  that  will  prove  only  to  the 
best  interests  of  the  sport  of  racing  both  harness 
horses  and  the  thoroughbreds. 


No  Real  Foundation. 


Palmer  Clark,  founder  of  the  Chicago  Horse  Review 
writes  as  follows  in  regard  to  theMissouri  anti-betting 
law: 

At  last  the  ceaseless  grind  of  hippodrome  perform- 
ances yclept  horse  racing,  in  the  vicinity  of  nearly  all 
the  large  cities,  is  reaping  what  it  has  sown,  and  the 
pity  of  it  all  is  that  the  legitimate  sport  of  harness 
horse  racing  will  bave  to  bear  the  brunt  of  the  punish- 
ment meted  out  and  intended  for  the  running  horse 
merry-go-rounds,  as  there  is  no  way  that  any  distinc- 
tion can  be  madein  thelaw;  enacted  for  theeradiction 
of  this  overgrown,  pernicious  gambling  evil  without 
inviting  a  breach  of  tho  constitutional  provision  as  to 
iMslation.  Nearly  every  State  Legislature  in 
thecountry  where  running  horse  races  flourish  either 
has  enacted  hostile  legislation,  or  is  engaged  in  the 
process,  SO  that  from  all  quarters  is  coming  the  plaint 
that  harness  horse  racing  is  likely  to  be  legislated  out 
of  existence.  There  may  be  more  outcry  than  is 
ely  necessary, as  America  is  noted  for  the  num- 
ber  "f  laws  on  her  statute  books  that  are  more  honored 
iu  the  breach  than  in  the  observance,  and  as  a  con- 
ice  the  three  to  six  days'  racing  once  a  year  at 
tho  county  fairs,  etc.,  for  trotters  and  pacers  is  likely 
to  continue  without  any  serious  interference  by   the 


Barnes  Get  Judgment  for  $30,000. 

Col.  William  S.  Barnes,  proprietor  of  the  famous  Mel- 
bourne Stud,  was  awarded  $30,000  damages  against  the 
Long  Island  Railroad  Company  in  the  Supreme  Court, 
at  New  York,  because  of  the  defendant  company's 
careless  handling  of  twenty-nine  head  of  yearlings) 
which  Mr.  Barnes  shipped  in  May,  1902,  to  the  Sbeeps- 
head  Bay  race  track.  The  yearlings  were  to  be  sold  at 
auction.  In  transit  from  Long  Island  City  to  the  race 
track,  testimony  was  introduced  to  show  that  the  two 
ear-loadB  of  horses  were  run  over  a  spur  of  the  Long 
Island  railroad,  from  which  the  rails  had  been  removed 
for  a  week.  Of  courBe  the  cars  were  derailed  and  the 
yearlings  were  so  shaken  up  that  when,  they  were  put 
up  for  sale  they  were  suffering  from  nervous  pros- 
tration, absolutely  worthless  as  race  horses,  and  sold 
for  a  tithe  of  their  original  value. 

The  case  was  tried  for  Col.  Barnes  by  former  United 
States  Senator  William  Lindsay,  and  associated  with 
him  were  Kalish,  Kraemer  &  Palmer,  of  New  York. 
Counsel  for  the  Railroad  Company  was  William  E. 
Beecher,  a  son  of  Henry  Ward  Beecher. 

John  E  Madden,  an  authority  on  the  value  of  race 
horses,  was  the  principal  witness  for  Colonel  Barnes. 
He  testified  that  he  would  have  given  $30  000  en  bloc 
for  the  twenty-nine  head  of  yearliugs  as  he  saw  them  at 
the  Melbourne  Stud  just  previous  to  their  shipment  to 
New  York,  but  when  they  were  put  up  for  sale  at 
Sheepshead  Bav  he  would  not  have  given  $100  a  head 
for  them. 

Thomas  Hughes,  a  well  known  owner  and  trainer, 
testified  that  he  had  examined  the  yearlings  after  their 
arrival  at  Sheepshead  Bay.  He  described  their  condi_ 
tion,  saying  that  as  a  result  of  the  derailing  of  the  cars 
the  horses  were  in  a  similar  condition  to  a  person  suffer- 
ing from  nervous  prostration.  He  Eaid  they  were  abso- 
lutely worthless  as  race  horses  and  that  the  knowledge 
of  the  experience  the  horses  had  been  through  made 
prospective  purchasers  at  the  6ale  suspicious  that  the 
horses  had  suffered  internal  injuries  and  were  unfit  for 
racing  purposes.  • 

The  yearlings,  according  to  the  appraisement  of  ex- 
perts, were  worth  over  $30  000  when  slipped,  and  they 
brought  only  $8000  when  placed  on  sale  after  the  acci- 
dent. Colonel  Barnes  brought  suit  for  $50,000  damages, 
with  interest,  making  the  total  judgment  asked  about 
$52,000.

A  correspondent  of  the  Suisun  Republican  recently 
visited  Dixon  and  wrote  as  follows  about  the  horses 
in  training  there: 

IN  MANNIE  REAMS'  STABLES. 

Among  the  horses  in  Mannie  Reams'  string-  are  the 
following:  A  handsome  black  gelding  owned  by  Ray 
Bennett  of  Vacaville,  which  the  latter  had  used  as  a 
road  horse  for  two  years  prior  to  placing  him  in  the 
trainer's  hands.  The  horse  is  as  spepdy  as  he  is  well 
bred.  Last  Friday  he  trotted  a  half-mile  in  1:10}, 
making  the  second  quarter  in  0:34£.  Mr.  Bennett's 
gelding  is  a  eon  of  Oro  Belmont,  by  Oro  Wilkes.  His 
dam  was  Muscovia,  the  dam  of  Mamie  R.  He  will  be 
one  of  the  contestants  in  the  buggy  horse  race  May 
Day 

Mr.  Reams  is  working  three  horses  owned  by  resi- 
dents of  the  Montezuma  hills.two  of  them  being  three- 
year-old  Demonios  belonging  to  Horatio  Muzzy  and 
the  other  a  bay  mare  five  years  old  belonging  to 
Julian  Hoyt.  One  of  the  Muzzy  colts  is  a  brown 
stallion  out  of  a  Gossiper  mare-  After  some  prelimin- 
ary work  at  the  Muzzy  farm  he  was  given  into  Mr. 
Reams'  hands  a  little  over  two  weeks  ago.  He  paced 
a  quarter  in  38}  seconds  with  perfect  ease.  The  other 
Demonio  colt  is  a  sorrel  gelding,  a  natural  gaited 
pacer.  His  quarter  was  stepped  in  40  seconds.  While 
there  was  a  difference  of  opinion  expressed  as  to  which 
is  the  better  prospect,  the  spectators  present  all  were 
of  the  opinioa  that  they  both  will  develop  extreme 
speed,  and  will  add  to  the  fame  of  their  sire,  Damonio. 
Mr.  Hoyt  purchased  his  mare  two  years  ago  at  the 
Meek  sale.  She  was  bred  at  the  Meek  stock  farm  at 
Haywards.  Her  sire  is  William  Harold  by  Sidney, 
and  her  dam  by  Richard's  Elector.  Mr  Hoyt  is  not 
in  the  racing  business  and  has  no  intention  of  entering 
the  mare  in  any  race,  but  she  is  certainly  a  fast  one 
and  one  of  the  very  best  on  the  Dixon  track.  When 
taken  there  two  months  ago  she  was  not  gaited  at  all. 
With  but  a  little  more  than  a  month's  actual  training 
ahe  paced  a  quarter  in  37  seconds. 

Mr.  Reams  has  fourteen  in  his  string,  eight  of  which 
were  sired  by  Demonio.  The  fastest  is  Miss  Wynn, 
trial  2:12  She  is  owned  by  Rush  &  Haile  and  has 
been  given  only  slow  work  thus  far.  They  also  own 
Memonio,  who  paced  a  mile  last  year  in  2:28  as  a  two- 
year-old.  Mr.  Reams  is  getting  this  filly  in  fine  shape 
for  fast  work.  He  Is  also  working  the  hay  geldiDg, 
Ringrose,  Emil  Hollings'  fast  pacer,  which  was  en- 
tered in  the  buggy-horse  race  He  has  already  shown 
a  half  in  1:10  and  can  undoubtedly  do  a  mile  better 
than  2:20. 

Some  of  the  others  in  Mr.  Reams  stables  are  his 
three-year-old  mare,  Gracie  R.,  Ivanhoe,  a  green  one, 
and  a  two-yei3r-old  Dictatus  colt  owned  by  Horigan 
and  Raams.  The  last  named  and  Gracie  R.  will  be 
seen  in  the  races  May  Day. 

WALTER  TREFRY  STRING. 

There  are  eight  in  the  stable  of  Walter  Trefry, 
who  is  proving  himself  a  good  trainer.  He  has  been 
working  a  road  horse  owned  by  William  Pierce  since 
the  first  of  February  and  has  him  entered  in  the 
buggy  race.  Mr.  Pierce  purchased  this  animal  at  the 
Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  sale  two  years  ago.  He  is  a 
bay  gelding  named  Antonio  and  is  by  Antone,  a  son 
ol  Dexter  Prince.  His  dam  is  Favor  by  Walstein.  He 
paced  a  half  mile  in  1:09.  Mr.  Trefry  is  also  working 
the  bay  gelding,  Little  Joe,  by  Diablo,  dam  May  by 
Wildidle  He  has  shown  a  half  in  1:07|  and  is  next  to 
Miss  Wynn  in  speed.  The  others  in  Mr.  Trefy's 
string  are,  a  fast  bay  mare  by  Don  Marvin,  owned  by 
Al  Robben;  Henry  Robben's  two-year-old  colt,  Smiley 
by  Bayswater  Wilkes,  entered  in  the  two-year-old 
stake;  Fred  Hackman,  a  three-year-old;  Falrose,  a 
two-year-old  Dictatus  colt,  both  also  owned  by  Henry 
Robben;  August  Fischer's  four-year-old  black  gelding 
and  George  McCann,  three-year-old  by  Falrose,  both 
excellent  prospects. 

OTHER   TRACK  NOTES. 

E.  D.  N  Lehe,  proprietor  of  the  Dixon  Electric 
Light  Works,  owns  a  fine  looking  bay  filly,  two  years 
old  by  Zombro,  dam  by  Reliance,  which  Is  just  being 
broken  by  Lou  Matavia.  She  shows  indications  of 
speed.  Mr  Matavia  is  the  owner  of  the  handsome 
black  stallion,  Alton  by  Altamount,  who  has  shown 
him  a  mile  in  2:25  hitched  to  a  road  cart.  A  splendid 
cut  cf  Alton  appeared  on  the  front  page  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  two  weeks  ago. 

Two  Dixon  residents  have  horses  in  training  at 
Pleasanton.  One  is  Mona  Wilkes,  owned  by  James 
Marshal.  She  is  by  Demonio  and  worked  a  mile  in 
1904  at  two  years  old  in  2:17.  The  other  one  is  a  two- 
year-old  Diablo  filly  owDed  by  Del  Dudley.  She  is 
entered  in  the  Futurity  stake  and  is  credited  with 
having  worked  the  fastest  mile  shown  by  a  two-year- 
old  at  Pleasanton  this  year.  Messrs.  Dudley  and 
Marshall  visited  Pleasanton  two  weeks  ago. 

Among   the   visitors  at  the  Dixon  track  last  Friday 


to  witness  the  workouts  were  Julian  Hoyt  and  Hora- 
tio Muzzy  of  Birds  Landing,  Frank  H.  Clark  of 
Elmira  and  George  McLeod  of  San  Francisco.

State  Law  About  Autos. 


The  new  State  law  governing  and  regulating  the 
running  of  -'benzine  buggies"  went  into  effect  on  the 
22d  of  this  month. 

The  important  feature  of  ths  law  is  that  it  does 
away  with  prohibitive  legisiation  on  the  part  of 
Boards  of  Supervisors  of  various  counties.  County 
officials  may  regulate  the  speed  of  automobiles,  but 
except  under  stipulated  rules  any  such  legislation 
must  apply  to  all  vehicles  and  in  no  way  can  the  limit 
of  speed  on  public  highways  be  made  more  than 
twenty  miles  an  hour. 

Automobiles  are  permitted  upon  all  public  highways 
except  such  as  are  by  law  limited  to  horses  and  light 
carriages,  but  may  be  excluded  from  any  cemetery. 

After  April  22d  owners  must  have  a  registration 
certificate  from  the  Secretary  of  State,  and  registered 
number  for  care,  for  which  a  fee  of  $2  will  be  charged. 

Cars  must  be  provided  with  two  lamps  carrying 
white  light  in  front,  which  must  be  lighted  at  all 
times  when  running  an  hour  after  sunset  and  an  hour 
before  sunrise.  These  lamps  must  bear  the  number 
of  the  car  in  figures  not  less  than  one  inch  high.  Cars 
must  also  have  one  rear  lamp  carrying  a  red  light. 

Speed  will  be  regulated  as  follows: 

Four  miles  an  hour  on  approaching  a  dam,  sharp 
curve,  bridge  or  sharp  descent  and  while  on  the  same. 

Ten  miles  an  hour  in  business  sections  of  cities  and 
towns  where  the  houses  average  less  than  100  feet 
apart  for  distances  not  less  than  one-quarter  of  a  mile, 
provided  suitable  signs  are  placed  by  the  authorities 
in  such  residence  section. 

Fifteen  miles  an  hour  in  incorporated  cities  and 
towns  outside  of  business  sections  and  sections  where 
suitable  signs  are  placed.  Twenty  miles  an  hour  out- 
side of  incorporated  towns. 

Local  authorities  may  limit  the  speed  of  automo- 
biles in  public  parks  or  on  the  parkways,  but  must  in 
that  event  place  signs  at  the  entrance  of  such  park  o  • 
or  along  such  parkways  indicating  the  speed  per' 
mitted. 

In  case  of  accident,  drivers  must  come  to  a  full  stop 
and  give  the  nameaod  address  of  tbeownerof  the  car. 

Now,  if  one  of  the  "benzine  buggies"  runs  over  you, 
by  referring  to  the  above  you  will  know  whether  the 
thing  was  done  legally  or  not. 


At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Illinois-Towa  Circuit, 
held  at  Sterling,  111.,  the  following  dates  were  claimed:

trot,  2:15  pace,  2:20  pace.  2:30  pace,  all  to  be  stake

Angeles,  and   a   big   majority    of   them   are  trotters. 

Zomhro  will  make  the  entire  season   of    1905  at   Los 

Angelee. 

The  May  Day  celebration  at  Dixon  next  Monday 
will  be  worth  attending.  A  fine  racing  program  has 
been  arrange!  for  the  afternoon,  and  there  will  he  an 
auction  sah'  in  the  forenoon,  so  horsemen  will  be  well 
entertained. 

Willard  Zibbell  took  a  string  of   five   trotters  and 
pacers  to  San  Jose  last  week  and  will   prepare  them 
for  tho  California  circuit.     He  has  some  that 
will  b"  getting  a  portion  of  the  money  when  distribu- 
tion day  comes  around. 

Princess  of  Monaco,  the  mare  by  the  thoroughbred 
horse  Meddler,  and  out  of  famous  Nancy  Har  ; 
recently  dropped  a  bay  colt  by  Blngen  2:06)  at  Hill 
and  D  ile  Farm.  Princess  of  Monaco's  two-year-old  is 
a  lillj  by  Peter  the  Great,  and  her  yearling  is  also  a 
Blly  but  by  Blngen.  The  two-year-old  is  a  very 
-ing  trotter  and  trainer  John  Dickerson  thinks 
it  deal  of  her. 


If  the  purses  for  the  July  meeting  at  Los  Angeles 
fill  well,  those  offered  for  the  November  meeting  there 
will  be  still  more  liberal.  The  Los  Angeles  Harness 
Horse  Association  intends  doing  everything  in  its 
power  to  make  the  opening  meeting  of  the  California 
circuit  a  success  in  every  way,  and  it  deserves  the 
assistance  of  every  person  connected  with  harness 
horse  affairs  in  any  way. 


As  a  general  thing  drivers  accept  the  situation 
philosophically  when  the  red  flag  drops  in  their  face 
at  the  end  of  a  heat,  but  there  are  those  who  do 
enough  cussing  to  start  a  team  of  balky  mules  when 
this  thing  happens  It  may  assuage  the  feelings  of 
those  who  get  the  flag  this  year  if  they  are  informed 
that  Ed  Geers  got  the  flag  no  less  than  nine  times  last 
season,  and  did  not  make  any  roar  about  it  either. 


A  sale  of  a  large  number  of  horses  trained  for  ladies' 
use  is  to  be  one  of  the  features  of  the  New  York  equine 
world  this  spring.  So  general  has  equestrian  exercise 
become  among  the  rich  women  of  New  York  that  all 
the  dealers  have  orders  for  more  ladies'  mounts  than 
they  can  procure.  Theidea  therefore  struck  a  Western 
firm  that  it  would  be  a  paying  strike  to  place  on  the 
market  at  one  time  a  large  number  of  well  mannered 
horses  "quiet  in  ladies' hands1'  and  no  doubt  ie  en- 
tertained of  the  success  of  the  venture. 


Walter  Mastln,  who  recently  removed  his  string  of 
horses  from  Sacramento  to  Woodland,  is  training 
several  that  will  be  entered  on  the  California  circuit 
this  year.  Marvin  Wilkes,  that  took  a  three-year- 
old  record  of  2:18  last  year  is  growing  into  one  of  the 
grandest  looking  young  stallions  on  the  Coast,  and 
will  be  bred  to  a  limited  Dumber  of  mares  this  year. 
Mr  Mastin  is  working  among  others,  Penrose  2:184, 
Daken  D.  2:16}  and  three  or  four  green  ones  by  Knight, 
Daedalion  and  Falrosethat  are  excellent  prospects. 


Word  comes  from  the  Barstow  Stock  Farm  at  San 
Jose  that  Nearest  2:228,  own  brother  to  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron  2:04},  is  doing  well  in  the  stud  this  year,  and 
his  get  are  showing  as  much  speed  as  can  be  seen  any- 
where. Alone  2:09}  is  in  fine  shape  and  Higbflv  and 
Just  It  display  two  minute  speed  every  time  they  are 
worked  out. 

Pleasanton  2:30,  by  Richard 's  Elector  out  of  Belle 
Tanascon  by  Tarascon,  died  at  Auckland,  New  Zeal- 
and, last  month.  His  progeny  are  well  thought  of 
there.  His  sire,  Richard's  Elector,  died  at  Grayson, 
California,  about  the  same  time  Richard's  Elector 
was  the  sire  of  a  number  of  good  horses  and  for  tbe 
opportunities  he  had  proved  himself  a  worthy  descend- 
ant of  the  immortal  Electioneer. 


One  of  the  handsomest  weanling  fillies  in  California 
is  at  W.  A.  Clark's  farm  near  San  Mateo.  Its  breeding 
is  ultra  fashionable,  being  sired  by  Nutwood  Wilkes 
2:16}  out  of  Ruth  Mary  by  Directum  2:05};  second  dam 
Tuna  2:124  by  Ethan  Allen  Jr.  473;  third  dam  Fortuna 
by  Almont;  fourth  dam  Frances  Breckenridge  by 
Sentinel  280,  etc.  If  there  is  anything  that  should 
warrant  a  youngs*er  being  a  good  one  it  is  the  excel- 
lent bloodlines  and  perfect  conformation  of  thisfilly. 

The  Sacramento  Bee  says  in  a  recent  issue:  "Albert 
Lindley,  Secretary  of  the  State  Agricultural  Asso- 
ciation, is  sending  personal  letters  to  stockmen,  horse- 
men and  exhibitors  generally,  calliDg  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  State  Fair  is  now  a  State  institution  in 
fact  as  well  as  in  name,  and  will  henceforth  be  con- 
ducted on  a  cash  basis,  there  being  ample  funds  with 
which  to  meet  its  obligations.  He  calls  particular 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  Fair  Grounds  will  be 
entirely  new,  with  handsome  modern  stables  for  the 
shelter  of  livestock." 


Dr.  H.  J.  Ring  of  Ferndale,  Humboldt  county,  is 
the  owner  of  a  very  handsome  five-year-old  stallion 
that  he  has  named  Waldmore.  He  is  by  Waldstein, 
and  out  of  Gempsy  by  Grand  Moor,  second  dam  by 
Rifleman,  thoioughbred.  He  is  a  natural  trotter, 
but  was  trained  a  little  at  the  pace  last  season  and 
entered  in  a  race  at  the  Ferndale  fair,  which  he  won 
as  he  pleased  in  slow  time.  He  has  paced  eighths  in 
17  seconds.  Waldmore  stands  16  hands  and  weighs 
1200  pounds.  He  will  be  put  in  training  again  in  July 
this  year  and  will  probably  be  raced  in  trotting  events. 


A  stallion  show  is  announced  to  take  place  at  the 
San  Jose  race  track  on  Saturday  afternoon,  May  6th, 
at  2  o'clock.  Mr.  Granger,  the  president  of  the  new 
organization  that  has  taken  over  the  management  of 
this  track,  states  that  stalls  will  be  provided  for  all 
stallions  brought  to  San  Jose  and  shown  in  the  parade. 
and  that  every  thing  will  be  done  to  make  the  show  a 
success.  There  are  many  well  bred  trotting,  thorough- 
bred, Percheron,  Belgian,  Clyde  and  coach  stallions 
in  Santa  Clara  and  adjoining  counties,  and  the  invita- 
tion is  extended  to  all  owners  to  bring  their  horses 
and  take  part  in  the  parade  which  will  be  held  at  2 
o'clock  p.  m.  

There  is  excellent  pasturage  at  the  Nutwood  Stock 
Farm,  Irvington,  and  the  mares  and  colts  are  looking 
fat  and  slick  as  moles.  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16}  is  in 
fine  shape  and  has  been  bred  to  quite  a  number  of 
fine  mares  already.  The  class  of  mares  this  great 
sire  is  getting  improves  with  every  year  and  he  has 
not  yet  sired  his  fastest  trotter,  although  his  son 
John  A.  McKerron  2:04}  is  the  fastest  trotter  of  all 
the  Wilkes  tribe.  There  will  yet  come  a  trotter  Irom 
the  loins  of  Nutwood  Wilkes  that  will  trot  in  two 
minutes.  Any  horse  that  sires  such  a  uniform  high 
rate  of  speed  as  he  does  will  get  one  two-minute 
trotter  and  perhaps  more  than  one 


Petigru  2:10}  has  been  sent  back  to  Los  Angeles. 
W.  G.  Durfee,  who  own6  this  magnificent  stalliOD,  has 
two  good  reasons  for  closiDg  his  season  at  San  Jose 
and  taking  him  back  to  his  Los  Angeles  home.  In 
the  first  place  he  wants  to  train  him  for  the  2:11  and 
faster  classes  of  the  California  circuit,  and  in  the 
second  place  there  are  quite  a  number-  of  breeders  in 
the  southern  part  of  the  State  who  have  requested 
that  Petigru  be  brought  back  that  they  might  breed 
their  mares  to  him.  As  C.  H.  Durfee  has  the  three 
good  stallions  Coronado  2:12},  Almaden  2:22}  and 
Galindo,  he  can  spare  Petigru  from  his  striDg  and  the 
the  change  of  program'  will  not  inconvenience  any- 
one. Petigru  is  certainly  one  of  the  grandest  looking 
stallions  ever  seen  in  California  and  that  he  will  sire 
extreme  speed  is  certain.  He  will  have  some  of  the 
choicest  mares  in  Southern  California  sent  to  him 
this  year.  As  he  is  a  perfectly  sound  horse  in  every 
way  the  chances  are  excellent  for  a  reduction  of  Mb 
record  this  year,  and  his  owner  desires  to  give  him  as 
low  a  mark  as  possible  before  permanently  retiring 
him.

beetles  (Elaterids  and  Tenebrionids)  were  apparently 
preferred  to  the  long-horn  beetles  (Cerambycids). 
On  one  occasion  a  basin  of  water  was  placed  in  the 
cage  containing  several  Carabids  (Harpalus  caligino- 
sus  and  H.  pennsylvanicus),  one  Ctrambycid  (Typo- 
ceru9  sinuatus),  one  potato  beetle  (Doryphora  10- 
linnata),  anotber  Chrysomelid  (Chrysochrus  auratus), 
one  black  cricket,  one  large  hairy  caterpillar,  and  a 
large  milleped  (Julus).  The  milleped  was  taken  first, 
the  Carabids  next,  and  finally  all  the  insects  were 
eaten  except  the  Chrysomelids  and  the  cricket. 

Very  large  hard  beetles,  like  Alaus  oculatus,  Hydro- 
pbilus  triangularis,  and  Passalus  cornutus,  were  not 
often  touched,  but  in  default  of  other  insects  were 
torn  to  pieces  and  the  soft  parts  separated  from  the 
harder  portions.  Stink  bugs  (Pentatomids)  seemed 
to  be  relished,  but  hairy  caterpillars  were  only  taken 
after  most  of  the  hair  had  been  beaten  off.  Cocoons 
of  a  tussock  moth  were  torn  open  to  get  the  pupnj, 
and  the  large  green  warty  caterpillars  of  the  Ailan- 
thus  moth  were  eaten  but  with  no  great  relish.  In 
several  cases  spiders  were  selected  in  preference  to 
insects.  Myriapods  and  earthworms  were  eateD  less 
readily  than  sow  bugs  (Oniscus). 

The  bird  would  eat  corn  and  bprouted  acorns,  but 
did  not  seeo^  to  care  much  for  them.  It  ate  apples, 
blackberries,  and  black  raspberries,  but  rejected 
red  raspberries,  strawberries,  mulberries,  and  elder- 
berries; it  swallowed  the  pulp  of  grapes  only  after  re- 
moving the  skin  and  seeds,  and  also  ate  a  little  peach 
pulb,  but  without  great  relish. 

The  most  striking  point  in  the  study  of  the  food  of 
the  blue  jay  is  the  discrepancy  between  the  testimony 
of  field  observers  concerning  the  bird's  nest-robbing 
proclivities  and  the  results  of  stomach  examinations. 
The  accusations  of  eating  eggs  and  young  birds  are 
certainly  not  sustained,  and  it  is  futile  to  attempt  to 
reconcile  the  conflicting  statements  on  this  points 
which  must  be  left  until  more  accurate  observation, 
have  been  made.  In  destroying  insects  the  jay  un- 
doubtedly does  much  good.  Most  of  the  predaceous 
beetles  which  it  eats  do  not  feed  on  other  insects  to 
any  great  extent.  On  the  other  hand,  it  destroys 
some  grasshoppers  and  caterpillars  and  many  noxious 
beetles  such  as  SearabaMds,  click  beetles  (Elaterids). 
weevils  (Curculionids),  Buprestids,  Chrysomelids,  and 
Tenebrionids.  The  blue  jay  gathers  its  fruit  from 
nature's  orchard  and  vineyard,  not  from  man's;  corn 
is  the  only  vegetable  food  for  which  the  farmer  suf- 
fers any  lo  b,  and  here  the  damage  is  small.  In  fact, 
the  examination  of  nearly  300  stomachs  showed  that 
the  blue  jay  certainly  does  more  good  than  harm- 


three  events,  200  targets  each.  At  Omaha,  March  20, 
21  and  22,  Mr.  Gilbert  scored  191,  192  and  197  out  of  a 
possible  200.  At  St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  on  March  23,  24  and 
25,  Mr.  Gilbert  made  three  soores  of  196  each  out  of  a 
possible  200.  Mr.  Gilbert's  run  of  239  at  Des  Moines 
in  two  days  is  a  remarkable  performance  and  speaks 
volumes  for  the  Parker  gun.  In  the  history  of  trap 
shooting,  the  score  of  200  straight  in  a  program  event 
has  only  been  made  three  times,  and  Mr.  Gilbert  holds 
credit  for  two  of  these.  All  of  Mr.  Gilbert's  shooting 
has  been  done  with  the  Parker  gun,  and  he  uses  no 
other. 

Mr.  R.  E.  Stout,  of  Magnolia,  Dela.,  at  the  Dover 
Gun  Club,  March  27,  broke  19  out  of  20  singles,  and  18 
out  of  20  doubles.  Mr.  Stout  was  high  man  and  his 
shooting  was  done  with  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker 
gun.

certainly  very  creditable  and  a  remarkable  showing. 
For  the  three  days,  March  14,  15,  and  16,  Mr.  Gilbert 
broke  192,  19^  and  200  straight,  out  of  a  program   of 


TIME-TKIED     U.     M,     C.     LEADS. 

On  Sunday,  April  23d,  at  IngleBide,  at  the  "old- 
time"  shoot  of  the  Lincoln  Gun  Club  there  were  33 
shooters  present,  of  whom  25  were  users  of  U.  M.  C. 
"Magic,'  "Majestic,"  "Acme,"  and  "Monarch"shells. 
This  showing  is  only  proof  of  the  fact  that  the  present 
universal  and  unvarying  popularity  of  U.  M.  C.  pro- 
ducts is  not  of  recent  date,  nor  in  any  way  a  new 
matter,  but  is  built  on  a  foundation  of  reliability  and 
accuracy,  maintained  over  a  long  period  of  years. 
The  shooters  at  this  meeting  were  largely  of  the 
older  fraternity,  and  are  in  no  sense  temporary  users  of 
U.  M.C.  goods,  but  simply  find  that  the  standing  of 
this  famous  ammunition  is  and  has  been  fully  main- 
tained. In  these  days  of  keen  competition,  when 
even  old  and  tried  goods  are  found  to  fall  below 
standards  personally  established,  it  is  a  matter  of  con- 
gratulation to  see  that  the  U.  M.  C.  brand  still  stands 
for  all  it  has  represented  in  the  past,  and  has  kept 
steadily  up-to-date  in  every  minute  detail  which  could 
make  certainty  more  certain,  accuracy  and  reliability 
more  apparent. 

U.    M.    O.     VICTORIOUS    IN    THE    SOUTH. 

Sunday,  April  23d,  marked  the  closing  of  the  most 
successful  meeting  ever  held  by  the  Los  Angeles  Gun 
Club,  from  the  standpoint  of  the  largest  attendance 
ever  recorded  in  Southern  California.  There  were  64 
contestants,  and  of  this  number  45  used  TJ.  M.  C. 
"Magic,"  "Acme,"  "Majestic"  and  "Monarch"  shells. 
This  of  itself  is  a  showing  which  again  emphasizes 
the  value  of  these  goods,  which  represent  to  all 
sportsmen,  whether  for  use  in  the  field  or  at  the  traps, 
a  standard  of  perfection  not  equalled  by  any  other 
shells  before  the  shooting  public.  Emil  Holling  of 
San  Francisco,  using  a  Remington  shotgun,  was  high 
average  for  professional  shooters  for  the  two  days, 
his  average  being  91}  per  cent.  Following  this  show- 
ing was  the  marvelous  shooting  of  Louis  Breer,  Jr., 
of  Los  Angeles,  who  broke  80  straight,  using  TJ.  M.  C. 
"Magic"  shells.     Guy   Lovelace  was   winner  of    the 


ANOTHER    RUNAWAY    RACE. 

The  second  annual  tournament  of  the  Rocklin  Gun  ' 
Club,  held  at  Rocklin,  California,  on  the  23d  inst 
proved  to  be  one  of  the  largest  shooting  tournaments 
ever  held  in  Northern  California.  As  usual,  shooters 
of  Winchester  products  carried  off  the  honors  of  the 
tournament.  Of  the  eighty-six  shooters  contesting 
seventy-four  shot  Winchester  shells,  as  follows-  fiftv- 
two  used  the  "Leader"and  twenty-two  the"Repeater" 
shells.  Thirty-eight  shot  Winchester  "nump"guns 
The  Kimball-Upson  Co.  Trophy  was  cap'tured  by  f' 
J.  Ruhstaller,  on  the  splendid  score  of  20  straight 
with  a  Winchester  "pump"  gun  and  Winchester 
"Leader"  shells.  The  Gibson  Cup,  10  pairs,  doubles 
was  won  by  J.  W.  Humble,  with  18  out  of  the  possible 
20,  with  a  Smith  gun  and  Winchester  "header"shells 
The  five  man  team  trophy  was  won  by  the  Oroville 
team,  composed  of  Messrs.  Godfrey,  Derby  Snyder 
Hansen  and  Johnson,  67  out  of  the  possible' 75  Every 
man  in  this  team,  without  a  single  exception,  shot  the 
Winchester  make  of  shells,  and  in  connection  two  used 
Winchester  'pump"  guns.  The  only  three  straight 
Bcoresmadein  the  regular  program  events  of  the  day, 
were  made  by  shooters  who  shot  Winchester  shells, 
and  two  by  shooters  that  used  Winchester  "pump" 
guns.  F.  J.  Ruhstaller,  20  straight,  "pump"  and 
"Leaders  ';  W.  H.  Seaver,  20  straight,  "pump"  and 
'Leaders  and  D.  L.  Gray,  20  straight,  Smith  and 
"Repeaters."  High  average  of  the  tournament  was 
made  by  J.  W.  Godfrey  with  a  Smith  gun  and  Win- 
chester "Repeater"  shells.  106  out  of  the  possible  120 
After  the  close  of  the  regular  program  events,  the 
Rocklin  Gun  Club  championship  medal  was  shot  bv 
members  of  the  Rocklin  Gun  Club,  and  F.  La  Fond" 
with  a  score  of  18  out  of  a  possible  20,  was  the  winner'. 
Mr.  La  Fond  used  a  Smith  gun  and  Winchester 
"Repeater"  shells.

Dry  or  Wet  Feed  for  Cows. 

A  somewhat  unusual  experiment  was 
tried  at  the  college  (arm  with  two  small 
herds  of  milch  cows.  One  herd  received 
a  ration  of  barley-oats  and  oil  meal  d  ried , 
while  the  other  herd  wa9  given  a  ration 
of  bran  and  gluten  feed  wet.  The  cows, 
six  in  number,  were  fed  for  two  periods 
of  fourteen  days  each,  and  the  ration 
was  changed  at  about  the  end  of  the 
first  period.  On  the  ration  fed  wet,  the 
cowb  gave  a  daily  yield  of  114  pounds  of 
milk,  containing  3  88  per  cent  of  fat,  and 
the  ration  fed  dry,  a  daily  yield  of  1-16J 
pounds  of  milk,  testing  3:99  per  cent  of 
fat,  showing  an  increased  daily  yield  of 
butter  fat  in  favor  of  dry  feed. 

It  is  unfortunate  that  this  test  was 
not  made  with  the  same  materials  in 
both  cases.  It  is  generally  believed 
among  practical  dairymen  that  gluten 
meal  or  feed  is  a  better  milk  producer 
than  oil  meal,  although  the  composition 
of  the  materials  hardly  explains  the 
reason,  hence  the  difference  in  the  pro- 
duct may  possibly  be  due  to  the  differ- 
ence in  material  rather  than  to  the  mere 
fact  of  wetting  the  feed. 


you  will  have  hens  in  winter  when  it  pays 
well  to  have  them. 

If  the  cow  is  not  by  nature  a  heavy  and 
rich  milker,  all  the  balanced  rations  one 
can  prepare  will  not  make  her  such.  So 
with  the  hen.  She  will  only  return  for 
food  and  attention  up  to  her  original 
capacity. 

More  and  better  green  food  supply  and 
more  meat,  of  some  kind  are  wh  t  the 
hen  needs  for  winter  egg  production. 

As  to  what  ia  enough  green  food,  we 
would  say  all  they  will  eat.  Ab  to  the 
quantity  of  cut  bone  or  meat,  all  you  can 
afford  to  give  them  and  hold  a  profit  as 
against  a  possible  egg  yield  of  say  three 
eggB  per  week  per  hen. 

Give  them  of  animal  food  lesB  than  one- ! 
tenth  of  their  whole  ration  of  meat,  and 
from  this  up  to  one-fifth   of   their   whole  I 
ration  of  meat  as  cost  will  permit.

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  Union  Gun  Club  shoot  at  live  birds  is  the  card 
for  Ingleside  tomorrow.  Blue  rock  shooting  by  the 
Millwood  Gun  Club  members  will  take  place  at  Mill 
Valley  Junction.  

The  first  annual  tournament  of  the  Santa  Ana  Gun 
Club  was  held  on  Tuesday  and  Wednesday. 

On  the  23d  inst.  at  Ingleside,  there  took  place  a 
unique  and  interesting  shoot  given  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Lincoln  Gun  Club,  wtiich,  having  practically 
ceased  to  exist  as  an  organization,  yet  drew  together 
many  of  its  old  time  members. 

The  first  event  was  at  15  targets,  known  angles,  un- 
known traps,  one  man  up,  Rose  system.  Event  No.  2,

ville,  Woodland,  Fair  Oaks,  San  Francisco  and  Sacra- 
mento. The  Sacramento  contingent  who,  wifcu  their 
ladies  numbering  a  partv  of  nearly  100,  chartered  a 
special  train,  and  were  headed  by  a  "Reuben"  band 
under  the  direction  of  James  Contell,  that  at  various 
times  discoursed  hilariously  very  startling  and  in- 
harmonious music 

On  arrival  at  the  grounds  it  was  found  that  every 
comfort  for  the  visitors  had  been  provided.  Albert 
Elkus  was  chosen  President  of  tbe  day,  F,  W.  New- 
bert  Shooting  Master,  and  L.  S.  Upson  Clerk  of  the 
TournameDt.  Shooting  was  immediately  commenced 
for  the  nine  events  and  continued  until  dark. 

The  winners  in  the  various  event9  were  widely 
S3parated  as  to  residence  and  honor6  were  about 
evenly  iivided.  The  principal  winners  were  as  follows: 

F.  J.  Ruhstaller  of  Sacramento  won  tbe  Kimball- 
Upson  Company  trophy  with  20  straight  breaks.  G. 
W.  Gibson  of  Williams  won  the  Northern  California 
championship  after  shootiog  off  a  tie  with  Herald  and 
Godfrey.  The  Gibson  trophy  for  doubles  was  won  by 
J.  W  Humble  of  Sacramento  with  18  out  of  20  (10 
pairs)  shot  at.  J.  W.  Godfrey  of  Marysville  won  the 
high  average  with  106  out  of  120.  The  medal  for  Rock- 
lin  Gun  Club  members  only  was  taken  by  F.  La  Fond 
with  18  out  of  20.  Oroville  took  the  five-man  team 
shoot  at  15  targets  per  man  with  67  breaks. 

In  the  first  of  tbe  live  bird  events  Ruhstaller:  Gib- 
son, Troxel  and  H.  Davis  divider1  the  money.  The 
second  event  went  to  Ruhstaller,  Gibson  and  Troxel; 
the  third  event  was  takeD  by  Walker  and  Gibson; 
the  fourth  by  Walker  and  Troxel. 

The  highest  individual  winner  in  any  event  of  the 
day  was  J.  N.  Blair  of  Sacramento.  In  the  merchan- 
dise events  the  prizes  were  so  scattered  that  nearly 
every  town  in  Northern  California  proved  to  be  the 
home  of  a  winner.  When  return  train  time  came  tbe 
Rocklin  shooters  gave  the  visitors  a  hearty  farewell, 
and  announced  their  intention  of  coming  to  the  May 
SacramBn to  tournament  andshowingthe  "legislators" 
bow  to  shoot. 

We  regret  to  announce  the  passing  away,  this 
week,  of  Thomas  N.  Dunphy,  President  of  the  Vallejo 
Gun  Club.  Mr.  Dunphy  was  a  wholesouled  sports- 
man and  had  been  an  enthusiastic  moving  spirit  in 
tbe  affairs  of  the  Vallejo  club.  His  early  demise  is 
mourned  by  a  large  circle  of  friends  by  whom  he  was 
greatly  esteemed  for  many  sterling  qualities. 


The  Santa  Rosa  Gun  Club  shoot  last  Sunday  re- 
sulted in  the  following  scores: 

Medal  shoot,  side  pool — McCutchan  broke  19  birds 
out  of  25  at  20  yards;  MaoGregor  14-25,  20  yards; 
Fehrman  19-28,18  yards;  Hess  14-28,18  yards;  Ed- 
monds 14-28,  18  yards;  Morris,  18-30,  16  yard6;  Mead 
14-32,  14  yards;  Young  26-30,  16  yards;  Juilliard  15- 
28,  18  yards. 

J.  B  McCutchan  and  P.  Fehrman  tied  for  the 
medal.  McCutchan  won  on  the  shoot-off.  Young 
madethe  best  score  but  being  a  non-member  couldn't 
carry  off  the  medal  He  won  first  money  in  the  pool, 
McCutchan  second  and  Morrow  third. 

Pool  shoot,  10  targets— McCutchan,  10-10;  Hess,  8; 
MacGregor.  5;  Young,  4;  Edmonds,  4;  Mead,  4;  Mor- 
row, 8;  Fehrman,  4.  McCutchan,  first  money,  Mor- 
row and  Hess  tied  for  second  and  shot  off  the  tie, 
Hess  won. 

Thirty  target  shoot— Fehrman  17;  Hess  24;  Mead  13. 


The  regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  Vallejo  gun  club 
was  held  last  Sunday  at  the  club's  new  grounds  three 
miles  above  Vallejo.  Twenty-  five  shooters  turned  out 
to  try  their  luck  at  smashing  the  mu'd  saucers  and 
some  remarkably  good  scores  were  made.  Brown, 
Dr.  Arnold  and  Clarke  carried  off  the  honors  for  the 
day,  each  breaking  over  eighty  per  cent.  Among  the 
vistors  was  C  F.  Harvey  of  this  city  representing  the 
Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Co.  The  scores  in  the 
club  event  at  25  targets  were  as  follows: 

Brown  24,  Dr.  Arnold  22,  Clarke  22,  O'Hara  21.  Coe 
20,  Hirschle  19,  Harvey  (birds  only)  19,  Drake  19,  P. 
Magistrini  19,  Wistcarver  19,  S.  Magistrini  18,  Dr. 
Turner  18,  Beveridge  18,  Peabody  18,  Rooney  16, 
Elias  15,  FitzpatricK  15,  Evans  12,  Coronada  12, 
Shouse  9,  Rose  9,  Giant  9. 

In  the  merchandise  event  at  30  birds,  Clarke  was 
high  gun  breaking  27. 


The  second  annual  shooting  tournament  held  last 
Sunday  at  Rockland  by  the  Rocklin  Gun  Club  was  in 
every  way  the  most  successful  yet  held  in  the  interior 
of  the  State,  outside  of  larger  cities,  in  point  of  attend- 
ance and  enthusiasm  The  whole  of  Rocklin's  popu- 
lation turned  out  with  a  hearty  welcome  to  all  from 
abroad, and  the  ladies  were  brilliant  in  Easter  clothing. 

The  visitors  came  in  goodly  numbers  and  the  entire 
district  of  Northern  California  was  well  represented 
by  shooters  from  Folsom,  Gridley, Marysville, Oroville, 
Williams,  Auburn,  Lincoln,  Shingle  Springs,    Davis- 


Los  Angeles  Tournament. 

The  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club  two-day  eighteenth 
semi-annual  blue  rock  tournament  was  a  successful 
shoot  and  an  enjoyable  meeting  for  both  contestants 
and  spectators  on  the  22d  and  23d  ints. 

The  first  day's  program  consisted  of  fifteen  events — 
ten  15  target  races,  entrance  $1.50,  $10  added,  four 
moneys,  Cnick  system,  two  man  team  championship, 
25  tai gets  per  man,  teamentrauce  $2  and  the  Tufts- 
Lyons  medal  race,  50  targets,  $1  entrance. 

The  second  day's  card  called  for  nine  15  target  races, 
a  repeating  shot  gun  prize  race  at  25  targets,  entrance 
$2,  the  five  man  team  championship  race,  25  targets 
per  man,  t3am  entrance  $7  50  and  the  individual 
championship  medal  race  at  50  targets,  $1  entrance. 

The  previous  winners  of  the  special  races  were: 
Individual  championship  medal — J.  Gibson,  score  49 
out  of  50  Tufts-Lyon  Arms  Co.  medal — J  Gibson, 
47-50.  Two  man  team  championship — Miller  and 
Walker,  44-50.  Five  man  team  championship — Miller, 
Orr,  Ecker,  Julian,  Kolk,  108-125. 

The  winners  at  this  tournament  were: 

High  average,  professional — E.  Holling,  San  Fran- 
cisco, 91}%. 

High  average,  amateur — J.  F.  Gibson,  Los  Angeles, 
90%,  279  out  of  310. 

Tufts-Lyon  medal-Guy  Lovelace,  Los  Angeles,  43 
out  of  50. 

Individual  championship  medal— C.  Walker,  Santa 
Ana,  49  out  of  50. 


Two  man  team  cup— F.  B.  MU1b  and  O.  O  Orr,  45 
out  of  50,  on  shoot  off. 

Five  man  team  cup— Hagerman,  Densel,  Breer, 
Knight,  Gilbert,  112  out  of  125. 

High  run — L.  Breer,  Jr.,  Los  Angeles,  80  straight. 

Forty  two  shooters  were  on  tbe  firing  line  on  Satur- 
day. Among  the  San  Francisco  sportsmen  preseDt 
were:  C.  A.  Haight,  Emil  Holling,  R.  C.  Reed,  H.  T. 
Hoyt,  D.  Daniels  and  D  W.  Kiog,  Jr.  Among  the 
veterans  in  attendance  were:  A.  W.  Brunei-,  who  not- 
withstanding having  been  out  of  the  game  for  nearly 
five  years,  shot  in  great  form.  John  Hauerwass  and 
Jim  Matfield  also  put  up  some  good  races.  The  aver- 
age of  scores,  as  a  rule,  was  excellent.  In  the  fifteen 
target  events  there  were  a  number  of  clean  scores. 
Orr  and  Gilbert  were  the  only  perfect  shooters  in  the 
first  event,  with  Mills  tbelonely  occupant  of  the  honor 
position  in  the  second .  The  men  were  getting  warmed 
up  by  the  third,  and  fifteen  straight  were  broken  by 
Reed,  Smith,  Orr,  J.  Gibson  and  Mills.  Tbe  fourth 
was  without  a  fifteen  score,  but  Justins,  Smith,  Orr 
and  Bungay  came  through  in  tbe  next.  Throughout 
the  other  15  target  events  perfect  scores  were  made 
by  Densel.  Davis,  Justins,  Orr  (2),  Bungay,  J.  GibsoD, 
Mills,  Anderson,  Parker  and  McCullough. 

The  change  from  "expert"  to  Leggett  trap  proba- 
bly had  something  to  do  with  some  of  the  scores  as 
there  was  a  wide  diversity  in  tbe  angles  thrown  by 
the  two  machines.  It  is  doubtful  if  forty-three  ever 
won  the  Tufts-Lyon  medal  before,  but  the  precedent 
was  established  by  that  capable  youDg  shot,  Guy 
Lovelace,  who  again  took  the  trophy  with  20-23  R. 
Cecil  Reed  of  San  Francisco,  barred  as  a  manu- 
facturers'agent  from  the  emoluments  of  the  game, 
turned  in  the  best  score  at  45  out  of  50. 

Fred  Mills  has  achieved  the  unique  honor  of  win- 
ning the  two-man  team  cup  five  times  without  ever 
seeing  it.  Roy  Witman,  of  Oxnard,  is  believed  to 
have  the  trophy,  and  probably  will  defend  it  as  60on 
as  his  business  will  permit.  Mill's  partner  Saturday 
was  Orr,  and  they  scored  24  and  22,  respectively,  for  a 
total  of  46,  tieing  with  Gibson  and  Lovelace,  who  had 
a  brace  of  23s  for  the  same  total.  In  the  shoot-off, 
Mills  and  Orr  bunched  22  and  23  for  45  against  a  pair 
of  21s  by  their  opponents. 

After  the  first  day's  program  had  been  shot  out, 
an  impromptu  doubles  event  at  six  pairs  was  framed 
up  and  a  heavy  entry  resulted.  Holling,  Reed  and 
Daniels  managed  to  break  ten  out  of  tbe  dozen  and 
cut  up  most  of  tbe  proceeds;  T.  E  Norton  and  several 
others  piled  up  nine.  An  exhibition  of  machine-gun 
shooting  with  an  automatic  lead  spray  of  the  Brown- 
ing patent  was  quite  a  feature  of  the  event. 

No  less  than  twenty-five  shooters  entered  for  the 
big  miss  and  out,  and  for  a  time  it  looked  as  if  the 
birds  would  more  than  eat  up  the  pot  at  50  cents  per, 
but  after  the  second  round,  the  barn  began  doing 
business,  and  a  dozen  consecutive  breaks  got  the 
cash,  Reed  and  Holling  cutting  up  the  pot.  A  jack- 
rabbit  event  closed  the  sport. 

On  Sunday  50  shooters  lined  up  in  the  different 
events — nine  15  target  races  and  three  special  features. 
The  bright  individual  work  of  the  day  seems  to  have 
been  the  performance  of  Louis  Breer,  Jr.  Shooting 
with  rare  precision  and  centering  bis  birds  splendidly, 
his  run  of  eighty  consecutive  "kills"  was  the  record 
breaker  for  a  Los  Angeles  shoot.  Almost  without 
practice,  borrowing  one  of  Guy  Lovelace's  guns  for 
the  occasion,  and  shooting  the  first  loads  be  could  lay 
his  hands  upon — Selby  factory  loads  —  this  sturdy 
young  athelete  overturned  nearly  every  axiom  of  the 
trap-shooting  game.  Not  in  months  had  he  fired  at 
any  sort  of  a  flying  mark.  He  set  out  in  the  morning 
with  the  fixed  intention  of  winning  high  run  for  the 
tournament,  and  by  no  uncertain  margin,  either. 
Never  once  did  he  fall  below  thirteen  in  any  of  the 
average  events,  and  after  the  medals  were  out  of  the 
way,  he  got  himself  together  for  a  Garrison  finish; 
began  hitting  'em  in  the  middle,  and  piled  straight  on 
top  of  straight  until  a  string  of  eighty  consecutive 
breaks  had  been  scored.  Partly  over  tbe  Leggett 
machine;  partly  over  the  experts,  the  difference  in 
traps  made  no  difference  to  Breer. 

Had  Mr.  Breer  shot  through  the  tournament,  he 
would  have  annexed  high  average  in  a  canter,  but 
being  a  busy  man,  Sunday  was  his  only  cbaDce  to 
shine.  He  was  several  birds  ahead  of  any  of  the  rest 
on  the  day's  scores;  but  big  Jim  Gibson  who  quit 
Saturday  afternoon  with  a  clean  record  of  90  per  cent, 
duplicated  his  feat  by  exactly  the  same  figures  to  a 
bird  and  took  amateur  honors  for  the  two  days  with 
that  average.  Among  the  professionals  who  com- 
peted, Emil  Holling  of  San  Francisco,  representing 
the  California  Powder  Works,  was  the  premier,  scor- 
ing just  91J  per  cent — splendidly  high-class  work  con- 
sidering the  conditions  climatic,  atmospheric  and 
otherwise.  By  no  stretch  of  the  imagination  could 
these  be  construed  as  favorable  on  Sunday.  A  fitful 
breeze  played  havoc  with  tbe  targets  about  noon, 
causing  them  to  duck  and  veer  in  all  manner  of  un- 
gaugeable  angles  and  slants.  Tbe  best  shots  "went 
down  tbe  line"  to  their  keen  disgust,  but  hard  feel- 
ings were  not  the  remedy. 

Later  on  when  the  sky  brightened  the  shooting 
became  more  regular  and    scores  began   to  improve. 

Starting  off  with  a  straight  score  of  twenty -five  con- 
secutive breaks  in  the  individual  championship 
diamond  medal  shoot,  Clyde  Walker  of  Santa  Ana 
dropped  but  one  bird  in  his  second  string  and  wound 
up  with  the  grand  total  of  forty -nine  out  of  a  possible 
fifty  for  the  trophy  Even  tbe  crack  agents  of  tbe 
powder  companies  were  outclassed;  D.  W.  King,  Jr., 
punched  out  forty-eight  and  so  did  Bob  Bungay,  but 
a  bad  minute  in  his  first  twenty-five  lost  him  two 
birds,  a  straight  in  the  wind  up  failing  to  pull  out 
against  Walker's  clever  work.  There  was  a  hot  lot 
after  the  diamond  medal;  Holling,  Reed,  Orr,  Jim 
Gibson,  all  broke  forty-seven  for  it,  and  tbe  victory 
was  anything  but  an  empty  honor  in  consequence. 

The  five-man  team  shoot  was  the  usual  interesting 
race.  Of  the  winners,  Breer  did  the  best  shooting, 
missing  but  one  of  bis  twenty  five.  Hogerman  and 
Densel  missed  two  and  Knight  and  Gilbert  fourapiece. 
Had   it   not   been    for  Smith's  unaccountable    s

the  team  trophy  would  have  gone  to  the  club  team 
comprised  of  Smith,  Orr,  Bungay,  Lovelace  and 
Gibson  All  the  others  outshot  the  winning  five,  but 
Smith's  eighteen  brought  the  total  score  down  one 
Wow  the  winners.  Gibson  had  twenty-five  without 
,  Lovelace  lost  only  one  and  Orr  and  Bungay 
but  two.  Julian,  Hip  Justins,  Daniels,  Mead  and 
Enelehart  scored  110. 

In  the  special  repeating  shotgun  shoot,  Breer  won 
the  trombone  hung  up  for  a  prize  by  scoring  24,  giving 
Guy  Lovelace  and  some  of  the  rest  a  hotter  pace  than 
thev  could  comfortably  follow. 

Owing  to  a  large  number  of  average  prizes,  every 
man  who  shot  through  the  tournament  was  declared 
in  on  the  cut,  there  being  ten  Jim  Gibson  finished 
first  according  to  the  figures,  missing  31  out  of  310  for 
90  per  cent  Orr  dropped  33  for  second  high  average, 
beating  Bob  Bungay  out  by  one  bird.  Bungay  is  one 
of  the  vounger  marksmen  who  seems  to  be  quite  a 
"comer"  and  will  bear  watching  in  future  shoots. 
Dan  Daniels,  Fred  Mills  and  H.  Mead  finished  next  in 
order.    Charlie  Julian  was  along  in   the  sixth   notch 

°The  tournament  was  unanimously  voted  by  those 
present  to  beone  of  the  most  successful  ever  conducted 
bv  the  Los  Angeles  club.  In  view  of  the  royal  treat- 
ment extended  to  visiting  shooters,  the  handling  of 
every  detail  in  a  business-like  manner  and  the  fair  and 
impartial  methods  governing  the  entire  management 
of  the  shoot  we  predict  an  increased  number  of  shoot- 
ers in  attendance  at  future  meetings. 

A  pleasant  social  feature  of  the  shoot  was  the  formal 
winding  up  of  the  affair  by  a  banquet,  on  Sunday 
evening,  which  the  club  tendered  to  visiting  sports- 
men. ....  -       j  j   a-        3 

Thirty  two  knights  of  the  trigger  wined  and  dined 
for  two  hours  and  then  passed  another  sixty  minutes 
in  talking  of  the  things  they  did,  tht  things  they 
didn't  and  the  things  they  should  have  done. 

President  Samuel  R.  Smith  presided  as  toastmaster. 
Everybody  had  to  talk,  and  for  a  crowd  that  "wasn't 
public  speakers"  they  did  pretty  well. 

Clarence  Haight,  Cecil  Reed,  Harry  Hoyt  and 
others,  in  happiest  vein,  were  among  the  speakers  on 
various  topics.  U.  S.  DeMoulin  of  Greenville,  111.,  told 
of  Illinois  game  protective  measures  and  their  success. 
The  following  were  present:  Dan  Daniels,  E.  Holling, 
W.  A.  Casson,  H.  A.  Hoyt,  R  H.  Bungay,  Hip 
Justins,  R.  C.  Reed,  Guy  Lovelace,  C.  A.  Haight,

The  Blue  Jay  and  Its  Food. 


unday,  April  23,  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club,  Sherman 

unds. 

ive  man  team  championship— Los   Angeles  Oun 


[Concluded  From  Last  Week] 

Caterpillars  form  an  important  element  in  March, 
August  and  September,  and  the  greatest  number, 
amounting  to  11.4  per  cent,  were  eaten  in  August. 
The  kind  of  caterpillars  eaten  is  of  more  interest  than 
the  number.  The  jay  apparently  likes  to  take  its 
food  in  large  morsels,  and  as  in  the  case  of  beetles, 
large  larvse.  like  those  of  the  humming-bird  moths 
(Sphingidse),  are  selected  whenever  obtainable.  In 
several  cases  a  single  specimen  of  these  caterpillars 
more  than  two  inches  in  length  and  nearly  as  large  as 
one's  finger  was  Bnugly  coiled  up  in  the  stomach, 
almost  filling  the  whole  cavity.  Eggs  of  insects  were 
frequent,  and  those  of  the  tent  caterpillar  moth 
(Clisiocampa  americana)  occurred  in  four  cases.  Dr 
J.  A  Allen  has  found  these  eggs  in  blue  jay  stomachs 
{Auk,  XII,  Oct.,  1895,  p.  383),  and  many  years  ago  Dr. 
J".  P.  Kirtland  called  attention  to  the  usefulness  of 
this  bird  in  destroy  ing  the  larvas  of  the  tent  caterpillar 
{Atlantic  Monthly,  XXV,  April,  1870,  p.  482).  Many 
of  the  smaller  species  of  caterpillars  were  quite  hairy, 
and  others  rough  and  warty,  showing  that  this  does 
not  render  them  objectionable.  Mr.  E.  H.  Forbush 
credits  the  blue  jay  with  eating  great  number  of  eggs, 
pupas  and  larvas  of  the  gypsy  moth,  and  he  observed 
them  carrying  away  the  larvae,  which  are  hairy 
caterpillars  of  considerable  size,  apparently  to  feed 
their  young.  (Rept.  on  Gypsy  Moth,  Mass.  Board 
Agr.,  1896,  pp.214,  215.) 

Insects  of  several  other  orders  were  found  in  nearly 
every  month,  and  in  July  and  August  amounted  to  a 
little  more  than  11  per  cent.  Hymenoptera  were 
represented  by  wasps  and  a  few  ants.  One  stomach 
contained  a  specimen  of  the  pigeon  horntail  iTremex 
columba),a  vary  injurious  wood-bo-inginsect.  Diptera, 
or  flies,  were  found  in  only  three  stomachs.  Hemiptera 
were  represented  by  quite  a  number  of  stink  bugs 
(Pentatomids),  a  few  cicadas,  and  remains  of  coccids, 
or  bark  lice,  which  were  found  in  two  stomachs. 
Spiders  occur  frequently,  myriapods  occasionally,  and 
snail  shells  were  found  in  thirty-eight  stomachs. 

As  already  stated,  three-fourths  of  the  blue  jay's 
food  consists  of  vegetable  matter,  which  may  be  con- 
veniently arranged  in  several  groups:  (1)  Grain,  mast, 
and  seeds;  (2)  fruit;  and,  (3)  miscellaneous. 

Grain  and  mast — Corn,  wheat,  oats,  buckwheat, 
acorns,  chestnuts,  beechnuts,  hazelnuts,  sumac,  knot- 
weed,  sorrel. 

Fruit  and  miscellaneous  —  Apples,  strawberries, 
currants,  blackberries,  mulberries,  blueberries,  wild 
chorries,  huckleberries,  chokecherries,  wild  grapeB, 
service  berries,  elderberries,  sour-gum  berries, 
hawthorn,  chokeberries,  pokeberries,  oak  galls^ 
mushrooms,  tubers. 

Grain  is  naturally  one  of  the  most  important  groups 
and  may  be  considered  first.  Wheat,  oats,  and  buck- 
wheat occur  so  seldom  and  in  such  small  quantities 
(1.3  per  cent  of  the  whole  food)  that  they  may  be 
dismissed  with  slight  comment.  Wheat  was  found  in 
only  eight  stomachs,  oats  in  two,  and  buckwheat  in 
one.  The  wheat  was  eaten  in  July,  August,  and 
September;  oats  in  March  and  July,  and  buckwheat 
in  October.  Corn  was  found  in  seventy-onestomachs, 
and  aggregates  17.9  per  cent  of  the  food  of  the  year. 
This  is  les6  than  eaten  by  the  crow  (21  per  cent)  or  by 
the  crow  blackbird  (35  per  cent).  In  January  the 
amount  consumed  reached  nearly  56  per  cent.  It  is 
perhaps  fair  to  add,  however,  that  about  one-third  of 
the  stomachs  taken  in  that  month  were  from  birds 
shot  at  a  corncrib  when  the  ground  wascovered  with3 
feet  of  snow. and  do  not  fairly  represent  the  food  of  the 
month.  Corn  was  also  found  in  considerable  quanti- 
ties in  February,  April,  May,  and  September. 

Under  the  term  "mast"  are  grouped  large  seeds  of 
trees  and  shrubs,  such  as  acorns,  chestnuts,  beech- 
nuts, and  others  less  conspicuous  to  the  ordinary 
observer.  Unlike  corn,  It  formed  a  remarkably  con 
stant  element,  and  aggregated  more  than  42  per  cent 
of  the  whole  food  of  the  year.  It  was  found  in  168 
stomai'hs  and  varied  from  one-fourth  to  three-fourths 
of  the  total  food  in  every  month  except  July  and 
August.  The  fact  that  it  is  eaten,  not  only  in  the  late 
fall,  winter,  and  early  spring,  when  other  food  may  be 


hard  to  obtain,  but  also  throughout  late  spring,  sum- 
mer, and  early  fall,  when  fruit,  grain,  and  insects  are 
abundant,  would  seem  to  show  that  it  is  preferred. 
The  consumption  of  mast  exceeds  that  of  corn  in 
every  month  except  January,  April,  July, and  August; 
but  only  a  small  amount  of  either  is  eaten  in  these 
last  two  months.  The  test  as  to  whether  corn  is  pre- 
ferred to  mast  would  seem  to  be  furnished  by  the 
record  in  October  and  November.  It  must  be  admitted 
that  throughout  most  parts  of  the  blue  jay's  rarge 
both  corn  and  mast  are  equally  access. bleduring  these 
two  months.  Tbe  cornfields  are  ripe  for  the  harvest, 
and  lie  open  and  unprotected,  where  the  birds  can 
gather  their  fill  without  let  or  hindrance.  The 
forests  also  furnish  an  incalculable  quantity  of  acorns, 
chestnuts,  chinquapins,  and  beechnuts,  while  tbe 
hedges  and  river  banks  teem  with  hazelnuts,  and 
there  seems  no  reason  why  the  jays  should  not  eat 
the  food  that  they  like.  An  examination  of  the 
stomachs  will  indicate  best  what  they  have  actually 
eaten.  Seventy-two  stomachs  taken  in  October 
show  an  average  of  over  64  per  cent  of  mast,  and 
eleven  collected  in  November  nearly  82  per  cent, 
while  the  corn  in  each  month  aggregates  only  1.1  and' 
0.9  per  cent,  respectively.  It  seems  scarcely  possible 
to  draw  any  other  conclusion  than  that  the  blue  jays 
prefer  mast  to  corn,  or  indeed  to  any  other  vegetable 
food,  for  they  eat  the  greatest  amount  at  a  time  when 
fruit,  grain,  and  other  things  are  most  abundant.  The 
record  for  December  shows  that  the  taste  for  mast, 
far  from  being  satisfied,  has  rather  increased,  and 
its  maximum  of  almost  83  per  cent;  while  only  10  per 
cent  of  corn  has  been  taken  instead  of  several  other 
seeds  and  fruits  which  were  eaten  earlierin  the  season. 
It  was  the  custom  of  the  writer,  at  his  home  in  Massa- 
chusetts, to  bait  the  blue  jaysin  winter  with  chaff  and 
corn  in  the  manner  already  mentioned,  and  he 
observed  that  the  birds  patronized  these  feeding 
places  only  so  long  as  the  ground  was  completely 
covered  with  snow.  No  sooner  did  any  considerable 
area  of  bare  surface  appear  than  the  corn  was  dis- 
carded and  no  more  birds  were  seen  on  the  chaff  until 
the  earth  was  again  covered  with  snow.  The  natural 
inference  was  that  the  jays  found  something  on  the 
bare  ground,  presumably  mast  which  they  preferred 
to  corn.  It  is  possible  that  this  fondness  for  mast  may 
affect  the  distribution  of  certain  trees  to  some  extent, 
A  jay  flying  with  a  nut  in  its  beak  may  drop  it  in  mid- 
air or  carry  it  away  and  perhaps  store  it  for  future 
use.  Acorns  and  other  nuts  may  be  distributed  in 
this  way,  and  it  is  probable  that  many  isolated  oaks 
and  chestnuts  owe  their  origin  to  accidents  of  this 
kind. 

Jays  show  considerable  taste  in  the  choice  of  fruit. 
Apples  were  eaten  only  during  January,  February^ 
and  March,  and  consequently  were  merely  frozen  fruit 
left  on  the  trees  to  decay,  which  should  be  reckoned 
as  refuse  rather  than  food.  In  the  month  of  March 
the  consumption  is  greatest,  amounting  to  more  than 
32  per  cent.  Fresh  fruit  is  eaten  to  a  slight  extent  in 
May,  but  the  quantity  increases  rapidly  in  June,  and 
attains  more  than  39  per  cent  in  J  uly,  and  then  gradu- 
ally diminishes  until  it  disappears  entirely  after 
October.  The  jay  is  often  included  with  other  birds 
in  the  charge  of  habitual  stealing  of  cultivated  fruit. 
Discarding  apples  which  have  no  value,  only  four 
kinds  of  fruit  are  eaten  which  may  be  cultivated 
namely,  strawberries,  currants,  blackberries,  and 
mulberries. 

No  cultivated  cherries  or  grapes  were  found. 
Strawberries  were  found  in  three  stomachs,  currants 
in  seven,  blackberries  in  twenty-two,  and  mulberries 
in  five.  This  certainly  does  not  show  great  depreda- 
tions upon  fruit,  even  supposing  that  all  the  fruit  was 
cultivated ;  but  it  is  probable,  especially  in  the  case  of 
blackberries,  that  much  of  it  was  wild. 

Other  vegetable  substances  were  not  eaten  exten- 
sively, but  appear  to  have  been  taken  merely  in 
default  of  something  better.  It  is  worthy  of  notice 
that  the  Bumac  seedstaten  are  those  of  the  harmless 
staghorn  (Rhus  hirta)  and  smooth  sumac  (Rhus 
glabra).  Jays  do  not  eat  the  seeds  of  poison  ivy  (Rhus 
radicans)  or  poison  sumac  (Rhus  vernix),  and  in  this 
respect  differ  greatly  from  the  crow,  the  crow  black- 
bird, and  some  of  the  woodpeckers.  These  last,  and 
probably  many  other  birds,  feed  largely  upon  sumac 
seeds  during  the  winte.-,  and  thereby  help  to  dissemi- 
nate these  disagreeable  and  harmful  shrubs  It  seems 
a  little  singular  that  a  bird  so  fond  of  hard  seeds  as 
the  jay  should  not  avail  itself  of  this  food,  which  is 
always  accessible  in  the  colder  months,  but  it  is  fortu- 
nate that  it  does  not  eat  the  seeds  of  the  poisonous 
species.  Remains  of  galls  which  grow  on  oak  leaves 
were  found  in  twelve  stomachs,  and  possibly  were 
eaten  for  the  sake  of  the  larva1  which  th6y  contained. 
Fragments  of  mushrooms  were  identified  in  seven 
stomachs,  mostly  taken  in  April  and  October. 

The  examination  of  stomach  contents  was  supple- 
mented by  experiments  on  a  bird  which  had  been  in 
captivity  but  a  few  months  and  had  no  acquired 
tastes.  In  eating,  this  jay  held  its  food  on  the  perch 
usually  with  the  right  foot,  but  sometimes  with  both 
feet,  and  proceeded  to  tear  it  to  pieces  and  devour  it; 
hard  substances,  like  kernels  of  corn  and  acorns,  were 
repeatedly  hammered  with  the  beak  after  the  manner 
of  a  woodpecker.  It  would  eat  dead  mice  to  a  certain 
extent,  but  did  not  appear  tc  be  extravagantly  fond 
of  them;  it  seldom  or  never  ate  a  whole  one,  and 
seemed  to  prefer  the  brains  to  apy  other  part.  A  live 
mouse  was  placed  in  the  cage,  but  remained  un- 
molested two  days.  The  jay  waB  kept  supplied  with 
mocking-bird  food,  of  which  it  ate  freely,  so  that  it 
was  not  hungry,  and  therefore  selected  only  such 
other  food  as  was  appetizing.  It  ate  most  insects  and 
preferred  them  to  vegetable  food.  ItB  preferences 
were  not  strongly  marked,  although  grasshoppers 
seemed  to  be  the  favorite  insects,  and  black  crickets 
were  refused.  Among  beetles,  Scaraba?idB  were  rather 
preferred  to  Carablds  or  Tenebrionids,  but  all  were 
eaten.  Chrysomelids  were  generally  rejected,  and 
tbe  potato  beetle  (Doryphora  10-lineata)  was  always 
refused;  the  same  was  true  of  the  elm  leaf-beetle 
(Galerucella  luteola).  but  one  12  spotted  cucumber 
beetle  (Diabrotica    12-punctata)    was    eaten.     Click

FREE  ADVERTISING,  and  lots  of  it,  is  obtained 
for  every  horse  that  sires  speed.  The  name  of 
MoKinney  2:11}  appears  these  days  a  dozen  times  in 
every  issue  of  every  journal  devoted  to  trotting  horse 
matters,  and  his  breeding  and  the  performances  of  his 
get  are  the  subject  of  columns  of  matter  written  and 
printed  free  of  charge.  But  this  does  not  stop  Mr. 
Simpson,  proprietor  of  the  Empire  City  Farm,  and 
the  owner  of  McKinney,  from  spending  money  for 
advertising.  He  has  inserted  an  advertisement  of  his 
farm  and  his  great  horse  in  every  trotting  horse  paper 
in  the  country.  Mr.  Simpson  is  a  suecessfal  business 
who  knows  and  acknowledges  the  value  of  printers 
ink.  He  owns  the  greatest  sire  of  fast  trotters  that 
lives,  a  horse  whose  reputation  is  known  wherever 
people  live  who  drive  trotters  or  breed  them,  but  this 
does  not  prevent  him  from  still  further  advertising 
him.  He  knows  that  advertising  pays  in  the  horse 
business  as  well  as  in  any  other  line. 


THE  DEATH  of  Mr.  Ed  Topham,  of  Milpitas,  Santa 
Clara  county,  occurred  two  weekB  ago  from 
Bright's  disease.  Mr.  Topham  was  one  of  the  promi- 
nent farmers  and  horse  breeders  of  California,  and  for 
several  years  held  the  position  of  President  of  the 
Santa  Clara  and  San  Mateo  District  Fair  Association, 
during  which  time  some  of  the  most  suceefsful  fairs 
ever  held  in  that  district  were  given.  He  was  an  up- 
right, honorable  gentleman  whose  death  will  be  de- 
plored by  all  with  whom  he  was  acquainted.

Racing  and  Yearling  Sale  at  Dixon. 

There  were  two  thousand  people  at  the  Dixon  half 
mile  track,  last  Monday  and  had  a  heavy  rain  not  set 
in  during  the  afternoon,  the  best  day's  racing  ever 
seen  on  the  local  track  would  have  resulted.  During 
the  forenoon  an  auction  was  held  of  twelve  yearlings 
and  onetwo-year-old.all  by  Demonio2:llJ, consigned  by 
the  Suisun  Stock  Farm  of  Rush  &  Haile.  All  the 
youngsters  reached  Dixon  in  fine  condition  except  a 
yearling  out  of  a  Nutwood  Wilkes  mare  that  was  in- 
jured at  the  farm  and  not  offered.  The  others  were 
sold  by  W.  G.  Harris,  the  live  stock  auctioneer  of 
Solano  county,  who  conducted  the  sale  in  a  very  suc- 
cessful manner.  The  average  for  the  thirteen  head 
sold  was  very  close  to  $160  each.  A  filly  out  of  Venice 
by  Gossiper  brought  $300,  the  top  price,  while  the 
lowest  figure  was  $102.50.  A  summary  of  the  sale  is 
bere  given:

After  the  sale,  lunch  was  enjoyed  by  several  hun- 
dred people  who  had  come  from  a  radius  of  forty 
miles  to  attend  the  sale  and  races,  then  the  races  were 
announced  Mr.  Horigan  had  the  track  in  very  good 
shape,  but  the  rain  made  it  very  heavy  after  one  heat 
had  been  decided.  Although  the  rain  fell  in  to-rent?, 
the  crowd  stayed  to  see  the  sport  and  enjoyed  it  much 
belter  than  the  horses  and  drivers  did.  Del  Dudley 
filled  the  position  of  Secretary  in  a  most  satisfactory 
manner  and  reported  the  gate  receipts  at  close  to  $700. 

The  first  race  was  for  named  horses,  and  there  were 
four  starters,  Ray  Bennett's  Ora  Belmont,  a  trotter, 
and  Frank  Robbin's  Ingo,  Otis  Wilbur's  Sleepy  Joe, 
and  John  Bauman's  Antonius  pacers.  The  first  heat 
was  decided  before  the  rain  began  and  was  trotted  in 
1:09  by  the  winner  Oro  Belmont.  The  rain  began 
falling  and  the  track  was  a  little  sticky  before  word 
was  given  for  the  second  heat,  and  grew  worse  as  the 
rain  continued  The  third  heat  of  this  race  was  hotly 
contested  from  start  to  finish  and  as  the  half  mile  was 
made  in  1:11$  in  the  mud,  the  performance  must  be 
considered  an  excellent  one  for  Mr.  Bennett  s  gelding. 

In  the  two-year-old  pace  no  effort  was  made  to  show 
speed  with  the  colts  as  the  slippery  footing  made  it 
dangerous.  Mr.  H.  B.  Robben's  Smiley  by  Bayswater 
Wilkes  won  in  straight  heats. 

The  three-year-old  trot  and  pace  was   not   finished, 
Mannie  Reams' Grace  R.  by  Demonio  and   C.   Mont- 
gomery's Chaser  by  Diablo  dividing  the  money   after 
each  had  won  a  heat-    The  summaries:

Los  Angeles  Driving  Club. 

Those  who  were  present  at  the  May  Day  matinee 
meeting  of  the  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club,  Monday, 
May  1st,  at  Agricultural  Park  witnessed  the  closest 
and  most  exciting  racing  of  the  season.  Several  heats 
were  won  by  inches  and  excellent  time  was  made. 

The  first  race  was  the  2:30  pace  for  the  Berry  cup, 
and  this  was  won  by  J  A.  Falrchild's  Bonnie  Ailse  in 
straight  heats.  The  filly  was  driven  by  John  H. 
Mott  and  was  well  handled  in  both  heats.  The  first 
m'le  was  covered  in  2:19  and  the  second  in  2:20.  Billy 
K.,  owned  and  driven  by  R,  V.  Cocke,  was  second  in 
both  heats,  and  P.  B.  Michel's  Big  Don  took  third 
place. 

The  2:30  trot  for  the  Driving  Club  cup  brought  out 
only  two  horses.  J.  A.Cole's  April  Rose  was  scratched 
leaving  J.  Mitchell's  Albuquerque  and  L.  P.  Kellar's 
Glennita  in  the  going.  Glennita  broke  badly  at  the 
start  of  the  first  heat,  and  A.  W.  Bruner,  who  was 
driving  Albuquerque,  pulled  up  to  wait  for  the  Kellar 
mare.  Glennita  came  back  to  earth  again  and  won 
the  heat  in  2:30}.     Albuquerque  led  all  the  way  in  the 


second  heat  and  won  easily  in  2:24.  The  third  and 
deciding  heat  was  won  by  Glennita,  after  breaking 
badly  at  the  half. 

The  2:25  pace  was  won  by  Dr.  William  Dodge's 
Lohengrin,  with  A.  J.  Stewart's  Admiral  Dewey 
second.  Bessie  Barnes  broke  at  the  first  turn  in  each 
heat  and  lost  much  ground.  She  paced  the  last  half 
of  the  second  heat  in  1 :06,  and  was  only  beaten  a  head. 
She  is  by  Zombro. 

Three  heats  were  necessary  to  decide  the  race,  the 
first  of  which  went  to  Lohengrin,  with  Deivey  coming 
up  fast  from  behind.  The  Dodge  horse  broke  at  the 
half  in  the  second  mile,  and  was  out  of  going  there- 
after. Admiral  Dewey  won  in  a  driving  finish  from 
E.  E.  Sherwood's  Bennies  Barue9.  Lohengrin  came 
back  in  the  third  heat  and  succeeding  in  beating 
Athaio  off  in  the  stretch. 

C.  J.  Cleveland's  Virginia, ably  driven  by  E.  Delorey 
took  the  2:20  pace  in  straight  heats.  The  first  mile 
was  covered  in  2:12,  which  was  excellent  time  in  the 
circumstances.  W.A.Clark's  Christobel,  driven  by 
A.  W.  Bruner,  was  good,   but  Virginia  was  too  fasti 

L.  J.  Christopher's  Zombretta  by  Zombro  romped 
away  with  the  2:25  trot  in  straight  heats.  Mayor, 
another  Zombro,  cleverly  handled  by  George  Beckers, 
was  always  going,  and  made  Zombretta  step  the  sec- 
ond mile  in  2:1 7}  to  win.  Will  Clark  by  Strathway 
was  third.    Summary:

A  Promising  Pacing  Mare. 

One  of  the  most  promising  young  pacing  mares  in 
training  at  Pleasanton  this  spring  is  the  four-year-old 
bay  filly  Centereye,  owned  by  John  O'Keefe,  San 
Francisco,  and  in  the  training  stable  of  Ben  Cbaboya. 
She  is  a  daughter  of  On  Stanley  2:17J,  out  of  the  great 
broodmare  Silver  Eye  (also  dam  of'Fram  2:17}  and 
Ramon  2:17})  by  Abbotsford  2:19};  grandam  Princess 
by  Henry  Williamson.  This  mare  has  been  in  tbe 
hands  of  Mr.  Chaboya  but  a  few  months  and  was  not 
trained  with  the  expectation  of  racing  this  season, 
but  her  work  has  been  most  satisfactory  as  she  paced 
a  mile  in  2:16  the  other  morning  with  the  last  half  in 
1:05,  last  quarter  in  32  seconds.  She  is  a  big  strong 
mare  as  her  picture  on  the  front  page  would  indicate, 
is  level  headed,  wears  only  a  light  pair  of  quarter 
boots  and  if  no  ill  fortune  overtakes  her  will  be  well 
staked  in  good  company  next  season. 


Columbus  Entries. 


In  the  four  early  closing  events  offered  by  the 
Columbus,  Ohio,  Grand  Circuit  meeting  the  entry 
list  is  a  good  one,  although  not  as  large  as  at  Buffalo 
or  Read  ville.  The  $10,000  stake  for  2:19  class  trotters 
has21  entries,  among  them  the  California  bred  horses 
Maud  Maxine  by  Boodle,  Lady  Zombro  by  Zombro, 
Getaway  by  Strathway.  and  Danube  by  Direcho 

The  2:09  trot  has  fifteen  entries.  Those  frrm  this 
coast  are  Lisonjero  2:08}  by  Dexter  Prince,  Zephyr 
2:11  by  Zombrc,  Mamie  R.  2:15  J  bv  Son  of  Oro  Wilkes, 
Morosco  2:12  by  Wayland  W.,and  Nora  McKinney 
2:12J  by  McKinney. 

Albuta  by  Altivo,  and  Bolivar  by  Wayland  W.  ate 
the  California  representatives  in  the  2:18  class  pace 
for  which  tbe  purse  is  $5000  and  there  are  twen'y 
entries.  Walter  Direct,  Ed  Geers'  C.  of  C.  candidate, 
is  also  named  in  this  event. 

There  are  26  fast  ones  named  in  the  2:08  class  pac- 
ing purse  of  $2000.  Oregon  Maid  2:08J  by  Del  Norte, 
Miss  Georgie  2'llJ  by  McKinney,  and  Josie  2:16  are 
the  Pacific  Coast  bred  horses  in  this  event. 

Down  at  Mr  A.  B.  Spreckels'  Aptos  Stock  Farm 
Sandy  Smith  is  handling  quite  a  number  of  young 
horses  by  Cupid  2:18  and  Dexter  Prince  and  can  show 
a  lot  of  speed  for  green  horses  on  the  beautiful  little 
half  mile  track.  He  has  sent  three  horses  away  from 
there  during  the  past  few  months  that  are  showing 
great  speed  The  young  stallion  Cronjeby  Cupid  out 
of  Hulda  2:08J  is  in  W.  G.  Durfee's  string  at  Los 
Angeles  and  recently  trotted  an  easy  halt  in  1:07  with 
the  last  quarter  in  32  seconds.  The  pacer  by  Cupid 
that  is  in  James  Thompson's  string  at  Pleasanton  is  a 
whirlwind  and  a  quarter  in  30  seconds  is  tn  her  credit. 
The  mare  by  Cupid  outofa  McKinney  dam  that  Budd 
Doble  is  training  has  stepped  a  mile  close  to  2:10  and 
making  speed  at  every  workout.  At  the  Aptos  track 
Sandy  has  a  three  and  a  four-year-old,  full  brothers, 
that  are  as  good  prospects  as  any  trotters  in  Cali- 
fornia. They  are  by  Dexter  Prince  and  are  show 
horses  as  well  as  being  very  fast.

JOTTINGS. 


TRACING  LOST  PEDIGREES  is  as  fascinating 
work  to  a  student  of  horse  breeding  as  is  digging 
in  tbe  sands  of  time  to  the  Egyptologists  who  are 
searching  to  find  re'ics  of  the  Pbaroabs  Just  now 
the  pedigree  of  Lou  Dillon's  grandam  is  being  hunted 
'or  by  several  persons  interested  in  such  matters,  and 
at  least  two  of  the  Eastern  horse  journals,  the  Horse 
of  Chicago  and  Horse  Breeder  of  Boston,  are 
devoting  considerable  space  each  week  to  the  results 
of  this  research.  Sam  Gamble  of  this  city  is  furnish- 
ing the  result  of  his  work  to  the  Horse  Breeder,  while 
the  H'  is  working  on  the  lead  furnished  it 

by  Mr.  James  Taylor  of  San  Jose.  After  reading 
both  sides  one  feels  something  like  the  old  darkey 
down  in  Georgia  who  had  been  made  a  justice  of  the 
peace  just  after  the  war,  and  was  relating  an  account 
of  the  trial  of  his  first  case.  "When  de  witnesses  fo' 
de  State  wuz  testifying  "  said  he,  "I  wuz  sartin  dey 
tole  the  truf,  as  dey  wuz  all  nice  folks  that  I  knowed 
all  my  life,  but  when  de  witnesses  fo'  de  defendant 
tole  what  dey  knowed  about  it,  I  believed  dem  too,  so 
I  jes  dismiss  de  ease  fo'  lak  of  jurisdikshun." 

That  there  were  two  mares  brought  to  California 
from  Wisconsin  by  Mr.  Maxwell,  that  those  mares 
were  by  Black  Flying  Cloud,  that  one  was  a  chestnut 
with  a  strip  in  her  face  and  one  hind  ankle  white,  has 
been  established  by  good  evidence.  That  Mr.  Max- 
well told  Mr.  Taylor  he  had  sold  those  mares  to  W. 
C.  Ralston,  is  also  pretty  well  established  as  Mr. 
Taylor  is  alive  and  so  states.  But  so  far  none  of  the 
old  horsemen  here  in  California  can  remember  such  a 
sale  nor  can  anyone  remember  a  mare  by  Black  Plying 
Cloud.  That  Mr.  Kimball  owned  a  chestnut  mare  of 
Nelson  blood  is  also  pretty  well  established.  Sam 
Gamble  has  an  old  book  in  which  there  is  a  memoran- 
dum of  a  chestnut  mare,  strip  in  face  and  hind  ankle 
white,  owned  by  Kimball  and  listed  for  salealong  with 
several  others  of  which  the  descriptions  are  also  given# 
This  memorandum  gives  the  mare's  breeding  as  by 
Geo.  M.  Patchen,  Jr.,  dam  by  John  Nelson.  There  are 
several  persons  in  San  Francisco  who  remember  this 
mare  but  6ay  that  she  was  by  John  Nelson.  Frank 
Malone  is  one  of  them.  Mr.  J.  B.  Hiokle,  who  knew 
Kimball  well  and  rode  behind  the  chestnut  mare, is  an- 
other, and  say  she  was  by  Nelson  and  also  says  that 
Lou  Dillon  is  very  much  like  her  in  color,  markings  and 
conformation.  That  Mr.  Kimball  had  a  chestnut 
mare  that  had  a  strip  in  face  and  hind  ankle  white  is 
certain.  That  she  had  Nelson  blood  in  her  veinB  is 
probable.  This  is  as  far  as  the  evidence  goes.  The 
Flying  Cloud  mare  has  not  been  traced  with  absolute 
certainty  further  than  Mr.  Maxwell.  The  Nelson 
mare  has  not  been  traced  with  any  certainty 
further  than  Kimball.  If  some  person  who  under- 
stood searching  for  evidence  had  the  time  and 
money  necessary  to  make  a  systematic  and  exhaustive 
search  in  this  case  I  do  not  doubt  but  much  evidence 
could  be  found  that  might  lead  to  the  identification  of 
Fly,  the  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon.  But  it  would  require 
much  time  and  considerable  traveling,  and  so  far  no 
one  has  been  found  who  is  sufficiently  interested  to 
engage  some  reliable  and  intelligent  person  to  do  this 
work  One  can  hear  all  sorts  of  tales  from  old  horse- 
men, and  in  nioe  cases  out  of  ten  the  story-teller  will 
be  relating  what  he  honestly  believes  to  be  the  truth, 
but  memory  plays  one  false  very  often,  especially 
when  one  has  reached  the  age  which  Dr.  Osier  fixes  as 
the  time  for  retirement  or  chloroforming.  I  recently 
.heard  two  old  drivers  give  an  account  of  a  race  in 
which  both  participated  ten  years  ago  and  neither 
agreed  with  the  Year  Book  as  to  the  heat  winners 
although  both  were  relating  what  they  believed  to  be 
a  truthful  account  of  the  race  as  it  occurred.  Many 
writers  who  have  the  reputation  of  possessing  the  most 
wonderful  memories  are  shown  to  have  made  many 
mistakes  in  recounting  past  events  when  their  stories 
are  compared  with  the  records,  and  it  is  very  likely 
the  same  with  horsemen  who  are  called  upon  to  tell  of 
occurrences  of  twenty  or  thirty  years  ago.  The  person 
who  would  know  the  truth  must  listen  to  all  the 
evidence  and  then  make  up  his  mind  in  accordance 
with  those  facts  which  are  established  beyond  the 
possibility  of  a  doubt,  and  all  other  conclusions  should 
be  labelled  "said  to  be." 


Budd  Doble  worked  Lou  Dillon  a  mile  in  2:l(j  last 
the  last  half  in  1:03  and  the  last  quarter  in  31 
seconds.  She  was  stepping  along  as  If  she  enjoyed  It 
all  the  time  and  during  the  last  half  Mr.  Doble  was 
trying  all  the  timo  to  coax  her  back.  Mr.  C.  A.  Durfce 
who  spent  a  few  days  at  San  Jose  last  week,  tells  me 
th?  •  Lou  Dillon  was  cover  in  better  shape  than  she  Is 
no  ?  and  as  for  manners  she  is  so  greatly  improved 
t  one  would   hardly   recognize  in   her  the  willful 


miss  of  a  year  ago.  Doble  can  jog  her  either  way  of 
the  track,  stop  her  anywhere  and  turn  around  or  go 
ahead  as  he  desires.  The  fact  that  he  can  work  her 
miles  at  the  trot  in  2:30  is  sufficient  proof  of  her  im- 
provement in  manners.  Thereisnota  horseman  in 
America  but  would  rejoice  to  see  Mr.  Billings  drive 
Lou  Dillon  a  mile  in  better  than  two  minutes  without 
the  aid  of  a  wind  shield.'  I  believe  she  could  have 
beaten  that  time  last  year  when  just  righ  t,  but  several 
things  happened  to  prevent,  and  among  them  was 
her  lack  of  condition. 


Several  turf  writers  are  after  "Volunteer"  of  the 
Horse  Review  for  his  expressed  doubts  as  to  there 
being  sufficient  evidence  to  bear  out  the  theory  of 
"saturation."  "A  Seeker  after  Truth,"  writing  in 
the  American  Horse  Breeder  of  April  25th  says: 
"Cecil  gives  it  as  a  rule  of  breeding  that  when  a 
thoroughbred  mare  has  once  had  foals  by  a  common 
horse,  no  subsequent  foals  which  she  may  have  had 
by  thoroughbred  horses  have  ever  evinced  any  pre- 
tentions to  racing  qualities."  I  will  furnish  "A Seeker 
after  Truth"  with  one  instance  to  disprove  this  state- 
ment of  Cecil,  which  he  can  verify  by  writing  to  the 
breeder.  The  thoroughbred  mare  Lilly  Wright, 
owned  during  her  life  by  I.  P.  Diggs  of  Woodland, 
Yolo  county,  California, registered  on  page  567  volume 
7  of  the  American  Stud  Book,  was  bred  to  a  jack  and 
produced  a  mule  colt.  In  succeeding  years  she  was 
bred  to  the  thoroughbred  horse  Red  Iron  and  pro- 
duced Diggs,  Sutton,  Arbaces,  OUnthus  and  Diomed, 
all  winners.  If  the  saturation  theory  of  Cecil  is 
correct,  Lilly  Wright's  ease  must  be  an  exception  to 
the  rule.  I  have  heard  of  many  instances  where  a 
mare  bred  to  a  jack  would  always  throw  "mulish" 
looking  colts  thereafter  when  bred  to  a  horse  but 
although  quite  a  number  of  cases  have  comeundermy 
observation  where  farm  mares  were  mated  thus  I  have 
never  yet  seen  one  whose  foals  by  a  horse  bore  any 
resemblance  to  a  mule.  There  may  be  something  in 
telegony  but  much  of  the  testimony  supporting  it  is 
like  that  in  regard  to  the  appearance  of  ghosts — which 
when  traced  to  its  source  generally  runs  up  against 
someone  suffering  from  fever  or  a  bad  case  of  indiges- 
tion. When  a  scientific  theory  is  advanced  its  authors 
and  adherents  should  not  try  to  establish  it  on  hearsay 
or  said-to-be's.  Any  theory  that  does  not  have  some 
actual  provable  facts  to  bear  it  out  is  not  ready  to 
launch. 

No  better  evidence  that  there  is  much  interest  in 
harness  horse  matters  amongst  the  people  who  live  in 
the  vicinity  of  Dixon,  Solano  county,  is  wanted  than 
the  report  of  the  May  Day  horse  auction  and  race 
meeting  which  appears  in  another  part  of  this  paper. 
The  gate  receipts  at  the  track  were  nearly  $700,  the 
admission  being  50  cents  for  gentlemen  and  25  cents 
for  ladies.  As  the  rain  was  falling  heavily  by  noon, 
and  the  roads  and  track  muddy  before  the  races  were 
called,  northern  Solano  must  be  a  horse  community 
as  over  three  hundred  vehicles  passed  through  the 
gates  before  two  o'clock.  Mr.  C.  D.  Dudley,  who  is 
the  Secretary  of  the  association  that  gave  the  meet- 
ing, made  a  suggestion  while  in  the  office  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  last  Thursday  which,  in 
my  opinion,  is  good  eoo-igh  for  the  people  of  that 
section  to  act  on  .mmediately.  He  suggests  that 
Winters,  where  there  is  a  mile  track,  and  Dixon  with 
its  half  mile  track,  act  together  and  give  two  meetings 
ot  two  days  each  during  a  week  of  the  California  cir- 
cuit. The  towns  are  only  about  eleven  miles  apart, 
with  the  very  best  of  good  level  roads  between  them, 
and  each  town  is  large  enough  to  stand  a  two  days' 
trotting  meeting,  at  which  the  crowds  would  be  large. 
These  meetings  could  be  held  during  the  week  before 
the  Woodland  meeting,  and  purses  from  $300  to  $500 
would  fill  well  and  furnish  excellent  racing.  I  hope 
the  horsemen  of  Winters  and  Dixon  will  take  this 
matter  up  and  arrange  meetings  as  suggested.  Both 
towns  have  prosperous  farming  communities  about 
them  with  good  railroad  facilities  and  many  small 
towns  in  close  proximity  to  draw  from,  and  besides 
they  are  located  in  horse  breeding  centers.  A  week 
divided  between  Winters  and  Dixon  would  be  one  of 
the  most  pleasant  on  the  circuit.  H. 


Jacob  Brolliar  Registers  an  Objection. 

Visalia,  Cal.,  April  30,  1905. 
Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman:— The  long 
looked  for  Los  Angeles  program  is  at  hand  and  while 
it  is  a  good  one,  I  am  at  a  loss  to  know  why  record 
colts  morit  such  punishment  as  they  received  at  their 
hands.  I  have  another  two-year-old  to  race  and 
6ince  Stonelita  2:20  has  been  disqualified  by  reaEon  of 
her  record,  although  I  have  been  at  tbe  expense  of 
conditioning  her,  why  should  I  start  another  to  meet 
a  like  fate?  If  tbe  winning  of  a  race  or  even  a  single 
heat  is  a  crime  justifying  such  punishment  we  had 
better  turn  our  colts  out. 


Last  fall  at  Hanford  I  was  taken  out  of  the  sulky 
for  alleged  puiling  of  a  race.  A  thousand  advocates  of 
honest  racing  almost  denuded  my  bones  of  the  flesh 
plucking  at  me  for  ti  ps  ihat  they  might  rob  the  other 
fellow.  Had  I  been  left  alone  the  race  was  at  my 
mercy,  but  a  "real  stuff '  teamster  (?)  was  substituted 
and  as  a  result  my  filly  dropped  behind  the  flag,  but 
for  some  reason,  sympathy,  shame  or  what  not,  God 
only  knows,  they  placed  me  third  in  the  summaries, 
levied  and  collected  a  fine  and  the  association  owes 
me  to  this  daj  for  the  third  money  allowed.  Two 
days  later  they  allowed  me  to  start  her  again  in  the 
same  field  of  horses  and  she  chanced  to  be  in  better 
form  and  I  had  the  satisfaction  of  pacing  riDgs  around 
them.  Truly  the  way  of  the  horseman  is  sometimes 
hard.  Fined  and  expelled  for  not  winning,  or  in  the 
case  of  the  Los  Angeles  Association,  disqualified  for 
winning.  I  can  take  defeat  graciously  and  come  up 
smiling,  hut  being  turned  down  in  this  manner  makes 
me  feel  really  sad.  I  made  the  acquaintance  of  so 
many  nice  people  last  summer  and  long  to  meet  them 
again,  and  too,  when  I  compare  the  genteel,  courteous 
and  kindly  treatment  that  I  received  at  the  hands  of 
the  officials  on  the  big  lings  in  comparison  with  the 
pumpkin  show  fair  push,  who  perhaps  never  held  a 
position  higher  than  that  of  a  country  school  trustee, 
provokes  pity  for  their  unbearable  demeanor.  Really, 
I  have  hope  that  our  Los  Angeles  friends  will  yet 
make  it  possible  for  us  to  start  such  colts  as  Delilah 
2:16J,  Mono  Wilkes  2:17£,  Roberta  2:10J,  Stonelita  2:20 
and  Highfly  2:24. 

There  were  other  very  high  class  two-year-olds  last 
year  that  did  not  start  and  for  that  reason  it  looks 
that  the  aboved  named  colts  should  be  allowed  to 
start  out  of  respect  for  past  patronage,  and  viewed 
from  this  light,  I  have  implicit  faith  that  they  will 
yet  gather  us  into  the  fold  at  Los  Angeles.

The  Breeding  of  Marchioness. 

Pacheco,  April  30,  1905. 
Breeder  and  Sportsman:— In  looking  over  some 
newspaper  clippings  of  some  years  back  I  read  an 
account  of  a  yearling  filly  named  Marchioness,  owned 
by  Lee  Shaner.  This  article  says  "this  precious  year- 
ling is  by  Commodore  (owned  by  Lee  Shaner),  a  son 
of  Valensin's  Sidney,  and  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Dawn." 
My  stallion,  Sidmore,  is  also  credited  with  a  per- 
former named  Marchioness.  Now,  what  I  wish  to 
find  out — which  one  of  these  stallions  is  the  sire  of 
Marchioness,  or  are  there  two  mares  with  same  name? 
This  mare  was  sold  at  auction,  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  sales- 
yards,  Market  street  and  Van  Ness  avenue.  Would 
esteem  as  a  favor  any  information  you  might  be  able 
to  give  me  in  regard  to  her.    Yours  truly, 

John  Ott. 

There  has  been  considerable  of  a  mix-up  in  the 
Year  Book  and  other  records  in  regard  to  the  breed- 
ing of  Marchioness.  This  mare  was  foaled  March  10, 
1891,  and  bred  by  A.  L.  Whitney  of  Petaluma.  She 
was  sold  as  a  yearling  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  sale6yard,  May 
17.  1892,  at  the  dispersal  sale  of  the  Whitney  Farm, 
bringing  $2000,  Lee  Shaner  being  the  buyer.  Her 
pedigree,  as  printed  in  the  catalogue  of  the  sale,  is  as 
follows:  Sire,  Commodore;  dam,  Kitty  Irvington  by 
Dawn  6407;  second  dam,  Nelly  Irvington  by  Irvington 
379;  third  dam,  Lady  Allen  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr. 
31;  fourth  dam,  Old  Peanuts  by  the  Morse  Horse.  In 
this  catalogue  Commodore's  breeding  is  given  as  fol- 
lows: Sire,  Sidney  2:19|;  dam,  Brown  Mare  by  Grand 
Moor  2374;  second  dam,  Ethan  Allen  Jr.  mare.  He 
was  foaled  in  1888  and  was  doubtless  the  6ire  of  Mar- 
chioness, as  stated  in  Mr.  Whitney's  catalogue.  The 
Year  Book,  however,  gives  Marchioness  as  by  Sid- 
more 15072  (son  of  Sidney  and  a  mare  by  Privateer); 
but  that  cannot  be,  as  Sidmore  15072  was  foaled  in 
1890,  only  one  year  before  Marchioness  was  foaled.  If 
your  horse  is  Sidmoor  2:17|,  he  was  also  foaled  in  1890 
and,  consequently,  could  not  have  sired  Marchioness. 
Sidmoor  2:17}  is  by  Sidney  out  of  Mamie  Harney  by 
Grand  Moor;  second  dam,  Sarpy  mare  by  Echo.  We 
think  that  as  Sidmoor  2:17J  and  Commodore  were 
both  by  Sidney  out  of  Grand  Moor  mares,  their  names 
were  confounded  by  Mr.  Shaner  when  he  gave  the 
pedigree  of  Marchioness.  Commodore  was  sold  East 
by  Mr.  Valensin  in  1891  or  1892. 


"A  chip  off  the  old  block"  is  Alex  J.  McKerron,  the 
22  year  old  son  of  Mr.  John  A.  McKerron,  the  promi- 
nent harness  maker  of  this  city.  McKerron  senior 
was  a  braw  lad  in  his  young  days  and  the  son  is  fol- 
lowing in  his  footsteps.  At  the  Olympic  Club  in  this 
city  last  week  a  wrestlingtournament  for  the  amateur 
championship  of  the  Coast  took  place.  Young  Mc- 
Kerron entered  in  the  16S  lb.  class  for  light  heavy- 
weights and  was  declared  the  champion.  It  took  just 
five  minutes  and  thirty  seconds  to  decide  the  three 
bouts  necessary  to  declare  tbe  winner  and  in  one  of 
them  he  put  his  opponent  on  the  floor  in  just  20 
seconds.  The  wrestling  was  catch  as  catch  can  and 
was  first  slass  throughout.

Grand  Circuit  Stars  Go  East. 


PLEASANTON,  April  11 — A  big  caravan  of  Grand 
Circuit  horBes  left  Pleasanton  today  and  by  the  time 
this  reaches  the  press  nearly  all  of  the  trotters  and 
pacers  that  have  been  burning  up  the  track  recently 
will  be  eating  their  oats  on  the  cars  somewhere  in  the 
Middle  West.  The  shipments  included  all  of  the 
Butler  horses  in  charge  of  Monroe  Salisbury;  Morosco 
2:12  and  Lady  Zombro  in  care  of  P.  W.  Hodges;  and 
the  fast  McKinney  trotter,  Mack  Mack  2:124,  in 
charge  of  Henry  Helman,  and  if  the  recent  work  of 
some  of  this  lot  count  for  anything,  a  part  of  that 
big  money  down  East  will  go  to  the  horses  that  were 
trained  at  Pleasanton.  Charley  De  Ryder  left  Pleas- 
anton for  the  East  last  week  to  attend  to  some 
business,  but  before  he  packed  his  grip  he  put  the 
finishing  touches  on  about  all  of  his  Grand  Circuit 
prospects,  bo  a  word  about  them  should  be  of  interest. 
The  M.  &  M.  candidates  of  the  Butler  stable  have 
naturally  been  the  center  of  attraction  and  as  there 
are  three  of  them,  Mr.  De  Ryder  expects  to  have  at 
least  one  of  them  in  good  enough  condition  to  buy  a 
few  tickets  on,  although  it  is  a  hard  matter  lo  pick 
the  best  of  the  trio  right  at  present.  None  of  them 
have  ever  started  for  the  money  but  all  have  worked 
in  a  pleasing  way  and  any  of  them  can  shade  2:11 
r'ght  now.  Fred  Direct,  the  black  gelding  by  Direet- 
Frederica  by  Harry  Plummer,  is  a  compactly  made 
horse  of  a  distinctive  Direct  type,  although  he  is  a 
remarkably  ligbt-boned  fellow  and  might  not  stand  a 
gruelling  campaign.  He  has  shown  up  remarkably 
well  in  the  work  and  was  allowed  to  step  a  mile  last 
week  in  2:12  with  the  last  half  in  1:04  and  the  last 
quarter  in  31  seconds.  The  chestnut  mare,  Helen 
Keys,  is  probably  the  "greenest"  of  the  three  and  her 
education  consists  of  only  a  very  few  months'  work, 
but  she  is  a  product  of  the  famous  Santa  Rosa  Stock 
Farm  and  by  Sidney  Dillon,  out  of  a  Piedmont  mare, 
and  naturally  great  things  are  expected  of  her.  She 
is  a  trim  made,  handsome  chestnut  mare  with  a  very 
nice  way  of  going  and,  as  she  has  worked  in  2:12J  with 
a  half  in  1:044,  can  be  expected  to  give  a  good  account 
of  herself.  Danube  has  not  worked  as  fast  as  the 
other  two,  his  best  mile  being  in  2:15},  but  has  shown 
that  he  is  made  of  the  right  material  and  is  considered 
a  2:10  trotter  right  now.  This  feJlow  will  be  a  good 
study  for  the  pedigree  sharps  and  is  not  by  Direct  or 
Director,  as  has  been  printed  in  the  various  entry 
lists,  but  is  a  son  of  Direcho,  he  being  by  Direct,  dam 
by  McKinney,  grandam  by  Echo.  The  dam  of  Danube 
Is  Clara  W.  by  Director  2:17,  grandam  Belle  Echo  2:20 
by  Echo,  third  dam  the  Titus  mare  by  Williamson's 
Belmont,  so  it  will  be  seen  that  he  is  closely  inbred  to 
both  Director  and  Echo,  with  a  little  McKinney  on 
the  side.  Of  the  other  trotters  in  this  stable  the  most 
admired  and  most  talked  of  is  the  little  bay  mare, 
Mamie  R,  that  took  a  three-year-old  record  of  2:15} 
and  was  purchased  by  Mr.  Butler,  this  spring,  from 
Mannie  Reams.  Her  work,  this  spring,  has  been 
limited  and  her  best  mile  was  around  2:25  with  a  half 
in  1:10,  but  she  is  one  of  the  nicest  gaited  trotters  that 
ever  wore  harness,  is  perfectly  mannered  and  i*  known 
to  have  2:08  speed,  so  she  can  be  expected  to  give  a 
good  account  of  herself  in  the  big  stakes  she  ia 
entered  in.  I  expect  the  Eastern  scribes  to  be  calling 
her  the  second  Sweet  Marie  after  they  see  her  work. 

De  Ryder  haB  been  going  along  slow  with  Consuela 
S.  2:0"|,  as  sne  aas  shown  signs  of  being  a  little  dinky 
this  spring,  and  none  of  the  other  trotters  have  done 
anything  worthy  of  special  mention.  There  are  three 
pacers  in  the  stable  that  should  earn  their  oats  this 
Bummer,  and  all  of  them  have  worked  very  well.  Miss 
Josie2:16,  the  full  sister  to  Billy  Red  2:10  by  Glenelg 
out  of  Bunella  (also  dam  of  Lady  Red  2:16|)  by  In- 
graham,  has  turned  the  track  in  2:09,  with  a  half  in 
1:03  and  a  quarter  in  :30,  and  should  do  in  high-class 
company.  Alford  C  2:12},  the  big  gelding  by  Long- 
worth,  has  not  raced  since  1902,  but  he  has  been 
burning  up  the  track  this  spring,  and  has  shown 
parts  of  road  at  a  sensational  clip,  although  his  best 
mile  has  been  in  2:09}.  Ben  F.  2:09}  has  worked  in 
2:10,  with  a  half  in  1:03}  and  a  quarter  in  30J  seconds. 

There  is  another  McKinney  trotter  going  down  the 
big  line  this  year,  and  if  nothing  goes  wrong  he  will 
Burely  be  doing  business  at  the  pay  station.  This  one 
is  Mack  Mack  2:12},  referred  to  above,  and  in  care  of 
Henry  Helman.  He  is  a  strongly  made,  eight-year- 
old,  brown  gelding,  and  is  out  of  the  Gen.  McClellan 
mareNancy,  damalsoof  Bonner  N.  B.  2:17, Winchester 
2:28  and  Twilight  2:30.  This  fellow  has  been  raced 
for  the  past  four  years  in  Idaho,  California,  Wash- 
ington and  Oregon,  and  during  this  time  has  started 
in  thirty-eight  races,  winning  twenty-one  of  them, 
being  second  ten  times  and  never  out  of  the  money. 
He  is  built  to  go  all  day,  is  levelheaded  and  knows 
the  game  thoroughly,  and  evidently  has  his  speed 
with  him  this  spring,  as  he  trotted  a  workout  mile 
the  other  day  in  2:12},  half  in  1:04,  with  the  last  quar- 
ter in  31  seconds. 


The  big  brown  gelding  Morosco  2:12  is  a  son  of 
Wayland  W.-Lady  Moor  by  Grand  Moor,  is  owned  by 
I.N.  Minor  and  is  well  staked  down  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit where  he  will  be  raced  by  Mr.  Hodges.  He  made 
his  first  appearance  in  good  company  last  summer 
and  made  a  very  creditable  showing,  winning  four 
races  in  six  starts,  and  in  the  race  at  Santa  Rosa  in 
which  he  earned  his  record  he  beat  Rita  H.,  Little 
Babe,  R.  W.  P.,  Lady  Madison  and  two  others  in 
straight  heats  in  2:12^,2:124,2:12.  Heis  not  struck 
with  any  remarkably  fine  points  in  his  make-up,  but. 
is  a  racy-looking  gelding  that  has  a  Motionless  way 
of  getting  over  the  ground,  and  works  like  he  can  do 
2:10  right  now.  His  best  mile  this  year  has  been  in 
2:15}  with  the  last  end  of  it  at  a  2:08  clip.  Lad  y  Zom- 
bro by  Zombro,  that  will  be  a  stable  mate  of  Morosco, 
trotted  to  a  record  of  2:24}  at  Los  Angeles  in  1903, 
but  was  not  raced  last  year.  She  is  entered  in  the 
slow  classes  over  East,  and  as  she  recently  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:12},  with  the  last  half  in  1:024,  will  be  worth 
remembering. 

James  Thompson  will  take  along  a  carload  of  trot- 
ters and  pacers  owned  by  Col.  J.  C.  Kirkpatrick,  and 
of  course,  the  outfit  will  be  headed  by  the  consistent 
trotter  John  Caldwell  2:11}  by  Strathway  and  the 
bay  pacer  Albuta  2:24}  by  Altivo  that  is  entered  in 
the  slow  classes.  John  Caldwell  is  working  better 
than  ever  this  spring  and  has  trotted  an  easy  mile  in 
2:12J,  with  a  quarter  in  31}  seconds.  Albuta  has  not 
been  asked  to  pace  a  very  fast  mile  but  worked  a  half 
the  other  morning  in  one  minute  and  is  considered  a 
sure  2:05  pacer. 

A  number  of  other  horses  will  be  shipped  in  a  few 
days  but  none  of  them  will  hardly  go  farther  than 
Denver  where  racing  will  commence  June  17.  Ben 
Chaboya  will  take  the  trotting  gelding  Major  Cook 
that  has  worked  in  2:15}  and  the  pacer  Rey  Del  Diablo 
2:14}  by  Diablo  2:095  while  Worth  Ober  will  take  Mr. 
Croner's  pair  of  pacing  mares  Nance  O'Neil  2:094  and 
Hattie  Croner,  trial  2:11},  by  Bay  Bird  out  of  a  sister 
to  Flying  Jib  2:04. 

All  the  other  horseB  in  training  at  Pleasanton  have 
had  a  chance  to  do  plenty  of  work  in  the  past  month 
and  many  of  them  haye  shown  creditable  work, 
among  others  being  a  mile  in  2:15}  by  the  handsome 
trotting  stallion  Wilmar  by  Wildnut  for  John 
Quinn;  a  mile  in  2:15  by  Edwin  S.  2:08  for  Fred  Chad- 
bourne  and  a  mile  in  2:16,  half  in  1:0b  by  the  four- 
year-old  pacing  filly  Centereye  by  On  Stanley  owned 
by  John  O'Keefe  and  trained  by  Ben  Chaboya.

They  Trot  in  All  Shapes. 

Olema,  April  20,  1605. 
Ed.  B.  &  S. — Peter  Williams  wrote  me  from  San 
Lorenzo  the  other  day  inquiring  about  my  Monterey 
filly  Montjoy  out  of  Lady  Fallis  by  Rafael,  he  by 
Fallis  out  of  Stockton  Maid  by  Chieftain;  Lady  Fallis 
dam  by  Rustic.  I  wrote  him  that  the  filly  was  a 
bright  bay  14  3  before  and  14  2£>ehind,  straight  backed 
and  big  muscled.  My  friend  Williams  replied  that 
he  did  not  like  the  extra  inch  in  height  forward.  As 
Montjoy  is  only  two,  her  shape  is  not  established  by 
any  means.  If  Monterey  could  see  his  daughter  trot 
to  halter  beside  a  saddle  horse,  I  imagine  he'd  wink 
hit  eye  at  his  master  and  say  sotto  voce:  "Peter!  I  say 
Peter!  they  trot  in  all  shapes.     See  me  trot." 

Mr.  WilliamB  writes  me  that  he  and  some  other 
lovers  of  the  light  harness  horse  have  just  completed 
a  half  mile  track  on  the  country  road  between  Hay- 
wards  and  San  Leandro.  He  expected  it  would  be 
ready  to  work  on  this  week.  Hurrah  for  the  track 
and  the  men  who  made  it! 

Long  may  the  patter  of  feet 

Make  the  air  smell  sweet — 

The  granger  turn  his  head 

To  watch  the  colt  he  bred 

Trot  up  the  Haywards  track 

Before  his  neighbor's  blaok. 

What  though  the  day  be  long 

The  farmer  hums  this  song: 

The  horse  is  here  to  stay 

He  works,  he  helps  us  play 

Beginning,  unto  end 

He  is  man's  best  friend 

Fill  up  your  glasses 

Both  lads  and  lassies 

As  a  matter  of  course 

We  will  drink  to  the  horse. 


Information  Wanted. 


the  plains  by  teams,  as  the  term  used  in  early  days. 
They  had  the  following  horses:  Two  iron  gray  stall- 
lions  by  Giles  Ethan  Allen;  these  horses  were  called 
Ethan  and  Messick.  Also  a  large  bay  mare,  breeding 
unknown;  a  pair  of  heavy  draft  horses;  also  a  large 
bob-tailed  horse  that  Mr.  Maxwell  kept  for  quarter 
racing  and  believed  he  called  him  Dutchman;  a  team 
of  chestnut  mares,  Fly  and  Gypsy,  which  he  drove  to 
a  single  seat  top  buggy.  Such  knowledge  might  lead 
to  further  identity  of  the  Maxwell  chestnut  mare  Fly 
arriving  to  this  city  and  State  and  sold  to  the  late 
W.  C.  Ralston  and  now  being  claimed,  by  a  few,  that 
the  mare  Fly,  Gypsy's  mate,  is  the  grandam  of  Lou 
Dillon  1:584,.  If  such  a  team  of  mares  ever  did  arrive 
here  and  were  sold  to  Mr.  Ralston  I  am  now  confident 
that  they  can  be  located  and  proven  beyond  all  doubts 
that  there  is  a  great  error  in  the  claim  that  Fly  by 
Flying  Cloud  was  in  any  way  connected  with  the  queen 
of  all  trotters,  Lou  Dillon  1:58}.    Yours, 

S.  Gamble. 

Death  of  Tommy  Britton  2:06  1-2. 

Letters  received  last  week  frcm  the  American 
trainer,  Andrew  McDowell,  now  resident  abroad, 
have  brought  the  intelligence  of  the  sudden  death, 
from  colic,  of  the  famous  trotting  stallion  Tommy 
Britton  2:064,  who  was  exported  to  Austria  about  a 
year  ago. 

Tommy  Britton  was  a  dark  brown  horse,  foaled  in 
1893  and  bred  by  Thomas  Britton,  Louisville,  Ky., 
from  whom  he  passed  to  Mr.  J.  B.  McFerran,  Jr.,  at 
an  early  age.  His  sire  was  Liberty  Bell  2:24,  an  ex- 
tremely promising  son  of  Bell  Boy  2:19},  whose  career, 
like  his  sire's  was  cut  short  by  an  early  death.  The 
dam  of  Tommy  Britton  was  Keepsake  by  Pancoast 
2:21|;  grandam  Dainty  by  Contractor;  third  dam  the 
noted  Nora  Norman  by  Blackwood,  all  three  of  these 
matrons  being  in  the  "great"  list.  Britton  showed 
Buch  extreme  speed  from  the  first  that  he  was  brought 
out  as  a  yearling,  when  he  made  a  mile  record  of  2:34} 
and  half  mile  record  of  1:13J.  As  a  two-year-old  he 
trotted  in  2:15},  breaking  the  world's  record  for  a  colt 
of  that  age  in  a  race.  He  was  in  retirement  at  three, 
but  at  four  reappeared  and  lowered  bis  record  to 
2:11}.  At  five,  in  the  hands  of  E.  F.  Geera,  he  made  a 
brilliant  Grand  Circuit  campaign,  scoring  2:09}.  In 
the  fall  of  that  year  he  was  purchased  by  Mr.  Jere 
Allis,  of  Isinours,  Minn.,  who  placed  him  in  the  hands 
of  the  late  George  West  of  Chicago. 

His  campaign  the  next  year  (1899)  was  most  memor- 
able. He  lowered  his  record  to  2:08,  and  scored  his 
greatest  triumph  at  the  Columbus  Grand  Circuit 
meeting,  where,  August  4,  he  beat  Cresceus,  Elloree 
and  four  others  and  lowered  the  world's  record  for 
three  consecutive  heats  by  a  trotting  stallion  to  2:08}, 
2:085,  2:08}.  At  Louisville,  Ky.,  in  the  fall  he  also  won 
a  $3000  free-for-all  stallion  race,  beating  Charley  Herr, 
Bingen  and  Monterey.  His  best  record  was  made  the 
next  season  (.1900)  against  time  at  Galesburg,  111., 
with  West  behind  him.  He  had,  in  the  interim,  been 
purchased  at  auction  by  a  syndicate  of  Chicago  horse- 
men, including,  among  others,  Messrs.  F.  S.  Gorton 
and  E.  A.  Lord.  His  turf  career  concluded  with  one 
lost  race  in  1901.  As  a  whole  it  had  included  35  races, 
of  which  he  had  won  22  and  was  but  4  times  unplaced. 
He  won  57  standard  heats,  of  which  47  were  below  2:15 
and  20  below  2:10.  His  winnings  in  stakes  and  purses 
exceeded  $20,000.  In  the  fall  of  1903  the  Chicago 
syndicate  sold  him  at  auction,  the  purchaser  beiDg 
Trainer  W.  J.  Andrews,  representing  a  patron  never 
named,  but  popularly  believed  to  be  Mr.  William 
8:mpson.  He  thence  passed  to  the  Austrians  in  the 
Bpring  of  1904. 

At  the  time  his  record  was  made  Tommy  Britton 
stood  fourth  in  the  list  of  the  world's  fastest  trotting 
stallions,  and  beatill  ranks  sixth.  As  an  individual 
it  may  be  justly  said  that  no  stallion  of  his  sped  ever 
equaled  him — in  blood-like  beauty  and  perfection  of 
finish  he  was  superb.  While  not  a  large  horse,  his 
action  was  so  bold  and  pure  as  to  make  his  appear- 
ance at  two-minute  Bpeed  something  never  to  be  for- 
gotten. In  the  latter  days  of  his  turf  career  he  be- 
came roguish  and  would  not  try — due  without  doubt 
to  his  long  career  and 'severe  early  training;  despite 
which  he  retired  sound.  Had  he  been  a  sure  foal 
getter  it  is  improbable  that  he  would  ever  have  been 
allowed  to  leave  the  United  States,  but,  most  unfortu- 
nately, he  was  not.  On  this  account  and  because  of 
his  extended  turf  labors  he  left  few  foals  behind  him. 
One  of  these  was  that  game  little  trotting  mare  Fan- 
faron  2:114. — Horse  Beview. 


•  San  Francisco,  May  2,  1905. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman: — For  the  benefit  of 
the  trotting  horse  breeders  of  the  worid,  I  would  like 
to  inquire  of  your  readers  if  any  person  can  recall  to 
mind  the  following  horses,  said  to  have  been  imported 
to  this  State,  either  the  last  part  of  the  year  1872  or 
forepart  of  the  year  1873,  by  a  man  named  William 
Maxwell  of  Waupun,  Wis.  This  gentleman  left  that 
town  and  state  some  time  in  1872  in  company  with  Mr. 
Henry  Meink  and  came  to  this  State  by  traveling  over 


Pimlico  race  track,  at  Baltimore,  famous  in  turf 
history  for  more  than  a  generation,  was  sold  at  auction 
recently  under  a  court  order  to  William  P.  Riggs, 
representing  the  Maryland  Jockey  Club,  which  was 
reorganized  last  Bummer.  The  purchase  price  was 
$70,000.  Owing  to  the  announcement  thai  the  prop- 
erty would  be  offered  in  lots  as  well  as  in  its  entirety 
there  has  been  fears  that  the  track  would  go  out  of 
existence.  These  are  set  at  rest  by  the  re=ult  of  the 
sale,  previous  to  which  the  property  belonged  to  the 
Maryland  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  Association.

your  horses  at  Los  Angeles.  Entries  close  May  22nd. 
There  are  fourteen  $1000  purses  to  contend  for  and 
the  conditions  are  the  most  liberal  offered  by  any 
California  association  in  years,  as  only  six  entries  are

They  had  another  afternoon  of  matinee  racing  down 
at  Phoenix,  Arizona,  last  week.  Two  young  Zolocks 
started  and  as  usual  finished  in  front. 


The  Salinas  racetrack  has  never  in  its  history  been 
in  better  condition  for  safe  and  fast  work  than  the 
lessee,  Charles  Whitehead,  has  it  now. 


Walter  Chester  is  now  a  member  of  the  American 
Horse  Breeder's  staff  and  his  letters  over  his  nom  de 
plume  of  "Griffin"  are  as  interesting  as  ever. 

An  offer  of  $8000  was  recently  made  by  Dave  Mc- 
Donald for  the  stallion  Snyder  McGregor  2:07J  now 
in  training  at  Memphis,  but  the  offer  was  refused. 

A  yearling  colt  by  Todd  2:11J  trotted  an  eighth  in 
17J  seconds  the  other  day.  This  is  the  fastest  speed 
ever  shown  by  a  yearling  in  Kentucky  so  early  in  the 
season.  

Sweitzer  2:131  by  Secretary  is  for  sale  at  a  very 
reasonable  figure.  He  is  a  toppy  fellow  and  can  beat 
the  majority  of  roadsters  down  the  pike.  See  adver- 
tisement.   

Today  winds  up  the  racing  season  at  Oakland  track. 
The  farewell  handicap  at  two  and  one-fourth  miles, 
for  a  purse  of  $1500  and  a  cup  is  the  feature  of  the 
program.  

Morosco  2:12  is  being  entered  all  down  the  line  on 
the  Grand  Circuit.  He  should  give  a  good  account  of 
himself  as  he  is  an  all  day  trotter  and  2:10  will  not 
stop  him.  

Charlie  Herr  2:07  is  not  making  a  season  in  the  stud 
this  year.  Uncle  Davy  Cahill  is  preparing  him  for  a 
campaign  on  the  Grand  Circuit.  The  old  horse  looks 
well  and  is  going  sound. 

It  is  reported  tnat  both  the  M.  and  M.  and  C.  of  C. 
Stakes  will  be  changed  to  faster  classes  next  season. 
The  former  will  be  moved  down  five  seconds  and  the 
latter  will  be  for  2:15  pacers.

The  trotting  association  at  Macon,  Ga.,  announces 
that  it  will  follow  the  Memphis  Grand  Circuit  meet- 
ing with  a  week's  trotting  meeting.  Ten  thousand 
dollars  in  purse  moDey  will  be  hung  up. 


The  entry  list  of  the  Kentucky  Futurity  for  mares 
that  will  produce  foals  in  1905  shows  that  developed 
mares  are  constantly  becoming  a  greater  factor  in 
breeding  operations.  In  the  list  of  mares  named  in 
this  great  stake  there  are  302  that  have  records  of 
2:30  or  better.  

Parties  wishing  good  pasturage  for  their  horses  or 
broodmares  should  correspond  with  J.  McCormaek, 
Rio  Vista.  He  bas  the  best  of  green  feed  on  his  place 
until  October.  Horses  can  be  shipped  on  the  Sacra- 
mento boat — an  easy,  safe  trip.  Pasturage,  three 
dollars  per  month. 

Horsemen  are  beginning  to  use  the  five-eighths 
track  near  Sixteenth  street  station,  Oakland,  for 
training  purposes.  During  the  winter  this  track  was 
natively  unused,  but  troUers  and  pacers  are 
now  to  be  seen  there  almost  any  morning,  while  the 
track  is  crowded  on  Sundays. 


Mr.  Rudolph  Spreckels'  fast  pacing  mare  Annie 
Rooney2:17  by  Strathway,  dam  by  Gen.  McClellan 
144,  second  dam  Bette  H.  by  the  thoroughbred  horse 
Langford,  is  the  mother  of  a  very  handsome  yearling 
colt  by  Bonnie  Direct  2:05J  and  has  a  fine  colt  at  foot 
by  Sidney  Dillon.  From  the  appearance  of  these  two 
foals  Annie  Rooney  is  a  great  success  as  a  broodmare. 

A  half  tone  engraving  of  the  colt  Rey  del  Valle  by 
Rey  Direct,  bred  by  Geo.  Davis  of  Pleasanton,  but 
now  owned  by  David  Lee  of  New  York,  is  printed  on 
the  front  page  of  last  week's  American  Sportsman  of 
Cleveland,  and  shows  him  to  be  a  fine  looker  and  a 
Rey  Direct  all  over.  He  paced  a  trial  of  2:06|  laBt 
year  and  will  be  entered  through  the  Grand  Circuit 
in  1906.  

Write  to  George  Ramage  at  Pleasanton  about  that 
colt  Mahdeen  that  he  is  working.  Mahdeen  is  only  a 
two-year-old,  but  be  is  a  trotter  and  a  great  prospect 
entered  in  nearly  $60,000  worth  of  stakes.  The  colt  is 
for  sale.  He  is  owned  by  Mr.  H.  B.  Needham,  whose 
advertisement  can  be  found  in  our  business  pages  this 
week.  Mahdeen  is  by  a  son  of  McKinney  and  his  dam 
is  by  a  son  of  Director. 

J.  B  Iverson,  of  Salinas,  is  the  proud  possessor  of 
a  fine  Searchlight  foal,  a  brown  colt  with  star  and  two 
white  hind  ankles,  foaled  April  28th,  says  the  Salinas 
Journal.  The  dam  is  by  Prince  Neerly,  a  half  brother 
to  Prince  Gift  2:12,  out  of  Salinas  Belle,  the  dam  of 
Dictatress  2:08f.  The  youngster  is  entered  in  the 
$7000  Breeders'  Futurity,  and  like  its  sire  and  dam 
knows  nothing  but  pace. 


The  very  fast  stallion  Potrero  2:21  by  Redondo  will 
make  a  season  at  Eureka,  Humboldt  county  this  year, 
having  been  shipped  there  last  week  by  P.  W. 
Hodges.  Potrero  is  a  standard  and  registered  horse, 
sired  by  Redondo,  son  of  Stamboul,  and  out  of  Minnie 
by  Junio,  son  of  Electioneer,  second  dam  by  Capt. 
Kohl  12,966,  son  of  Whipples  Hambletoniar,  out  of 
that  old-time  broodmare  Lady  Livingstone,  by  Gen.

Word  comes  from  Los  Angeles  that  W.  C.  Durfee 
worked  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels'  trotter  Cronje  an  easy

at  the  Aptos  Farm  by  Sanfly  Smith  and  is  showing  a 
high  rate  of  speed. 

The  new  speedway  and  athletic  grounds  in  Golden 
Gate  Park  Is  beginning  to  assume  shape.  A  steam 
engine  bas  been  installed,  by  which  a  long  steel  cable 
to  which  large  scrapers  are  attached,  is  operated,  and 
the  work  of  grading  down  the  sand  hills  and  filling 
the  depressions  is  rapidly  go'ng  forward.  The  Park 
Commissioners  propose  pushing  the  work  and  there  is 
a  probability  of  the  track  being  finished  before  the 
fall  rains  set  in. 


It  is  reported  from  Keptucky  that  owners  of  trot- 
ting-bred  mares  are"  having  poor  luck  with  the  foals 
this  year.  Not  only  are  the  mares  late  but  quite  a  few 
of  them,  according  to  report,  have  lost  their  foals 
prematurely  and  others  are  so  thin  and  weak  that 
they  give  little  or  no  milk.  The  reason  for  this  latter 
condition  is  said  to  be  the  meagerness  of  the  winter 
pasture  caused  by  the  drouth  of  last  summer  and  fall 
which  also  operated  to  curtail  the  supply  of  forage 
that  was  put  up. 

Los  Angeles  is  to  have  a  speedway  a  mile  and  an 
eighth  long  and  100  feet  wide.  It  will  be  straight 
away  located  on  Alhambra  avenue.  The  Los  Angeles 
Street  Department  has  laid  out  $10,000  in  grading  and 
beautifying  the  drive  and  $3000  more  will  finish  if. 
The  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club  has  planned  to  erect 
an  arch  at  each  end  of  the  course.  Suitable  seats 
will  be  erected  along  the  sides  of  the  Bpeedway  where 
spectators  can  view  the  sport  with' comfort.  Annual 
speedway  parades  will  be  held.

A  rare  chance  to  buy  some  high-class  thorough- 
breds is  offered  by  the  Papinta  Stock  Farm,  Concord, 
Contra  Costa  county  The  death  of  Mr.  Holpin  has 
induced  Mrs.  Holpin  to  sell  all  the  remaining  thor- 
oughbred horses  on  the  farm.  The  English  bred 
stallion  Sagittarius,  son  of  The  Deemster,  a  Matchem 
horse,  is  offered  at  the  ridiculously  low  price  of  $300. 
Sagittarius  was  a  good  race  horse  but  broke  down  and 
was  secured  by  Holpin  to  head  this  farm.  He  should 
be  a  great  sire  if  bred  to  good  mares.  Several  colts 
and  fillies  by  that  grand  old  race  horse  Satsuma  are 
also  offered  at  low  prices.  They  are  all  out  of  good 
mares.     Seethe  advertisement  in  another  column.

Among  the  entries  in  Breeders  Futurity  No.  3,  to 
trot  or  pace  as  two-year-olds  this  year,  was  May 
Logan,  a  full  sister  to  Sir  Albert  S  2:033,  owned  by 
Mr.  E.  A  Mclnerny  of  Honolulu.  Mr.  Mclnerny  made 
payment  of  $10  on  this  filly,  bis  letter  containing  the 
money  hearing  the  Honolulu  postmark  of  March  29th, 
one  day  befoie  payment  was  due.  Theletterdid  not 
reach  Secretary  Kelley,  bowover,  until  April  8tb, 
the  day  on  which  the  list  of  those  making  the  pay- 
ment was  printed  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman, 
consequently  Miiy  Logan's  name  did  not  appear  In 
the  list,  although  it  was  entitled  to  a  place  there. 


Orange  County  Driving  Club. 

Nearly  two  thousand  people  turned  out  to  see  the 
May  Day  horse  show  and  matinee  of  the  Orange 
County  Driving  Club  at  the  Santa  Ana  track,  and  the 
meet  was  pronounced  one  of  the  most  successful  ever 
held  in  southern  California.  In  the  horse  show  there 
were  seven  entries  and  the  three  prizes  went  to 
Corinne  driven  by  I.  Bulas,  The  Kid  driven  by  Dr. 
Lord  and  Dandy  driven  by  Mrs.  Mary  Newman. 

Class  A,  pacing  race  was  first  called  with  four 
starters,  and  in  this,  Prince,  owned  by  S.  T.  McNeill, 
was  first  in  straight  heats  in  2:27J  and  2:29.  Other 
starters  in  the  race  were  Avalo,  owned  and  driven  by 
Fred  Culver,  Lee,  owned  and  driven  by  Carlyle  and 
Birdie  Mac,  owned  by  Sextcn. 

Class  B  trot,  brought  out  Albert  owned  and  driven 
by  City  Treasurer  H.  Connell,  and  Olga,  driven  by 
Wearne.  Albert  acted  badly  at  the  start  and  lost  so 
much  ground  that  Olga  had  an  easy  thing  of  it,  and 
finished  first  in  2:36.  The  next  heat,  however,  Albert 
negotiated  the  distance  in  2:331,  a  good  two  lengths 
ahead  of  the  mare.  The  third  and  deciding  heat  was 
annexed  by  Albert  after  a  bad  start  in  which  the 
brown  mare  got  a  lead  of  two  city  blocks,  but  the 
Neernut  geiding  came  Btrong  at  the  turn  into  the 
stretch  and  beat  the  mare  out  by  over  a  length.  Time 
for  this  heat  was  2:30. 

Class  B  pace  was  the  next  on  the  card,  and  in  this 
race  there  were  four  starters.  Prince  Royal,  a  Lob 
Angeles  horse;  Deacon,  a  youngster  owned  by  O.  W. 
Mowers;  Laura  B,  owned  and  driven  by  J.  W.  Blee 
and  Baldy,  owned  and  driven  by  George  Moesser. 
Laura  B  is  by  Redcloak  from  a  McKinney  mare,  and 
her  license  to  enter  the  race  horse  class  was  amply 
demonstrated  by  her  fine  performance.  She  moveB 
like  a  machine,  is  level  headed  and  has  speed  to  burn. 
Incidentally  it  might  be  mentioned  that  this  fame 
J.  Willis  Blee  is  no  slouch  of  a  driver  and  gave  evi- 
dence of  being  a  master  mechanic  in  this  line  as  well 
as  in  others.  Prince  Royal  looked  like  a  winner  in 
the  preliminary  scoring,  but  he  was  rattled  before  the 
start  and  never  had  a  look  in,  Laura  B  won  handily 
in  straight  heats  in  2:251  and  2:24. 

There  were  three  entries  for  the  claES  A  trot,  but 
one  was  scratched,  leaving  Flasb,  owned  by  G.  B. 
Chandler  and  McKinney.  owned  by  Wagner  of  Ful- 
lerton  to  compete  for  the  purse.  It  was  a  pretty  race 
all  the  way  through,  but  the  brown  mare  had  too 
much  speed  for  the  Fullerton  horse  and  won  handily. 
Time  2:27  and2:24J. 

Class  C  trot  was  filled  by  five  starters,  and  the  field 
consisted  of  Beauty,  owned  by  Tiffany  of  Orange; 
Queen  owned  by  Parker  of  Orange;  Wenja,  owned  by 
Ernest  Madden  of  Santa  Ana;  Cresceus,  owned  by 
Devinney;  Fuller, owned  by  Nicolas  of  Fullerton  and 
an  unknown,  owned  by  another  Fullerton  resident 
named  Ortega.  This  race  was  won  quite  handily  by 
the  Nicolas  entry.  Wenja  had  more  speed  than 
Fuller,  but  tired  after  the  half.     Time,  2:36£. 

A  handsome  silver  cup  was  presented  to  Wagner,  of 
Fullerton,  by  the  club  as  the  winner  of  three  races 
during  the  first  year  of  the  club's  existence  and  a  gold 
locket  and  charm  was  also  presented  to  Secretary 
Madden  of  the  Driving  Club,  the  presentation  speeches 
in  both  cases  being  made  by  Dr.  R.  A.  Lord.  The 
meeting  closed  shortly  after  5  o'clock  and  the  big 
crowd  dispe-sed  in  most  orderly  manner  and  on  all 
sides  was  heard  the  expression  of  opinion  that  the 
meeting  was  the  best  since  the  days  of  Silkwood. 


Raced  in  the  Mud  at  Concord. 


The  May  Day  races  at  Concord  had  quite  a  damper 
put  on  them  by  the  weather  god.  It  began  raining  at 
12:30  and  by  2  o'clock,  the  time  set  for  the  races  to 
begin,  the  track  was  a  sea  of  mud.  By  consent  of  all 
concorned,  the  road  race  and  the  matinee  race  were 
out  from  three  in  five  to  two  in  three  and  the  free-for- 
all  and  running  race  were  declared  off.  In  spite  of 
the  downpour  which  continued  through  the  after- 
noon, about  250  people  were  in  attendance,  and  nice 
weather  would  have  brought  out  a  crowd  three  times 
as  large.  The  meeting  was  given  by  W.  S.  Clark, 
lessee  of  the  track.  Messrs.  Walker,  Perry  and  Wil- 
liams acted  as  judges,  and  C.  F.  Day,  of  Alameda, 
who  has  his  stallion  Dictatus  at  Concord,  acted  as 
Btarter. 

The  first  race  for  local  road  horses  was  won  by 
Dick  McGinty.  Birdie  D.  won  the  first  heat  in  a  drive, 
and  Ken o  Wilkes  took  the  third  heat  after  McGinty 
had  made  a  tired  break. 

The  second  race  was  won  in  good  styie  by  Mr. 
Fleming's  Pilot.  Kilgore's  Crimp  was  a  good  second, 
and  Dunham's  Flyaway  showed  lots  of  speed  and 
might  have  won  had  the  track  been  good.  Flyaway 
is  by  Comet  Wilkes  and  worked  a  half  in  l:10j  and  a 
mile  in  2:28.  Crimp  is  by  Abhotsford,  Jr.,  and  has 
worked  a  half  in  1:13. 

The  stallion  Dictatus  has  been  bred  to  over  forty 
mares  here  this  year. 

Mr.  Clark  will  hold  races  here  again  on  July  4th, 
for  which  good  purses  will  be  hung  up.

The  catalogue  of  the  Calais  Stock  Farm,  the  home 
of  Nancy  Hanks  2:04,  the  world's  fastest  trotting 
broodmare,  ha9  been  received.  It  is  handsomely 
printed  and  one  of  the  most  complete  farm  catalogues 
issued  this  year.  The  compilations  were  made  by 
Arthur  Caton  Thomas  and  show  much  research.  The 
stallionB  at  Calias  Stock  Farm  are  Lord  Roberts, 
Baron  Sllver,Oakley  Baron  and  The  Sovereign.  There 
are  fifty  high  bred  broodmares  The  catalogue  is  an 
evidence  of  the  progresslveness  of  Mr.  J.  M.  Johnson, 
proprietor  of  the  farm. 


San  Bernardino  County  Driving  Club. 

The  second  meet  of  the  San  Bernardino  County 
Driving  Club,  held  on  May  1st,  was  a  grand  success  in 
number  of  entries  and  attendance;  no  less  than  5000 
people  gathered  at  the  Association  park  to  wit- 
ness the  contests  for  the  six  valuable  trophies  to  be 
raced  for. 

The  free-for-all  trot  did  not  fill,  there  being  only  one 
horse,  Early  Bird  (owned  by  Dr.  I.  W.  Hozelett)  in 
condition  to  race;  this  game  mare  and  her  valiant 
owner,  by  his  request,  was  permitted  to  race  with  the 
free-for-all  pacers  in  a  perfect  gale  of  wind  and  dust; 
the  first  heat  was  won  by  Willit,  a  very  high  class  son 
of  Silkwood,  driven  by  his  owner,  Alex  M.  Wilson, 
Secretary  of  the;Riverside  Driving  Club;  time,  2:18}, 
with  Early  Bird  lapping.  The  second  heat  was  a 
repetition  of  the  first,  time  2:20;  Norda,  the  good 
pacer  by  Mercury,    only  started  to  fill. 

Three-minute  class,  trotting,  with  four  entries,  had 
three  starters,  Widow  Machree  by  Silkwood,  Thurza 
by  Zolock  and  Ben  Z.  by  Zolock;  Ben  Z.  won  first 
heat,  time  2:51;  second  and  third  heats  won  by  Widow 
Machree  with  her  daughter  Thurza  second,  time  2:53 
and  3.00.  The  one-mile  dash,  2:40  pacers,  wilh  four 
entries,  had  three  starters,  Fernwood  by  Silkwood, 
owned  and  driven  by  her  owner,  F.  E  Binder,  Presi- 
kent  of  the  Riverside  Driving  Club,  won;  time,  2:29. 
This  dash  was  stoutly  contested  by  as  game  a  horse 
and  her  driver,  Mr.  E.  D.Roberts,  as  ever  rode  the 
circle.  Mr.  Roberts  will  go  to  Riverside  on  their  next 
meet  and  give  <dr.  Binder  and  his  Silkwood  a  race 
there. 

The  2:35  class,  trotting,  had  six  entries,  four  of 
which  started;  won  by  Freda  S.  by  Lynmont  with  her 
owner,  J.  B.  Mullen,  driving.  Teddy  Home,  driven 
by  James  Campbell,  a  very  close  second,  with  Con- 
chita  and  Nina  Bonita"  very  close  up;  time,  2:33. 
Second  heat,  a  repetition  of  the  first  with  Teddy 
Home  drawn;  Conchita  second,  Nina  Bonita  third. 
The  driving  in  this  race  was  commendable  to  every 
starter. 

The  2:40  class  pacehad  fiveentries  and  four  starters, 
won  by  Roscoe  another  son  of  Silkwood  driven  by  F. 
G.  Beerwell,  time  2:38,  with  Candy  Dan  owned  and 
splendidly  driven  by  B.  L.  Hutchins  of  Redlands  a 
close  second;  the  second  heat  was  won  by  Gertrude 
driven  by  Nick  Young  in  a  masterly  way,  time  2:34}; 
third  heat  was  won  by  Roscoe,  time  2:31. 

The  2:40  class,  trotting,  there  were  seven  entries 
with  three  starters;  first  heat  won  (in  her  maiden 
race)  by  Alto  Rio  a  very  fine  mare  by  Zombro,  owned 
by  H.  B.  Smith  of  Colton,  time  2:45;  second  heat  won 
by  Nancy,  owned  and  driven  by  Newcombe,  time  2:42; 
third  and  fourth  heats  won  by  Bonnie  June  by  Zolock, 
time  2:40}  and  2:43  Bonnie  June  is  a  three-year-old, 
owned  and  driven  by  her  owner  J.  E.  Fairchild  of 
Redlands.  She  has  a  level  head  and  a  very  fine  way 
of  going. 

The  three  minute  class,  pacing,  had  seven  entries 
all  starting,  won  by  Daisy  Mason,  owned  and  raced  by 
L.  E.  Shaw  of  Redlands,  first  heat  2:40,  second  2:44, 
with  Joy  another  son  of  Silkwood,  a  close  second 
o  vned  and  well  driven  by  L.  E.  Kiefhaber.  Thus 
ends  the  second  rratinee  event  of  the  San  Bernardino 
County  Driving  Club,  a  pronounced  success,  barring 
the  extreme  speed  records  the  horses  were  capable  of 
making  on  a  good  day  and  track. 

Mr.  A.  C.  Denman,  Jr.,  President  of  the  San  Ber- 
nardino Valley  Traction  Co.  will  offer  a  very  fine  cup 
for  the  free-for-all  trotting  at  our  next  event.  Six 
horses  in  these  races  were  either  sired  by  Silkwood  or 
had  a  dam  sired  by  him.  ALCANTELL.UM.

To  Breed  Fast  Trotters  Look  to  the   Structural 
Points. 


[Hawley  in  Kentucky  Stook  Farm] 
In  a  recent  article  on  the  subject  of  how  to  breed  a 
J: Hi  trotier,  Casper  L.  RedBeld  deals  with  a  question 
which  I  think  is  new  to  most  students  of  breeding, 
and  that  is  the  tendency  of  some  stallions  to  beget  a 
preponderance  of  performers  belonging  to  one  sex. 
There  is  no  question  that  certain  families  are  more 
conspicuous  through  the  male  or  female  line,  as  the 
case  may  be,  than  in  producing  sires  or  fast  turf  per- 
formers, as,  for  example,  Mambrino  Patchen  owes 
most  of  hi9  reputation  to  his  daughters,  and  the  same 
is  in  a  measure  true  of  Nutwood  and  several  other 
stallions  that  could  be  mentioned.  In  is  unquestionably 
true  that  many  sires  hare  begotten  a  preponderance 
of  performers  of  one  sex,  and  it  may  be,  and  very  likely 
is,  true  that  much  can  be  accomplished  by  following 
the  theory  or  sj  stem  enlarged  upon  by  Mr.  Redfield 
In  his  argument.  He  says:  "If  the  mare  we  find  is 
one  whose  best  relatives  on  both  sides  are  stallion 
performers,  then  her  inheritance  is  strong  in  the 
male  line  instead  of  the  female  line,  and  the  intention 
should  be  to  get  a  stallion  from  her."  There  is  un- 
questionably more  logic  in  the  argument,  for  statistics 
will  show  that  the  results  from  this  line  of  breeding 
corroborate  it.  I  think,  however,  that  it  is  impossible 
to  draw  the  line  as  closely  as  Mr.  Redfield  does  in 
selecting,  for  example,  a  stallion  like  McKinney,  in 
support  of  his  argument,  for  while  it  is  true  that  this 
sire  got  the  greatest  race  mare  the  world  ever  saw, 
he  has  sired,  with  that  exception,  more  really  fast 
horses  than  mares.  Sidney  Dillon,  on  the  other  hand, 
owes  most  of  his  reputation  to  his  daughters,  and  it 
willdoubtless  be  good  judgment  to  prefer  fillies  rather 
than  colts  from  him.  The  subject  of  breeding  a  2:10 
trotter,  which  begins  the  article  in  question,  is  a  most 
interesting  one  and  difficult  of  any  satisfactory  solu- 
tion, and  yet  the  time  must  come  when  it  will  be  as 
easy  to  produce  2:10  trotters  as  it  now  is  2:30  per- 
formers. Two-ten  performers  are,  or  will  be,  when 
breeding  the  light-harness  horse  becomes  a  scientific 
proposition  or  a  scientifically  applied  one,  the  result 
of  long  lines  of  performers  and  producerscoupled  with 
wise  individual  selections  as  to  conformation.  At  the 
end  of  six  generations  there  will  be  sixty-two  factors, 
and  if  each  was  possessed  of  excellence  in  conforma- 
tion, racing  ability,  extreme  speed,  the  animal  in 
which  these  crosses  are  united,  if  he  himself  is  so  con- 
structed physically  as  to  carry  out  in  bis  action  the 
instinct,  a  great  trotter  must  be  the  result.  Speed 
undoubtedly  is  specific;  it  comes  from  the  brain,  and 
f  the  anatomical  structure  is  like  a  well-made  machine 
and  runs,  for  example,  like  a  perfect  made  watch, 
perfection  in  its  nearest  approach  is  found. 

The  reason  that  Lou  Dillon  is  capable  of  such  tre- 
mendous achievements  is  because  her  mentality  is  not 
prevented  playing  its  part  by  faulty  conformation,  her 
structure  is  such  that  physically  she  is  capable  of 
carrying  out  the  dictates  of  her  mentality.  No  one 
trotter,  no  matter  how  intensely  bred  or  how  stroDg 
is  his  trotting  inheritance,  or  how  great  his  brain, 
can  be  expected  to  attain  a  high  rate  of  speed  unless 
his  structural  conformation  is  such  that  his  machinery 
works  easily.  For  instance,  trotters  have  been  known 
who  possessed  a  marvelous  amount  of  speed,  a  will- 
ingness to  trot,  that  are  hopelessly  handicapped  by  a 
faulty  conformation  and  are  rendered  nearly  useless 
as  a  result  of  this.  Take,  for  example,  the  stallion 
Metellas,  one  of  the  fastest  trotters  that  has  been 
seen  in  years,  yet  incapable  of  being  a  truly  great 
horse  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  he  bangs  his  knees  to 
such  an  extent  as  to  throw  him  on"  his  stride  and 
bruise  the  leg  itself.  Metallas  bangs  his  knees  be- 
cause at  least  one  of  bis  legs  is  put  on  him  improperly, 
and  no  amount  of  thought  on  the  part  of  the  black- 
smith has  been  able  to  eradicate  this  defect  in  his 
gait.  A  badly  gaited  trotter  is,  as  a  rule,  one  that  is 
not  properly  poised,  properly  balanced  in  conforma- 
tion, and  some  of  the  best  horses  that  have  ever  been 
seen  wore  prevented  from  being  possessed  of  even 
greater  capacity  as  the  ie6ult  of  a  fault  or  defect  in 
their  physical  make-up.  Whenever  a  horse  possesses 
speed  which  is  specific  it  comes  from  the  brain,  and 
the  more  nearly  perfect  be  is  in  conformation  the 
greater  his  turn  of  speed.  It  is  utterly  useless  to 
attempt  to  establish  any  rule  by  which  a  fast  trotter 
can  bo  bred,  if  no  regard  be  paid  to  the  structural 
points  of  a  horso,  and  so  thoroughly  Is  this  under- 
stood by  breeders  and  owners  of  the  thoroughbred 
that  no  matter  bow  rich  the  blood  lines,  little  faith  Is 
placed  in  the  horse  unless  he  is  properly  shaped. 
There  have  been  Instances,  of  course,  where  some  very 
great  racehorses  lacked  the  superficial  beauty  that  Is 
bo  attractive,  yet  which  possessed  v<  ry  nearly  perfect 
points,  and  it  tan  be  said  without  fear  of  contradic- 
tion wherever  Is  seen  a  really  great  race  horse  there 
is  also  found  one  of  many  perfect  points  in  conforma- 
tion.   The  action  of  a  horse  Is  controlled  largely  by 


the  manner  in' which  he  Is  put  together,  and  it  is  a 
recognized  fact  that  certain  bones  influence  the  action 
to  such  an  extent  that  a  faulty  way  of  going  can  be 
attributed  to  a  definite  reason. 

Breeders  of  the  light  harness  horse  for  many  years 
almost  entirely  overlooked  anything  regarding  the 
horse  except  his  breeding,  and  it  is  for  this  reason 
that  the  results  have  been  more  or  less  by  chance,  for 
while  a  well  gaited  trotter  is  more  likely  to  sire  fault" 
less  action  than  one  with  a  rough  way  of  going,  the 
average  breeder  up  to  the  last  decade  paid  littleatten- 
tion  to  this  fact,  and  patronized  a  rough-going  one  as 
readily  as  the  smoothest  actioned  trotter  to  be  found. 
There  is  not  the  slightest  doubt  in  the  world  that  a 
2:10  trotter  can  be  produced  with  Eome  degree  of 
certainty,  and  by  that  I  mean  if  the  proper  attention 
both  to  breeding  and  conformation.  Any  man  who 
builds  up  a  pedigree,  and  at  the  same  time  is  particu- 
lar that  each  animal  in  it  is  a  good  individual,  a  well- 
gaited,  well-mannered  trotter,  will  attain  a  greater 
degree  of  success  than  the  man  who  merely  piles 
one  cross  on  another  without  regard  to  the  indi- 
vidual merits  of  the  animals  he  is  using  for  breeding 
purposes.  So  careless  were  breeders  in  the  past  that 
very  few  if  any  discarded  a  stallion  or  mare  that  was 
of  faulty  conformation,  and  in  fact  a  majority  of  them 
were  incapable  of  judging  whether  or  not  the  mem- 
bers of  their  stud  were  individually  good,  bad  or 
indifferent.  Within  the  past  few  years  much  more 
attention  has  been  paid  to  the  subject  of  conformation 
than  formerly,  and  today  a  mare  deficient  in  this 
respect  is  not  likely  to  command  anything  like  the 
same  figure  when  taken  up  toauction  as  one  of  greater 
excellence  in  conformation.  It  is  very  mueb  easier  to 
build  up  a  pedigree  of  stout  blood  lines  than  it  is  one 
in  which  each  individual  was  a  well-made,  well- 
balanced,  properly  constructed  animal,  and  yet  even 
this  can  be  done  by  following  some  established  rule  of 
discarding  any  mare  or  stallion  that  does  not  come  up 
to  the  requirement.  Breeding  for  speed  is  distinctly 
a  science,  and  great  results  have  been  attained  by  men 
who  followed  closely  the  strict  rule  regarding  excel- 
lence in  conformation  and  superiority  in  blood  lines. 
The  late  Lord  Falmouth  was  undoubtedly  the  most 
successful  breeder  of  thoroughbreds  the  world  ever 
saw,  for  he  produced  more  Derby  and  Oaks  winners 
than  any  of  his  contemporaries.  His  plan  was  never 
to  use  a  mare  for  breeding  purposes  that  was  not 
of  stake  form,  and  more  than  once  he  has  refrained 
from  starting  a  two  year-old  that  he  was  positive  could 
win  a  stake,  but  instead  relegated  her  to  the  stud.  He 
tried  his  fillies  under  the  very  highest  test  of  a  race 
horse,  which  is  a  trial  with  a  horse  of  known  ability, 
and  none  but  those  that  displayed  real  stake  capacity 
were  used  by  him.  He  never  raced  his  mares  to  excess 
and  after  many  years  as  a  breeder  he  had  succeeded 
in  building  up  from  generation  to  generation  families 
of  thoroughbreds  in  which  nearly  if  not  all  were  not 
only  possessed  of  great  class,  but  also  as  nearly  per- 
fect individually  as  possible. 

Imagine,  if  you  can,  a  breeder  of  trotters  adopting 
this  method  and  keeping  for  breeding  purposes  only 
the  best-made,  best-gaited,  fastest  and  best-bred 
fillieshe  owned  and  discarding  all  who  were  anything 
short  of  superlatively  great.  At  the  end  of  twenty- 
five  years  he  would  have  built  up  his  bloodlines  to 
such  a  degree  of  perfection  that  he  could  be  almost 
sure  of  his  results,  and  while  all  his  foals  could  not 
develop  into  high-class  race  horses,  he  would  be  al- 
most sure  of  producing  many  of  more  than  ordinary 
capacity.  A  pedigree  of  six  crosses  on  both  the 
paternal  and  maternal  side,  in  which  every  animal 
was  a  trotter  and  a  producer,  would  furnish  the 
thoroughbred  trotter  (if  that  word  can  be  applied  to 
ihe  light-harness  horse),  and  if  the  foal  represented 
by  this  pedigree  was  a  really  good  individual,  was 
shaped  properly,  built  on  proper  structural  lines,  he 
would  be  a  trotter  without  much  doubt,  and  from 
among  a  number  of  just  such  as  he  there  would  come 
a  trotting  champion.  The  laws  of  heredity  are  eo 
strong  that  whenever  the  right  method  of  breeding 
was  followed  and  good  judgment  displayed  in  select- 
ing, failures  can  be  accounted  for  only  through  some 
defect.  One  hundred  and  fifty  years  of  scientific 
breeding  of  the  thoroughbred  has  produced  a  ty  pe  of 
horse  that  is  possessed  of  extreme  speed,  and  no 
longer  does  the  breeder  of  thoroughbreds  have  to 
wait  until  the  horse  reaches  maturity  before  he  knows 
whether  or  not  he  has  a  race  horse.  Almost  every 
thoroughbred  that  is  trained  at  all  can  run  very  fast; 
in  fact,  one  has  nearly  as  much  6peed  as  another,  and 
the  only  difference  between  them  is  that  which  is 
caused  by  the  possession  class,  or  the  lask  of  it.  One 
hundred  yearling  thoroughbreds  can  be  taken  to  a 
raco  course  and  galloped  for  thirty  days,  and  then 
given  a  trial  of  an  eighth,  and  there  will  not  be  more 
than  a  fraction  of  a  second's  difference  in  the  work  of 
any  of  them,  yet  among  the  number  will  be  found 
comparatively  worthless  ones,  and  some  of  these  may 
be  as  fast  as  any  of  the  others,  yet  because  they  laok 


class  will  be  beaten  by  the  race  horses  of  the  bunch. 
One  hundred  and  fifty  years  of  scientific  breeding  of 
the  thoroughbred  has  produced  uniform  speed,  and 
buyers  of  yearlings  never  consider  the  matter  in  mak- 
ing their  purchases,  for  they  know  that  the  only 
question  in  their  minds  is  whether  or  not  he  can  stay 
and  race  and  win,  all  of  which  depends  on  his  pos- 
sessing class.  The  time  must  surely  come  when  the 
American  trotter  will  be  produced  in  such  a  state  of 
perfection  that  yearlings  after  a  certain  amount  of 
education  will  have  almost  as  much  speed  as  ever  in 
their  lives,  and  when  that  point  is  reached,  2:10  trot- 
ters can  be  bred  with  some  degree  of  certainty, 
for  a  well-built,  well-developed,  properly  constructed 
colt,  well  developed  muscularly,  with  plenty  of  sub- 
stance and  quality,  will  learn  to  trot  in  2:10,  although 
that  amount  of  speed  will  not   be  considered  much 

above  the  ordinary.

Blind  Bridles  on  Horses. 


While  there  is  much  difference  of  opinion  with 
reference  to  the  necessity  for  using  blind  bridles  on 
horses,  the  reasons  why  they  should  not  be  used 
would  seem  to  overbalance  reasons  the  opposite. 
Some  good  authorities  argue  in  favor  of  their  use, 
while  others  equally  good  argue  that  they  are  not 
only  unnecessary  but  positively  detrimental.  The 
argument  more  commonly  advanced  favoring  the  use 
of  blind  bridles  claims  that  they  tend  to  prevent 
horses  from  frightening  at  objects  which  would  other- 
wise be  seen  by  them  and  at  which  they  would  not 
become  frightened.  There  is,  of  course,  a  measure  of 
truth  in  the  argument  but  it  is  at  least  questionable  if 
horses  do  not  take  fright  more  frequently  from  the 
noise  made  by  objects  which  they  cannot  see  than  by 
objects  which  come  into  view.  Take,  for  instance, 
the  automobile.  The  danger  would  seem  to  be  greater 
from  such  a  vehicle  coming  up  behind  and  passing  it 
on  the  highway  when  not  in  sight  than  if  the  horse 
had  been  permitted  to  see  it. 

If  horses  were  accustomed  to  the  sight  were  to  be- 
come frightened  while  they  are  young,  they  would 
earn  in  time  to  lose  that  fear,  and,  therefore,  could  be 
safely  driven  when  meeting  such  objects  or  when 
overtaken  by  them  without  the  necessity  of  hiding 
the  same  from  their  vision. 

Some  have  claimed  that  horses  drive  better  when 
the  eyes  are  hidden.  They  argue  that  the  horse 
which  may  have  learned  to  shirk  will  go  at  a  better 
gait  when  he  cannot  see  the  motion  of  the  whip  in  the 
hand  of  the  driver.  We  do  not  think  there  is  much 
of  an  argument  in  this  claim.  The  horse  that  is  in- 
clined to  shirk  will  shirk  with  or  without  blinds  and 
if  be  can  see  the  motion  of  the  whip  in  the  hand  of 
the  driver  will  oftentimes  improve  his  gait  without  it 
being  necessary  to  have  the  same  laid  upon  him. 


The  World's  Horse  Supply. 

In  the  paper  read  at  the  Royal  United  Servic 
Institution,  on  the  supply  of  horses  in  wartime,  Major 
J.  Monro,  of  the  British  army  veterinary  department, 
said  that  it  was  estimated  that  the  supply  of  the 
world  was  about  eighty  millions  of  horses.  Europe 
there  were  forty  millions, in  North  and  South  America 
twenty-five  millions, in  Asia  eleven  millions, in  Austra- 
lasia two  millions,  and  in  Africa  one  million  and  a 
quarter.  Great  attention  was  paid  to  breeding  by  the 
government  of  Russia,  with  its  supply  of  twenty-three 
millions  of  horses.  Germany  had  4,183,000  borEes, 
and  it  was  essentially  an  irr  porting  country.  France, 
with  2,900,000  and  Algeria,  205,000  horses,  required 
all  the  animals  they  possessed.  In  Austria-Hungary, 
there  were  4,020,000  horses,  99  per  cent  of  them  being 
bred  by  the  peasants.  At  the  present  time  there  is 
a  great  exportation  of  American  horses  to  Canada 
while  the  exportation  to  the  United  Kingdom  had 
fallen  off.  In  the  British  empire  as  a  whole  there 
were  only  eight  millions  of  horses.  There  was  a  short- 
age in  the  colonial  6upply,  and  he  suggested  that 
encouragement  should  be  given  to  horse-breeding  in 
the  colonies,  so  that  more  custom  might  be  given  to 
them,  instead  of  having  to  go  to  foreign  countries  in 
time  of  need.  In  his  judgment,  also,  South  Africa 
would  in  time  become  a  great  field  for  horse-breeding 
operations,  because  a  good  foundation  stock  had  now 
been  laid,  though  the  subsequent  breeding  operations 
would  need  careful  supervision.  For  the  homesupply 
of  the  army,  20,000  horses  were  registered  to  meet 
immediate  requirements  on  mobilization. 


Horsemen  Recommend  Caustic  Balsam. 


Dallas.  Texas,  Dec.  6, 1904. 
The  Lawrence-Williams  Co.,  Cleveland,  O  : 

Your  letter  at  hand  and  it  calls  to  mind  when  I  got  Mr. 
Greiner  to  order  the  first  bottle  01  Gombault's  Caustic  Balsam. 
Then  I  got  him  to  handle  it,  as  I  spoke  so  highly  of  it,  after  I  had 
used  it.  I  had  a  talk  the  other  day  with  a  horseman  friend  of 
mine,  and  he  asked  me  which  blister  I  used  most.  I  told  him,  as  I 
would  any  one  that  Gombault's  Caustic  Balsam  was  the  best  I 
bad  ever  tried,  and  when  I  say  that  I  am  not  throwing  any  roses.

TOZER'S     TURF     TALK. 


The  race-meeting  which  began  last  November  at 
Emeryville  end9  this  afternoon  in  a  blaze  of  financial 
glory.  That  twenty-three  bookmakers  should  be 
doing  business  In  the  big  ring  at  the  wind-up  of  a  six- 
months'  session  is  truly  phenomenal,  considering  the 
population  the  C.  J.  C.  has  to  draw  upon.  It  again 
emphasizes  the  fact  that  the  people  of  this  section  are 
racing-mad  and  that  they  patronize  all  sorts  of  games 
mo9t  enthusiastically  and  liberally.  There  are  no 
better  sports  in  the  world  than  the  people  that  make 
their  home  by  the  sunset  sea.  The  race-meeting, 
when  dissected,  discloses  a  decided  lack  of  form  in  so 
many  cases  that  the  wonder  is  the  dope  students  did 
not  tear  down  the  judges'  stand  and  handle  the 
officials  roughly  for  their  failure  to  bring  the  dis- 
honest owners  and  trainers  that  operated  hereabouts 
to  the  bar  of  turf  justice.  In  marked  contrast  to 
most  meetings,  however,  the  runniDg  became  more 
formful  as  the  time  for  closing  drew  near.  The  fields 
have  been  larger  this  season  than  ever,  the  betting 
has  been  good  from  beginning  to  end,  and  the  laurels 
of  war  rest  not  upon  the  brows  of  the  bookies  or  the 
general  public.  They  have  gone  to  a  few  owners  who 
seemed  to  bet  on  the  right  ones  with  wonderful  pre- 
cision, the  winners  they  played  being  for  the  most 
part  at  prices  ranging  from  4  to  8  to  1.  This  is  tbe 
story  of  r-he  penciler,  who  has  seen  his  coin  transferred 
in  chunks  from  his  till  to  the  pockets  of  the  "wise." 
Joe  Harlan  at  last  accounts  was  $34,000  to  the  bad; 
Joe  Rose  close  to  $30,000,  Bill  Jackman,  120,000;  the 
Cartwright  books,  over  $20,000;  while  other  pencilers 
have  harrowing  tales  to  tell  of  losses  ranging  from 
$5000  to  $12,000.  The  Oakland  Club  folks  are  well 
ahead  on  the  season,  lam  told ;  Dave  Honeyman  made 
something  like  $10,000,  while  three  or  four  others 
have  their  balance  on  the  right  side  of  the  ledger  to 
the  extent  of  $2000  to  $8000.  The  N.  C.  J.  C.  has 
made  a  lot  of  money,  and  stockholders  will  draw 
magnificent  dividends.  More  vigilant  officials  would 
have  caught  many  a  turf  robber  red-handed  this 
season,  made  an  example,  and  cleared  the  atmosphere 
mightily.  The  "form  reversals"  that  took  place  at 
Emeryville  were  simply  amazing  to  anyone  knowing 
anything  of  that  sort  of  thing,  and  while  the  public 
which  accorded  such  magnificent  support  to  the  rac- 
ing waited  patiently  for  "something  to  drop,"  they 
almost  invariably  waited  in  vain.  There  were  a  few 
punishments  meted  out,  but  generally  the  offender 
was  "white-washed"  and  allowed  to  continue  in  this, 
the  wrong  game  for  him,  for  he  was  fully  equipped  to 
cast  the  deeds  of  Claude  du  Val  and  Jack  Sheppard 
in  deepest  shade,  judging  by  the  utter  lack  of  fear  of 
the  dispensers  of  justice  which  he  displayed  upon  the 
racetrack.  

Father  Catcham  has  clinched  his  claim  to  the  two- 
year-old  championship  by  winning  five  good  races  in 
rapid  succession,  his  victories  for  the  most  part  being 
of  the  run-away-and-hide  description.  He  is  a  good" 
looking  bay  colt  by  Candleblack  (a  son  of  imp.  Candle- 
mas, I  believe)  out  of  Panquita  by  Tehachipi.  Candle"

Cella,  of  Cella,  Adler  &  Tilles,  is  trying  to  secure  a 
controlling  interest  in  the  new  Elm  Ridge  track  at 
Kansas  City,  in  which  Ed  Corrigan  has  an  interest  of 
$130,000.  It  appears  that  Barney  Schreiberis  "stand- 
ing in"  with  Cella,  and  with  his  stock  and  that  of 
several  who  are  not  friendly  to  Mr.  Corrigan,  the 
member  of  the  firm  whose  methods  called  down  the 
wrath  of  Gov.  Folk  may  succeed  in  securing  the 
Interest  he  desired.  Schrieber  makes  a  big  mistake 
in  casting  his  lot  with  the  W.  J.  C,  or  racing  trust  of 
the  Middle  West,  and  why  he  should  "go  back"  on

The  Horse  for  the  Farmer  to  Raise. 


Sonfriere  again  defeated  Honiton  last  Wednesday 
at  a  mile  and  a  furlong,  the  distance  being  run  in  1:53J 
over  a  track  a  trifle  slow.  The  Ormonde  mare  has 
had  lots  of  racing  of  late,  and  it  is  thought  she  is  just 
a  trifle  stale.  Possart's  win  on  the  same  day  was  a 
notable  one.  Falling  to  his  knees  after  they  had  gone 
less  than  a  furlong  and  cut  off  a  couple  of  times,  he 
came  on  in  the  homestretch  and  won  like  a  horse  of 
considerable  "class."  Lucrece,  recently  sold  at  auction 
by  W.  O'B.  Macdonough  for  $1250,  won  a  most  ex- 
cellent race  for  her  new  owner,  Jimmy  Coffey,  at  the 
first  time  of  asking,  which  was  last  Wednesday. 
Collector  Jessup  has  now  rounded  into  the  grand  foim 
he  displayed  last  year  around  New  York,  winning 
good  races  on  Monday  and  Tuesday  of  this  week,  and 
Cloudlight,  heavily  backed,  won  an  exceedingly  game 
race  on  Tuesday  from  a  very  fair  field. 


Lily  Golding,  as  good  as  25  to  1  in  the  betting,  was 
the  surprise  of  last  Monday,  and  adds  another  winner 
to  imp.  Kismet's  already  very  respectable  list.  CircuB 
won  his  first  race  in  two  years  on  Tuesday  in  impres- 
sive style.  He  has  been  a  good  race  horBe,  but  his 
underpinning  would  scare  a  surgeon. 


It  seems  that  John  Condon  has  not  so  much  the 
better  of  Corrigan  and  his  friendB  in  Indiana  after  all, 
for  his  Roby  plant  will  almost  have  to  be  rebuilt  and 
the  Sheffield  track  has  gone  off  the  map,  I  am  told. 
He  can,  under  the  law,  race  but  fifteen  days  continu- 
ously on  any  track  in  the  Hoosier  State,  from  April 
loth  to  November  15th, and  there  must  be  thirty  day6n 
in  between  one  of  these  fifteen-day  meetings.  How- 
ever, if  he  had  three  tracks  ready  he  could  work  the 


An  interesting  bulletin  has  been  published  by  the 
University  of  Illinois,  Urbana,  on  the  market  classes 
of  horses.  We  quote  from  it  on  the  description  and 
qualities  of  the  draft  horse.  It  says  that  there  is  one 
standard  use  for  draft  horses,  and  that  is  to  haul 
enormous  loads  at  the  walk  only.  Strength  is  the  one 
consideration  in  the  draft  horse,  and,  broadly  speak- 
ing, weight  is  the  principal  element.  If,  however, 
the  mechanism  of  the  horse  is  to  endure  the  strain  he 
must  have  a  strong  hind  leg,  especially  at  the  hock, 
heavy  loin  with  short  coupling  and  a  strong  front  leg 
and  dec se  hoof  because  so  large  a  proportion  of  his 
weight  is,  or  should  be,  in  front. 

With  the  draft  horse  it  is  not  a  question  of  height, 
but  of  weight;  indeed,  the  nearer  the  ground  he  is 
the  better  both  for  service  and  endurance.  To  class 
with  draft  horses,  an  animal  must  weigh  not  less  than 
1500  pounds  in  good  flesh,  and  he  is  all  the  more  valu- 
able if  he  weighs  1800,  2000  or  even  more.  He  cannot 
be  too  heavy  if  his  bone  corresponds  to  his  weight. 
Such  a  horseshould  be  blocky,  made  with  heavy  bone, 
though  smooth;  short  in  the  back,  close  coupled  with 
heavy  loin,  rounded  hips,  wide  strong  hock,  flat  bone, 
moderately  short  pasterns,  medium  straight  shoulder, 
heavy  in  the  front  with  full  breast  and  legs  placed 
well  apart,  though  not  extremely  wide. 

The  animal  should  carry  a  good  covering  of  flesh, 
be  smooth  finished  all  over  and  manifest  docility  and 
a  disposition  to  do  heavy  work  with  patience  but 
with  spirit.  Accordingly  he  should  show  a  brigh 
mild  eye,  au  erect  ear,  and  a  smooth  easy  action  at* 
trot.  The  good  draft  horse  is  not  expected  to  make 
speed,  yet  he  must  not  be  in  constant  quarrel  with 
his  mate.  Because  it  is  easier  to  secure  weight  in  fat 
than  in  bone,  care  should  be  taken  to  insure  heavy 
bone  in  extreme  weights,  but  this  should  not  be  done 
at  the  expense  of  fair  finish. 

Draft  horses  of  good  form  sell  almost  according  to 
weight,  exoept  that  as  weight  increases,  prices  rise  at 
a  much  greater  ratio;  so  that  extreme  weights  bring 
enormous  prices  if  only  the  bone  is  satisfactory. 
Prices  range  from  $120  to  $300,  with  an  occasional  one 
higher  and  with  an  increase  of  about  10  per  cent 
when  matched  in  teams.  These  prices  are  sometimes 
exceeded,  and  dealers  insist  that  prices  were  never  so 
low  that  a  span  of  draft  horses  would  not  bring  $600  if 
they  were  only  good  enough. 

This  is  par  excellence  the  horse  for  the  farmer  to 
raise.  Only  the  blood  of  the  best  draft  breeds,  and 
the  heaviest  and  best  boned  stallions  are  suitable. 
Even  then  the  demand  for  extreme  weights  necessi- 
tates the  use  of  large  mares  that  are  good  milkers.  In 
no  other  way  can  colts  be  produced  with  sufficient 
bone  and  feeding  quality  to  attain  the  6ize  and  finish 
demanded  by  the  markets.  Even  then  the  youngster 
must  be  supplied  with  the  best  of  feed  in  large 
amounts  from  the  very  first.  Only  the  best  blood 
Bhould  be  used  and  then  every  effort  must  be  made  to 
keep  the  horse  gaining  from  the  first  if  he  is  to  top 
the  market. 

All  this  is  much  like  growing  beef  and  they  are  the 
horses  to  produce  on  the  farms.  They  can  be  pro- 
duced nowhere  else  to  advantage,  and  when  it  is  re- 
membered that  the  draft  horse  iB  really  the  highest 
price  standard  horse  in  the  market,  it  is  easy  enough 
to  see  what  horse  the  farmer  should  raise.  He  not 
only  sells  for  more  average  money  but  if  bred  with 
the  same  care  there  are  fewer  culls  and  no  training  is 
required  beyond  light  common  work  to  familiarize 
him  with  the  harness  and  with  drawing.  The  dispo- 
sition of  the  draft  horse  is  so  docile  and  his  ance6torB 
have  labored  so  long  that  he  works  almost  by  instinct 
and   he  rtquires  no   Bpecial  training  to  go  upon  the 

marketB.

The  Horse  in  Egvptian  Civilization. 

The  American  edition  of  the  Theosophical Review  for 
April  prints  the  latest,  most  wonderful  find  in  Egypt, 
which  proves  that  the  ancient  Egyptians  were 
devotees  of  the  horse,  says  the  American  Sportsman. 
The  lucky  man  who  made  this  latest  and  most  wonder- 


ful discovery  is  Prof.  Thecdore  M.  Davis,  and  the 
London  Times  of  March  10th  states  that  Prof.  Davis' 
disoovery  will  rank  as  the  greatest  find  since  effete  old 
Egypt  has  been  open  to  European  research.  In  the 
valley  of  the  tombs  of  tbe  old  Egyptian  kirgs,  Prof. 
Davis  discovered  a  tomb  never  before  plundered  or 
visited  since  the  eighteenth  Egyptian  dynasty,  which 
is  about  fifteen  hundred  years  before  the  birth  of 
Christ. 

As  described  by  the  London  Times  the  sepulchva1 
chamber  is  about  30  feet  long,  15  feet  wide  and  8  feet 
high.  Two  mummies — a  man  and  a  woman  (evidently 
king  and  queen)— were  found,  encased  in  a  sheet  of 
solid  gold.  At  the  western  end  or  the  tomb  the  floor 
was  covered  with  large  sealed  jars  of  wine  and  oil  and 
shell-like  boxes  of  wood,  painted  black,  containing 
cooked  meat  trapped  in  black  muslin.  On  tcp  of 
these  was  a  chariot  built  for  horses,  with  wocden  tires 
and  leather  trimmings,  all  in  good  state  of  preserva- 
tion, as  the  tomb  had  been  sealed  tight  to  prevent 
decomposition  or  decay.  The  seat  of  the  chariot  was 
built  for  two  persons  and  encrusted  with  gold. 

The  interpretation  of  the  symbols  found  in  this 
tomb  indicate,  according  to  Prof.  Davie,  that  the 
Egyptians  believed  in  the  resurrection  of  thebcdy 
and  the  immortality  of  the  soul.  But  what  makes 
this  remarkable  reminder  of  the  artistic  accomplish- 
ments of  the  ancient  Egyptians  most  interesting  to 
the  modern  student  of  the  horse  is  the  fact  that  the 
Egyptians  not  only  drove  horses  in  chariots  previous 
to  the  time  of  the  Romans,  but  the  further  and  still 
more  interesting  fact  that  they  associated  the  chariot 
horse  with  the  resurrection  of  the  body  and  the  im- 
mortality of  the  soul. 

Heroditus,  the  oldest  of  the  Green  historians, 
asserted  that  the  ancient  Egyptians  were  the  first  of 
mankind  to  believe  that  the  soul  of  man  is  immortal. 
And  this  latest  discovery  would  indicate  that  the 
Egyptians  were  the  first  of  mankind  to  harness  the 
horse  to  a  chariot,  and  that  the  horse  and  chariot 
was  held  to  typify  the  swiftness  of  life. 

This  wonderful  Egyptian  tomb,  that  has  been 
scaled  from  human  eyes  for  some  three  thousand  and 
four  hundred  years,  with  its  horse,  chariot  and  har- 
ness and  trappings,  tells  us  in  evidence  stronger  than 
history  that  when  Egypt  was  the  light  of  both  Asia 
and  Africa,  and  when  an  Egyptian  was  the  foremost 
man  of  all  the  world,  the  horse  was  his  motor  and  his 
best  animal  friend.  And  we  may  learn  another  lesson 
worth  knowing.  When  Egypt  became  effete  and  her 
sons  and  daughters  degenerates,  the  horse  appears  to 
have  lost  his  place. 

Season  of  Indigestion. 

Numerous  are  the  complaints  from  readers  regard- 
ing the  condition  of  their  horses  and  it  is  plain  that 
indigestion  is  at  the  bottom  of  the  trouble  due  to  too 
little  exercise  and  fairly  heavy  feeding.  It  is  not  a 
good  plan  to  cut  down  the  ration  much  especially 
when  in  a  few  weeks  the  horse  will  be  expected  to  do 
considerable  hard  work,  clean  water  and  a  comforta- 
ble stall  will  do  more  for  them  than  anything  else. 
Change  the  food  a  little  if  necessary,  giving  something 
in  the  way  of  green  food  such  as  potatoes  or  carrots 
and  as  a  tonic  give  the  following  which  has  been  re- 
ferred to  in  this  department  before:  "Take  two  ounces 
of  ground  flaxseed,  eight  ounces  of  powdered  nitre, 
four  ounces  powdered  gentian,  five  ounces  of  ginger, 
four  ounces  powdered  sulphate  of  iron,  three  ounces  of 
powdered  charcoal,  three  ounces  of  powdered  anise 
seed.  Mix  together  thoroughly.  Dose,  a  heapiDg  table- 
spoon once  a  day  in  the  grain."  This  tonic  may  bedis 
continued  after  ten  days  if  the  horse  is  given  an 
abundance  of  light  exercise  daily.  —  Farm  Stock

Absorbine  Keeps  Them  Up. 

There  are  trainers  in  all  sections  of  the  country,  each  of  whom 
has  in  his  bunch  this  season  some  horse  it  is  extremely  hard  to 
keep  in  racing  condition,  through  some  local  weakness.  To  these 
we  commend  the  reading  of  the  following  brief  letters  to  W.  F. 
Young,  P.  D.  F  ,  Springfleld.  Mass: 

I  have  used  your  Absorbine  ana  have  had  good  success.  I  kept 
up  a  horse  that  I  raced  for  two  seasons  with  it.

DOINGS  IN  D0GE0M. 


The  Dilemma  of  the  Seasons. 


Just  a  fair  shade  under  the  600  mark  was  the  entry 
list  for  the  S  P.  K.  C.  show  last  week.  Prospects  for 
enough  entries,  to  fulfill  our  prophesy  last  week, 
looked  encouragingly  good  until  the  croppiug  up  of  a 
little  contretemps  that  kept  Spokane  and  Los  Angeles 
entries  away,  with  an  attendant  and  sympathetic 
following — all  over  erecting  a  wall  about  specials  at 
the  last  hour,  it  has  been  claimed.  The  St.  Bernard 
and  Cocker  Club,  and  also,  if  we  are  not  much  mis- 
taken, the  Fox  Terrier  and  Bull  Terrier  Clubs  kept 
their  list  of  membership  application  and  entry  open 
until  the  closing  of  the  show  entries  last  week.  The 
Collie  Club  shut  down  on  new  memberships  two 
weeks  ago  The  reason  given  for  this  action  was  that 
the  club  had  been  organized  for  state  membership 
only. 

The  Collie  Club  however  rescinded  its  prior  action 
and  re-opened  the  doors  to  membership  on  par  with 
the  other  specialty  clubs,  but  it  appears  the  action 
wag  a  bit  too  late. 

The  entries  for  next  week  show  Cockers  in  the  lead, 
the  largest  entry  ever  made  at  a  Coast  show  for  which 
President  "Jim"  Jones  may  feel  justly  proud,  Collies 
follow  with  Bull  Terriers  and  Fox  Terriers.  English 
Setter  and  Pointer  classes  will  boom  up  in  quality  far 
ahead  of  anything  we  have  ever  had  here,  for  George 
C.  Thomas  and  Ben  Lewis,  two  premier  handlers  of 
international  repute  have  some  good  ones — The  Bloom- 
field  English  Setters  with  Mallwyd  Sirdar  at  the 
head,  the  Sabine  string  of  Fox  Terriers  and  a  sprink- 
ling of  Irish  Terriers,  Bostons,  Pointers,  etc. 

From  the  north  will  come  some  crack  English  Set- 
ters including  Mallwynd  Bob — One  or  two  good 
Irish  Setters  will  also  be  seen  here.  Collies  will  be 
brightened  up  with  several  new  importations  includ- 
ing two  from  England. 

Taking  it  all  in  all  the  show  will  be  a  remarkably 
good  one,  and  from  the  interest  already  taken  by  the 
public,  the  outlook  for  a  good  gate  is  reassuring. 

The  Seattle  Dog  Fancier's  Association  show  last 
week  and  was  a  successful  and  well  attended  exhibi- 
tion. Jas.  J.  Lynn  passed  on  all  breeds  to  every- 
bodys  satisfaction.  English  Setter  honors  were  an- 
nexed by  George  Thomas'  string,  Mallwyd  Sirdar 
taking  special  for  best  in  the  show.  Ben  Lewis 
walked  off  with  the  Pointer  trophies.  Collies  repre- 
sented by  the  Glen  Tana  Stock  Farm  Kennels  romped 
through  that  competition.  Dr.  Sharpies  won  about 
all  their  was  in  sight  for  Cockers.  Notwithstanding 
the  strong  Eastern  competition,  however,  the  local 
entries  picked  a  large  number  of  the  big  plums.  The 
report  of  the  show  and  complete  list  of  entries  were 
received  too  late  for  this  week's  issue. 


Mr.  Thos.  S.  Griffiths  writes:  I  am  just  in  receipt  of 
the  following  letter  from  Mr.  John  Dowell,  Austin, 
Texas: 

"We  are  very  much  pleased  with  our  dog  and  he 
is  working  very  nicely.  The  rocky  country  at  first 
made  his  feet  sore  but  he  has  gotten  over  this  and  is 
doing  well.  Please  send  me  mate  for  him  as  soon  as 
as  possible." 

I  am  particularly  pleased  with  this  letter  as  Mr. 
Dowell  is  the  owner  of  a  big  goat  ranch  and  an  ex- 
cellent judge  of  shepherd  dogs. 


Thefollowing  wins  at  the  Victoria  show  cause  Mr. 
Thos.  S.  Griffiths,  owner  of  Glen  Tana  Kennels,  much 
satisfaction:  Glen  Tana  Marquis,  tri-color  dog,  three 
firsts  and  wiDners;  Glen  Tana  Rippowam's  Rainbow, 
tri-color  bitch,  three  firsts  and  winners:  Glen  Tana 
Rippowam's  Recompense,  sable  and  white  bitch, 
three  first6  and  winners  and  special  for  best  sable  in 
show;  Glen  Tana  Piccolo,  sable  dog,  one  second  and 
two  thirds.    Not  so  bad  for  one  kennel. 


Mrs.  Peter  Moir,  we  reget  to  note,  has  had  the  ex- 
tremely ill  luck  to  lose  her  handsome  prize  winning 
Cocker,  Coquette  Bonnie.  Bonnie  was  killed  by  a 
street  car  one  day  last  week,  being  a  great  pet  the 
loss  of  her  dog  is  much  felt  by  Mrs.  Moir.  Bonnie  was 
by  Black  Silk  II  out  of  Plumeria  Sapho. 


In  Scotch  Terriers,  Mrs.  Bradley-Dyne's  entries,  as 
usual,  won  everything  from  start  to  finish

The  recent  rains,  it  is  reported,  has  interferred 
somewhat  with  fly-fishing,  which  phase  of  sport  wasuu- 
exceptionably  good  on  many  streams  this  early  in  the 
season.  Indications  point  to  more  success  by  baitfish- 
ing  than  with  fly  or  spinner  to-morrow. 

Striped  bass  fishing  has  been  rather  encouraging 
recently  on  the  San  Pablo  trolling  ground.  Last 
Sunday  there  was  a  number  of  boats  out,  nearly  all 
of  the  anglerB  were  more  or  less  lucky.  The  best 
take  being  credited  to  Mr.  Lutz,  who  landed  13  fish. 

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  Union  Gun  Club  annual  live  bird  shoot  at  Ingle- 
side  last  Sunday  was  well  attended  not  only  by  local 
sportsmen  but  by  shooters  from  different  interior 
points.  A  westerly  wind  blowing  across  the  traps 
was  a  serious  handicap  to  the  birds'  flight.  A  pigeon 
released  from  the  trap  would  rise  slowly  against  tbe 
wind  thus  affording  an  easy  mark  quite  often, 
straight  away  and  left  quartering  birds  were  also 
rather  easy.  The  shooting,  on  the  whole,  was  ex- 
cellent, particularly  as  a  number  of  the  participants 
were  only  occasional  contenders  at  the  pigeon  traps. 
The  pool  moneys  were  annexed  by  the  straight  score 
men  in  the  three  events.  Several  shooters,  among 
them  Mr.  Grimm  of  Martinez,  and  Mr.  Barstow,  did 
remarkably  well,  considering  that  it  waB  their  initial 
experience  at  pigeons. 

Event  No.  1,6  pigeons,  entrance  $2.40  (birds  in- 
cluded). Side  pool,  optional,  $1.50  entrance,  one 
money  for  each  three  entries,  distance  handicap,  high

A  communication  from  that  popular  sportsmun  and 
expert  trap  shot,  Mr.  Jack  Fanning,  this  week,  among 
other  things  states:  "I  expect  to  be  in  San  Francisco 
next  September  for  the  big  shoot.  It  is  possible  that 
Gilbert,  Crosby,  Heikes,  Elliott  and  Marshall  will 
also  be  on  hand.  Give  my  kind  regards  to  all  the 
boys." 

Needless  to  say,  the  Easterners  are  due  for  a  Cali- 
fornia reception,  and  among  sportsmen  that  will  be 
"no  small  cakes."        

The  second  club  shoot  of  the  Green  River  Gun  Club 
took  place  at  McKay,  Wash.,  two  weeks  ago.  In 
lesponse  to  an  invitation,  members  of  Auburn  Rod 
and  Gun  Club  were  present  and  participated. 

The  weather  conditions  did  not  favor  the  shooters 
so  best  results  could  not  be  obtained.  The  following 
is  the  score  of  events  at  blue  rocks,  eighteen  yards' 
rise:

A  report  from  Victoria  B.  C.  gives  the  following 
account  of  a  shoot  held  April  27th: 

The  weather  was  too  raw  for  good  shooting  at  the 
Vancouver  Gun  Club  traps,  yet  at  times  some  excel- 
lent work  was  done.  Mr.  C.  A.  Godson  and  Mr.  G.  E. 
Dittberner  showed  good  form  so  early  in  the  season, 
but  the  others  were  somewhat  off .  All  in  all,  though, 
considering  the  cold  and  rain,  the  shooting  was  very 
fair.  Some  new  shots  were  at  the  traps,  and  things 
look  well  for  the  summer's  sport.  The  scores  were 
as  follows,  at  25,  25,  15  and  10  targets  respectively: 

R  Kerr  Houlgate  16,  17,  7,  7;  C  A  Godson  20,  22,  14, 
7;  C  Wiegand  15,  17,  9,  6;  G  E  Dittberner  22,  18,  10,  10; 
F  M  Cowperthwaite  19,  19,  9,  — ;  D  P  Marpole  16,  17, 
7,  6;  J  C  Meiss  15,  16,  — ,  — ;  Mr.  Greer  15,  15,  — ,  — ; 
Mr.  Harris  16,  19,  — ,  — . 


Good  weather  and  a  clear  atmosphere  made  ideal 
shooting  conditions  at  the  meeting  of  the  Anaconda 
Rod  and  Gun  club  April  23rd.  Hundreds  of  yisitors 
were  present. 

L.  G  Smith  was  in  splendid  form  and  easily  cap- 
tured the  Twohy  medal.  This  trophy  is  at  25  singles. 
Mr.  Smith  made  a  straight  6Core.  Confarr  and 
Drumgoole  and  other  crack  shots  missed  targets. 
Jimmie  Drumgoole  was  not  up  to  his  usual  mark  in 
the  matter  of  average,  but  he  took  away  the  Brown- 
lee  and  Confarr  medals  after  a  struggle.  Confarr  won 
the  high  average  for  the  day's  shoot  and  Wood  worth 
of  Missoula  was  third. 


Most  of  the  participants  at  the  Los  Angeles  shoot 
attended  the  blue  rock  shoot  of  the  Santa  Ana  Gun 
Club,  April  25  and  26  High  average  tbe  first  day  was 
made  by  W.  W.  Anderson  who  broke  165  out  of  a 
possible  180,  R.  C.  Reed  of  San  Francisco  was  second 
high  average  with  162,  Emil  Holling  of  San  Francisco 
and  Guy  Lovelace  tied  for  third  place  with  15S  each. 
D.  Daniels  of  San  Francisio,  Guy  Lovelace  and  S.  R. 
Smith  of  Los  Angeles  won  the  three  man  team  shoot 
with  63  out  of  75.  E.  Holling,  Hip  Justins  and  R  C. 
Reed  with  65  were  barred,  as  manufacturers  agents, 
from  trophy  competition.  D.  W.  King,  Jr.,  won  the 
first  miss  and  out  and  Harry  Hoyt  won  the  second. 
Reed  and  Justins  tied  on  9  each  out  of  5  pairs. 

The  day's  shoot  closed  with  a  number  of  "Jack 
rabbit"  events. 

Intbesecond  day's  shoot,  Fred  B.  Mills  of  Santa 
Ana  was  high  average  with  144  out  of  :i  possible  150. 
R  H.  Bungay  made  133,  Hip  Justins  130,  E.  Holling 
128,  F.  W.  Carter  128  and  Mr  Davis  127. 

In  the  three-man  team  shoot  Hoyt,  Carter  and  King 
made  65  out  of  a  possible  75;  ftnd  Hollings,  Justin  and

entrance,  will  participate  in  $900  added  money  during 
the  three  days'  shoot.  Of  course,  the  trophy  events 
in  the  program  are  of  chief  interest  to  all  shooters, 
inasmuch  as  the  successful  winner  of  one  of  these 
trophies  receives  at  tbe  next  annual  tournament  50 
per  cent  of  the  entrance,  which  naturally  amounts  to 
much  more  than  is  necessary  for  all  expenses  during 
the  shoot. 

There  are  several  very  fine  trophies  belonging  to 
the  association,  the  total  value  being  $2150.  There  is 
always  the  keenest  interest  displayed  when  the  trophy 
events  are  shot  off,  for  aside  from  the  pecuniary  part 
of  it,  the  satisfaction  of  winning  one  of  the  trophies  is

have  been  doing  some  tall  scoring.  Fcr  instance  take 
Salem,  Albany,  Eugene,  Corvallis,  Med  ford,  Heppner, 
Pendleton,  Philomath,  Forest  Grove  and  Carlton,  all 
of  these  towns  have  in  their  shooting  ranks  men  who 
can  stand  on  an  equal  footing  with  any  members  of 
the  association. 

The  association  consists  of  Oregon,  Washington, 
Idaho,  Montana,  British  Columbia,  Utah  and  Cali- 
fornia, and  is  open  for  association  members  only  for 
money  and  trophy  events  Professionals  and  manu- 
facturers' agents  will  be  allowed  to  shoot  but  for  tar- 
gets only  and  will  not  be  permitted  to  participate  in 
any  of  the  money  or  trophy  events. 

Since  tbe  expenses  of  conducting  this  tournament 
amount  to  about  $2000  and  the  Multnomah  Rod  and 
Gun  Club  has  more  than  covered  this  amount,  I  think 
it  is  to  be  congratulated  The  tournament  is  bound 
to  be  successful."

tournament  is  practically  as  follows:

The  work  of  preparation  for  the  twenty-first 
annual  tournament  of  the  Sportsmen's  Association  of 
the  Northwest,  to  be  held  In  Portland  on  June  22,  23 
and  24,  has  kept  not  only  Secretary  A.  J  Winters 
busy,  but  the  Multnomah  Rod  and  Gun  Club  as  well. 
The  Exposition  spirit  Is  thoroughly  in  evidence  and 
the  Portland  Bponsmen  are  determined  that  no  effort 
or  expense  shall  be  spared  to  make  this  tournament 
the  best  ever  held  up  north. 

Letters  received  from  all  over  the  United  States 
announce  the  coming  of  many  shooters.  The  grounds 
at  Irvlngton  are  being  carefully  gone  over  and 
Improved,  and  a  new  set  of  traps  has  been  put  In.  For 
the  tournament  there  will  be  installed  live  Bets  of 
expert  traps  with  electric  pulls,  and  with  this  accom- 
modation will  be  furnished  for  200  or  more  shooters. 

Mr.  Winters,  secretary  of  the  association  In  speak- 
ing of  the  coming  shoot,  states: 

"We  have  just  about  completed  the  program  for  the 
the  twenty-first  annual  tournament.  Without  any 
boasting,  I  think  we  can  say  that  the  program  will  be 
as  good  as  any  ever  given,  and  possibly  In  some  re- 
spects bettor.  I  think  tbe  visiting  sportsmen  will 
agree  with  us  and  I  will  also  say  that  the  local  club 
deserves  muoh  credit  for  the  efforts  It  has  made  to 
Insure  the  success  of  this  Exposition  tournament. 

Th»  program  has  been  arranged  with  a  view  to 
glvlrg  the  strictly  amateur  a  'look  In' at  least,  which 


The  Sacramento  Zhiion  states:  Sportsmen  are 
already  getting  in  form  for  the  Kimball  &  Upson 
Tournament  which  is  of  interest  by  reason  of  a  number 
of  prizes  offered  and  races  deciding  the  Northern 
California  championship;  the  ownership  of  the  Gibson 
trophy  for  doubles,  the  high  average  and  the  North- 
ern California  five-man  team  shoot,  now  held  by 
Oroville.  The  tournament  will  last  three  days,  com- 
mencing May  12th,  the  first  being  reserved  for  live 
birds.  Teams  from  seven  or  eight  outside  cities  and 
the  crack  shots  from  this  section  of  the  State  will  he 
in  attendance.  In  the  blue  rock  events  Eve  sets  of 
traps  will  be  used.  In  the  merchandise  events  the 
prizes  will  amount  to  over  $1000  in  value. 


"Mooch"  Abrahm,  known  throughout  the  Pacific 
Northwest  as  a  crack  blue  rook  shot,  is  receiving  the 
congratulations  of  his  friends  oyer  his  recent  appoint- 
ment as  a  director  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trap  Shooters' 
Association  says  the  Portland  Oreqonian.  Abrahm 
is  secretary  of  the  Multnomah  Rod  and  Gun  Club  and 
president  of  the  Sportsmen's  Association  of  the  North- 
west, which  will  give  the  big  Northwest  shoot  in  Port- 
land this  Bummer. 

After  the  announcement  of  his  appointment  and  the 
subsequent  story  that  A.  J.  Winters,  also  of  Portland, 
was  the  originator  of  the  scheme  for  a  trap  shooters' 
association,  a  demurrer  came  from  San  Francisco  way, 
Ed  Drake  said  he  was  willing  to  congratulate  Abrahm, 
but  he  wished  to  deny  that  Winters  evolved  the 
scheme  for  the  association.  [The  Pacific  Coast  Trap 
Shooting  Association  was  organized  in  San  Francisco 
two  years  sgo,  the  moving  spirits  were  Dr.  George  of 
Antloch,  Tbos  L.  Lewis,  W.  S.  Wattles,  W.  A.  Seaver 
and  H.  T.  Hoyt  of  this  city.]  However  that  may  be, 
there  will  be  a  lot  of  the  best  shots  here  for  the  tourney 
in  June.  The  local  boys  are  shooting  every  Sunday 
and  their  scores  are  constantly  on  the  improve.  After 
three  years,  the  club  Is  located  at  Irvlngton  once 
more.  The  boys  have  had  three  different  locations  in 
as  many  seasons,  and  each  time  the  protests  of 
neighboring  residents,  who  do  not  like  their  Sabbath 
naps  disturbed,  have  compelled  them  to  move  on. 
This  time  it  looks  as  if  they  are  located  for  keeps. 
Irvlngton  Is  where  the  Northwest  shoot  is  to  be  held. 
It  lb  convenient  to  the  car  line  and  not  far  from  the 
center  of  theolty. 


The  regular  semi-monthly  shoot  of  the  Capital  City 
Blue  Rock  Club  took  place  at  the  Kimball  &  Upson 
grounds,  Sacramento,  April  30th.  There  was  a  rather 
small  attendance,  as  many  of  the  club  members  at- 
tended the  Marysville  shoot.  A  high  wind  blew 
across  the  set  of  traps,  interfering  with  the  scores  to 
some  extent.  The  club  medal  was  won  by  Judge  J. 
W.  Hughes  from  the  eighteen-j  ard  mark  with  a  score 
of  22  out  of  25.  He  was  closely  followed  by  David 
Ruhstaller  and  Frank  J.  Ruhstaller  with  scores  of  21 
and  20,  respectively,  from  the  sixteen-yard  mark.  O. 
L.  Stevens  shot  from  the  twenty-yard  mark,  but 
failed  to  score  effectively  for  the  medal.  Judge 
Hughes  will  now  shoot  from  the  twenty-yard  mark 
and  a  spirited  contest  is  looked  for  between  His 
Honor  and  O.  L.  Stevens,  the  latter  having  won  the 
medal  twice  and  Judge  Hughes  once. 

The  following;  are  the  principal  scores  of  the  day  at 
10  targets:  D.  Ruhstaller,  7:  Anderson,  4;  Martin  2-7-

The  annual  blue  rock  tournament  of  the  Marysville 
Gun  Club  was  pulled  off  last  Sunday  at  Shelton's 
Grove,  a  large  attendance  of  Northern  California 
shooters  being  present. 

The  winner  of  the  Kimball  and  Upson  Northern 
California  championship  medal  was  Frank  M.  New- 
bert of  Sacramento,  who  broke  10  out  of  20.  The  G. 
W.  Gibson  cup  [doubles,  5  pairs)  was  tied  for  by  Ed 
Fissell  of  Davlsville  and  G.  W.  Gibson  of  Williams — 
each  broke  17.  Mr.  Gibson,  the  donor,  being  the 
true  sportsman  that  he  is,  would  not  shoot  off  the  tie 
and  thus  allowed  Fissell  to  take  the  cup.  The  five 
man  team  shoot  was  won  by  tbe  Colusa  contingent, 
who  scored  59  out  of  a  possible  75  Newbert  also  won 
the  Marysville  medal,  19  out  of  20.  Visiting  sports- 
men were  oordially  looked  after  by  the  Marysville

entertainment.

Tne  annual  tournament  of  the  Washington  State 
Sportsmen's  Association  will  be  held  this  year  in 
Wenatchee,  May  18,  19  and  20  and  the  sportsmen  of 
that  lively  little  town  are  matting  great  preparations 
to  entertain  the  visitors  royally.  It  was  printed  in  a 
Seattle  piper  some  time  ago  that  trophies  to  the  valae 
of  $4300  and  added  money  amounting  to  $4600  would 
be  put  up  at  this  shoot.  When  the  members  read 
th it  they  gasped  with  astonishment  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  the  added  money  will  amount  to  between  $500 
and  $600,  which  includes  $50  in  general  average  money, 
and  the  state  trophies  are  worth  about  $300.  These 
trophies  are  dow  held  by  various  members  of  the 
c'ub,  and  are  shot  for  every  year.  The  other  figures 
were  simply  about  84000  off  in  each  instance. 

The  trophy  for  the  state  team  championship  is  now 
h  1 1  by  a  Spokane  team  of  three  men  This  will  be 
shot  for  again.  The  Spokesman-Review  medal  is  held 
by  Stevens  of  Seattle;  the  L.  C.  Smith  gun  cup  is  now 
held  by  Ellis  of  Tacoma,  and  the  P.  I.  medal  is  held 
by  Fred  McBroom  of  Spokane. 

The  shoot  is  open  to  all  shooters  of  the  United 
States  except  for  the  trophies  The  contest  for  these 
is  limited  to  shooters  of  Washington  state.  Among 
the  crack  shots  who  will  attend  areSheard  of  Tacoma, 
Abrams  of  Portland,  Del  Cooper  of  Bellingham,  Mc- 
Clure  of  Vancouver,  B.  C,  Ware  of  Spokane,  Ellis 
and  Mac  of  Seattle  and  Holohan  of  Wallace,  Idaho 

It  is  expected  that  there  will  be  seveDty-five  shooters 
at  least  present  at  the  shoot.  Last  year  the  tourna- 
ment was  held  in  Harrington,  and  it  is  expected  than 
Spokane  will  be  selected  as  the  place  of  meeting  next 
year. 


TRADE  NOTES. 


At  this  same  shoot,  Mr.  M.  E.  Atchison,  one  of  the 
Parker  gun's  best  friends  in  the  State  of  Texas  and  a 
corking  good  shot,  soored  44  out  of  50  in  a  gale  of 
wind.  There  were  three  tied  in  this  individual  cup 
race,  and  in  the  shoot-off  Mr.  Atchison  soored  22  out 
of  the  first  25,  and  the  second  time  a  straight  run  of 
25  This  was  a  wonderful  performance  in  such  a 
heavy  wind,  ind  speaks  very  creditably  of  the  "Old 
Reliable"  Parker. 

ADDITIONAL   EVIDENCE   OP   D      W.   C.  SUPERIORITY 

The  Union  Gun  Club  held  its  annual  live  bird  shoot 
at  IngleBide,  Sunday,  April  30,  1905.  Being  open  to 
all,  it  proved  to  be  an  event  of  unusual  interest,  and 
it  is  many  years  since  in  attendance,  scores  and  gen- 
eral results  its  success  has  been  equaled.  Sportsmen 
from  various  interior  towns  were  present,  and  the 
records  show  that  the  3hootiDg  averaged  high 
throughout  the  day. 

The  first  event  was  a  six-bird  race,  high  guns  to 
win.  The  contestants  makingclean  kills  were  Messrs. 
Creyk,  McCutchan,  Potter,  Feudner,  Troy  and  Nau- 
man,  all  using  U.  M.  C.  shells. 

The  second  event  was  also  for  six  birds,  and  was 
shot  under  the  Rose  system.  The  successful  com- 
petitors were  Gill,  Feudner,  Potter,  Creyk,  Haight, 
Duzan,  Frankel,  Nauman,  Sylvester  and  Iverson.  Of 
these  ten,  nine  were  users  of  U.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

The  final  event  was  for  twelve  birds.  The  winners 
were  Gill,  Haight,  Pitres,  Barstow,  Grimm,  Feudner 
and  Nauman.  Of  these  seven,  killing  twelve  straight, 
six  were  users  of  U.  M.  C.  goods. 

The  entire  list  of  contestants  numbered  thirty-one. 
and  of  these  twenty-eight  used  U.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

One  does  not  need  to  varnish  a  plain  statement,  be- 
cause in  these  days  one  likes  facts  and  statistics,  they 
telling  in  an  adequate  manner  all  there  is  to  be  said 
on  any  subject;  so  when  twenty-eight  contestants  out 
of  thirty-one  use  a  certain  ammunition,  we  feel  sure 
there  must  be  good  reason  therefor,  and  consequently 
we  let  it  go  at  that,  and  simply  add  that  the  ammu- 
nition bore  the  U.  M.  C.  brand. 


THE    SAME    OLD    TBING. 

U.  M.  C.  shells  win  practically-all  the  honors  where 
many  prizes  and  valuable  trophies  are  at  stake.  It  is 
the  rule  and  not  the  exception  for  unbiased  amateurs 
to  choose  U  M  C  shells.  One  more  name  waTadded 
to  the  long  list  of  winners  when  Mr.  E.  F.  Forsgard 
of  Waco,  Texas,  won  the  Texas  State  championship 
ineda  at  live  birds;  score  19-20.  This  important  vic- 
tory took  place  at  the  Texas  State  Shoot,  Waco, 
Texas,  April  18-20.  Other  U.  M.  C.  w'ns  In  Texas 
during  1905  have  been  the  Sunny  South  Handicap 
at  live  birds,  the  Central  Texas  Handicap,  ard  the 
Houston  Post  Diamond  Medal.  Shooters  who  shoot 
the  "best"  shoot  U.  M   C. 


DOINGS     DOWN     IN    TEXAS. 

At  the  Texas  State  Shoot  held  at  Waco,  April  20th, 
Mr.  E  J.  Nalle  of  Austin,  Texas,  shooting  the  Parker 
gun,  win  the  silver  loving  cup,  making  the  highest 
aggregate  score  in  all  the  live  bird  events.  There 
w-ire  three  ties  and  Mr.  Nalle  shot  them  all  out.  Mr. 
Nalle  is  a  staunch  advocate  of  the  "Old  Reliable" 
Parker. 


"307    STRAIGHT 

Is  the  marvelous  record  made  by  Mr.  W.  H.  Heer,  at 
Des  Moines,  March  14-16,when  he  won  the  Iowa  State

THE   FARM 


Jerseys. 


Jersey  cattle,  so  far  as  we  know,  were 
originally  from  Normandy  of  which  the 
Island  of  Jersey  once  formed  a  part.  The 
people  on  the  Island  have  the  same 
customs  and  languages  of  S00  years  ago. 
Surrounded  by  the  sea,  they  have  been 
able  to  keep  their  breed  of  cattle  pure  for 
eight  centuries  In  1789  a  law  was  passed 
prohibiting  the  landing  on  the  Island  of 
any  live  animal  of  cattle  kind,  under  a 
penalty  of  heavy  fines  and  imprisonment, 

Jerseya   have    been   bred    through   all

these  years  for  one  special  purpose — 
butter.  Breeding  only  from  the  best,  it 
has  been  the  custom  for  ages  never  to  use 
a  bull  unless  his  dam  and  grandams  were 
excellent  producers  of  butter.  This  care- 
ful selection  combined  with  conditions 
that  allowed  the  cattle  to  be  lethered  in 
green  fields,  tended  mainly  by  women, 
almost  all  the  year,  has  produced  cows 
unequaled  for  profit  and  beauty. 

The  American  Jersey  Cattle  Club  was 
organized  in  1868.  Present  membership 
438.  Net  assets  $59277.57.  The  member- 
ship of  this  club  is  said  to  represent  more 
wealth  than  any  similar  organization  in 
the  world.  Number  of  registered  bulls 
more  than  69604  and  cows  187902. 

Mr.  Henry  E.  Alvord,  Chief  of  Dairy 
Division,  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  U. 
S.  Department  of  Agriculture  states: 

For  scores  of  years  Jerseys  have  been 
bred  especially  and  almost  exclusively  for 
butter.  There  was  no  demand  for  milk 
on  the  home  island,  and  the  whole  effort 
was  to  increase  richness  and  add  to  the 
product  of  butter.  In  America  breeders 
have  striven  with  success  to  increase  the 
milk  yield,  while  maintaining  its  high 
quality.  Two,  three  and  four  gallons  per 
day  are  common  yields,  and  these  cows 
are  noted  for  persistence  in  milking,  mak- 
ing a  long  season  of  profit,  with  great 
evenness  of  product  until  near  its  close 
Herd  records  are  numerous.  Ten  selected 
as  having  average  dairy  farm  conditions 
include  140  cows  and  cover  six  years. 
The  annual  milk  product  per  cow  waB 
5157  pounds,  yielding  293  pounds  of  but- 
ter.  Among  these  was  one  herd  25  cows 
of  all  ages  with  a  continuous  record  of , 
seven  years.  The  annual  average  per  cow 
was  5698  pounds  of  milk  and  342  pounds 
of  butter.  Several  herd  records  for 
shorter  periods  show  average  yields  of 
6000  and  7000  pounds  per  cow.  Single 
animals  are  on  records  as  producing  90C0, 
10,000,  12,000,  and  at  least  two  nearly 
17, COO  pounds  of  milk  in  a  year.  The 
characteristic  of  the  milk  of  this  breed  is 
a  high  percentage  of  total  solids,  especi- 


ally fat;  4  to  5  per  cent  butter  records  are 
correspondingly  large.  Good  herds  are 
depended  upon  to  produce  350  to  400 
pounds  butter  for  every  milking  animal 
fed  the  full  year.  Individual  cases  are 
recorded  by  the  hundred  of  cows  making 
15  to  20  pounds  of  butter  in  a  week,  and 
there  are  numerous  weekly  records  of  25 
to  30  pounds  and  more.  Several  tests 
with  single  animals  have  resulted  in  600, 
700,  800,  and  even  1000  pounds  of  butter 
within  twelve  months. 

Great  care  should  be  exercised  in  the 
foundation  of  a  herd  especially  in  the 
selection  of  a  hull  as  on  this  may  depend 
success  or  failure.  Perhaps  the  most 
noted  example  of  the  impress  one  animal 
may  give  is  that  of  Eurotas,  butter 
record  778  pounds.  This  cow  had  eight 
bull  calves  that  became  the  sires  of  365 
males  and  449  females.  While  the  Jer- 
seys are  especially  bred  for  butter  it  is  a 
singular  fact  that  at  St.  Louis  they  sur- 
passed all  others  as  profitable  producers 
of  milk,  and  that  too  for  a  short  period. 
The  Jerseys  are  noted  for  their  staying 
qualities  and  persistence  in  milking  well 
for  a  long  time.  It  is  Btill  more  remark- 
able that  for  butter,  milk  and  beef  com- 
bined they  distanced  all  competitors.  It 
is  fair  to  state  that  the  Jerseys  were 
carefully  selected  while  the  Holsteins 
were  hastily  gathered.  In  the  long  cold 
winters  of  Canada  or  in  the  heat  of  Cuba 
from  the  bleak  hills  of  Maine  to  the  ever 
blooming  flowers  of  Southern  California 
the  Jersey  is  everywhere  the  rich  man's 
pet  and  pride  and  the  poor  man's  pro- 
ducer of  profit. — S.  E.  Nivin  in  Blooded

Side  Lines  in  Dairy  Work. 

Not  all  the  profit  of  the  dairy  comes 
from  the  sale  of  batter  or  cream.  Dairy- 
ing is  one  the  lines  of  intensive  farming, 
and  we  must  study  our  work  and  practices 
closelv  to  see  that  we  do  not  put  a  dollar's 
worth  of  work  and  25  cents  worth  of  feed 
into  the  business  where  we  only  get  ,5 
oents  back  again.  We  want  to  raise  all 
the  feed  we  use  and  then  use  all  the  feed 
we  raise.  In  doing  this  we  can,  at  times, 
handle  more  stock  than  our  milk  cows. 
We  want  to  raise  all  our  heifer  calves  to 
replace  the  cows  we  weed  out  of  the  herd 
or  possibly  a  young  cow  for  sale.  We 
prefer  to  have  our  cows  freshen  in  the  fall 
or  early  in  the  early  in  the  winter.  We 
"can  raise  our  calves  on  separator  milk 
until  pasture  in  the  spring,  then  we  can 
haye  some  young  pige  just  ready  to  take 
the  skim  milk  and  grow  into  baby  pork 
in  eight  months  time.  In  this  way  we 
have  two  crops  of  yc  ung  stock   per  year

CAMPBELL'S 


FOOT  REMEDY    best"  SFmedy 

EVER  USED  ON  HORSES'  FEET. 

IT  PENETRATES  and  DRIES  IN  Quickly  and  DOES 
NOT  GUM  and  FILL  UP  THE  PORES  like  tar  and  oil 
oompounds.  It  is  the  GREATEST  REMEDY  ever  used  to 
remove  SORENESS  and  FEVER  from  the  foot,  and  makes  It 
possible  to  get  good  services  out  of  a  horse  working  on  hard 
and  hot  pavements 

It  gives  natural  nourishment  to  the  foot  and  incites  a 
rapid,  healthy  growth— ALL  DRYNESS  AND  BRITTLE- 
NESS  quickly  disappears. 

QUARTER  CRACKS  and  SAND  CRACKS  are  rapidly 
grown  out  when  directions  given  in  our  booklet  are  followed 

It  Is  a  SURE  CURE  for  CORNS.  CONTRACTED  FEET 
and  NAIL  WOUNDS  if  directions  are  followed 

It  PRESENTS  SOUND  FEET  FROM  BECOMING  UN- 
SOUND and  GROWS  a  TOUGH, STRONG.  ELASTICWALL 
and  HEALTHY  FROG— A  FOOT  WHICH  WILL  STAND 
WORK  on  racecourses. 

Many  of  the  best  owners  and  trainers  state  that  for  track 
work  nothing  equals  it.  In  many  cases  horses  have  reduced 
their  records  several  seconds,  due  to  its  use. 

It  is  a  CER1  AIN  CURE  for  THRUSH  and  SCRATCHES 
We  Oar  te  e  That  It  Will  Do  What  We  ClJm 
and  Will  Refund  Money  If  It  Flls. 
PRICES:— Quarts,   $100;    Half-Gallon,  81.75;    Gallon     83  no

Don't  fall  to  read  "ad."  giving  Information  concerning  Campbell's  Iodoform  Gall  Cure  in  next 
Issue  of  this  paper.    It  Is  the  best  and  because  of  its  merits  is  rapidly  displacing  all  others.

No.    H    "Jersey"    Cut=Under    Truck 

ThisTruck  is  the  result  of  years  of  endeavor  to  produce  a  wagon  that  has  great 

carrying  capacity,  ample  strength  without  superfluous  weight,  low 

enough  to  the  ground  to  minimize  the  labor  of  loading. 

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on 

the  roads  as  well  as  on  the  farm. 

The  "Jersey"  is  a  pronounced  success,  not  only  for  tbe  transportation  of  fruit, 

but  as  a  general  purpose  dray  in  villages  and  small  cities.

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU    ARE.    BEAD    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  In  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  In  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks— a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  w&  Imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  In  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  Is  clean  In  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  ouroolleotlon  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  blaok  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  is  muoh  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  baok.  His  limbs  are  flrst-olass  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  endurance.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as 'floe  as  peaches,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latoh  and  very  clean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  Is  at  present  thn  brightest  prospect  for  good  orops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years.  Way  will  not  the  farmer  Improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity In  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  seleot  from. 

C.  F.  Slngmaster,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  In  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
Is  proud  to  say  we  have  had  extremely  good  suocess  in  making  sales  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expect  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stockof  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  discount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

action  and  a  great  degree  "f  natural  speed  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  hands  of  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecting  that  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney.  Director.  Direct  and 
Nutwood  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 
purposes.

FRESNO  WILL  BE  ON  THE  CIRCUIT  this  year, 
arrangements  being  completed  yesterday  for 
holding;  a  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse 
Breeders  Association  there  the  week  following  the 
Los  Angeles  meeting  in  July.  In  next  week's  issue  of 
the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  the  full  program  for 
the  Fresno  meeting  will  be  announced  and  it  will  pro- 
vide for  all  classes  of  trotters  and  pacers  now  training 
in  California.  The  big  entry  list  received  for  the 
regular  annual  meeting  of  the  Breeders  association  to 
be  held  in  August, and  which  waspublished  last  week, 
shows  that  there  are  enough  horses  in  training  which 
to  be  raced,  to  make  the  California  circuit  one  of  the 
best  in  America  this  year,  and  when  the  Los  Angeles 
and  Fresno  entries  are  received  and  published  maDy 
additional  ones  will  be  found  among  them.  Woodland 
and  the  State  Fair  will  will  be  the  next  to  advertise 
programs  and  with  one  more  meeting  given  by  the 
Breeders  or  some  other  association  the  circuit  will  be 
complete  with  six  weeks  racing  for  purses  of  from  $500 
to  $2000.  The  State  never  looked  more  prosperous 
than  it  does  at  the  present  time,  and  the  outlook  for 
harness  racing  that  will  draw  big  crowds  is  excellent. 
Don't  forget  that  Fresno  is  on  the  racing  map  this 
year  and  look  out  for  the  program  next  week. 


ALL  ABOARD  FOR  LOS  ANGELES  will  be  the 
cry  about  the  last  week  in  June  all  along  the 
Pacific  Coast  railroad  lines,  and  the  horsemen  from  as 
far  north  as  Washington  will  be  headiDg  for  the  city 
of  angels  and  oranges  to  be  in  attendance  at  the  grand- 
est opening  the  California  circuit  has  had  in  years. 
Fourteen  $1000  purees,  with  only  six  entries  required 
to  fill,  is  the  moat  liberal  program  the  Coast  horsemen 
have  been  offered  for  many  a  day,  and  they  all  want 
to  get  in  on  the  feast.  Entries  will  close  Monday,  May 
22d  for  this  great  meeting  which  opens  on  July  3d. 
You  will  have  to  get  your  entries  in  one  week  from 
next  Monday  if  you  want  to  race  at  this  inaugural 
meeting  and  we  advise  every  trainer  and  owner  that 
intends  racing  at  all  in  California  this  year  to  start  in 
at  Los  Angeles.  Shipping  rates  are  to  be  reduced,  and 


the  Los  Angeles  association  is  doing  and  willdnevery- 
thing  to  make  things  pleasant  for  horsemen  who  pay 
their  city  a  visit.  The  association  bts  $15,000  in  bank 
to  pay  purses  with,  and  should  there  not  be  a  cor- 
poral's guard  to  see  the  races,  the  money  will  be  there 
for  the  wirjners  just  the  same.  But  don't  fear  about 
the  attendance;  it  will  be  the  largest  seen  at  a  harness 
meeting  in  California  since  the  days  when  people  down 
in  that  section  though  Silkwood  could  not  be  beaten, 
and  a  San  Francisco  gentlfman  sent  Seymour  Wilkes 
down  there  in  charge  of  Ed  Lafferty  and  took  the 
black  whirlwind  into  camp.  The  Los  Angeles  amateur 
drivers  have  one  of  the  finest  drivingclubs  in  America 
and  besides  introducing  the  champion  race  trotter 
Sweet  Marie,  to  the  world,  bave  educated  the  L09 
Angeles  public  to  the  fact  that  well  conducted  harness 
racing  is  the  grandest  of  American  sports.  Some  of 
the  most  prominent  members  of  this  Driving  Club, 
are  the  organizers  and  officers  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Harness  Horse  Association  that  will  give  this  meeting. 
They  know  the  game  thoroughly  and  propose  to  have 
everything  as  near  up  to  date  as  possible.  They  have 
set  a  high  standard  for  their  meeting  and  will  see  that 
this  standard  is  reached  and  maintained.  Secretary 
A.  W.  Bruner  and  Mr  Ed  R.  Smith, of  the  association 
who  so  successfully  started  the  borses  on  the  Cali- 
fornia circuit  last  year,  left  Los  Angeles  May 
10th,  and  were  in  Fresno  last  Thursday  visiting  all 
the  horsemen  and  soliciting  entries.  Tbey  will  be  in 
Woodland  today,  and  Santa  Rosa  on  Monday  next, 
and  here  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  office  on 
Tuesday  and  Thursday  of  next  week,  running  down 
to  San  Jose  on  Wednesday,  and  being  at  Pleasanton 
Friday  and  Saturday.  This  will  give  them  the  op- 
portunity to  consult  w.th  the  horsemen  pretty 
thoroughly  before  the  entries  close,  and  we  do  not 
doubt  but  their  trip  will  result  in  their  securing  a 
splendid  entry  list.  The  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse 
Association  has  made  it  possible  for  California  to 
have  a  good  circuit  this  year,  and  it  deserves  the 
support  of  everybody. 


A  SELLING  RACE  for  trotters  will  be  in  the 
program  of  harness  events  to  be  advertised  next 
week  for  the  Breeders  meeting  to  be  held  at  Fresno  in 
July.  This  race  is  to  be  put  on  as  an  experiment  and 
in  response  to  a  request  from  several  horsemen  who 
have  been  advocating  the  introduction  of  selling  raceB 
on  the  trotting  turf.  We  believe  Mr.  H.  S.  Hogoboom 
was  the  first  of  the  California  trainers  to  earnestly 
advocate  the  giving  of  selling  races,  and  if  the  experi- 
ment attracts  the  entries  which  its  advocates  expect, 
there  will  be  a  big  field  and  some  hot  racing.  The 
purse  will  be  $500  and  the  winner  must  be  offered  for 
sale  at  the  close  of  the  race  and  started  at  the  owner's 
bid  of$500.  If  it  is  sold  forany  more  than  that  amount, 
one  half  the  amount  in  excess  of  $500  wili  go  to  the 
owner  and  the  remaining  half  to  the  association.  This 
style  of  race  is  devised  for  the  purpose  of  giving  the 
ordinary  trotter  a  chance  to  win  a  race  now  and  then, 
as  the  conditions  will  prevent  owners  of  high  class 
green  ones  from  entering  in  it.  There  are  a  great 
many  horses  that  can  trot  three  heats  or  more  around 
2:20,  but  are  not  much  faster  than  that,  and  they 
would  be  raced  did  the  owners  not  feel  certain  that 
green  trotters  having  the  ability  to  beat  2:15  would 
be  in  the  race.  The  selling  plan  will  keep  owners  from 
entering  these  valuable  green  ones  and  give  other 
owners  a  chance  to  get  back  some  of  the  money  they 
have  spent  for  training  expenses  only  to  find  that 
their  horses  were  not  quite  fast  enough  to  go  against 
the  good  ones  that  always  appear  when  the  circuit 
opens.  The  Breeders  association,  always  ready  to 
adopt  any  plan  that  looks  meritorious  and  that  will 
benefit  horsemen,  will  make  the  first  experimental 
selling  race  for  2:20  class  trotters,  and  if  it  meets  the 
approval  of  one  half  the  owners  who  have  already 
given  it  their  endorsement  it  will  get  a  record  break- 
ing entry  list. 


THE  AMERICAN  TROTTER  is  the  title  of  the 
latest  and  in  many  respects  the  best  book  that 
has  ever  been  published  which  treats  of  the  origin, 
history  and  development  of  the  American  trotting 
horse.  It  is  from  the  pen  of  Mr.  S.  W.  Parlin.  editor 
of  that  excellent  journal  The  American  Morse  Breeder, 
and  should  be  in  the  library  of  every  person  who 
desires  to  have  a  knowledge  of  the  history  of  the  most 
useful  of  all  horses.  The  preface  by  Peter  C.  Kellogg 
(Hark  Comstock)  is  a  gem  and  in  itself  ODe  of  the 
most  interesting  as  well  as  the  most  valuablecontribu- 
tions  that  has  been  made  to  horse  literature.  Mr. 
Parlin's  work  commences  with  an  account  of  the 
earlieBt  history  of  horse  racing  and  traces  the  trotting 
breed  from  its  foundation  to  the  present  day.  There 
is  no  writer  on  the  subject  who  is  a  more  careful  and 
painstaking  person  than  Editor  Parlin,  nor  one  who 
sticks  closer  to  facts  and  makes  so  few  statements  on 
hearsay.  He  believes  in  "the  thoroughbred  cross" 
and  supports  every  claim  made  by   facts  and   figures 


that  no  fair-minded  person  can  gainsay.  The  work  's 
profusely  illustrated  with  pictures  of  the  most  noted 
trotters,  sires  and  broodmares,  nearly  all  from  copy- 
righted photographs  made  by  Scbrieber,  the  leading 
animal  photographer  of  America.  The  price  of  the 
book  is  only  $2,  and  every  horseman  who  buys  and 
reads  it  will  consider  it  the  best  investment  he  ever 
made  with  that  much  money. 


LJARTFORD  ENTRIES  close  Monday  next,  May 
15th,  for  four  big  stakes,  one  of  which  is  tbe 
famous  Charter  Oak,  $10,000  for  2:09  class  trotters.  In 
addition  to  this  big  event  there  is  a  stake  of  $2000 
for  2:14  class  trotters,  one  of  $3000  for  2:30  class  trot- 
ters, and  one  of  $2000  for  2:08  class  pacers.  These 
races  will  all  be  mile  heats,  best  three  in  five  and  the 
payments  of  the  five  per  cent  en  trance  fee  are  arranged 
so  that  an  owner  can  get  out  at  small  expense  if  his 
horse  goes  wrong  early  in  tbe  season.  The  Secretary 
of  the  Hartford  Grand  Circuit  meeting  is  E.  M. 
Stalker,  and  his  office  is  at  Ronm  1  in  tbe  Tower, 
Madison  Square  Garden,  New  York.  See  that  you 
mail  him  your  entries  for  any  or  all  these  stakes  by 
Monday  next,  May  15tb. 


""THAT  inquisitive  old  fellow,  "Constant  Reader"

therefore,  be  registered  under  Rule  4,  which  reads: 
"A  mare  sired  by  a  registered  standard  trottiDg 
horse,  provided  she  is  the  dam  of  two  trot'ers  with 
records  of  2:30. "  We  have  mailed  you  registration 
blank  giving  full  particulars.  We  have  no  record  of 
a  horse  called  Jack  Doofer. 


F.  S.  LOW,  Petaluma— We  do  not  recall  an  Elec 
tioneer  stallion  having  bis  leg  broken  at  the  place 
and  time  you  mention.  Boydello  2:14J  wrenched  an 
ankl*1,  but  the  injury  was  only  temporary.  This  was 
in  1900.

Mr.  F.  E.  Wright,  of  Sacramento,  has  placed  an 
order  with  the  San  Fraocitco  Wheel  and  Novelty 
Company  for  a  Flower  City  eulky  to  fit  his  game  little 
pacer  K^ily  Briggs  2:09J  and  with  it  the  eon  of  Baj6-

year.  Mr.  Joe  Eviston,  of  this  city,  has  purchased 
from  the  Bame  cotrpany  a  Flower  City  cait  for  his 
Direct  pacer  and  it  is  a  beauty. 

The  directorsof  the  State  Agricultural  Society  held 
a  meeting  Friday  afternoon,  and  several  features  of 
the  improvements  proposed  for  the  new  grounds  were 
discussed.  A.  M.  Allen,  the  architect  and  engineer, 
submitted  partial  plans  and  fstimates  for  the  laying 
out  of  the  track,  etc.,  and  some  of  the  plans  for  build- 
ings. The  architect's  office  has  been  erected  on  the 
fair  ground  and  tbe  survey  has  been  started.  The 
county  surveyor's  assistants  are  surveying  the  ten 
acre  tract  purchased  by  the  State.

[May  13,  190* 


SEVERAL  SMtLlS'G  FACK3  were  seen  last  week 
among  the  horsemen  of  California.  They  were 
the  recipients  of  nea'.  little  Vimdtna  from  Secretary 
Albert- Lindley  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society  in- 
forming them  that  the  money  to  pay  the  Society's 
debts  was  available,  and  that  the.  amounts  they  had 
won  in  purses  and  stakes  last  year  was  awaiting  tbeni 
and  would  be  paid  by  the  Society's  treasurer  upon 
presentation  of  the  bills.  Several  of  the  horsemen 
started  for  Sacramento  without  delay  to  get  the  cash, 
acd  by  the  time  these  lines  are  printed  they  will  all 
have  been  paid  the  amounts  due  them,  which  tue  as- 
sociation found  itself  unable  to  settle  last  fall.  Noth- 
ing now  remains  of  the '-unpleasantness"  which  un- 
fortunately arose  between  the  Directors  and  the 
horsemen,  and  all  should  now  be  plain  sailing  for  a 
State  fair  this  year  that  will  have  the  united  and  en- 
thusiastic support  of  every  person  who  haB  the  wel- 
fare of  the  State  of  California  at  heart.  When  one 
stops  to  consider  the  whole  situation  it  is  very  plain 
that  the  State  Agricultural  Society  is  in  better  shape 
than  ever  to  hold  a  fir>t-class  State  exhibition  at  Sac- 
ramento. The  new  fair  grounds  are  now  the  property 
of  the  State  and  the  Society  is  out  of  debt.  Enough 
money  has  b«en  appropriated  to  erect  a  number  of 
buildings  in  which  live  stock  and  other  exhibits  can 
be  boused  in  thoroughly  up-to-date  manner,  and 
while  the  new  grand  stand  will  not  be  built  this  year, 
a  temporary  structure  will  seat  comfortably  all  who 
desire  to  witness  the  races  and  the  stock  parades. 
The  new  track  will  be  finished  in  five  or  six  weeks, 
grading  having  already  begun  under  the  supervision 
of  Mr.  A.  N  Allen,  the  leading  track  builder  in  this 
country.  There  will  be  about  fifty  thousand  dollars 
spent  in  permanent  Improvements  on  the  new  fair 
grounds  thi-  year  and  within  three  or  four  years  we 
may  expect  to  see  at  Sacramento  one  of  the  most  com, 
plete  fair  grounds  in  America. 


The  entry  list  received  by  the  Pacific  Coast  Trot- 
ting Horse  Breeders  Association  for  its  August  meet- 
iog  is  the  best  in  years,  and  wherever  the  meeting  is 
held  it  will  furnish  one  of  the  best  racing  programs 
that  ever  delighted  an  audience.  The  $2000  Cali- 
fornia Stake  for  2:24  class  trotters,  being  the  largest 
stake  for  aged  horses  given  in  the  State,  naturally 
attracts  the  most  attention.  This  is  the  fourth  re- 
newal of  this  rich  stake.  It  was  inaugurated  by  the 
Breeders  in  1902  and  was  won  at  Fresno  that  vear  by 
Will  Durfee's  Petigru.  The  other  starters  were 
Foteat  W.,  Verona  and  Vi  Direct  and  they  finished  in 
the  order  named.  The  fastest  heat  was  the  second  in 
2:10  and  the  race  was  finished  in  three  heats.  The 
field  was  small  that  year  because  the  meeting  was  held 
late  in  the  season,  the  race  being  trotted  October  3d. 
The  following  year,  1903,  the  Breeders  meetirg  was 
held  at  Petaluma,  opening  August  26th.  On  Satui- 
day,  August  29th,  the  California  Stake  was  decided. 
There  were  eleven  starters  and  four  heats  were  re- 
quired to  decide  the  winner.  J.  R.  Alberfson  wen 
the  first  heat  with  George  G.  in  2:14J,  but  the  next 
hea",  wont  to  Deputy  driven  by  Charley  Whitehead 
in  2:13J,  George  G.  making  a  break.  Albertson's 
horse  look  the  next  two,  however,  each  in  2:12}, 
which  is  the  record  for  the  stake  At  the  end  of  the 
race  the  starters  stood  as  follows  in  the  summary: 
George,  G.,  Deputy,  Dr.  Hammond,  Rosie  Woodburn, 
Louise  Croner,  Una  K  ,  Sutter,  Daisy  B  ,  Telephone, 
Jupiter  B.  and  Moor  Rose.  Last  year's  race  for  this 
stake  will  not  be  soon  forgotten  by  those  who  saw  it. 
The  meeting  was  held  at  San  Jose,  and  the  race  came 
off  August  tith.  Ten  horses  started.  The  first  heat 
wool  to  the  McKinney  mare  Una  K.  in  2:145.  Morosco 
won  the  second  beat  in  the  same  notch,  and  the  third 
o  II.  1)  B.  In  2:14j  after  which  Morosco 
took  the  next  two  and  the  race  in  2:15j  and  2:17}.  H. 
D.  li.  got  second  money,  Una  K  third,  Abe  Miller 
fourth  and  Little  Bubo  that  had  been  up  lighting  for 
ev.,ry  heat  was  fifth  and  got  no  money  although  she 
trotted  three  heat*  In  2:15  or  better  during  the  race. 
Golden  Gate,  Blrdcatcher,  Telephone.  R.  W.  P.  and 
MoPberaon  were,  the  other  starters 

oventeen  entries  to  the  California  Stake 
this  year,    I  Mr    .1.    U.   Springer's    mare

oeptAS  Above  mentioned.     Lltth   Babi    Is  again  nomi- 
')■...■(!   In  this  stake,  as  Is  Mr.  Biljan'e   hor 


catcher  that  also  started  in  the  last  stake.  Mr.  Isaac 
Morehouse  has  named  in  the  race  an  Eastern  bred 
gelding  called  Auget  Baron  that  is  by  Baron  Wilkes, 
out  of  Lady  Wilton,  the  dam  of  Lady  Thisbe  2:11J 
by  Wilton.  Auget  Baron  was  registered  as  a  stallion 
but  was  gelded  when  a  colt.  He  Is  spoken  of  as  a 
very  promising  trotter.  Will  Durfee  haB  a  Zombro 
mare  called  Helen  Dare  in  this  event  and  W.  W. 
Mendenhall  has  named  the  Zombro  gelding  Charlie 
T  in  it.  Both  are  trotting  like  money  winners  and 
have  shown  up  well  so  far.  "White  Hat"  McCarty 
signalizes  his  return  to  the  trotting  turf  by  naming 
the  chestnut  horse  Lucky  Dillon  by  Sidney  Dillon  out 
of  a  Sultan  mare.  This  is  the  only  Sidney  Dillon 
named  in  the  event,  but  McCarty  says  he  is  a  member 
of  the  two  minute  family  and  he  expects  him  to  earn 
the  big  end  of  the  stake.  Woodland  Stock  Farm's 
entry  Is  The  Bouquet,  a  Nushagak  filly  that  was 
ready  to  start  in  the  Occident  and  Stanford  Stakes  in 
1902  had  the  farm's  good  colt  Aristo  not  been  ready  to 
deliver  the  goods  which  he  did  so  gracefully  that 
year.  The  Bouquet  is  a  nice-going  trotter  and  a 
good  looker  as  well.  Oro  Belmont,  the  gelding  by 
Oro  Wilkes  that  won  a  race  of  half-mile  heats  laBt 
week  at  Dixon,  in  the  rain  and  mud,  is  another  one  of 
this  year's  California  stake  candidates.  His  first  heat 
in  1:09  and  his  second  in  LIHshows  that  he  is  a  pretty 
good  mud  borse  and  on  a  good  track  he  should  be 
able  to  step  fast  enough  to  be  in  the  money.  The 
remaining  entries— LeRoy  O.  by  WaldsteiD,  Billy 
Dooley  by  Bay  Bird,  D.  E.  Knight  by  Linmont,  Con- 
nors by  Titus,  Don  M.  by  Neernut,  Blanch  T.  by 
Stickle,  Homeway  by  Strathway  and  Modoc  by  Daly 
have  all  shown  enough  Bpeed  to  warrant  their  belDg 
trained  for  this  the  leading  trotting  event  of  the  year 
In  California,  and  one  of  them  may  prove  to  be  the 
winner.  It  would  not  surprise  me  to  see  last  year's 
time  beaten  in  the  race  this  year,  but  I  hardly  ex- 
pect to  see  George  G.'s  record  of  2:12}  in  the  third 
and  fourth  heats  equalled.  In  fact,  I  believe  that  any 
horse  that  trots  as  well  as  Little  Babe  did  in  last 
year's  stake  will  not  be  outside  the  moDey  as  she  un- 
fortunately was.  

The  New  Zealand  Trotting  Association  has  a  rule 
very  much  like  that  of  the  Jockey  Club  in  New  York, 
which  requires  that  every  horse  competing  in  races 
on  tracks  holding  membership  in  fie  New  Zealand 
TrottiDg  Association  must  be  registered  with  the 
association.  No  standard  of  breeding  is  required  but 
the  breeding  of  every  horse  so  far  as  known  must  be 
given  together  with  a  complete  description  of  his  size, 
color,  marks  and  brands  if  any.  The  association 
issues  a  pamphlet  annually,  listing  all  horses  regis- 
tered during  the  year.  A  copy  of  this  pamphlet  was 
received  at  the  office  of  this  journal  by  the  last  mail 
from  New  Zealand,  and  from  its  pages  I  take  the  fol- 
io wing  sample  of  the  registration  of  a  horse  as  there 
given: 

Bloomington,  b  g,  5  years,  by  Wilmington,  15.3 
hands;  no  brands.  Bright  bay  gelding,  black  points, 
scar  six  inches  from  nose,  near  hind  fetlock  white,  off 
hind  coronet  white,  two  small  white  marks  on  fore- 
head.    Registered  February  12,  1904. 

Now  I  submit  that  the  National  and  American 
Trotting  Associations  could  not  do  a  wiserthing  than 
adopt  this  horse  registering  plan  of  their  New  Zeal- 
and contemporary.  It  would  be  a  great  safeguard 
against  ringers  aud  would  also  do  much  to  prevent 
the  making  of  false  pedigrees.  If  the  small  fee  of  25 
cents  was  charged  for  registering  it  would  fully  cover 
the  cost  of  same  and  printing  the  pamphlet  at  the  end 
of  the  year.  New  Zealand  and  Australia  have  origi- 
nated and  adopted  many  new  inventions  to  popularize 
racing,  such  as  the  numbered  sadole  cloths,  starting 
gates,  totalisators,  etc  ,  and  this  plan  of  registering 
all  horses  that  race  is  one  of  the  best  and  is  worthy  of 
adoption  by  this  and  every  other  country  where  rac- 
ing is  held. 

Last  week's  issue  of  the  Pleasanton  Times  contained 
the  statement  that  "Pleasanton  will  probably  be  un- 
able to  give  a  meeting  this  year."  This  is  very  un- 
fortunate and  the  result  of  a  disagreement  over  the 
rental  of  the  track,  but  if  those  most  interested  will 
only  get  togethtr  In  a  spirit  of  mutual  conciliation, 
they  should  be  able  to  agree  on  terms  and  keep 
Pleasanton  in  the  prominent  place  on  the  circuit 
which  she  earned  last  year.  The  Pleasanton  Fair 
and  Racing  Association  of  which  Mr.  C  L.  Crellin  is 
President  and  F.  E.  Adams  Secretary,  gave  one  of 
the  most  successful  meetings  held  on  the  circuit  last 
year  and  have  now  nearly  a  thousand  dollars  in  the 
treasury  left  over  after  paying  all  bills.  The  associa- 
tion expected  and  desired  to  give  a  still  better  and 
more  profitable  meeting  this  year,  but  when  they 
opened  negotiations  with  Mr.  Ronan  for  the  track,  a 
hitch  arose  over  the  price,  and  up  to  this  time  there 
lines  not  Beem  to  be  much  chance  of  any  agreement 
being  reached.  Considerable  ill  feeling  has  been 
Btlrred  up  over  the  matter  and  there  has  been  a  lot  of 
talk  about  building  a  new  training  track  at   Pleasan- 


ton, which  of  course,  has  not  made  Mr.  Ronan  an 
better  disposed  toward  thoee  who  have  advocated 
such  a  solution  of  the  question.  Pleasanton  ia  the 
acknowledged  horse  training  centre  of  California 
during  the  winter  months,  and  has  a  track  that  is 
not  equalled  anywhere  in  the  world  for  winter  train- 
ing The  town  and  all  who  own  property  therein  are 
greatly  benefitted  by  the  keeping  there  of  three  or 
four  hundred  horses,  and  their  trainers  and  care- 
taaers  from  November  to  May.  The  place  has  many 
advantages  over  any  other  winter  training  ground  in 
California,  but  as  a  house  divided  againBt  itself  cannot 
stand,  it  will  become  unpopular  with  horsemen  unless 
there  is  more  harmony  and  better  feeling  among  those 
of  its  citizens  who  are  most  interested  in  maintaining 
its  position  as  the  horse  training  centre.  There  should 
be  mutual  concessions,  and  Mr.  Ronan  and  the  Fair 
Association  Directors  should  get  together  at  a  meet- 
ing held  especially  for  that  purpoEe  snd  see  if  they 
cannot  come  to  some  sort  of  an  agreement.  If  they 
do  not,  some  other  track  in  California  may  get  the 
horses  next  winter.      

Robert  Smith,  of  Los  Angeles,  who  raced  Sweet 
Marie  2:04|  on  the  Grand  Circuit  last  year,  came  up 
from  Los  Angeles  this  week  on  a  short  visit.  He  says 
that  Walter  Maben  has  a  good  string  of  horses  at 
University,  and  a  few  days  ago  stepped  "the  pink 
horse,"  the  gray  gelding  Rozell  2:14  by  Bob  Ma.-or,  a 
milein2:10J.  If  this  horse  was  a  good  steady  race 
horse  he  would  be  able  to  give  any  2:10  horse  an 
argument  in  a  three  in  five  race  as  he  is  game  as  a 
pebble.  Mr.  Smith  says  Maben  has  two  pacers  that 
can  beat  2:10  and  Is  a  busy  man  as  his  string  is  quite 
numerous.  W.  G.  Durfee,  he  reports,  as  working 
from  "early  morn  till  dewey  eve"  with  the  largest 
string  of  horses  ever  in  one  man's  charge  at  Los 
Angeles.  Mr.  Smith  relates  with  great  gusto  bow  he 
beat  Will  driving  a  gray  pacer,  with  the  trotter 
Briney  K.  Durfee  waB  working  the  gray  and  had 
beaten  Briney  K  ,  driven  by  his  owner  Mr.  Berry, 
through  the  stretch,  when  Mr.  Smith  made  a  remark 
about  it  being  a  scratch.  Thereupon  Durfee  offered 
to  let  Smith  drive  Briney  the  next  heat  and  to  bet  a 
"sombrero"  that  the  gray  pacer  would  beat  him  the 
last  quarter.  The  defi  was  accepted  and  they  started. 
After  jogging  along  at  a  forty  gait  up  to  the  three- 
quarter  pole  they  started  on  even  terms  at  tbat 
point  and  raced  to  the  wire.  For  two-thirds  of 
the  way  the  gray  was  in  the  lead  by  a  half  a  length 
and  Mr.  Smith  savs  that  he  thought  Briney  was  all 
in,  but  just  then  the  gray  sprawled  a  little,  while 
Briney  came  again  and  with  lifting  and  reefing  the 
two  horses  got  to  the  wire  in  31  seconds  with  Briney's 
nose  in  front  as  Smith  expressed  it,  "by  about  half 
the  length  of  a  cigar."  He  says  it  was  the  best  race 
he  has  had  in  five  years,  and  he  never  wore  a  hat  he 
appreciated  winning  more  than  the  one  Will  Durfee 
bought  him.  

A  few  weeks  ago  there  arrived  in  Pleasanton  from 
New  York  State  a  man  named  James  P.  Dunnigan, 
who  went  to  work  soon  after  Mb  arrival  for  Mr.  J.  D. 
Springer  as  caretaker  for  some  of  the  horses  that 
gedtleman  has  in  training.  He  was  an  excellent  horse- 
man, one  of  the  sort  tbat  is  not  afraid  of  work  and 
addicted  to  the  habit  of  saving  his  money,  and  had  a 
neat  little  roll  of  it  with  him  which  he  placed  on  de- 
posit in  the  local  bank.  Dunnigan  bid  an  eye  for  a 
good  horse  and  kept  it  open  for  one  that  would  suit 
his  fancy  and  that  he  thought  would  be  a  profitable 
one  for  him  to  own.  When  Mr.  W.  H.  Lumsden  of 
Santa  Rosa  6ent  his  stallion  McPherson  to  Pleasanton 
to  be  shipped  East  to  the  Fasig-Tipton  Boston  sale, 
Mr.  Dunnigan  saw  him  and  liked  him.  He  inquired 
as  to  the  price  that  would  be  taken  for  the  horse, 
cash  down,  and  thinking  the  sum  stated  was  reason- 
able, made  the  purchase,  and  arranged  to  ship  him 
East  with  the  East  View  Farm  string  which  left  last 
week.  He  will  locate  McPherson  somewhere  in  New 
York,  placing  him  In  the  stud.  Mr.  Dunnigan  has 
secured  one  of  the  best  looking  and  fastest  McKinney 
stallions  ever  bred  in  this  State.  The  dam  of  Mc- 
Pherson is  that  great  broodmare  Eveline  by  Nutwood 
600,  a  mare  tbat  has  raised  a  big  family  of  trotters 
and  pacers,  everyone  of  which  had  great  speed.  She 
Ib  the  dam  of  the  fast  trotters  Ole  2:11,  Tietam  2:19 
and  Maud  Fowler  2:213,  aDd  of  the  pacer  Roblet  2:12. 
The  last  named  is  the  dam  of  Robin  Stanley  2:29J, 
and  Maud  Fowler  is  the  dam  of  the  very  fast  mare 
Sonoma  Girl  that  is  to  be  raced  this  year.  McPherson 
is  from  great  producing  families  on  both  sides.  His 
sire  is  the  leading  sire  of  2:15  trotters  and  his  dam  one 
of  the  greatest  daughters  of  the  greatest  broodmare 
sire  in  tbe  world.  That  McPherson  will  sire  early 
and  extreme  speed  there  is  no  doubt.  It  is  a  foregone 
conclusion.  He  is  a  gi;and  individual  a  very  fast  trot- 
ter and  bred  as  well  as  any  and  much  better  than 
most  stallions.  I  believe  an  ailment  in  one  of  his  legs 
is  the  cause  of  his  not  getting  a  record,  but  I  also 
bnlleve  that  a  year's  let  up  from  track  work  will  put 
him  in  shape  to  race  and  race  well,  and  if  be  ever 
starts  right,  2:10  is  within  his  reach.  Mr.  Dunnigan 
has  secured  a  stallion  that  will  be  a  valuable  addition 
to  any  horse  breediog  community  and  one  that 
will  certainly  attract  patronage  where  his  qua'^ies 
are  known.  Hi

A  Portland  Sale. 


The  third  annual  McCarthy  sale,  held  in  Portland, 
Or.,  May  2nd  and  3rd,  was  not  marked  by  a  blaze  of 
glory,  though  steady  inquiry  appeared  and  buyers 
present  strained  no  muscles  reaching  for  bargains. 
The  bargains  came  close  and  told  their  own  story  with 
each  entry  into  the  sale  ring. 

The  chief  interest  was  in  the  consignment  of  Mr.  C. 
X.  Larrabee  from  his  great  Brook-Nook  farm  in  Mon- 
tina.  The  youngsters  of  the  blood  royal,  finished, 
promising,  having  the  lung  development  of  high  alti- 
tudes, the  feet  and  legs  of  untrammelled  colthood  and 
the  spirit  and  beauty  of  generations  known  to  the 
register,  the  year  book  and  the  show  ring. 

Brook-Nook's  consignments  were  mostly  young- 
sters, undeveloped  and  hardly  fit  for  use.  Some  great 
breeding  and  racing  prospects  were  shown,  and  the 
fifty  head  sold  will  greatly  benefit  the  blood  of  the 
northwest,  many  sections  being  represented  at  the 
sale.  The  average  price  was  over  $180,  Knick-Knaok 
2:24i,  a  very  speedy  pacer,  going  at  $500,  the  highest 
price  in  the  Larrabee  division.  Mr.  Larrabee  is  a 
friend  of  the  Morgans,  and  it  was  doubtless  a  source 
orsatisfaction  to  him  to  observe  interest  in  his  favi  r- 
ite  strains,  though  horsemen  present  viewed  with 
favor  the  Morgan  as  foundation  biood,  rather  than  in 
near  crosses.  Baron  Wilkes,  Red  Wilkes,  Mambrino 
Pd,',ch-)n,  Alcyone,  Alfonso  Keeler  and  others  of  ihe 
highest  horse  nobility  were  introduced  through  close 
descendents,  and  gave  Mr.  McCarthy  suitable  texts  for 
high  class  horse  talks. 

Some  good  small  consignments  brought  fair  prices. 
Yukon  2:14  was  knocked  down  at  $700;  The  Zoo,  a 
three-year-old  Zombro  with  an  inclination  to  trot,  at 
$600  and  two  full  brothers  to  Baronlace  2:141,  three 
and  four,  both  pacers,  at  $540  and  $235.  Some  yourg. 
sters  of  good  parentage  and  a  few  medium  quality 
drivers  went  low. 

It  was  expected  that  a  better  crowd  would  be  in  at- 
tendance, the  market  being  bare  of  horse  offerings. 
Evidently  the  demand  iB  for  roadsters  ready  for  use, 
high  bred,  with  quality. 

The  local  talent  was  present.  Editor  Wisdom 
refereed  the  proceedings.  Portland's  May  zephyrs 
toyed  in  turn  with  the  young  poplar  leaves,  the  editor's 
whiskers  and  tbe  gay  fringes  of  Prof.  Bradburn.  W- 
H.  Wehrung,  formerly  proprietor  of  tbe  Oregon  State 
Pair,  rode  from  Hillsboro  on  bis  family  steed  Vinmont, 
and  parted  tearfully  with  that  faithful  animal.  D. 
M.  Woodworth,  the  Palmer  Cox  of  Albani ,  looked 
on  for  a  day  or  two.  John  Sawyer  blossomed  out 
wonderfully  and  took  a  few  youngsters  to  develop. 
Handsome  Harry  Osmon  waived  admission  chargts 
and  between  acts  of  the  sale  exhibited  Hat  B.  to 
admiring  horsemen.  Mr.  McCarthy  is  an  able  sale 
general  and  brought  out  all  the  value  there  was  in  the 
crowd.  C.  L  McCarthy  managed  the  warming  up 
process  and  was  right  on  schedule  time.  The  general 
expectation  was  quite  met  in  quality  if  not  in  price. 

Portland,  May  5, 1905. 

Board  of  Review  Meeting. 

The  Board  of  Review  of  the  National  Trotting 
Association  met  at  New  York  on  Tuesday  and  Wed- 
nesday of  last  week. 

Owing  to  the  illness  of  Gen.  Benjamin  P.Tracy, 
counsel  for  James  Butler,  President  of  the  Empire 
City  Driving  Club  and  one  of  the  most  prominent 
local  horsemen,  the  case  against  him  presented  before 
the  Board  of  Review  of  the  National  TrottiDg  Asso- 
ciation was  adjourned  until  the  next  meeting,  which 
means  that  the  case  will  not  come  up  for  final  settle- 
ment until  December.  Mr.  Butler  was  present  at  the 
session  of  the  board  and  seemed  well  satisfied  with  the 
adjournment,  although  he  stated  that  he  would  be 
very  glad  to  have  the  matter  settled. 

The  case  is  a  complicated  one,  and  is  practically 
unique  in  the  history  of  the  Trotting  Association.  In 
brief,  ii  is  charged  that  $30,000  was  paid  unlawfully 
to  Mr.  Butler  last  season  for  his  winnings  with  seven 
horses  the  most  important  being  Consuela  S.  2:07|, 
and  Aristo  2:08}.  Monroe  Salisbury  was  employed 
by  Mr.  Butler  to  look  alter  some  of  his  horses,  and  it 
is  because  of  old  suspensions  hanging  over  Mr.  Salis- 
bury that  the  trouble  arose. 

A  number  of  small  cases  came  hefore  the  board. 
One  of  the  most  important  was  the  request  of  Joe 
Gahagan,  driver  of  Dr.  Strong  at  the  Buffalo  meeting, 
in  which  Dr.  Strong  lost  the  first  heat.  Geers  then 
drove  and  won  the  next  two  heats,  and  Gahagan  was 
fined  $200  for  alleged  pulling.  Gahagan  claimed  that 
he  drove  honestly,  that  he  had  driven  for  ten  years 
in  Grand  Circuit  meets,  and  never  had  a  charge 
against  him.  He  asked  that  he  be  exonerated  from 
the  charge  and  his  fine  returned.  Considerable  testi- 
mony was  heard.  W.  Perry  Taylor,  President  of  the 
Buffalo  Driving  Association,  stated  that  it  was  the 
most  flagrant  case  of  pulling  he  ever  6aw.  This  evi- 
dently had  weight  with  the  members  of  the  board,  for 


they  announced  that  the  decision  of  the  iudges  was 
sustained. 

E  E.  Smathers  of  New  York  was  fined  $250  for 
technical  violation  of  rule,  but  was  exonerated  of 
fraudulent  or  dishonest  intent.  The  case  was  the  out- 
come of  the  sale  of  the  famous  trotter,  Doctor  Strong, 
between  heats  of  the  Massachusetts  Stake  Race,  in- 
volving a  $15,000  purse,  at  Readville  last  year,  the 
two  judges  failing  to  announce  the  purchase  from  the 
stand.  Z.K.Travis,  who  sold  the  horse,  was  also 
fined  $100. 

A  large  docket  was  disposed  of,  nearly  all  the  cases 
being  of  interest  only  to  those  directly  connected  with 
them. 


News  From  the  North. 

[Rural  Spirit,  Portland.] 

John  Lance  will  soon  move  his  stable  from  North 
Yakima  to  Walla  Walla.  He  says  Sam  BowerB  is 
developing  into  a  very  fast  trotter. 

John  Lance  writes  us  that  he  has  sold  his  stallion, 
Dr.  Bunnelle  2:16}  to  J.  B.  Cummings  of  Ritzville, 
Wash.,  for  $1200.  Dr.  Bunnelle  is  a  bay  stallion  sired 
by  Ingraham,  dam  Lady  Kisbar  by  Young  Kisbar, 
sire  of  the  dam  of  Dr.  Sperry  2:09. 

Fred  Woodcock,  a  recent  arrival  from  Kansas,  is  at 
Irvington  with  a  very  handsome  three-year-old  stal- 
lion by  Falmont  Jr.,  son  of  Palmont  2:14}.  dam  Eva 
Wright  2:25}  by  Clegg  Wright  2:29,  second  dam  Sue 
Baecher  by  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  third  d  m  by  Kent, 
son  of  Hambletonian  10,  fourth  dam  by  Addison 
Lambert,  son  of  Daniel  Lambert. 

N.  K.  West,  of  Westbrook  Farm  near  La  Grands, 
reports  the  following  foals  this  spring:  Nettie  Ham 
2:19},  filly  by  Kalispel,  son  of  Prodigal;  Blonette,  filly 
by  Batin  Royal  2:19};  Mable  M.  filly  by  The  Common- 
wealth 2:16}. 

There  is  a  three-year-old  trotter  at  Kelvin  Grove 
Farm  sired  by  Harry  McC,  that  is  said  to  possess  a 
wonderful  lot  of  natural  speed.  This  filly  is  unbroken, 
but  in  the  field  she  does  nothing  but  trot  even  when 
the  other  horses  are  on  the  run. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  First  Eastern  Oregon 
District  Agricultural  Society,  held  in  La  Grande,  the 
following  directors  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year: 
Pete  McDonald,  Andrew  Blockland,  J.  C.  Scriber,  J. 
D.  McKinnon,  Chas.  Melquest,  Wm.  Church  and  N. 
K.  West.  The  directors  met  and  elected  the  following 
officers:  President,  N.K.  West;  vice-president,  Andrew 
Blockland;  secretary  and  treasurer,  Pred  J.  Holmes. 
The  directors  decided  on  holding  a  fair  and  race  meet- 
ing this  year. 

Grandpa  Tilden  is  about  the  happiest  man  on  the 
track  over  the  way  his  young  Zombros  are  coming  to 
the  front.  Mr.  Tilden  has  three  and  they  are  all 
promising.  Zomden,  a  three  year-old  pacer,  by 
Zombro,  out  of  May  Tilden  2:25,  is  the  Rhythmic  of 
the  prune  orchard;  Zomboi,  a  full  brother,  a  year 
younger,  is  a  trotter  and  with  apologies  to  the  many 
fine  Zombro  colts  in  this  country,  we  believe  this  the 
best  one  we  have  seen.  He  is  a  beautiful  dark  bay 
and  resembles  his  sire  very  much  in  conformation, 
and  in  as  much  as  Mr.  Beckers  is  a  long  ways  off,  will 
say  he  is  a  better  looking  colt  than  Zombro  waB  in  his 
three-year-old  form.  Zombert  is  another  Zombro  out 
of  May  Scott  2:24,  by  Scarlet  Letter;  second  dam 
Tenino  2:19},  fully  sister  to  Chehalis  2:04},  that  Mr. 
Tilden  intends  to  race  this  season,  being  a  very  stout 
built  colt  that  promises  to  go  fast.  He  is  if  anything 
the  best  bred  one,  but  does  not  possess  the  high  finish 
and  quality  of  Zomboi. 

Mr.  Larrabee  distributed  a  very  fine  bunch  of 
horses  at  the  McCarthy  sale,  from  which  this  county 
will  derive  a  great  benefit. 

Merrick  Diver  18509,  a  full  brother  to  the  great 
John  R.  Gentry  2:00$,  is  making  a  season  in  Butte, 
Montana.    He  is  owned  by  Dr.  T.  B.  Moore. 

Oregon  Dick,  first  prize  winner  at  the  Woodburn 
Horse  Show  in  roadster  class,  was  sold  to  W.  A. 
Leiber  of  San  Francisco  by  L.  C.  McCormick  this 
week. 

The  California  papers  are  trying  already  to  claim 
Mack  Mack  aB  a  California  horse.  He  is  an  Oregon 
bred,  raised  and  developed  horse  and  never  saw  Cali- 
fornia until  this  spring.

The  Pacific  Coast  is  well  represented  in  this  stake, 
nine  trotters  bred  here  being  named .  They  are  Thos.

Avenue  by  Mendocino,  and  George  H.  Easterbrook  of 
Denver  has  named  the  brown  filly  Lady  Zombro  by 
Zombro  in  this  stake.  These  are  the  only  ones  bred 
in  California  that  have  been  named  in  the  stake.  It 
is  unfortunate  that  Mr.  Easterbrook  has  selected  the 
name  Lady  Zombro  as  there  iB  an  aged  mare  called 
Lady  Zombro  with  a  mark  of  2:24$,  in  P.  W.  Hodges'

Sonoma  has  a  Track  and  Driving  Club. 

In  April  of  last  year  sixteen  residents  of  Sonoma 
formed  an  organization  known  as  the  Sonoma  Driving 
Club.  A  half  mile  track  was  surveyed  and  graded, 
and  two  successful  meetings  were  given,  one  on  July 
4th,  the  other  September  9th.  At  each  meet  four 
harness  events  and  one  running  race  were  given,  the 
purses  amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  $150  at  each 
meeting.  The  best  time  made  was  2:30  for  the  mile 
over  the  two  laps  and  the  track  while  fair  was  never 
in  condition  that  could  be  called  fast.  The  track  has 
been  much  improved  this  year,  the  turns  having  been 
thrown  up  and  the  surface  made  smoother  and  level. 
Several  new  members  have  been  taken  into  the  club 
and  it  is  proposed  to  hold  meetirgs  this  year  on  May 
30th,  July  4th,  September  9th  and  Thanksgiving  Day. 
A  better  class  of  horses  are  in  tbe  hands  of  the  mem- 
bers this  year  and  nearly  all  the  owners  are  using  new 
bikes  and  up-to-date  rigging  Sonoma  is  one  of  the 
historic  towns  of  the  State  and  now  that  it  has  quick 
railroad  communication  with  Napa  as  well  as  with  all 
the  towns  in  Sonoma  and  Marin  counties,  and  Is  but 
an  hour  and  a  half's  ride  from  San  Francisco,  it  should 
get  to  be  quite  a  borse  centre,  especially  as  the  club 
members  all  take  an  interest  in  breeding  good  ones  as 
well  aB  driving  them.  Among  the  horses  owned  by 
club  members  is  a  three-year-old  stallion  by  Seymour 
Wilkes  out  of  a  Silver  Bow  mare  that  trotted  a  trial 
of  2:23  as  a  three-year-old,  and  Is  owned  by  Mr.  W. 
C.  Nolan  of  Sonoma  This  young  stallion  has  had  no 
work  yet,  but  is  nicely  broken  and  will  soon  be  put 
in  training.  So  far  as  looks,  etc. ,  go  he  is  certainly  a 
very  attractive  horse  and  is  highly  thought  of  by  all 
the  Sonoma  horsemen. 


Readville  Stake  Entries. 


A  big  entry  list  has  been  received  by  the  New 
England  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  for  its 
August  meeting.  The  Massachusetts,  a  $10,000  stake 
for  2:10  olass  trotters  has  sixteen  nominators.  James 
Thompson  has  taken  one  and  Mr.  S.  N.  Mlnoranother 
for  John  Caldwell  2:11}  and  Morosco  2:12  respectively. 
East  View  Farm  also  has  a  nomination  in  this  rioh 
event,  and  J.  C.  McKinney  has  taken  a  nomination  for 
the  Zombro  mare  Zephyr. 

The  Blue  Hill,  $5000  stake  for  2:30  class  trotters  has 
no  less  than  38  entries.  The  California  bred  horses 
named  are  Briquette  by  Zombro  and    Delia   McCarty 


Half  a  Horse  Goes  Down  His  Throat. 


Secretary  Wilson,  of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture  is  quoted  as  saying: 

4,We  are  importing  considerable  blooded  stock  for 
breeding  purposes.  In  my  judgment  we  have  some 
of  the  finest  breeding  animals  right  here  in  the  United 
States.  Our  horse  people  here  In  the  department  are 
going  to  try  to  develop  a  twelve  or  thirteen  hundred 
pound  roadster  from  American  stock,  which  should 
take  the  place  of  and  be.  better  than  our  importations. 
We  are  going  to  start  in  Colorado  and  breed  up  some 
colts  with  this  purpose  in  view.  And  I  am  going  to 
have  my  own  way  about  feeding  tbese  colts  and  mak- 
ing them  the  finest  animals  possible.  I  am  going  to 
have  their  feeding  commence  while  they  are  still 
suckling." 

That's  the  way  Palo  Alto  Farm  raised  its  colts  and 
every  horseman  remembers  when  that  farm  showed 
Its  hor6es  at  all  theCalifornia  fairs  that  the  yearlings 
looked  as  big  and  strong  as  the  average  two-year-olds 
and  the  two  year-olds  looked  like  mature  horses. 

A  sanitarium  for  old  and  disabled  horses  has  been 
estabhsi  ed  at  Red  Acre  Farm,  Stowe,  Mass  ,ibu'  a 
mile  from  South  Acton  station.  Disabled  horses 
found  suffering  from  ill-usage  are  taken  to  the  farm, 
where  a  course  of  medical  treatment,  good  feeiitug 
and  proper  care  and  rest  soon  puts  them  in  shape  If 
recovery  is  possible.

The  stallion  Ben  Liebes  2:17}  by  McKinney  out  of 
the  great  brood  mare  Belle  McGregor  by  Robert  Mc- 
Gregor is  standing  at  Lexington,  Kentucky,  and 
twenty  mares  have  already  been  booked  to  him. 

The  Stanford  Stake  of  1907,  for  foals  of  1904,  will 
close  June  1st.  This  is  one  of  the  best  stakes  offered 
for  trotters  in  California  The  State  Agricultural 
Society  adds  $300  to  the  stake  and  the  amount  to  the 
first  horse  is  generally  id  the  neighborhood  of  $1000. 
The  total  entrance  fee  is  but  $50  with  easy  payments. 
Read  the  advertisement  in  this  issue  for  conditions. 


It  has  besn  figured  out  that  the  horse  that  goes  the 
entire  mile  out  in  third  position  travels  fifty  feet 
further  than  the  pole  horse. 


Rosalind  by  Stam  B.  out  of  an  Altamont  mare  is 
said  to  be  sdowing  great  speed  at  Djnver  where  she 
is  in  the  stable  of  M.  Hayes. 


Zombro  2:11  had  been  bred  to  37  mares  this  year  up 
to  May  1st.  He  was  bred  that  day  to  Belle  Patchen 
2:16  by  Atto  Bex,  dam  by  Mambrino  Patchen. 


The  Vaocouver  Jockey  Club  will  give  a  spring 
meeting  on  the  24th  and  27tn"  of  this  month.  There 
will  be  five  races  ttie  first  day  and  six  on  the  second. 
Purses  range  from  $75  to  $200. 


Among  tbe  horses  consigned  to  the  Chicago  sale  by 
Geo.  A.  Davis,  of  Pleasanton,  were  quite  a  numoer 
that  were  former  members  of  the  East  View  Farm 
string,  among  them  Mush  2:08}. 


Several  stallion  owners  in  Oregon  announce  that 
they  will  pay  tbe  entrance  fee  on  all  cults  and  fillies 
sired  by  their  horses  that  are  entered  in  the  $5000 
Oregon  Futurity.    This  is  commendable  enterprise. 

After  May  1st  MeKinney's  service  fee  will  be  raised 
to  $500.  It  is  said  that  the  demand  for  the  services  of 
this  stallion  are  so  great  that  Mr.  Simpson,  proprie- 
tor of  Empire  City  Farms,  has  taken  this  planto  keep 
them  within  limits.     

SoDOma  Girl  has  been  lame  for  several  weeks  this 
spring  but  her  owner  J.  D.  Springer  has  entered  her 
lc  the  California  Stake  for  2:24  class  trotters  at  the 
Breeders  mietiog.  If  she  gets  to  the  race  in  good 
condition  she  would  be  able  to  make  the  race  a  fast 
one.  

McPherson,  tbe  six-year-old  son  of  McKinney  2:11  J, 
out  of  that  truly  great  brjodmare,  Eveline  by  Nut- 
wood, has  been  consigned  to  the  Fasig-Tipton  Boston 
sale  which  is  to  be  held  May  22-27.  McPherson  was 
bred  and  Is  owned  by  Mr.  W.  H.  Lumsden,  of  Santa 
Rosa. 

Frank  S.  Turner,  proprietor  of  the  Santa  Rosa 
Stock  Farm  reports  tbe  following  recent  foals  by 
Sidney  Dillon:  Biscari  by  Director  has  a  bay  filly; 
By  By  by  Nu'.wood,  a  chestnut  filly ;  Viota  by  Vallota 
a  chestnut  Hlly;  Russie  Russell  by  Bay  Rose  a  chest-

Work  will  soon  be  commenced  on  the  new  driving 
park  and  fairgrounds  to  be  constructed  near  Watson- 
vllle.  All  the  lumber  necessary  for  the  grand  stands, 
stables,  etc.,  has  been  secured,  and  as  soon  as  the 
grading  Ib  finished  the  buildlDgs  will  be  put  up  in 
time  for  a  fair  this  year. 


The  handsome  mare  Mayola  by  Vallota,  that  Dan 
Misner  is  working  at  PleasantOD,  stepped  off  a  mile  in 
2:23  last  week  with  the  last  half  in  1:09  and  was  not 
half  trying.  It  is  a  pity  some  one  does  not  buy  this 
mare  and  race  her  as  her  owner  is  not  in  the  racing 
business.  She  is  such  a  handsome  and  stylish  mars, 
and  is  endowed  with  such  a  high  rate  of  speed  that 
she  would  attract  lots  of  attention  on  any  circuit. 


The  August  meetlDg  of  the  Breeders  Association, 
at  which  tbe  colt  stakes  and  all  purses  closed  May  1st 
will  be  decided,  has  not  yet  been  located.  It  wiil  be 
held  at  the  track  within  100  miles  of  San  Francisco 
offering  the  best  Inducements.  San  Jose  or  Santa 
Rosa  will  probably  be  the  place. 


One  or  two  car  loads  of  horses  w'll  probably  leave 
Pleasanton  for  Denver  next  week.  Ben  Cbaboya  will 
take  Tony  Bernal's  trotter  Major  Cook  and  J.  M. 
Alviso's  pacer  Rey  del  Diablo,  fl.  H.  Dunlap  will  go

A  new  record  for  Southern  sales  of  horses  by  auc- 
tion was  established  in  Tennessee  by  the  Roberts- 
Giltner  Co.  a  fortnight  ago  A  total  of  520  horses  of 
all  kinds  was  sold  at  an  average  of  some  cents  over 
$160,  the  highest  figure  paid  being  $490.  Almost  a 
week  was  consumed  in  holdiDg  tbe  sale  and  ttie  total 
transactions,  including  sales  at  auction  as  described 
and  at  private  treaty,  amounted  to  over  $100,000. 


At  the  third  annual  horse  sale  of  J.  L.  McCarthy  & 
Son,  held  at  Portland,  Oregon,  May  2nd  and  3rd, 
thirty  head  were  sold  on  the  first  day  at  an  average 
of  $172,  and  sixty-nine  head  on  the  second  day  at  an 
average  of  $192.  The  total  for  the  two  days  was  $18,- 
410.  The  highest  price  of  the  sale  was  $700  paid  for 
C.  Welby's  stallion  Yukon  2:14}  by  Bay  Bird.  The 
next  highest  price  was  $600  paid  for  a  three-year-old 
by  Zombro.

Last  week  Mi-.  A.  J.  Cassatt,  Chesterbrook  Farm, 
Brewyn,  Pa.,  had  the  misfortune  to  lose  by  death  his 
great  Hackney  stallion  Cadet.  The  stallion  had  been 
driven  but  a  short  time  before  and  it  was  supposed 
that  death  was  due  to  rupture  of  some  sort.  Cadet 
was  a  chestnut  horse,  standing  15.3  hands,  and  was 
imported  by  Mr.  Cassatt  many  years  ago,  in  fact  by 
far  the  greater  part  of  his  life  period  of  21  years  was 
spent  on  this  sido  of  the  water.

Two  additional  entries  to  the  stakes  for  the  Breed- 
ers August  meeting  were  received  by  Secretary 
Kelley  on  Tuesday  last,  just  eight  days  after  they  bad 
been  mailed  Tbey  were  from  Higgins  Bros  of  Mis-

and  other  delays  the  letter  was  eight  days  coming 
from  Missoula  to   San  Francisco. 


Geo.  H.  Ketcham,  who  bred,  educated  and  drove 
CresceuB  2:02}  to  bis  world's  record,  will  race  three 
Cresceu*  colts  of  bis  own  breeding.  They  are  CreBS- 
more  2:35},  Corrola  2:281  and  Creocia,  a  remarkably 
handsome  and  speedy  green  one.  All  are  chestnuts 
and  all  show  the  marked  characteristics  and  individu- 
ality of  their  sire-         

Guy  McKinney,  the  son  of  McKinney,  out  of  a  mare 
by  Guy  Wilkes,  second  dam  Blanch  Ward,  dam  of 
China  Maid  2:05}  by  Onward,  thiid  dam  by  Mam- 
brino Patchen,  has  made  a  good  season  this  year  aDd 
has  had  some  of  the  choicest  mares  in  Stanislaus  and 
San  Joaquin  counties.  He  is  one  of  the  best  bred 
stallions  in  America,  has  natural  speed  and  is  a  pro- 
ducer of  well  made  colts  of  good  color  and  disposition, 
with  fine  action  and  sp^ed.  As  soon  as  tbey  are  old 
enough  to  train  they  will  make  him  a  member  of  tbe 
Great  Table. 

Lady  Mowry,  tbe  four  year  old  mare  by  McKinney 
out  of  Electress  Wilkes  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  owned 
by  Mr.  J.  C  Mowry  of  Irvington,  Cal.,  is  showing  a 
very  high  rate  of  speed  this  year.  She  took  a  recoid 
of  2:28  last  year  as  a  three-year-old  and  has  been 
worked  again  this  spring  by  William  Cecil.  La6t 
week  Bhe  trotted  an  easy  half  in  l:05j  and  stepped 
the  last  quarter  in  31  seconds.  Lady  Mowry  is  a  good 
example  of  the  McKinney-Nutwood  Wilkes  cross 
which  has  produced  speed  every  time  it  has  been 
tried,  and  does  it  either  way. 

In  January  last,  G.  W.  Shipley,  of  Santa  Barbara, 
California,  made  a  shipment  of  Indian  ponieB  from 
Umatilla  county,  Oregon,  to  his  Shetland  pony  farm, 
tbe  purpose  being  to  use  the  mares  for  breeding  pur- 
poses, they  to  be  crossed  with  Shetland  stallions. 
Mr.  Shipley  has  returned  to  Pendleton  for  more  of 
tbe  very  smallest  pinto  ponies  to  be  found.  He  will 
get  thirty  spotted  ponies  this  time.  He  says  the 
Umatilla  ponies  prove  to  be  tbe  most  docile  animals 
of  that  class  ever  handled  by  bim  and  the  trade 
promises  to  be  one  of  the  important  developments  of 
tbe  future. 

Many  of  our  readers  will  remember  the  chestnut 
mare  Belle  by  Melbourne  King  1962  out  of  Mattie  by 
All  Right  5817,  that  was  raced  on  the  California  Cir- 
cuit nine  or  ten  years  ago  and  took  a  record  of  2:11  at 
Los  Angeles  in  tbe  fourth  and  fifth  heats  of  a  mixed 
race  where  she  beat  Hazel  H.,  Toggles,  Frank  L  and 
Atlas.  Belle  and  Hazel  H.  were  pacers,  the  otbers 
trotters  and  it  was  a  five  heat  affair.  Belle  was  after- 
wards bred  to  Conn's  Harry  Wilkes  and  produced  a 
filly,  arid  this  filly  vs.?  bred  to  Wayland  W.  and  is 
the  dam  of  Bolivar  2:20  now  in  East  Vi6W  Farm  string 
and  supposed  to  be  one  of  the  best  of  tbe  entire  string. 

John  Quinn,  of  Santa  Rosa,  who  has  been  working 
a  string  of  horses  at  Pleasanton,  has  returned  home 
with  them  as  he  thinks  no  track  is  better  than  the 
one  at  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  after  tbe  first  of 
May  Those  in  his  string  are  Wilmar  by  Wildnut,  a 
very  promising  young  trotter,  R.  W.  P.  by  LiDwood 
W.  that  was  raced  last  year,  Ayeress,  a  filly  by  Lin- 
wood  W.  out  of  May  AyerB,  sister  to  Jasper  Ayers 
2:09,  and  two  others  that  are  green  but  know  ec roe- 
thing  about  speed.  Mr.  Quinn  will  be  out  on  the 
circuit  thiB  year  with  some  of  tbese  horses,  several  of 
them  being  already  entered  for  the  Breeders'  August 
meeting.  

The  stallion  Nocturno  33,413  by  Alfonso,  that 
"Pap"  Mushier  is  working  at  Los  Angelf  s,  is  showing 
considerable  speed.  It  is  only  during  the  past  few 
weeks  that  Mr  Mosier  has  given  bim  any  miles  and 
he  recently  let  him  trot  one  in  2:28$  with  the  last  half 
in  1:13  and  the  laBt  quarter  at  a  2:24  gait.  Nocturno 
is  not  only  a  handsome  horse,  but  is  royally  bred,  and 
Mr.  Mosier  Intend b  to  give  bim  a  record  in  July  and 
then  take  him  north.  He  is  owned  by  Mr.  G.  A. 
Westgate,  editor  of  the  Albany,  Oregon,  Herald, 
who  will  place  Nocturno  in  the  stud  next  season.  Mr. 
Westgate  was  formerly  a  director  of  the  Oregon  State 
Fair,  and  runs  a  big  printing  plant  in  conjunction 
with  his  newspaper  office.  The  very  handsome  cala- 
logue  of  the  McCarthy  Spring  Sale  at  Portland  was 
from  the  press  of  the  Herald. 


Mr.  Rudolph  Spreckels  intends  to  erect  a  handsome 
country  house  or  the  site  of  the  one  burned  down  last 
year  at  his  beautiful  country  seat  Sobre  Vista  in 
Sonoma  valley.  Is  Ib  at  this  piace  Mr.  Spreckels  has 
established  bis  farm  for  the  breeding  of  polo  and 
racing  ponies.  The  stallion  Royal  Flush  has  been 
plaoed  at  tbe  head  of  the  stud  and  two  dozen  or  more 
sm  ill  thoroughbred  mares  of  royal  breeding  are  being 
mated  with  him  this  year.  Sobre  Vista  is  one  of  the 
most  picturesque  places  in  California. 


Queen  C.  2:28$  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16$,  dam 
Queen  by  Venture  2:27},  thoroughbied  sire  of  the 
dam  of  Directum  2:05},  foaled  a  chestnut  colt  by  Kin- 
ney Lou  2:07|  April  24th  Martin  Carter,  proprietor 
of  the  Nutwood  Stock  Farm,  and  owner  of  the  colt, 
says  that  it  is  a  very  handsome  youngster,  stout  and 
large,  but  fine  and  very  active.  It  is  closely  related 
to  as  much  speed  as  any  colt  foaled  this  year  in  Cali- 
fornia, as  its  sire  is  the  fastest  entire  son  of  the  great 
McKinney,  sire  of  Sweet  Marie  2:04}  tbe  fastest  trot- 
ting mare  of  the  Wilkes  tribe,  while  the  sire  of  its 
dam  sired  John  A.  McKerron,  the  fastest  trotting 
stallion  of  all  the  Wilkeses,  and  tbe  sire  of  its  second 
dam  sired  the  dam  of  Directum  2:05}  tbe  fastest  trot- 
ting stallion  of  the  famous  Director  family.  That's 
pretty  close  relationship  to  three  of  the  best  trotters 
ever  raced.  

Jas.  Creelman  in  Everybody's  Magazine  tells  of  the 
many  wonderful  things  that  1'hos.  W.  Lawson  author 
of  Frenzied  Finance  has  done  in  the  trotting  hoise 
industry  and  as  an  all  around  sportsman.  And  the 
following  from  Mr  Creelman  reads  as  if  it  was  worth 
printing:  "He  has  a  600-acre  farm  on  CapeCod,  with 
seven  miles  of  fenceB.  tbree  hundred  borBee,  each  one 
of  whom  he  can  call  by  name;  a  hundred  and  fifty  dogs 
and  a  building  for  training  bis  animals  larger  than 
Madison  Square  Garden'  He  built  the  yacht  Inde- 
pendence at  a  cost  of  $200,000  and  when  it  was  shut 
out  smilingly  threw  it  on  the  scrap  heap.  He  estab- 
lished a  great  raoing  stable,  and  when  tired  cf  playing 
with  it  broke  it  up.  He  went  to  Kentucky  and  the 
dav  bpfore  a  great  trotting  race  bought  Boralma  for 
$17  000  His  pride  was  aroused  by  the  fart  that  the 
betting  was  against  bis  borse  He  gave  $104,000  to  a 
friend  to  sustain  Boralma's  reputation  in  the  betting 
and  won  $92,000.

Daisy  Nutwood  Bred  to  Bonnie  Direct. 


Daisy  Nutwood  by  Nutwood,  dam  Ruth  Add  by 
Belle  Alta;  second  dam  GeDe  by  Bostoo  Boy;  third 
dam  Emma  by  Geoeral  Taylor  has  been  sent  to  Pleas- 
anton  to  be  bred  to  Bonnie  Direct  2:05}.  Every  thing 
considered  Daisy  Nutwood  is  one  of  the  greatest 
broodmares  in  the  world.  When  we  consider  Nut- 
wood being  the  champion  broodmare  sire  and  also 
the  champioD  sire  of  mares  that  have  produced  2:10 
performers,  aDd  then  to  consider  that  Daisy  Nutwood 
has  produced  one  of  the  fastest  and  the  greatest  tr>.  ti- 
ters that  any  of  the  Nutwood  mares  have  produced 
in  Consuella  S.  2:07J,  winner  of  the  $15,000  Massa- 
chusetts Stake,  the  richest  stake  of  1904,  that  is  also 
the  fastest  trotter  the  great  Directum  2:05}  has  sired. 
She  has  also  produced  Ella  H.  that  could  trot  in 
2:10  or  better  and  Eva  G.  that  trotted  trials  in  2:16 
and  was  a  two-year-old  colt  winner,  winning  the  twe- 
year-old  stake  at  Petaluma.  Daisy  Nutwood  is  own 
sister  to  Harry  Slocum,  who  was  the  fastest  gelding 
io  California  iD  1889.  He  worked  miles  better  than 
2:15  tn  high  wheel  sulky;  also  own  sister  to  Luella, 
the  dam  of  Prince  N atwood  2:12},  the  fastest  stallion 
sired  by  Dexter  Prince  winner  of  the  three-year-old 
pace  at  San  Jose  in  1894,  a  race  that  took  six  heats  to 
decide.  Luella  is  also  the  dam  of  Myrtle  2:13£  the 
greatest  three-year-old  in  California  in  1891.  Myrtle 
IB  the  dam  of  Robizola  2:12}  and  a  fast  three-year-old 
sired  by  Bonnie  Direct  that  has  already  shown  a  2:10 
gait. 

T.  F.  Kiernan  of  Modesto  owner  of  Daisy  Nutwood 
has  four  very  promising  colts  from  Daisy  Nutwood, 
one  by  Vasto  2:16}  the  other  three  by  his  fast  stallion 
Pacheco  W.,  a  son  of  Guy  Wilkes.  Mr.  Kiernan  con- 
cluded to  select  the  beBt  stallion  in  California  to 
breed  Daisy  Nutwood  to,  and  us  the  Direct  cross  Is 
considered  the  golden  cross,  Mr.  Kiernan  has  surely 
made  a  good  selection.  F.  Haney. 

Which  Is  It? 


When  Little  Buttercup  -'mixed  those  babies  up 
and  not  a  creature  knew  it,"  she  did  not  make  any i 
worse  complication  than  haB  come  up  over  the 
identity  of  the  fast  pacer  that  Chas.  DeRyder  had  in 
the  East  View  Farm  string  this  winter,  and  worked 
an  eighth  in  13}  seconds  but  left  with  Sutherland  & 
Chadbourne  when  the  farm's  racing  striDg  was 
shipped  East  last  week.  The  question  is  whether  the 
horse  is  Alford  D.  2:12}  or  Alford  C.  2:12J.  Both 
horses  (if  there  are  two)  belonged  to  the  late  A.  C. 
Dietz  and  are  black  geldings  by  Longworth.  Marsh 
Thompson,  of  Ventura,  writes  us  asking  which  horse 
is  the  one  De  Ryder  has  been  training  at  Pleasanton. 
Thompson  says  he  bought  Alford  D.  from  Mr.  Dietz 
gave  him  his  mark  of  2:12}  at  Oxnard  against  Wel- 
come Mack,  Alford  C.  and  others  and  then  sold  him 
back  to  Mr.  Dtetz.  He  now  waots  to  know  whether 
the  horse  at  Pleasanton  is  Alford  C.  or  Alford  D. 
We  confess  that  we  do  not  kDow  but  our  impression 
is  that  it  is  Alford  C.  We  will  try  to  straighten  the 
matter  out  before  our  next  issue.  In  the,  Year  Book 
Alford  D.  is  credited  with  a  mark  of  2:12}  at  Oxnard 
in  1902,  and  Alford  C.  one  of  2:12£  at  Sacramento  the 
same  year — these  records  in  the  summaries.  In  the 
table  of  new  2:25  pacers  for  1902  Alford  C.  is  the  ooly 
one  that  appears,  and  his  mark  is  there  given  as  2:12} 
instead  of  2:I2£  In  the  Year  Book  of  1903  Alford  D  's 
name  appears  in  the  table  of  2:25  pacers,  as  having 
made  a  record  of  2:12}  the  previous  year  in  Sacra- 
mento. Are  there  two  horses  or  only  one  with  the 
initial  in  his  name  sometimes  printed  D.  and  at  other 
times  C?    Who  can  untangle  this  mix-up? 


What  Kin  to  Lou  Dillon? 


A  letter  received  last  Saturday  from  Frank  S.  Tur- 
ner, proprietor  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm,  stateB 
that  he  has  bred  Lou  Milton,  dam  of  Lou  Dillon  1:58$ 
and  three  more  in  the  list  to  his  young  stallion  Judge 
Dillon  38.993,  son  of  Sidney  Dillon  and  the  great 
broodmare  Eveline,  dam  of  Ole  2:11,  Roblet  2:12,  etc., 
by  Nutwood  and  he  believes  her  to  be  in  foal.  Mr. 
Turner  says  he  would  like  to  know  "what  kin  the 
foal,  if  she  has  one,  will  be  to  Lou  Dillon?"  That's  a 
hard  one  to  answer.  Being  out  of  the  same  mare  by 
a  different  sire  it  would  behalf  brother  or  sister,  as 
the  case  may  be,  but  as  the  sires  are  father  and  sod, 
the  relationship  will  be  still  closer,  but  we  do  Dot  be- 
lieve aDy  name  has  yet  been  devised  to  fit  the  case. 
The  foals  would  have  the  same  relationship  to  one 
another  that  Alma  Mater's  sons  Alcantara  and  Al- 
fonso do,  as  the  former  is  by  George  Wilkes  and  the 
latter  by  Baron  Wilkes,  a  son  of  George  Wilkes.  We 
hope  Lou  Milton  may  produce  a  foal  from  tbismatiDg, 
and  look  for  it  to  be  a  trotter  with  as  much  speed  aw 
the  champion  mare. 


Big  Demand  for  Shetlands. 

The  Shetland  pony  has  assumed  the  importance  of 
a  feature  of  the  largest  horse  market  in  the  world.  A 
recent  Chicago  market  review  slated  that  "a  special 
feature  of  the  receipts  was  the  liberal  arrivals  of 
Shetland  ponies  which  met  with  an  active  demand, 
the  bulk  being  taken  by  outside  dealers,  principally 
New  York  and  Philadelphia  operators."  This  public 
comment  confirms  numerous  private  reports  to  the 
effect  that  never  before  has  there  been  such  a  wide- 
spread insistent  demand  for  Shetland  ponies,  and 
never  have  transfers  among  breeders  been  on  so  large 
a  scale  and  sales  of  single  animale  and  pairs  so  numer- 
ous and  at  such  high  prices.  The  Shetland  pony  is  a 
luxury.  He  is  not  a  necessity  except  for  mine  work, 
and  of  course  the  trade  has  been  favorably  affected  to 
some  degree  by  the  demand  for  ponies  for  hauliDg 
cars  of  coal  in  mine  levels.  But  the  greater  demand 
comes  from  the  families  of  the  well-to-do  who  appre- 
ciate the  pleasure  a  pony  will  confer  on  children  and 
the  educational  value  that  a  child  may  derive  from 
the  use  of  such  a  pet. 

Details  of  the  preseot  public  market  Id  this  city  are 
very  interesting  Arrivals  aggregate  from  20  to  25 
per  week — a  small  number  compared  with  the  large 
receipts  of  horses  and  yet  nevertheless  very  significant 
of  the  growth  in  popularity  of  these  yaluable  ponies. 
Almost  any  kind  of  a  Shetland,  or  pony  beariDg  that 
Btamp,  brings  at  least  $85,  while  range-br-  d  ponies 
aod  other  such  types  may  sometimes  be  picked  up  at 
arouDd  $35.  It  is  oeedless  to  say  that  pooies  at  this 
low  price  caD  not  be  expected  to  have  much  beauty  of 
form  or  education.  It  requires  from  $100  to  $125  to 
get  what  may  be  called  "the  making  of  a  good  Shet- 
land" when  thoroughly  broken  to  haroess  and  saddle, 
while  fancy  prices  are  bid  for  ponies  that  are  strictly 
in  the  class  of  child's  pony.  This  means  that  the 
disposition  is  absolutely  reliable  and  the  education 
complete.  Comparatively  few  of  this  class  are  on  the 
market.  Nearly  all  breeders  and  dealers  report  that 
they  are  wholly  unable  to  supply  the  demand  this 
spring  for  finished  ponies,  ready  to  go  to  work.  A 
good  looking  Shetland,  guaranteed  absolutely  safe 
and  well  trained  for  the  use  of  children  will  bring  $200 
to  $250  on  the  Chicago  market  today.  And  the  smaller 
the  pony,  other  things  being  equal,  the  larger  the 
price. — The  Breeders'  Gazette.

A  Worthy  and  Humane  Charity. 

A  little  booklet  from  Red  Acre  Farm,  a  charity 
home  and  hospital  for  horses  at  Stow,  Mass.,  shows 
the  good  work  that  establishment  is  doing.  Red  Acre 
Farm  is  owned  by  Miss  H.  G.  Bird,  who  contributes 
its  use,  rent,  taxes  and  repairs  free  to  the  purpose  for 
which  it  is  now  beiDg  used.  The  money  to  keep  the 
farm  going  is  dooated  by  people  who  are  in  sympathy 
with  the  work  and  the  list  of  donors  last  year  contains 
nearly  109  names.  From  the  report  of  the  advisory 
board,  the  work  of  this  charitable  et-terprise  is  admir- 
ably outlined  as  follows:  "Red  Acre  Farm,  a  Chari- 
table Home  for  horses,  opened  on  May  8,  1903,  with 
0D6  old  black  horse.  Others  were  soon  added,  until 
oq  June  24th  there  were  fourteen  horses  at  the  faim. 
During  the  present  year  the  average  has  been  twelve. 
Some  of  the  horses  have  been  sent  by  their  owners, 
others  have  been  received  from  humane  persons  by 
whom  they  were  bought  or  otherwise  rescued  from 
Buffering  or  ill-treatment. 

Also,  during  the  winter  many  miserable  creatures, 
old  and  incurably  ill,  have  been  purchased  from  junk 
dealers,  farmers  and  others  by  the  Red  Acre  Farm 
agent.  These  have  been  mercifully  killed  either  at 
the  Farm  or,  when  possible,  wherever  they. have  been 
found.  Of  the  134  horses  received  at  the  Farm, 
Beventy-eight  were  incurable  sufferers  and  have  been 
killed.  The  remainder  have  been  restored  by  rest 
and  treatment  to  a  good  condition.  Some  have  been 
returned  to  their  owners',  some  have  been  loaned.  No 
horses  have  been  sold  by  the  Farm."  Those  who  are 
lovers  of  the  horse  will  be  glad  to  learn  that  In  at 
least  one  locality  an  effort  is  being  made  to  provide 
shelter,  food  and  treatment  or  release  by  death  for 
Buch  cases  of  abuse,  overwork  and  injury  as  seem  to 
call  for  something  of  the  kind.  —  Horse  World.

bought  last  fall  and  he  has  not  tried  to  do  much  with 
him  ye',  but  the  horse  can  step  very  fast  and  seems 
to  be  much  steadier  than  be  was  in  his  races  in  this 
oountry  last  season. 


Riverside,  Cal  ■  May  10,  1905. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman:  — I  am  a  member  of 
the  Riverside  Driving  Club  and  a  trainer  and  driver 
of  horses,  and  beiDg  a  conataDt  and  interested  reader 
of  your  very  valuable  weekly  paper,  I  would  like  to 
ask  you  a  questioo. 

A  dispute  has  arisen  in  club  circles  here  as  to  who 
are  aod  who  are  Dot  professiooal  trainers  aDd  drivers. 
Will  you  kindly  state  for  our  information  just  what 
constitutes  a  professiooal,  and  lo  what  extent  a  man 
may  train  or  drive  a  horse  and  still  not  be  a  pro- 
fessional. 

The  Driviog  Club  is  holding  matinee  races  here 
May  20th  and  it  is  desired  to  settle  this  question  be- 
fore that  time. 

ThankiDg  you  iD  advaoce  for  an  early  reply,  I  am, 
Yours  respectfully, 

D.   McKenzie. 

The  rules  of  the  League  of  Amateur  Driviog  ulubs 
of  America  provide  as  follows:  "Ad  amateur  is  defined 
as  a  man  who  has  not  accepted  wages  or  hire  for  hiB 
services  as  a  trainer  or  driver.  ADy  iodividual  club 
member  who  competes  for  a  purse,  or  agaiDst  pro- 
fessionals, except  iD  such  evenls  as  are  especially 
arranged  for  amateurs,  shall  forfeit  his  amateur 
BtaudiDg." 

Sell  When  Prices  Are  High. 

Here's  some  pretty  good  advice  from  the  Breeders 
Gazette  of  Chicago,  the  best  authority  on  the  condi- 
tion of  the  market  for  farm  animals  io  tho  United 
States: 

"With  horses  it  is  the  same  as  with  all  other  sorts 
of  live  stock  among  American  breeders.  On  a  rising 
market,  or  eveo  when  prices  are  stationary  and  high, 
there  is  a  marked  dibincliDatioo  to  sell  at  any  tort  of  a 
good  price,  whereas  wheo  the  top  has  been  reached 
and  the  down  grade  is  being  traversed  everyone  seems 
demented  to  throw  over  his  holdings  and  help  prices 
still  farther  down  the  hill.  Horses  are  very  high  just 
at  this  time.  No  one  seems  to  know  whether  there  is 
a  surplus  or  a  scarcity.  Diligent  inquiry  does  not 
develop  that  there  is  any  great  flood  of  matured 
animals  to  be  sold  during  the  rest  of  this  season  and 
.the  next.  It  is  even  hard  to  find  where  there  are  any 
good  mares.  It  is  a  safe  proposition  that  if  the  good 
mares  have  been  let-  go  off  the  farm  the  supply  of 
their  kind  cannot  increase  very  greatly.  Biwever, 
we  think  that  horses  are  high  enough  to  permit  the 
grower  to  make  a  very  substantial  profit.  It  is  not 
the  time  to  hold  them  back  seeking  for  more  moDey 
for  them  providiDg  a  good  offer  is  made.  It  is  a  fact 
that  prices  in  the  Western  breediDg  districts  set  m 
pheoomeDally  high  to  Eastern  users,  some  of  whom 
have,  according  to  their  own  statements,  reached 
their  price  limit  and  if  they  have  to  pay  more  will 
Bimply  do  without  or  rub  aloDg  the  best  they  can  with 
what  they  have  on  hand  No  doubt  the  farmers  of 
the  corn-belt  are  using  more  horses  this  year  than 
they  ever  did  and  the  call  from  the  urbau  districts  is 
greater  than  in  any  previous  year,  but  it  is  a  good 
maxim  to  let  well  enougb  alone  and  those  who  have 
horses  of  salable  age  to  sell  will  do  well  to  lpt  them  go 
along  to  market  whenever  they  are  in  suitable  flesh. 

In  canvassing  the  proposed  changes  in  racing  con- 
ditions not  a  few  managers  have  been  impressed  with 
the  fact  that  the  present  division  of  the  purse  is  not  an 
Ideal  one  says  an  Eastern  paper.  The  opinion  is  grow- 
ing that  the  purse  should  be  diyided  into  but  three 
sections  and  that  the  bulk  of  money  should  go  to  the 
wiooer  of  the  race.  In  the  average  discussions  look- 
ing for  methods  by  means  of  which  the  laying-up  of 
heats  can  be  prevented  too  little  attention  has  been 
paid  to  such  a  simple  expedient  as  to  give  the  winner 
65  or  70  per  cent  of  the  purse.  Under  the  present 
methodB  the  driver  of  the  best  horse  does  not  receive 
so  large  a  sum  that  he  is  not  willing  to  listen  to  argu- 
ments from  the  man  anxious  to  win,  espi  cially  if  the 
driver  wishes  to  escape  a  record  or  save  bis  horse  for 
next  year's  stakes.  There  are  many  arguments  in 
favor  of  the  best  horse  gettiDg  the  lion's  share  of  the 
purse  and  mighty  few  why  the  purse  money  should 
be  so  distributed  that  three-fourths  of  the  horses  in 
the  race  win  a  little  more  than  the  entrance  fte.  In 
the  discussioos  relating  to  the  eo-callt  d  oovelty  raceB 
Dot  a  few  of  the  drivers  have  advocated  the  abolition 
of  four  mooeys  to  a  race,  and  many  of  the  track  own- 
ers have  been  impressed  with  the  justice  of  the  plea. 


The  White  McMurrays  Are  Popular. 

M.  J.  Reams,  of  Dixon,  has  just  received  from  the 
KeDDey  Manufacturing  Company,  531  Valencia  street, 
one  of  those  beautiful  white  McMurray  bikes  which 
he  will  bitch  to  his  handsome  black  trotter  Ray  Ben- 
nett when  be  starts  him  in  the  races  this  year  Mr. 
Whaley,  of  Tulare,  also  bought,  a  white  McMurray

eleven  of  them  are  McMurrays.

[May  13,  1905 


Board  of   Appeals,  N.    T.    A  ,    Pacific   District.        Trick  Horse  Trainers  Must  Have  Patience. 


A  meeting  of  the  Pacific  District  Board  of  Appeals 
of  the  National  Trotting  Association  was  held  at  the 
office  ol  Secretary  F.  W.  Kelley,  36  Geary  street,  San 
Francisco,  Wednesday  of  this  week.  The  rnembers 
present  were  Messrs.  A.  B.  Spreckels  and  J.  C.  Kirk- 
patriek. 

The  only  case  before  the  Board  was  the  protest  of 
E.  A  Servis  8nd  others  against  J.  D.  Springer  owner 
of  Billy  Red  winner  of  second  money  in  the  Pacific 
Slope  Stake,  $1500  for  2:20  class  pacers  at  the  meeilog 
of  tbe  Breeders  Association  at  San  Jose  last  year. 
Martin  Carter  had  originally  nominated  Miss  Georgie 
in  this  stake,  but  after  selliDg  that  mare,  transferred 
the  nomination  to  Mr.  Springer  who  named  Billy  Red, 
under  the  condition  which  read  as  follows: 

Substitutions— In  all  of  the  above  stakes,  except  the 
Futurity  Stakes,  on  August  1,  1904,  nominators,  by 
the  payment  of  an  additional  2  per  cent  have  the 
right  of  transferring  tbe;>-  entry  or  substituting 
another  horse  eligible  to  the  class  in  place  of  the  one 
naoied  in  the  original  entry. 

Billy  Red  won  a  race  at  Pleasanton,  July  27th,  taking 
a  record  of  2:12*.  He  started  August  3d  in  tte 
Pacific  Slope  Stake  won  by  Rajah  and  got 
second  money.  Mr.  Servis'  horse  Dr.  J.  being 
third,  Mr.  Croner's  Hattie  Croner  fourth,  and  all 
the  others  distanced.  The  protest  was  made  on 
the  ground  that  BUly  Red  was  not  eligible  to  the  race 
on  August  1st,  the  date  given  on  which  substitutions 
could  be  made,  as  his  record  of  2:121  was  made  July 
27th.  Mr.  Sprioger  argued  that  his  substitution 
stood  in  the  same  position  as  the  original  entry. 
The  Board  agreed  with  him  and  denied  the  protest, 
holding  that  Mr.  Springer's  horse  was  eligible  to 
start  io  the  race. 

The  case  of  C.  A.  Durfee  and  others  against  the 
State  Agricultural  Society  was  withdrawn  as  the 
association  has  paid  its  purses  and  stakes. 

An  Early  Life  Incident  of  John  Splan. 

"If  the  late  Mr.  C.  J.  Hamlin  had  horsewhipped  me, 
I  would  not  have  felt  so  badly.  I  have  never  forgotten 
bis  kindly  words,  and  the  experience  of  that  night  at 
the  Red  Jacket  Hotel  has  been  a  wise  teacher  to  me." 

Thus  spoke  John  Splan,  the  noted  veteran  of  the 
Grand  Circuit,  during  a  pleasant  chat  one  evening. 
Back  in  the  '60s  young  Splan  worked  for  Mr.  Hamlin 
in  his  private  stable,  Franklin  street,  Buffalo,  and  a 
big-hearted  Irishman  named  Maher  was  coachman 
and  barn  boss. 

"It  was  our  custom  to  go  to  dances  twice  or  three 
times  a  week,"  continued  the  famous  knight  of  the 
sulky,  who  piloted  Rjrus  2:13}  to  the  world's  trotting 
record  over  the  Buffalo  track  nearly  a  quarter  of  a 
century  ago,  and  gave  Johnson  2:06}  the  high  wheel 
sulky  mark  at  Washington  Park,  Chicago,  shortly 
afterwards. 

"Tbe  Red  Jacket  Hotel,  a  favorite  resort  in  the 
suburbs  of  the  city,  named  in  honor  of  a  renowned 
Indian  chieftain,  and  where  the  belles  and  beaux  as- 
sembled frequently,  and  Maher  and  I  were  alwayB 
there  to  trip  the  light  fantastic  with  the  girls. 

"We  used  to  lake  Mr.  Hamlin's  favorite  roadster,  a 
Royal  George  mare,  and  drive  out  to  the  Red  Jacket, 
unbeknown  to  bim.  On  tbe  night  in  question,  Maher 
imbibed  so  much  redeye  that  I  could  hardly  get  him 
into  tbe  buggy  to  go  home,  and  by  tbe  time  we  ar_ 
rived  at  tbe  Franklin-street  stable  at  4  o'clock  in  the 
morning,  be  was  asleep  and  dead  to  the  world.  At 
Drst  I  did  not  know  what  to  do  with  him.  Finally,  I 
managed  to  lift  bim  out  of  the  vehicle,  and  laid  him 
in  the  office  and  harness-room  on  a  pile  of  blankets. 
Maher  was  a  big  man,  and  I  had  a  tough  job  of  it  I 
Cin  assure  you. 

"It  was  pitch  dark,  and  I  lit  the  gas  to  put  out  the 
horse.  Lo,  and  behold!  There  Bat  Mr.  C.  J.  Hamlin 
in  a  chair,  clad  In  an  overcoat,  and  although  no  doubt 
very  mad  earlier  in  the  night,  he  was  so  amused  over 
my  laying  out  Maher  that  he  looked  at  me,  shivering 
with  fright  and  said: 

"  'You  did  well,  my  boy;  now  go  to  bed.  I  thought 
I  would  stay  up  and  put  out  tbe  horse  for  you  and 
Maber.' 

"I  stammered  out  that  I  was  all  right,  and  would 
do  that,  whereupon  tbe  Napoleon  of  the  horse  king- 
dom went  into  the  bouse 

"Bet  your  life  I  stayed  up  and  cleaned  the  stable 
and  horses  that  morning  as  never  before.  It  was  one 
of  my  duties  to  take  Mr.  Humlin  down  town  to  bis 
office  with  the  Royal  Georgo  mare  at  9  o'clock  to  the 
minute,  every  forenoon. 

"When  be  jumped  Into  tbe  light  Brewster  carriage 
and  took  tbe  reins  (ho  always  drove,  and  very  fast, 
too)  I  told  bim  I  was  sorry  for  what  occurred,  and 
that  It  would  never  happen  again. 

■ -N.'vor  mind   tbe  past,  young   man,'   he  replied. 
■But  '-)ok   out  In   tbe  future.    It  Is  better  to  ask  and 
receive,  than  to  steal  and  gel  caught.'  "—Jxnl

"What  qualifications  must  a  trainer  possess  before 
he  can  successfully  educate  horses  to  do  the  tricks 
seen  in  a  circus?"  This  question  was  put  to  one  of 
the  expert  horse  trainers  at  the  Sells-Forepaugh 
circus  headquarters.  "Kindness  and  preservance.  He 
must  also  be  a  good  judge  of  horse  nature  and  possess 
an  unlimited  stock  of  patience;  more  patience  than  is 
usually  attributed  to  a  nurse  in  a  children's  home." 
The  trainer  continued:  "A  horse  is  like  a  child.  He 
appreciates  kind  treatment  and  rapidly  learns  to  love 
the  attendants  who  greet  him  with  pleasant  words 
and  a  caressing  pat.  From  the  time  you  impress  upon 
a  horse  that  you  are  his  friend  he  will  make  every 
possible  effort,  in  his  dumb  way,  to  show  his  appre- 
ciation, and  in  nine  cases  out  of  ten  prove  to  be  a  will- 
ing pupil  when  you  begin  to  educate  him. 

Bud  Gorman,  one  of  toe  Forepaugh-Sells  veterans 
who  has  been  educating  horses  during  the  winter 
months  at  the  circus  quarters,  selects  his  horEes  w'th 
as  much  care  as  a  society  woman  plans  a  party  gown. 
The  candidate  must  be  handsome  in  color,  as  near 
perfect  as  possible  in  conformation,  and  possess  an 
even  temperament.  His  eyes  must  be  large  and  devoid 
of  the  least  trace  of  viciousness;  he  must  hold  his  ears 
pointed  slightly  forward,  and  he  must  have  a  sensible 
looking  head,  broad  between  the  eyes.  Horses  who 
lay  back  their  ears  at  the  approach  of  a  man  who  nip 
viciously  at  every  passer-by,  and  whose  eyes  plainly 
demonstrate  a  mean  disposition,  are  discarded.  A 
trainer  will  not  handle  an  animal  of  this  kind. 

Once  the  candidate  is  selected  he  is  shipped  to  the 
winter  quarters  of  the  circus  and  assigned  to  a  com- 
fortable stall  in  a  large,  clean,  well-ventilated  barn 
tenanted  by  several  hundred  beauties  of  this  kind. 
Good  hay  and  oats  are  his  in  abundance,  and  for 
several  days  he  is  allowed  to  rest  and  become  familiar 
with  his  surroundings.  The  trainer  visits  him  daily 
and  by  speaking  kindly  and  occasionally  giving  tbe 
animal  a  bit  of  sugar,  gains  his  confidence.  After  a 
time  the  horse  begins  to  whinny  at  the  approach  of 
tbe  trainer,  and  the  bond  of  friendship  is  thus  quickly 
oemented. 

Then  comes  the  first  lessou.  The  candidate  is  in- 
troduced to  the  training  ring  constructed  near  the 
barn  and  allowed  to  wander  about  at  will.  He  smells 
the  sawdust,  the  pedestals,  and  the  harness  and  ropes 
that  will  soon  be  buckled  about  his  body  and  then 
horse-like  lies  down  in  the  center  of  the  ring  and  en- 
joys a  good  roll. 

Next  day  he  is  lead  around  and  around  the  ring  for 
several  hours  and  soon  understands  that  he  is  ex- 
pected to  encircle  the  ring  of  his  own  accord.  Then  a 
strap  is  placed  around  his  right  foreleg,  and  from  this 
strap  a  rope  is  run  through  the  harness  and  fastened 
around  his  body.  The  trainer  grasps  the  free  end  of 
the  rope  in  one  hand  and  a  pair  of  lines  attached  to 
the  horse's  bridle  in  the  other.  The  animal  is  told  to 
'get  up,'  and  after  the  ring  is  enciroled  a  few  times  the 
command  'whoa'  is  given.  If  the  horse  refuses  to 
obey,  a  quick  pull  on  the  rope  draws  his  legs  from 
under  him  and  he  IB  forced  to  stop.  Only  a  few 
demonstrations  of  this  kind  are  necessary  to  show  the 
horse  that  he  must  stop  when  the  command  is  given. 
After  these  preliminaries  are  satisfactorily  accom- 
plished the  equine  pupil  is  taught  to  kneel  first  on  one 
knee,  then  on  the  other,  and  finally  on  both.  All  this 
is  accomplished  by  drawing  up  the  front  legs  one  at  a 
time,  thus  forcing  him  down.  His  knees  are  padded 
to  prevedt  injury,  and  every  time  he  is  forced  down 
the  command  to  kneel  is  given  and  the  animal  is 
pstted  and  reassured  with  kind  words,  until  finally  he 
kneels  at  the  word. 

It  is  in  these  preliminary  lessons  that  a  good  per- 
former is  made — or  spoiled.  The  instructor  must  be 
firm  and  resolute,  but  kind,  always  kind.  A  horse  is 
like  a  child— you  may  coax  him,  but  you  can't  force 
him  without  spoiling  his  disposition.  The  anima' 
quickly  notices  any  show  of  ill  temper  or  roughness 
on  the  part  of  the  instructor  and  resents  it  by  becom- 
ing balky  and  obstinate.  Blows  or  harsh  punishment 
only  make  him  worse.  You  frequently  hear  people  at 
a  circus  assert  that  animals  are  beaten  into  submis- 
sion in  teaching  them  tricks.  People  who  say  this 
never  saw  the  inside  of  the  training  quarters  of  a 
modern  circus,  In  the  olden  times  there  was  a  great 
deal  of  brute  force  used,  but  it  was  because  the  owners 
and  trainers  didn't  know  any  better.  A  horse  or  any 
other  animal  conquered  in  this  way  is  never  reliable 
and  is  apt  to  spoil  a  performance  by  an  outbreak  of 
bad  temper,  besides  being  dangerous  to  handle.  As 
soon  as  it  was  found  that  the  education  of  a  horse  may 
be  accomplished  more  quickly  and  with  better  results 
by  kindness  than  by  brute  force,  the  latter  method 
was  shelved. 

"The  next  lesson  Is  the  art  of  lying  down  and  re- 
maining motionless  until  the  word  is  given  to  ri6e. 
This  Information  Is  imparted  to  the  horse  in  a  manner 
similar  to  the  kneeling  lesson.    An  ingenious  harness 


makes  it  possible  for  the  trainer  to  draw  the  horse 
down  on  a  soft  bed  of  hay  without  irjuring  him. 
When  the  horse  willingly  lies  down  at  the  word  of 
command,  he  is  taught  to  sit  upon  his  haunches  and 
then  is  gradually  drilled  into  the  other  tricks  that 
always  draw  applause  from  children  and  adults  alike. 
"It  is  usually  an  easy  matter  to  teach  a  horse  to 
stand  upon  a  pedestal,  to  waltz,  rear  on  his  hind  legs 
and  march  in  unison  with  equine  companions,  after 
these  simple  lessons  are  thoroughly  learned  and  the 
horse  understands  the  trainer  is  his  friend  and  not  his 
enemy.  The  horse  of  ave.age  intelligence  learns 
quickly  as  soon  as  he  realizes  what  is  required  of  him 
The  main  requisite  on  the  trainer's  part  is  patience 
and  if  a  man  hasn't  got  this  and  lots  of  it,  he  had 
better  keep  out  of  the  business.  If  he  gets  excited  or 
impatient,  and  goes  to  hauling  the  horse  about  un- 
necessarily, the  animal  is  sure  to  become  uneasy  and 
fretful  and  a  little  experience  of  this  kind  will  spoil 
him. 

"The  better  bred  a  horse  is  the  more  intelligence  it 
has,  and  the  more  apt  it  is  to  make  a  good  performer 
provided  it  has  been  handled  properly  from  colthood' 
All  high  bred  horses,  however,  are  nervous,  and  re- 
quire-kiml  treatment  in  order  to  insure  good  results 
That's  why  you  see  so  many  bad  actors  on  the  race 
tracks.  Thoroughbreds  are  usually  intelligent,  but 
they  are  left  to  the  mercy  of  ignorant  stable  hands 
who  bang  and  slap  them  around  until  their  di-posit'ons 
are --polled.  They  are  teased  and  beaten  until  they  de- 
velop into  kickers  and  biters  and  man  eaters,  and  the 
thoroughbred  gets  a  bad  name.  Few  horses  are 
naturally  vicious;  they  are  made  so  by  had    handling. 

"It's  no  use  trying  to  do  anything  with  a  lunkhead 
of  a  horse,  and  for  this  reason  the  mongrels  as  a  rule 
are  not  satisfactory  for  ring  purposes.  They  haveD't 
got  intelligence  enough  to  comprehend  what  is  wanted 
of  them.  The  old  Morgans,  a  breed  that  is  fast  dying 
out,  make  good  performers,  hut  are  a  little  undersized. 
As  a  class  the  thoroughbreds  of  the  hunter  type  are 
the  best  material  to  make  trick  horses  of.  They  have 
size,  substance  and  brains,  and  with  the  right  kind  of 
treatment  are  docile  and  tractable." 


Death  of  Dr.  George  fl.  Bailey. 

We  take  the  following  from  the  last  issue  of  the 
American  Horse  Breeder:  "We  regret  to  announce 
that  George  H.  Bailey,  D.  V  S,  of  Portland,  Me., 
died  on  the  morning  of  the  30th  ult,,  after  a  week's 
sickness,  aged  70  years.  The  doctor  was  a  a  native  of 
Bridgeton,  Me.,  and  a  graduate  of  the  Bridgeton, 
Academy.  He  was  a  born  horseman  and  this  led  him 
to  become  a  veterinary  surgeon.  He  graduated  from 
the  New  York  Veterinary  College  many  years  ago, 
and  only  a  few  years  since  took  a  post-graduate  course 
at  the  Harvard  Veterinary  Institute  in  this  city. 

The  doctor  was  an  artist  of  considerable  ability,  and 
painted  excellent  portraits  of  several  famous  horses. 
Thirty-five  years  ago  he  was  considered  one  of  the 
best  trotting-horse  drivers  in  Maine.  He  was  for  some 
time  manager  of  Presumption  Park,  Deering,  Me., 
and  also  managed  Mystic  Park  for  one  or  more  seasons 
in  the  early  seventies.  He  was  an  expert  in  the  saddle 
as  well  as  the  sulky,  and  rode  the  running  pace  maker 
when  Goldsmith  Maid,  driven  by  W.  H.  Doble.reouced 
the  world's  trotting  record  to  2:16|  at  Mystic  Park, 
June  9,  1872. 

While  on  the  track  at  Bangor,  Me. ,  several  years 
ago,  assisting  in  starting  the  runners  in  a  race  at  the 
Eastern' Maine  Fair,  the  doctor  was  struck  by  one  of 
the  horses  that,  unobserved  by  him,  was  coming  down 
the  track.  His  injury  was  so  severe  that  it  was  at 
first  feared  it  would  prove  fatal,  and  he  never  fully 
recovered  from  theefftcts. 

The  doctor  was  a  bright,  genial  companion,  a  good 
talker  and  a  forceful  writer.  His  articles  against  the 
possibility  of  any  horse  trotting  a  mile  in  two  minutes 
were  the  most  able  overwritten  on  that  side  of  tbe 
question.  He  was  very  successful  in  his  profession, 
and  among  the  best-known  of  tbe  veterinary  surgeonB 
in  New  England.  He  was  for  several  years  the  State 
Veterinarian  of  Maine  and  a  member  of  the  Maine 
Board  of  Cattle  Commissioners.  He  was  energetic, 
public  spirited,  and  patriotic.  He  served  in  two 
Maine  regiments  of  infantry  during  the  Civil  War, 
the  10th  and  29th.  His  residence  was  at  East  Deer 
ing,  Me  ,  just  outside  of  Portland.  His  family  con- 
sisted of  a  wife  and  three  daughters,  all  of  whom  sur- 
vive him.  His  cheery  greeting  will  be  sadly  missed 
by  many,  and  especially  at  the  Breeder  office,  where 
he  was  a  frequent  and  most  welcome  caller." 


A  great  demand  is  reported  to  prevail  in  New  York 
for  higb-stepping  carriage  and  saddle  horses  imported 
from  England  and  Scotland.  For  ponies  of  the  right 
kind  and  fit  to  win  in  the  show  ring  some  very  long 
prices  have  been  paid  and  it  is  expected  that  great 
competition  will  ensue  at  the  shows  this  coming  fall 
in  the  pony  classes.

A  Marriage  on  Horseback. 

Gwendolan  Evans,  a  Welsh  heiress,  reputed  to  have 
a  fortune  in  her  own  right  of  £180,000  ($900,000),  was 
married  a  few  weeks  ago  to  Lieutenant  Griffith  Ev  r. 
sham,  of  one  of  the  royal  Welsh  fusileer  regiments,  by 
a  horse  wedding,  and  the  wedding  is  the  sensation   of 

the  year. 

There  was  no  reason  why  Gwendolan  should  not 
have  married  the  Lieutenant.  She  was  an  orphan  and 
of  age.  Young  Eversham  was  eligible  in  every  way 
and  not  a  fortune-hunter,  for  his  parents  are  wealthy. 
They,  too,  had  loved  each  other  devotedly  for  three 
years,  and  Gwendolan's  guardian,  her  uncle,  and 
Eversham's  parents  approved  the  match. 

The  sensation  in  the  marriage,  however,  was  in  the 
ceremony  attending  it,  for  Gwendolan  insisted  on 
having  a   'horse  wedding." 

No  one  in  London  society  knew  what  a  "horse 
wedding"  was,  and  when  the  rumor  began  tocirculate 
in  town  and  country  houses  that  Gwendolan  Evans 
was  to  be  married  at  a  "norse  wedding"  there  were 
uncertain  little  gasps  of  astonishment  among  maids 
and  matrons.  The  words  "horse  wedding"  suggested 
a  weird  ceremony  in  a  gypsy  camp  by  the  light  of 
smoking  torches,  with  dusky  faced  maidens  and 
swarthy  faced  men  dancing  on  the  greensward  to  the 
wild  music  of  the  Hungarian  forests. 

Not  for  a  hundred  years  had  a  horse  wedding  been 
celebrated  in  Wales,  and  it  was  not  strange,  thereforei 
that  society  people  were  bewildered  by  the  invitations 
to  go  to  Gwendolan's  county  seat  in  Wales  to  wioness 
the  ceremony. 

The  national  spirit  was  strong  in  the  breast  of  John 
Evans.  He  would  have  none  but  Welsh  tenants  on 
his  lands  and  in  his  villages.  He  encouraged  his  ten 
ants  to  keep  alive  Wolsh  traditions,  Welsh  music, 
Welsh  costumes,  Welsh  memories. 

Gwendolan  Evans  was  old  John  Evan's  only  child 
and  she  inherited  his  wealth,  as  well  as  his  national 
spirit.  She  lived  part  of  the  season  in  England,  of 
course,  where  she  was  a  petted  guest  in  the  great 
houses  in  Carleton  Square  and  other  great  fashionable 
thoroughfares  of  London.  She  was  invited  to  most 
of  the  great  house  parties  in  the  country. 

When  she  promised  to  marry  Lieutenant  Griffith 
Eversham  she  only  stipulated  that  they  would  have 
a  "horse  wedding."  Eversham  consented  readily 
enough.  He  didn't  know  what  a  "horse  wedding" 
.was  like,  but  he  would  have  gone  through  any  kind  of 
a  ceremony  to  win  Gwendolan  Evans. 

Gwendolan  issued  the  invitations,  and,  aided  by  her 
uncle,  took  charge  of  all  the  preliminary  arrange- 
ments The  Welsh  tenants,  who  entered  heart  and 
soul  into  the  spirit  of  the  affair,  were  drilled  in  the 
parts  they  were  to  play  in  the  ' 'horse  wedd ing. "  The 
guests  arrived  from  London— there  were  several,  too, 
from  Paris,  and  even  from  Rome—  and  every  one  was 
on  tiptoe  of  excitement,  for  no  one  had  an  inkling  of 
the  surprise  in  store  for  them. 

Invitations  were  sent  to  farmsteads  and  dwelling 
houseB  on  the  Evans  estate,  whether  tenanted  by 
gentle  O"  simple.  An  old  man  of  bardic  descent  was 
chosen  as  the  bearer.  He  carried  in  his  hand  a  staff, 
covered  with  many  colored  ribbons,  which  he  planted 
on  the  threshold  of  each  house  as  he  delivered  his 
message.  This  was  in  rhyme.  He  bade  all  the  in- 
mates to  the  wedding  in  verses,  which  he  sang,  in- 
toned or  crooned,  according  to  the  inspiration  of  the 
moment.  Every  tenant  of  the  estate  was  expected  to 
attend  the  wedding  and  at  the  "castle,"  asGwendolan 
still  called  her  magnificent  home,  great  preparations 
were  made  to  entertain  the  entire  neighborhood  with 
Welsh  songs,  games  and  feasts. 

These  native  poets,  who  a  few  centuries  earlier 
would  have  been  called  "bards"  and  were  then  styled 
"seekouts,"  placed  themselves  on  either  side  of  the 
closed  door.  There  they  began  their  lyric  measure. 
They  poured  out  praises  of  the  bride  and  her  family, 
invited  her  forth,  described  the  beauty  of  the  morn- 
ing, then  extemporized  by  turns  until  their  rhyth- 
mical powers  were  exhausted. 

At  last  the  door  unclosed  and  Gwendolan  Evans, 
the  bride,  appeared,  trembling  and  blushing,  ac- 
companied by  her  uncle.  Noisy  congratulations  fol- 
lowed, then  the  swiftest  horse  was  chosen.  The 
uncle  mounted,  the  bride  was  lifted  on  the  pillion 
behind  him.  The  bridal  party  followed,  consisting  of 
men,  women  and  children.  Tbey  clattered  through 
the  yard,  and  from  fifty  to  a  hundred  horses  galloped 
after  the  bride. 

On  some  neighboring  hilltop,  and  at  about  the  same 
time,  the  bridegroom  and  a  similar  company  left  his 
abode,  he  riding  the  beat  horse  that  he  could  command. 
Then  began  the  race  for  the  bride.  Gwendolan 
Eyans  and  her  uncle  were  ever  foremost,  the  bride- 
groom and  his  party  behind,  but  all  rode  as  if  riding 
for  their  lives.  It  was  dangerous  wedding  pastime. 
Sometimes  four  or  five  abreast,  sometimes  huddled 
together  by   the  dozen  or  score,   sometimes  single, 


they  galloped  on.  There  was  no  time  for  love-making 
or  gossip.  Their  hearts  were  in  their  horses.  It  was 
furious  riding,  and  the  women  were  as  energetic  as 
the  men,  perhaps  more  so.  They  ride  well.  A  Welsh 
woman  and  her  horse  seem  one — it  is  difficult  to 
separate  them  in  these  bridal  raids.  Even  rain  and 
mud  did  not  appall  them.  Many  colored  shawls,  pink 
and  white  ribbons,  scarlet  cloaks,  skirts  of  all  dyes, 
were  forgotten  in  the  one  great  object  of  being  up 
with  the  bride. 

All  the  countryside  was  out  to  see,  shouting,  cheer- 
ing  and  frightening  the  horses.  There  was  a  mile  or 
so  of  turnpike  road  before  they  reached  the  church, 
so  that  the  steeplechase  ended  in  a  fair  race.  Gwen- 
dolan Evans  and  her  uncle  strained  on  in  advance, 
but,  being  visible  to  all,  were  more  easily  reached  by 
the  party  of  the  bridegroom.  He  was  the  first  to 
oome  up  with  them,  and  then  began  a  tourney  for  the 
bride.  The  lover  tried  to  tear  her  from  her  pillion; 
she  clung  to  her  uncle,  who  held  her  fast;  the  horses 
pranced  or  reared,  and  the  dangerous  game  lasted  un- 
til the  bridegroom  gained  possession  of  his  bride  and 
placed  her  on  his  own  horse. 

Meanwhile  the  other  horses  tore  up,  that  their 
riders  might  "be  there  to  see, "  and  in  the  melee  not 
even  the  firm  seat  of  the  woman  always  saved  them 
from  a  downfall.  The  spectators  laughed  and  shouted 
while  they  righted  themselves,  and  amid  a  babel  of 
noise  the  bridegroom  started  again  with  his  bride  and 
the  race  commenced.  The  equestrian  tournament 
was  over,  but  the  church  had  still  to  be  reached. 

The  arrival  of  the  troop  at  the  village  brought  all 
the  inhabitants  to  the  front.  It  might  be  supposed 
that  the  spirit,  of  horses  and  riders  was  tired  out  by 
this  time.  On  the  contrary,  it  was  ever  sharpest  at 
sight  of  the  goal.  If  they  had  flagged  a  little  afterthe 
excitement  of  the  capture  of  the  bride,  they  aroused 
themselves  at  the  prospect  of  the  parson.  The 
chances  were  that  the  roads  had  been  dirty.  It  did 
not  make  any  difference.  On  they  came,  bespattered 
by  mud  or  besmothered  by  dust.  Bride  and  bride- 
groom, uncle,  tailor  or  best  man,  bridesmaids,  moth- 
er, sisters,  brothers,  friends,  over  a  hundred  horses, 
all  pelted  into  the  town  haphazard.  Pattering,  clat- 
tering, whip-arm  extended,  coat-tails,  shawls,  petti- 
coats, ribbons  floating.  Hurrahs  and  waving  of  hats, 
peals  of  laughter,  remarks'  on  personal  appearance, 
barking  of  dogs,  screaming  of  babies,  screeching  of 
small  boys;  such  a  hullabaloo  hasn't  been  heard  in 
Wales  for  a  hundred  years. 

Finally  Lieutenant  Eversham,  with  his  bride  seated 
on  the  pillion  of  his  racing  horse,  dashed  into  the 
village  and  drew  up  at  the  village  inn.  The  bride  and 
her  bridemaids  smoothed  their  ruffled  garments  be- 
fore the  looking  glass;  the  bridegroom  and  his  men 
refreshed  themselves  with  drafts  of  ale.  Before  half- 
past  eleven  o'clock  a  procession  was  formed.  The 
lovers  proceeded,  arm  in  arm;  every  Jack  chose  his 
Jill  and  followed. 

Blushing,  tittering,  coquetting,  they  took  their  way 
to  the  church  in  pairs.  The  old  people  and  children 
followed  less  regularly.  The  London  guests  joined 
the  string  who  had  not  joined  the  race,  and  a  goodly 
string  it  was.  Shopkeepers  were  at  their  doors,  their 
wives  in  the  windows,  spectators  everywhere.  Jests 
flew  and  kindly  feeling  prevailed. 

The  ceremony  was  duly  performed  in  the  old  parish 
church  and  there  was  no  doubt  about  the  wedding. 
All  those  valiant  horsemen  and  horsewomen  certified 
it  and  strengthened  the  Gordian  knot.  The  young 
men  and  maidens  took  the  privilege  of  a  kiss,  nothing 
loth,  and  after  the  usual  signing  the  procession  re- 
formed. 

The  exit  from  the  town  was  less  regular  than  the 
entry.  The  newly  married  pair  and  their  immediate 
friends  rode  off  steadily  enough  and  were  cheered  as 
they  went.  The  bride  blushed  behind  her  groom  and 
had  to  bear  the  blunt  jokes  and  jibes.  The  rest  fol- 
lowed at  leisure.  Hats  and  even  horBes  were  ex- 
changed. Potations  of  ale  made  the  men  frisky  and 
feeds  of  corn  enlivened  the  horses.  The  riders  were 
riotous  and  their  steeds  kicked  and  floundered,  so 
that  the  whip  and  stick  were  in  request.  But  all 
managed  to  reach  their  respective  homes. 

That  evening  the  guests  returned  to  London  and 
Lieutenant  Eversham  and  his  bride  started  for  the 
continent  to  enjoy  their  honeymoon,  both  satisfied 
that  they  had  had  the  most  sensational  wedding 
known  to  the  kingdom  for  a  century  — Chicago  Tri- 
bune.   

An  inventor  is  traveling  through  the  Eastern 
country  selling  a  device  for  stopping  runaway  horseB 
It  consists  of  a  pistol  that  fires  pointed  darls  that 
have  been  dipped  in  a  drug  that  paralyzes  the  muscles 
of  the  animal.  The  dart  sticks  in  the  flesh  and  the 
drug  acts  very  quickly.  It  is  said  that  only  a  few 
seconds  is  required  for  the  drug  to  act,  and  that  the 
horse  stops  without  falling. 


The  Vain  Fight  Against  Hobbles. 

Indications  are  not  .wanting  that  the  Kentucky 
Association  of  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  is  preparing 
to  follow  the  example  of  the  New  England  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders'  Association  in  rescinding  the  rule 
which  has  for  several  years  denied  the  right  of  com- 
petition on  the  Lexington  track  to  horses  which  wear 
hobbles.  Secretary  Horace  Wilson  is  authority;  for 
the  statemens  that  the  directors  of  vhc  Kentucky 
association  have  the  matter  under  consideratk  n,  and 
that  it  is  not  improbable  that  the  ban  will  be  removed. 
The  Kentucky  Association,  ever  zealous  for  the  in- 
terests of  the  breeders,  and  willing  to  endure  a  sacri- 
fice for  anything  which  promises  to  promote  improve- 
ment in  horse  breeding,  was  the  first  associatkn  In 
the  country  to  take  the  stand  that  hobbles  are  an  un- 
safe and  unsightly  contrivance  tending  to  encourage 
the  development  of  bad-gaited  horsey,  and  not  lack- 
ing in  the  courage  of  its  convictions  it  promptly  pro- 
hibited their  useat  the  Lexington  track.  Its  example 
was  followed  by  the  New  England  Trotting  Horse 
Breeders' Association,  and  for  several  years  these  tv  o 
associations  have  alone  stood  for  the  principle  in- 
volved in  the  embargo  upon  the  "6traps."  Finding 
that  the  effort  for  reform  was  gaining  no  adherents, 
and  realizing  that  it  was  entailiDg  a  material  financial 
sacrifice,  the  Readville  association  abandoned  its 
position  last  year,  and  it  is  apparently  now  to  be  fol- 
lowed by  its  Kentucky  contemporary. 

It  is  stated  that  the  latter  association  estimates  ita 
loss  in  entrance  fees  from  the  inhibition  of  hobbles  to 
have  been  quite  $25,000  or  $30,000,  but  that  this  is  not 
the  prime  reason  for  its  change  of  policy.  The  realiza- 
tion that  its  example  was  not  to  receive  support  from 
other  associations,  and  that  sirigle-handed  it  was 
powerless  to  accomplish  the  purpose  in  view,  has 
forced  it  to  recognize  the  fact  that  further  sacrifice  for 
the  principle  is  utterly  useless.  Undoubtedly  this 
view  of  the  situation  is  the  logical  one,  and  the  deter- 
mination to  recede  is  justified  by  the  hopeleE6ness  of 
any  good  from  a  longer  tenure  of  its  position.  It  now 
looks  as  if  the  hobbles  are  here  to  stay.  However  we 
may  deplore  their  use  as  dangerous  and  unornamental 
or  as  a  hindrance  to  the  propagation  of  a  breed  of 
pure-gaited  horses,  it  seems  to  be  clearly  demonstrated 
that  it  is  impracticable  to  effect  their  abolishment  for 
the  reason  that  trainers  find  in  them  a  facile  process 
of  correcting  defects  of  gait  to  remedy  which  by  other 
methods  would  require  too  much  time  and  effort. — 
Trotter  and  Pacer. 

Beautify  the  Race  Tracks 

It  is  a  singular  fact  that  the  vast  majority  of  our 
trotting  tracks  are  not  only  destitute  of  beautiful 
surroundings,  but  tbe  infield  which  could  with  slight 
expense  be  made  a  thing  of  beauty  and  a  joy  forever 
is  at  the  best  a  pasture  for  a  few  turned  out  horses. 
In  England  and  FraQce  tbe  spare  grounds  of  the 
tracks  are  subjects  for  the  landscape  gardener,  and 
theeye  is  delighted  with  beds  of  flowers,  smooth  green 
lawns,  shubbery  and  trees.  Coney  Island,  Brighton 
Beach  and  Washington  Park,  Chicago,  have  nice  dis- 
plays of  flowers,  but  the  infields  are  not  available  on 
account  of  the  steeplechases.  The  Empire  City  track 
from  the  gates  to  the  grand  stand  is  beautifully  laid 
out  with  lawns,  flowerbeds  and  plants,  and  the  old 
apple  orchard  which  had  been  on  the  land  for  years 
before  a  traGk  was  thought  of  was  fortunately  re- 
tained. The  Kentucky  Association  has  wisely  decided 
to  use  the  vacant  land  belonging  to  the  Lexington

A  coach  called  tbe  "Flying  Yankee"  is  to  be  put  on 
the  road  this  summer  between  Simsbury  and  Hart- 
ford, Conn.  The  coach  itself  is  a  twelve-year-old 
Concord  of  the  old  style,  being  an  exact  reproduction 
of  the  pattern  in  use  in  1830  and  thereby  in  the  same 
region.  So  far  as  is  known  it  will  be  the  only  public 
coach  in  use  in  Connecticut.  The  guard  and  coach- 
men will  be  dressed  in  tbe  style  of  1820.  Five  mem- 
bers of  the  Taconic  Polo  Club  orginiated  the  project 
of  running  the  coach  and  one  of  them  will  act  as  yu»rd. 
While  another  will  supply  the  horses.  The  trip  will 
be  about  twelve  miles  in  length  and  horses  wi'l  not  be 
changed,  three  stops  being  made  en  route.  Three 
trips  a  week  will  be  made.

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


Bain  and  squally  weather  last  Sunday  was  not 
tbreatenlngeaough  to  keep  overthirty  shooters  from 
participating  Id  the  monthly  shoot  of  the  Golden 
Gate  Guo  Club.  Considering  the  uninviting  weather 
conditions  the  scores  shot  were  very  good.  The  club 
race  wan,  as  usual,  at  100  targets,  50  on  the  straight 
bulkhead  and  50  under  the  Sergeant  system — the 
bird*  were  trapped  in  sections  of  25.  In  each  shoot 
there  was  an  optional  side  pool,  two  mooeys,  high 
guns,  a  purse  of  $100  is  added  monthly  by  tbe  club 
and  Is  cut  into  four  equal  moneys — one  for  each  class 
Tne  winners  were:  five  high  guns  in  the  champion 
and  first  classes  and  the  four  high  guns  in  the  second 
and  third  classes.  The  scores  made  were  the  follow-

The  eighth  annual  Kimball  Upson  tournament  be- 
gan yesterday  at  Sacramento  under  most  pleasant 
auspices.  The  card  for  the  first  day  calls  for  six 
events:  1 — Six  live  birds.  $3  entrance,  1  money,  high 
guns.  2 — Northern  California  Championship,  12  live 
birds,  $2.50  entrance.  3  — 12 live  birds,  pool,  high  guns, 
$7  50  entrance.  4 — 10  live  birds,  pool,  $7  50  entrance, 
high  guns.  5 — 12  live  birds,  pool,  $10  entrance,  high 
guns.  All  handicap  events.  6 — Gibson  cup,  blue 
rocks,  10  pairs. 

For  today  eleven  20  target  races  are  scheduled,  class 
shooting,  save  the  K  -U.  trophy  race.  The  final  event 
will  be  a  big  merchandise  shoot. 

Tomorrow's  program  calls  for  thirteen  events,  all 
20  targets,  save  the  five  man  team  Northern  Califor- 
nia championship  match.  A  merchandise  event  is  on 
for  the  day  also. 

A  large  attendance  of  shooters  will  be  on  hand.  The 
Southern  P  tcific  has  granted  a  special  rate  to  vUiting 
shooters.  Trade  representatives  may  shoot  for  birds 
or  targets  only,  otherwise  the  shoo*  is  open  to  all. 
Blue  rock  shooters  will  be  segregated  into  expert, 
first  and  second  classes.  Four  sets  of  traps  will  be 
us-d  for  target  events.  The  high  average  number  of 
blue  rocks  for  each  day — exclusive  of  the  team  race — 
will  be  200. 


The  presence  of  Martines  Chick  at  the  recent  blue 
rock  tournament  at  Los  Angeles  impelled  Scribe  Hed 
derley  to  recount  an  old  time  incident  id  which  blue 
rock  imitations  made  of  plaster  of  paris  were  used  at 
a  trap  shoot.  In  those  days  the  San  Diegan  was  ac- 
counted one  of  the  best  all-round  marksmen  in  Cali 
fornia. 

Chick  was  always  a  wonderful  performer  with 
either  shotgun  or  rifle,  and  many  are  the  stories  told 
of  bis  prowess  He  used  never  to  miss  a  local  blue 
rock  tournament,  but  of  late  years  has  had  some 
trouble  with  his  heart,  and  his  physician  has  forbidden 
the  scattergun,  though  the  more  sedate  sport  of  the 
target  r.fle  is  permitted 

Apropos  of  the  days  when  Chick  was  a  terror  to 
shotgun  sharks  in  California,  a  veteraD  trap  shot  tells 
a  rather  good  story.  It  happened  back  in  the  feood 
old  black  powder  days  when  tenbores,  loaded  with 
five  drahms  of  FFG  and  an  ounce  and  a  quarter  of 
eights  were  the  blue  rock  prescription. 

The  scene  was  a  little  town  in  the  San  Joaquin 
Valley  which  for  present  purposes  shall  be  nameless, 
as  must  some  of  the  performers. 

Chick,  Roll  Organ  of  Cbicago  and  several  other 
equally  prominent  lightsin  the  shooting  world  were 
there  for  a  little  tournament,  in  the  course  of  which  a 
match  was  framed  up  with  Chick  on  one  end  and 
some  of  the  local  sports  on  the  other. 

In  those  day-  Chick  was  always  good  for  well  over 
90  per  cent,  and  he  had  been  shooting  right  up  to  his 
gait  until  the  match  came  on.  Then  for  some  un- 
accountable reason  "Mart"  began  to  miss  the  birdB. 
At  least  he  wasn't  breaking  tbem. 

Ha  swung  onto  a  straightaway  about  ten  feet  from 
the  trap  and  pasted  it  with  the  center  of  the  charge, 
nearly  knocking  it  flat,  still  tbe  bird  didn't  break  nor 
were  Chick's  suspicions  aroused. 

At  this  time  a  youus  fellow  came  up  to  him  and 
said:  "Mart,  I've  just  $3  left  and  I'm  going  to  bet  it 
that  you  break  your  last  three  birds." 

"Don't  do  it,  young  man, "Chick  requested.  He 
broke  the  first  two  all  right;  the  third  was  a 
quarterer,  and  he  hit  it  so  hard  that  the  thing  was 
knocked  a  rod  out  of  its  course. 

The  boy  who  had  plunged  to  thedepths  of  his  pants 
pocket  saw  the  bird  wobble  and  put  up  a  mighty  howl. 
Before  he  cnuld  be  stopped,  he  had  dashed  out  into 
the  field  and  retrieved  that  bluerock,  shot  as  full  of 
holes  as  a  sieve 

"Look  hpre,  Mr.  Chick.  You  hit  that  bird  with 
seven  shot,"  yelled  the  youngster. 

Still  Chick  didn't  tumble  Odp  of  the  local  snooters 
yelled  at  the  kid  to  "drop  that  bird  and  come  in  off 
the  field  "     He  did. 

To  cut  a  long  story  short,  they  skinned  Chick  out 
of  $100,  and  bis  party  lost  at  least  as  much  more  on 
those  unbreakable,  cast-iron  blue  rocks  Someone 
hunched  Chick  off  to  it  that  night,  but  never  a  peep 
peeped  he 

Next  day  all  wf  re  going  for  a  duck  hunt,  and  Chick 
paired  off  with  the  fellow  who  shot  him  thematch  the 
day  before. 

When  be  got  bis  man  out  on  the  marsh,  they  do 
£ay  Chick  compelled  1  im  to  disgorge  the  bet  b«  bad 
been  skinned  out  of.and  the  rest  of  tbe  San  Dieeo  boys 
managed  to  get  theirs  too  in  various  equally  effective 
ways 

Since  then  not  many  have  tried  to  "job"  Chick. 


DOVE    SEASON     SHORTENED. 

The  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Los  Aogeles  county 
has  taken  radical  action  in  the  matter  of  the  law 
regulating  the  season  in  which  certain  game  may  be 
killed.  The  open  season  for  doves  is  bow  limited  to 
one  day,  August  ]5ih,  and  would  have  been  closed 
altogether  but  for  the  technicality  of  the  law  requir- 
ing an  open  season.  Other  hunting  seasons  were 
shortened  as  follows:  Deer,  August  15th  to  October 
1st;  mountain  quail,  September  1st  to  October  loth; 
valley  quail,  November  1st  to  February  1st. 

In  coustquence  of  this  action  there  is  great  diversity 
of  opinion  among  sport?men  with  regard  to  the  action 
of  the  supervisors  in  allowing  only  one  cay  for  dove 
shooting  this  season.  For  tbe  most  part,  tbe  board 
has  received  nothing  but  censure  for  its  action  in  pro- 
tecting the  birds,  for  the  hunters  are  wrathy  at  hav- 
ing their  sport  cut  off,  and  now  tbe  shooting  men  are 
using  every  endeavor  to  bave  the  ordinance  repealed. 
They  say  they  will  be  coDtent  with  two  weeks'  shoot- 
ing—  from  September  loth  to  October  1st. 

There  is  a  great  deal  of  sentiment  surrounditrg  the 
dove.  With  many  it  is  regarded  a^  almoBt  a  domesti- 
cated bird.  Those  who  =5tand  for  protecting  tbe  dove, 
6ay  they  are  great  consumers  of  tbe  seeds  of  pernic- 
ious weeds.  On  the  other  hand  it  is  claimed  that 
doves  carry  into  orchards  the  San  Jose  and  the 
Florida  or  black  scale,  at  any  rate,  the  majority  of 
the  people  south  seem  to  be  for  protection,  and  the 
board  wishes  to  carry  out  the  will  of  the  majority. 

One  point  argued  by  the  agrieved  hunters  is  that 
protection  in  Los  Angeles  county  will  not  protect  the 
doves,  because  when  they  get  ready  they  will  migrate 
to  grounds  where  they  will  be  shot  any  way. 

It  is  claimed  by  some  of  tbe  members  of  the  Los 
Angeles  Game  Protective  association  that  tbe  law 
delegating  to  tbe  supervisors  the  power  to  shorten 
the  open  season  is  unconstitutional,  and  it  is  said  they 
propose  to  make  a  test  case  of  this,  and,  if  necessary, 
carry  it  to  the  Supreme  court. 


LANDING    A    IELLOWTAIL. 

There  he  lay  in  solemn  state,  his  catafalque  the 
stern  of  a  soiled  skiff.  A  finned  gladiator  gone  to 
rest,  the  sunlight  upon  his  scaly  sides  glided  like  the 
radiance  of  polished  gold.  Beautiful  in  every  outline, 
a  masterpiece  of  God's  own  handiwork — a  thing  to  be 
gazed  upon  with  reverence,  and  consigned  again  to 
the  deep  in  pity  that  such  a  courageous  creature  must 
give  up  its  life  to  afford  man  a  few  minutes'  sport — a 
huee  yellowtail  slowly  slapped  out  his  life,  upon  the 
boat's  thwarts,  with  glassing  ejeand  feebler  tail  beats. 
Game  to  the  core,  he  fought  like  a  tigtr  to  the  last, 
and  was  so  spent  that  turning  his  poor  body  loose 
would  have  availed  but  little. 

Under  the  lowering  lee  of  Catalina's  precipitious 
cliffs,  not  far  from  the  Sugar  Loaf,  comfortably  bask- 
ing in  the  shade  of  a  mirine  forest  whose  gigantic 
fronds  of  kelp  make  the  snuggest  of  lairs,  ready  after 
the  manner  of  his  kind  to  take  a  chance  at  anything 
which  looked  good,  this  bold-eyed  beauty  lay  oneday. 
Anything  was  fish  that  came  to  his  net,  and  presently 
a  sardine  strolled  along  just  out  of  easy  reach  with  a 
most  bewitching  wobble,  struggling  as  if  hurt  A 
golden  scimitar  swept  with  nervous  motion  from  side 
to  sirie;  the  screw  propeller  of  that  big  yellowtail 
whirled  in  response  to  the  magic  mental  message,  and 
a  pair  of  horny  jaws  snapped  shut,  on  a  10  0  O'Saugh- 
nessy  hook! 

The  barbed  steel  set  its  way  home,  tben  like  a 
spurred  charger  the  fish  sprang  swiftly  in  response. 
Any  where  to  free  him  from  that  unwonted  restraint, 
tbe  crazed  creature  with  frantic  rush  dodged  from - 
side  to  side,  shaking  bis  head  likean  enraged  bulldog. 
Down  to  tbe  depths  he  plunged  at  top  speed;  up  to 
the  surface  he  rose,  but  in  vain.  Something  was 
biting  him  in  the  jiw,  and  try  as  he  would,  the  gnaw- 
ing worry  was  still  there. 

Suddenly  through  bis  feeble  5sh  brain  Fped  a  ray 
of  intelligence  Once  before  he  had  felt  that  pin  prick, 
and  there  was  a  line  attached  to  it.  Maybe  there  was 
another  Man  at  the  other  end. 

Without  waiting,  he  whirled;  tbe  tension  slackened, 
and  he  was  free!  The  fierce  joy  of  it  sent  him  a  hun- 
dred yards  to  a  sudden  stop:  there  it  was  again— that 
tantalizing  little  strain,  always  yielding  to  his  rushes 
but  never  breaking,  and  ever  spurring  him  on  to 
renewed  efforts. 

That  other  time,  he  charged  and  charged  until 
something  gave  away.  One  more  rush  might  do  it. 
Ah !  A  hoat  loomed  up  in  front.  He  would  dive  under 
her  and  cut  himself  free. 

It  was  a  good  trick — to  work  on  women  and  inex- 
perienced men  But  the  little  fellow  in  that  skiff 
belonged  to  the  Light  Rod  Brigade,  and  fish  tricks 
were  his  fun.  Around  the  stern  he  passed  the  tip, 
and  again  the  strain  told 

Twenty-five  minuT.es  of  diving  and  charging,  into 
and  out  of  the  kelp  like  a  sailmaker's  needle  goiDg 
through  canvas,  the  big  yellowtail  sped  on  his  way, 
but  tbe  rodster  ever  had  a  line  on  his  movements. 
To  every  rush  the  pliant  stick  gave  and  took  strain 
until  at  last  weak  fish  flesh  could  endure  no  more; 
deep  down  in  the  clear  water  over  the  side  be  ap- 
peared, clean  cut  as  a  cameo  in  green  and  gold  and 
silver.  Rolling  feebly  from  side  to-side  like  a  founder- 
ing ship,  he  slowly  was  lifted  to  the  surface.  One 
weak  dive  cheated  zhe  gaff  for  a  moment,  but  only 
prolonged  the  agony;  tbe  steel  hook  sunk  home,  and 
only  one  raire  yellowtail  had  ione  Mb  duly  like  a 
soldier — bad  died  breyely  io  battle. 

Tbirtv-two  pounds  tbe  scales  said — a  big  fish  that 
fought  for  bis  ounces  as  hard  as  any  small  one.  Will 
Stearns  of  Los  Angeles  was  the  lucky  captor,  and 
ach'eved  the  trick  unon  one  of  tbe  lightest  rods  ever 
u«ed  at  this  niass  of  fibbing — so  light,  indeed,  that  the 
wise  Ca»alina  boatmen  prpdicted  he  could  never  land 
a  bnnita  on  It,  to  snv  nothingcf  the  game  he  wasafter. 
Results  spoke  differently.

DOINGS  IN  DOGEOM. 


THE    'FRISCO     SHOW. 

The  "ninth  annual"  opened  with  a  rush  Wednesday 
morning  and  everything  was  in  readiness  for  the  be- 
ginning: of  the  ribbon  distribution  by  2  o'clock. 

The  bench  show  committee  is  entitled  to  much  praise 
for  the  smooth  and  even  progress  of  the  show.  The 
judging  ring  was  well  arranged  and  the  ring  steward 
and  his  assistants  worked  quicker  and  more  to  the 
satisfaction  of  exhibitors  than  at  any  previous  show 
of  the  club  W.  E.  Chute,  Dave  Sinclair  and  Louis 
Haaf  had  charge  of  the  ring  and  gates. 

Tom  Ashton  went  c.ver  the  classes  more  rapidly 
than  most  of  the  fancy  were  accustomed  to.  He  has 
a  good  eye  for  type  and  style  and  does  not  waste  time, 
iD  the  ring,  over  lumber  or  mediocre  dogs — we  have 
seen  some  judges  make  grand  stand  plays  in  letting 
down  easily  the  owner  of  a  "mut";  forinstance,  getting 
a  heavyweight  to  canter  around  the  ring  to  show  up 
a  seventeen-pound  Fox  Terrier.  An  eighth  of  a  mile. 
of  this  on  a  warm  afternoon  was  necessary  to  let  the 
sprinter  know  his  tyke  was  "out  at  elbows"  and  had 
bad  ear  carriage. 

But  back  to  the  sheep  again.  Quality  was  a  feature 
with  almost  every  breed.  Pointers  were  good  and 
fairly  strong,  local  entries,  particularly  some  Stock- 
dale  puppies,  were  well  up.  In  English  Setters  there 
was  an  excellent  showing  of  class.  The  Eastern 
Pointers  and  Setters  received  much  attention.  Collies 
were  strong  and  a  quality  grade  throughout.  A  better 
run  of  Gordons  and  Irish  Setters  was  apparent  this 
year.  The  Irish  Water  Spaniel  entry  was  better  in 
standard  and  more  numerous  than  ever  before. 
Cockers,  fell  short  two  entries  from  being  the  largest 
breed  representation.  Bulldogs  were  noticeably  good 
in  Coast  bred  puppies.  Fox  Terriers  was  a  hot  com- 
petition— Sabine,  Norfolk,  Wandee  and  Cairnsmuir 
kennels  entered  the  lists  with  their  best.  In  puppies, 
we  were  pleased  to  see  the  home  bred  ones  raise  the 
dough  to  quite  a  degree.  Irish  Terriers  were  few  but 
olassy  throughout. 

The  presence  of  "Jim"  Lynn,  "Charley"  Lyndon, 
"Ben"  Lewis  and  George  Thomas  gave  quite  an  "all 
rounder"  appearance  to  the  ring.  The  "boys"  are 
well  known  and  liked  here  and  have  been  made 
thoroughly  at  home.  The  visit  of  the  Eastern  "pros" 
is  worth  a  lot  to  a  few  of  thelocal  professional  handlers, 
for  now  the  limited  repertoire  or  the  local  dog  man 
can  be  enhanced  by  a  few  new  ring  stunts  and  there 
will  be  consequently  less  reliance  on  the  wise  look 
and  "dog  slang  " 

A  list  of  awards  and  report  of  the  show  will  appeal- 
next  week.  A  list  of  the  dogs  by  breeds  is  about  as 
iollows: 

St.  Bernards  17,  Great  Danes  17,  D.erhounds  1, 
Greyhounds  5.  Foxhounds  7,  Pointers  22,  English 
Setters  41,  Irish  Setters  10,  Gordon  Setters  8,  Chesa-

GLEN     TANA'S     REI.I  A  lii.i.. 

The  half-tone  picture  of  Ch.  Glen  Tana  Marquis  is  a 
strikingly  good  picture  of  a  very  fine  Collie.  Mar- 
quis has  won  golden  opinions  from  Collie  judges,  but 
seems  to  be  just  a  bit  without  the  best  consideration 
of  sporting  dog  judges.  He  has  a  grand  record  of 
bench  show  wins  at  many  big  shows  and  is  a  proven 
sire  Besides  his  winning  progeny  on  this  side  he  has 
sired  a  champion  biteh  in  Scotland.  Mr.  Griffith  has 
now  struck  the  true  fancier's  gait,  for  be  proposes 
henceforth  to  show  only  Collies  of  bis  own  breeding. 
At  present  Glen  Tana  Collie  Kennels  have  a  number 
of  good  youog  dogs  for  sale.  Mr.  Griffith  has  also 
decided  to  dispose  of  all  of  his  show  dogs.  Here  is  an 
opportunity  for  the  fancy  that  should  not  be  over- 
looked. Ii  is  a  matter  of  regret  among  many  of  the 
visitors  at  the  show  this  week  that  a  string  of  Glen 
Tana  Collies  were  not  shown. 

Among  the  principal  wiis  of  Marquis  are:  Victoria, 
C.  K.  C,  1905,  three  firsts  and  special  for  best  under 
Judge  Birker  of  New  York.  Seattle,  A.  K.  C,  1905, 
first  limit  and  open,  reserve  winners  under  Judge,  J.  J. 
Lvnn  of  Port  Huron.  Portland,  A.  K.  C  ,  1905,  first 
lim:t,  open  and  winners,  special  for  best,  under  Tom 
Ashtoo  of  Leeds.  Spokane,  W  K  L  ,  1904,  three  firsts 
and  cup  for  best  Seattle,  1904,  four  firsts  and  spec'al 
for  best  under  Judge  James  Watson  of  New  York. 

Portland,  A.  K  C  ,  1904,  three  firsts  and  special  for 
best  under  Judge  James  Mortimer  of  New  York.  San 
Jose,  W.  K.  L.,  1904,  three  firsts  and  special  for  best, 
under  Judge  Turner  of  Victoria,  B.  C.  Milwaukee, 
A.  K.  C,  1904,  one  first  and  one  second,  special  for 
best  tri-30lor,  under  James  Mortimer. 
••Over  the  water  he  won  eleven  fir -its  at  Scotch  shows, 
including  four  firsts  at  Glasgow,  1904,  under  Judge 
Copley.  At  Arbroath,  1903.  three  firsts  under  Tom 
Ashton.  At  Bellingham,  1903,  two  firsts  under  Judge 
Sch-ifield.  Marquis  was  whelped  April  2,  1902  and  is 
by  Ellwyn  Carnegie  out  of  Ellwyn  Nance.  A  glance 
over  his  pedigree  tells  why  he  is  the  good  one  he  has 
proven  to  be. 

THE    DOG    BOOK. 

Messrs.  D>ubleday,  Page  &  Co.,  New  York,  have 
published  the  two  parts  of  The  Dog  Book,  a  popular 
history  of  the  dog,  by  James  Watson,  with  practical 
information  as  to  care  and  managementof  house,  ken- 
nel and  exhibition  dogs,  and  description  of  all  the  im- 
portant breeds.    The  work  will  appear  in  ten   parts, 


and  is  profusely  illustrated.  The  first  part  contains 
the  early  history  of  the  dog,  the  dog  in  the  house, 
exhibition  dogs,  managements  of  shows  and  buying  a 
dog.  The  set-up  and  printing  of  the  book,  judging 
by  the  first  part,  is  excellent,  and  the  illustrations  are 
reproductions  from  photographs  in  a  sepia  tone  that 
is  very  pleasing  and  appropriate  to  the  subjects. 
Well-known  kennels,  showing  the  runs  and  accommo- 
dations, are  given.  The  information  is  practical  and 
exact.  As  the  book  is  being  produced  in  parts  at  $1  a 
number,  it  is  within  the  reach  of  all,  and  will  un- 
doubtedly be  found  on  most  dogmen's  bookshelves. 
Those  who  have  been  fortunate  enough  to  possess  the 
Count  de  Bylandt's  book,  recently  published,  may 
well  add  James  Watson's  book  to  their  library,  as  it 
can  be  described  more  as  a  valuable  addition  than  a 
rival  to  that  great  work.  De  Bylandt's  book  is  con- 
fined to  engravings  and  standards,  excellently  pro- 
duced, and  showing  great  research.  Watson's  is  a 
readable  work,  written  in  masterly  style,  in  which  the 
veteran  and  the  novice  can  find  equal  interest  and 
information. 

We  unhesitatingly  recommend  the  work  to  all 
lovers  of  the  dog  and  suggest  to  our  readers  the 
taking  of  an  immediate  subscription  for  it. 


A     K.    C.     STUD    BOOK,    VOLUME     21. 

We  acknowledge  the  courtesy  of  the  A.  K.  C, 
through  Secretary  Vredenburg.in  forwarding  Volume 
21  of  the  Stud  Book,  numbers  77,568  to  84,963  inclu- 
sive. 

The  rer-eipt  of  the  1904  list  of  registrations  is  a  timely 
one,  for  we  have  had  several  calls  for  it,  and  announce 
that  the  list  is  now  at  the  disposal  of  the  fancy  for 
temorary  reference,  until  individual  orders  may  be 
filled. 


American  Kennel  Club  Notes. 


it  a  meeting  of  the  Rules  Committee  of  the  Ameri. 
can  Kennel  Club  held  April  7, 19ub,it  was  recommended 
that  the  following  rules  governing  registration  of 
dogs  be  made  an  A.  K.  C.  by-law. 

Dogs  shall  be  eligible  for  Stud  Book  registration  if — 

1 — American  bred,  whelped  after  January  1,  1906, 
and  having  registered  dam  and  sire. 

2 — Foreign  bred  dogs  must  have  three  generations, 
certified  by  Kennel  club  of  country  from  which  they 
are  imported . 


Ch.  Glen  Tana  Marquis 

3 — Dogs  not  eligible  under  the  above  must  have  won 
at  least  three  firsts  in  limit  or  open,  under  at  least 
three  different  judges  at  recognized  shows. 

4 — Dogs  whelped  prior  to  January  1,  1906,  may  be 
regi-tered  at  any  time  under  the  rules  in  force  up  to 
that  date. 

A  new  by-law  is  offered  as  follows: 

XVTII — Any  parson  or  persons  acting  in  any  official 
capacity,  paid  or  unpaid,  including  Judge,  Secretary, 
Steward  or  Clerk  of  a  show,  or  as  an  officer  or  mem- 
ber of  a  Bench  Show  Committee  of  any  club  holding  a 
show  in  the  United  States  of  America  underany  other 
rules  than  those  of  tb.6  American  Kennel  Club  shall  be 
disqualified  and  debarred  from  all  privileges  of  the 
A.  K   C. 

With  the  exception  of  the  routine  business,  no 
matter  shall  be  brought  up  for  discussion  at  any 
meeting,  unless  due  notice  has  been  given  to  each 
delegate  at  least  ten  days  prior  to  the  said  meeting. 

The  foregoing  proposed  new  by-law  will  preclude  a 
Coast  club,  for  instance,  from  showing  under  C.  K.  C. 
rules.  Under  existing  circumstances  the  move  will  be 
of  benefit,  no  doubt,  for  the  general  interest  of  Coast 
dogdom. 

Amendments  to  the  rules  are  proposed  as  follows: 

Rule  XII.  Class  No.  1  Add  a  new  paragraph: — 
Puppy  classes  must  be  judged  not  later  than  the 
second  day  of  the  show. 

Class  No  2  Substitute  the  following:  The  novice 
class  shall  be  for  American  bred  dogs  only,  never 
having  won  a  first  prize  at  any  recognized  show,  wins 
in  the  p  'Ppy  classes  excepted. 

Class  No  5.  Add  after  the  word  "class,"  in  the 
twelfth  line,  the  words, "uoderthreedifferent  judges." 

Paragraph  No.  7  Add  new  paragraph: — "Shows 
that  do  not  give  mnney  prizes  in  the  regular  classes 
sh  ill  be  rated  at  one-half  the  schedule  of  points  as 
designated  above  " 

VI.    Add   the  following    words:     "Except    in   the 


case  of  technical  errors  where  fraud  is  not  shown,  i° 
which  case  the  Secretary  shall  impose  a  fine  of  $5  for 
each  entry.1' 

Rules  XXIV.  and  XXV.  to  become  Rules  XXV. 
and  XXVI. 

Substitute  for  the  present  Rule  XXIV.:  "The 
Judges,  Secretary,  Superintendent  and  Veterinarian 
of  a  show  cannot  make  entries  for  competition  at  that 
show.  The  Superintendent  of  any  show  cannot 
officiate  as  a  Judge  at  that  show. 

Page  21,  Rule  XVI.  Section  4.  Add  the  words,  "for 
each  entry."  Same  rule.  Add  new  section:  For  all 
errors  in  the  entry  torms  at  shows,  where  fraud  is  not 
shown,  $5  for  each  entry. 

The  committee  also  recommended  the  adoption  of 
the  following  rule,  in  accordance  with  the  instructions 
received  by  it  at  the  late  annual  meeting:  That 
between  the  dates  of  December  1  and  December  31  of 
each  year,  nominations  for  the  officers  of  President 
and  Vice-President  and  the  Cbaii  man  of  each  stand- 
ing committee  of  this  Association  may  be  filed  with 
the  Secretary  of  this  Association  by  any  delegate 
whose  club  is  in  good  standing,  and  the  said  Secretary 
must  publish  said  nominations  for  the  above  named 
officers  in  the  January  issue  of  the  American  Kennel 
Gazette  of  each  year.  And  at  each  succeeding  annual 
meeting  only  such  names  as  may  have  been  nominated 
and  whose  nomination  has  been  publishea  in  the  pro- 
ceeding January  issue  of  the  American  Kennel  Gazette, 
in  the  manner  above  set  forth,  shall  be  eligible  as 
candidates  for  said  offices,  and  no  other  nomination 
shall  be  permitted,  nor  can  any  candidate  other  than 
such  as  have  been  announced  be  nominated.  The  vote 
on  the  above  recommendation  was  four  in  the  affirma- 
tive.    The  Chairman  dissented. 

It  was  also  the  sense  of  the  committee,  that  it  ia 
unwise  to  interfere  with  the  present  method  of 
approaching  show  dater. 

Portland  Show. 

The  Portland  show  last  week  is  generally  credited 
with  being  one  of  the  best  ever  held  in  that  city. 
Quality  and  style,  both  locally  and  with  outside  dogs 
benched,  was  high  class,  Collies,  English  Setters, 
Pointers,  Irish  Terriers  and  Cockers  being  particu- 
larly good.  Thomas  Ashton's  awards  were  generally 
well  received  and  satisfactory.

THIS    IS    GOING    SOME. 

The  third  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Golden 
Gate  Gun  Club  lor  the  season  was  held  at  Ingleside 
May  7,  1905.  Considering  the  inclement  outlook  for 
the  day  the  attendance  was  exceptional,  showing 
clearly  thestrong  hold  trap  shooting  has  on  the  Coast 
among  the  lovers  of  blue  rock  shooting. 

From  Monterey  came  Messrs.  Varien  and  Greene 
from  Vollejo  MeBsrs.  O'Hara,  Elias,  Clark  and  Ma<ns- 
trini.  With  Mr.  Magistrini  came  his  young  son,  who 
although  a  mere  lad,  gives  promise  of  being  a  ve- 
markable  shot  in  the  near  future. 

Thirty-five  shooters  faced  the  traps,  and  of  this 
number  33  were  U.  M.  C.  enthusiasts,  using  "Magic  " 
"Acme"  and  "Monarch"  shells  manufactured  by  the 
always  reliable  U.  M.  C.  Company.  Like  the  sterling 
mark  on  silver  is  the  U.  M.  C.  brand  on  ammunition 
standing  for  the  highest  obtainable  qualities  making 
for  those  attributes  most  desired  by  sportsmen  viz 
accuracy,  reliability,  perfection.  The  showing  of 
popularity  and  confidence  only  adds  one  more  link  to 
the  already  long  chain  of  evidence  which  increases 
the  ever-growing  luster  of  U.  M.  C.  products. 

The  winners  in  the  various  classes  vere  as  follows: 
Expert— Webb,    Schultz,    Holling,  Varien    ana    Nau- 

man,   all  using   U.  M.  C.   ammunition.     First  class 

Wattles,  Donohoe,  Harpham,  Goleher  and  Greene 
all  users  of  U  M.  C  shells.  Second  class— Hoffman' 
H.  Kleversabl,  Shields,  Laing  and  Asblin,  all  using  u' 
M.  C.  products.  Third  clas-— Harvey,  Cuneo  and 
Patrick,  two  using  U.  M.  C.  goods 

Thus,  of  the  18  prize  winners  in  the  various  classes 
17  were  users  of  the  U.  M.  C.  Company's  ammunition' 
"NufCed."  

IN    SOUTHERN    CALIFORNIA. 

That  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker  gun  is  much  in 
evidence  in  Southern  California  is  attested  by  the 
fact  that  at  the  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club  shoot,  the  22d 
and  23d  of  April,  37%  of  the  contestants  shot  Parker 
guns,  and  the  longest  run  of  84  straight  was  made  by 
Lewis  Breer,  Jr.,  using  the  Parker  gun.  The  Tufts- 
Lyon  Arms  Co  medal  was  won  with  43  out  of  50  by 
Guy  Lovelace,  with  a  Parker  gun. 

Mr.  J  E.  Vaughan,  the  "Fred  Gilbert"  of  Califor- 
nia, at  Los  Angeles,  March  12th,  made  28  straight 
with  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker.  At  Pasadena, 
March  19th,  Mr.  Vaughan  scored  94  out  of  100.  and  at 
Los  Angeles,  April  9th  and  16th,  92  out  of  100  and  94 
out  of  100,  respectively  Mr.  Vaughan  is  a  staunch 
Bupporter  of  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker. 

INTERESTING    BOOKLETS. 

The  Hunter  Arms  Co.,  of  Fulton.-JST.  Y.  makers  of 
the  L.  C.  Smith  gun  announce  the  publication  of  a 
series  of  interesting  booklets,  the  first  of  which  "A 
Spring  Day  in  the  Meadows, "a  neat  little  brochure 
discriptive  of  Bnipe  shooting,  is  at  hand. 

We  would  suggest  to  sportsmen  that  a  copy  of  the 
same,  and  undoubtedly'those  following,  will'be  foutd 
interesting  and  well  worth  sending  for. 

A    GOOD    SCORE 

M.  O.  Feudner  used  a  new  Ithaca  gun  at  a  recent 
Inrleside  trap  shoot  and  scored  24  straight,  using 
So  lultze  powder,  at  32  yards  rise.

their  hatching,  aa  the  hens  themselves 
can  hatch  all  they  lay,  or  nearly  all. 
Moreover,  the  fact,  that  the  turkey  hens 
are  almost  indispensable  to  the  successful 
rearing  of  the  poults  makes  it  an  absolute 
necessity  that  they  should  hatch  some  of 
theii  eggs,  so  as  to  induce  them  to  brood 
the  poults. 

Quite  frequently  some  turkey  eggs  for 
hatching  aie  given  to  chicken  bena  of 
large  size,  and  the  poults  they  bring  from 
the  egge  are  given  to  the  turkey  hen  to 
rear.  Chicken  nens  brood  the  poults 
quite  aa  well  as  the*> turkey  hens  up  to  a 
certain  age,  at  which  time  the  poults  b^gin 
to  wander.  If  other  broods  of  poults  are 
with  turkey  henB,  those  with  the  chi  ken 
hen  usually  will  leave  their  foster  mother 
wander  away  with  a  fleck  of  turkeys, 
and  atay  with  them. 

When  there  is  an  opportunity  for  choice, 
bene  that  are  two  years  old  or  over  are 
the  beBt  to  select  for  hatching  eggs.  The 
contiuual  strain  of  four  weeks  sitting  de- 
manded for  hatching  turkey  eggs  is  quite 
a  trial  of  patience  and  endurance,  and 
while  many  young  hena  do  their  part  to 
perfection,  it  is  safer  to  trust  the  task  to 
older  hens  if  you  have  them.  Eggs  from 
hens  that  are  two  years  old  and  over  pro- 
duce stronger  and  more  vigorous  poultB 
than  do  eggs  from  yearling  bene. 

Whether  the  eggs  are  hatched  by  turkey 
hens  or  chicken  hena,  equal  caution 
should  be  used  to  preyent  the  possibility 
of  insect  parasites  of  any  kind  being  in 
or  about  the  nest  or  upon  the  body  of  the 
hen.  A  dirt  foundation  covered  with 
Borne  slaked  lime  is  a  good  begiuning  in 
the  construction  of  a  nest.  Upon  thiB 
should  be  placed  a  fresh  nest  of  soft  straw 
or  hay.  No  other  enemy  is  so  destructive 
to  the  young  poulta  as  lice,  which  are 
very  apt  to  iDfeBt  them  as  soon  as  they 
are  hate  ed,  if  a  determined  fight  ia  not 
made  to  prevent  it.  After  the  poults 
have  begun  to  grow. they  must  be  watched 
continually  to  guard  against  the  presence 
of  the  lice. 

It  takes  twenty-3even  to  twenty-nine 
days  for  turkey  eggs  to  hatch.  Those 
that  are  perfectly  fresh  will  hatch  a  few 
hourB  aooner  than  those  that  have  been 
kept  a  week  or  longer  before  placing  them 
under  the  hena. 

The  eggs  are  usually  fertile;  quite  fre- 
quently each  egg  in  the  nest  will  produce 
a  living  poult  Place  under  each  hen

cover — no  more.  Some  may  cover  fifteen 
better  than  others  wilt  cover  nine.  If 
the  nen  is  given  too  many  eggs,  a  poor 
hatch  is  likely  to  result. 

When  broody  turkey  hena  are  driven 
from  their  nests,  they  are  quite  likely  to 
quit,  their  eggs  and  select  another  loca- 
tion where  they  will  nest  and  lay  the 
second  clutch  of  eggs.  Some  turkey  hem 
will  reaT  two  broods  in  a  season  when 
permitted  so  to  do  Late-hatched  poults 
are  not  desirable  for  winter  ro  sts,  nor 
are  they  valuable  for  breeding  Btock,  but 
they  may  be  grown  for  broiler  poults  and 
sold  to  good  advantage. 

While  incubating  their  eggs  the  hens 
should  be  supplied  with  food  and  water; 
these  should  be  placed  close  at  hand 
where  they  mry  go  to  them  at  will;  or 
their  coming  from  the  nest,  as  they  will 
each  day,  should  be  observed  so  that  they 
may  be.  fed  and  watered.  Good  sound 
wheat  and  corn  are  best  for  their  food  at 
this  time. 

The  eggs  of  turkeys  can  be  hatched  in 
incubators  quite  as  well  as  the  eggs  of 
other  fowls.  It  is  preferable,. however,  to 
have  them  hatched  by  the  hens  that  are 
t<»  brood  them;  in  fact,  this  is  the  pre- 
vailing custom.  There  is  a  feeling  of  con- 
fidence when  the  eggs  are  in  the  care  of 
a  oroody  hen  which  does  not  exist  when 
artificial  methods  are  employed  which 
depend  for  Buccess  on  the  care  of  an 
attendant. 

The  growing  of  poults  in  brooders  has 
been  tried  to  some  extent.  The  diffirul- 
rie8  in  the  way  are  as  follows :  Tiie  poults 
do  not  seem  to  realize  that  they  should 
loi'K  down  to  the  floor  for  food  ;  they  run 
about  with  their  head  up,  peeping  con- 
tinua'Iy  for  food,  until  many  die  from 
exhaustion.  To  overcome  this,  the  food 
is  taken  between  the  fingers  and  held 
close  to  the  beaks  to  induce  them  to  eat. 
This  must  be  done  many  times  a  day  for 
several  days,  to  keep  them  alive  and  to 
teach  them  to  eat.  Turkey  hens  that 
have  reared  a  brood  or  two  usually  wilj 
do  better  with  poults  than  young  hens 
with  their  first  brood  Hens  that  have 
had  experience  make  the  best  mothers, 
as  they  pay  early  and  special  attention  to 
teaching  their  young  to  eat.  Some  prefer 
chicken  hens  to  start  the  young  poults, 
as  they  devote  more  attention  to  teach- 
ing the  poults  to  eat. — T.  F.  McGrew.

Poultry  Pointers. 

The  good  all  round  fowl  is  the  Bafest  for 
ord. nary  folks.  So  that  when  either  the 
eggs  or  fowls  are  offered  in  market  they 
will  bring  a  fair  price.  Such  fowls  are 
medium  in  Bize  and  good  layers. 

Some  flocks  are  killed  by  kindness. 
They  are  overfed  and  do  not  have  to 
scratch  for  a  living. 

It  is  claimed  by  some  that  sunflower- 
seed  is  the  best  of  all  foods  for  poultry. 

There  are  some  who  prefer  to  use  the 
eggs  of  young,  thrifty  fowls  for  hatching. 
They  claim  that  pullets  are  at  their 
majoiity  when  ten  months  old,  and  that 
their  eggs  are  as  good  as  those  which  are 
older. 

There  are  those  who  sell  all  of  their 
flock  over  one  year  old  every  spring,  and 
use  only  the  young  for  eggs  and  breeding. 
While  the  hen  is  Betting,  the  lice  have 
an  opportunity  to  do  their  best.  UnleBS 
she  is  dusted  with  insect  powder,  they 
will  multiply  so  rapidly  tbat  she  will  do 
little  good,  especially  when  the  weather 
is  warm 

The  best  time  to  mark  the  pullets  is  as 
soon  as  they  show  their  superiority 
Vety  soon  they  all  look  so  much  alike 
they  can  hardly  be  told  from  each  other. 
The  coop  for  the  little  chickens  should 
be  thoroughly  clean.  When  it  has  been 
used  for  one  brood  it  would  be  beBt  to 
whitewash  it  before  UBing  it  for  another. 
in  our  anxiety  to  have  our  hens  do  their 
best  we  often  overfeed.  Then  they  are  bo 
fat  that  thev  will  not  lay.  It  takes  con- 
siderable judgment  to  feed  poultry  prop 
erly  It  is  a  Btudy  to  give,  voungand  old, 
layers  and  noo-lavers,  their  proper  por- 
tion.   They  do  amazingly  well  when  it  is 


all  thrown  down  together.     But  probably 
would  do  better  if  fed  separately. 

Kerosene  ie  a  great  friend  to  the  poultry- 
man.  It  is  especially  helpful  in  keeping 
down  vermin  The  roosts  and  theirsup- 
piuts  should  be  gone  over  every  two  or 
three  weeks.  The  mites  should  not  be 
permitted  to  get  a  start. 

As  yet  no  commercial  food  has  been 
manufactured  that  is  equal  to  a  good 
forage  diet  for  fowls — old  or  young. 

The  hen's  nest  should  be  inviting,  if  it 
is  not  handsome.  The  hen  is  more  par- 
ticular that  the  nest  be  comfortable  rather 
than  picturesque. 

As  soon  as  the  sun  begins  to  shine 
warm  and  hot  the  drinking  vessels  need 
to  be  changed  every  few  hours. 

The  color  of  the  comb  is  the  index  of 
health  or  not  health  of  the  fowls.  If  the 
color  of  the  comb  is  not  right  the  condi- 
tion of  the  io    1  is  not  right. 

The  custom  of  baking  bones  is  not  af 
good  for  fowls  as  grinding  them.  The 
ground  bone  contains  all  the  material 
necessary  for  making  eggs. 

Fowls  are  irregular  in  tbeir  habits  of 
eating.  They  are  always  at  it,  and  will 
eat  heartily  as  often  as  their  crop  it 
empty. 

When  feeding  jour  chicks  the  food 
should  not  be  too  Bloppy.  Wet  corn  meal 
is  one  of  the  worst  diets  that  can  be 
given  to  them. 

The  dry  method  of  feeding  young  thicks 
is  growing  in  favor.  The  feed  is  nevei 
made  wetter  than  the  crumbling  form 
When  fowls  are  older,  the  morning  ant- 
night  maBh  may  be  made  softer. 

Oat  meal,  not  rolled  oats,  is  the  bes- 
food  f..r  young  chicks.  It  is  a  good  food 
ted  alone  Some  mix  cracked  wheat  with 
ir,  and  finally  cracked  corn. 

There  is  nothing  that  will  give  more 
pleasure  and  profit  to  little  incubatoi 
chicks  than  to  have  the  floor  of  the 
brooder  covered  with  finely  cut  straw,  01 
ch.ver  with  leaves  and  heads.  Some  dr\ 
feed  of  some  kind  may  be  scattereo 
through  it. 

In  raising  chickens,  there  are  few  if 
anythings  more  important  than  to  keep 
things  clean.  After  all  the  important 
things  are  done,  uncleannesB  will  undo 
them  all. 

While  chickens  enjoy  the  company  of 
each  other,  they  do  better  in  small  flocks 
and  in  small  lots  in  incubators.  Ovtr- 
crowding  causes  disastrous  results. 

Chickens  that  are  poor  without  being 
cared  for  make  but  small  progress  in  life 
and  Beldom,  if  ever,  become  the  best  egg 
producers.  To  have  the  best  resultB  with 
a  quick  spring  growth  necessary  for  the 
establishment  of  Bize  and  vigor,  they  must 
be  well  fed,  regularly  fed  and  properly  fed 
from  shell  to  finish.  Anything  short  of 
thisinsureB  an  advance  to  poor  growth 
und  poor  results  all  along  the  line. 

In  Becuring  a  good  supply  of  egg  the 
inborn  tendency  of  heavy  laying  is  an 
important  point  It  is  a  tendency  whicl 
goes  in  certain  strains,  the  same  as  in 
certain  families  of  cattle,  and  without  it 
no  amount  of  Bkillful  care  and  feeding 
will  produce  the  best  results. 


Valuable  Sheep  Experiment. 

Prof.  James  W.  Wilson,  director  of 
the  experiment  station  at  Brookings,  S 
D..  is  carrying  on  an  interesting  experi- 
ment in  sBeep,  and  the  results  will  be  of 
value  to  men  on  the  range.  His  purpose 
is  to  fir.d  a  cross  that  will  be  an  ideal 
sheep  in  wool  and  mutton  for  the  range. 
His  plan  is  to  cross  the  ordinary  range 
ewe  with  six  different  breeds  of  pure 
bred  bucks  in  successive  years,  treat  the 
limbs  in  all  ca9es  precisely  alike  and 
observe  what  the  difference  is  in  final 
results  at  the  markets.  The  experiment 
is  novel  in  that  the  same  ewe  will  be  bred 
to  different  rams. 

Flockroasters  on  tbe  ranges  of  the 
West  have  experimented  io  crost-ii£

The  Calf. 


lam  speaking  of  the  dairy  calf  that  is 
eired  by  a  good,  pure-blood  bull  and  out 
of  a  performing  cow.  We  expect  more 
from  the  well-bred  calf  and  we  generally 
do  more  for  it,  so  the  better  calf  brings 
out  better  work.  Now,  while  I  am  speak- 
ing of  the  dairy  calf,  urging  that  it  shall 
be  well  bred  and  well  fed,  I  might  say  as 
much  for  the  beef  calf,  for  while  I  at 
present  am  not  much  of  a  maker  of  beef, 
I  know  that  the  calf  of  the  beef  breeds 
that  is  most  likely  to  do  the  best  in  its 
mission,  and  do  it  quickly  and  with  the 
most  profit,  is  the  calf  that  has  been  well 
bred  and  always  well  fed,  writes  W.  F. 
McSparren  in  Hoard's  Dairyman  Every 
year.  1  see  thousands  of  steers  that  have 
not  had  either  of  these  advantages. 

I  eee  also  many  that  are  well  bred,  but 
that  have  this  quality  largely  neutralized 
by  having  been  under-fed. 

But  the  dairy  call?  The  end  in  view  is 
to  make  her  grow  into  a  good  cow.  Her 
superior  breeding  is  a  vantage  start,  but 
aft  rthat,  and  toconsummate  its  promise, 
care  and  feed  must  do  the  reBt. 

Good  feeding  does  not  mean  stuffing. 
It  is  as  easy  to  stunt  a  calf  by  over-feed- 
ing as  by  under-feeding. 

The  calf's  feed  must  be  such  and  of 
such  quantity  that  both  thrift  and  good 
health  may  be  maintained.  Many  a  stunt- 
ed calf,  many  a  sun-fish,  pot-bellied  calf 
has  grown  by  very  force  of  ability  to  aB_ 
sert  her  merit;  I  suppose,  into  a  good  cow 
But  we  only  know  what  she  is.  We  can- 
not even  guesB  what  she  might  have  been, 
or  how  much  her  calf-hood  handicap  dis- 
counts her  mature  performance. 

Twelve  or  fourteen  pounds  of  butter  a 
weeks  marks  a  good  cow,  but  a  twenty  or 
twenty-four  pound  cow  is  a  very  much 
bett-r  one,  possibly  worth  four  times  as- 
much.  It  is  for  the  best  cow  we  must 
keep  working. 

Expdrienced  breeders  of  cows  know 
they  may  do  their  level  best  in  breeding 
and  some  of  the  results  be  failures  and 
disappointments. 

But  it  is  ethically  true  that,  other 
things  being  equal,  the  man  who  does  the 
most  is  more  sure  of  success  than  he  who 
fails  in  some  important  point.  Obviousl) 
the  breeder  who  has  better  cows  as  his 
object  will  attain  most  by  taking  no 
chances  by  relaxation  in  care  of  breeding 
and  in  sufficient  and  proper  feeding,  al- 
lowing the  cow  to  work  out  her  own 
destiny. 

Fortunately  we  have  passed  the  time 
when  outrageous  lies  about  and  concern- 
ing the  performance  of  individual  cows 
and  families  of  cows  were  accepted  as 
truth  by  innocent  breeders  and  dairymen. 
It  was  one  time  an  easy  matter  for  a 
herdsman,  whose  perquisites  depended 
upon  the  showing  he  could  make  for  the 
cows  in  his  care,  to  report  to  his  em- 
ployer, who  was  generally  a  city  profes- 
sional or  business  man,  that  this  or  the 
other  cow  had  made  a  record  for  herBell 
and  her  owner.  But  later  days  hav* 
brought  newer  light,  and  lies  are  not  so 
current.  The  good  breedB  of  dairy  cows 
have  been  graduated  into  the  herds  of 
business  dairymen,  who  often  themselves 
do  the  feeding,  the  milking  ;nd  the  test- 
ing. We  now  have  scientific  checks  'ipon 
big  yarns.  We  know  the  cow  makes  her 
milk  from  the  feed  she  digests  and  assimi- 
lates. We  know  about  the  quantity  of 
feed  it  is  possible  for  even  the  biggesi 
eater  to  use,  aod  we  know  further  that 
the  cow  has  never  yet  been  created  thai 
can  produce  from  her  limit  of  feed  more 
constituent  matter  than  nature  put  into 
the  feed  dhe  has  cou-umed.  We  know 
that  the  cow'h  physiological  economy  is  a 
laboratory  into  which  natural  producle 
enter  and  from  which  her  products— life, 
oir»pring  and  milk  are  turned  out.  The 
character  of  the  naiurul  products  eaten, 
together  with  the  cow's  individual  treat- 
Ol  them,  determines  the  chemical 
composition  of  the  output.  One  cow 
n  ore  than  another  will  color  her  milk,  or 
put  more  water  or  more  fat,  or  more 
"ugarinto  it.    One  cow   will   save   more 


tban  another  of  the  total  of  the  elements 
of  her  food;  but,  as  I  have  said,  no  cow 
can  possibly  recover  more  from  her  food 
than  nature  put  in  it. 

These  simple  truths  which  along  with 
others  we  have  learned  from  scientific 
investigation,  are  checks  against  which 
no  one  but  a  fool  will  make  impossible 
claims. 

Efairy  knowledge  has  become  widely 
disseminated.  We  complain  often  that 
it  spreads  slowly,  it  is  true,  but  when  we 
do  that  we  are  estimating  the  wide  field 
yet  uncovered,  rather  than  the  other  wide 
field  it  has  already  covered. 

Good  d  irymen  have  added  great 
numerical  strength  to  their  ranks  Good 
cows  have  increased  and  multiplied.  They 
liave  grown  over  into  the  living-making 
herds  of  the  working  dairymen. 

From  plain  farmers  all  over  the  land, 
our  papers  publish  dependable  reports  of 
what  the  cows  have  wrought.  The  own- 
ers of  these  cows  are  of  course  not  able  to 
tell  just  how  much  more  protein  -'Bess" 
can  use,  three  months  in  lactation,  than 
is  required  by  "Ross,"  due  to  freshen  in 
July.  "Lady"  may  show  profitable  re- 
turns for  25  per  cent  more  fat  than 
"Queen"  and  her  oyeralled  owner  never 
dream  of  it.  He  might  make  determina- 
tions, if  so  minded,  but  he  knows  the 
game  would  not  be  worth  the  candle.  He 
knows  that  while  such  determinat  ons 
would  reflect  great  credit  upon  his  skill 
and  erudition,  they  would  furnish  him  no 
guide  in  feeding  different  feed  combina- 
tions to  Queen  and  Lady  or  the  same 
combinations  to  Princess. 

Suffice  it  for  him  to  know  that  full 
feeding  throughout  the  year  of  a  ration 
palatable,  succulent,  balanced  in  protein, 
carbohydrates  and  fat,  enables  his  good 
cows  to  make  him  money. 

Admitting  that  good  cows  have  multi- 
plied in  the  hands  of  good  dairvmen,  the 
fact  remains  that  in  view  of  the  vast 
sums  of  money  expended  for  imported 
stock  and  for  fancy  bred  domestic  ani- 
mals, our  number  of  really  extraordinary 
cows  is  lamentably  small  Our  teachers 
of  the  principles  of  breeding  are  fond  of 
proclaiming  that  one  of  the  fundamentals 
is  that  like  produces  like.  If  this  be  not 
true,  then  we  might  as  well  burn  all  our 
pedigree,  and  neglect  the  records.  But 
that  being  true,  what  in  the  world  be- 
comes of  the  droves  of  "likes''  produced 
annually  in  America?  That  they  do  not 
show  up  in  our  working  herds  is  no  abro- 
gation of  the  principle,  but  that  they  do 
not,  brings  us  back  to  my  first  proposition 
of  supplementing  good  breeding  with  good 
feeding.  We  must  mind  the  calf  if  we 
would  milk  the  cow. 

We  are  breeding  in  the  purple  all  right, 
but  we  are  feeding  in  homespun,  patches 
and  rags. 

The  passing  of  the  cattle  range  and  the 
boom  in  the  sheep  market  along  with'the 
high  prices  for  all  wool  and  hair-bearing 
animals  has  attracted  some  attention  to 
Angora  goats.  This  branch  of  the  Btock 
industry  passed  through  a  boom  three  or 
four  years  ago  which,  like  all  booms,  re- 
sulted in  Borne  men  paying  a  high  price 
for  little  experience.  Goats  are  semi- 
tropical  and  wh  le  thriving  at  high  alti- 
tudes they  require  good  protection  from 
the  Bnow  and  cold  of  our  northern  cli- 
mates. The  farmer  who  bought  Angoras 
in  small  bands  merely  for  use  as  brush 
cleaners  and  who  have  studied  the  busi- 
ness and  given  good  care  have  made  a 
success.  In  New  Mexico  and  Texas 
where  the  pasturage  is  suitable  for  the 
goat,  great  profit  has  resulted  in  the  busi- 
ness and  it  may  be  carried  on  there  in  a 
large  way  by  experienced  men  who  have 
proper  locations.  We  can  see  no  occa- 
sion for  war  between  the  cattle  and  sheep 
men  and  those  engaged  in  the  rearing  of 
goats  because  the  Angora  does  a  vast 
amount  of  good  to  the  mountain  and  tim- 
ber pastures  by  cleaning  off  the  under- 
brush, fertilizing  the  soil  and  giving  the 
L'raxs  a  chance  to  grow.  —  Farmer  and

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU    ABE,    BEAD    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  in  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  nest  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blacks— a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  Wb  imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latoh.  very  short  In  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  clean  in  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  00  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  black  points,  no  white;  oomtng  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds,  He  is  muoh  admired  for  his 
fine  h»ad  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  first-class  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breads  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  endurance.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as ''fine  as  peaches,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  olean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  thn  brightest  prospect  for  good  orops  in  this  country  th3t  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  F.  Slngmaster.  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
is  proud  to  say  we  havehad  extremelv  good  success  In  making  sales  Have  met  with  ooly  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expect  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stockof  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  disoount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

PEDIGREE: 


DILLCARA,  foaled  1902 


...by SIDNEY  DILLON  23IS7 

First  dam,  GUYCARA  2:18|       by GUY  WILKES  2867(2:151) 

Second  dam,  BISCARA by DIRtCTOR  2:17 

Third  dam,  BICARA by HAROLD 

Fourth  dam,  BELLE by MAMBRINO  CHIEF 

Fifth  dam,  BELLE  LUPE by BELLFOUNDER  (Brown's) 


The  above  dams  in  this  younr  stallion's 
pedigree  are  the  choicest.  The  first  dam  Is  a 
young  "brood  mare  with  a  record  of  2:18^;  the 

I  second  dam  is  the  dam  ot  5  in  the  list  with 

I  recordsof -J:  14,2: 17H,  2:1PM.  ~:18?i,  2:27,  respec- 
tively; the  'hird  dam  was  the  dam  of  6  with, 
records,  2:21%,  2:2i?:i,2:2t)M  etc,  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast,  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Chief 

i  and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mfa;  thefourthdam  wasthedam-'f  McCurdy's 

!  Hambletonian  2:26L/a,  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire  Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood, etc.  Hence  from  his  dams  have  come 
two  great  families— the  Beimont-Nutwood 
and  the  Pancoast-Patnn-Patronage-Prodi- 
gal  families  The  dam  of  the  sire  and  the 
dams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sires.  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  damof  Cupid  2:18.  who 
oroduced  we  1;  Lady  Bunbt-r,  the  dam  of  Guy 
Wilkes,  was  the  damof  Win  L.,  sire  of  Axtel, 
and  El  Mahdi  2:2514  and  Declaration,  who 
*vere  each  toe  sire  of  several  gond  ones:  Do!  ly, 
thpdamof  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
•?:25%  and  Thorndale  2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  oolt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  holders.  They  have  also  produced 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
level  headed  and  the  largest  money  winners 
In  the  trottiDg  world.  The  first  four  trace  In 
the  male  line  to  Hambletonian  10  through 
ancestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandsires.  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  six  crosses  of  Hambletonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  producing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  each  of  which  goes  to  him  through 
dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 


Individually,  this  young  stallion.  DILLCARA.  is  as  good  as  his  pedigree.  He  is  of  the  stout, 
blocky  type,  without  coarseness,  and  he  is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  "f  natural  speed  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  haodsof  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  an<1  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  racing,  expecting  ihat  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney.  Director  Direct  and 
Nutwood  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 
purposes. 

DILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Franolsco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SERVICE  FEE  »40

HACKNEYS. 
GREEN'S  RUFUS The  Baywood  Stud,  San  Mateo 


OBJECTIONS  HAVE    BEEN  RAISED   by  a   few 
owners    of    three-year-old   pacers   and  trotters 
that  took  records  last  year  as  two-year-olds,  because 
the   Los   Angeles  association    has   offered    purses   for 
three-year-olds  without   records   and    provided   none 
for  those  that  won  heats   and    took    standard   marks 
last  year.     It  seems  hard  for  an  owner   that   raced    a 
two-year-old  to  a  record  last  year,  to  have  no   chance 
to  race  him  at  the  meeting  in   question,  but  if  these 
owners   will   put  themselves  in   the    place  of    many 
others  who  were  unable  to  start  their  colts  at  all  last 
year  will  see  that  their  objections  are  not  well  taken. 
There  are  a  large  number  of  three-yeir-olds  in   train- 
In?  in  Southern  California  that  are  getting  their  first 
work.     Many  of  them  had  no  stake  entries  whatever, 
others  were  sick  or  lame  and  not  fit  to   train,    and   to 
ask  them  to  go  up  against  tried  colts   tbat   took    fast 
records  as  two-year-olds  would    not   be  exactly    fair. 
The  majority  of  the  colts  tbat   took   records  as  two- 
year  olds  last  season  are  in  tbe  Breeders  Futurity  for 
three-year-olds   where   first   money   is  a  pretty   rich 
prize,  and  many  more  are  entered    in   tbe  Occident, 
theStanford  and  the  Stallion  stakes  for  three-year  old8 
at  this  year's   State   Fair.     Consequently   they   have 
opportunities  to  race  where  there  is  good    money  for 
those  that  are  among  the  first  four  in  the  summaries. 
The  claim  that  an  owner  penalizes  his  colt  by   letting 
him  win  as  a  two-year-old  can  be   made  in   regard   to 
any  horse  that  takes  a  record.     It  is   this  system   of 
penalizing   horses   that   makes   racing    possible.     An 
owner  might  as  well  claim  that  because    he   trotted   a 
horse  to  win  every  time  last  year  and   gave   him   a 
record  of  2:15  that    the  $2000  trot   at   the  Breeders 
meeting  should     not    be     for  2:24    class    trotters  as 
as  he  would  be  barred  out.     The  associations  all  over 
the  country  have  not  been  giving  many  races  for  two 
or  three  year  olds  recently  except  the  stakes,  and  the 
Los  Angeles  three-year-old  purses  are  given  for  colts 
without  records  for  the  especial  purpose  of  giving  the 
green   and    untried    colts  a  chance   to   race   without 
meeting  colts  tbat  are  known  to  be  crackerjacks.  We 
hope  those  owners  whose  colts  have  records   will   see 
this  matter  as  the  associations  see  it.     All  are  striving 
to  build  up  the  harness  horse  interests  and  some  have 
provided  good  purses  for  two  and  three-year-olds  in 
which  records  are  no  bar.     Tbe  few   purses   that   are 
given  for  colts  without  records  are  only  a  side  issue 
for  the  colts  that  failed  to  show  well  last  year  or  were 
not  trained.     It   would   be  a  very   nice   thing  if  ad- 


ditional purses  could  be  given  for  colts  with  records, 
but  it  must  be  remaindered  that  programs  must  be  so 
arranged  as  to  provide  for  the  most  horses  and  draw 
the  largest  number  of  entries.  After  a  meeting  at 
which  from  $10,000  to  $15,000  in  money  is  distributed 
to  the  winners,  the  managers  are  very  lucky  if  they 
find  there  is  no  defieit  to  face.  They  work  hard  and 
do  the  best  they  can  to  please  all,  but  the  meetings 
that  pay  a  profit  are  so  few  and  far  between  that  they 
are  like  angels  visits.  Neither  the  Los  Angeles  or  the 
Breeders  Association  can  arrange  a  program  that 
will  sui„  every  individual  owner,  but  they  have  done 
the  very  best  they  could  under  the  circumstances  and 
it  is  more  than  probable  tbat  any  change  in  either 
program  as  already  published  would  give  offense 
to  many  more  persons  than  it  would  please.  Los 
Angeles  has  not  provided  for  record  three-year-olds 
at  its  early  meeting  it  is  true.  Let  us  suppose, 
however,  that  a  change  were  made  ana  the 
purses  be  left  open  to  all  three-year-olds,  and  such 
colts  and  fillies  as  Bon  Voyage  2:15,  Jack  Axworthy 
2:15}  and  a  few  others  of  that  calibre  were  brought 
here  to  race.  How  about  the  objections  that  would 
be  raised  then?  Would  they  be  numerous  or  other- 
wise? We  think  if  our  friends  who  own  three-year- 
olds  that  £ot  mirks  as  two-year-olds  last  season  will 
reflect  a  little  on  this  subject  they  will  see  that  in  the 
present  condition  of  things  ia  California,  where  theie 
area  half  dozen  rich  stakes  for  three-year  olds  in 
which  records  are  no  bar,  there  is  no  injustice  intended 
or  implied  in  the  Los  Angeles  associaiion  offering  a 
few  small  purees  for  three-year-ulds  without  records. 


"TEN  THOUSAND  DOLLARS  has  been  divided  into 
*  purses  for  t'-ouers  and  pacers  10  compete  for  at 
Fresno  at  a,  meetiug  to  be  given  oy  the  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  in  July.  The 
date  has  been  set  so  that  a  week  will  intervene  be 
tween  tbe  L-rs  Angeles  and  the  Breeders  meetings. 
The  main  events  are  a  $1500  puree  for  2:20  pacers  and 
one  of  the  same  value  for  2:24  class  trotters.  The  Di- 
rectors of  the  Breeders  Association  make  these  laige 
purses  for  blow  clashes  each  year  to  build  up  the 
breeding  and  training  interests  of  the  State  and  they 
are  doing  tbe  work  intended  For  horses  that  can 
trot  in  2:10  or  pace  in  faster  time  there  is  an  oppor* 
tunity  to  win  many  thousands  on  the  Grand  Ciicuit 
every  year.  Big  stakes  for  the  slow  classes  are  there-

A  Merchant's  Story  of   His  First  Colt. 

A  congenial  company  of  horse  lovers  were  gathered 
together  a  few  evenings  since,  the  subject  of  conver- 
sation being  the  early  experiences  of  each  as  a  horse 
lover— natural  or  acquired.  It  did  not  take  lonf 
bo  discover  that  the  horse  love  was  inbred  and 
inspired  in  each  breast  Of  early  experiences  that  of 
John  B  Davis,  the  wholesale  dry  goods  dealer,  was 
interesting.  Said  ne.  "Our  folks  were  farmers  down 
in  central  New  York— the  most  picturesque  and  beau- 
tiful country  outdoors.  Father  was  a  devout  Chiistian 
and  faithful  follower  of  the  lowly  Nazarene,  and,  as 
might  be  expected,  we  children  accompanied  our  par- 
ents to  church  regulaily.  Well  do  I  remember  the 
strictness  pervading  our  home  ou  Sunday.  No  baking, 
boiling  or  unnecessary  cooking  or  unnecessary  work 
of  any  kina  was  ailuwed  indoors  or  out  on  Sunday. 
As  aaort  of  'DlacK  aheep'  I  early  in  life  contracted 
the  naoit  ul  'driving  out'  Sunaay  afternoons,  and 
even  though  lather  anew  that  the  cause  of  these 
urives — the  company  of  the  country  giru — was  me 
not  to  bo  interfered  with,  yet,  tumetuw,  be  always 
auimiaeu  thai,  tne  driving  ol  'my  colt'  had  about  as 
iiiuun  to  do  with  the&e  excursions  as  the  pleasure  of  a 
country  maiden's  society. 

And  ue  was  right  lor  1  can't  recall  a  boy  in  all  our 
Sediun  ol  tne  country  whom  1  uid  not  cuoiptl  to  take 
olt  Sunuay  aitcrnoou  dust.  And  this  speeu  ability  of 
'my  colli'  Was  a  puwerlul  u rawing  card,  1  tell  y  ju;  for 
no  1,  a  girl  within  ten  miles  lounu  hut  longtd  for  a  ride 
behiuu  'my  ouU' — aod  1  gue-^s  they  were  all  accummo- 
uaied  at  one  time  or  another. 

The  speed  uf  "my  uolt'  puffed  me  up  with  pride 
whtcu  1  have  alway  s  toougnt  paruouahlt ,  and  so,  in 
tQa  fall,  when  our  couniy  lair  wus  in  progress,  I 
^fiOCKed  my  father  auu  woueued  his  houest  church 
priue  wouucrlully.  To  one  of  my  sisters  I  confided 
the  secret  that  1  was  yoing  to  uiive  'my  colt*  in  the 
i-aaa  for  [county-bred  and  County -owned  horses. 
Just  had  lu  tch  someone  at  home,  anu  she  was  the 
only  o_e  of  our  family  wuo  wouldn't  as  »oon  ?ee  me  go 
to  jail  as  see  me  ui^raee  the  lamily  oame  by  taking 
ialeresi  in  a   horse  r&C-. 

Well,  the  day  came,  and  father  drove  to  town  in  the 
light  dciuucrai  wagou,  wnie  I  Lock  my  sisttr  in  the 
carriage  d  1  awn  by  my  coll.'  When  the  couDty 
raee  was  called,  tuere  wis  I  in  the  thickest  of  the 
fray,  and  father  dumb  with  astt.LULnunt  and 
wounded  pride.  And  yet,  as  we  wtre  scored  down  for 
toe  woru,  1  saw  latuer  1  igut  upal  thefrontand  just 
as  near  the  wire  as  he  Conlu  get.  Of  course,  1  won  the 
race,  and  two  happier  hearts  never  beat  in  unison. 
Father  relented  sufficiently  to  postpone  bis  day  of 
remonstrating  with  me,  hut  it  just  hau  Lo  come,  and  I 
took  his  well  meant  au  vice  silently. 

A  few  days  alter  this,  fatter  tuid  me  to  hitch  'my 
colt'  alongside  one  of  the  big  far  m  horses  and  we'd  go 
to  the  woods  after  a  load  ot  green  rails  As  you  know, 
the  roads  in  that  country  are  either  up  hill  or  down 
hill.  The  trials  of  'my  colt'  on  this  particular  day 
pierced  my  heart,  for  she  fretted  and  snorted  and 
showed  her  wounded  pride  in  being  knocked  about 
over  the  stony  roads.  Finally  we  came  to  a  sharp 
hill,  and  it  was  a  hard  one  on  the  horses  with  ik.a 
heavy  load  pushing  thtm  down  the  rough,  steep  and 
stony  road.  Arriving  at  the  bottom  1  stopped  the 
team  to  rest  before  beginning  the  mad  rush  necessary 
to  haul  the  load  up  the  sharp  hill  before  us. 

'My  colt'  was  foaming  and  chafing,  and  as  I  patted 
and  soothed  her  I,  for  the  first  time  in  my  life,  dtcided 
to  revolt  and  openly  defy  my  father.  Throwing  down 
the  lines  I  saia:  'Father,  I  haven't  got  the  heart  lo 
punish  'my  colt'  any  more,  and  if  ever  the  team  pulls 
this  load  u^  that  bill  you'll  have  to  whip  them  to  it, 
for  I  can't  be  so  cruel. ' 

■'My  words  came  like  a  thunderbolt  to  father,  who 
said  quietly:  'John,  what  do  you  mean,  son — why  do 
you  talk  to  your  father  about  cruelty  to  the  horses?' 

'Father,'  said  I,  'you  lectured  me  about  the  cruelty 
of  driving  'my  colt'  in  ibe  couniy  ract,  when  you 
know  tba'-  every  inch  of  that  race  was  as  thoroughly 
enjoyed  by  her  us  it  was  by  me  Now  here  we've 
been  cruelly  tieaiing  her  all  afternoon  until  she  chafes 
and  foams  and  sweats.  This  hill  is  more  than  I  can 
stand  and  I  can't  linger  be  1  party  to  the  ill  treatment 
of  'my  colt  '  If  ever  this  load  goes  lo  ihe  top  of  that 
hill,  you'll  have  to  do  tbe  drivino.' 

To  make  a  long  story  short,  father  suggested  that 
we  unload  part  of  the  rails,  and  then  yently  as  he 
could  he  touk  the  lines  and  drove  hi  me  with  tbe  load 
while  I  fe.-udged  on  behind.  I  left  home  soon  after  to 
accept  a  situation  at  the  country  store,  but  father 
never  after  that  day  s-aid  a  word  to  me  about  cruelty 
or  the  wickedness  of  a  county  horse  race." — £  J.

Joe  Cuicello  of  San  Francisco  slipped  down  to  Los 
Angeles  this  week  and  purchased  from  Mr.  W.  H,

of  Coney  2:02,  Stipulation  2:11$,  McZeus  2:13,  and 
Grace  McK.  2:21$,  and  grandam  of  Tidal  Wave  2:13$. 
She  trotted  a  trial  miie  in  2:19  on  Tuesday  just  before 
Mr.  Cuicello  closed  the  bargain,  and  has  shown  a  mile 
in  2:16}.  Horsemen  in  Los  Angeles  says  she  is  a  great 
trotter,  although  somewhat  nervous,  and  with  carefu 
preparation  will  be  able  to  trot  three  heats  better 
than  2:15.     The  price  paid  for  Mabel  W.  was  $1500.    ;

JOTTINGS. 


LOU  DILLON  was  worked  four  heats  at  San  Jose, 
last  Saturday,  for  the  first  time  this  year,  and 
they  were  in  3:30,2:22,2:17  and  2:15.  The  last  heat 
was  the  fastest  the  chestnut  champion  had  been  asked 
to  step  up  to  that  time,  since  she  has  been  in  Budd 
Doble's  charge  and  she  did  all  the  work  so  nicely  that 
she  cooled  out  inside  an  hour  afterwards  and  was  put 
away  in  her  stall  by  her  faithful  caretaker,  Ed  Molloy, 
who  says  the  queen  of  all  trotters  never  looked  or  lelt 
better  since  he  has  been  with  her.  Horsemen,  who 
have  not  seen  her  since  she  was  breaking  records  on 
the  Grand  Circuit,  marvel  at  the  improvement  in 
her  manners  that  Mr.  Doble  has  effected.  Before 
each  heat  he  scored  her  down  a  time  or  two,  always 
at  the  trot,  pulling  up  and  turning  her  around  at  the 
first  eighth  pole,  walking  her  back  up  the  stretch 
each  time,  the  mare  behaving  in  the  best  possible 
manner.  In  her  heat  in  2:17,  which  was  the  third, 
she  stepped  the  last  quarter  in  just  31  seconds,  with 
Mr.  Doble  coaxing  her  to  go  a  little  slower  but  not 
pulling.  After  she  had  been  put  away  in  her  stall,  a 
man  who  has  made  the  guessing  of  the  weight  of 
horses  a  life  study,  looked  her  over  and  said  she 
would  weigh  900  pounds  and  he  was  willing  to  wager 
she  would  not  vary  five  pounds  from  that  figure  if 
put  on  the  scales.  Molloy  told  him  she  was  weighed 
two  weeks  ago  and  tipped  the  beam  at  exactly  S95. 
She  seems  to  be  gaining  in  flesh  a  little  all  the  time, 
although  she  gets  considerable  work.  Mr  Doble  be- 
lieves in  plenty  of  wortt  but  not  of  the  exhaustive 
sort.  If  there  is  a  trainer  in  the  whole  country  who 
understands  the  art  of  making  speed  by  going  slowly, 
it  is  Budd  Doble.  A  friend  of  mine  once  remarked 
that  it  required  both  brains  and  patience  in  the  super- 
lative degree  to  make  a  first-class  trainer,  and  if  any 
man  in  the  horse  business  has  these  requirements  it  is 
the  quiet  gentleman  who  gave  Dexter,  Goldsmith 
Maid,  Nancy  Hanks  and  Kinney  Lou  their  champion 
records.  He  says  that  Lou  Dillon  will  probably  go 
East  about  the  first  week  in  June  The  date  has  not 
been  6et.  He  desires  to  have  the  little  mare  in  con- 
dition to  stand  the  fast  miles  she  will  he  asked  to  trot 
after  she  reaches  Cleveland,  and  thinks  a  mile  in  2:10 
will  be  the  limit  of  the  speed  he  will  require  of  her  for 
that  distance  while  she  is  in  his  charge.  Mr.  Doble 
will  not  go  East  this  year.  The  mare  will  be  sent  in 
care  of  Ed  Molloy  who  knows  her  every  whim,  and 
for  whom  she  shows  unmistakable  affection.  If  any- 
one doubts  tbat  the  champion  mare  lacks  this 
characteristic,  he  can  have  his  doubts  dispelled  by  a 
visit  to  her  quarters.  She  has  learned  to  like  Mr. 
Doble  and  showed  this  within  a  week  after  she  came 
in  his  charge.  I  saw  him  stand  ten  feet  from  her  and 
gently  call  "Lou!  "  She  was  half  dozing  at  the  time, 
but  lifted  her  pretty  head  and  turned  it  with  ears  for- 
ward, while  her  eyes  rested  directly  on  him,  and  then 
stepped  toward  the  stall  door  and  reached  out  her 
nose  for  a  caress  Lou  Dillon's  gait  is  the  wonder  of 
every  horseman  who  sees  her  at  work  The  manner 
In  which  she  crosses  her  front  legs  in  walking  and 
when  at  speed  would  lead  one  to  imagine  many  boots 
would  bt  required.  When  her  left  foot  is  picked  up, 
it  Is  carried  around  and  put  down  in  a  manner  that 
looks  very  much  as  it  it  was  put  down  across  and  to 
the  right  of  the  right  foot,  and  she  moves  the  right 
In  the  same  manner.  The  instantaneous  photographs 
taken  of  her  year  before  last  show  that  her  front  legs 
are  actually  crossed  when  in  her  greatest  speed 
flight.  The  more  one  looks  at  the  mare  and  studies 
her  peculiarities,  the  stronger  becomes  the  conviction 
tbat  she  Is  In  a  class  by  herself  in  more  ways  than  one. 

Kinney  Lou  2:07},  the  fastest  horse  by  the  records, 
barring  Luu  Dillon,  that  is  now  at  the  San  Jose  track, 
ha-.  I.ad  more  mares  this  year  than  he  did  last,  up  to 
this  time.  He  Is  such  a  6ure  horse,  and  bis  foals  such 
good  lookers,  tbat  he  will  be  one  of  the  popular  stal- 
lions as  long  ai  Mr.  Doble  keeps  him  In  the  stud. 
Never  has  a  horse  been  In  better  condition  than  this 
great  son  of  McKlnney  Is  right  now.  Mr.  Doble 
Intends  raclog  him  down  the  Grand  Circuit  in  1906, 
and  will  begin  preparing  him  as  soon  as  tl 
season  Is  over.  He  had  not  driven  Kinney  Lou  out  of 
a  jog  since  last  fall  until  Saturday,  when  the  horse 
was  foaling  so  well  that  he  let  blm  step  along  the  last 
eighth  of  a  very  6low  mile.  P.  W.  Belllngall,  the  San 
Francisco  customs  broker,  :med  him  tbat  eighth  in 
16J  seconds,  and  Kinney  Lou 
tbat  few  noticed  be  was  going: 

has  the  finest  legs  and  tbe  finest  coal  of  hair  of  any  of 
the  McKlnneys,  while  his  noble  Bensll  -  to  me 

a  mode!.    Mr.  Doble  says  that  Kinney  condition 

is  due  in    a  great   measure   to   his  can 
who  came  to  California   with   bin. 
winter  and  has  been  almost  Inseparable  from 


the  horse  ever  since.  "Billy"  as  Doble  calls  him  is 
one  of  those  quiet  men  who  says  little  but  does  much. 
There  is  not  a  soiled  hair  from  the  tip  of  Kinney  Lou's 
etrs  to  the  heel  of  his  hind  hoofs  when  Forbes  gets 
through  with  him  and  the  white  on  his  hind  ankles  is  as 
spotless  as  pure  snow.  Those  who  saw  the  horse  when 
he  first  returned  from  tbe  East,  with  but  little  flesh  on 
him,  and  his  skin  lumpy  and  blotchy  as  the  result  of 
the  catarrhal  fever  he  had  been  afflicted  with,  would 
not  recognize  him  now  in  tbe  perfectly  ordered  and 
immaculate  coated  equine  that  shares  with  Lou  Dillon 
the  stalls  that  are  the  centre  of  attraction  now  at  the 
San  Jose  track.  One  cannot  help  but  wish,  as  he 
looks  them  over,  that  he  might  own  a  foal  from  Lou 
Dillon  and  sired  by  Kinney  Lou.  It  would  be  a  "Lou 
Lou"  to  a  moral  certaintv. 


Fred  Chadbourne,  who  is  working  a  string  of 
twenty-odd  horses  at  Pleasanton,  took  a  needed  day 
off  last  Saturday  and  visited  the  San  Jose  track. 
From  him  I  got  the  information  that  the  Longworth 
pacer  worked  in  the  Salisbury  string  this  winter,  but 
turned  over  to  Chadbourne  when  that  string  left  for 
the  East,  is  Alford  D.  and  not  Alford  C.  Fred  tells 
me  these  two  horses  are  both  by  Longworth.  Alford 
D.  is  a  dark  bay  horse  fully  16  hands  and  will  weigh 
about  1150  pounds.  He  worked  a  mile  for  DeRyder 
in  2:09£  before  the  latter  went  East,  and  had  been 
priced  to  James  Butler  by  his  owner,  Mrs.  Dietz  of 
Oakland,  for  $5000.  Butler  got  the  idea  that  as  Alford 
D.  had  been  raced  he  might  be  of  the  sucker  order, 
and  refused  to  write  his  check,  but  Mr.  Salisbury  was 
anxious  to  take  him  nevertheless.  Alford  D. 's  owner 
refused  to  let  him  go,  however,  unless  the  coin  was 
paid  in  advance,  and  her  representative  visited  Pleas- 
anton and  turned  him  over  to  Chadbourne.  Fred 
thinks  pretty  well  of  him  and  would  like  to  race  him 
here,  but  no  definite  arrangements  to  that  end  have 
been  made.  A'ford  D.  has  a  record  of  2:12£.  Alford 
C.  is  a  black  horse  and  his  record  is  2:12A.  A  letter 
from  Mr.  J.  H.  Thompson  of  Riverside,  Cal.,  received 
after  the  above  was  written,  corroborates  what  Fred 
Chadbourne  says  about  the  two  horses  and  adds  that 
Alford  C  2:12£  was  owned  by  him,  was  sold  and  went 
to  El  Paso,  Texas,  for  a  while,  but  is  now  owned  at 
Highland,  California. 


No  owners  in  California  get  any  more  keen  enjoy, 
ment  out  of  their  horses  than  Capt  J.  H.  Bennett 
and  his  partner,  Capt.  H.  W.  Goodall,  members  of 
the  firm  of  Bennett  &  Gcodall  of  this  city.  The  two 
visit  San  Jose  every  Saturday  to  work  out  their 
horses — Dr.  Hammond  2:12J,  owned  by  Capt.  Bennett, 
and  the  pacer  Uncle  John,  owned  by  Capt.  Goodall. 
Both  these  horses  are  by  Charles  Derby  and  were  bred 
at  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm.  Dr.  Hammond  took 
his  mark  at  Salem,  Oregon,  in  1903,  but  did  not  start 
last  year.  Uncle  John  started  once  last  season,  but 
failed  to  get  a  record.  They  are  looking  in  prime 
condition  at  present  and  on  Saturday  worked  a  nice 
mile  in  2:16J,  although  Capt.  Goodall  denies  going 
that  fast,  as  he  was  a  little  behind  at  the  finish.  Dr. 
Hammond  was  always  a  fast  horse,  and  his  condition 
this  spring  is  batter  than  it  ever  has  been,  so  the 
chances  for  a  reduction  in  his  record  are  very  good. 


One  of  the  nicest  big  mares  in  training  in  California 
this  year  is  Mrs.  Frank  H  Burke's  Wanda  II,  an  own 
sister  to  The  Roman  2:09J.  She  is  a  square  going 
nice  mannered  trotter  and  if  no  accident  happens  her 
will  by  the  close  of  next  year,  put  another  2:10  per- 
performer  to  the  credit  of  old  Wanda  2:14J — one  of 
the  favorite  trotters  of  her  day  in  California.  Pat 
Davis  is  caring  for  and  driving  this  young  mare  and 
has  three  or  four  others  out  of  Wanda  tbat  will  be 
record  members  of  her  family.  One  by  Iran  Alto  is 
considered  "the  goods."  Solita  an  own  sister  to 
Wanda  broke  her  leg  at  the  Burke  La  Siesta  Farm 
last  week  and  had  to  be  shot.  Solita  had  a  trotting 
record  of  2:27  and  was  one  of  five  standard  performers 
produced  by  the  great  broodmare  Accident  by  Elmo 

Mr.  F.  S.  Granger,  the  new  manager  of  the  San 
Jose  track  is  working  quite  a  force  of  men  on  the 
improvements.  A  big  archway  has  been  erected  at 
the  entrance  to  the  grounds,  the  avenue  leading  from 
this  gate  to  the  track  has  been  widened,  graded  and 
graveled,  the  grandstand  is  being  newly  roofed,  and 
painters  will  soon  be  at  work  on  all  the  buildings. 
When  the  work  which  Mr.  Granger  has  laid  out  is 
done,  San  Jose  track  will  be  the  most  complete  and 
best  appointed  In  the  State  for  training  horses  as  well 
a>  for  racing.  The  big  grove  of  trees  within  the 
grounds  is  to  be  fenced  and  made  into  a  resort  for 
picnics,  etc.  Quite  a  number  of  new  stalls  will  be 
erected  and  tbe  entire  premises  cleaned  up  and  made 
neat. 

Secretary  A.  W.Bruner  and  Ed  U.  Smith,  of  the 
Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association,  reached  San 
Francisco  this  week  on  a  tour  of  tbe  State  in  the  in- 


terest of  the  big  meeting  their  association  will  hold 
during  the  first  week  in  July  The  Los  Angeles  people 
go  about  things  in  the  right  manner.  They  are 
boomers  and  boosters  from  habit  and  principle,  and 
whether  they  are  in  the  real  estate  or  the  horse  busi- 
ness they  attend  to  business  in  a  way  that  arouses 
enthusiasm  among  those  with  whom  they  come  in 
contact.  They  are  thoroughly  interested  themselves, 
perfectly  confident  that  success  will  follow  their 
efforts,  and  naturally  everyone  is  glad  to  see  them  and 
ready  to  get  in  and  help  them  boost.  Mr.  Bruner 
tells  me  tbe  horsemen  have  received  him  and  Mr. 
Smith  with  open  arms  wherever  they  have  been  and 
they  are  assured  of  a  nice  fist  of  entries  and  the 
biggest  harness  horse  meeting  California  has 
seen  for  many  a  day.  They  have  visited  Fresno, 
Sacramento,  Woodland,  Dixon,  Santa  Rosa,  San  Jose, 
San  Francisco  and  Pleasanton  besides  taking  many 
side  trips  to  small  towns  along  the  route  and  say  that 
it  is  the  same  thing  everywhere — nothing  but  good 
words  ftnd  praise  for  the  new  association  of  Los  Ange- 
les horsemen  who  have  put  up  their  money  to  the 
tune  of  $15,000  in  cash  to  assure  the  success  of  the 
opening  meeting  of  the  circuit. 


If  this  meeting  is  the  success  they  hope  it  will  be, 
and  it  don't  take  a  fortune  teller  to  make  a  certain 
prediction  that  it  will  be  greater  than  they  figure  on, 
they  propose  giving  a  meeting  in  November  that  will 
he  a  fitting  close  to  the  year's  harness  racing  in  the 
United  States.  They  have  already  received  assurance 
that  five  of  the  big  Grand  Circuit  Stables  will  come  to 
Los  Angeles  in  November  and  take  part  in  the  fall 
meeting,  and  they  expect  to  draw  some  of  the  fastest 
trotters  and  pacers  in  the  country  to  their  city  to 
winter  each  year.  Mr.  Bruner  says  that  the  Los 
Angeles  association  aspires  to  eventually  give  two 
$5000  purses  each  year,  one  for  trotters  and  one  for 
pacer=,  that  will  draw  the  best  horses  from  the  Grand 
Circuit  to  the  Los  Angeles  November  meeting.  These 
Southern  California  horse  enthusiasts  deserve  all  the 
support  and  encouragement  that  horse  owners  and 
trainers  can  give  them.  They  have  instilled  new  life 
into  harness  racing  on  the  Coast  and  made  a  good 
circuit  possible.  We  hope  they  will  be  nble  to  organize 
a  California  Circuit,  as  has  been  often  suggested,  and 
to  which  idea  they  have  given  their  endorsement. 
If  they  ever  take  hold  of  the  proposition  they  will  do 
it.  Such  a  circuit  is  sadly  needed  here,  and  all  tbat  is 
required  is  competent  leadership  to  make  it  a  go. 


There  is  much  talk  about  Helen  Keys  the  green  five- 
year-old  mare  by  Sidney  Dillon  tbat  went  East  in  the 
Butler  string  and  that  Charley  DeRyder,  Mr.  Butler's 
trainer,  thinks  is  capable  of  a  mile  in  2:05  this  year  if 
she  starts,  which  is  doubtful,  as  they  now  intend  keep- 
ing her  over  until  next  year.  She  is  out  of  a  mare  by 
Piedmont,  but  none  connected  with  the  Butler  stables 
knew  just  what  mare,  and  as  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm 
had  three  or  four  mares  by  that  horse,  the  identity  of 
Helen  Keys'  dam  could  not  be  established  by  anyone 
in  the  Butler  stables.  I  met  George  Ramage  of 
Pleasanton  one  day  this  week,  and  knowing  that  he 
was  with  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  for  years  and 
knew  every  mare  and  foal  tbat  was  produced  there  up 
to  the  time  of  Henry  Pierce's  death,  T  asked  him 
about  Helen  Keys'  dam.  "Helen's  dam  is  Diva  by 
Piedmont,"  he  replied,  her  second  dam  Prima  Donna 
by  Mohawk  Chief,  and  ber  third  dam  old  Mater  Occi- 
dentis,  the  dam  of  Occident  2:16|,  once  the  worlas 
champion  trotter."  Diva  was  bred  at  Palo  Alto  Farm 
and  sold  to  Mr.  Pierce  years  ago.  Nearly  all  her  foals 
have  been  fillies.  She  has  had  two  or  three  by 
Directive  a  son  of  Director  and  one  or  two  by  L.  W. 
Russell,  son  of  Stamboul.  Helen  Keyes  was  purchased 
at  a  sale  of  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  horses  in  June 
1903,  by  Mr.  Gray  of  Oakland.  She  was  a  three-year- 
old  at  that  time  and  the  price  paid  for  her  was  $230. 
She  was  inclined  to  pace  at  times  but  trotting  was  ber 
favorite  gait  and  she  moved  like  a  piece  of  machinery 
as  a  three-year-old,  worked  with  an  open  bridle  and 
seemed  afraid  of  nothing.  She  stands  nearly  15.3  and 
while  like  Lou  Dillon  in  color  and  markings  is  a  much 
larger  mare  every  way.  H.

500  horses.  

The  Grand  Circuit  openB  at  Detroit  July  24th,  and 
promises  some  of  the  best  racing  seen  in  years.  There 
is  a  demand  for  horses  of  Grand  Circuit  calibre  that 
cannot  be  supplied.       

Miss  Georgie  2:11£  by  McKinney,  dam  Georgie  B. 
2:12ft  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16i  \b  working  well  for 
Ted  Hayes  this  year  and  is  credited  with  a  mile  in  2:10 
recently  at  Los  Angeles. 


Hon.  A.  T.  Van  de  Vanter  of  Seattle,  who  has  been 
bo  seriously  ill  for  months  past  is  now  so  far  recovered 
as  to  be  up  and  about.  His  many  friends  in  California 
hope  to  see  him  restored  to  his  usual  health  and  be 
able  to  make  his  usual  trip  down  here  in  the  fall. 


Geo.  Algeo's  horse  Mixer,  that  won  a  heat  at  Oak- 
land track  Butchers'  Day,  i-  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  out 
of  Lew  G  by  Albert  W.  and  is  a  full  brother  to  Bob 
Ingersol  2:14|  and  Who  Is  She  2:25.  If  put  in  a  com- 
petent trainers  hands  this  horse  should  pace  below 
2:20  without  much  trouble  and  2:15  should  not  stop 
him.  

If  there  is  anything  in  breeding  the  handsome  filly 
Lilly  Dillon  by  Sidney  Dillon  out  of  the  great  brood- 
mare Lilly  Stanley  2:17£  that  is  in  Mr.  Zibbell's  string 
at  San  Jose  ghould  trot  fast,  and  she  gives  every  sign 
of  doing  it.  Lilly  Stanley  was  a  great  race  mare  in 
her  day  and  has  produced  Rokeby  2:13|,  Beet  2:16£ 
and  On  Stanley  2:17J. 


Fourteen  horses  belonging  to  Sterling  R.  Holt's 
Maywood  Stock  Farm  are  in  training  at  Memphis. 
Among  them  is  the  four-year-old  Sterling  McKinney 
and  several  two,  three  and  four-year-olds  by  Rex 
Americus2:ll£.  These  are  all  coming  along  very  well 
for  trainer  Charles  Maberry  and  a  number  of  good 
campaigners  should  develop. 


A  rumor  was  prevalent  around  Oakland  and  San 
Francisco  last  week  to  the  effect  that  Mr.  C  A. 
Durfee,  former  owner  of  McKinney  2:11^,  had  been 
exposed  to  automobilious  fever  during  the  past  week 
and  was  showing  symptoms  of  having  a  slight  attack. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  that  nothing  serious  will  develop  as 
it  is  feared  the  disease  would  go  very  hard  with  him. 


John  Phippen  has  nearly  twenty  head  of  trotters 
and  pacers  in  bis  string  at  San  Jose,  several  of  which 
will  be  raced  this  year.  A  pacer  called  Fred  Chase 
works  like  a  winner  already. 


J.  C.  Linneman,  President  of  the  Lima,  O  ,  Driving 
Club  and  a  well  known  Ohio  breeder,  has  been  elected 
to  fill  the  vacancy  in  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Appeals 
of  the  American  Trotting  Association  caused  by  the 
death  of  J.  W.  Fleming,  of  Columbus,  O. 


William  Leech  of  Marysville  has  recently  engaged 
in  the  hardware  business  there  and  is  doing  well.  He 
is  breeding  a  few  horses  every  year  and  will  work  a 
few  this  summer  among  them  Baron  Bretto  39103. 
Silver  Bellp,  Hiawatha  and  Ancona  by  a  son  of  Mc- 
Kinney. His  mare  Jennette  by  Ottawa  recently 
dropped  a  dark  bay  colt  by  Baron  Bretto  that  is  a 
good  looker  and  should  be  a  fast  one. 


A  correspondent  writing  from  Marysville  says  that 
a  Driving  Club  is  being  organized  there  with  twenty- 
five  names  of  the  citizens  of  the  town  aiready  on  the 
roll,  and  it  is  bound  to  be  a  success.  The  Marysville 
track  has  recently  been  put  in  good  shape  for  work- 
ing horses,  and  much  interest  is  being  taken  in  train- 
ing bv  the  breeders  and  owners  of  that  section.  It  is 
desired  to  hold  a  two-day  meeting  for  local  horses  in 
June.  There  are  some  fast  horses  owned  in  Yuba  and 
Sutter  counties,  and  the  announcement  of  a  local 
meeting  will  put  many  of  them  in  training. 

Mr.  P.  W.  Bellingall  was  at  the  San  Jose  track,  last 
Saturday,  driving  his  mare  by  Secretary  that  Jack 
Groom  is  caring  for  this  year  and  is  being  bred  to 
Budd  Doble's  stallion  Kinney  Lou.  This  mare  has  a 
burst  of  speed  at  the  trot  that  is  not  exceeded  by  any 
horse  at  the  San  Jose  track,  barring  Lou  Dillon,  but 
she  was  spoiled  when  a  filly  and  is  difficult  to  control. 
She  outbrushed  a  trotter  in  the  stretch,  last  Satur- 
day, that  was  timed  the  last  quarter  in  32J  seconds 
and  was  pulling  a  heavy  cart.  Her  foal  next"  year  by 
Kinney  Lou  should  be  worth  a  lot  of  money. 


Peo  2.21,  the  game  little  pacer  owned  by  Chas.  W. 
Paine  of  the  Fashion  Stable,  Sacramento,  fell  and 
broke  his  neck  on  the  Riverside  road  near  that  city 
one  day  last  week.  An  automobile  came  teaming 
toward  him  and  he  shied  a  little  and  tripped,  falling 
with  the  result  stated.  Peo  was  ab1  ut  seventeen  years 
old  but  was  known  as  the  King  of  the  Riverside,  and 
few  horses  could  head  him  pulling  two  in  a  buggy.. 


M.  D  Wisdom,  editor  of  that  excellent  journal  the 
Rural  Spirit  of  Portland,  Oregon,  and  Superintendent 
of  the  Live  Stock  exhibit  at  the  Lewis  &  Clark  Ex- 
hibition, reached  San  Francisco  this  week  on  a  visit 
to  the  leading  live  stock  breeders  of  this  State  in  the 
interests  of  the  big  exposition.  Mr.  Wisdom  reports 
that  California  breeders  will  be  well  represented  at  the 
show  which  will  be  the  greatest  ever  held  on  the  Coast. 


At  Phoenixviile,  Pa.,  there  is  in  training  a  black 
pacer  called  Black  Dart  that  should  do  He  is  by 
Directum  2:05£  from  MisB  Copeland  2:25£,  dam  of 
Copeland  2:09i,  and  grandam  of  Major  Delmar   1:59$. 

The  Los  Angeles  people  are  making  an  effort  to 
make  their  track  a  winter  resort  for  Eastern  horse- 
men. It  is  said  that  four  or  five  Grand  Circuit  strings 
will  winter  there  after  the  close  of  the  racing  season 
of  1905.  

It  is  probable  that  Mr.  J.  De  La  Montanya's  horses, 
now  in  training  by  Jack  Curry  at  San  Jose,  may  not 
cross  the  mountains  this  year  but  race  in  California. 
The  more  prominent  members  of  the  string  are  Tuna 
2:08*,  Brilliant  Girl  and  Bain,  all  trotters. 


The  handsomest  picture  of  the  great  mare  Sweet 
Marie  2:05|  that  we  have  yet  seen  is  one  taken  by  Mrs. 
C.  L.  Jones  of  Modesto,  during  a  recent  visit  to  Los 
Angeles  in  company  with  her  husband,  who  is  pro- 
prietor of  the  Jennie  Lee  Stock  Farm.  Mrs.  Jones  is 
strictly  an  amateur  with  the  camera  and  her  Los 
Angeles  pictures  are  among  her  first  attempts.  We 
will  produce  this  picture  in  the  pages  of  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman  at  a  future  date. 


Jack  Curry  visited  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Fsrm  last 
week  and  purchased  for  another  party  the  two  four- 
year-old  McKinney  stallions  Carakina  out  of  Biscarl 
by  Director,  and  Ruskin  out  of  Russie  Russell  by 
Bay  Rose.  The  first  named  is  a  pacer  and  the  other 
a  trotter.  The  pacer  is  one  of  the  best  prospects  in 
California  and  is  one  of  the  best  bred  McKinneys 
living.  The  horses  were  shipped  to  San  Jose  and  will 
join  the  string  of  Mr.  de  la  Montanya  if  his  horses  are 
shipped  East  

There  is  no  class  of  horses  anywhere  in  the  world 
today  nearly  so  popular  as  the  trotters,  and  as  years 
pass 'on  their  popularity  will  still  increase,  says  an  ex- 
change. As  long  as  speed  commands  the  price  it  does 
there  is  nothing  hazardous  in  breeding  for  and  pro- 
ducing it.  The  usefulness  of  the  trotter  when  devoid 
of  a  great  amount  of  speed  makes  the  chances  in 
breeding  this  class  of  horses  still  less  risky,  for  a  well 
bred  trotting  horse  of  moderate  speed  usually  makes 
valuable  carriage,  farm  and  road  stock. 


Early  this  month  W.  O.  McCann,  manager  of  the 
Hartman  Stock  Farm  stables  at  Albany,  Oregon, 
shipped  two  of  his  best  stallions  to  Montague,  Cal  , 
where  they  will  be  kept.  Ogolin,  a  black  Percheron, 
is  one  of  them  and  was  sold  for  $4400,  and  the  other  is 
a  dapple  gray  which  was  purchased  for  $3800.  both 
going  to  Mrs.  L.  Terwilleger's  stock  farm  near  Monta- 
gue. Under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  McCann  a  branch 
barn  for  the  Hartman  farm  has  been  established  at 
Eureka,  California,  the  same  to  be  the  home  of  some 
of  the  stallions  now  in  the  Albany  stable. 


Professor  Osborn  says  that  right  in  the  British 
Isles  has  been  discovered,  as  a  new  series,  the  Celtic 
pony.  This  is  a  finely  built  animal,  with  an  Arab-like 
head,  eyes  to  the  fore,  well  shaped  muzzle,  and  a  well- 
set  tail;  the  chestnuts  are  reduced  or  entirely  missing 
and  the  wolf  teeth  are  absent.  The  mares  are  fertile 
only  with  stallions  that  have  some  Celtic  blood  in 
them.  The  Shetland  pony  does  not  belong  to  this 
tribe.  

The  new  half-mile  track  which  has  recently  been 
constructed  near  San  Lorenzo  on  the  property  of  Mr. 
John  Marlin,  and  which  was  built  under  the  personal 
supervision  of  Mr.  P.  J.  Williams,  the  veteran  horse- 
man and  owner  of  Monterey  2:09£,  is  pronounced  a 
fine  track  by  those  who  have  seen  it.  Twenty  stalls 
have  been  erected,  and  there  will  be  a  demand  for 
more.  Mr.  Williams  is  training  three  young  MontereyR 
there.  

Laud  Gates,  a  young  stock  breeder  of  Modesto,  who 
has  quite  a  love  for  a  good  trotter,  has  his  mare  Dew- 
drop  by  Richard's  Elector  in  Willard  Zibbell's  string 
at  San  Jose  and  visits  the  Garden  City  once  in  a  while 
to  see  her  work  out.  Dewdrop  trotted  a  nice  mile  in 
2:23,  last  week,  and  beats  her  former  trial  every  time 
she  is  given  a  mile.  Willard  says  she  can  go  a  full 
mile  at  any  rate  of  speed  she  can  show  for  a  quarter 
and  can  go  several  of  them. 

C.  C.  Crippen  has  a  string  of  four  horses  at  the  San 
Jose  track  that  he  is  getting  into  condition  to  show 
speed  with.  He  has  an  iron  gray  mare  by  Leonel 
2:17£,  out  of  Lady  Dwyer  by  Men]o,  second  dam 
Silver,  the  dam  of  Marin  Jr.  2:13  and  Hattie  F.  2:is, 
by  Silverthreads  third  dam  Gertrude,  dam  of  Native 
Son  2:29i,  by  The  Moor,  that  is  one  of  the  handsom- 
est trotters  in  California.  She  would  be  a  prize  win- 
ner in  any  buggy  horse  parade. 

A  couple  of  Alameda  county  Portuguese  who  own 
pretty  good  roadsters  decided  a  $200  match  race 
between  their  trotters  last  Sunday  on  the  five-eighths 
track  at  16th  street,  Oakland.  All  the  drivers  of 
vegetable  wagons  in  the  county  were  present  with 
their  friends  and  acquaintances.  There  were  prob- 
ably 2000  in  the  crowd  when  the  race  came  off  The 
winner,  a  hay  mare,  won  her  two  heats  in  2:00  and  1:55. 
The  distance  was  three-quarters  of  a  mile. 


Massachusetts  was  always  the  center  of  the  trotting 
horse  interests  of  the  country,  says  an  Eastern  turf 
writer.  Back  in  the  fifties,  in  Cambridge,  Mass.,  was 
a  mile  track,  the  first  in  New  England,  and  it  was 
there  that  many  of  the  most  noted  knights  of  the 
sulky  first  became  famous.  Old  Hiram  Woodruff,  in 
company  with  George  Wasseon,  ran  the  track  for 
several  seasons.  It  was  there,  too,  that  "Bill"  Wood- 
ruff first  mounted  the  sulky.  And  Carpenter,  and 
his  two  sons,  Tom  and  John,  trained  and  raced  there 
as  did  Dan  and  Ben  Mace.  It  was  also  a  great  place 
for  foot  racing.  About  1856,  John  Stetson,  who  later 
became  a  power  in  the  theatrical  world,  ran  a  ten  mile 
race  for  a  large  purse  against  a  New  York  crack  and 
was  defeated  by  nearly  a  mile,  much  to  the  disgust  of 
the  Boston   sports,  who  had  backed  Stetson  heavily. 


Pat  Foley  is  keeping  busy  at  the  Alameda  track 
where  he  is  standing  the  two  good  McKinney  stallions 
Montesol  and  Pole  Star  and  also  training  a  number 
of  high  class  youngsters-  He  has  the  handsome  three-

up  the  trotting  mare  Lady  Grannard  (3)2:23  by  Mc- 
Kinney out  of  Igo  by  Antevolo  2:19  and  will  probably 
race  her  this  year.  She  has  developed  into  a  hand- 
some big  mare,  is  sound  and  in  good  shape  apparently 
and  should  trot  to  a  fast  record  this  fall  as  she  beat 
2:18  in  her  three-year-old  form  and  has  shown  quarters 
at  a  2:05  clip.  

Horsemen  are  coming  more  and  more  to  realize  the 
fact  that  Yolo  county  offers  great  opportunities  for 
them,  says  the  Woodland  Mail.  This  was  shown  in 
the  establishment  of  the  Woodland  Stock  Farm  by 
Alex  Brown  at  the  local  race  track  and  that  of  the 
Yolo  County  Stock  Farm  by  John  Mackey  and  Walter 
Jehnings  Now  comes  the  announcement  that  another 
farm  for  stock  breeding  purposes  is  to  be  established. 
E.  J  DePue  of  the  Yolo  Orchard  and  G.  H.  Sprague 
of  Sonoma  county  are  the  prime  mnvers  in  the  new 
entprprise.  They  have  leased  the  W.  E  Lowe  ranch 
of  80  acres,  known  as  the  Eakle  Farm,  and  will  begin 
operations  about  October  1st.  Messrs  DePue  and 
Sprague  have  been  engaged  in  the  stock  breeding 
business  in  Sonoma  county  for  some  time,  but  they 
will  now  move  all  of  their  stock  to  their  new  farm. 
They  have  two  stallions  and  twenty-nine  mares,  all  of 
high  class,  and  expect  to  increase  graduallv.  They 
will  erect  a  number  of  buildings  requisite  to  the  suc- 
cess of  the  business.  The  farm  will  be  devoted 
principally  to  the  breeding  of  coach  horses  They 
own  the  hackney  stallion  Manchester  and  a  number 
of  well  bred  trotting  mares. 


Mr.  T.  J.  Crowley,  one  of  the  Directors  of  the  P.  C. 
T.  H.  B.  A.,  had  great  hopes  of  having  a  colt  of  his 
breeding  start  in  the  Breeders  Futurity  foi  three- 
year-olds  this  year,  but  the  colt  took  sick  during  the 
winter  and  at  present  does  not  look  as  though  he 
could  be  ready  for  that  important  event  Pemberton, 
as  the  colt  is  called,  has  lately  been  sent  to  Jack 
Groom  at  San  Jose,  and  will  have  every  opportunity 
to  get  into  condition  if  possible,  but  the  time  is  rather 
short.  Pemberton  is  gaining  flesh  under  Groom's 
good  care,  but  it  will  take  several  weeks  to  make  bim 
look  as  round  and  plump  as  a  threp-year-old  ought  to 
look  when  in  shape.  The  disease  left  htm  weak,  and 
the  blotches  around  his  npek  and  jowls  show  that  he 
had  a  pretty  severe  attack.  He  is  a  tall,  angular 
fellow  now.  but  his  trainer  says  he  is  a  natural-born 
trotter  and  he  would  have  great  hopes  of  getting 
some  of  the  money  with  him  were  he  entirety  well 
and  strong.  He  is  a  richly  bred  one.  being  by  Bnv- 
dello  2:145  out  of  Lottie  Parks  2:16$  by  Cupid  2:18, 
and  therefore  related  to  both  the  only  two-minute 
trotters.  Groom's  string  is  growing.  He  has  the  old 
campaigner  Liegp  2:12*  looking  better  than  ever,  and 
will  get  some  of  the  2:13  class  money  with  h!

Butchers'  Day  Races. 


The  twelfth  annual  picnic  of  the  Butchers'  Board 
of  Trade  was  held  in  Oakland  Wednesday  of  this 
week  and  as  usual  an  enormous  crowd  of  the  meat 
dealers  and  their  friends  made  their  way  to  the  track 
to  watoh  the  races  or  across  the  way  to  Shellmound 
Park,  where  dancing,  games  and  "long  steams''  were 
the  principal  features.  It  was  a  big,  good  natured 
crowd,  t  bat  was  out  for  a  good  time,  and  the  fun  lasted 
from  noon  to  midnight.  There  were  seventeen  races 
on  the  card,  including  events  for  harness  horses,  run- 
ners, broncos,  mules  and  steers  and  the  whole  thing 
was  rather  on  the  catch  as  catch  can  plan  owiDg  to 
the  variety  of  tbe  races  and  the  lack  of  time,  but  no 
complaints  were  heard  and  do  one  seemed  to  take  the 
affair  seriously.  The  harness  events  were  well  con- 
tested and  eveiy  race  was  enteresliDg  as  most  of  the 
entries  were  owned  by  local  amateurs  who  were  all 
out  for  the  long  end  of  the  purse.  Moss  of  the  events 
were  mixed  affairs  and  tbe  lime  was  very  good  con- 
sidering the  condition  of  tbe  track.  Dick  Havey  did 
the  starting,  and  the  judges  were  L.  Buckley,  I.  Poly, 
Tom  Horn  and  Geo.  Call.  Following  is  a  summary  of 
the  b  irness  events:

Sidmore  and  Marchioness. 

Two  weeks  ago  we  printed  a  letter  from  Mr.  John 

Oil,    of    I'uli Cal.,    Inquiring    about    the    mare 

Marchioness  as  to  whether  she  was  sired  by  his  horse 
Sidmon-  B:17|.  She  Is  given  In  the  Year  Book  as  by 
Sldmore,  and  from  tbe  following  letter  from  F.  Haney 
written  to  Mr  Oil  and  printed  at  his  request,  we 
judge  that  there  would  be  little  trouble  about  estab- 
lishing the  fact.  Tbe  Year  Book  gives  the  year  of 
Bldmore'a  foaling,  however,  as  1890,  and  If  this  Is 
correct  he  could  not  bo  the  sire  of  Marchioness  who 
l.il  in  1«9I  Mr.  Haney,  however,  states  ho 
was  foaled  In  1898  It  is  possible  the  War  Book  Is 
incorrect  In  this  Mamie  Harney  had  a  foal  In  1888 
by  Sid  iey  and  we  believe  she  had  two  or  three  foals 
by  thit  horse.  Her  foal  ol  1888  was  a  bay  with  near 
'ikle  white.     If  this  description  fits   Mr.  Ott's 


Sidmore,  he  is  undoubtedly  the  sire  of   Marchioness. 
Mr.  Haney 's  letter  follows: 

Modesto,  Cal.,  May  7, 1905. 
John  Ott,  Esq  ,  Pacheco, 

Dear  Sir:— I  noticed  an  article  in  tbe  Breeder 
and  SPORTSMAN  inquiring  about  Marchioness,  oDce 
owned  oy  tbe  late  Lee  Shaner.  I  know  a  great  deal 
about  the  mare  and  also  Sidmore,  as  I  was  a  trainer 
at  Petaluma  when  they  were  colts,  and  as  I  think  one 
horseman  should  help  another  will  give  you  the  in- 
formation. I  know  Marchioness  was  foaled  in  1890  or 
1S91 — I  am  not  sure  but  can  find  out.  She  has  a  two- 
year-old  record  of  2:29}  and  was,  I  think,  the  fastest 
yearling  the  world  has  ever  seen.  When  eleven 
months  old  she  trotted  a  quarter  of  a  mile  in  37.] 
seconds  to  harness,  and  could  show  a  2:16  clip  beside 
a  cart  with  jockey  stick,  the  way  Shaner  most  always 
worked  his  colts.    She  was  sired  by  Sidmore,  which  I 


Endorse  the  Selling  Race  Plan. 

Woodland,  Cal.,  May  14, 1905. 
Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — The  selling 
race  for  trotters  to  be  given  at  the  Breeders  meeting 
at  Fresno  has  been  discussed  very  freely  by  the  horse- 
men of  Woodland,  and  all  are  enthusiastic  for  that 
kind  of  a  race.  The  majority,  however,  favor  a 
slight  change  in  the  conditions.  In  order  to  prevent 
a  high-class  trotter  from  entering  this  race  (the  owner 
intending  to  reimburse  himself  in  the  pool  box  for 
more  than  one-half  of  what  the  horse  sells  for  over 
the  advertised  price)  it  is  proposed  to  have  all  the 
excess  money  go  to  the  association.  This  would  tend 
to  keep  out  horses  of  a   higher  calibre  than  the  race

knew  from  the  time  he  was  a  yearling.  His  name  was 
changed,  I  think,  three  times.  Shaner  first  called 
him  Jack  Dempsey,  then  Commodore,  then  Sidmore. 
He  was,  without  any  doubt,  as  fast  a  yearling  pacer 
as  ever  lived.  I  have  seen  him  pace  eighths  in  16 
seconds,  a  2:08  clip,  when  a  yearling,  and  could  score 
up  with  the  fastest  trotters  at  tbe  Petaluma  track. 
I  saw  him  score  with  Arab  2:15  and  Conde  2:19,  and 
they  were  the  fastest  trotters  we  had  there.  That 
was  to  high  wheel  sulky.  Sidmore  was  foaied  in  1888. 
I  saw  Marchioness  trot  a  quarter  in  30  seconds  when 
in  Millard  Sanders' hands,  driven  by  Charles  James 
on  the  Lodi  track  to  a  cart.  Only  for  ber  being  a  bad 
actor,  she  would  have  had  a.  fast  mark.  Sanders  took 
ber  East  and  sold  her  In  1895.  Sid  more  sired  another 
very  fast  trotter  nam^d  General.  I  don't  know  what 
lis  mark  is.  hut  I  think  better  than  2:15.  He  has 
been  campaigned  Et-'fo-  three  years.  I  tjrink  be 
»as  campaigned  in  1895  by  Cbaries  James  w*ho  went 
East  with  Sanders  about  that  time.  He  wnn  some 
large  stakes  ani  was  a  great  race  horse  -You  can 
find  him  in  tbe  Year  Book.  He  was  named  after  W. 
P  Fine,  now  a  running  horse  man  of  Oakland,  who 
went  by  the  iume  of  General  fine.  I  think  he  raised 
him  The  Sidmore  you  have  is  the  sire  of  these  two 
that  I  know  I  can  find  yon  plenty  of  proof  il  it  will 
be  of  any  value  to  you.  Sidmore  went  wrong  in  tbe 
legs  or  he  would  have  had  a  fast  murk.  Th'elast  time 
I  saw  him  pass  was  at  Sacramento  in  1S94.  I  think 
be  won  third  or  fourth  money.  I  was  talkiog  with 
Shaner  the  next  week  at  Stockton  and  he  wanted  to 
sell  me  the  horse.  He  told  me  he  thought  he  would 
be  a  great  sire  as  tbe  only  two  colts  of  bis  that  had 
been  worked  were  both  fast 

Very  respectfully  yours, 

_  F.  Haney. 

P.  S  —  There  might  have  been  another  Commodore, 
but  1  never  knew  of  it,  and  I  do  know  what  I  have 
just  told  you.  I  believe  General  has  a  mark  of  2:10, 
but  am  not  sure.     Can  find  out  though.  F.  H.

the  touts  and  tipsters  from  getting  a  line  on  the  more

pacers  should  not  be  overlooked  on  tl.is  selling  race 
proposition  Have  a  2:20  class  pace,  owner  of  winner 
to  start  him  at  $300;  quite  a  number  here  say  $200. 
With  first  money  added  the  winner  would  bring 
more,  probably,  than  is  being  asked  for  the  horse 
today,  with  no  buyers  It  certainly  looks  as  if  the 
selling  race  scheme  was  a  good  one  for  owners, 
breeders,  trainers  and  the  public.  Th6  latter  will- 
have  a  chance  to  buy  good  horses  at  a  reasonable 
price  and  with  selling  races  as  a  regular  thing  on  tbe 
program  it  will  be  conducive  to  the  scattering  of  fast 
horses  among  a  class  of  people  who  now  don't  know 
the  delight  of  owning  one.  Mr.  Hogoboom,  Mr.  Free- 
man and,  in  fact,  a  majority  of  the  owners  and 
trainers  favor  a  $500  purse  for  2:25  trotters,  winner  to 
sell  for  $300  A  2:20  pace,  $500  purse,  winner  to  sell 
for  $i00 — all  over  selling  price  to  go  to  tbe  association.

[In  regard  to  the  suggestion  that  all  the  excess 
money  go  to  the  association,  we  will  state  that  tbe 
recommendation  made  last  week  that  one-half  of  it 
be  paid  to  the  winner  was  an  error.  It  should  have 
read  one-half  to  the  owner  of  the  second  horse. —

Commending   the  Mule. 


A  Missouri  paper  says:  "Our  advice  to  Missouri  is, 
don't  buy  automobiles:  buy  mules."  This  blast  of 
wisdom  is  based  upon  a  prediction  of  government  au- 
thorities that  next  year  picked  mules  will  be  worth 
$230  and  draught  mules,  will  be  in  demand  at  $200 
each.  The  mule  has  become  a  social  and  economic 
necessity.  As  one  enthusiastic  writer  puts  it,  "Tbe 
mule  is  fittest,  hence  it  is  bound  to  survive.  Long 
after  the  last  human  being  has  been  kicked  off  the 
face  of  the  earth  by  the  tentative,  prehensile  flipper 
of  a  Missouri  mule,  that  stanch  animal  will  roam  and 
bray  through  the  hills  and  continue  to  command  the 
top  of  the  market."

Memphis  Track  News. 

The  track  record  for  the  past  three  or  four  weeks 
has  been  held  by  the  pacer  Terrace  Queen,  but  this 
week  a  trotter  was  in  extra  fine  fettle  and  George  G., 
in  the  stable  of  Ed  Geers  and  owned  by  a..  N.  Brady 
of  New  York,  lowered  the  track  record  this  spring  by 
trotting  a  mile  in  2:1U,  with  the  last  half  in  1:03}. 
After  this  workout  all  the  clocker3  and  railbirds  im- 
mediately crowned  him  the  "Fastest  of  All  Trotters" 
for  the  season  of  1905  which  would  compete  in  races 
this  year.  Those  who  saw  George  work  in  1904  would 
not  recognize  the  same  horse,  as  this  year  be  is  one 
of  the  best-mannered  trotters  seen  in  many  a  day, 
while  last  year  he  was  inclined  to  break  and  do  the 
"balloon  ascension"  act  every  now  and  then.  George 
this  year  thinks  of  nothing  but  trotting,  and  if  he 
does  not  meet  with  any  accidents  he  will  have  the 
fastest  record  of  any  trotter — bar,  of  course,  the  two- 
minute  performers,  Lou  Dillon  and  Major  Delmar. 
This  gelding,  when  it  comes  to  looks,  manners,  gait 
and  general  conformation,  would  take  a  prize  at  a 
"beauty  show"  for  the  equines,  atd  there  is  not  the 
least  doubt  but  that  Ed  Geers  thinks  that  in  this 
horse  he  wiil  have  the  fastest  professional  trotter  of 
the  year. 

Ed  Benyon  is  not  decided  as  yet  as  to  where  he  will 
race,  in  the  East  or  in  the  West  Ed  has  made  a  lot 
of  entries  in  the  Grand  Circuit  stakes  but  later  on  be 
may  decide  that  he  will  confine  his  racing  operations 
to  the  West.  Ed  has  one  horse  in  his  barn  that  he  is 
willing  to  race  either  East  or  West  and  that  one  is 
the  fast  gelding  Dan  R.  2:01^.  Ed  so  far  has  not  asked 


Leon,  out  of  Valissa  2:19}  by  Vasco,  is  named  "Vice 
Admiral.  Spence  thinks  mighty  well  of  this  one,  he 
predicts  a  winning  career  for  the  "Navy"  named 
horse.  King  Sable,  the  three-year-old  bay  colt,  i3 
bred  on  the  speed-producing  lines,  as  he  is  by  Sable 
Wilkes  and  is  also  out  of  the  dam  of  Alix.  The  fifth 
and  last  member  of  the  string  is  named  Circus  Rider 
and  is  a  three-year-old  colt  by  Handspring  and  out  of 
Carrie  Rider  by  Judge  Rider.  Carrie  was  raced  by 
M.  E.  McHenry  several  years  ago  and  showed  a  lot 
of  speed  but  eventually  went  wrong  so  that  McHenry 
did  not  have  as  much  success  with  ter  as  he  predicted! 
Every  time  that  Millard  Sanders  works  either  his 
two  or  three-year-old  Axworthy  colts  be  gets  more 
enthusiastic  about  their  chances  of  stepping  fast 
miles  this  fall.  Millard  seems  to  have  a  knack, 
that  is  not  common  to  the  majority  of  trainers,  of 
gaining  the  confidence  of  the  colts  in  his  stable  and  of 
getting  the  youngsters  to  work  their  best.  Millard 
has  a  few  three-year-olds  that  are  not  only  good 
galted  but  can  show  a  clip  that  is  a  surprise  to  a  lot 
of  horsemen.  Millard  has  already  three  three- 
year-olds  to  beat  2:30  while  his  two-year-olds  have 
shown  fast  quarters.  The  three-year-old  by  Ax- 
worthy, out  of  Evonia,  named  Fanny  Avwortby, 
has  been  a  mile  in  2:25,  with  the  last  half  in  1:11. 
Dolly  Worthy  has  even  done  better  than  this  as  she 
has  been  a  mile  in  2:23)2,  with  a  half  in  1:09.  This 
one  is  getting  better  with  each  workout  and  Millard 
says  that  he  expects  to  see  this  filly  able  to  knock  off 
a  mile  that  would  be  able  to  win  races.  Flying 
Axworthy  is  really  the  pride  of  the  barn,  when  it 
comes    to  the  youngsters.    Flying    is   a    three-year-

Vance  Nuckols  said,  "I  am  regarded  as  a  hard 
trainer  at  the  Glenville  track,  but  you  have  not  seen 
me  stepping  them  very  hard  so  far  have  you?  I  don't 
know  why  I  deserved  the  title   that   was  banded   me

A  California-bred  Horse  that  Brought  the   Highest  Price  at  the  Recent  Portland  Sale 


Dan  to  step  off  any  fast  miles  as  a  mile  in  2:19  is  xhe 
best  that  he  has  done  this  year  but  he  is  perfectly 
willing  to  race  any  horse  in  the  country  mile  heats, 
two  in  three,  or  three  in  five.  If  anyone  desires  to 
race  Audubon  Boy,  Ecstatic  or  Hazel  Patch  against 
Dan  R.  Ed  is  perfectly  agreeable  to  match  for  as 
much  as  the  ordinary  match  it  made  for.  This  must 
not  be  considered  "Hoss  talk"  as  Dan  R.  is  not  a 
stallion  but  is  a  gelding  and  is  not  trying  to  boost  any 
horse  in  his  stable  but  thinks  that  Dan  has  an  edge 
over  any  of  the  horses  named  and  if  called  will  be  will- 
ing to  put  up  a  forfeit  that  shows  his  earnestness  in 
the  match.  Any  amount  forfeit  that  the  other  party 
desires  is  perfectly  desirable  to  Ed  and  is  willing  to 
race  on  any  track  the  opponent  desires. 

Edward  Appel,  of  Rochester,  X.  Y  ,  has  five  borses, 
in  the  charge  of  Louis  Spence,  that  are  being  trained 
here,  and  everyone  of  the  lot  shows  a  disposition  to 
show  speed.  Allie  Spring,  the  bay  four-year-old 
horse  by  Handspring  and  out  of  Atlanta  (the  dam  of 
Alix  2:03^),  is  a  nice  pacer  and  acts  as  though  when 
asked  to  do  so  would  show  a  lot  of  speed.  Spence  has 
not  been  a  mile  better  than  2:80  with  this  horse,  but 
is  confident  that  he  is  the  making  of  a  first  class 
horse.  Proud  Gambler  is  the  name  of  the  four-year- 
old  bay  horse  by  Prodigal,  out  of  Euline  2:14A  by 
Anteeo.  This  horse,  while  he  has  not  been  asked  to 
step  a  fast  clip,  shows  a  Dice  way  of  going.  His  dam 
Eoline  won  the  Kentucky  stakes  at  Lexington  in  1896 
from  quite  a  good  field  of  three-year  olds  and:  bred  as 
he  is,  should,  no  doubt,  make  quite  a  good  cam- 
paigner.   The  brown  four-year-old  horse  by  Ponce  de 


old  colt,  built  on  the  Shetland  pony  order  only  a 
tr.fle  larger.  He  is  out  of  Belleflower  2:12*4, 
and  can  show  a  clip  that  is  without  a  doubt  nothing 
short  of  sensational.  Millard  regards  this  colt  as 
tbe  star  youngster  of  the  year  and  the  other  day  he 
reeled  off  a  mile  in  2:25,  with  a  half  in  1:075£.  But 
he  stepped  the  last  quarter  in  321.2  seconds  in  such 
an  easy  way  that  Millard  thinks  that  a  mil6  in  2:10 
will  not  be  too  much  of  a  question  to  ask  this  colt  by 
fall.  This  is  the  youngster  for  which  an  offer  of 
$10,000  was  made*and  it  was  not  stage  money  at 
that.  But,  as  everyone  knows  who  is  acquainted 
with  the  horse  game,  John  H.  Shults  does  not  buy 
his  horses  except  at  public  auction  and  that  is  the 
only  way  he  sells  them.  He  does  not  thiDk  it  right 
to  break  his  rule  even  when  offered  a  large  sum  for 
a  colt  to  sell  him  privately.  Last  fall  during  the 
meeting  here  he  was  offered  $7500  for  Tom  Ax- 
worthy 2:08^4,  but  refused  to  sell  him  privately, 
and  when  be  brought  only  $4100  at  New  York  last 
fall  he  said:  'Is  that  tbe  gentleman  who  offered  me 
$7500  at  Memphis?  "  Millard  has  four  two-year-olds 
that  have  shown  quarters  in  geod  time.  Effle 
Worthy  out  of  Bellwood  A.,  has  been  a  quarter  in 
37  seconds.  The  filly  out  of  Octavia  by  Baron  Wilkes 
has  been  a  quarter  in  36%  seconds  and  Xelda  Worthy, 
out  of  Nell  by  Estill  Eric,  has  been  a  quarter  In  35 
seconds.  This  filly  is  a  full  sister  to  Tom  Axworthy. 
Ed  Geers  worked  Hal  Hardy  a  mile  in  2:19J.  This 
pacer  has  been  what  is  regarded  as  a  hard-luck  pacer 
as  he  gets  lame  when  least  expected  but  if  he  stays 
right  he  will  show  a  lot  of  the  eligibles   to   the  slow

for  I  think  I  go  slow  with  them.  I  have  not  beaten 
2:20  by  a  whole  lot  as  yet  but  as  my  horses  have 
wintered  g3od  I  expect  to  see  what  is  in  them  from 
now  on.  One  thing  I  am  sure  I  will  not  carry  any 
dead  ones  with  me  as  they  eat  a  hole  into  the  bank 
roll  that  takes  a  good  horee  to  even  up."  Vance 
worked  a  mare  by  Courier,  a  half  in  1:08]  but  he  said 
that  he  could  not  at  the  present  ride  many  miles  as 
fast  as  that  clip  as  it  would  make  him  dizzy. 

Baron  Grattan  was  worked  by  Ed  Geers  a  mile  in 
2:12£.  The  pacer  owned  by  F.  G.  Jones  has  speed  to 
burn  and  is  slated  to  lower  his  record  several  minutes 
(seconds  I  mean)  Walter  Direct,  probably  tbe  most 
touted  pacer  eligible  to  the  green  classes  in  America, 
is  working  in  tine  shape  and  the  fastest  mile  of  his 
this  week  was  a  mile  in  2:24  While  this  must  seem 
slow  compared  with  a  lou  of  miles  that  have  bet  n 
stepped  over  this  track,  still  the  son  of  the  unbeati  n 
Direct  Hal  showed  an  eighth  in  15  seconds.  This 
horse  is  too  high  in  flesh  at  tbe  present  for  Geers  to 
step  him  fast  for  a  mile  but  when  it  comes  to  racing 
time  he  will  lead  many  a  pacer  what  is  called  "a  dog's 
life." 

Strong  Chance,  the  five-year-old  black  gelding,  by 
Dr.  Strong,  and  out  of  a  mare  by  Clipper  Jr.,haB

was  trained  by  W.  O.  Foote,  as  a  yearling,  and  it  is 
sa:d  that  he  could  as  a  yearling  show  better  than  a 
2:20  clip  for  quarter  of  a  mile. 

Silverwings  owned  by  Col.  R.  W.  Hunt  of  Chicago, 
and  in  the  stable  of  Ras  Ecker,  worked  three  miles  in

than  a  fighting  chance  to  got  money  out  of  the

Providence  Entries. 


Big  entry  lists  are  the  rule  all  the  way  down  the 
line  of  Eastern  tracks  this  jear.  Providence  is  no 
exception  to  the  rule.  The  Roger  Williams  $5000 
stake  for  2:12  class  trotters  has  33  entries  and  seven 
of  these  were  bred  in  California  and  one  in  Oregon. 
The  Coast  horses  entered  are  Swift  B.  2:16$,  Nora  Mc- 
Kinney  2:12&,  Miss  Kinney,  Eula  Mac  2:17£,  John 
Caldwell  2:11$,  Mamie  R  2:15£,  Morosco  2:12  and 
Mack  Mack  2:12£. 

There  are  32  entries  in  the  $2000  purse  for  2:20  class 
trotters.  Those  from  the  western  edge  of  the  conti- 
nent  are  Maud  Maxine,  Crown  Prince,  Danube,  Lady 
Zombro  and  Getaway. 

The  Park  Brew,  which  is  a  $5000  pace  for  2:09  class 
horses,  has  attracted  26  entries  and  among  those 
named  are  the  California  bred  pacers  Reybel.  Ben  F.

Maid  2:08}  and  Josie  2:16  from  up  North. 

Eighteen  is  the  appropriate  number  of  entries  for 
the  2:18  class,  for  which  a  purse  of  $2000  is  offered. 
Bolivar  2:20  by  Wayland  W.  and  Stiletto  2:19}  by

Mr.  Gamble  Replies  to  the  "fltrse  Review." 

San  Francisco,  May  16,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman:— With  your 
permission  and  for  the  benefit  of  your  readers  iD  this 
State  who  do  not  read  u       i 

Where  either  journal  is  found  the 
florae  Review  has  the  majority  of  readers  throughout 
these  parts,  therefore  all  my  side  of  this  unpleasant 
controversy  over  tbe  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon  is  not 
generally  read.  For  such  reisons  I  would  like  to 
answer  a  few  questions  that  appeared  in  the  Horse 
of  its  issue  of  May  9th.  That  article  was 
headed  "Evidence  Still  Accumulating."    It  states: 

"As  will  be  remembered  by  tbe  Review  readers,  tbe 
fact  of  the  6ale  of  a  pair  of  chestnut  mares,  called  Fly 
and  Gipsy,  by  the  late  William  Maxwellof  Wisconsin, 
who  bred  them  and  took  them  to  California,  was  fur- 
nished tbe  Review  last  January  by  Mr.  Jacob  Broiliar 
of  Visalia,  whose  authority  was  Mr.  Frank  Taylor  of 
San  Jose,  Cal."  The  Review  further  states:  "We 
need  not  rehearse  the  strong,  confirmatory  evidence 
of  this  secured  from  Mr.  T.  W.  Markle  of  Waupun, 
Wiscoosin." 

I  fail  to  see  by  that  gentleman's  statement  that  his 
evidence  throws  any  light  upon  the  case  that  the 
Maxwell  mare  Fly  is  in  any  way  connected  with  the 
dam  of  Lou  Dillon.  That  gentleman  particularly  re- 
members a  team  of  mares  owned  by  Mr.  Maxwell, 
and  knows  just  how  they  were  bred,  and  that  Mr. 
Maxwell  went  from  Wisconsin  to  California  overland 
in  1*72,  taking  something  like  a  half-dozen  or  so 
horses  with  him  The  breeding  given  of  the  mareB 
and  that  they  started  for  California  is  no  doubt  cor- 
rect, as  far  as  Mr.  Markle's  statement  is  concerned; 
but  the  great  question  is,  did  these  mares  ever  reach 
this  State?  If  so,  when  and  to  whom  sold?  As  up  to 
date  they  cannot  be  identified  aseverin  the  possession 
of  Mr.  Ralston,  the  mere  statement  of  an  animal's 
breeding  and  sold  to  so-and-so  does  not  prove  that 
su^h  animal  is  in  anyway  connected  with  another  ani- 
mal. I  wrote  Mr.  Taylor  some  time  ago,  as  I  had 
learned  that  his  memory  was  good,  as  to  the  colorand 
marks  of  Fly's  mate  (Gipsy).  His  answer  is  in  the 
R-.riew  ol  May  9th — for  not  answering  my  letter  was 
that  he  was  not  feeling  well.  It  seems  strange  to 
many  here  and  at  San  Jose  that  his  memory  is  now 
so  good  in  relation  to  the  color,  marks  (and  now  a 
new  one  of  the  hard  pulling  habit)  of  the  mare  Fly, 
and  cannot  tell  which  hind  ankle  was  white  or  the 
description  of  Fly's  mate  (Gipsy;. 

The  Review  speaks  of  a  letter  received  by  me  from 
Mr.  Edwin  Bennett.  I  have  never  received  a  letter 
from  Mr.  Bennett,  "as  alluded,"  but  have  such  a  let- 
ter now  in  my  possession  and  the  author's  signature, 
and  that  team  can  be  well  identified,  and  such  a  team 
of  mares,  in  no  way  connected  with  Lou  Dillon,  and 
the  nearest  to  the  embrace  of  Milton  Medium  these 
mares  was  about  thirty  miles.  There  is  nothing  like 
a  parson's  keeping  up  courage  during  the  legal  exam- 
ination. The  'Review  teems  to  be  lost  as  to  tbe  true 
initials  of  Mr.  Kimball.  Mr.  Thompson  gives  "J.  S." 
Kimball  and  I  gave  "G.  P."  Kimball.  "G.  P."  the 
records  have  proved  correct.  As  to  the  dates  of 
deaths  of  Messrs.  Ralston  and  Kimball,  I  have  the 
records  of  such;  but  I  cannot  see  what  such  has  to  do 
with  the  identity  ol  the  Maxwell  mare  Fly  as  the 
grandam  of  Lou  Dillon.  It  again  states  that  In  your 
issue  of  April  22d  I  gave  your  journal  a  list  of  horses 
owned  by  the  late  G.  P.  Kimball  offered  for  sale. 
That  list,  unfortunately,  I  did  not  date,  which  seri. 
ouBly  impairs  its  value  as  evidence,  especially  as  one 
of  the  horses  listed  is  the  reputed  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr. 
mare  whose  claim  as  the  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon  I 
have  been  supporting. 

The  Review  states:  "We  have  accordingly  analyzed 
it  in  the  endeavor  to  place  its  date,  and  that  analysis 
reveals  the  fact  that  it  cannot  have  been  in  its  entirety 
made  out  at  one  time,  but  must  be  the  sum  of  various 
memoranda  of  various  dates."  My  reply  to  the  latter 
Is  that  I  fall  to  see  what  such  has  to  do  with  the 
grandam  of  Lou  Dillon. 

Now  about  the  unnamed  chestnut  filly  that  they 
called  a  yearling  and  I  a  two-tear-old,  by  Hubbard 
out  of  Lady  Fairfield.  I  did  not  give  any  breeding  for 
Lady  Fairfield  for  the  simple  reason  that  I  well  knew 
that  this  Lady  Fairfield's  breeding  wbb  unknown  and 
was  within  two  thousand  miles  of  imp  Bonnie 
Scotland.  Judging  the  evidence  and  circumstances 
surrounding  this  Maxwell  mire  Fly  problom,  I  never 
did  for  one  moment  imagine  that  fbe  was  in  anyway 
connected  with  Lou  Dillon,  and  I  have  hli<.'ht  evidence 
that  the  Geo.  M.  Hatchen  mare  is  yet  In  a  slight 
doubt,  and  the  true  facts  may  never  come  to  light. 
It  has  been  proven  to  mo  beyond  doubt  that  the  so- 
called  "Fly"  by  Flying  Cloud  i.  i  thirty 
to  tw  >  thousand  miles  of  tbe  embrace  of  Milton  Me- 
dium. There  is  a  great  error  on  someone's  part  as  to 
the  statement  of  my  receiving  a  letter  from  Kdwin 
lett.     I  Bimply   Inquired  of    Mr.   Parlln   of  the 


n  Horse  Breeder,  Boston,  that  I  learned  that 
Mr.  Bennett  was  now  a  resident  of  Boston;  but  I  have 
such  a  letter  in  my  possession  from  other  parties. 
With  other  evidence  I  thought  that  I  would  be  able 
to  present  my  case  to  the  public  by  this  date,  but  I 
am  now  waiting  on  four  important  persons  in  Lake 
county.  I  have  been  and  am  now  quite  under  the 
weather  the  last  few  days  with  usual  complaint 
(asthma),  yet  I  will  try  to  write  and  answer  all  ques- 
tions put  to  me  in  this  unfortunate  muddle.  Did  you 
hear  the  latest?  Did  the  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon 
have  one  ear  cut  off  and  one  hind  shoe  off?  I  must 
let  up  on  this,  as  I  am  short  of  fuel.    Yours, 

SaM'l  Gamble. 


Feeding  the  Horses. 

The  man  who  hopes  to  feed  horses  successfully 
should  possess  some  slight  knowledge  of  the  anatomy 
and  physiology  of  this  animal.  Tbe  usefulness  of  the 
horse  whether  he  be  of  the  draft  or  the  light  type, 
depends  on  the  development  of  his  muscles  and  supply 
of  muscular  or  nervous  energy  which  he  can  store  up 
to  give  out  as  work. 

The  type  of  the  draft  and  trotting  horse  varies 
essentially  as  does  the  character  of  his  muscles.  In 
the  light  horse  the  muscles  are  constituted  of  long, 
elastic  fibers,  which  gives  a  great  range  to  the  stride 
and  a  high  knee  action,  so  that  the  unfoldiDg  of  the 
leg  enables  him  to  cover  a  long  distance  at  a  single 
stride,  and  so  materially  reduce  the  time  required  to 
cover  a  mile.  In  the  draft  horce  the  muscles  are 
larger,  and  coarser,  while  made  up  of  bundles  of  short 
fibres.  They  have  not  thus  the  great  elasticity  of  the 
muscles  of  the  light  horse,  and  hence  the  draft  horse 
does  not  posses  the  action  of  speed  of  tbelatter.  These 
two  distinct  classes  of  muscles  require  practically  the 
same  kind  of  food  for  nourishment,  and  as  the  value 
of  tbe  horse  depends  on  his  muscular  energy,  it  is 
evidently  necessary  that  he  be  given  plentiful  supplies 
of  food  whose  specific  quality  is  muscle  building. 

If  one  examines  the  skeleton  of  the  horse,  he  will 
see  that  the  pivotal  part  of  the  body,  namely  the  hind 
quarter,  takes  its  form  and  shape  from  the  develop- 
ment of  the  muscles,  and  not  so  much  from  the  form 
of  the  skeleton.  This  in  itself  should  convince  every 
person  of  the  great  importance  of  feeding  plentiful 
supplies  of  protein  foods  to  horses. 

Examining  the  physiology  of  the  animal  somewhat, 
it  is  found  that  his  circulatory  and  nervous  systems 
are  highly  organized;  that  his  digestive  organs  are 
small  and  compact.  He  only  has  one  stomach  and 
that  not  of  great  capacity;  hence  it  is  quite  evident  if 
he  is  to  do  good  work  he  must  be  fed  differently  from 
the  ox,  which  has  the  power  of  ruminating  and  has  a 
great  pouch  and  three  other  stomachs  to  assist  him  in 
the  reduction  and  digestion  of  coarse,  rough  fodders. 

It  is  a  material  advantage  for  every  person  dealing 
with  horses  to  know  and  appreciate  these  important 
facts  and  yet  it  is  surprising  how  few  people  have  con- 
sidered the  feeding  of  horses  from  a  purely  business 
standpoint,  that  of  furnishing  proper  supplies  of  food 
in  the  best  form  for  the  nourishment  of  the  animal. 
It  is  quite  evident  that  where  the  horse  is  not  fed 
suitable  food  supplies  he  will  not  be  able  to  develop 
his  full  quota  of  energy,  nor  will  his  tissues  be  so  well 
nourished  nor  his  staying  qualities  so  great,  either  for 
a  day's  labor,  or,  for  that  matter,  for  a  life  time. 
How  much  animal  energy  is  wasted  through  improper 
food  supplies!  The  Iobs,  could  it  be  figured  up  in 
dollars  and  cents,  would  be  truly  appalling;  so  great, 
in  fact,  as  to  revolutionize  the  methods  now  employed 
in  feed  ing  animals  and  make  our  farmers  consider  this 
question  in  its  true  and  proper  light,  its  relation  to 
the  economic  nourishment  of  the  animal  body  and  to 
secure  the  greatest  return  in  work  for  the  least  ex- 
penditure. 

From  what  has  been  Baid,  it  is  evident  that  the 
horse  requires  rather  a  concentrated  ration — a  ration 
rich  in  muscle  and  nerye  producing  constituents. 
Such  a  ration  will  necessarily  be  a  narrow  one;  that 
is,  tbe  proportion  of  protein  to  carbohydrates  and  fat 
will  be  close,  as  one  pound  of  protein  to  betweeu  four 
and  six  of  carbohydrates  and  fat;  while  a  wide  ration 
would  be  one  pound  of  protein  to  six  or  ten,  or  eyen 
twelve  pounds  of  fat  The  former  ration  would  be 
well  adapted  for  the  nourishment  of  the  horse;  the 
latter  for  the  development  of  fat  in  a  beef  animal. 
With  these  facts  before  ue,  it  would  seem  that  the 
feeding  of  horses  would  be  a  simple  matter,  and  so  it 
would  be  if  suitable  concentrates  were  always  avail- 
able. 

The  food  par  excellence  for  horses  is  oatB.  These 
have  a  nutritive  ratio  of  one  to  about  six,  and  have  a 
tonic  effect  on  tbe  nervous  system.  Every  farmer 
who  is  breeding  or  caring  for  horses  should  make  an 
effort  to  have  as  many  oats  as  possible  to  feed  his 
stock.  Next  to  oats,  the  food  generally  used  in  the 
United  States  is  corn.  This  is,  however,  not  a  de- 
sirable food  for  horses,  as  It  is  low   in   protein   and 


tends  to  prod  uce  fat  and  heat  rather  than  build  muscle 
and  supply  nervous  energy.  It  also  is  objectionable 
because  it  burns  out  the  digestive  tract.  Where  it  is 
necessary  to  feed  some  corn,  the  supply  should  never 
exceed  one-third  or  one-haif  of  the  concentrates  when- 
ever possible  If  a  mixture  of  one-third  bran,  one- 
third  oats  and  one-third  corn  can  be  fed,  it  is  infinitely 
better  than  pure  corn.  Ic  extreme  cases  where  oats 
cannot  be  had,  feed  one-third  bran  and  two-thirds 
corn.  Bran  is  a  protein  food  and  has  a  cooling  effect 
on  the  system  and  helps  to  keep  the  coat  in  a  fine 
condition. 

The  roughness  fed  to  horses  should  be  free  from 
dust,  as  otherwise  it  is  likely  to  produce  heaves  or 
various  other  affections  of  the  respiratory  organs.  If 
the  roughnees  is  dusty,  it  should  be  cut  and  slightly 
dampened,  not  wet,  and  may  have  the  meal  scattered 
over  it  and  mixed  with  it  so  as  to  insure  the  horse 
eating  it.  Where  clean,  bright  hay  from  clover,  cow 
peas,  wheat  or  vetch,  or  from  the  tame  grasses  is 
available,  it  can  be  used  for  horse.  Any  of  these 
combinations  will  give  a  sufficiency  of  protein  in  a 
roughness  in  a  comparatively  concentrated  form, 
such  as  horses  require. 

Not  more  than  ten  to  fifteen  pounds  of  hay  should 
be  fed  per  day,  as  a  horse  will  eat  more  roughness 
than  is  necessary  for  it,  resulting  in  a  distention  of 
the  pouch  and  a  burdening  of  the  digestive  organs 
that  detracts  from  the  energy  and  general  appearance 
of  the  horse.  When  horses  are  idle  they  do  not  re- 
quire such  choice  hays  for  maintenance  purposes. 
Some  straw  can  be  utilized  to  good  advantage  and 
shredded  stover  can  also  be  fed.  When  it  is  necessary 
to  grind  grain  for  horses,  as  it  would  be  should  their 
teeth  be  bad  or  the  grain  particularly  hard,  it  is  bast 
to  mix  it  with  a  small  amount  of  chopped  feed  so  they 
cannot  bolt  it  down  without  masticating  it  thoroughly. 
Grain  should  never  be  ground  for  horses  unless  it  is 
necessary,  as  thev  prefer  to  masticate  it  for  them- 
selves, and  it  is  much  better  for  them  to  do  so.  A 
horse  should  have  plenty  of  time  to  eat,  as  he  only 
has  one  opportunity  to  chew  his  food  and  his  diges- 
tive apparatus  is  much  more  delicate  than  that  of  the 
ox  and  liable  to  be  upset  by  the  rapid  bolting  of  his 
food.  He  will  acquire  the  habit  of  rapid  eating  much 
the  same  as  man,  if  conditions  are  favorable. 

Horses  should  not  be  watered  immediately  after 
eating.  This  is  an  important  matter,  as  a  heavy 
draught  of  water  at  that  time  not  only  chills  the 
stomach,  but  dilutes  the  digestive  fluids  so  that  it 
takes  some  time  for  the  digestive  functions  to  be  re- 
established. By  giving  attention  to  these  points  a 
horse  can  be  fed  to  much  better  advantage,  so  that  he 
can  do  more  and  better  work  at  less  cost  and  with 
greater  comfort  to  himself. — A   M.  Soule. 


Breeding  of  Whalebone. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman:— I  see  there  is  a  claim 
made  that  the  dam  of  Whalebone  was  sired  by  John 
Nelson — in  fact,  a  full  pedigree  is  given  of  the  dam. 
I  wish  to  state  through  tbe  columns  of  your  valuable 
paper,  for  the  benefit  of  breeders,  that  the  breeding 
of  Whalebone's  dam  is  unknown.  My  father  got  her 
on  a  debt  a  number  of  years  ago,  and  she  died  of  old 
age  on  my  hands.  I  bred  her  to  Inca  when  he  stood 
in  San  Bernardino.  I  lived  at  that  time  in  San 
Jacinto.  I  was  advised  to  breed  her  »o  Inca  by  J.  C. 
Jordan,  who  lives  at  tbe  present  time  in  San  Jacinto. 
I  named  the  colt  Bismarck  and  sold  him  to  a  party  in 
Petaluma,  who  changed  his  name  to  Whalebone. 
How  he  got  a  pedigree  on  his  dam's  side  I  do  not 
know.  I  will  guarantee  that  there  is  not  a  man  living 
who  can  name  the  party  my  father  got  old  Nellie 
from  but  myself,  and  I  failed  to  find  what  she  was 
sired  by.  I  believe  Whalebone  has  been  dead  several 
years.    Respectfully, 

H.  G.  Hewitt,  Healdsburg,  Cal. 


That  Son  of  Oro  Wilkes. 


What  is  the  name  and  breeding  of  tbe  "son  of  Oro 
Wilkes  2:11"  that  sired  Mamie  R.  (3)  2:15J,  now  in 
James  Butler's  string? — Horse  Review. 

The  breeding  of  this  horse  has  been  given  frequently 
in  these  columns.  He  is  out  of  the  mare  Auntie  by 
Dawn  2 : 1 8 J ,  second  dam  Netteo  by  Anteeo  2:16J,  third 
dam  Nettie  Bennett  by  Alexander  490,  fourth  dam 
Jennie  Shepherd,  dam  of  two  in  the  list,  by  William- 
son's Belmont.  The  Son  of  Oro  Wilkes  was  foaled 
in  1898,  and  was  bred  to  Musoova  2:28i  in  1900  and 
two  or  three  other  mares  He  was  gelded  the  same 
year.     He  was  never  named. 


Not  an  inch  of  barbed  wire  should  ever  be  allowed 
on  a  farm  where  horses  are  kept.  Never  allow  brood- 
mares nor  colts  or  fillies  to  run  in  a  pasture  where  any 
of  the  cruel  stuff  can  be  found.  Many  good  colts  have 
been  killed  from  outs  received  from  barbed  wire  and 
many  others  have  received  scars  that  will  disfigure 
them  for  life.

Difference  in  Full  Brothers. 

[S.  W.  Parltn  in  American  Horse  Breeder.] 
There  is  sometimes  a  great  difference  between  stal- 
lions that  are  full  brothers,  both  in  speed  capacity 
and  ability  to  sire  and  perpetuate  speed.  The  reason 
for  this  appears  to  many  to  be  one  of  the  deep 
mysteries  hidden  in  the  law  of  inheritance  and  trans- 
mission. That  this  difference  exists  is  known  to 
overy  student  of  the  breeding  problem.  Pew,  how- 
ever, have  attempted  to  solve  the  problem  and  ex 
plain  the  reason  for  this  difference. 

In  order  for  any  man  to  offer  a  clear  and  reason- 
able solution  of  this  mysterious  problem  of  the  differ- 
ent capacity  of  full  brothers,  or  even  to  get  a  clear 
understanding  of  the  matter  himself,  it  will  Brst  be 
necessary  for  him  to  thoroughly  understand  the  sub- 
ject of  heredity,  inheritance,  transmission  and 
atavism,  as  explained  by  the  best  iuformed  and  most 
modern  writers  on  that  subject.  The  man  who  has 
mastered  Weisman's  "Theory  of  the  Germ  Plasm" 
can  readily  comprehend  that  though  stallions  are  by 
the  same  sire  and  from  the  same  dam  the  germs  con- 
tained in  the  ids  which  entered  into  the  composition 
of  one  may  have  been  inherited  from  some  different 
ancestor  or  ancestors,  near  or  remote,  that  was  totally 
different  in  character  and  capacity  from  that  which 
furnished  the  germs  in  the  ids  which  entered  into  the 
composition  of  the  full  brother. 

The  man  who  has  mastered  this  subject  can  also 
understand  that  though  the  physical  and  mental  con- 
dition of  the  stallion  may  be  the  same  when  different 
mares  are  mated  with  him  even  on  the  same  day  the 
arrangement  of  the  ids  and  determinants  coming  from 
him  which  enter  into  the  composition  of  the  new 
being  may  be  so  unlike  in  character,  that  though  the 
foals  mav  be  from  mares  that  are  full  sisters,  mares  of 
the  same  size,  the  same  color,  of  similar  conformation 
and  possessing  the  same  temperament  and  general 
characteristics,  the  two  foals  produced  by  them  that 
were  begotten  by  the  same  stallion,  on  the  same  day 
and  under  conditions  that  were  precisely  similar,  may 
bear  no  marked  resemblance  te  each  other  either  in 
size,  color,  temperament,  conformation,  speed  capac- 
ity or  general  characteristics. 

The  men  who  best  understand  the  subject  of  her- 
edity, the  law  of  inheritan3e,  transmission  and  atavism, 
other  things  being  equal,  are  the  ones  who  will  be 
most  likely  to  achieve  success  in  breeding  horses  of 
any  desired  type.  Not  that  a  knowledge  of  the  above 
will  enable  them  to  control  or  modify  the  law,  for  that 
is  impossible,  but  because  in  selecting  their  brood- 
mares and  the  stallions  with  which  to  mate  them,  they 
will  be  careful  to  know  that  not  only  the  animals 
themselvess  possess  the  qualities  which  they  wish  to 
reproduce,  but  are  from  a  long  line  of  ancestors  on 
both  side,  each  of  which  possessed  the  desired  quali- 
ties in  a  marked  degree.  To  the  average  man,  who 
has  not  studied  the  above  subject,  an  explanation  of 
the  cause  of  the  differences  in  the  ability  of  well-bred 
stallions  that  are  full  brothers  to  transmit  speed  would 
be  about  as  clear  as  an  explanation  of  cube  root  and 
logarithms  in  mathematics  to  a  pupil  before  he  had  a 
knowledge  of  the  fundamental  rules  of  arithmetic. 

Every  breeder  of  large  experience  and  every  student 
of  the  breeding  problem  knows  that  there  is  a  vast 
difference  between  full  brothers  as  regards  their  speed 
capacity  and  also  their  ability  to  transmit  speed.  It 
is  not  always  the  faster  and  more  successful  race  win- 
ner of  two  full  brothers  that  is  the  more  successful 
as  the  sire  of  uniform  race-winning  speed.  This  is 
true  of  runners  as  well  as  trotters. 

The  old  English  stallions,  Flying  Childers  and  Bart- 
lett's  Childers,  are  good  illustrations.  Plying  ChilderB 
was  the  fastest  runner  in  England  in  his  day.  He  was 
raced  against  the  best  horses  of  his  day,  and  was  never 
beaten.  He  did  stud  service  for  19  years  after  being 
retired  from  the  turf,  and  was  doubtless  favored  with 
the  best  mares  in  England.  Bartlett's  Childers,  a  full 
brother  to  Flying  Childers,  was  never  raced.  He  bled 
at  the  noee  and  would  not  endure  training.  He  proved 
more  successful  as  a  perpetuator  of  race-winning 
speed,  however,  than  did  Flying  Childers.  One  of  his 
sons,  Squirt,  got  Marske,  sire  of  the  renowned  English 
Eclipse,  that  was  never  beaten,  and  finally  no  man 
could  be  found  who  would  start  a  horse  against  him. 
Lath  and  Cade  are  otber  full  brothers  that  may  be 
named.  They  were  by  Godolphin  Arabian  and  from 
Roxana.  Lath  was  several  years  older  than  Cade.  He 
was  the  first  foal  that  Godolptiin  Arabian  got  in  Eng- 
land, and  was  the  most  successful  race  horse  of  his 
day.  He  was  owned  and  kept  for  stock  purposes  by 
Duke  of  Devonshire,  who  had  previously  owned  the 
renowned  Flying  Childers,  hence  no  horse  of  his  day 
had  better  opportunities  in  the  stud  than  Lath 
enjoyed.  Cade  was  trained  for  racing,  but  was  such  a 
failure  as  a  race  horse  that  he  was  started  only  three  or 
four  times,  yet  his  descendants  were  more  successful 
as  race  horses  than  were  those  of  Lath.  Matchem,  by 
Cade,  was  one  of  the  most  successful  sires  of  his  day. 


Among  the  sons  of  George  Wilkes  2:22  that  were  full 
brothers  and  kept  for  stock  .purposes  are  The  King 
2:29},  and  Gambetta  Wilkes  2:19}.  The  former  was 
foaled  in  1874,  and  the  latter  in  1881.  The  last  Year 
Book  credits  The  King  2:293  with  18  trotters  and  five 
pacers  that  have  made  standard  records;  also  with 
seven  sons  that  have  sired  two  trotters  and  nine  pacers 
with  records  in  standard  time,  and  with  nine  daugh- 
ters that  have  produced  eight  trotters  and  five  pacers 
with  standard  records,  making  the  total  number  of 
standard  performers  got  by  The  King  and  his  sons 
and  produced  by  bis  daughters  47. 

The  same  Year  Book  credits  Gambetta  Wilkes  2:19}, 
a  full  brother  of  The  King,  with  83  trotters  and  78 
pacers  in  the  list  of  stand  ard  performers,  also  with  38 
sons  that  have  sired  72  trotters  and  108  pacers  that 
have  made  records  in  standard  time,  and  with  31 
daughters  that  have  produced  21  trotters  and  18 
pacers  with  standard  records,  which  makes  a  total  of 
380  standard  performers  sired  by  Gambetta  Wilkes 
and  his  sons  and  produced  by  his  daughters.  This  is 
more  than  eight  times  the  number  credited  to  The 
King,  his  sons  and  daughters. 

Gambetta  Wilkes' record  is  ten  seconds  faster  than 
that  of  The  King,  but,  as  before  remarked,  it  is  not 
always  the  full  brother  which  shows  the  most  spted 
that  proves  the  most  successful  as  a  sire  of  speed. 
Alcantara  2:23,  foaled  in  1876,  and  Alcyone  2:27,  foaled 
in  1877,  were  full  brothers.  Before  Alcantara  was  in- 
jured as  a  four-year-old,  by  getting  one  hind  leg 
caught  under  the  bottom  of  ihe  door  of  his  stall  when 
lying  down,  he  had  trotted  a  half  mile  in  1:06,  driven 
by  Mike  Bowerman,  and  Mr.  Bowerman  stated  several 
years  ago  that  he  believed  Alcantara  could  have 
trotted  the  full  mile  in  2:13  on  that  occasion  had  he 
been  asked  to  do  so.  It  was  while  suffering  from  the 
injury  mentioned  above,  and  only  a  short  time  after 
it  occurred,  that  Alcantara  took  a  record  of  2:23  in  a 
race  against  aged  horses  and  over  a  muddy  track. 

Alcyone  2:27  was  considerably  faster  than  his  record 
but  not  nearly  as  fast  as  Alcantara.  Alcyone  died 
July  4,  1887,  when  but  ten  years  old.  His  early  op. 
portunities  in  the  stud  were  not  nearly  as  good  as 
those  of  Alcantara.  The  Year  Book  for  1904  credits 
Alcantara  with  109  trotters  and  51  pacers  that  have 
made  standard  records;  also  with  53  sons  that  have 
sired  123  trotters  and  150  pacers,  and  with  46 
daughters  that  have  produced  51  trotter6  and  21 
pacers,  making  the  total  number  of  standard  per- 
formers named  above  that  are  descendants  of  Al- 
cantara 505. 

The  same  Year  Book  credits  Alcyone  2:27  with  50 
trotters  and  nine  pacers  that  have  made  records  in 
standard  time,  also  with  52  sons  that  have  sired  200 
trotters  and  122  pacers  in  the  standard  list  and  26 
daughters  that  have  produced  40  trotters  and  12 
pacers  with  standard  records.  This  makes  the  total 
number  of  standard  performers  mentioned  above  de- 
scended from  Alcyone  532,  which  is  27  more  than 
those  of  Alcantara.  It  will  be  observed  that  the  pro- 
portion of  pacers  among  the  descendants  of  Alcan- 
tara is  considerably  greater  than  among  those  of 
Alcyone. 

Although  full  brothers,  Alcantara  and  Alcyone, 
bore  but  little  resemblance  to  each  other,  either  in 
size,  color  or  conformation.  Alcantara  was  much 
larger  than  Alcyone,  and  though  a  powerful  horse, 
with  remarkably  strong  loin  and  strongly-muscled 
quarters,  he  lacked  the  graceful  poise,  the  symmetry 
of  form,  the  finish  and  quality  which  enabled  Alcyone 
to  win  the  blue  ribbon  from  the  noted  prize-winner, 
Mambrino  King,  at  the  National  Horse  Show  in  Madi- 
son  Square  Garden  during  the  fall  of  1885,  in  the  class 
lor  stallions  four  years  old  and  over,  kept  for  service. 
It  will  be  observed  that  the  sons  of  Alcyone  have  been 
much  more  successful  as  sires  than  those  of  Alcantara, 
while  on  the  other  hand  the  daughters  of  Alcantara 
have  apparently  produced  and  are  producing  better 
than  those  of  Alcyone,  though  it  must  be  borne  in 
mind  that  there  are  probably  not  less  than  four  times 
as  many  daughters  of  Alcantara  as  of  Alcyone  that 
have  produced  foals. 

Bourbon  Wilkes  and  Favorite  Wilkes  2:241  are 
another  case  of  full  brothers  that  were  unequal  in 
speed  and  greatly  so  as  sires  of  speed.  Their  sire  was 
George  Wilkes.  Their  dam  Favorite  2:35J,  was  by 
Alexander's  Abdallah,  and  from  Lizzie  Peebles,  by 
the  famous  old  four-mile  race  horse,  Wagner.  Bour- 
bon Wilkes  wasioaled  in  1875.  He  has  no  record  and 
was  never  trained  as  far  as  known  Favorite  Wilkes 
was  foaled  in  1887.  His  speed  was  developed  and  he 
was  raced  for  several  seasons.  He  took  a  record  of 
2:25f  in  1886,  which  he  reduced  to  2:25J  in  1887,  and 
finally  to  2:24|  in  1891. 

As  Favorite  Wilkes  was  a  handsome,  well-finished 
horse  and  a  fast  trotter  it  is  probable  that  his  oppor- 
tunities in  the  stud  were  at  least  equally  as  good,  if 
not  better,  than  those  of  Bourbon  Wilkes.  According 
to  either  the  old-age  or  the  development  theory,  or 
both,  Favorite  Wilkes  should  have  proved  a   much 


more  successful  sire  and  perpetuator  of  speed  than 
Bourbon  Wilkes.  The  last  Year  Book,  however, 
credits  Bourbon  Wilkes  with  54  trotters  and  44  pacers 
that  have  taken  standard  recordB,  with  30  sons  that 
have  sired  46  trotters  and  101  pacers  with  standard 
records;  also  with  30  daughters  that  have  produced 
25  trotters  and  14  pacers  with  records  in  standard 
time,  a  total  of  284. 

The  same  Year  Book  credits  Favorite  Wilkes  2:24J 
with  23  trotters  and  eight  pacers  that  made  standard 
records;  with  seven  sons  that  have  sired  10  trotters 
and  16  pacers  in  the  standard  list;  also  with  nine 
daughters  that  have  produced  nine  trotters  and  six 
pacers  with  standard  records,  a  total  of  72,  or  only 
about  one-fourth  as  many  as  ore  credited  to  his  un- 
developed full  hrother,  Bourbon  Wilkes. 

Bourbon  Wilkes  had  two  years  the  advantage  of 
Favorite  Wilkes  in  age,  but  that  does  not  account  for 
the  discrepancy  between  their  lists  of  standard  per- 
formers. By  turning  to  the  Year  Book  of  two  years 
ago  (1902)  it  will  be  found  that  Bourbon  Wilkes  was 
then  credited  with  52  trotters  and  44  pacers  with 
standard  records;  with  25  sons  that  were  then  credited 
with  37  trotters  and  79  pacers,  and  with  24  daughters 
that  had  produced  16  trotters  and  14  pacers  in  the 
standard  list,  a  total  of  242  which  is  considerably  more 
than  three  times  the  number  that  are  now  credited  to 
Favorite  Wilkes. 

The  above  are  only  a  few  case9  which  occur  to 
mind.  Among  others  that  might  be  mentioned  are 
Guy  Wilkes  2:15}  and  William  L.;  Allerton  2:09}  and 
Barnhart  2:22|;  Alfonso  2:20|  and  Baron  Alexander, 
etc.  Guy  Wilkes  2:15}  was  one  of  the  fastest  and 
gamest  stallions  that  George  Wilkes  ever  got,  and 
was  always  popular.  His  full  brother,  William,  if  we 
are  correctly  informed,  was  handled  some  for  speed, 
but  never  took  a  standard  record,  and,  owing  to  con- 
formation, was  far  less  popular  than  Guy  Wilkes. 
Yet  the  latter  got  no  son  that  is  the  equrl  of  Axtell 
(3)  2:12  as  a  sire  of  speed. 

It  is  evident  that  when  a  stallion  has  inherited  the 
quailtieB  upon  which  speed  ability  depends  and 
possesses'  the  power  to  transmit  these  q  jalities  be  will 
prove  successful  as  a  sire  of  speed,  if  given  a  proper 
opportunity,  whether  he  has  been  handled  for  speed 
or  not.  All  unprejudiced  persons  who  have  studied 
the  breeding  problem  carefully  must  have  become 
convinced  of  that  fact.  It  does  not  follow  that  of 
several  full  brothers  which  have  had  equal  opportuni- 
ties for  development  that  the  one  which  shows  the 
most  speed  will  prove  the  most  successful  as  a  sire  and 
perpetuator  of  speed. 


How  to  Throw  a  Horse. 

To  thoroughly  take  the  conceit  out  of  a  horse  there 
is  no  better  way  than  to  throw  him.  It  certainly 
requires  pluck  and  determination  to  throw  a  horse 
single  handed,  but  if  done,  your  horse  is  virtually  con- 
quered for  good  and  all.  To  do  this,  put  a  good 
strong  halter  on  your  horse,  take  a  strap  with  a  ring 
in  it  and  buckle  it  on  the  horse's  off  fore  leg  below  the 
fetlock  joint;  take  a  rope  eight  feet  long  and  tie  it  to 
this  strap;  place  a  surcingle  round  the  horse's  body, 
take  up  your  position  on  the  right  side  of  the  horse, 
bring  the  rope  over  the  horse's  back  from  the  offside; 
take  hold  of  the  rope  and  pull  his  foot  to  his  body', 
take  a  firm  hold  of  this  foot,  holding  it  in  that  posi- 
tion, then  take  hold  of  the  horse's  halter  with  the  left 
hand,  pull  his  head  to  you  and  press  against  his  body 
with  your  elbow,  using  the  words,  "Lie  down.  " 

The  majority  of  horses  can  be  thrown  in  this  way 
in  under  a  minute,  while  others  of  course  may  fight 
longer.  As  soon  as  the  animal  has  been  thrown  take 
the  rope  that  is  underneath  him,  bring  it  under  the 
surcingle  and  pass  it  through  the  ring  of  the  baiter, 
and  back  under  the  surcingle  again,  and  thus  you 
have  the  rope  in  position  to  bring  his  head  over  his 
9houlder.  Make  him  put  his  head  on  the  ground, 
and  if  he  makes  any  attempt  to  get  up  pull  his  head 
up  immediately,  which  will  prevent  him  from  rising. 
This  will  give  him  thoroughly  to  understand  that  you 
are  master.  Once  a  horse  realizes  your  power  over 
him  he  will  do  almost  anything  a  horse  can  do. — Ex- 
change. 

In  a  recent  public  talk  on  the  horse  and  the  horse 
situation,  Col.  Exall,  the  successful  Texas  trotting 
horse  breeder,  said,  among  other  excellent  things: 
"With  a  reawakening  interest  in  the  horse  and  his 
noble  qualities,  with  wealthy  men  all  over  the  Union 
searching  the  markets  for  horses  to  drive  or  to  race 
for  pleasure  or  profit,  with  an  admitted  scarcity  to 
meet  this  increased  demand,  it  cannot  be  doubted 
that  the  prices  paid  for  good  horses  during  the  next 
five  or  six  years  will  be  as  high  as  ever  before,  if, 
indeed,  not  very  much  higher.  Obviously,  now  is  the 
time  of  all  times  for  all  owners  of  good  mares  to  begin 
to  breed  them  and  to  raise  good   horseB."

At  the  Empire  Gun  Club  snoot,  last  Sunday  at  Ala- 
meda Junction,  General  Fred  Fuuston,  U.  S.  A.,  par- 
ticip  ited  in  the  club  events.  General  Funstoo  is  now 
a  member  of  ohe  club  and  judging  from  his  initial  per- 
formance at  the  club  traps  he  will  make  a  strong  race 
for  some  of  the  club  trophies.  The  doughty  soldier 
is  a  very  clever  shot  and  is  an  enthusiast  on  blue 
rock  shooting.  His  first  score  of  14  out  of  25  was  just 
a  warm  up.  In  the  re  entry  race,  15  singlts  and  5 
pairs  he  smashed  a  total  of  16  clay  pigeons  and  won 
first  money  in  his  class.  Bert  Patrick  let  out  a  kink 
also  and  scored  24  out  of  25  in  the  club  race.  Fred 
Feudner  shot  a  good  pice,  besides  cracking  out  21  iu 
the  club  race,  he  scored  15  in  the  Sweeney  medal  race; 
in  this  event,  however,  Webb's  record  of  17  still  is  the 
top  sore.    The  regular  scores  shot  were  the  following:

San  Francisco  Show. 


The  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club  show  last  week  may 
be  said  in  one  respect  to  have  been  one  of  the  most 
successful  in  the  history  of  the  club,  for  the  one  lack- 
ing essential  at  a  number  of  past  shows  was  strongly 
in  evidence,  and  that  was,  a  big  gate.  On  the  first 
night  the  Pavilion  was  thronged,  the  closing  night  it 
was  packed. 

The  entries  numbered  552  and  429  dogs  were 
benched,  some  twenty  odd  more  than  in  1904.  Collies 
led  by  a  close  margin  of  two  over  the  Cocker  entries; 
Fox  Terriers,  Bull  Terriers.  English  Setters,  Boston 
Terriers,  Pointers,  St.  Bernards  and  Great  Danes 
followed  next  in  order. 

The  class  and  quality  of  the  show  was  excellent  to  a 
degree  with  the  local  and  Coast  dogs,  among  which 
were  a  promising  iot  of  young  dogs  and  puppies  in 
many  breeds.  The  Eastern  dogs,  including  the  Bloom- 
field  English  Setters, the  Sabine  Kennels'  Fox  Terriers, 
the  Pointers  in  Ben  Lewis*  string,  the  Fox  and  Irish 
Terriers  brought  out  by  George  S.  Thomas  were  all 
well  known  and  winning  high  class  benchers.  In  their 
olasses  tbey  won  nearly  everything — save  one  special 
and  that  was  when  the  black  Cocker  Plumeria  Sally 
was  placed  over  Lansdowne  Ada 

The  surprise  in  the  Collie  ranks  was  Sir  Wallace, 
be  is  13  well  set  handsome  dog  with  a  coat  textuie  not 
usually  seen  here,  his  head  is  of  the  right  kind  and  he 
is  a  Collie  of  type  and  substance  all  through. 

The  Pointer  classes  were  better  than   the  average

Bbown.  Of  the  local  entries  we  noticed  four  young 
dogs  from  Stockdale  Kennels  that  were  good  enough 
to  go  at  any  show,  Combination  Boy,  in  particular, 
seemed  to  be  a  most  promising  puppy. 

The  English  Setter  classes  were  all  above  the  usual 
run,  particularly  so  in  young  dogs.  The  Irish  Setters 
and  Gordons  were  fair  with  a  few  individ  ual  exceptions 
only.  Irish  Water  Spaniels  were  more  numerous  than 
usual  and  the  best  lot  yet  shown  here,  all  exhibited 
had  merit.  Bulldogs  had  a  record  entry  of  15.  End- 
cUffe  Baron,  a  new  dog  to  the  Coast,  two  good  pup- 
pies by  Trua  Blue  and  the  bitch  Defender  were  all 
better  specimens  than  benched  at  prior  shows. 

In  Bull  Terriers  the  best  of  a  general  averaging  good 
lot  were  Edgecote  Peer  and  Meg  Merilies  II.  Of  the 
two  the  bitch  has  a  shade  the  best  of  it  over  Peer. 

In  Fox  Terriers  the  qualityof  the  puppy  entries, 
particularly  the  home  bred  ones,  was  excellent.  The 
Wandee,  Sabine  and  Humberstone  limit  and  open 
entries  were  almost  all  show-tried  veterans. 

In  Boston,  Glenwood  Kennels  made  a  big  showing 
with  new  and  better  dogs  than  have  been  shown  here 
for  a  long  time. 

St.  Bernards  were  not  numerous,  Marcus  Nelson 
first  limit,  novice  and  third  open  (Le  King,  second 
open)  1904  won  all  the  way,  Le  King  going  second  to 
him  Nelson  was  in  better  shape  and  condition  than 
last  year  and  has  improved.  In  Great  Danes,  Tempest 
unplaced  in  1904,  over  Carlotta,  and  Cb  Blue  Board  in 
for  specials  only,  won  easily.  The  La  Honda  entries, 
Ni*  and  Prince  F.,  should  do  somo  winning  again 
next  year. 

Cockers  brought  out  a  neat  young  dog  Sir  David 
who  could  without  straining  have  gone  over  Mepals 
Sixon,  a  fair  headed  dog  lacking  substance  and  want- 
ing in  hindquarters.  Portland  Kid  can  ba  considered 
a  very  lucky  entry. 

Tom  Ashton  handled  his  classes  rapidly,  he  knows 
what  he  wants  and  does  not  waste  time  over  mediocre 
dogs.  The  awards  for  best  dog,  to  Endclifle  Precise, 
and  b^st  owned  by  a  lady,  to  Eidcliffe  Fascination, 
came  in  for  some  criticism.  This  however  is  more  a 
muter  of  personal  lining  for  one's  fancy.  These 
specials  are  debatable  in  themselves.  There  is  no 
question  but  what  Precise  is  just  about  the  best  wire 
ever  put  down  in  the  'Frisco  ring.  Endcliffe  Fascina- 
tion is  equally  good  as  a  Toy  Pom — but  there  were 
other  good  ones,  the  judge  was  the  deciding  factor 
and  that  is  final  Many  present  preferred  Meg  Mer- 
rilies or  Sir  Wallace. 

The  managment  of  the  show  in  all  its  details  was 
smooth  and  even,  the  ring  officials  being  particularly 
efficient,  in  their  duties.  Medals  were  distributed 
early  Siturday  afternoon.  Nearly  200  specials,  the 
largest,  handsomest  and  most  valuable  lot  of  oups, 
trophies  and  prizes  ever  given  at  a  Coast  bench  show 
were  distributed  to  the  winners  on  the  closing  night.

AS    USUAL.    U.    M.    C.    WINS. 

At  the  eighth  annual  live  bird  and  blue  rock  tourna- 
ment of  the  Kimball-Upson  Co.,  held  at  Sacramento 
May  12,  13,  14,  1905,  the  U.  M.  C  Company  again 
demonstrated  the  superiority  of  their  goods  and  the 
confidence  and  popularity  in  which  they  are  held  bv 
the  shooting  public.  Out  of  35  shooters  contesting  at 
live  birds,  20  used  U.  M.  C.  "Magic."  "Acme"  and 
"Majestic"  shells.  W.E.Greene,  of  Pacific  Grove 
Cal.,  won  high  average,  with  42  straight  kills;  Gion 
W.  Gibson,  of  Williams,  Cal.,  won  the  Gibson  cup  on 
10  pairs,  doubles,  breaking  17  out  of  20  blue  rocks- 
Greene  and  Gibson  both  using  U   M.  C  shells. 

At  the  second  day's  shoot  at  blue  rocks  there  were 
60  contestants,  out  of  whom  29  used  U.  M  C  brand 
of  shells.  W.  H.  Varien,  of  Pacific  Grove,  and  Emil 
Holling,  of  San  Francisco,  won  first  and  second  high 
average  in  the  expert  class.  H.  Davis,  of  Auburn, 
Cal.,  won  second  high  average  in  the  first  class,  c! 
A.  Johnson,  of  Chico,  won  first  prize  in  the  merchan- 
dise event.  All  of  the  above  winners  used  U  M.  C. 
shells.  The  longest  straight  run  was  won  by  W.  h' 
Varien,  with  SO  straight. 

MOKE    C.    M.    C,    VICTORIES. 

The  first  monthly  tournament  of  the  Southwestern 
Washington  Gun  Club  Association  was  held  at 
Centralia,  Washington,  on  May  6th  and  7th.  There 
wei'e  46  contestants,  31  of  whom  used  U.M.C  "Acme  " 
"Magic"  and  "Majestic"  shells.  The  Individual 
championship  of  the  association  was  won  by  Mr 
Harry  Gilchrist  of  Centralia,  using  U.  M.  C.  "Magic" 
shells;  the  team  trophy  was  won  by  W.  I.  Agnew,  W. 
L.  Bilger  and  J.  Van  Eaton,  all  using  U.  M  C  shells] 
and  Agnew  and  Bilger  both  using  Remington  guns. 
The  longest  continuous  run  being  64,  and  was  made 
with  the  Remington  shotgun  and  "Magic"  shells  by 
Mr.  Howe.  The  weather  was  delightful,  and  the  at- 
tendance very  satisfactory.  The  next  shoot  of  the 
association  will  be  held  at  Olympia,  Washington  on 
May  30th  and  31st. 

The  Vallejo  Gun  Club,  of  Vallejo,  California,  held 
its  second  season's  shoot  on  May  14,  1905.  There  were 
15  contestants,  all  using  U.  M.  C.  shells. 

The  National  Sportsmen's  shoot  was  held  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Gun  Club  at  Santa  Rosa, 
California,  on  May  14th.  There  were  20  contestants 
present,  18  of  this  number  using  U.  M.  C.  "Magic, " 
"Acme"  and  "Majestic"  shells 

These  records  speak  for  themselves,  showing  the 
popularity  and  confidence  of  the  shotgun  fraternity 
in  U.  M.  C.  products,  and  prove  conclusively  that  U. 
M.  C.  shells  are  the  peer  of  any  on  the  market  today 
for  accuracy,  reliability  and  perfection.

Red  Poll  Steers. 


Red  Poll  steers  so  far  have  cut  no  great 
figure  in  the  Bhow  ring.  Tbere  have  been 
comparatively  few  of  them  competing  for 
Bhow  yard  honors.  Of  these  few,  how- 
ever, none  so  far  shows  the  perfect  form 
and  finish  needed  to  command  attention 
from  the  judge.  This  may  he  from  lack 
of  Bkill  in  the  feeder  and  fitter,  and  doubt- 
less is  to  Eome  extent,  but  it  is  partly 
due  no  doubt  to  lack  of  material.  The 
Red  Polls  have  not  been  sufficiently  de- 
veloped in  this  line  to  reach  as  yet  to  the 
top  notch. 

But  when  it  comeB  to  practical  utility 
profit  to  breeder,  feeder  and  butcher— 
they  make  a  better  showing.  In  feeding 
capac  ty,  in  growth  for  age  and  in  quality 
of  product  they  compare  favorably  with 
any  of  the  strictly  beef  breeds  Unfortu- 
nately no  records  are  kept  at  the  Inter- 
national of  the  age  and  weight  of  the 
steers  Bbown,  or  if  kept  tbey  are  not  ac- 
cessible to  the  public  We  have  a  few 
reports,  however,  which  so  far  as  they  go 
BUBtain  the  foregoing  claims.  In  the  car- 
cass class  at  the  recent  International  the 
Gazette  report  gave  the  grosB  and  net 
weight  per  cent  of  beef  and  so  on,  but  un- 
fortunately not  the  age.  In  the  two-year- 
old  class  there  were  apparently  but  three 
pure  breds  entered  — an  Aberdeen  Angus, 
a  Red  Poll  and  a  Galloway.  The  judges 
placed  the  carcasses  in  the  order  named 
as  regards  these  three,  though  the  Angus 
was  at  the  head  of  the  class.  They  were 
presumably  near  the  same  age  and 
weighed  alive  1235  pounds,  1680  pounds 
and  1740  pounds.  They  dressed  respec- 
tively 66  7,  64  and  65  7  per  cent  of  their 
weights.  It  is  worth  notirjg  in  this  con- 
nection, as  an  illustration  of  dual  pur- 
pose quality,  that  the  Red  Poll  steer  was 
from  a  cow  entered  in  the  farmers'  cow 
class  in  1902,  and  showing  an  official  test 
of  over  90C0  pounds  of  milk  aud  over  300 
pounds  of  butter  fat  within  the  year. 

In  the  general  class  the  heaviest  Red 
Poll  steer  weighed  1950  pounds  at  three 
years  and  three  months,  lacking  a  few 
days,  the  nest  1685  pounds  at  a  little 
under  three  years.  In  the  yearling  class 
the  heaviest  weighed  1525  pounds  at  a 
little  over  two  years  and  the  next 
1335  pounds  at  a  little  under  two  years 
•The  laBt  named  steer  again  is  from  a  cow 
entered  in  the  farmers'  cow  class  in  1903 
and  showing  a  record  of  nearly  8000 
pounds  of  milk  and  over  400  poundB  of 
butter  in  325  days.  Her  calf  at  325  days 
old  weighed  757  pounds.  A  year  later 
this  calf  weighed  as  stated  1345  pounds- 
gain  in  the  year's  feeding  of  578  pounds,  a 


per  cent  of  over  76  per  cent  of  his  initial 
weight.  Can  any  of  the  strictly  beef 
breeds  show  better  growt  than  this,  and 
his  dam  would  be  a  first  class  dairy  cow 
in  any  company. 

We  have  some  more  satisfactory  figures 
from  England  for  purposes  of  comparison, 
but  these  must  be  left  for  another  article. 
The  point  to  be  enforced  now  is  the  ad- 
vantage offered  by  the  Red  Poll  breed  to 
the  general  farmer  in  the  Eastern  and 
Middle  states  who  prefers  to  grow  and 
feed  some  steers.  We  cannot  in  this 
section  afford  to  keep  a  cow  a  year  to  pro- 
duce a  steer  ealf.  The  calf  may  be  worth 
at  weaning  $15.  It  will  cost  $25  at  least 
t  feed  the  cow  a  year,  besides  the  risk 
and  depreciation  in  her  value — not  a  very 
profitable  business.  But  Red  Poll  cowe, 
as  shown,  that  are  first  class  dairy  ani- 
mals, that  will  give  milk  enough  to  raise 
a  calf  and  yield  a  profit  in  dairy  produce, 
can  also  grow  a  steer  practically  equal  in 
feeding  capacity  to  that  of  any  strictly 
beef  breed.—/.  McLain  Smithin  Breeders

Breeding  Cattle. 


The  bovine  specie  has  been  subdivided 
into  many  distinct  breeds  through  the 
intelligent  application  of  the  methodical 
principles  of  breeding  It  is  apparent 
from  the  general  results  achieved  from 
the  experiments  ■'  f  different  breeders  that 
perfection  of  animal  husbandry  still  fluc- 
tuates by  the  action  of  atavism,  or  the 
constant  tendency  to  revert  to  the  origi- 
nal type.  The  laws  of  inbreeding  have 
been  carefully  studied,  but  no  standard 
formula  haB  been  established  on  the  prin- 
ciples of  inbreeding.  Every  breed,  says 
the  Chicago  Journal,  was  developed  by 
considerable  inbreeding  to  fix  the  char- 
acteristk'3  of  the  new  type  and  to  estab- 
lish the  power  of  prepotency.  It  is  not 
only  to  evolve  a  perfect  conformation, 
butt'  develop  the  ability  to  transmit  to 
progeny  the  best  type  of  a  breed. 

The  enterprise  of  breeding  cattle  is 
pregnant  with  vast  possibilities  and  is 
a  subject  that  demands  great  preserver- 
ance  and  careful  applicat  on  of  the  laws 
of  breeding.  The  pioneer  breeders  that 
evolved  the  different  breeds  have  left  no 
formula  of  their  operation.  The  recur- 
rence of  numerous  crosses  to  one  ances- 
tor, indicates  that  much  inbreeding  waB 
relied  upon  to  establish  the  fixed  charac- 
teristics that  distinguish  the  several 
breeds.  To  fix  new  and  desirable  quali- 
ties, it  was  desirable  to  mate  the  animals 
that  possessed  these  qualities  in  the 
greatest  perfection. 

A  new  factor  has  been  infussd  into 
animal  husbandry  during  the  past  de- 
cade by  agricultural  colleges  and  experi- 
ment stations.  Experimentation  is  now 
being  conducted  on  the  most  scientific 
principles,  and  the  general  results  are 
widely  disseminated  through  special  bul- 
letins issued  by  the  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. Agricultural  stations  are  carry- 
ing on  extensive  operations  that  will  settle 
scientifica-Uly  many  of  the  controversies 
of  the  paBt.  The  animal  industry  has 
bee~i  greatly  benefited  by  the  "work  of 
the  pioneer  breeders  that  established  the 
different  breeds  of  cattle,  but  greater 
benefits  will  be  imparted  by  experimenta- 
tion at  agricultural  stations.  Modern 
efforts  are  being  directed  to  not  only  pre- 
vent the  deterioration  of  the  several 
breeds,  but  also  to  improve  their  fixed 
characteristics  and  prepotency.  To  profit 
by  the  scientific  experimentation  now 
being  exhaustively  conducted  by  agricul- 
tural stations  it  will  be  necessary  for 
breeders  to  Btudv  the  bulletins  elucida- 
ting the  several  experiments  and  follow 
the  recommendations  enunciatea  in  the 
several  reports.  The  different  breeds  were 
evolved  for  specific  purposes  and  to  attain 
in  the  largest  degree  that  purpose  is  the 
consummation  Bought  by  the  work  of 
agricultural  experiment  Btations. 


To  be  really  successful  one  must  begin 
further  back  than  the  mere  act  of  putting 
the  eggs  under  the  hen,  which  means  the 
purchasing  of  eggs  from  a  reliable 
breeder  of  stock  of  known  vigor  and 
worth,  for  the  chick,  like  members  of  the 
human  family,  has  the  right  to  be  well 
born  and  should  be  given  that  fight  by 
proceeding  as  above. 

After  we  have  made  things  ready  for 
the  reception  of  the  hen,  who  should 
have  been  left  for  three  days  on  the  nest 
to  prove  her  good  intentions,  we  remove 
her  after  dark  to  the  nest  prepared  as 
follows:  In  a  box  about  12x14x20  inches 
we  have  turned  on  its  side  we  place  a 
shovelful  of  moist  earth,  loam  preferred, 
in  which  had  been  mixed  a  small  shovel- 
ful of  coal  ashes,  and  on  this  the  nest 
material  of  straw  without  grain  in  it, 
shaping  bo  as  not  to  leave  toofl.it,  neither 
eo  deep  as  to  hinder  the  hen  in  turning 
the  eggs— the  form  of  a  saucer  is  about 
right  and  over  all  we  sprinkle  a  good  sup- 
ply of  lice  powder.  This  done,  we  dust 
biddy  freely  with  the  same  and  consign 
her  to  her  three  weeks  of  loneBomeness. 
Have  your  nest  room  in  a  quiet  spot 
sheltered  and  not  too  light,  provide  a 
dust  bath,  good  sound  grain  and  fresh 
water  daily  and  twice  during  incubation 
dust  the  hen  freely  and  you  may  be 
assured  of  a  good  hatch. 

It  is  usual  with  us  to  set  two  or  more 
hens  at  one  time,  as  in  so  doing  if  the 
weather  be  such  as  to  permit  two  broods 
may  be  given  the  one  hen  to  mother  and 
the  other  hen  returned  to  the  yards  and 
other  dutieB.  Eggs  should  be  tested  at 
the  end  of  ten  days  and  all  infertile  ones 
removed,  thus  giving  more  room  to  the 
fertile  ones  and  lessening  the  chances  of 
nest  soiling  by  broken  eggs.  Should  this 
happen  at  any  time,  and  it  does  fre- 
quently where  hens  are  used,  take  a  basin 
of  warm  water  and  wash  the  eggs,  dry 
carefully  and  return  to  the  nest  prepared 
with  clean  straw  and  no  harm  has  been 
done. 

It  will  do  no  harm  to  confine  the  hen 
to  the  nest  the  first  day  by  a  screen  in 
front  of  the  nest  and  removing  thiB  the 
second  morning,  giving  the  hen  a  chance 
at  feed  and  water,  by  which  time  in  usual 
cases  she  will  be  true  to  her  trust. —

Water  for  Milch   Cows. 


Pasture  fields  are  dry  places  during  the 
hot  weather.  Milch  cows  require  from 
five  to  ten  gallons  of  water  each  per  day, 
and  they  should  have  it  distributed  along 
as  they  feel  the  need  of  it.  It  often 
happens  that  the  corner  of  the  pasture 
nearest  to  the  wind  mill  may  be  supplied 
with  water  through  a  pipe  at  small  ex- 
pense. Where  it  is  possible  to  do  this 
cows  will  do  enough  better  to  repay  the 
expense  in  a  short  time. 

Driven  wells  are  bo  quickly  put  down 
and  so  satisfactory  that  it  often  payB  to 
drive  a  well  at  the  intersection  of  three  or 
four  fields,  then  by  laying  pipes  below 
froBt,  water  may  be  had  where  needed  any 
time  during  open  weather. 

Abundance  of  water  is  very  important 
in  the  dairy.  The  quality  of  the  water 
also  should  be  taicen  into  consideration. 
Good  water  is  wholesome  and  cows  do 
better  when  furnished  with  pure,  cold 
water  in  abundance.  Some  wells  are  wet 
weather  wells,  they  receive  the  water 
from  the  upper  layers  of  the  soil  and 
when  the  rains  cease  the  well  goeB  dry. 
Such  a  well  is  a  nuisance  in  dry  weather 
and  a  menance  to  the  health  of  the  cowb 
at  all  times. 

Abundance  of  good  water  has  a  direct 
influence  on  toe  health  of  the  cows.  If 
permuted  to  drink  whenever  tbey  want 
to  cows  keep  healthier  and  are  Beldoni  or 
never  truubled  with  disease.  Some 
farmers  lose  enough  cows  each  year  to 
buy  a  good  wind  mill.

The  Hay  Market. 

^cott  cc  Magnar's  report  of  the  hay  mar- 
ket issue  last  week  says  there  has  been  a 
decided  firmness  shown  throughout  the 
market  (or  the  best  classeB  of  hay.  The 
retailers  are  in  the  market  for  choice 
wheat  hay  and  choice  tame  oat  bay.  There 
ha9  been  but  little  of  these  varieties  arriv- 
ing on  this  market  for  the  last  fe  weeks, 
therefore  there  has  been  an  advance  in 
prices  on  all  such  offerings.  However, 
the  medium  and  poorer  varieties  of  hay, 
are  Btill  b  ing  offered  freely,  at  the  low 
figures  that  have  prevailed  for  soma  time. 
Bach  poorer  varieties  are  slow  to  sell,  as 
the  demand  seems  to  be  anything  but 
brisk,  and  therefore  a  decided  effort  is 
necessary  to  move  off  such  consignments. 

The  San  Francisco  Hay  Association  has 
just  completed  the  account  of  hay  on 
hand  May  let  with  a  result  showing  on 
that  date  of  47,400  tons  as  against  22,470 
tone  on  the  same  date  last  year,  being  an 
excess  of  24,930  tonB.  The  larger  propor- 
tion of  the  above  stock  consists  of  medium 
and  poorer  varieties  of  last  year's  crop 
and  it  is  expected  that  considerable  of 
this  hay  may  necessarily  be  carried  over 
iato  next  season. 

late  reports  from  our  various  large 
hay  districts  tend  to  show,  that  while  the 
volunteer  that  was  cut  had  been  damaged 
by  tne  rani  to  «uch  an  extent  that  it  may 
not  be  marketed  here,  yet  a  good  crop  of 
hay  ie  expected  to  he  harvested. 

Export  demand  for  hay  lias  been  de- 
cidedly  light,  and  nothiog  tending  toward 
large  shipments  it  lence. 

There  has  been  no  alfalfa  hay  arriving 
lately,  and  the  demand  for  this  article  is 
decidedly  small  at  this  time,  and  thesame 
can  be  also  said  of  clover  hav. 

Straw  has  been  arriving  moderately 
under  a  light  demand,  and  selling  at   un- 

Ch.  Ice    wheat   hay,  $13  to   $14; 
wheal  or  wheat  and  oat,  $11  to  $12;  No.  2

Cow  Ties. 


This  is  no  hobby  of  mine  any  more 
than  washing  my  face  daily  is.  It  is 
simply  a  fixed  conviction  that  the  cow 
Btanchion  is  a  bad  tie. 

For  yearB  I've  watched  the  Btanchion 
and  the  poor  victims  fastened  with  them, 
says  Kimball's  Dairy  Farmer.  I've  used 
them  myself  for  years  and  know  what  I'm 
talking  about.  I  finally  gave  my  own 
cows  relief  by  giving  them  a  loose  stall. 

Get  down  your  old  histories  and  you 
will  see  pictures  of  the  stocks  used  in 
early  days  to  fasten  people  by  the  wrists 
and  ankle9,  or  by  the  neck  and  wrists. 
These  were  uBed  solely  for  punishment. 
Just  imagine,  if  you  can,  being  fastened 
in  one  position  for — well,  I'll  put  it  easy 
— one  hour.  Can't  move  or  change  posi- 
tion. Can't  rub  your  nose  when  it 
tickles.  Can't  scratch  your  head  when  a 
loose  hair  irritates.  You  can't  get  at  the 
fly  or  mosquito  that  is  almost  driving  you 
crazy.  Just  one  hour!  That's  easy.  Try 
it!  You  would  get  used  to  it  if  you  were 
fastened  that  way  all  the  time.  That's 
your  infernal  argument  when  you  defend 
the  rigid  Btanchion.  Just  as  though 
cattle  can  ever  get  used  to  itchings,  tick- 
lings, fly  bites  and  monotonous  positions! 
You  say  they  don't  feel  these  things.  I 
say  you  know  better.  See  if  you  can  touch 
a  cow's  hair  so  lightly  that  she  will  not 
feel  it  and  switch  ber  tail. 

Did  you  ever  see  a  cow  try  to  rub  her 
rump  against  the  cow  next  to  her?  Did 
you  ever  imagine  she  had  no  itching 
feeling  on  that  rump?  Did  you  ever  see 
a  whole  line  of  cowb  knocked  over  by  the 
wild  efiort  of  one  to  rub  her  rump  against 
something?  Did  yon  ever  see  those  cows 
step  on  the  tail,  leg  or  udder  of  a  cow  that 
happened  to  be  lying  down?  I  have,  and 
you  can. 

Did  you  ever  see  the  cowb  slip  to  their 
knees  when  trying  to  reach  a  little  more 
feed  in  the  manger?  Did  you  ever  see 
them  slip  off  into  the  gutter  with  both 
hind  feet  and  come  down  with  a   terrible 


jolt?  Have  you  ever  noticed  the  calloused 
spots  on  the  knees  of  stanchion-tied  cows? 
I  have,  and  you  can. 

It  is  my  opinion  that  rigid  stanchions 
should  be  prohibited  by  law  aB  a  cruelty 
to  animals. 

Other  ties  can  be  used.  There  are  many 
kinds  that  will  give  quite  a  bit  of  freedom 
and  comfort.    The  best  are  none  too  good. 

Would  you  put  your  horses  in  Etaneh- 
10ns?  Just  as  fair  for  one  as  for  another 
kind  of  animal.  It  would  save  barn 
space.  It  would  save  halters.  Wouldn't 
they  get  used  to  it  just  as  you  say  cattle 
do?    Trv  it  on  horses.

When  turning  beef  or  dairy  cattle  on 
a  fresh  pasture,  watch  them  to  see  that 
they  do  not  bloat.  Bloat  may  be  easily 
and  simply  remedied,  but  there  are  a 
number  of  fatalities  from  it,  and  unless 
the  farmer  knows  what  he  is  doing  there 
is  small  hope  for  the  bloated  animal. 
Bloat  is  the  result  of  an  overdose  of  green 
stuff  and  the  formation  of  gas  in  the 
rumen,  so  don't  let  the  animals  fill  tht-ir 
paunches  with  it  too  quickly.

Work  on  a  Dairy  Farm. 

Occasionally  I  notice  inquiries  from 
young  men  who  are  thinking  about  going 
into  dairy  farming  for  a  life  work,  as  to 
the  work  necessary,  and  the  time  it  re- 
quires and  attention.  To  these  inquires 
I  would  answer  that  those  who  are  about 
to  take  up  dairying  must  be  prepared  to 
work  steadily  and  energetically  the  year 
round,  writes  S.  J.  Burton  in  Jersey 
Bulletin.  A  herd  of  dairy  cows  must  be 
watered,  fed,  groomed  and  milked,  and 
the  milk  attended  to  with  regularity  two 
or  three  times  a  day,  seven  days  a  week 
and  52  weeks  a  year.  This  work  is  bound 
to  be  done  be  it  wet  or  dry,  cold  or  warm, 
rain  or  snow. 

All  the  time  you  can  give  to  your  herd 
will  be  paid  for  if  the  time  has  been 
rightly  applied.  A  well-grcnmed,  well- 
fed  herd  of  good  dairy  cows  will  pay  for 
the  extra  time  that  haB  been  put  in  on 
them  by  increased  milk  How  ami  butter 
production,  as  the  yield  of  both  thete  is 
dependent  on  a  contented  state  of  bovine 
being. 

Dairy  farming  is  only  for  those  who 
are  ready  to  put  their  whole  hearts  into 
the  business,  and  offers  man}  chances  for 
the  healthy  man  who  is  not  afraid  of 
hard  work  nor  long  hours  The  remunera- 
tion from  honest  labor  bestowed  on  the 
dairy  farm  is  ample  tor  all  needs  of  this 
world  if  proper  use  is  made  of  what  we 
get,  and  that  is  all  we  get  anywhere.  If 
H  is  ease  and  luxury  a  man  is  looking  for 
he  will  have  to  look  elsewhere  than  on 
the  dairy  farm.

Dear  Sir:— I  have  a  standard  bred  "Cupid" 
mare  raised  by  Adolph  Spreckels,  the  well-known 
Californianand  horse  breeder,  and  after  driving 
her  a  few  months  a  bad  spavin  showed  itself  It 
was  fired  and  blistered  by  a  veterinary  and  t^e 
animal  turned  out  for  three  months.  Tne  spavin 
was  obstinate  and  the  mare  continued  lame.  I 
used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the-Horse"  and  a  com- 
plete cure  was  the  result. 

Yours,  Geo   a.  Knight.

In  regard  to  "Save  the-Horse,"  I  used  it  with  much  suooess.  The  running 
horse  Col  Roosevelt,  that  had  broken  down  in  training  for  two  or  three  years 
past,  is  now  in  good  shape  and  will  certainly  be  able  to  race  as  well  as  ever 
before.  Have  a*so  used  'Save-the-Horse  '  on  the  horse  Greyfeld  with  satisfac- 
tory results  Will  also  add  that  I  have  seen  "Save-the-Horse"  remove  a  deep-

This  Truck  is  the  result  ot  years  of  endeavor  to  produce  a  wagon  that  has  great 

carrying  capacity,  ample  strength  without  superfluous  weight,  low 

enough  to  the  ground  to  minimize  the  labor  of  loadiDg. 

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on 

the  roads  as  well  as  on  the  farm. 

The  "Jersey"  is  a  pronounced  success,  not  only  for  the  transportation  of  fruit, 

but  as  a  general  purpose  dray  in  pillages  and  small  cities.

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU    ARE,    READ    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  in  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blaoks— a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  wb  imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  In  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  Is  clean  in  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  black  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  is  much  admired  for  hie 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  first-class  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neok  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  enduranoe.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as ''fine  as  peaohes,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latoh  and  very  olean  limbed.  We 
never  had  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  Is  at  present  tho  brightest  prospect  for  good  crops  in  this  country  that  has 
been  for  years  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  F.  Singmaster,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  in  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
is  proud  to  say  we  have  had  extremely  good  snccess  In  making  sales.  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
espeot  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  farmer 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  will  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stock  or  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cask 
we  make  a  liberal  discount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

DILLCARA 

PEDIGREE: 

DILLCARA,  foaled  1902 by SIDNEY  DILLON  23157 

First  dam,  QUYCARA  2:18| by OUV  WILKES  2867  (2:15i) 

Second  dam,  BISCARA by DIRrCTOR  2:17 

Third  dam,  BICARA by HaROLD 

Fourth  dam,  BELLE by MAMBRINO  CHIEF 

Fifth  dam,  BELLE  LUPE by BELLFOUNDER  (Brown's) 


NUTWOOD  WILKES  2:16! 


The  above  dam?  in  this  youns  stallion's 
pedigree  are  the  choicest.  The  first  dam  is  a 
young  brood  mare  with  a  record  of  2:185£;  the 
second  dam  is  the  dam  or  5  in  the  list  with 
recordsof  2: 14,3: 17H,2:I^M.2:18?i.  2:27,  respec- 
tively; the  'hird  dam  was  the  dam  of  6  with 
records.  2:21*4,  2:21  =£,  2:26*4  etc  ,  was  the  dam 
of  the  great  sire  Pancoast,  who  founded  a 
great  family,  and  the  good  sires  Balzec  Chief 
and  Bezant  and  the  good  brood  mare  Cora 
Mia;  the  fourth  dam  was  the  dam  if  McCurdy's 
Hambletonian  2:26%,  a  good  sire  and  also  the 
dam  of  the  great  sire  Belmont  sire  of  Nut- 
wood, etc.  Hence  from  his  dams  have  come 
two  great  families — the  Beimont-Nutwood 
and  the  Pancoast-Patron-Patronage-Prodi- 
gal  families  The  dam  of  the  siie  and  the 
dams  of  the  sires  of  the  first  and  second  dams 
were  great  brood  mares  who  were  also  the 
dams  of  other  great  sires.  Venus,  the  dam  of 
Sidney  Dillon,  was  the  damof  Cupid  2:18,  who 
produced  we  1;  Lady  Bunker,  the  dam  of  Guy 
Wilkes,  was  the  dam  of  Wm  L.,  sire  of  Axtel, 
and  El  Mahdi  2:25%  and  Declaration,  who 
were  each  tne  sire  of  several  good  ones:  Dolly, 
the  dam  of  Director,  was  the  dam  of  Onward 
2:25^  and  Thorndale  2:22,  both  of  which  were 
great  sires. 


The  above  sires,  the  sire  of  this  colt  and  the 
sires  of  the  first,  second,  third  and  fourth 
dams,  have  each  produced  one  or  more  world 
record  holders.  They  have  also  produced 
many  others  who  were  the  gamest,  the  most 
level  headed  and  the  largest  money  winners 
in  the  trotting  world.  The  first  four  trace  in 
the  male  line  to  Hambletonian  10  through 
ancestors  which,  in  each  and  every  genera- 
tion, have  been  the  best  producers  of  their 
day  and  have  been  better  producers  than  their 
sires  or  grandsires.  In  DILLCARA'S  pedi- 
gree there  are  sis  crosses  of  Hambletonian  10, 
each  of  which  goes  to  him  through  only  the 
best  producing  lines,  and  five  crosses  of  Mam- 
brino Chief,  each  of  which  goes  to  him  through 
dams  that  have  been  extraordinary  producers. 


Individually,  this  young  stallion.  DILLCARA.  is  as  good  as  h<s  pedigree.  He  is  of  the  stout, 
blocky  type,  without  coarseness  and  he  is  a  superb  model  of  his  type.  He  has  excellent  trotting 
action  and  a  great  degree  i-f  natural  speed  He  has  never  yet  been  in  the  baodsof  a  trainer,  his 
owner  preferring  for  stock  purposes  a  sire  that  has  never  been  raced  and  has  enjoyed  freedom  from 
the  nervous  and  physical  strain  of  severe  drilling  and  raciDg.  expecting  rhat  as  a  consequence  the 
produce  will  be  more  valuable.  Mated  with  well-bred  mares  by  McKinney  Director  Direct  and 
Nutwood  DILLCARA'S  produce  should  be  as  valuable  as  could  be  obtained  for  racing  and  breeding 
purposes. 

DILLCARA  will  make  the  Season  of  1905  at  some  place  near  San  Francisco,  not  yet  decided 
upon.    Limited  to  well-bred  mares.    SERTICE  FEE  S4t>

Through  Picturesque  California. 

The  Ideal  Route  for 

TUB  Andor  and  Ontlne  Trigs 

One  day's  ride  from  San  Francisco  will  take 
you  to  some  of  the  finest  Trout  Streams  in  the 
State.  Along  the  line  and  within  easy  distance 
are  many  of  the  best  Springs  and  Summer  Resorts 
in  the  State.  The  Company  maintains  a  Fish 
Hatchery  and  annually  stocks  the  many  streams 
reached  by  its  road.  One  million  Trout  Fry  were 
planted  last  year  in  these  streams. 

Black  Bass  Fishing  can  be  enjoyed  in  Russian 
River  near  Guerneville,  Gueraewood  Park  and

Dear  Sir:— I  nave  a  standard  bred  "Cupid" 
mare  raised  by  Adolpb  Spreekels,  the  well-known 
Caiifornian  and  horse  breeder,  and  after  driving 
her  a  few  months  a  bad  spavin  showed  itself  It 
was  fired  and  blistered  by  a  veterinary  and  the 
animal  turned  out  for  three  months.  The  spaviD 
was  obstinate  and  the  mare  continued  lame.  I 
used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the-Horse"  and  a  com- 
plete cure  was  the  result. 

Yours,  Geo.  A.  Kbjight.

In  regard  to  "Save  the-Horse,"  I  used  it  with  much  sucoess.  The  running 
horse  Col  Roosevelt,  that  had  broken  down  in  training  for  two  or  three  years 
past,  is  now  In  good  shape  and  will  certainly  be  able  to  race  as  well  as  ever 
before.  Have  a'so  used  -Save-the-Horse  '  on  the  horse  Greyfeld  with  satisfac- 
tory results-  Will  also  add  that  I  have  seen  "Save-the-Horse"  remove  a  deep- 
seated  ringbone  from  a  Director  trotting  horse  in  Monroe  Salisbury's  stable. 

I  am  pleased  to  be  able  to  recommend  "Save-the-Horse"  from  actual 
experience     Yours  iruly,  GEO.  A.  DAVIS.

and  an  average  of  ten  starters  could  be  expected  in 
every  event.  This,  the  opening  of  the  circuit  will  be 
one  of  greatest  harness  meetings  ever  held  in  Cali-

HORSEMEN  SHOULD  REMEMBER  that  any 
accident  to  sulky  or  harness,  caused  by  the 
breaking  of  any  part  thereof,  is  not  an  unavoidable 
one.  The  highest  boards  of  authority  in  both  the 
American  and  National  Associations  have  repeatedly 
80  held,  and  yet  judges  every  year  allow  horses  to 
stay  in  races  after  they  have  finished  behind  the  flag 
owing  to  accidents  of  this  sort.  The  American  Asso- 
ciation board  had  one  of  these  cases  before  it  at  the 
recent  meeting  in  Chicago.  At  the  Kewanee,  111., 
meeting  last  fall  one  of  the  starters  in  the  2:38  trot 
was  the  mare  Queen  Bee.  On  her  work  she  looked  to 
be  the  best  of  the  field,  and  this  impression  was 
strengthened  when  the  word  for  the  first  heat  was 
given,  as  the  mare  took  the  track  at  ooce  and  was 
soon  several  lengths  ahead  of  the  other  horses.  But 
before  she  had  gone  around  the  first  turn  one  of  the 
thills  of  the  sulky  broke.  The  driver,  who  had  his 
wits  with  him,  supported  the  damaged  part  of  the  rig 
■vith  the  toe  of  one  boot,  and  in  that  way  finished  the 
mile  in  the  rear  of  the  other  horses  and  behind  the 
distance  flag.  As  Queen  Bee  had  not  interfered  with 
the  other  horses  the  judges  allowed  her  to  start  again 
in  spite  of  the  protests  of  others  in  the  race,  with  the 
result  that  she  went  on  and  won.  Then  an  appeal  was 
taken,  and  the  case  tried  at  the  recent  meeting.  The 
judges  testified  that  in  their  opinion  the  accident  was 
unavoidable,  although  such  would  not  appear  to  horse- 
men to  be  the  case.  The  board  took  a  common  sense 
view  of  the  matter,  holding  that  as  the  accident  was 
not  the  result  of  another  horse  colliding  with  or  in- 
terfering with  Queen  Bee  her  mishap  should  not  be 
placed  in  the  favored  class.  The  appeal  was,  there- 
fore, sustained,  and  the  money  awarded  to  Queen  Bee 
by  the  judges  ordered  to  be  paid  to  the  other  horses 
that  finished  in  the  first  four  positions. 


THE  STATE  FAIR  DIRECTORS  will  meet  in  Sac- 
ramento on  Friday  next,  June  2d,  to  pass  upon 
the  program  of  racing  which  will  then  be  submitted 
by  the  Speed  Committee  and  which  has  already  been 
printed  in  these  columns.  The  program  provides  for 
six  days  raeing  and  is  complete  in  every  way,  the 
purses  generous  and  the  conditions  liberal.  At  the 
same  meeting  bids  will  be  opened  for  construction  of 
the  fences  around  the  new  property  and  the  erection 
of  box  stalls  and  several  buildings.  Grading  of  the 
new  track  is  already  under  way  and  the  course  is  ex- 
pected to  be  one  of  the  best  and  fastest  ever  con. 
structed  for  harness  racing  in  Caliiornia  and  will  be 
made  especially  good  for  winter  training  as  thorough 
drainage  iB  being  provided  for.  There  is  a  great  deal 
of  interest  being  taken  in  the  new  State  Fair  by  the 


make  it  a  big  success.  There  will  be  three  or  four 
hundred  horses  there  by  the  beginning  of  the  week  of 
the  meeting,  and  the  attendance  promises  to  be  very 
large  as  excursions  are  to  be  run  from  all  points 
within  a  radius  of  50  miles  of  Fresno.  Entries  for  the 
Fresno  meeting  will  not  close  until  June  15th,  which 
gives  every  horseman  a  chance  to  know  that  his 
horses  will  be  ready. 


San  Jose  Correspondence 

San  Jose,  May  24 — If  the  predictions  of  a  number 
of  prominent  horsemen  are  true,  San  Jose  will  soon  be 
able  to  boast  of  two  of  the  fastest  three-year-olds 
ever  worked  on  any  track. 

There  was  a  large  crowd  at  Recreation  Park  last 
Wednesday  to  see  the  trotters  and  pacers  work  out. 
About  the  best  that  day  was  a  brush  on  the  last  quar- 
ter between  Dr.  Hammond  2:12  and  the  three-year-old 
pacing  colt  Highfly,  owned  by  T.  W.  Barstow.  High- 
fly  has  a  two-year-old  record  of  2:25J.  The  two  horses 
worked  a  mile  in  2:29J  and  just  before  they  came  to 
last  quarter  they  began  stepping.  Half  way  through 
the  stretch  the  colt  carried  the  great  trotter  so  fast 
that  he  was  compelled  to  leave  his  feet.  When  the 
colt  passed  under  the  wire  the  watches  registered  the 
last  quarter  in  31J,  a  2.07  clip.  The  youngster  last 
June,  with  only  four  months  handling,  stepped  a  full 
mile  in  2:17|. 

On  Thursday  Mr.  Barstow  stepped  his  three-year- 
old  filly,  Just  It,  who  made  the  quarter  in  the  same 
remarkable  time  of  31  J,  while  many  of  the  time-pieces 
registered  31£. 

It  has  been  remarked  by  Budd  Doble,  the  well- 
known  reinsman  of  Lou  Dillon,  the  queen  of  the  turf, 
that  Just  It  and  Highfly  were  the  two  best  three- 
year-olds  in  the  Golden  State,  owned  by  one  man. 
Other  competent  judges  think  it  very  probable  that 
they  can  be  made  to  go  the  mile  in  2:10,  barring  ac- 
cidents. Should  Mr.  Barstow  succeed  in  this  he  will 
be  the  owner  of  the  only  stallion  in  the  world  that 
ever  put  two  three-year-olds  in  the  2:10  list  in  one 
season. 

The  two  recognized  comers  are  by  Nearest  2:22},  a 
full  brother  to  John  A.  McKerron,  that  great  trotting 
Etallion,  the  best  of  the  Wilkes  family,  and  the  sec- 
ond fastest  in  the  world.  Nearest  was  the  first  eight- 
year-old  stallion  to  get  one  below  2:10.  He  is  the  sire 
of  Alone  2:09|  as  a  four-year-old.  From  present  in- 
dications it  looks  as  though  she  could  pace  a  mile  this 
seasou  in  2:03,  as  she  paced  a  mile  last  fall  in  2:06|. 
Mr.  Jack  Curry  will  drive  her  this  season  in  her  races. 
Mr.  Curry  handled  the  reins  when  Prince  Alert  made 
1:57  and  Joe  Patchen  2:02J.  Garcia.

E.  E.  K.,  Bridgeport,  Cal. — The  bay  stallion  Leo 
Nolan  was  by  Herald,  dam  Amanda  by  Jim  Brown, 
grandam  Susan  by  Warwick,  third  dam  Folly  by 
Planet.  He  was  bred  by  Chas.  Kerr,  Antrim  Farm, 
Cal.,  and  was  foaled  in  1900.  He  started  twice  in  his 
two-year-old  form  at  Ingleside,  running  fourth  to 
High  Chancellor,  Tom  Mitchell  and  Montezuma  in 
his  first  race  at  four  furlongs  in  0:50  and  being  left  at 
the  post  in  his  next  start.  He  has  not  raced  since. 
We  cannot  find  that  Don  Pedro  was  ever  registered 
or  raced. 

If  you  own  a  two  or  three  year  old  filly  that  is  well 
bred  and  paid  up  on  to  date  in  either  the  Breeders 
Futurity,  Occident  or  Stanford  Stakes,  and  want  to 
sell,  see  Mr.  J.  W.  Zibbell,  proprietor  of  the  training 
stable  at  672,  11th  avenue,  back  of  the  Chutes.  He 
wants  to  buy  a  likely  filly  to  win  one  of  those  stakes 
with  this  year  or  next. 


The  San  Francisco  Wheel  and  Novelty  Company 
has  sold  to  Mr.  J.  Desschler,  the  owner  of  Lucky 
Prince,  a  fine  new  model  Flower  City  speed  cart  in 
which  ho  will  drive  the  fast  and  handsome  roadster, 
with  which  he  won  the  second  race  on  the  program 
Butchers'  Day  at  Oakland  track. 


Western   Racing   Circuit  Opens    Tomorrow. 

Albuquerque,  N.  M.,  May  20.— The  first  annual 
spring  meet  of  the  Albuquerque  Spring  Racing  Asso- 
ciation members  of  the  Western  racing  circuit  sill  be 
held  in  this  city  on  May  28,  29,  30  and  31,  and  promises 
to  be  the  greatest  race  meet  ever  held  in  any  city  or 
town  in  the  Southwest.  Over  100  horses  are  stabled 
at  the  race  course,  among  them  being  animals  owned 
by  G.  H.  Estabrook,  Samuel  S.  Bernard,  Thos.  Stark, 
S.  J.  Crabtree  and  other  horsemen  of  Colorado 
Springs,  Utah  and  Kansas.  Joe  McGuire,  trainer  and 
driver  of  the  Estabrook  horses,  is  here  with  the 
avowed  intention  of  taking  the  track  record  from 
Barnett's  Stranger,  which  was  wrestled  from  Winfield 
Stratton  at  the  Territorial  fair  la6t  fall.  He  also  says 
that  he  is  going  after  the  two  $1000  trotting  and  pac- 
ing stake  races  with  Flora,  Iora  and  others  of  the 
Estabrook  stables. 

McGuire  will  find  that  the  local  horsemen  are 
loaded  for  him,  Joe  Barnett  having  added  Clara  B,  a 
a  fast  goer  from  California,  to  his  string,  which 
Sheriff  Thomas  S.  Hubbell  has  purchased  from  W. 
A.  Clark,  Jr.,  and  Dr.  John  F.  Pearce  has  just  se- 
cured Master  Delmar,  brother  of  Major  Delmar,  also 
from  Mr.  Clark.  These  three  new  Albuqueque  horses 
have  been  at  Agricultural  Park,  Los  Angeles,  the 
past  winter. 

The  harness  events  are  as  follows: 

First  day,  May  28—2:13  pace.  $1000;  2:23  trot, 
$500. 

Second  day,  May  29 — 2:35  pace,  $500. 

Third  day,  May  30—2:17  trot,  $500;  2:15  pace,  $500. 

Fourth  day,  May  31— Free  for  all  pace,  $500;  2:35 
trot,  $1000.  The  Albuquerque  Daily  Citizen  will  give 
$100  if  track  record  is  broken. 


Matinee  at  Denver. 

Denver,  May  20th.— Despite  the  many  rains  of  the 
week  the  Gentlemen's  Riding  and  Driving  Club  held 
its  matinee  this  afternoon  on  a  fairly  fast  track.  The 
meet  was  to  have  been  held  last  Saturday,  but  owing 
to  there  being  three  inches  of  mud  on  the  track  it 
was  postponed.  The  best  time  made  was  1:10},  by 
Claudie  C,  a  very  promising  horse  owned  by  J.  M. 
Herbert.  Owing  to  the  unsettled  condition  of  the 
weather  the  attendance  was  not  very  large.  The 
summary: 

First  event,  named  trot.

Entered  This  Year  in  Big  Stakes. 

A  correspondent  of  the  Chicago  Horseman  who 
writes  over  the  pen  name  of  "Old  Sport"  has  the  fol- 
lowing to  say  of  a  gelding  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  that 
took  a  three-year-old  record  of  2:12  in  California  and 
was  afterwards  sold  East  for  a  long  price: 

"The  grey  horse  Who  Is  It,  after  a  rather  checkered 
career  here  as  a  matinee  horse,  has  bobbed  upserenely 
in  Providence,  R.  I.,  as  the  property  of  Stephen  J. 
Tingley.  Some  two  years  ago  the  millionaire  real  es- 
tate broker,  R.  C.  Taylor  and  his  son  William  essayed 
to  have  a  horse  that  was  king  of  the  boulevard.  Ac- 
cordingly John  Knobbe  was  consulted  and  as  a  result 
Who  Is  It  was  purchased.  Although  the  horse  was 
possessed  of  great  speed  be  did  not  show  it  on  the 
boulevard,  consequently  after  two  years'  trial  was 
traded  off  and  was  heard  of  in  Springfield  where  he 
trotted  very  fast.  He  had  a  record  of  2:10},  and 
those  who  have  seen  him  since  he  has  been  In  good 
hands  report  him  eligible  to  the  fast  stakes  that  he  is 
entered  at  and  it  costs  good  money  to  be  entered  there. 
Who  Is  It  is  entered  in  the  Massachusetts  Stake  at 
Readville  and  the  Empire  State  $10,000  Stake  at 
Buffalo.  There  is  no  doubt  but  that  Who  Is  It  is  in 
good  hands,  Is  very  fast  and  good  results  are  looked 
for  from  him." 

Mr.  A.  Hoffman,  the  San  Francisco  jeweler,  who 
won  the  two  mile  race  Butchers'  Day  with  his  fast 
pacing  mare  Kitty  D  by  Dictatus,  has  a  brand  new 
McMurray  sulky  for  her  that  he  bought  from  the 
Kenney  Manufacturing  Company,  Coast  agents  for 
this  vehicle.

||  JOTTINGS. 


THE  GREATEST  NEED  ol  the  popular  sport  c* 
harness  racing  iu  California  at  the  present  time 
Is  the  organization  of  an  actual  circuit.  There  will 
be  a  circuit  of  five  or  six  weeks  of  good  racing  this 
year,  but  it  has  organized  itself  and  the  associations 
giving  the  meetings  that  comprise  it  have  had  no 
conferences  or  agreements  as  to  dates,  conditions  or 
purses,  but  each  meeting  so  lar  announced  has  taken 
such  dates  as  the  association  giving  it  could  get  with- 
out waiting  for  the  approval  or  consent  of  any  other 
organization.  The  breeders  and  trainers  of  trotting 
and  pacing  horses  in  California  are  the  gamest  and 
most  confiding  people  on  eartfc.  They  begin  training 
every  year  in  January,  gettiDg  ready  for  the  few 
meetings  which  they  expect  to  see  announced  for  the 
California  circuit,  and  hoping  that  out  of  their  strings 
will  come  two  or  three  crackerjacks  that  will  sell  for 
a  big  price  or  that  they  can  themselves  take  across 
the  mountains  to  the  big  circuit  that  opens  in  July  at 
Detroit.  These  owners  and  trainers  come  up  smiling 
every  year  and  spend  a  pile  of  money  in  breeding  and 
training  When  the  time  comes  for  opening  the 
harness  racing  season  they  find  the  Breeders  associa- 
tion has  announced  a  couple  of  weeks  racing,  the 
State  Fair  down  for  a  week  or  two  and  one  or  two 
other  associations  have  taken  a  week  each.  The 
eight  or  ten  which  they  expected  has  dwindled  to 
four  or  five.  The  result  is  discouraging,  of  course, 
but  as  hope  springs  eternal  in  the  horseman's  breast 
he  does  not  permit  a  little  disappointment  to  put  him 
out  of  business,  and  as  soon  as  the  new  year  comes  in 
is  again  training  as  many  as  he  can  afford  to  and 
hoping  for  a  chance  to  race  them. 

This  condition  of  things  should  be  entirely  changed. 
California  is  large  in  area  and  has  a  comparatively 
sparse  population  but  it  is  the  best  harness  horse 
breeding  country  on  earth  and  cculd  support  a  circuit 
of  ten  or  twelve  weeks  good  racing  every  year.  It 
only  needs  a  few  men  with  enterprise,  vim  and  energy 
who  will  organize  a  circuit.  There  is  a  good  mile  track 
at  nearly  every  town  of  five  thousand  inhabitants  in 
the  State,  and  were  these  tracks  under  the  control  of 
a  regularly  organized  circuit,  harness  racing  would 
soon  resume  its  old  time  prestige.  The  Los  Angeles 
horsemen  who  stepped  in  and  organized  an  association 
this  year,  selected  the  first  week  in  July  for  their 
meeting,  put  up  $15,000  in  cash  for  a  list  of  purses  and 
announced  their  intention  of  giving  two  meetings  each 
year,  did  more  to  boom  harness  racing  here  and  put  it 
on  a  good  footing  than  has  been  done  by  any  other 
organization  in  California  for  yea-s.  All  that  is  now 
needed  is  for  the  horsemen  of  a  few  other  towns  to 
follow  their  lead.  Fresno  should  have  a  club  that 
would  give  annual  meetings.  There  should  be  one  at 
Stockton,  another  at  Pleasanton,  one  at  San  Jose,  one 
at  Santa  Rosa,  one  at  Woodland  and  clubs  could  also 
be  organized  at  Red  Bluff,  Marysville,  Salinas,  Hollis- 
ter,  Vallejo,  Petaluma  and  other  places  that  could  be 
members  of  a  California  circuit.  Delegates  from  these 
clubs  should  meet  annually  in  January  and  arrange 
dates,  then  announce  purses  early,  so  that  the  training 
and  breedicg  of  trotters  and  pacers  would  be  greatly 
stimulated.  Unless  this  is  done  next  year,  or  some 
similar  plan  followed,  the  training  and  racing  of  har- 
ness horses  will  be  of  very  little  moment  in  California. 
The  Los  Angeles  Association,  the  Breeders  and  the 
State  Fair  are  the  only  organizations  that  are  in 
active  service  at  the  present  time,  and  while  they  give 
splendid  racing,  draw  good  crowds  and  hang  up  large 
purses,  their  meetings  are  hardly  numerous  enough 
to  be  dignified  with  the  name  of  circuit.  There  should 
be  at  least  ten  weeks  of  harness  racing  here  every 
year.  We  have  the  horses,  the  tracks  and  the  people 
who  enjoy  the  spurt,  but  we  lack  organizations  to  give 
meetings.  Dates  should  be  claimed  in  January,  and 
programs  published  as  early  as  March  or  April  each 
year.  Then  horse  owners  would  know  what  to  depend 
on,  and  whether  it  would  pay  to  train  their  horses. 
I  notice  that  many  stallion  owners  are  complaining 
that  fewer  mares  are  being  bred  this  year  than  last. 
The  cause  is  not  the  condition  of  the  market  as  that 
Is  good, but  it  is  ihu  ,'ailure  of  many  places  wherethere 
ara  good  mile  tracks,  to  announce  meetings.  When 
the  boys  are  talking  about  the  coming  races,  owners 
get  the  spirit  and  book  their  mart--,  but  when  the 
tracks  are  idle  and  the  racing  spirit  dead,  the  mares 
are  not  bred  at  all  or  sent  to  the  draft  and  coach  stal- 
lions to  produce  horses  for  pulling  plows,  express 
wagons  and  carriages. 


road  drivers  and  trainers  who  wished  to  race  for 
small  purses.  The  club  usually  held  two  or  three 
meetings  a  year  at  which  the  purses  ranged  from  $100_ 
.  The  horses  were  classified  according  to  their 
speed  at  the  time  and  not  by  their  records,  a  com- 
mittee, who  were  familiar  with  them  all,  doing  this 
work.  Oakland,  Ingleside,  Tanforan,  Vallejo  and 
Petaluma  tracks  have  been  utilized  for  meetings, 
many  of  which  were  quite  successful.  The  club  was 
not  a  member  of  either  the  National  or  American  As- 
sociations and  suspended  men  and  horses  weie  per- 
mitted to  compete.  Bookmaking  was  the  system  on 
which  the  betting  was  conducted  and  the  privilege 
was  sold  to  one  person  who  generally  laid  cinch  odds, 
and  kept  a  very  keen  lookout  to  see  that  he  was  not 
beaten  out  of  his  bank  roll  on  some  one  race.  The 
club  had  a  very  large  membership  at  one  time,  but 
the  manner  in  which  its  racing  was  conducted  did  not 
appeal  to  those  who  like  to  see  good  contests,  and  the 
result  was  that  few  really  good  horses  have  started  at 
its  meetings  in  the  past  few  years.  The  old  speedway 
in  Golden  Gate  Park  was  utilized  by  the  club  on 
several  occasions  for  matinee  racing,  but  as  spectators 
had  but  a  partial  view  of  the  races,  it  was  not  a  very 
popular  place  for  meetings.  The  completion  of  the 
new  three-quarter  mile  oval  track,  now  in  course  of 
construction  in  Golden  Gate  Park,  will  furnish  an 
ideal  place  for  matinee  racing,  and  this  has  led  some 
of  the  members  of  the  club  to  start  a  movement 
towards  reorganizing  it  on  an  improved  plan.  It  is 
now  proposed  to  allow  none  but  amateur  drivers  to 
become  members  and  no  money  or  other  prizes  except 
ribbons  or  cups  will  be  contested  for.  A  new  consti- 
tution and  by  laws  has  been  adopted  and  will  soon  he 
printed  for  distribution  among  the  members.  By  the 
time  the  new  track  in  Golden  Gate  Park  is  completed 
this  club  will  be  ready  to  give  an  inaugural  matinee 
over  it  in  which  the  leading  road  drivers  of  San  Fran- 
cisco will  drive  their  horses.  It  is  a  real  pleasure  to 
announce  that  this  club,  which  has  among  its  oldest 
members  many  of  San  Francisco's  solid  citizens  and 
business  men,  proposes  to  be  run  on  a  high  plane  here- 
after. Los  Angeles  has  an  amateur  driving  club  that 
is  not  excelled  in  management  or  personel  by  any  club 
in  the  United  States,  and  San  Francisco  has  plenty  of 
material  for  one  of  the  same  sort.  If  both  could  be 
members  of  the  League  of  Amateur  Driving  Clubs  of 
Ameiica,  it  would  be  possible  in  the  future  to  have 
amateur  meets  in  both  cities  that  would  be  partici- 
pated in  by  some  of  the  leading  amateur  drivers  of 
Cleveland,  Buffalo,  New  York  and  other  Eastern  cities. 


Agitato  2:09  went  through  a  New  York  sale  re- 
cently and  brought  $175.  He  once  held  the  world's 
record  of  2:09}  for  three-year-olds,  but  is  a  gelding 
twelve-year-old  and  a  has-been  so  far  as  racing  is  con- 
cerned. He  was  worth  $10,000  when  a  three-year-old, 
but  if  you  imagine  for  a  minute  that  $475  is  a  small 
price  for  him  now,  do  a  little  investigating  and  ascer- 
tain what  an  automobile  that  sells  for  $10,000  when 
it  is  new  will  bring  at  auction  nine  years  later.  When 
you  get  through  figuring  on  this  problem  you  will 
probably  conclude  that  a  good  horse  is  a  better  in- 
vestment than  one  of  those  "benzine  buggies." 


While  horse  stories  are  going  around,  the  Daily 
Register  of  Tulare,  does  not  propose  to  be  left,  so  it 
tells  one  about  a  two-year-old  pacer  that  was  sold 
there  last  week  for  $13,000.  I  will  spell  it  out 
(thirteen  thousand  dollars)  for  fear  some  horseman 
will  think  it  is  a  misprint.  Mr  George  W.  Kirkham 
was  the  seller  and  Mr.  George  A.  Pounder  of  Los 
Angeles  the  buyer.  Jacob  Broliar  trained  the  colt, 
which  is  by  the  stallion  Stoneway,  and  showed 
a  mile  with  him  just  before  the  sale,  but  was  not  per- 
mitted to  tell  the  reporter  of  the  Register  how  fast  the 
mile  was.  He  stated  however  that  "weather  and  track 
conditions  being  taken  into  consideration  it  was  a 
record  beater."  The  paper  also  added  that  one  of 
the  conditions  of  the  sale  was  an  agreement  that 
"Little  Jim"  (that's  the  colt's  name)  was  to  be  per- 
mitted to  return  to  Tulare  the  coming  fall  "to  take 
part  in  a  race  already  negotiated  with  the  owners  of 
two  Hanford  horses,  if  these  gentlemen  at  that  time 
shall  be  in  the  notion  of  running,  which  is  doubtful." 
The  Italics  are  mine.  With  pardonable  pride  the 
winds  up  its  story  about  Little  Jim  with  the 
following:  "One  or  two  more  productions  like  this 
little  wonder  will  give  Tulare's  training  course  a 
national  reputation  among  horsemen.  Tulare  county 
possesses  ideal  conditions  for  the  development  of  stock 
of  all  kinds,  and  especially  for  bone  and  muscle  and 
speed  in  the  horse."  H, 

Matinee  at  Riverside. 


Tbedolden  Gate  Park  Driving  Association  has  been 

reorgrnized   recently  and   a  largo  number  of  its  old 

is    dropped    from   the    roll.    Thi9   club    was 

illy  organized  by  a   number  of  San   Francisco 


The  second  matinee  race  meet  of  the  Riverside 
Club  was  a  grand  success.  Seven  events  were  pulled 
off  to  the  satisfaction  of  all.  The  day  was  perfect, 
the  track  good,  the  speed  committee  did  excellent 
work  in  classifying  the  horses,  and  the  crowd  cheered 


their  favorites  at  the  half-mile  as  lustily  as  at  the 
finish. 

The  first  race  on  the  program  was  the  2:35  claBS 
trot.  This  event  was  especially  exciting  as  in  it  both 
clubs  had  entries — Freda  S.  owned  by  J.  B.  Mullen 
and  Teddy  Home  owned  by  John  N.  Home  of 
Colton.  These  horBes  were  not  quite  fast  enough 
to  beat  the  good  mare  Flash  from  Santa  Ana,  but 
they  kept  her  stepping  from  start  to  finish;  Freda  S. 
giving  her  a  lively  turn  the  first  heat  and  started  for 
her  in  a  grand  rush  in  the  second  heat,  but  went  to  a 
break;  Teddy  Home  taking  up  what  seemed  to  be 
out  of  Freda's  reach,  but  he  could  not  quite  heat 
Flash  under  the  wire.     Time— 2:29,  2:28. 

The  second  event  was  the  2:25  pace.  In  this  was 
Norda  owned  by  Bonnell  &  Prescott  of  the  San  Ber- 
nardino Club,  Willit,  owned  by  Secretary  Wilson  of 
the  Riverside  Club,  and   Billy  the  Kid,  owned  by  E. 

E.  Walters  of  Riverside.  This  race  was  the  fastest  of 
the  day,  but  not  up  to  the  expectations  of  those  who 
know  the  speed  of  Norda,  as  she  did  not  take  to  the 
many  short  turns  on  the  track  kindly,  leaving  her 
feet  on  them  and  Willit  a  winner.    Time — 2:21,  2:19. 

The  third  event  2:36  pace  was  won  by  Dewey  in 
straight  heats,  but  not  without  a  struggle,  as  Betty 
Raymond  and  Ada  R.  kept  him  close  to  the  pole  and 
at  his  speed  limit.    Time— 2:291,  2:27. 

The  fourth  event,  three  minute  mixed  class,  had 
eight  entries,  the  start  being  in  sections.  The  speed 
committee  deserve  special  praise  for  their  classifica- 
tion of  the  event  as  the  animals  were  all  very  closed 
matched;  won  by  Steel  Dust.  Time— 2:46,  2:43, 2:40. 
Second  heat  to  White  Stockings. 

The  fifth  event  2:40  pace  for  the  Baxter  and  Wilson 
cup  a  beautiful  trophy  which  looked  good  to  E.  D. 
Roberts  of  the  San  Bernardino  Club,  and  he  acted  as 
though  he  had  designs  on  it  from  the  first,  but  Mr  E. 

F.  Binder,  President  of  the  Riverside  Club  had  won 
it  once,  and  did  not  concede  to  Mr.  Roberts'  wishes 
until  the  third  heat,  and  it  is  no  way  certain  that  he 
would  have  had  to  do  so  then  if  he  had  not  had  a  very 
severe  fall  and  broken  rib  tocontend  with.  Time — 2:32, 
2:30,  2:30},  Fernwood  taking  the  second  heat. 

The  sixth  event  2:45  mixed  had  four  entries.  ThiB 
was  a  finely  matched  quartette;  Maude,  bay  mare, 
from  Highgrove  taking  the  first  heat.  Bob  Neernut 
with  L.  Foster  driving  took  the  second  heat.  Lau- 
retta in  her  maiden  race  took  third  heat;  the  fourth 
heat  Maude  gave  her  personal  attention  to  and  won  it. 
Time— 2:35,  2:35,  2:33,  2:35J. 

The  seventh  event  2:50,  mixed.  This  race  was  won 
by  another  of  the  great  Dewey  family  in  straight 
heats.  Time — 2:33,  2:31.  Adolantha  a  very  close 
second  in  the  last  heat.  It  was  patent  to  all  that  the 
many  short  turns  of  the  track  were  a  severe  handicap 
to  the  horses  of  the  San  Bernardino  Club.  As  they 
would  hardly'get  straightened  away  at  full  speed  before 
they  would  have  to  take  a  turn,  and  necessarily  a 
change  in  the  poise  of  the  body  and  length  of  the 
stride  to  negotiate  the  turns  at  the  same  gait.  The 
clubs  fraternize  splendidly  but  they  make  "no  bones" 
of  saying  to  each  other  we  are  out  for  all  the  cups 
hung  up.  Alcantellum. 

Stepping  Along  at  Fresno. 

Reports  from  Fresno  say  that  the  track  was  never 
in  better  shape  and  that  all  the  horse?  in  training 
there  are  beginning  to  step  along  some.  Schuyler 
Walton  has  worked  Geo.  L.  Warlow's  three-year-old 
colt  Athasham  2:20  a  mile  in  2:24},  with  a  half  in  1:10 
and  a  quarter  in  33  seconds;  his  two-year-old  trotter 
Stanford  McKinney  a  quarter  at  a  2:40  gait  and  Marty 
McKay's  pacing  mare  Thedona  Athadon  two  halves 
in  1:03}  and  1:03}.  The  three-year-old  pacer  Dan  S. 
by  Athablo,  dam  by  Daybreak  has  worked  in  2:27}, 
half  in  2:111  for  W.  H.  Middleton  and  this  trainer  has 
also  worked  the  green  trotter  Baldy  Girl  by  Junio  a 
quarter  in  36  seconds  and  Fred  Smith  by  Strathway 
and  Boline  by  Bolinas,  quarters  at  a  2:30  gait.  Joe 
Depoister  has  ridden  a  mile  in  2:32  behind  Milton 
Gear  by  Harry  Gear  and  a  half  in  1:13  behind  the 
three-year-old  pacer  Guy  Miller  by  Guy  McKinney. 
Charley  Clark  has  a  lot  of  promising  green  ones  but 
has  been  going  slow  with  them. 

America  Leads  in  Driving  Horses. 

Mr.  A.  Lowndes  Scott,  of  Piedmont,  Alameda 
county,  California,  who  has  been  traveling  abroad  for 
some  time,  writes  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
from  Berlin,  Germany,  that  he  has  seen  many  fine 
draft  animals  in  Europe,  especially  in  Berlin,  but  that 
he  has  seen  no  driving  horses  that  compare  with  the 
standard  bred  horses  of  America.  He  also  says  he 
has  seen  no  place  to  compare  with  California  although 
he  has  circled  the  globe  since  leaving  home.  Mr.  Scott 
sends  us  a  photograph  of  a  pair  of  Belgian  work 
horses,  taken  on  the  streets  of  Antwerp,  which  shows 
a  very  fine  pair  of  animals.  Mr.  Scott  owns  the  mare 
Laura  Dell  by  Boydell,  dam  by  Challenge  that  will 
foal  to  Searchlight  2:03}  this  year.  Laura  Dell  has 
trialed  in  2:24  and  is  a  fast  and  game  mare.

Stanford  stake  for  foals  of  1904  closes  June  1st. 


Monroe   Salisbury   Aid  not  stop  over  at  Denver  on 
his  way  East  with  the  Butler  horses. 


Laud  Gates'  mare  Dewdrop  knocked  five  seconds 
from  her  former  trial  by  trotting  a  mile  in  2:17  at  San 
Jose  last  Saturday.  Mr.  Gates  was  present  to  see  her 
do  it  and  is  much  pleased  with  the  way  Willard  Zib- 
bell  is  handling  her. 

Several  of  the  best  mares  owned  at  the  Nutwood 
Stock  Farm  are  being  bred  this  year  to  Lord  Aylwin 
an  own  brother  to  John  A  McKerron  2:04£.  Lord 
Aylwin  is  a  pacer  and  showed  a  very  high  rate  of 
speed  as  a  two-year-old.     He  is  now  three. 


Eddie  Mitchell  writes  from  England  that  he  has  set 
Cresceus'  brother,  The  Hangman,  to  pacing  and  that 
he  can  fly  at  that  gait. 

Mr.  I.  C.  Mosher,  of  Los  Angeles,  worked  his  three- 
year-old  Osolo  by  Zombro  a  mile  in  2:211  and  the  heat 
was  trotted  without  a  skip. 


Tiverton,  Dr.  Strong,  George  G.  and  Sweet  Marie 
would  make  a  quartette  for  a  2:05  class  that  would 
draw  quite  a  crowd  at  any  old  track. 


Lisonjero  2:08J  by  Dexter  Prince  wears  the  lighest 
shoes  worn  on  the  Memphis  track.  They  are  made 
of  aluminum  and  weigh  but  21  ounces. 

Zephyr  2:11  by  Zombro  is  said  to  have  grown  and 
filled  out  until  she  weighs  about  1100  pounds.  She  is 
entered  all  through  the  Grand  Circuit. 


Sweet  Marie  2:04|  will  probably  make  her  first  start 
at  Detroit  as  $2000  has  been  offered  for  a  race  between 
the  California  mare  and  Tiverton  2:04J. 

An  Eastern  paper  says  Murray  Howe  worked  a  mile 
In  2:20  at  Memphis  last  week  but  fails  to  state  whether 
it  referred  to  the  horse  or  the  Secretary. 


Pearl  Sinclair,  the  pacing  mare  by  Hanford  Medium 
named  by  P.  E.  Wright  in  the  pacing  classes  on  the 
circuit  this  year  is  out  of  the  dam  of  Kelly  Briggs. 


Tom  Axworthy  trotted  the  first  quarter  of  the 
Memphis  track  in  301  seconds  two  weeks  ago.  He  is 
getting  ready  to  reduce  his  four-year-old  mark  of  2:08$. 


Twenty-five  dollars  extra  spent  in  educating  and 
grooming  a  horse  to  properly  fit  him  for  market  will 
often  add  from  $50  to  $100  and  sometimes  much  more 
than  that  to  his  selling  value. 


James  Thompson  reaohed  Cleveland  May  12th  with 
his  string  of  campaigners  and  sale  horses.  All  arrived 
in  good  shape  and  the  "hoss  critics"  are  much  pleased 
with  John  Caldwell's  condition. 


Sterling  McKinney,  the  young  stallion  by  McKinney 
out  of  a  Director  mare,  worked  a  mile  in  2:26J  recently 
at  Memphis  and  is  booked  for  a  mile  below  2:20  this 
year.  He  is  owned  by  Mr.  Sterling  Holt,  owner  of 
Sidney  Dillon.  

A  duty  of  twenty  per  cent  is  collected  on  all  American 
horses  shipped  into  Canada  unless  they  are  registered. 
Fifty  dollars  iB  the  lowest  valuation  placed  on  a  horse, 
so  it  costs  at  least  ten  dollars  for  duty  at  the  Canada 
custom  houses.  

The  stallion  Silver  Bow,  Jr.,  which  Mr.  Isaac  More- 
house has  named  in  the  2:27  trot  for  the  Breeders 
August  meeting  is  going  sound  this  year  and  if  he  gets 
to  the  raoes  all  right  will  make  the  horse  that  beats 
him  trot  very  fast. 

Horsemen  who  have  visited  Fresno  recently  spean 
in  the  very  highest  terms  of  the  Fresno  track.  No 
pains  will  be  spared  to  have  it  in  the  very  best  condi- 
tion for  fast  work  when  the  Breeders  meeting  is  held 
there,  and  some  fast  records  will  doubtless  be  hung 
up  before  the  close  of  the  racing. 


Thos.  Drais  of  Farmington  owns  a  two-year-old  colt 
by  his  stall'on  Guy  McKinney,  dam  Blanche  Ward, 
the  dam  of  China  Maid  2:05},  that  is  a  natural  and  fast 
trotter  and  large  fine  colt.  Blanche  Ward  is  by 
Onward.  She  is  the  second  dam  of  Guy  McKinney,  so 
this  two-year-old  bears  the  same  relationship  to  Guy 
McKinney  that  the  very  fast  filly  Delilah  2:16}  as  a 
two-year-old,  doeB  to  Zolock  2:09}. 


Maud  Sears  2:21  by  Wayland  W.,  dam  by  Poscora 
Hay  ward  is  expected  to  drop  a  foal  by  Greco  in  a  few 
days,  and  will  be  mated  with  Nutwood  Wilkes  this 
year.  Greco  was  taken  to  Eureka  last  week  and  will 
be  bred  to  a  number  of  high  class  mares  there  this 
year. 

Chris  Smith's  McKinney  colt  out  of  She  2:12J  is 
showing  great  speed  at  the  trot.  John  Phippen  is 
handling  him  at  San  Jose  and  is  making  a  fast  trotter 
out  of  him.  This  colt  was  gelded  last  year,  which 
greatly  improved  his  manners  and  now  he  seems  to 
know  nothing  but  trot. 


The  entries  made  by  Dan  McCarthy  for  the  Breed- 
ers meeting  will  not  start  as  the  wearer  of  the  white 
hat  was  refused  membership  in  the  Breeders  Associa- 
tion.   

It  is  said  that  the  Zombro  mare,  Briquette,  got  all 
out  of  fix  soon  after  she  reached  Denver,  but  is  now 
in  good  shape  again  and  taking  her  usual  amount  of 
work.  

Tidal  Wave  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  and  Virginia  by 
Bob  Mason  were  worked  a  mile  in  2:10  at  Los  Angeles 
last  week,  Virginia  being  slightly  in  the  lead  at  ohe 
finish.  

Sweet  Marie  2:04}  is  now  at  Albany,  New  York  in 
Alta  McDonald's  string.  She  left  California  without 
a  blemish — not  even  so  much  as  a  wind  puff  on  any  of 
her  limbs.  

The  California  horses  that  have  been  entered  at 
Detroit,  Buffalo  and  Readville,  are  nearly  all  entered 
in  the  big  stakes  to  be  trotted  and  paced  at  Syracuse, 
New  York.  ' 

Oro  Belmont  by  Oro  Wilkes,  the  trotter  that  Ray 
Bennett  will  race  on  the  California  tracks  this  season, 
is  out  of  Muscovia,  the  dam  of  the  $6000  three-year- 
old  Mamie  R.  2:15}.      

The  American  Ticket  Brokers  Association,  which 
convened  at  Chicago  last  week,  elected  the  well-known 
horseman,  A.  Ottinger  of  San  Francisco,  as  President 
for  the  ensuing  year.  

At  the  recent  Chicago  sale  Chiming  Bells,  a  five- 
year-old  Drown  mare  by  Chimes,  dam  Alicia  Bell  by 
Liberty  Bells,  brought  $2800,  but  no  other  horse  sold 
brought  as  much  as  $1000. 


The  eight-year-year-old  mare  Gussuro  by  Wildnut, 
dam  Sweetwater  by  Stamboul,  was  driven  a  half  in 
1:05,  last  quarter  in  30|  seconds,  over  the  Readville, 
Mass.  track  a  few  days  ago.  Gussuro  is  an  own  sister 
to  that  very  promisine  trotter  Wilmar  in  John 
Quinn's  string  at  Santa  Rosa. 


T.  C.  Cabney,  who  trained  and  campaigned  the 
sensational  trotter  Morosco  2:12  last  year  has  opened 
"a  new  boarding  and  training  stable  near  the  corner  of 
Devisadero  and  Fulton  streets  this  city  and  will  board 
and  train  horses  for  matinee  or  regular  racing,  or  for 
road  work.  Mr.  Cabney  has  a  brand  new  stable, 
commodious  box  Btalls  and  a  good  location. 


A  two-year-old  by  Coronado  2:12}  trotted  a  mile  in 
2:23  at  Los  Angeles  last  week.  Every  colt  by  this 
horse  shows  speed  and  he  is  as  certain  to  be  a  great 
sire  as  he  lives.  His  service  fee  is  $50  now,  but  the 
day  will  come  when  he  will  be  like  his  sire  McKinney — 
so  extensively  patronized  that  his  fee  will  be  increased 
to  keep  his  book  down  to  a  reasonable  number. 


Clifford  Best,  commonly  known  as  "Sticks, "  died 
recently  at  Los  Angeles,  Cal. ,  of  consumption.  He 
was  very  popular  among  horsemen.  W.  A.  Clark,  Jr., 
provided  for  him  duriDg  his  illness  and  bore  the  ex- 
pense of  the  funeral.  "Sticks"  made  a  business  of 
selling  score  cards  at  Grand  Circuit  meetings.  The 
name  "Sticks"  was  given  him  on  account  of  his  having 
but  one  leg.  

The  Down  East  Sale  catalogue  issued  by  the  Fasig- 
Tipton  Company  shows  that  nearly  500  horses  were 
consigned  to  the  sale  which  has  been  going  on  this 
week  at  Boston.  James  Thompson  took  two  Mc- 
Kinneys  to  the  sale — Eleata  McKinney,  a  brown  filly 
two-year  old  out  of  Elden,  the  dam  of  Eleata  2:081, 
and  Flyaway,  a  four-year-old  black  filly  out  of  a  mare 
by  Memo.    Both  are  trotters. 


Vision  by  Vanquish,  the  Oregon  mare  that  Fred 
Ward  will  take  through  the  California  circuit,  took 
her  record  of  2:121  at  Boise,  Idaho,  in  1903.  She 
started  eight  times  last  year  on  the  Northern  circuit 
but  only  managed  to  win  one  heat  which  was  in  2:19. 
She  was  not  right  at  any  time  during  the  year,  but  if 
she  hits  our  fast  California  tracks  in  shape  this  year 
there  will  be  something  doing. 


We  are  pleased  to  know  that  Mr.  R.  P.  Lathrop  of 
Hollister  is  the  owner  of  Diva,  the  dam  of  Helen  Keys, 
the  fast  mare  in  the  Butler  string.  Mr.  Lathrop 
writes:  "Diva  is  a  very  fine  individual  and  is  proving 
herself  a  great  broodmare.  At  the  time  I  bought  her 
Bhe  had  a  L.  W.  Russell  colt  by  her  side,  which  I  sold 
at  eight  months  old  for  $200  He  went  to  Elko,  Nevada 
to  go  into  the  stud  at  the  proper  time  for  a  large 
stock  farm  there.  I  have  a  yearling  also  from  her 
now  by  the  same  sire,  L.  W.  Russell,  and  she  has  a 
colt  by  her  side,  as  fine  a  one  as  one  ever  looked  at, 
by  DictatuB  Medium  and  she  is  stinted  again  to  the 
same  horse.  Her  colts  are  all  models  of  grace  and 
beauty  with  heavy  bone  and  good  size  and  no  doubt 
with  proper  work  will  prove  speedy.  I  am  glad  to 
know  that  Helen  Keys  is  turning  out  so  well." 


Thursday,  June  1st,  Is  the  day  of  closing  for  the 
Stanford  Stake  to  be  trotted  by  three-year-olds  in 
1907.  Colts  and  fillies,  now  yearlings,  are  eligible  to 
this  stake.  The  three-year  old  that  is  not  entered  in 
stakes  has  an  opportunity  to  earn  but  very  little 
money,  but  one  that  caD  win  the  Stanford  and  Occi- 
dent stakes  at  the  California  State  Fair  will  place  a 
neat  bank  account  to  the  credit  of  its  owner. 


When  Queen  B.  2:13J  was  racing  up  North  last  year 
she  wore  a  "bird  cage"  over  her  nose  to  keep  the 
clods  from  stinging  that  were  thrown  in  her  face  by 
the  other  horses.  This  "bird  cage"  was  an  immense 
affair  made  of  wire  screen  fully  eighteen  inches  across 
and  nearly  two  feet  long,  but  it  did  not  prevent  her 
beating  such  fast  ones  as  Cavaliero  2:09},  Hassalo  2:11, 
Tidal  Wave  2:13}  and  others  for  the  first  money  in 
the  $2000  stake  at  Salem. 


We  hear  a  great  deal  about  raising  horses  of  "mar- 
ketable size,  but  it  is  marketable  conformation  that 
the  wise  breeder  strives  for.  The  14.2  hand  horse  if 
he  is  put  up  just  right  and  is  well  mannered  will 
bring  a  price  that  is  profitable  to  the  seller.  The 
demand  is  for  handsome,  stylish  and  well-mannered 
horses.  

Stallion  owners  are  reporting  that  not  as  many 
mares  are  being  bred  this  year  as  last.  This  is  a  great 
mistake,  as  the  demand  for  good  horses  is  on  the  in- 
crease and  there  is  no  liability  of  this  demand  falling 
off  any  during  the  next  five  years.  Owners  will  make, 
a  mistake  if  they  do  not  breed  every  mare  possible 
this  season. 

The  fastest  mile  of  the  season  at  the  Tulare  track 
was  paced  last  week  by  the  green  mare  Black  Venus 
by  Rajah  out  of  the  dam  of  Edith  2:10.  This  mare  is 
in  the  string  of  J.  J.  SaDgster  and  the  other  day  she 
turned  the  track  in  2:10$  hooked  to  a  cart.  This 
surely  gives  her  a  look  in  for  some  of  the  money  in 
the  green  classes. 

The  Spokane  Inter-State  Fair  has  arranged  its  race 
program  which  consists  of  one  harness  race  a  day 
with  four  runs.  The  harness  events  are  as  follows: 
Oct.  9,  2:11  pace,  $1000;  Oct.  10,  2:30  trot,  $500;  Oct.  11, 
2:25  pace,  $500;  Oct  11,  2:25  pace,  $500;  Oct.  12, 
Gentlemen's  race,  silver  cup;  Oct.  13,  three-year-old 
pace,  $300;  Oct.  14,  2:15  trot,  $1000. 


Every  horseman  that  has  an  entry  in  the  Loa 
Angeles  purses  should  now  turn  his  attention  to  the 
Fresno  meeting  of  the  Breeders  Association.  Fresno 
is  the  next  meeting  place  on  the  circuit  after  Los 
Angelrs  and  as  there  will  be  a  week  between  the  meet- 
ings the  horses  should  all  be  in  shape  to  race  well  and 
fast  when  they  hit  that  velvet  track  at  the  Raisin 
City.  Look  over  the  program  in  thiB  issue  and  see 
tbe  list  of  big  purses  offered. 

The  best  and  safest  way  to  ship  valuable  young  colta 
and  fillies  by  rail  is  to  partition  off  one  end  of  a  good 
freight  car,  then  spread  a  thick  layer  of  good  hay 
evenly  all  over  the  floor  and  turn  the  youngster  loose. 
A  broodmare  with  a  foal  at  foot  may  also  be  shipped 
in  the  same  manner.  The  bottom  board  of  the  par- 
tition should  reBt  upon  the  floor  or  bo  near  ii  as  to 
prevent  any  possibility  of  the  animal's  pushing  a  foot 
and  leg  under  it  when  lying  down. 


Mark  Twain  tells  a  story  of  a  minister  who  had  a 
call  in  the  country.  He  had  to  ride  nine  miles  over  a 
rough  road.  The  horse  was  spirited  and  the  cart  had 
no  springs  and  the  dominie  was  jolted  up  and  down 
until  be  wished  he  was  dead.  Finally  the  horse  ran 
away  and  the  minister  was  dumped  in  the  road. 
WheD  he  was  picked  up  with  his  collar  bone  broken, 
he  Baid:  "If  ever  I  go  to  hell,  I  want  to  ride  on  that 
road,  as  I  shall  be  glad  when  I  get  there." 


Bessie  Barnes,  the  Zombro  mare  entered  in  the 
Pacific  Slope* Stakes  by  W.  G.  Durfee,  paced  a  mile 
May  16th  in  2:12}  at  the  Los  Angeles  track.  The  first 
half  was  in  1:04,  then  she  was  slowed  up  and  the  three- 
quarter  was  in  361  seconds.  She  came  the  last  quarter 
in  31}  and  finished  the  mile  rather  easily.  Helen  Dare 
by  Zombro  trotted  a  mile  in  2:18  and  is  pointed  for 
first  money  in  the  California  $2000  stake  in  the 
Breeders  Meeting,  in  which  she  is  entered. 


Delia  McCarty,  the  McKinney  mare  raised  by  Jerry 
Doran  of  Oakland  and  now  owned  by  Mr.  S.  S.  Ber- 
nard of  Colorado  Springs,  has  been  matched  to  trot 
against  Mr.  J.  S.  Richardson's  Strathway  gelding 
Getaway  at  the  Denver  meeting.  Tbe  race  is  for 
$2000  a  side  and  will  come  off  at  Overland  Park  track 
June  29th.  It  is  mile  heats,  best  three  in  five.  Delia 
McCarty  is  by  McKinney,  dam  Lady  O.  by  T.  O  ,  a 
son  of  Anteeo.  Getaway  is  by  Strathway  out  of  a 
Dexter  Prince  mare.    

The  Sacramento  Union  says  there  will  be  a  double 
track  for  the  street  car  line  run  out  to  the  new  State 
Fair  grounds  and  completed  in  time  for  the  fair  thiB 
year.  At  the  grounds  the  scene  is  a  busy  one.  The 
race  track  is  being  laid  out.  Five  four-horse  teams 
and  as  many  men  as  can  be  used  are  employed  in  this 
work.  A  large  amount  of  lumber  is  already  on  the 
ground.  It  will  take  a  street  car  about  thirty  minutes 
to  run  to  the  new  State  Fair  grounds  from  the  corner 
of  Seventh  and  K  streets. 


The  new  three-quarter  mile  track  at  Davisville  is 
being  constructed  on  the  land  just  east  of  the 
Southern  Pacific  depot  at  that  place,  which  is  the 
junction  of  two  railway  lines.  The  land  is  surrounded 
by  a  row  of  large  olive  trees,  and  from  these  will  take 
its  name  of  Olive  Park.  A  grape  vineyard  covers  the 
ground  and  enough  vines  will  be  taken  from  the  oval 
to  make  room  for  a  track  forty  feet  in  width.  Mr.  I. 
B.  Hughes,  proprietor  of  the  Hunt  Hotel  in  Davisville, 
is  the  moving  spirit  in  the  enterprise. 

Chas.  A.  Smith  of  Phoenix,  Arizona,  now  owns  the 
Dexter  Prince  stallion  Senator  L.  2:23},  holder  of  the 
world's  four  mile  trotting  record  of  10:12.  Senator  L. 
is  a  son  of  the  great  thoroughbred  broodmare  FanDie 
Bayswater  that  also  prod  uced  Bayswater  Wilkes  2:25, 
sire  of  Kelly  Briggs  2:09}.  Senator  L.  has  made  a 
heavy  season  in  the  stud  this  year  and  is  a  great 
favorite  with  Arizona  breeders  as  be  is  a  grand  in- 
dividual weighing  1320  pounds,  stands  161  bands,  and 
can  trot  through  the  stretch  anytime  in  331  seconds. 

Mr.  Siljan,  who  owns  the  trotter  Birdcatcher  by 
Direct,  and  will  race  him  in  California  this  year,  has 
the  horse  in  fine  shape  at  tbe  San  Jose  track.  Bird- 
catcher  is  the  only  trotter  in  the  United  States  that 
has  the  distinction  of  being  a  returned  Alaskan.  . 
Monroe  Salisbury  took  him  to  Nome  in  1899  and  used 
him  in  drawing  loads  to  the  mines.  He  sold  him  to  a 
teamster  who  used  him  awhile  and  finally  got  him 
mired  in  a  prospeot  hole,  when  Mr.  Siljan  happened 
along  and  bought  the  horse,  his  mate  ■  ;he  wago» 
for  $100.

Pleasanton  Pointers. 


Ple  -  5 — Now  that  all  of  the  trotters 

and  pacers  that  are  to  race  at  Denver  and  in  the 
Grand  Circuit  have  been  shipped  East  things  have 
taken  on  a  more  quiet  air  at  the  Pleasanton  track 
and  no  very  fast  miles  have  been  recorded  during 
the  past  two  weeks.  This  does  not  mean  that  the 
trainers  are  not  keeping  busy  for  they  all  seem  to 
have  their  hands  full,  but  the  opening  of  the  Cali- 
fornia racing  season  is  over  a  month  away  and  the 
teamsters  will  have  plenty  of  time  to  put  on  the 
finishing  touches.  Fred  Chadbourne  now  has  the  big- 
gest stable  at  the  track  and  in  all  probability  the  best 
one  when  both  quantity  and  quality  are  considered, 
for  his  string  includes  nearly  two  dozen  horses  and 
nearly  half  of  them  have  beaten  2:15  in  their  work. 
A  newcomer  to  bis  stable  is  the  bay  pacer  Alford  D. 
bat  worked  a  mile  in  2:09)  and  a  quarter  in  29 
seconds  for  Charley  De  Ryder,  but  it  is  very  doubt- 
ful if  he  will  be  raced.  Edwin  S.  2:08  worked  a  mile 
last  week  in  2:11]  with  a  half  in  1:03}  and  thelast 
quarter  in  29}  seconds  and  is  in  fine  fettle.  The  green 
pacer  Doctor  J.  also  owned  by  E.  A.  Servis  worked  in 
2:13,  half  in  1:03,  which  time  has  also  been  equaled  by 
the  green  Diablo  sidewheeler  John  R.Conway.  Mona 
Wilkes  (2)  2:17  by  Demonio  2:11),  owned  by  James 
Marshall  has  paced  an  easy  mile  in  2:15,  quarter  in 
31  seconds  for  Chadbourne  whiie  Mr.  Marshall's  four- 
year-old  filly  by  the  sire  of  Mamie  R.  2:15J  out  of  the 
dam  of  Mona  Wilkes  has  paced  in  2:16  vita  a  quarter 
in  32  seconds.  Both  act  like  they  will  do.  Martin 
Carter's  three-year-old  filly  Elma  S.  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes  ha9  trotted  in  2:29},  quarter  in  34  seconds  and 
the  grey  gelding  What  Is  It  2:16)  by  the  same  sire 
has  worked  in  2:1  8  with  a  quarter  at  a  2:08  gait.  Mr. 
Chadbourne  thinks  very  highly  of  Dr.  Masoero's 
three-year-old  McKinney  filly  Yolande  out  of  Musco- 
vita  by  Guy  Wilkes  and  as  she  has  trotted  in  2:19) 
with  a  half  in  1:08  it  makes  her  look  like  she  will  do 
to  go  to  the  races. 

There  is  another  McKinney  three-year-old  here 
that  is  showing  up  remarkably  well  in  his  work  and 
this  one  is  a  bay  colt  called  Kenneth  C,  out  of 
Mountain  Maid,  dam  of  Tom  Carneal  2:08f,  owned 
and  trained  by  S.  K.  Trefry  This  coit  is  a  nicely 
made,  good  going  youngster  that  knows  nothing  but 
trot  and  the  other  morning  he  worked  a  mile  in 
2:20),  half  in  1:09  with  such  ease  that  all  the  boys 
say  he  will  beat  2:15  sure  this  fall.  Mr.  Trefry  is 
also  training  Tom  Carneal  2:08}  by  Diablo  and  has 
him  going  along  nicely  but  has  not  given  him  any 
fast  workouts  yet. 

Al  McDonald  has  a  big  stable  full  of  youngsters 
and  green  ones  and  there  are  four  or  five  of  them 
that  will  be  raced  this  season.  The  fastest  work  of 
the  lot  was  a  mile  in  2:15  with  a  quarter  in  32  sec- 
onds by  the  bay  pacer  Little  Jib  by  Nutwood  Wilkes 
dam  by  Director  and  this  fellow  acts  like  a  sure 
2:08  horse.  He  wears  the  "catalogue"  and  knee 
spreaders  besides  but  he  has  the  speed  just  the  same 
and  Mc  thinks  well  of  him.  Prince  McKinney  a 
two-year-old  by  McKinney  out  of  a  Dexter  Prince 
mare  has  trotted  a  mile  in  2:25  with  with  a  quar- 
ter in  35  seconds  and  Is  one  of  the  best  two-year, 
olds  at  the  track.  Both  of  the  above  are  owned  by 
Fleury  Gomet  of  San  Francisco.  Another  two-year- 
old  trotter  In  the  McDonald  string  that  acts  like  a  trot- 
ter Is  a  bay  stud  colt.by  Gossiper  owned  by  Chas.  Neal 
of  Oakland .  He  has  been  worked  only  about  a  month 
but  can  beat  a  mile  in  2:35  and  has  shown  quarters  at 
a  2:20  gait.  Charley  T.  by  Zombro  has  worked  in 
2:20  and  Ray  McGregor  by  Rey  Direct  2:10  out  of  a 
Steinway  mare  has  been  the  circuit  in  2:23. 

Among  the  horsemen  that  left  last  week  for  Denver 
with  their  horses  are  Ben  Chaooya,  Mr.  Brown,  and  H. 
H.  Dunlap.  The  only  record  hor6e  in  the  bunch  was 
the  pacer  Rey  del  Diablo  2:14}  by  Diablo  but  all  of 
the  horses  have  worked  fast  enough  to  get  part  of  the 
money.  Mr.  Dunlap's  gelding  Harold  D.  by  Dexter 
Prince  paced  a  mile  in  2:11  with  a  quarter  in  30)  sec- 
onds and  If  be  races  good  should  make  them  step  in 
lilm. 

Will  De  liyder  has  seven   or  eight  head  of  green 
In  training  but  will   hardly  havo  anything  to 
take  to  tbe  I 

Dr.  lUcks  has  been  training  eight  green  ones  and 
youngsters  but  has  turned  tbem  ail  out  ind  will  not 
take  them  up  again  antil  fall 

J.  I).  Springer's  horses  are  all  working  in  good 
shape  but  ho  has  not  been  riding  very  fast  with  any  of 
them.  Sonoma  Girl  has  all  her  speed  with  her  this 
spriog  and  Mr.  Springer  has  great  hopes  of  getting 
her  to  the  races. 

er  Bunch's  fastest  work  has  been  a  mllein  2:12 

behind  the  five-year-old   pacing  mare    Derbertha    by 

Charles  Derby  out  of  tho  famous  old   mare  Bertha, 

dam   of   Do\  Derby  2  0U.  Diablo  2:09},  etc.,  and  he 

make  a  great  mare  out  of  her  as  sbo  has 

1:02  and    quarters   at   a  two-minute 


gait.  The  roan  mare  Mildred  O.  by  Secretary,  dam 
Vesper  Bells  by  Dawn,  is  training  nicely  this  year 
and  has  worked  in  2:25  with  a  quarter  in  0:33.  She  is 
owned  by  Mr.  J.  W.  Offutt  of  Petaluma  and  will  be 
raced  late  in  tbe  season.  A  very  promising  youngster 
in  Mr.  Bunch's  care  is  A.  L.  Reed's  black  three-year, 
old  colt  Joe  Reed  by  McKinney  out  of  Catinka  2:20} 
by  Abbottsford.  He  has  not  been  asked  to  go  a  mile 
yet  but  is  a  very  fast,  level-headed  colt  and  acts  like  a 
sure  race  horse.  B.  S.  McMahan.

Is  Worth  $io,ooo. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman—  Please  tell  me  what, 
in  your  opinion,  is  the  value  of  an  almost  perfectly 
formed,  coal  black  stallion,  15  1)  hands,  weight  1050, 
five  years  old,  with  good  breeding,  somewhat  lazy, 
and  who  never  cares  what  goes  on  about  him,  who 
can  pace  a  half  with  comfort  in  one  minute  and  one 
second  over  a  very  rough  and  dusty  track.  He  can  go 
the  route,  but  I  have  been  afraid  to  have  him  do  so 
on  account  of  the  rough  going.  This  same  horse  won 
a  two-year-old  trot  in  3:10  and  if  necessary  could  have 
trotted  very,  much  faster.  He  has  never  been  in  a 
race  Bince,  has  never  had  a  blanket  on  him  in  his  life, 
nor  a  particle  of  dope,  nor  a  bandage,  neither  has  he 
been  sick  a  day,  and  is  as  sound  as  the  day  he  was 
foaled,  and  never  getB  tired.  All  this  may  read  like  a 
dream,  but  it  is  not.    Yours  very  sincerely, 

F.  H.  Shanks. 

[The  editor  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  read 
the  above  letter  to  Mr.  C.  A.  Durfee,  formerly  owner 
of  McKinney  2:11},  that  he  Bold  for  $25,000,  and  his 
opinion  was  that  a  five-year-old  stallion  that  comes 
up  to  the  description  given  in  the  letter  is  worth 
$10,000.]  ^____ 

Los  Angeles  Driving  Club. 

Secretary  Redpath  of  the  above  named  club  has 
arranged  for  matinee  racing  on  Tuesday  next,  Memo- 
rial Day.  There  will  be  Beven  races.  The  horses  are 
in  good  condition,  and  Secretary  Redpath  has  prom- 
ised to  have  a  swell  program.  Entries  closed  Thurs-

&  Feagans,  Marshall  Cooper  and  W.  A.  Duncombe. 

Mr.  Cooper  recently  purchased  the  high-class  horse 
Athaio,  which  will  be  one  of  the  contestants  in  the 
2:20  pace. 

W.  C.  Brain  will  start  his  youngster,  Van  Neer,  in 
the  2:40  class,  this  being  his  initial  performance.  He

Sanders  Has  Some  Fast  Ones. 


Millard  Sanders  has  the  laugh  on  a  lot  of  trainers 
at  Memphis  track  now.  All  of  last  winter  when  the 
Hot  Air  Circuit  was  racing  horses  at  a  merry  clip, 
there  was  considerable  discussion  as  to  whether  Tom 
Axworthy  would  ever  learn  to  get  away  good.  Mil- 
lard always  contended  that  he  got  away  last  fall  fast 
enough  in  every  race  he  started  In  to  win  them  all, 
and  that  when  the  time  came  to  step  him  faster  away 
from  the  wire  that  he  would  be  able  to  do  so.  There 
was  a  great  deal  of  argument  on  the  subject,  and 
they  told  Millard  that  so  far  he  had  never  gotten 
away  fast,  but  the  reason  for  it  is  now  apparent  to 
all  of  them.  Tom  was  lame  last  fall  and  Mb  legs  were 
not  in  the  best  of  condition,  but  right  now  they  are 
clean  as  a  new  milled  dollar.  Just  to  prove  to  the 
boys  that  he  was  right,  he  showed  the  way  from  the 
wire  to  the  quarter  pole  with  Tom  the  other  day  in 
30^  seconds.  This  quarter  has  Btopped  all  argu- 
ments, and  even  the  most  contrary  man  in  the 
bunch  willingly  declared  that  Millard  was 
right.  The  best  mile  Tom  has  been  is  2:17. 
But  Tom  is  not  the  only  Axworthy  in  the 
stable;  in  fact,  all  of  them  are  by  that  sire 
There  are  two  extra  good  fillies  in  the  stable  that 
will  later  develop  into  corkers,  barring  the  accident 
route.  They  are  Nelda,  a  full  sister  to  Tom,  and 
Hilda  out  of  Bellwood  A.  The  former  stepped  a  half 
in  1.14,  while  the  latter  stepped  a  half  in  1:12).  Both 
of  them  are  two  years  old.  Millard  does  not  believe 
in  even  harnessing  a  youngster  a  day  after  he  has 
worked  satisfactorily,  and  he  regards  these  letups  as 
being  of  great  benefit  to  the  colt. — Trotter  and  Pacer

Hawley's  Opinion  of  Two  Champions. 


It  will  be  gratifying  to  all  admirers  of  a  truly  great 
horse  that  Sweet  Marie  haB  left  the  Pacific  Slope  in 
perfect  health  and  condition  and  ready  to  begin  her 
active  training  for  her  coming  campaign.  So  much 
interest  always  attaches  itself  to  a  trotter  of  super- 
lative greatness  that  everything  connected  with  this 
the  greatest  race  mare  the  world  has  ever  seen,  is 
important.  Sweet  Marie  was  last  season  so  immeas- 
urably superior  to  every  trotter  she  raced  against 
that  her  only  defeat  did  not  in  the  least  tarnish  her 
brilliant  record,  for  every  man  familiar  with  her  real 
capacity,  her  marvelous  speed,  and  her  still  more 
wonderful  class,  knew  that  under  no  circumstances 
wouln  it  be  possible  for  her  to  meet  defeat  in  such  a 
field  had  she  been  done  full  justice  by  all  connected 
with  her.  Sweet  Marie's  defeat  at  Hartford  was  dis- 
counted, and  no  one  felt  much  surprise  that  she 
should  have  been  given  the  one  black  mark  in  her 
otherwise  clean  score.  No  trotter  has  ever  appeared 
in  America  that  Bhowed  so  convincingly  such  superi- 
ority over  any  and  all  comers  as  did  this  superb 
daughter  of  MclCinney.  While  she  is  not  possessed 
of  the  marvelous  flight  of  speed  which  has  made  Lou 
Dillon  famouB,  she  has  qualities  which  are  lacking  in 
the  queen,  and  is  on  the  whole  much  better  qualified 
to  race  from  one  end  of  the  Grand  Circuit  to  the 
other,  and  to  be  pitted  against  the  best  that  can  be 
found  with  which  to  battle  for  supremacy.  Sweet 
Marie  was  capable  last  October  of  trotting  three 
heats   in  2:04  or  better,   and  certainly   no  other  har- 


her  up,  strengthened  her  constitution  and  developed 
her  physically  was  only  to  have  been  expected,  for 
many  times  before  has  he  done  this  very  thing.  I  do 
not  believe  that  Budd  Doble  has  ever  had  in  his  charge 
for  any  length  of  time  a  trotter  of  championship  mold 
with  which  he  did  not  accomplish  as  much  or  more 
than  had  been  done  by  his  predecessor,  and  if  Lou 
Dillon  is  fortunate  enough  to  remain  in  his  charge 
during  the  coming  season  and  be  under  his  direct 
supervision  and  control,  I  think  the  world  will  see  a 
series  of  performances  never  even  approached  by  any 
other  trotters,  for  if  Lou  Dillon  could  trot  in  2:01  when 
woefully  out  of  condition,  it  is  but  reasonable  to  expect 
her,  when  trained  to  the  hour,  fitted  up  by  a  past 
master  of  his  art,  and  driven  with  consummate  skill, 
to  trot  considerably  faster  than  two  minutes.  I  for 
one  should  be  immensely  pleaBed  if  this  veteran 
driver  should  be  the  firBt  professional  to  drive  a 
trotter  in  2:00  or  better  under  normal  conditions,  and 
ths  circumstances  that  would  permit  of  such  a  per- 
formance on  her  part  would  also  make  it  possible  for 
owner  to  drive  her  in  2:00  to  wagon,  and  of  all  the 
sportsmen  who  have  ever  lived,  none  were  more  justly 
entitled  to  such  an  honor  than  C.  K.  G  Billings. —

Reached  New  York  All  Right. 

Mr.  James  Butler's  string  of  campaigners  that  win- 
tared  in  California  arrived  at  the  Empire  track  Satur- 
day, looking  in  first-class  shape  after  the  long  journey 
across  the  Rockies,  says  Trotter  and  Pacer  of  May  18. 


Rosa  Sprague,  dam  op  McKinney 


neas  horse  has  ever  been  capable  of  3uch  a  perform- 
ance unless  it  was  the  present  record  holder,  Lou 
Dillon. 

Cresceus  at  his  very  best  might  have  accomplished 
this  feat,  yet  it  is  not  at  all  an  assured  fact  that  he 
could  do  so,  while  Major  Dalmar  has  never  shown 
that  he  had  the  ability  to  trot  three  such  miles.  It  is 
because  she  is  so  marvelously  game,  so  thoroughly 
reliable,  such  a  superb  individual  and  withal  so  capa- 
ble of  defeating  any  and  all  comers  that  this  mare  is 
the  popular  idol  of  the  racing  world  today.  When 
absolutely  fit  there  is  not  a  trotter  in  active  training 
who  will  take  part  in  public  races  this  season  who  has 
a  chance  to  lower  her  colors,  for  the  very  good  reaBOn 
that  she  can  out-trot,  out-stay,  out-game  any  who  will 
be  pitted  against  her.  No  other  trotter  ever  seen  has 
been  possessed  of  anything  like  her  class,  except 
Cresceus,  and  no  higher  compliment  can  be  pi"3  *"9* 
than  to  say  that  she  was  the  equal  in  any  respect  to 
this  most  magnificent  of  all  trotting  stallions.  While 
this  superb  race  mare  has  been  hibernating  in  her 
native  clime,  the  fastest  of  all  trotters,  Lou  Dillon, 
has  also  been  benefitted  by  return  to  the  state  which 
produced  her,  and  according  to  the  latest  reports 
from  her  training  ground  is  in  better  condition  than 
ever  and  ready  to  accomplish  the  impossible  if 
necessary. 

It  is  not  the  least  surprising  that  Lou  Dillon  is  in 
perfect  condition  and  vastly  improved  by  her  winter 
in  California,  for  she  has  been  in  the  hands  of  the 
greatest  master  of  the  art  of  conditioning  and  training 
that  the  world  has  ever  seen,  and   that   he  has  built 


They  were  in  charge  of  |Mr.  Charles  De  Rvder,  the 
driver  and  assistant  trainer  to  the  veteran  Monroe 
Salisbury.  After  considering  the  matter,  it  was 
thought  better  to  ship  the  horses  straight  to  the 
Empire  rather  than  to  stop  off  for  the  meetings  at 
Denver  and  other  places  en  route,  as  was  contemplated 
for  a  time.  The  stable  has  been  beseiged  by  visitors 
since  reaching  the  track  and  the  appearance  of  the 
horses  excites  general  commendation.  Of  course,  the 
greatest  eagerness  was  evinced  to  seethe  horses  which 
joined  the  stable  during  the  winter  in  California.  The 
sensational  five-year-old  mare  Helen  Keyes  attracted 
especial  attention.  She  is  by  Sidney  Dillon,  out  of  a 
mare  by  Piedmont,  and  looks  as  good  as  all  that  has 
been  said  about  her.  The  green  pacer  Bolivar  was 
also  carefully  looked  over  by  visiting  horsemen.  The 
Phantom,  that  will  carry  the  stable's  colorB  in  the 
great  three-year-old  futurities  this  year,  came  in  for 
a  large  share  of  the  attention,  as  did  the  green  trotter 
Danube,  one  of  the  candidates  for  the  M.  and  M.  at 
at  Detroit.  Last  year's  sensation  in  the  West,  Izetta 
2:134,  another  new  one,  was  also  favorably  commented 
upon,  while  the  old  favorites  of  the  string,  Consuela 
S.,  California  Cresceus,  etc.,  were  found  to  be  looking 
fine.  With  the  California  contingent  and  those  that 
were  wintered  at  the  Empire,  Mr.  Butler  will  have 
quite  a  formidable  stable  "down  the  line." 


Fairs  May  Yet  Be  Held  at  StocktDn. 

Some  time  ago  the  historical  fair  grounds  at  Stock- 
ton were  sold  to  satisfy  a  debt  contracted  by  the 
Directors  of  the  San  Joaquin  Valley  Agricultural 
Association,  and  now  a  suit  has  been  filed  in  the  name 
of  the  People  of  the  State  of  California  against  August 
Muenter,  Sr.,  in  which  it  is  claimed  that  the  sale  was 
not  according  to  law  and  therefore  void.  David 
Young,  the  well-known  horse  breeder  and  farmer  of 
San  Joaquin  county,  with  several  other  life  members 
of  the  Agricultural  Aisociation,  are  the  real  plaintiffs, 
although  the  case  has  been  brought  in  the  name  of 
the  State.  The  following  are  some  of  the  points  upon 
which  the  plaintiffs  rely: 

_  It  does  not  appear  from  the  minutes  of  the  associa- 
tion that  the  Directors  were  ever  instructed  to  make 
the  note,  consequently  the  plaintiffs  assume  that  the 
Directors  acted  for  themselveB  only 

The  by-laws  of  the  association  provide  that  no 
debts  exceeding  $1000  in  the  aggregate  shall  be  in- 
curred after  the  finances  of  any  year  have  been 
balanced.  The  note  given  was  for  a  much  greater  sum. 
No  execution  can  run  against  State  property  unless 
specific  provision  has  been  made  for  it,  which  was  not 
the  case  in  this  instance. 

The  State  law  provides  that  agricultural  societies 
may  be  sued  for  debt,  but  it  does  not  provide  any 
means  of  enforcing  judgment. 

The  State  law  allows  the  incurrence  of  mortgage  in- 
debtedness not  to  exceed  S5000  provided  the  money  is 
for  the  purchase  of  real  property,  but  adds  that  the 
Directors  are  personally  liable  for  any  indebtedness 
incurred  in  excess  of  that  amount.  In*  this  case  the 
$5000  limit  was  exceeded,  and  the  debt  was  not  in- 
curred for  the  purchase  of  real  property. 

The  minutes  of  the  association  fail  to  show  the  pay- 
ment of  any  claims  whatever,  and  Lf  any  record  exists 
it  must  be  in  the  bookkeeper's  accounts,  which  are 
not  of  legal  effect. 

The  association  commenced  to  violate  its  by-laws 
and  the  State  laws  at  the  close  of  its  business  in  1884. 
Liabilities  continued  to  increase  from  that  time  up  to 
1897,  when  they  amounted  to  $16,000. 

A  protest  was  filed  by  the  State  Attorney  General 
against  the  sale  of  the  property  when  that  sale  was 
made. 

The  State  law  provides  a  way  to  sell  State  property, 
but  under  it  the  money  could  not  have  been  applied 
to  wipe  out  the  note.  It  does  not  provide  for  such 
proceedings  as  were  taken,  however. 

Attorney  Muenter  has  been  bard  at  work  on  the 
complaint  for  ten  days,  and  it  is  still  unfinished.  When 
it  is  drafted  Attoroeys  Jacobs  &  Plack  will  take  a 
hand  at  it  and  the  document  will  next  be  submit!? d 
to  the  Attorney-General.  If  the  plaintiffs  win  their 
case  and  tbe  State  recovers  the  land,  the  grounds  will 
again  be  used  for  the  holding  of  races  during  fair 
time. 

Boston  Work  Horse  Parade. 


A  second-hand  Moyer  cart,  a  second-hand  Mc- 
Murrray  cart,  and  a  second-hand  Frazier  sulky  are 
for  sale  at  a  low  figure  by  the  Kenney  Mfg.  Co.  at  531 
Valencia  street. 


The  Third  Annual  Parade  of  tbe  Boston  Work 
Horse  Parade  Association  will  occur  May  30tb,  begin- 
ning at  eight  o'clock  in  the  morning.  This  will  be,  by 
much,  the  largest  of  the  three  parades  so  far  held. 
There  are  five  hundred  and  fifty  entries,  which  means 
a  procession  at  least  four  miles  long,  and  a  display  of 
eight,  or  nine  hundred  horses. 

Particularly  interesting  will  be  the  old  horse  class. 
In  this  class  there  are  two  divisions:  ODe  open  to 
horses  that  have  been  in  active  service  for  fifteen 
years  or  more  and  one  division  open  to  horses  that 
have  been  in  active  service  for  ten  years  or  more  and 
less  that  fifteen.  There  are  nearly  fifty  entriesin  these 
two  divisions.  The  prizes  for  the  old  horse  class  con. 
sist  of  gold  and  silver  medals  and  sums  of  money  and 
also  "highly  commended"  ribbons.  This  class  will  be 
an  object  lesson  in  showing  how  far  good  care  and 
kind  treatment  will  go  to  prolong  the  life  of  a  horse 
and  to  keep  him  in  good  condition. 

Boston  has  always  been  noted  for  the  beauty  of  its 
draught  horses,  the  type  preferred  in  that  city  being 
a  well-rounded  horse  with  rather  short  legs  and  arch- 
ing neck;  and  this  parade  will  undoubtedly  be  the 
finest  exhibition  of  draught  horses  ever  seen  in  this 
country,  if  not  in  the  world. 

There  will  be  all  kinds  of  teams,  ranging  from  a 
single  horse  up  to  the  six-in-hand,  including  three- 
abreast  and  some  spike  teams.  In  the  truckman 
class  there  will  be  seven  fours,  two  of  coal  black 
horses,  two  of  gray  and  the  other  three  of  mixed 
colors.  In  another  class,  the  grocers,  there  will  be  a 
six-horse  team  of  gray  horses  which  probably  has  no 
superior  in  this  country. 

The  judging  begins  at  eight  A.  M.,  and  will  take 
about  two  hours.  Then  the  parade  starts  and  the 
horses  pass  before  the  reviewing  stand,  the  prizes  and 
ribbons  to  be  awarded  as  they  pass  by. 

Great  pains  has  been  taken  to  obtain  fair  and  cbm- 
petent  judges,  and  representative  horsemen  will  be  in 
attendance  for  this  purpose  from  all  parts  of  Mas. 
8achusett8,  and  from  Maine,  New  Hampshire  and 
Vermont. 

No  entry  fees  ara  charged,  and  the  association  Is  a 
purely  charitable  one,  its  only  object  being  to  improve 
the  condition  and  treatment  of  work  hor

About  a  Santa  Rosa  Visit. 


"CISCO  Cal.,  May  23,  1905. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman-:— On  a  visit  to  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm,  the  former  home  of  Sidney  Dillon, 
Lou  Dillon,  Dolly  Dillon  and  other  noted  trotting 
cracks,  and  now  the  home  of  Lou  Milton,  By  By, 
Biscari,  Carlotta  W  likes,  etc.,  the  value  of  producing 
dams  in  a  trotting  pedigree  was  never  more  convinc- 
ingly demonstrated  than  in  the  breeding  of  these 
mares  and  their  sons  and  daughters.  To  recount  the 
brilliant  turf  career  of  their  produce  would  be  like 
telling  a  familiar  story.  All  along  the  lines  the 
standard  of  excellence  in  individuality,  performances 
and  blood  elements  of  the  above  are  being  advanced' 
It  requires  a  thorough  knowledge  of  pedigrees,  com- 
bination of  blood  lines,  that  have  proved  most  success- 
ful In  the  past  in  producing  the  class  of  young  animals 
that  can  now  be  found  in  the  beautiful  city  of  Santa 
Rosa.  It  is  a  natural  gift  of  horsemanship  to  select 
stallions  and  broodmares  for  speed  producers.  These 
points  should  never  be  lost  sight  of  by  the  farmer  and 
young  men  or  new  breeder.  In  making  the  selection 
of  his  mares,  the  breeder  must  be  guided  to  a  certain 
extent  by  the  character  and  breeding  of  the  stallion 
with  which  they  are  to  be  mated.  Some  lines  of  blood 
are  not  popular  as  producing  a  uniform  and  high  rate 
of  speed  in  the  male  line,  yet  are  of  unlimited  value  as 
producers  on  the  female  side;  particularly  those 
branches  which  come  through  Mambrino  Chief  (his 
sons),  American  Star  (his  sons),  The  Moor  (his  sons), 
Mambrino  Patchen  (his  sons),  imp.  Diomed,  Glencoe, 
Trustee,  Australian,  Lexington,  Venture,  Margrave, 
Planet,  Capt.  Webster,  etc. 

As  to  the  stallion's  temperament,  he  should  be  good 
headed,  good  gaited  and  stand  a  drive  and  hard 
urging.  The  broodmare  should  be  just  the  opposite, 
with  plenty  of  snap  and  nerve  force,  as  the  latter  is 
the  most  valuable  quality  of  all  for  a  high  rate  of 
speed.  Nerve  force  is  to  an  animal  what  electricity 
is  in  a  motor  engine. 

Mr.  Turner  has  at  present  what  I  should  consider 
some  great  young  prospective  sires  of  speed,  and 
frorr-  what  I  saw  of  the  youngsters' dispositions,  gait 
and  manners  I  will  be  greatly  mistaken  if  they  do  not 
prove  such.  Someone  will  in  the  near  future  own  a 
phenomenal  all-around  youngster  that  is  now  at  the 
Santa  Rosa  Farm. 

Not  the  least  among  the  questions  that  should  not 
be  overlooked  is  that,  of  opportunity  of  a  young 
stallion,  his  produce,  also  the  young  broodmare's. 
Opportunity  cuts  a  large  figure  in  the  making  of  a 
reputation  of  a  person,  stallion,  farm  or  a  broodmare, 
and  in  the  founding  of  a  farm  and  trotting  family. 
Having  selected  the  stallion  the  question  is  how  shall 
he  be  given  the  best  opportunity?  First,  there  are 
persons  who  believe  he  should  have  a  creditable  turf 
record.  The  first  move,  I  am  of  the  opinion,  is  the 
most  Important  to  him,  is  the  best  mares  that  one 
would  judge  would  prove  a  happy  nick — mares  with 
individual  merit  ana  the  possession  of  producing 
blood.  Not  only  is  it  necessary  in  full  justice  to  this 
stallion  that  he  has  an  enterprising  owner  who  sees 
that  his  progeny  are  in  good  hands,  and  properly 
fed,  broken  and  trained,  and  raced  in  public.  The 
winner  gains  the  prestige.  The  campaigners  who 
have  stamina  as  well  as  Bpeed  reflect  the  greatest 
glory  upou  their  tires  arid  dams.  The  horse  whose 
owner  trusts  to  the  public  to  bring  out  his  produce 
cannot  boast  of  them  having  fair  opportunities. 

I  can  recall  stallions  now  and  then  who  are  owned 
by  poor  men  and  whose  produce  are  being  worked 
with  the  yiew  of  racing  them.  Such  a  stallion  I  saw 
at  Santa  Rosa — Lynwood  W.  (two-year-old  record 
I  saw  him  trot  a  trial  in  the  year  1894  over 
the  Pougbkeepsto,  N.  Y.,  track  In  2:10  flat,  driven  by 
the  late  John  A  Goldsmith,  who  thought  he  would 
place  a  record  on  him  that  fall  of  2:07  or  2:08.  He  is 
now  proving  what  any  intelligent  person  could  but 
naturally  expect  of  him— judging  by  his  breeding, 
conformation  and  gait — a  uniform  producer  of  a  high 
rate  of  speed,  also  good  Individuals,  color,  gait  and 
soundness.  I  can  now  call  to  mind  four  of  his  pro- 
duce without  records  that  can  trot  today  in  2:15  or 
bettor,  and  trot  quarters  In  31  seconds  or  better. 
This  great  prospective  sire  has  had  no  gifted  pen  to 
sing  bis  praises,  as  bis  owner  Is  a  very  unaBBumlng 
kind  of  a  gentleman  who  well  knows  that  he  has  a 
great  sire  of  all-around  u-,;lul  animals.  It  is  surely 
quite  a  Bhowing  for  a  stallion 's  first  get— four  young- 
sters that  can  trot  in  2:15,  and  the  only  ones  in 
training. 

I  saw  Mart  Rollins'  handsome,  good-gattcd  brown

In  a  conversation  with  a  group  of  gentlemen 
breeders  and  lovers  of  the  trotting  horse  over  the 
well  known  stallion  Niagara,  formerly  known  as 
Washtucua  Chief,  they'  requested  me  to  give  as 
much  of  his  history  and  correct  breeding  as  I  could 
possibly  give  through  your  journal,  as  such  might 
settle  this  dispute.  Some  time  in  the  years  of  1878  to 
1SS0  the  same  muddle  then  existed  over  his  breeding 
as  in  these  days  over  the  true  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon. 
I  unfortunately  was  mixed  up  in  that  muddle  as  in 
the  one  that  is  now  going  the  rounds  over  Lou  Milton. . 
The  late  Otto  Holstein,  who  was  in  those  days  noted 
for  his  knowledge  and  ability  as  a  tabulator  of  pedi- 
grees and  turf  writer,  was  the  main  searcher  for  that 
which  was  lost.  He  claimed  then  that  there  were  two 
Washtucua  Chiefs— one  by  Hill's  Black  Hawk  and 
the  other  by  Mambrino  Chief  11.  Both  horses  came 
West,  one  bred  in  Kentucky  by  Mambrino  Chief  11, 
and  the  other  by  Hill's  Black  Hawk  bred  in  some 
part  of  New  York.  Which  one  of  these  Washtucua 
Chiefs  came  to  California  Mr.  Holstein  was  unable  to 
state.  In  the  spring  of  1S78  or  1879  John  Splan  took 
from  this  State  a  very  handsome  speedy  mare  well 
known  then  as  the  Stark  mare  by  Niagara  and  sold 
her  to  some  priest  in  or  about  Glen  Falls,  N.  Y.  His 
name  I  am  now  unable  to  recall,  but  this  priest,  Mr. 
Holstein  and  myself  took  quite  an  active  part  in  the 
search.  Mr.  Holstein  then  discovered  that  the 
Washtucua  Chief  by  Mambrino  Chief  11,  that  was 
bred  in  Kentucky,  near  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  was  the 
horse  that  camo  to  California,  but  it  was  then  im- 
possible to  locate  the  person  who  bought  and 
imported  the  horse  to  this  State.  Mr.  Holstein  died, 
and  the  priest  and  his  mare,  well-known  as  the  Stark 
mare,  disappeared  from  my  knowledge. 

I  had  about  that  time  purchased  from  that  well- 
known  early  trotting  horse  breeder,  Frank  Malone  of 
San  Francisco,  for  the  late  Daniel  Cook,  the  bay  mare 
Fanny  Malone  grandam  of  Charles  Derby  2:20,  Maud 
C.  2:14,  Klatawah  (three-year-old,  pacing,  2:05J)  and 
others;  later  the  brown  mare  Katie  G.  by  Electioneer, 
dam  Fanny  Malone  by  Niagara,  for  myself,  so  at  that 
time  I  took  quite  a  interest  in  trying  to  get  at  the  true 
faets  as  to  the  sire  of  Niagara.  In  June  18S4,  I  was 
employed  by  the  Fresno  Fair  Ground  Association  to 
build  and  lay  out  their  grounds,  stables  and  track. 
At  one  of  the  meetings  of  the  Directors,  the  elder 
Hughes,  builder  of  the  Hughes  Hotel,  and  quite  a 
prominent  business  man  of  Fresno,  was  sitting  beside 
me  at  that  meeting,  and  asked  me  if  I  ever  knew  a 
horse  called  Niagara,  once  called  Washtucua  Chief. 
I  said  I  was  interested  in  some  of  his  produce.  He 
then  remarked  that  he  imported  that  horse  to  this 
country,  and  purchased  the  horse  in  Cincinnati.  And 
they  informed  him  then  that  hecamefrom  Kentucky. 
Mr. Holstein  in  the  meantime  had  died,  and  the  priest, 
I  couid  not  learn  of  him  whetherdead  ornot.  Onsuch 
evidence  I  naturally  presumed  that  he  was  by  Mam- 
brino Chief  and  so  had  the  bookkeeper  of  the  Cook 
Farm,  now  well-known  as  the  Oakwood  Farm,  enter 
Niagara  as  said  to  be  by  Mambrino  Chief,  and  I  will- 
die  with  the  belief  that  the  mare  Katie  G.  and  her 
sons  and  daughters  carry  that  blood.  I  am  of  the 
opinion  that  there  were  not  many  of  the  produce  of 
Niagara  but  what  I  saw  of  them  that  had  size,  good 
color,  browns  and  bays,  also  good  gaited,  and  always 
found  on  a  trot,  and  four  of  them  with  the  ability  to 
beat  2:20— the  Stark  mare,  Cobb,  Fanny  Malone  and 
the  Charles  Crocker  black  mare,  that  I  doubt  if  San 
Francisco  ever  had  her  equal  as  a  great  all-around 
road  mare,  and  a  noted  fact  that  she  was  for  two 
seasons  barred  out  of  all  green  races,  throughout  this 
State,  in  her  day.  As  for  my  knowledge  of  his  pro- 
duce, I  rate  him  higher  to  know  that  Mr.  Frank 
Malone,  patronized  him  in  his  days.  As  wemust  judge 
men  by  their  works,  and  Mr.  Malone  accomplished 
wonders  for  the  number  that  he  bred,  Arab  2:15, 
Katie  G.,  Fanny  Malone  and  others  of  fame.

THE      COMING      DERBY. 


On  Past  Performances,  Cicero  Looks  a  Certain 
Winner. 


Death  of  Veronica. 


Mr.  C.  L.  Donohoe  of  Santa  Barbara,  writes  us  that 
he  has  had  the  misfortune  of  losing  by  death  the 
broodmare  Veronica  by  Alcona  730,  dam  the  great 
broodmare  Fontana,  dam  of  Silas  Skinner  2:17,  Flora 
Belle  2:25,  etc.  Veronica's  son  The  Scout  by  Almonada 
that  is  now  being  trained  by  Walter  Maben  stepped  a 
mile  last  year  after  six  months  training,  in  2:14J.  Mr. 
Maben  says  he  can  drive  The  Scout  in  2:10  this  year 
barring  accidents.  Mr.  Donohoe  owns  a  two-year  old 
filly  out  of  Veronica  that  Is  by  Iran  Alto  and  can  show 
minute  clip  on  the  road  hitched  to  a  road  cart, 
although  he  has  never  been  trained. 


Los  Angeles,  May  23,  1905. 

I  put  in  an  hour  last  night,  to  see  if  I  could  figure 
the  unbeaten  French  colt  Jardy  as  a  winner  over  the 
likewise  unbeaten  Engltehcolt  Cicero;  and  after  care- 
ful perusal  of  all  the  two-year-old  performances  of  the 
ten  most  prominent  eligibles  to  the  great  race  on 
Epsom  Downs  on  the  31st,  I  must  place  the  three 
firBt  as  follows: 

Cicero  by  Cyllene  out  of  Gas 1 

Jardy  by  Flying  Fox-Airs  and  Graces 2 

Vedas  by  Florizel  II  (bro.  to  Persimmon)  . .  .3 

Cicero  takes  the  lead  of  all  last  year's  two-year-olds 
for  four  reasons.  First,  he  won  six  straight  races 
without  a  single  defeat;  second,  the  races  he  won  were 
the  oldest  established  and  btst-known  events;  third, 
he  won  nearly  double  what  any  other  contestant  won, 
in  money  values;  and  lastly,  he  beat  more  horses  than 
any  other  colt  of  his  age.  The  Middle  Part  Plate  did 
not  come  on  till  Cicero's  trainer  deemed  him  just  a 
trifle  stale  and  had  decided  to  give  him  a  rest. 

Jardy  therefore  won  the  Middle  Park  Plate  and,  by 
disposing  very  easily  of  his  horses  at  the  finish,  got  a 
much  greater  reputation  for  having  done  so  than 
would  have  been  the  case  had  the  race  been  run 
earlier  in  the  Eeason.  Most  of  the  English  colts  had 
started  from  five  to  seven  times  prior  to  the  Middle 
Park  day,  so  it  is  quite  likely  that  Jardy  picked  up  a 
stale  and  jaded  lot.  He  had  previously  won  all  three 
of  his  starts  in  France,  so  this  was  his  fourth  engage- 
ment. A  review  of  the  history  of  the  Middle  Park 
Plate  shows  but  three  of  its  winners  that  won  the 
Derby  in  the  year  that  followed.  Jardy  has  beaten 
everything  that  he  met,  to  be  sure,  but  it  must  be 
remembered  that  he  has  not  yet  met  Cicero. 

Vedas  is  a  good-looking  son  of  Florizel  (brother  to 
Diamond  Jubilee  and  Persimmon)  and  his  sire  has 
already  gotten  a  Derby  winner  in  Volodyovski  and  a 
St.  Leger  winner  in  Doricles  with  Volodyovski  second 
to  him  in  that  race.  Vedas  started  in  ten  races,  win- 
ning six,  second  in  one  and  third  in  one,  which  is  a3 
good  a  showing  as  most  colts  make.  This  year  he 
has  won  the  Two  Thousand  Guineas  which  is  run  on 
the  "Rowley  Mile,"  a  course  1771  yards  long  or  eleven 
yards  over  an  exact  mile,  if  you  prefer  to  put  it  in 
that  way.  The  second  horse  was  Signorino  by  Best 
Man  out  of  Sig.  Ginistrelli's  flying  mare  that  won  the 
first  Manchester  November  Handicap  in  1890;  and  the 
third  horse  was  Llangibby,  who  won  three  races  out 
of  seven  last  year. 

Since  then  Cicero,  who  was  not  nominated  in  the 
Two  Thousand,  has  won  the  Newmarket  Stakes  at 
one  and  a  quarter  miles,  with  Llangibby  second  and 
Signorino  third,  showing  the  colt  with  the  Welsh 
name  to  be  the  better  over  a  distance  of  ground  than 
the  Italian  chevalier's  colt.  Vedas  was  not  nominated 
in  the  Newmarket  Stakes,  nor  was  Jardy,  but  the 
latter  was  nominated  in  the  Two  Thousand  and  paid 
forfeit  as  none  of  Mons.  Blanc's  horses  were  ready  for 
so  early  a  race.  In  the  stable  with  Jardy  is  another 
unbeaten  French  colt  called  Adam,  a  full  brother  to 
Ajax  who  won  the  Grand  Prix  of  last  year  and  placed 
Flying  Fox  at  the  head  of  the  winning  sires'  list  at 
eight  years,  for  the  first  time  in  the  world's  history. 

No  French  colt  has  won  the  Epsom  Derby  alncel865 
when  the  lanky  Gladiateur  bowled  over  a  good-sized 
field,  with  Christmas  Carol  second  and  Eltham  third. 
He  had  previously  won  the  Two  Thousand  but  not  in 
any  impressive  manner  but  in  the  Derby  he  was 
pocketed  four  times  and  yet  managed  to  get  out  and 
win  by  four  leagths.  "When  Gladiateur  gallops,  the 
rest  stand  still, "  said  a  London  paper  of  the  day  follow- 
ing the  latter  race.  Two  weeks  later  he  was  a  victor 
on  his  own  soil,  in  the  Grand  Prix,  and  in  September 
he  carried  off  the  Doncaster  St.  Leger  for  which  he 
was  an  odds  on  favorite. 

The  classic  races  of  England  have  been  won  by 
French  horses  as  follows:  The  Derby  by  Gladiateur 
only;  the  Two  Thousand  by  Gladiator  and  Chamant; 
the  Oaks  by  Fille  de  l'Air,  Euguenaude,  Reine  and 
LimaBol;  and  the  St.  Leger  by  Gladiateur  and  Rayon 
d'Or,  the  latter  being  imported  into  America  by  the 
late  W.  L.  Scott.  The  Oaks  winner  Limasol,  was  a 
full  sister  to  imported  Maori,  the  dam  of  Berry  Bel- 
mont's great  horse  Etbelbert  who  should  never  have 
lost  a  race,  in  my  opinion,  at  any  distance  above  on* 
mile,  Fille  de  l'Air  was  the  dam  of  Reine,  who  also 
won  the  One  Thousand  Guineas.  Hidalgo. 


Found  to  Have  no  Equal. 

Mr.  E.  T.  Baiter  of  Eddyville,  Neb.  writes:  "Enclosed  find  one 
dollar  for  whloh  send  one  bottle  of  Quinn's  Ointment.  I  have 
removed  two  bog  spavins  with  this  ointment  and  also  has  no  equal 
for  removing  wire  cuts.  Please  send  at  once  as  I  need  it  badly." 
This  Is  the  general  expression  of  leading  horsemen  all  over  the 
country.  For  curbs,  splints,  spavins,  wlndpufls  and  all  bunches 
try  Quinn's  Ointment.  Price  one  dollar  per  bottle.  Address  W. 
B.  Eddy  &  Co.,  Whitehall,  N.  Y.,  if  you  oannot  obtain  from  drug- 
gist.

Some  Horse  Talk. 


After  a  long  period  of  depression,  during  which  no 
horses  were  bred,  the  scarcity  of  good  horses  of 
almost  all  classes  is  at  last  being  admitted,  and  prices 
are  rapidly  advancing,  writes  Col.  Henry  Exall, 
Dallas,  Texas.  After  the  panic  of  1873  trotting  horses 
could  hardly  be  given  away.  In  1S76  the  yearling9  of 
Alexander's  great  farm  in  Kentucky  brought  only  an 
average  of  $112.50.  Twelve  years  later,  when  people 
realized  that  no  breeding  had  been  done,  and  that 
good  horses  were  extremely  scarce,  and  that  the 
demand  was  great,  the  same  character  of  yearlings 
from  the  same  studs  and  mares  sold  for  an  average  of 
$3950.  The  J.  C.  Linneman  stock,  comprising  every- 
thing he  owned,  was  sold  in  Lexington  in  February, 
1892,  for  an  average  of  $4475.  The  culmination  of 
these  highest  prices  in  1891  to  1892  came  when  Axtell, 
the  three-year-old  stallion,  was  sold  for  $105,000,  and 
Arion,  the  peerless  son  of  the  great  Electioneer,  wa9 
sold  as  a  two-year-old  for  $125,000.  Then  came  the 
panic  of  1893.  Horses  were  forced  on  the  market, 
breeding  ceased,  prices  ran  low,  the  market  was  so 
glutted.  Stock  farms  in  every  direction  closed  out 
and  forced  their  horses  upon  an  unwilling  market 
until  in  many  instances  they  did  not  bring  their 
freight  and  expenses  of  sale.  So  demoralized  was  the 
business  from  1895  to  1900,  that  breeding  was  almost 
totally  abandoned  all  over  the  Union.  It  was  im- 
possible to  make  anyone  believe  that  horses  were 
scarce,  because  everything  was  being  forced  on  the 
market.  All  the  goods  were  in  the  show  windows. 
There  was  nothing  on  the  breeding  ranches  behind, 
preparing  to  meet  the  demand  that  must  surely  come. 
In  no  period  ef  this  mighty  nation  has  its  growth 
been  so  great  in  commercial  expansion,  in  wealth  and 
in  population  as  within  the  past  fifteen  years.  Almost 
the  only  thing  that  has  been  neglected  and  allowed 
to  dwarf  has  been  the  horse  industry.  We  have 
more  race  tracks,  more  speedways  by  hundreds,  a 
thousand  rich  men  now  to  where  we  had  one  then 
and  nobody  preparing  to  meet  the  demand  that  must 
come  by  breeding  the  horse.  We  have  two  millions 
fewer  horses  now  than  we  had  in  1890,  with  one  million 
more  in  use.  The  shortage  is  on  the  ranches  and 
breeding  farms. 

The  expected  demand  has  come.  The  sale  of  the 
entire  Forbes  stock  at  auction  on  the  23d  of  last  May 
marked  the  turning  point,  At  this  sale  seventy-six 
head,  ranging  from  weanlings  to  eighteen-year-olds, 
brought  $116,450.  Among  the  number  was  the  fast 
stallion,  Bingen,  a  grandson  of  the  mighty  Electioneer, 
who  brought  the  princely  sum'of  $32,000.  The  average 
price  for  weanlings,  yearlings  and  all,  including  the 
aged  broodmares,  was  $1532  per  head.  It  was  then 
said  by  many  that  we  would  not  see  another  such  sales 
in  many  years  to  come,  yet  in  New  York  during  the 
next  month  the  great  racing  stallion,  Hamburg,  was 
sold  at  public  outcry  for  $71,000.  At  same  time  Im- 
ported Meddler  sold  for  $51,000,  and  a  thirteen-year 
old  broodmare  brought  $23,000.  Recently  the  seven- 
teen-year-old trotting  stallion,  McKinney,  sold  for$50,» 
000  and  was  rated  as  a  bargain  at  even  that  figure.  Ten 
thousand  dollars  was  recently  paid  for  a  two-year-old 
trotting  colt,  and  $20,000  was  refused  for  a  three- 
year-old  filly.  Ten  thousand  was  paid  last  year  for  a 
Texas-raised  four-year-old,  and  $15,000  was  refused 
for  a  six-year-old.  These  prices  are,  of  course,  for 
fast  horses,  but  there  is  an  almost  unlimited  market  for 
good  drivers  at  prices  ranging  from  $350  to  $1000,  and 
for  good  pairs  at  prices  ranging  from  $500  to 
$5000  if  you  can  only  produce  the  type  of  horses  the 
buyers  want.  That  this  condition  of  affairs  is  attract- 
ing wide  attention,  that  people  everywhere  are  awak- 
ening to  the  present  status  of  the  horse-breeding 
industry  is  indicated  by  an  editorial  appearing  in  the 
New  York  Herald  of  October  24d,  under  the  caption 
of  "On  Track  and  Turf."  Among  other  things  the 
writer  says:  "It  is,  indeed,  the  golden  era  of  the 
horse.  *  *  *  The  prices  easily  commanded  by  the 
best  of  them  remain  as  high  or  even  higher  than  ever. 
The  most  recent  sales  of  racing  and  harness  horses 
readily  prove  this  to  be  a  fact.  A  most  agreeable  and 
significant  incident.,  too,  of  the  purchase  was  the 
class  of  men  who  were  the  buyers.  It  showed  that 
racing  interests  are  daily  passing  into  stronger  and 
better  hands;  that  weathy  amateurs  are  coming  to  the 
front  and  assuming  personal  part  in  active  racing  life 
as  was  the  case  in  our  grandfather's  days,  when  it  was 
called,  and  was  indeed,  the  sport  of  gentlemen  and 
kings.  This  last  mentioned  view  of  the  situation  is 
emphasized  by  the  increasing  number  of  so-called 
matinee  races,  where  the  fastest  trotters  of  the  world 
are  driven  by  amateur  owners, and  the  hunt-club  meet- 
ings where  gentlemen  drivers  take  part  in  flat  and 
steeple-chase  races  to  the  delight  of  assembled  multi- 
tudes. It  is  no  wonder  that  lovers  of  the  horse  are 
enthusiastically  shaking  hands  with  each  other  over 
the  result  of  the  summer's  sport,  recalling  the  pleas- 
ure they  have  had  at  the  races  and   looking  forward 


to  even  greater  things   when   the  season  of  1905  is 
ushered  in." 

With  a  reawakening  interest  in  the  horse  and  his 
noble  qualities,  with  wealthy  men  all  over  the  Union 
searching  the  markets  for  horses  to  drive  or  to  race 
for  pleasure  or  profit,  with  an  admitted  scarcity  to 
meet  this  increased  demand,  it  cannot  be  doubted  the 
prices  paid  for  good  horses  during  the  next  five  or  six 
years  will  be  as  high  as  ever  before,  if,  indeed,  not 
very  much  higher  Obviously,  now  is  the  time  of  all 
times  for  all  owners  of  good  mares  to  begin  to  breed 
them  and  to  raise  good  horses.  This  is  a  great  op- 
portunity for  Texas  breeders.  There  is  no  country  in 
the  world  in  which  to  raise  good  horses  than  Texas. 
We  have  the  climate,  and  can  raise  feed  cheaply.  To 
the  prospective  horse  breeder  I  would  say  that  there 
are  maoy  pitfalls  to  be  avoided.  Great  care  should  be 
taken  in  the  selection  of  broodmares.  Breed  the  best 
mares  you  have.  There  is  no  mare  that  is  too  good 
to  breed,  and  it  is  only  by  breeding  the  best  mares  to 
the  best  stallions  that  you  can  expect  to  get  the  best 
colts — the  kind  that  brings  top  prices  in  the  markets 
and  are  a  pleasure  and  a  profit  to  both  breeder  and 
buyer.  Be  very  critical  in  your  selection  of  a  stallion. 
It  is  very  poor  economy  to  save  a  few  dollars  by 
breeding  to  an  inferior  or  unknown  stallion.  When 
the  colt  is  grown,  the  difference  between  the  well  bred 
colt  by  a  great  stallion  and  the  poorly  bred  colt  from 
thecheap  and  unknown  stallion  is  simply  thedifference 
in  the  stallion  fees,  and  as  a  rule  the  well  bred  colt 
will  bring  in  the  open  market  two  or  three  times  as 
much  as  the  colt  equally  well  raised  but  from  an  in- 
ferior and  unknown  stallion.  Therefore,  in  the  choice 
of  both  mares  and  stallions,  force  the  survival  of  the 
fittest  by  the  most  rigid  selection.  In  this  way  in- 
finitely better  to  have  a  few  well  bred  mares  than  a 
larger  number  of  second  class  mares.  I  would  rather 
pay  a  thousand  dollars  for  a  young  broodmare,  if  in 
breeding  and  conformation  she  warranted  the  price, 
than  to  pay  a  hundred  dollars  each  for  ten  not  nearly 
as  good.  The  progeny  of  the  one  high  class  mare  by 
a  high  class  stallion  would  be  worth  from  $500  to  $1000 
as  a  yearling.  The  progeny  of  the  ten  mares  as 
yearlings  would  not  bring  me  any  more  money,  if 
indeed,  as  much,  and  I  would  have  to  sell  ten  colts  to 
get  my  money.  With  the  $1000  invested  in  the  high 
bred  mare  there  would  be  but  one  stallion  fee  to  pay, 
one  colt  to  raise  and  but  one  customer  to  find  for  the 
high  bred  foal,  and  when  it  became  generally  known 
that  you  were  raising  only  the  best  rich  customers," 
who  are  ever  ready  and  willing  to  pay  the  price,  would 
seek  you  out,  and  you  would  have  a  good  market  at 
home.  On  the  other  hand,  with  the  ten  mares,  your 
feed  bill  would  be  ten  times  as  large,  your  stallion  fees 
in  proportion,  and  your  stock,  instead  of  being  dis- 
tinctive and  greater  than  the  common  herd,  would 
have  to  be  sold  in  competition  with  everything  that 
pulls,  and  as  there  is  an  ever-increasing  demand  for 
the  best  of  everything — why  try  to  produce  some- 
thing else?  The  fastest  race  horse  or  the  sleekiest, 
toppiest  driver  eats  no  more  than  the  coarse  and 
shaggy  dray  horse. 

But  even  after  you  have  bred  in  the  right  blood 
lines  the  mares  and  colts  must  be  properly  fed  and 
cared  for.  Do  not  try  to  Bee  how  little  the  mares  and 
colts  can  live  upon,  but  see  how  much  you  can  get 
them  to  consume  and  digest.  Let  them  have  air  and 
exercise  in  plenty,  and  then  tempt  them  with  a  change 
of  ration  so  that  they  will  eat  abundantly  and  grow 
rapidly.  You  cannot  afford  to  be  stingy  with  the 
little  colts.  Teach  them  to  eat  grain  at  as  early  an 
age  as  possible.  On  the  Lomo  Alto  farm  we  make  a 
pen  in  the  pasture — say  twenty-five  feet  square — with 
wide  low  troughs  in  the  center,  and  we  so  adjust  the 
height  of  the  outside  railing  that  the  colts  can  go  in 
and  eat  at  will,  but  the  mother  cannot  follow.  We 
keep  ground  oats  and  bran  in  the  troughs  at  all  times, 
so  that  the  little  fellows  will  noo  be  disappointed  when 
they  want  a  lunch.  The  grain  ration  in  connection 
with  the  mother's  milk  is  a  most  excellent  combina- 
tion. In  fact,  it  is  difficult  to  get  good  results  with 
young  colts  unless  they  are  fed  separately  from  their 
mothers.  I  will  give  an  illustration  that  I  think  will 
be  readily  recognized  by  any  man  that  has  raised  any 
kind  of  stock.  When  a  colt  is  foaled  it  will  probably 
weigh  from  a  hundred  to  a  hundred  and  twenty 
pounds.  Its  mother  will  then  give  as  much  milk  as 
she  will  ever  give.  The  colt  grows  very  rapidly.  He 
is  fat,  sleek,  glossy  and  beautiful,  gaining  probably 
two  and  a  half  pounds  per  day.  When  it  is  two 
months  old  and  weighs,  say,  250  pounds,  it  has  twice 
the  live  weight  to  sustain  that  it  had  at  birth,  and 
having  only  the  same  amount,  of  milk  to  sustain  it 
that  it  had  when  it  weighed  only  120  pounds,  it  almost 
ceases  to  grow;  it  loses  its  sleek  and  glossy  appear- 
ance, and  if  you  fail  to  supplement  the  milk  with  a 
grain  ration  before  this  period  you  cause  a  stoppage 
of  the  growth  that  is  almost  impossible  to  overcome 
later.  I  have  not  always  been  in  a  position  to  do  as  I 
wished  in  this  respect,  but  the  Lomo  Alto  yearlings, 


foals  in  1903,  fed  in  this  way  are  15  hands  high,  and 
the  foals  of  1904,  weanlings,  are  from  13  to  14  hands 
high.  I  am  certain  that  I  never  made  an  investment 
in  feeding  stock  that  paid  me  so  well  for  the  amount 
invested  as  the  grain  that  I  fed  to  my  weanlings 
which  some  of  my  neighbors  thought  I  was  throwing 
away. 

And  finally,  when  the  high-bred  foal  reaches  the 
age  it  must  begin  its  schooling  and  must  learn  to  do 
and  do  well  and  unquestioningly  what  he  is  wanted  to 
do,  teach  him  with  kindneBS.  Nothing  in  the  world 
shows  the  effect  of  good  or  bad  handling  so  much  as 
a  horse,  and  it  is  when  the  horse  is  young  and  being 
broken  and  educated  that  it  takes  its  first  impressions 
and  first  impressions  with  horses,  just  as  with 
children,  are  always  strongest.  The  colt  should 
never  have  any  idea  but  that  man  is  his  best  friend. 
The  best  merchant  secures  and  always  keeps  in  stock 
the  goods  his  customers  want.  You  may  not  care  for 
a  diamond  stud,  but  you  would  be  foolish  not  to  dig 
diamonds  if  you  could  profitably  do  so  and  sell  them 
to  the  people  who  do  want  them.  The  wealthy  people 
of  every  town  in  the  Union  want  the  handsomest,  the 
soundest  and  the  fastest  horses  that  can  be  produced, 
and  in  competition  with  each  other  will  pay  almost 
any  price  for  the  best.  We  have  clearly  demonstrated 
on  the  speedway  of  New  York  and  on  the  turf  from 
Empire  City  to  Lexington  that  Texas  can  produce  as 
good  horses  as  live.  The  markets  are  open,  the 
buyers  are  eager.  Will  the  breeders  of  Texas  take 
advantage  of  the  unusual  opportunity  of  a  known 
and  admitted  scarcity  and  an  almost  unlimited  de- 
mand, and  begin  now  to  breed  the  right  kind  in  the 
right  way  and  thus  reap  the  rich  harvest  that  un- 
questionably awaits  them? — Exchange.

Angling  Outlook  Excellent. 

Trout  fisherman  find  best  results  on  the  upper 
tributaries  of  most  streams.  Reports  from  Sonoma, 
Mendocino  and  Humboldt  counties  are  flattering. 
ilv-Bshing  is  uot  yet  at  its  best,  the  streams 
being  generally  high,  the  inducements  for  a  try  with 
black  gnat,  March  brown  and  royal  coachman  are 
not  to  be  ignored.  Spoon  fishing  has  been  good  on 
mo-t  nearby  waters.  With  the  early  promise  of 
settled  weather,  a  lowering  and  clearing  of  the  creeks, 
the  sport  promises  to  be  excellent. 

Str  ped  bass  anglers  are  getting  a  few  fish  in  various 
waters,  the  pastime  is  not  lively  by  any  means.  The 
fish  are  reported  to  be  in  the  far  up  sloughs  and 
creeks  where  they  are  believed  to  bespawning.  Sacra- 
mento anglers  have  taken  plenty  of  striped  bass  from 
tbe  river  in  the  vicinity  of  Clarksburg. 

Salmon  are  now  running  in  Monterey  bay  and  great 
sport  has  been  the  luck  of  recent  fishing  parties. 
Yellowtail  are  also  fairly  plentiful.  Skipjacks  are 
being  taken  by  the  trolling  boats  off  Monterey  and 
Santa  Cruz. 

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


An  enthusiastic  assemblage  of  clay  bird  smashers 
gathered  at  Ingleside  May  21, 1905,  at  the  third  regular 
shoot  of  the  Union  Gun  Club.  The  membership  of 
this  club  is  a  representative  one,  containing  many 
ardent  devotees  of  trap  shooting,  and  making  for  the 
betterment  all  along  the  line  of  this  most  fascinating 
sport.  There  were  in  attendance  48  contestants,  shoot- 
ing In  various  classes.  The  classification  of  shooters, 
which  is  becoming  general,  owing  to  its  equity  and 
fairnesB,  Is  doing  much  to  strengthen  and  popularize 
blue  rock  shooting.  Like  every  law  made  for  the 
good  of  the1  greatest  number,  some  few  individuals 
necessarily  suffer.  When  one  considers,  however,  that 
the  general  shooting  fraternity  is  the  gainer,  this 
classification  would  seem  to  be  the  solution  for  the 
permanence  and  life  of  this  sport.

The  Pastime  Gun  Club  three-day  blue  rock  tourna- 
ment on  the  Mission  Cliff  club  grounds  near  San  Diego 
was  one  of  the  best  shoots  ever  pulled  off  by  the  club. 
The  committee  of  arrangements  C.  H.  Julian,  M. 
Chick  and  F.  B.  Naylor,  received  many  congratula- 
tions on  account  of  the  success  of  the  shoot  from  start 
to  finish. 

Duaing  the  three  days  about  25,000  targets  were 
used.  Weather  conditions  were  favorable  as  a  rule, 
save  on  the  second  day  when  a  strong  wind  prevailed. 
The  average  of  scores  was  good  throughout  the  shoot. 
High  average  was  shot  by  J.  E.  Vaughan,  Fred  B. 
Mills,  both  of  Santa  Ana,  being  second.  W.  H.  Varien

A    GOOD    ONE    GONE. 

Mr.  F.  Schmidt  had  the  misfortune  to  lose  his  good 
Bloodhound  bitch  Peggy  this  week.  She  was  Beveral 
days  overdue  to  whelp  and  died  through  complica- 
tions arising  therefrom.  Peggy  has  been  an  excellent 
brood  bitch  and  left  a  numerous  progeny  that  has 
proven  remarkably  clever  working  dogs.  Sportsmen 
in  the  vicinity  of  Haywards,  in  Mendocino  county, 
in  Humboldt  county,  in  Nevada,  and  even  in  far  away 
Guatamala  have,  and  are  using,  Peggy's  sons  and 
daughters  and  claim  that  they  are  a  strain  that  can 
not  be  beaten  on  the  trail. 


THE     DOG    WAS     LOADED. 

A  story  from  Lusted,  near  Portland,  Or.,  relates 
how  an  attempt  to  destroy  a  dog  came  near  ending 
disastrously  for  Farmer  H.  E.  Hamilton  and  his  wife 
recently. 

The  members  of  the  Hamilton  family  were  absent 
from  home  one  day  and  when  they  returned  in  the 
evening  found  that  the  dog,  which  they  had  left  in 
charge  of  the  place,  had  broken  into  the  chicken  yard 
of  the  farm  and  killed  a  number  of  chickens,  besides 
smashing  half  a  case  of  eggs  that  had  been  saved  up 
for  market. 

Farmer  Hamilton  got  wrathy  and  decided  that  the 
dog  must  die.  The  following  morning  he  proceeded 
to  carry  out  the  execution.  He  had  been  using  giant 
powder  to  blast  stumps,  and  taking  a  stick  of  the 
explosive,  affixed  a  detonator  and  fuse  and  tied  the 
combination  to  the  dog'i  collar.  He  attached  a  stout 
rope  to  the  animal's  neck  and  leading  him  a  few 
yards  from  the  house  secured  the  condemned  dog  to  a 
tree.    Then  he  lighted  the  fuse  and  ran. 

A  moment's  struggle  and  the  dog  had  slipped  the 
rope  over  his  head  and  was  at  Hamilton's  heels,  frisk- 
ing gaily  at  his  freedom,  and  unaware  of  impending 
danger.  The  farmer  tried  to  catch  him  to  pull  out 
the  fuse,  but  the  dog  tantalizingly  kept  just  out  of 
reach.  The  farmer  dashed  for  the  house,  the  animal 
cloBe  behind.  Hamilton  stopped  to  throw  stick  of 
stove  wood  at  him,  but  without  effect.  His  wife  came 
out  and  comprehending  the  situation  saved   the  day. 

"Go  get  the  cows,  Bob,"  she  called  to  the  dog,  and 
old  Bob,  faithful  to  duty,  turned  about  and  started 
for  the  pasture. 

He  had  trotted  scarcely  fifty  feet  when  the  explosion 
came.  The  farmer  and  his  wife  were  almost  lifted 
from  their  feet  and  bits  of  dog  and  hair  filled  the  air. 

There  was  not  enough  of  Bob  left  to  make  a  funeral 
diversion  for  the  children. 


San  Francisco  Fly-Casting  Club. 

Last  Saturday  and  Sunday,  those  of  the  club  mem- 
bers who  were  behind  in  their  scores  were  at  the  lake- 
side making  up  for  lost  time.  The  weather  being 
ideal  for  fly-fishing  on  many  favorite  streams,  it  will 
be  readily  understood  that  the  devotion  of  numerous 
members  to  the  club  affairs  was  a  most  commendable 
sacrifice  in  the  line  of  duty  as  against  the  allurements 
of  angling  pleasures.

Fred  Carter,  who  participated  during  the  tourna- 
ment at  San  Diego  but  who  is  really  more  of  an  expert 
with  a  rifle  than  he  is  with  a  shotgun,  during  the 
afternoon  of  each  day  gave  an  exhibition  of  his  ability 
in  that  line,  and  those  who  were  present  had  an  oppor- 
tunity of  seeing  some  remarkable  shooting.  One  of 
the  many  feats  was  the  hitting  and  discharging  of  car- 
tridges thrown  in  the  air  for  him  to  shoot  at.  Pennies 
and  marbles  were  also  hit  on  the  fly  by  Mr.  Carter's 
bullets.  

The  sport  of  pigeon  shooting  appears  to  be  doomed 
in  England.  At  its  annual  meeting  on  Saturday,  May 
20th,  the  Hurlingham  club,  which,  although  mainly 
concerned  with  polo,  was  originally  started  as  a  pig- 
eon shooting  club,  by  an  overwhelming  majority  car- 
ried a  resolution  proposed  by  the  president,  Earl 
AHcester,  to  henceforth  abolish  pigeon  shooting  at 
the. club  meetings.  Many  titled  sportsmen  attended 
the  meeting. 

Parliament  attempted  to  deal  with  the  question  in 
1883,  but  the  House  of  Lords  vetoed  the  bill  adopted 
by  the  House  of  Commons  prohibiting  trap  shooting 
on  the  ground  of  its  brutality.  It  iB  expected  that 
now,  after  the  Hurlingham  club's  decision,  the  House 
of  Lords  will  no  longer  oppose  such  a  bill.

Los  Angeles  Dog  Show. 


TBy  G.  L.  Waring.] 

TheBecond  show  concluded  by  the  Southwestern 
Kennel  Club— this  year  under  American  Kennel  Club 
Rules — was  quite  a  success,  financial  and  otherwise. 
The  arrangements  were  better  in  every  way  than  was 
the  case  last  year;  there  was  more  room  and  a  better 
judging  ring.  The  Chutes'  Park  is  an  ideal  place  for 
a  dog  show,  as  there  was  lots  of  room  outside  the  tent 
provided  for  the  dogs,  and  it  is  a  nice  place  to  lounge 
around  in  when  one  is  tired  of  listening  to  the  ever- 
listing  merits,  as  propounded  by  owners,  of  the  dogs. 

A  continual  dialogue  of  stop,  wrinkle,  coat,  legs  and 
feet,  size,  etc.,  etc.,  is  liable  to  pall  on  even  the  loving- 
sst  of  "dog -lovers, "  and  when  a  man  tells  you  that  his 
terrier  is  as  straight  as  a  "harrow"  in  front  (he 
might  have  mentioned  also  that  his  teeth  were  as 
sharp)  it  is  time  to  make  for  the  open,  and  get  a  little 
fresh  air. 

The  best  classes  were  Bull  Terriers,  Fox  Terriers, 
Pointers  and  Irish  Setters. 

The  Collie  classes  were  very  well  filled  but  were  not 
remarkably  filled.  There  was  a  marked  absence  of 
coat  all  through,  and  ears  generally  were  bad.  I 
doubt  if  the  Collie  will  ever  be  very  good  in  Southern 
California  because  the  climate  is  too  warm  for  the 
development  of  a  good  coat.  It  seems  rather  absurd 
to  have  to  inform  a  Collie  shower,  that  this  dog  should 
have  a  double  coat,  part  of  it  hard  and  part  of  it  soft, 
but  from  conversations  I  held  with  some  owners,  it 
seems  necessary  that  they  ought  to  know  this.  There 
were  about  three  good  coated  dogs — that  is  as  they 
appeared  during  the  show,  at  other  times  they  might 
be  different.  They  were  Sir  Wallace,  Scotch  Laddie, 
perhaps  Wishaw  Leader  Jr.,  and  Old  Hall  Silvia, 
though  the  latter  could  be  improved  with  care.  Many 
of  the  others  had  abundant  enough  coats  but  they 
were  soft,  and  of  the  Pomeranian  order. 

In  puppy  dogs  (sable  and  white)  the  contest  was 
between  Wishaw  Leader  Junior  and  Edgemont  Springs 
Pinnacle.  The  former  is  better  let  down  than  the 
latter  and  more  developed  all  over  but  he  throws  his 
ears  badly  at  present.  If  they  could  be  got  up  he 
would  grow  into  a  nice  dog.  Pinnacle  won.  He  ap- 
peared light  and  carried  his  ears  rather  high,  they 
stood  up  at  times.    Navarre — third — is  light. 

In  novice  dogs  Sir  Wallace  won — to  my  mind — 
easily.  He  is  a  good  dog  with  nice  ears,  fine  expres- 
sion, carries  his  head,  which  is  a  pleasing  one,  well 
up,  has  plenty  of  length  and  liberty,  and  a  good  coat. 
Ravenswood  was  Becond.  I  never  did  like  him, 
though  he  is  a  dog  with  a  beautiful  disposition.  He 
had  more  coat  than  when  I  saw  him  last.  He  is 
undersized  and  short  all  over  except  In  the  head, 
which  is  as  long  as  anyone  could  desire,  but  rather 
lacking  in  under  jaw.  His  neck,  body  and  tail  are 
all  short.  I  preferred  his  son,  Sir  McKenzie.  This  dog 
has  more  length  and  liberty  than  his  sire;  his  neck  is 
allrightand  beshowswell.  Hisears  are  almost  pricked, 
(but  this  can  be  remedied  if  wafers  are  attached  to 
them)  and  his  coat  looked  as  if  constant  combing  had 
destroyed  it.  He  also  had  lots  of  bone  and  will  be 
heard  from  again. 


VernTottie  went  through  the  bitch  classes  where 
exhibited.  She  is  young  and  consequently  still  un- 
furnished. She  struck  me  as  light,  but,  no  doubt, 
will  improve  with  age  in  this  respect.  I  don't  like 
her  eyes.  They  are  sunken,  and  she  ha9  the  expres- 
sion of  an  imbecile. 

Old  Hall  Silvia  is  a  good  bitch  and  properly  shown 
can  be  got  to  look  better  than  she  did.  She  is  a  good 
bodied  bitoh,  haB  a  fine  head  and  a  good  coat.  Her 
off  ear  sometimes  sticks  straight  up.  Her  puppies 
that  were  shown,  on  the  contrary,  all  hang  their'a 
sideways,  though  their  heads  are  all  of  the  finest 
kind.  Truly,  a  Collie  has  a  hard  position  to  fill  with 
reference   to  its  ears.    They  have  to  be  where  the 

Duke  of  York's  ten  thousand  men  landed  eventually 

"half  way  up"  and  "neither  up  nor  down."  Scotch 
Laddie— the  dog  with  the  good  coat — is  a  nice  bodied 
dog  and  fine  shower,  but  is  thick  in  the  skull  and 
carries  his  ears  badly. 

Bulldogs  were  fair.  The  winner  dog,  Bill  SykeB,  is 
a  good  honest  dog  with  plenty  of  substance,  a  very 
fair  wide  deep  head  and  generally  well  turned  all 
over.  The  second,  Paul  Mainer,  waB  a  dog  of  the 
same  Btamp  and  not  far  behind  him.  True  Blue  won 
in  bitches.  She  is  a  fair  solid  bitch  and  appeared 
quite  active  for  her  size.  She  is  a  good  stamp  for  a 
brood  bitch.  Some  thought  her  rather  pinched  be- 
low the  eyes  but  I  could  not  see  it.  The  second, 
Wedding  Bells,  had  a  taking  head  but  was  lacking  in 
the  bread  basket  and  generally  short. 
Two  French  Bulldogs  of  no  account  were  shown. 
E.  E.  Angst's  Prince  Royal  had  it  all  his  own  way 
in  St.  Bernards.  He  is  too  low,  is  a  bad  color  and  his 
eyes  are  somewhat  sunken;  but  he  is  a  fine  bodied 
dog,  with  enormous  bone,  straight  legs,  no  slackness 
any  where,  coat  of  good  quality  though  bad  in  color, 
ears  all  right,  acceptable  deep  head.  The  third  dog, 
Prince  Yen,  is  Bomewhat  of  the  same  stamp— includ- 
ing the  bad  color,  but  is  rather  behind  all  over  and 
his  head  iB  not  quite  up  to  Prince  Royal's.  He  is  a 
bit  off  in  expression  and  carries  ears  a  trifle  high,  but 
is  a  9trong  bodied,  straight  legged  dog.  Rover,  sec- 
ond, has  a  nice  head,  with  true  St.  Bernard  expression, 
good  ears  and  a  proper  color.  He  is,  however,  lack- 
ing in  substance,  carries  his  tail  too  high  and  with  too 
much  curl.  The  winner  in  rough  novice  bitches, 
Queen  Regent  II,  is  a  very  nice  bitch  all  round,  with 
good  bone  and  substance.  Her  coat  was  in  bad  order 
and  should  be  attended  to.  Betsy  B.  is  just  fair. 
Beauty  doesn't  possess  much  of  it,  being  small  and 
wanting,  and  too  sharp  in  the  muzzle.  The  only 
smooth,  named  Don  CaeBar,  is  a  very  fair  kind  of  a 
dog,  a  little  pinched  in  muzzle  and  a  tail  too  curly. 

Only  one  Great  Dane  dog  was  shown.  This  was 
Shattuck  &  Desmond's  Duke,  a  harlequin.  He  seemed 
to  be  a  fine  upstanding  dog,  good  on  his  pins,  with  a 
nice  neck,  a  proper  crop,  good  head  and  outlook 
generally.  He  was  quite  the  fattest  dog  I  ever  saw  in 
the  ring,  he  reminded  me  of  a  gigantic  plum  duff. 
Isabellita,  the  only  other  Dane  (shown  in  puppy 
bitches),  even  allowing  for  her  youth,  is  light  and  is 
also  houndy  as  to  head.  A  Chesapeake  Bay  Dog — a 
novelty  in  these  parts — was  on  exhibition.  He  looks 
something  like  a  brown,  curly  coated  Retriever  with- 
out the  curl.  He  also  lackB  the  size  and  general  scope 
of  a  Retriever.  He  is  nevertheless  a  well  set  up,  good- 
showing  dog  and  appears  to  be  very  intelligent.  Two 
funny  little  things  were  shown  as  Foxhounds,  but  the 
prize  was  withheld. 

Mr.  William  J.  Morris  exhibited  some  very  good 
Pointers.  In  puppy  dogs,  his  Dictator  stood  up  well, 
had  a  fine  bead,  and  is  a  good  dog  all  round.  His  ears 
are  a  trifle  coarse.  There  was  little  between  the 
second  and  third,  Dexter  Ru9h  and  Plato  Kent.  The 
latter  is  much  deeper  in  the  chest  than  the  former,  and 
though  his  eyes  are  not  of  the  best,  and  the  top  of  his 
shoulders  are  somewhat  wide,  I  would  have  placed 
them  the  other  way.  Navajo  in  puppy  bitches  is  good, 
and  subsequently  was  the  runner  up  for  the  Examiner 
Challenge  Cup  for  the  best  dog  or  bitch  in  the  show 
bred  and  owned  by  a  member  of  the  Southwestern 
Kennel  Club.  Heroine  is  light.  In  novice  bitches 
Faith  won  easily.  She  is  a  real  good  bitch,  nice  body, 
legs,  feet,  tail,  a  particularly  classy  neck  and  carriage 
of  head,  a  well  chiselled  head  and  neat  stop.  She  went 
through  all  her  classes  without  difficulty. 

There  was  a  poor  show  of  English  Setters.  In 
novice  dogs,  Rufus  is  rather  lacking  in  quality,  but 
has  a  good  outline  and  looks  like  business.  Jack  is  a 
strong  dog,  too  thick  in  the  head  and  K.  E.  Preuss' 
Doctor  K. — the  winner — is  a  nioe  kind  of  a  dog  with 
quality,  but  a  little  on  the  light  side,  though  his 
feather  and  general  expression  is  all  right.  In  the 
puppy  bitohes  there  was  only  one  entry  and 
this  was  called  Beauty.  People  should  not  call  their 
dogs  "Beauty,"  it  leaves  snch  an  opening  for  invid- 
ious remarks.  This"Beauty"hada  very  bad  expression 
of  oountenance.  In  novice  bitches  there  were  only  two 
entries.  Ruby — with  a  bad  coat  won  from  Beauty. 
The  precious  stone  beat  the  Beauty,  but  in  limit 
bitches  the  jeweihad  to  table  a  back  seat  to  Dolly  Gray 
who— a  frequent  winner — represented  conscious  worth. 
In  Irish  SetterB  Mr.  Paul  Piepers.  the  Secretary  of 
the  show,  was  very  much  to  the  fore.  His  dog  Ch. 
Shandon  Ben  won  everything  befoie  him,  and  eventu- 
ally was  one  of  the  last  two  left  in  for  best  dog  in  the 
competition  for  show  cup. 

Only  two  ware  shown  in  Gordons.  Count  Jaro  Von 
Schmidt,  the  popular  President,  won  with  the  bitch 
Lady  Jennie  Jr.  (by  Tipperary  the  Great,  out  of  Lady 
Jennie).  She  is  a  good  bitch,  well  colored,  but  was 
lacking  in  feather.  She  had,  however,  nothing  to 
beat,  as  Sport  is  curly  and  coarse. 

Cockers  innumerable  appeared,  Cockers  black, 
Cockers  parti-colored,  Cockers  any  solid  color  otter 
than  black  and  some  whose  color  was  not  very  solid. 
Nothing  startling  appeared,  and  the  decisions  were 
well  received. 

The  Bull  Terriers  were  very  good.    The  puppy  dog 
class  showed  up  as  well — if  not  better,  than  any  other. 
Tedcote  Wonder  has  a  very  good  well  fllled-out  head, 
and  few  faults  can  be  found  with  him.  Hi*  tail  ie 
weak  and  a  little  too  long — which  can  be  rem 
taking  a  joint  or  two  off.    Barney   Oldfield

®,txe  gveeixstv  anb  gpovt&mcm 


[May  27,  1905 


is  a  levd-headed,  strong  dog.  In  novlpe  dogs  Tedcote 
Wonde.-  beat  Silkwood  Czar  in  head,  and,  perhaps, 
somewhat  in  quality.  The  Czar  is  an  older  dog  and 
conWedtivbetter  Curulshed.  He  is  a  fine  sturdy 
doc,  siiows  «ell,  and  I  like  him  very  much.  Pete,  in 
headed  and  was  outclassed.  In  the 
ng's  Brother  had  the  class  to  him- 
self' whi°n  I  •=* seen  ln  ihe  liae'  he  oroucl>ed 
An~n  ,  between  his  legs,  and  did  not  ex- 
..ahed  relationship,  or  his  illustrious 
deacei  by  Woodcote  Wonder.  Peer  Velt 
Wonder  won  easily  in  puppy  bitches.  She  is  a  litter 
sister  to  Tedcote  Wonder.  X  prefer  her  to  the  dog. 
She  might  not  be  so  classy  as  the  dog  as  to  head- 
though  there  isver\  littledifference— but  she  is  better 
in  boav  and  tail,  and  their  legs  and  general  showing 
ability  are  about  equal.  She  won  again  in  novice 
bliches.  Bessie  Bell,  second,  is  fair  but  rather  pinched 
in  muzzie.  Phoebe  is  snub-nosed  and  appeared  to  be 
undershot,  and  Judy  is  bow-legged.  Princess  of 
Trebizonde,  third  (not  cropped)  is  a  great  fighter; 
and  for  a  princess,  behaved  in  an  undignified  manner. 
She  went  for  everything  in  sight.  She  also  was  too  fat 
for  a  princess.  Fannie  Davenport,  the  winner  in  limit 
bitches  is  a  very  nice  all  round  bitch.  She  has  a  good 
head  and  body, stands  well.and  has  the  best— in  fact  tne 
only  proper— crop  in  the  show.  She  has  too  much  hair 
on  her  tail.  A  little  rosin  would  obviate  tnis.  Tne 
Princess,  still  struggling,  was  second  and  Gypsie 
Queen  third.  The  latter  has  a  remarkably  fine  car- 
riage, a  good  body,  legs  and  feet,  and  carries  her 
head  well  up  at  the  end  of  a  fine  neck.  Her  head  how- 
ever puts  her  out  of  Court,  as  it  is  thick,  too  short, 
and  too  profusely  marked  with  brindle. 

Bostons  (they  ought  to  be  called  Bostons  pure  and 
simple,  or  else  Boston  Bulldogs,  there  is  no  terrier 
much  about  them)  were  numerous.  Mr.  G.  H.  Herr  s 
puppy  bitch,  Miss  Pronto,  carried  all  before  her,  and 
was  left  in  with  the  last  sis  for  the  best  dog  in  the 
show  contest.  Rogue  III  was  the  best  shower  of  the 
bunch  and  got  some  specials,  besides  winning  in  limit 
and  open— where  he  did  not  meet  Miss  Pronto. 

The  fox  Terrier  classes  were  distinctively  good. 
The  "regulars"  took  the  prizes,  but  there  were  also 
some  good  local  dogs.  As  the  former  were  recently 
shown  at  San  Franoisco,  I  will  not  criticise  them 
especially,  except  tosay  that  Ruler  (showed  for  special 
prizes  only)  is  thin  and  in  poor  condition.  Victory, 
who  was  not  shown,  is  a  beautiful  bitch  with  a  good 
loin,  has  substance  and  quality  and  is  my  style.  She 
might  be  filled  out  a  trifle  better  below  the  eyes. 

The  wire  haired  bitch  Endcliffe  Precise  is  a  grand 
shower,  has  good  substance,  bone,  a  fine  long  neck,  a 
grand  head  and  ears  and  always  stands  right,  "asking 
for  the  money."  If  she  could  be  improved,  it  is  in  her 
pasterns.  She  won  the  cup  for  the  best  dog  in  the 
show,  the  next  to  her  being  the  red  Setter,  Shandon 
Ben.  In  all  classes  I  would  have  placed  them  about 
as  Mr.  Ashton  did.  In  smooth  puppy  dogs  Wandee 
Victor  had  most  quality,  but  at  present  is  somewhat 
shy.  Flash,  second,  has  also  quality  but  will  get  thick 
in  the  head. 

Sting  is  a  cockey  little  dog  and  is  all  there  in  the 
ring,  but  carries  his  tail  over  his  back,  and,  though 
having  a  good  terrier  expression  and  good  ears,  iB 
wanting  in  head.  Parker  is  a  very  taking  dog  with  a 
good  strong  punishing  head,  and  gamey.  He  has,  at 
some  time,  bad  one  of  his  legs  broken  and  he  is  on  the 
large  side.  The  latter  remark  also  applies  to  Kascimo 
Pony,  by  the  same  sire.  Wandee  Victor  won  in  novice 
dogs.  Vagabond,  second,  has  good  hair,  plenty  of 
quality,  stands  on  bis  toes  and  shows  well,  but  is  some- 
what light  all  through.  Kascimo  Checkers,  third  in 
this  class,  is  a  nice  dog  but  somewhat  coarse  and  his 
tail  has  been  docked  too  short.  Norfolk  Huntsman, 
a  good  game-looking  terrier,  rather  low  in  flesh, 
won  in  all  classes  where  he  did  not  meet  Sabine  Rey- 
nard. The  latter  is  rather  deeper  and  shorter  in  the 
back,  otherwise  there  is  not  much  to  choose  between 
them.  This  is  the  case  also  in  the  wire  haired  dogs, 
Selwonk  Topper  and  Humberstone  Mearns.  The 
latter  is  a  little  shorter  and  a  little  deeper  than  the 
other.  Sabine  Reverie  was  an  easy  winner  in  smooth 
bitches-  Wandee  Violet  looks  like  growing  into  a 
very  good  one.  Warren  Driver,  who  was  third  to 
Reynard  and  Huntsman,  in  the  smooth  open  dog 
class,  though  too  thick  for  modern  ideas,  has  a  fine 
outline,  carries  his  head  high,  the  best  of  legs  and 
feet,  a  good  coat  and  shows  lots  of  quality — which 
thick  onea seldom  do. 

The  Irish  Terrier  bitch  Belfast  Rose  is  a  nice  one. 
She  Is  rather  lacking  in  under  jaw,  but  has  a  good 
carriage,  excellent  coat  and  is  well  timbered.  Prince, 
second,  looks  like  an  off  customer.  His  ears  are  bad 
and  he  is  somewhat  on  the  coarse  side.  Cardiff  War- 
man,  a  fine  bodied  dog,  out  of  coat,  and  tall  carried 
too  much  over,  Is  rather  spoiled  by  the  hang  of  his 
ears.  Tbey  look  like  a  Bedlongton's.  A  good  many 
Toys  were  exhibited,  among  them  a  beautiful  choco- 
late Pomeranian,  the  property  of  Mrs.  George  S. 
Thomas.

The  Calibre  of  the  Revolver. 


Whatever,  theoretically,  may  be  its  capabilities  and 
uses,  actual  service  has  found  for  the  revolver  but  one 
practical  use  which  justifies  its  retention  and  covers 
the  trouble  of  Hb  carrying  in  war;  namely,  to  destroy 
suddenly  and  effectively,  to  kill  "dead,"  an  enemy 
threatening  at  close  quarters,  within,  Bay,  twenty 
paces.  This  is  its  one  practical,  paramount  use,  and 
to  this  purpose  its  calibre  should  conform.  This  is 
the  use  which  in  the  days  of  the  wild  west  developed 
and  made  the  revolver  preeminently  the  weapon  of 
the  fighting  American,  and  made  it,  let  me  say,  not 
of  toy  calibre,  but  a  a  real  gun,  which  means  a  .45  and 
nothing  else. 

This  being  and  having  always  been  the  revolver's 
only  real  justification,  it  seems  most  strange  that 
without  any  change  in  its  purpose  there  should  have 
been  in  its  building  any  change  which,  like  the  lessen- 
ing of  its  calibre,  should  reduce  its  capability  of  ful- 
filling that  purpose.  It  is  probably  due  to  that 
spirit  of  humanity  which  in  long  peace  begins  to  hope 
that  war  can  be  made  without  killing  people.  At  any 
rate  the  calibre  is  reduced,  and  thus  have  we  put  at 
the  mercy  of  his  enemy,- most  often  now  a  savage, 
every  soldier  of  ours  who  in  a  real  crisis  relies  upon 
his  revolver  to  save  him. 

A  revolver  is  not  fit  for  hand-to-hand  encounter) 
and  it  is  practically  useless  for  fighting  beyond  twenty 
paces.  For  the  first,  anything  or  nothing  is  better — a 
sabre,  a  bayonet,  or  even  a  club — and  today  the  soldier 
of  every  branch  is  amply  armed  therefore.  For  the 
second,  his  hope  must  be  in  other  things,  the  rifle  or 
carbine;  for  the  revolver  does  not  in  practice  save  him. 
In  Buch  a  fight,  if  he  have  only  a  revolver,  then  must 
he,  and  in  reality  he  does,  always  voluntarily  or  in- 
voluntarily make  distance  fast  one  way  or  the  other, 
toward  or  from  his  enemy.  He  has  got  to  do  so  in 
order  to  make  his  own  arm  effective  agaisnt  the  enemy 
or  the  enemy's  ineffective  againBt  him.  This  is  ex- 
perience. The  revolver  is,  then,  an  arm  for  close 
quarters,  and  for  close  quarters  only.  Now  at  close 
quarters  you  must  kill  your  enemy  and  kill  him  quickj 
or  he  will  do  as  much  for  you.  It  is  not  enough 
simply  to  knock  him  down,  not  enough  to  wound, 
even  to  wound  him  badly;  because  over  the  souls  of 
men  fighting  and  falling  at  close  quarters,  even 
wounded  unto  death,  bui  not  dead,  comes  a  fierce 
rage  and  thirst  of  revenge,  an  awful  desire  to  kill  and 
sweep  their  Blayers  with  them  into  eternity,  and  often 
they  do  it.  It  is  but  the  crook  of  a  finger,  perhaps. 
Whenever,  therefore,  we  really  come  to  a  fight  with 
the  revolver  it  is  necessary  to  have  a  revolver  that 
will  kill.    This  the  .38  calibre  does  not. 

No  better  test  of  our  revolver's  worth  and  the  fitness 
of  its  calibre  for  the  purpose  for  which  a  revolver  has 
been  provided  can  be  baa  or  ever  has  been  had  than 
in  its  recent  use  by  our  troops  fighting  in  the  Moro 
country,  When  they  fight,  Moros  fight  suddenly  at 
close  quarters  in  the  revolver's  domain  of  twenty 
paces  It  is  a  damning  comment  on  the  calibre  of  the 
.38  that  every  officer,  man,  and  camp  follower  in  the 
regiments  which  have  served  against  the  Moros  after 
a  first  experience  laid  aside  the  .38  wherever  be  could 
by  hook  or  crook  raise  a  bigger  gun,  generally  the  old 
.45  Indeed,  a  department  commander,  who  by  con- 
stant personal  part  with  troops  in  the  fi6ld,  knew  the 
need,  provided  and  issued  to  officers  and  men  as  many 
as  he  could  get  of .  45  revolvers,  gladly  taking  even  the 
old  style  slow  working  single  action  ones. 

The  writer's  own  experience  and  observation  record 
many,  miserable  failures  of  the  .38  and  its  bullet  to  do 
what  we  have  a  right  to  expect  of  a  revolver,  together 
with  many  notable  examples  of  the  contrary  in  the 
calibre  which  we  have  abandoned  for  the  .38. 

At  San  Cristobal  bridge,  1st  January  1900,  our  men 
ran  a  small  bunch  of  half  a  dozen  insurgents,  as  it 
were, against  and  over  me  alone  in  concealment  a  little 
ahead  of  the  men.  On  they  came  like  a  flock  of 
frightened  sheep,  a  machine  gun  cracking  behind 
them.  Almost  poking  them  in  the  ribs,  I  emptied  my 
■38  into  them.  Never  a  man  hesitated  stopped  or  fell; 
never  a  man  seemed  to  flinch  or  start  at  my  shots. 
They  never  noticed  me.  I  might  as  well  have  been 
working  a  bean  Bhooter  on  them.  That  .38  never  hurt 
a  soul  of  them.  It  was  probably  on  acconnt  of  thiB 
kindly  treatment  that  they  had  the  consideration  not 
to  take  me  along  with  them,  as  they  could  easily  have 


done,  had  they  felt  so  inclined,  so  helpless  and  armless 
was  I. 

«-No  great  while  after  this  in  a  sudden  encounter  with 
insurgents  at  close  quartei'B,  an  ordinary  pistol  shot 
of  my  command  knocked  down  and  out  three  out  of  a 
bunch  of  five  insurgents  with  the  six  shots,  rapidly 
delivered,  from  his  revolver — his  .45  revolver. 

In  a  fight  by  boat  last  year  with  the  Sultan  of 
Toros  on  Lake  Lanao  I  suddenly  heard  a  death  groan 
and  a  fearful  struggle  behind  me.  I  turned  to  find  in 
my  boat  a  hostile  Moro,  kris  in  hand  and  the  awful 
tire  of  murder  blazing  in  his  eye.  One  stroke  of  his 
deadly  knife  had  hall  severed  the  head  from  the  body 
of  my  soldier  steersman,  and  the  flashing  blade  was 
raining  blows  .nto  the  bottom  of  the  boat  at  the 
prostrate  writhing  form  and  flying  legs  of  the  soldier 
oarsman  who  had  occupied  the  place  between  me  and 
the  steersman.  The  latter,  his  head  fallen  sadly  for- 
ward on  his  breast,  sat  bolt  upright  in  bis  place, 
dying.  Too  fast  to  tell  I  poured  four  shots  into  the 
Moro,  but  to  my  consternation  they  seemed  wholly 
without  effect;  and  in  desperation  and  bitterness  of 
heart,  cursing  such  an  arm  and  the  fate  that  had 
given  it  to  the  soldier  to  fail  him  in  his  hour  of  need, 
I  spared  the  last  two  shots,  springing  forward  in  the 
last  hope  of  shoving  the  revolver's  muzzle  against 
him,  and  so  to  blow  out  his  brains  or  heart.  In  that 
hundredth  part  of  an  instant  he  stooped  to  clear  a 
bamboo  bow  that  looped  the  narrow  boat  over  the 
body  of  the  fallen  oarsman;  I  thrust  my  muzzle 
against  the  top  of  his  close-cropped  head  and  fired. 
Then  at  last  he  felt  the  .38  and  sank  forward  upon  his 
own  weapon  and  the  legs  of  the  soldier  whose  head 
was  against  my  feet. 

A  cannon's  shot  from  this  place  another  day  in  a 
fight  with  Moros  this  happened:  A  Moro  who  had 
just  surrendered  in  our  assault  on  a  Moro  fort,  sud- 
denly snatched  a  dagger  from  his  clothing  and  sprang 
upon  a  soldier,  stabbing  with  that  invisible  speed 
with  which  only  a  Moro  can  work  with  a  knife.  He 
reached  the  soldier's  bowels  with  his  first  stroke,  but 
he  never  made  another.  A  single  shot  from  the  .45 
of  an  officer  nearby  dashed  him  into  eternity  as  if  by 
a  million  volts  of  electricity.  He  never  so  much  as 
kicked;  he  hardly  quivered.  That  .45  with  one  shot 
saved  the  soldier's  life.  Would  a  .38  have  done  it? 
Who  that  has  used  it  thinks  so? 

At  Paglima  Hassan's  cotta,  Jolo,  in  November  of 
last  year,  we  fought  for  half  a  mile  through  a  thick 
swamp.  From  their  hidding  in  the  bush,  and  behind 
boulders  and  trees  at  close  quarters,  fifteen  or  twenty 
paces,  Moros,  with  the  mad  heroism  with  which  they 
sometimes  fight,  repeatedly  rushed  our  men — to  die. 
Three  such  were  killed  by  an  excellent,  cool  pistol 
shot:  but,  first,  it  took  twelve  shots  to  do  it — four  per 
man;  second,  it  was  found  that  each  had  to  be  hit  in 
the  heart  before  he  was  stopped;  and  finally,  it  was  a 
special  bullet  used.  Now,  doesn't  it  seem  a  little 
straining,  to  say  the  least,  to  require  a  soldier  in 
deadly,  almost  hand-to-hand  combat  to  fire  four  shots 
to  save  himself  when  he  might  do  it  with  one?  Or  a 
little  unreasonable  to  require  him  to  provide  his  own 
special  bullets  for  such  occasions.  Or  introducing 
unnecessary  doubt  as  to  the  outcome  to  require  him 
under  such  conditions  to  hit  his  enemy  in  just  one 
little  spot,  the  head  or  the  heart?  In  this  last  I  mean 
no  joke. 

Only  the  day  before  the  incident  I  have  just 
described,  I  was  riding  behind  the  advance  guard 
along  a  narrow  trail  lined  with  the  tail  cogon  grass  of 
the  Philippines.  Happening  to  glance  back,  I  saw 
slipping  up  behind  me  a  hostile  Moro,  armed  with  a 
spear  and  a  meat  ax  they  called  a  barong.  As  I 
turned,  he  plunged  into  the  grass  and  was  followed 
by  myself  and  half  a  dozen  soldiers.  For  a  minute  we 
lost  him.  While  the  men  afoot  were  breaking  through 
the  thick  tangled  giant  grass,  I  saw  and  plunged  for- 
ward after  him  on  my  horse  into  a  small  opening, 
firing  from  my  .38  as  I  closed  in  on  him,  shot  after  shot 
which,  it  seemed  to  me,  ought  surely  to  have  brought 
him  down,  but  did  not.  He  never  appeared  to  notice 
them,  and  seeing  that  he  would  eBcape,  I  dashed  right 
up  to  him.  As  he  whirled  upon  me  then  with  raised 
Bpear,  I  shot  him  with  my  last  round  under  the  left 
arm.  At  the  crack  of  the  revolver  he  fell  as  if  struck 
down  by  some  unseen  mighty  hand,  and  the  men 
behind  me,  now  on  the  edge  of  the  opening,  cried  out 
at  the  sight:  "That  got  him,  that  got  him.,'  No 
such  thing.  He  bounded  from  the  earth  like  an  acro- 
bat from  a  spring  mattress.  My  revolver  was  empty; 
I  was  helpless.  The  Moro  was  wonderfully  alive,  and 
the  spear  play  seemed  about  to  begin  again,  when  the 
swish  of  a  shower  of  Krag  bullets  past  me  caught  him 
and  ended  it.  I  have  his  meatax,  thanks  to  theKrags, 
not  to  the  .38,  which,  though  it  had  hit,  hadnothurt. 

Contrast  this:  In  Jolo  a  contract  surgeon,  mounted, 
went  with  my  Bkirmish  line  in  an  attack  upon  Moros 
in  a  position  on  a  hill.  Suddenly  there  sprang  from 
behind  a  boulder  a  Moro  in  the  act  of  hurling  a  spear 
at  a  soldier  at  close  quarters.  The  doctor  fired;  the 
spear  flew,  but  missed  its  good  aim,  for  trembling  and 
death  were  already  in  the  arm  that  sped  it. 

With  one  shot  ol  his  .45  the  doctor  had  killed  the 
Moro  in  the  instant  between  aiming  and  throwing. 
Here  was  a  typical  use  with  beautiful  fitness  of  the 
revolver  for  the  purpose  for  which  a  revolver  is  in- 
tended.    The  .45  hadn't  failed  like  my  .38. 

Different  is  this  last  experience:  An  officer,  .38  in 
hand,  rushed  with  me  in  pursuit  of  a  datto,  who  had 
just  slashed  at  a  sergeant  and  escaped.  He  headed 
off  the  Moro  who  hid  in  the  jungle  and  when  the 
officer  came  near,  rushed  bim  at  close  quarters,  head 
down  and  bellowing  like  a  mad  bull,  kris  flying.  In 
an  instant  the  officer  fired  three  shots,  the  last  just 
as  the  Moro  reached  and  struck  him.  Other  shots 
were  then  fired  by  men  near,  and  the  datto  died  at 
the  officer's  feet,  but  not  until  he  bad  with  his  awful 
kris  inflicted  wounds  upon  the  officer  that  left  this 
poor  fellow  at  deabh'B  door.  "I  deserve  it,  major,  he 
said  bitterly;  "I  deserve  it  for  bringing  out  this. 38." 

Give  us,  I  say,  a  gun  that  will  kill,  not  a  pepper-box 
which,  when  we  use  it,  only  so  irritates  an  enemy 
that  he  comes  and  chops  us  with  a  knife. — Jlajor  R.

FROM    MANY    POINTS. 

At  the  West  Virginia  State  Shoot,  Parkersburg, 
May  16th  to  19th,  Mr.  F.  E.  Mallory  won  the  state 
championship  with  anew  Parker  ejecton  gun,  quality 
A'A,ufl"..S;J  Mr  Mallory  is  a  shooter  of  prominence 
and  the  "Old  Reliable"  in  his  hands,  just  fresh  from 
the  factory,  still  demonstrates  the  ability  of  the  gun 
in  no  small  degree. 

The  "Old  Reliable"  Parker  also  had  its  share  of 
glory  at  the  Herron  Hill  Gun  Club,  Pittsburg,  last 
week.  Mr.  Fred  Coleman  of  Philadelphia,  shooting 
at  live  birds  killed  65  straight  and  scored  115  out  of 
118,  with  two  dead  at  the  bounds.  This  is  the  severest 
test  to  which  a  shotgun  can  be  put  and  speaks 
volumes  for  the  shooting  qualities  of  the  old  gun.  Mr. 
Colemams  a  cracker-jack  and  thinks  well  of  the  "Old" 
Parker. 

Out  in  Illinois,  Mr.  A.  J.  Stauber  of  Streator,  111 
with  a  Parker  gun  broke  49  out  of  50  and  98  out  of 
100.  High  man  in  the  shoot  on  May  9th.  Leroy 
Leach,  who  scored  500  straight  on  February  22d  at 
Bonesteel,  S.  D,  has  shot  at  863  targets,  breaking  807 
out  of  this  number.  Mr.  Leach  is  a  new  advocate  of 
the  "Old  Reliable"  and  an  amateur  of  promise.  The 
Parker  stands  well  to  the  front  and  you  should  shoot 
it,  if  you  would  win.    

AN    ENVIABLE    REPUTATION. 

At  the  Union  Gun  Club  shoot,  Ingleside,  May  21st, 
of  the  48  contestants  who  faced  the  traps,  a  percent- 
age of  85J  were  users  of  that  always  famous  but  now 
permanently  popular  and  reliable  ammunition  bearing 
the  guarantee  for  perfection  and  accuracy — TJ.  M.  C. 

In  the  champion  class  Fred  Feudner  was  high  aver- 
age with  91  per  cent,  using  U.  M.  C.  shells.  In  the 
champion  clasB  pool  winners  were  Clarence  Nauman, 
A.  J.  Webb,  Otto  and  Fred  Feudner,  Edgar  Forster 
and  J.  W.  Bradrick,  all  using  TJ.  M.  C.  ammunition. 
Edgar  Forster  in  the  champion  class,  using  IT.  M.  C. 
Magic  shells,  was  winner  of  the  medal.  In  the  first 
class  the  winners  were  D.  Daniels  and  Dr.  E.  Pitres. 
Dr.  Pitres  made  a  straight  of  25.  In  the  second  class 
the  winners  were  JoBeph  Masterson  and  A.  M.  Shields, 
both  using  TJ.  M.  C.  shells.  In  the  third  class  the 
winners  were  Messrs.  Scott  Leary,  William  Schneider 
and  J.  Biller,  all  using  TJ.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

In  politics  it  counts  greatly  for  or  against  a  candi- 
date whether  he  wins  or  loses  in  his  own  home  terri- 
tory; consequently,  following  this  statement,  which  is 
almost  axiomatic,  the  popularity  of  TJ.  M.  C.  ammu- 
nition in  its  Pacific  Coast  home  is  indeed  evidence 
that  the  TJ.  M.  C.  products  have  made  good  in  every 
point  and  promise  which  go  to  make  up  the  qualities 
demanded  by  shotgun  experts. 

WINS    THAT    MEAN    SOMETHING. 

Wins  made  at  such  big  tournaments  as  the  Penn- 
sylvania State  Shoot  and  the  Missouri  State  Shoot 
mean  something,  because  the  entries  are  large  and 
the  competition  keen.  They  mean  extraordinary 
skill  in  the  shooter  and  superior  merit  in  the  ammu- 
nition used.  Winchester  "Leader"  shells  were  used 
in  making  the  following  recent  winnings:  Pennsyl- 
vania State  Shoot,  Reading  trophy,  four  man  team 
championship  of  Pennsylvania,  won  bv  team  composed

THE   FARM. 


Get  Profitable  Cows. 


On  the  average  dairying  has  been  a 
profitable  bueiness  for  the  western  farmer, 
who  has  now  reached  a  point  where  he 
must  have  something  more  than  the 
chance  of  a  calf  for  the  keep  of  an  average 
cow.  If  the  dairying,  however,  is  to  be 
profitable,  he  must  systematically  weed 
ont  his  cows.  It  takes  from  125  to  150 
pounds  of  butter  to  pay  for  the  keep  of  a 
cow  during  the  year,  using  farm  feed  at 
farm  prices,  and  low  farm  prices  at  that. 
If  it  requires  150  pounds  to  pay  for  the 
keep  of  the  cow  and  the  cow  gives  175 
pounds,  there  is  about  twenty-five  pounds 
of  butter,  say  $5  profit.  If  the  cow  gives 
200  pounds,  then  there  is  $10  profit,  twice 
as  much  profit  ae  with  a  cow  that  gives 
175  pounds.  Two  hundred  pounds  is  not 
a  large  yield.  In  fact  it  should  be  the 
minimum  in  the  mind  of  the  farmer. 
Yields  of  300  pounds  each  for  a  number 
of  years  for  the  cows  in  whole  dairies  are 
not  rare,  and  there  are  occasional  in- 
stances where  the  yield  netB  up  to  350 
pounds.  These,  however,  are  rare.  Where 
a  man  has  a  2u0  pound  cow  he  can  make 
some  money ;  where  he  has  250  pound 
cows  he  can  make  plenty  of  it.  Where  he 
has  cows  averaging  300  pounds  he  is  on 
•'Easy  Street"  and  need  not  fear  the  rod 
flag  of  the  sheriff  about  his  premises. 

To  get  a  herd  of  cows  yielding  this 
high  average,  however,  is  a  matter  of 
time  and  close  study.  The  way  to  begin 
is  to  have  the  cows  tested  once  a  week 
either  by  buying  a  Babc.ck  tester  and 
doing  it  yourself,  or  by  taking  a  composite 
sample  of  the  week's  milk  to  the  creamery 
and  getting  it  tested.  A  composite  sample 
is  easily  prepared.  Take  a  Mason  fruit 
jar  for  each  cow  and  put  her  name  on  it, 
put  some  corrosive  sublimate  in  it,  with  a 
little  red  paint  in  it  to  warn  of  danger, 
put  in  a  gill  of  each  day's  milk,  and  at  the 
end  of  the  week  take  it  to  the  creamery 
and  have  it  tested.  He  must,  however, 
weigh  the  milk  each  day,  for  it  is  not  a 
question  of  the  quality  of  milk  alone  nor 
of  the  quantity,  but  a  question  of  quantity 
and  quality.  You  will  then  find  out  what 
your  cows  are  doing. 

It  is  not  well  to  discard  a  cow,  particu- 
larly a  heifer,  because  she  doeB  not  do 
well  the  first  year.  She  may  do  better 
the  next  year,  and  as  much  must  not  be 
expected  of  a  two-year-old  heifer  as  of 
three  and  four-year-old  cows.  When  you 
make  up  your  mind  that  a  cow  falls  be- 
low the  standard,  then  fatten  her  and 
sell  her  to  the  butcher,  or  sell  her  to 
some  man  who  wants  to  try  the  experi- 
ment of  keeping  the  cow  for  the  chance 
of  a  calf.  This  is  one  side  of  the  ques- 
tion. 

The  other  is  to  feed  a  balanced  ration. 
By  a  balanced  ration  we  mean  a  ration 
or  feed  which  has  in  it  the  elements 
neceeaary  to  yield  a  large  amount  of  good 
milk.  In  a  good  May  or  June  pasture  we 
have  a  balanced  ration  of  nature's  mak- 
ing. That  is  one  reason  why  fresh  cows 
always  do  their  best  in  May  or  June.  It 
is  not  the  only  reason,  for  in  these 
months  the  lly  does  not  trouble,  and 
otherwise  conditions  are  at  their  beBt. 
Many  farmers  fall  down  by  not  feeding  a 
balanced  ration.  They  expect  their  cows 
to  work  miracles,  to  make  bricks  without 
straw,  to  provide  milk  without  ha\ing 
the  proper  raw  material.  We  have  abun- 
dant examples  of  cows  being  picked  up 
by  the  experiment  stations,  notably  in 
K-ansas,  just  common  country  cows,  that' 
when  brought  to  the  college  and  properly 
fed  prove  to  be  exceptionally  profitable 
milkers.  They  were  not  profitaDle  on  the 
fa  m  because  the  farmer  did  not  give 
them  a  chance,  did  not  feed  them  a  bal- 
anced ration. 
This  balanced  ration  is  not  some  new- 
ngled  scientific  notion    gotten    up    by 


agricultural  papers,  colleges  and  experi- 
ment stations,  but  just  a  plain,  every-day, 
common  sense,  practical  proposition.  It 
is  jjst  giving  the  cow  what  she  needs  for 
the  work  Bhe  has  on  hand,  juBt  as  our 
grandmothers  gave  us  pork  and  beans— 
the  pork  furnishing  the  carbohydrates 
and  the  beans  the  albuminoids;  just  as 
they  give  us  bread  and  butter,  the  bread 
furnishing  the  albuminoids,  the  butter 
the  carbohydrates;  just  as  they  give  us 
roast  beef  and  potatoes,  the  beef  furnish- 
ing the  flesh-formers,  the  potatoes  the 
carbohydrates ;  just  as  they  give  us  a  good 
old-fashioned  New  England  boiled  dinner, 
which  has  it  in  about  evervthing  you  can 
think  of — some  meat,  potatoes,  turnips, 
parsnips,  cabbage,  carrots — all  going  to 
the  right  spot — the  cheapest  and  best 
dinner  that  a  man  can  get  at  a  restaurant. 
Now  we  must  apply  the  same  common 
sense  to  the  feeding  of  dairy  cows,  if  they 
are  to  be  profitable.  There  is  nothing 
better  than  good  pasture  and  its  grasses 
during  May  and  June.  Tbore  iB  nothing 
better  during  the  winter  than  corn  silage 
with  alfalfa  and  clover  hay.  The  one 
question  which  dairy  farmers  must  study 
with  increased  diligence  during  the  years 
to  come  is  what  constitutes  a  balanced 
ration,  or  the  ration  that  goes  to  the  right 
spot  and  doeB  the  business. — Chicago

Poultry  Pointers. 


for 


adapted  to  the  raising  of  water  fowls. 
Besides  yielding  a  regular  income  in  the 
way  of  featheis,  they  are  very  profitable 
fowls  for  the  market,  much  easier  raised 
than  turkeys ;  they  sell  as  readily  at 
most  seasons  at  good  profits. 

Breeding  flocks  of  poultry  should  con- 
sist of  the  beat  of  the  whole  flock.  A 
dozen  selected  hens  mated  with  a  choice 
cock  and  the  eggs  from  them  UBed  only 
for  hatching  purposes  is  a  sure  mode  of 
gradually  increasing  the  quality  of  the 
stock  and  by  so  doing  the  poultryman 
can  make  a  selection  of  particular  breeds 
at  a  small  coBt 

Do  not  make  the  mistake  of  trying  to 
keep  too  many  kinds.  It  is  a  great  deal 
more  trouble  and  expense  to  attempt  to 
keep  two  breeds  separate  than  it  is  to 
keep  only  one,  while  with  only  one  breed 
a  better  opportunity  iB  afforded  to  note 
the  best  layers  and  of  selecting  their  eggs 
from  which  to  breed. 


How  to  Choose  a  Boar. 


Maiket  all  fowls  but  those  needed. 
Early    feeding    is    most    desirable 
fowls. 

The  hominy  meal  is  important  and  is 
alBO  the  moBt  relished 

Do  not  allow  the  fowls  to  Bleep  on  the 
sheds  and  trees  at  night. 

While  ducks  can  live  in  water  all  day, 
they  must  have  dry  quarters  at  night. 

Feed  gOBlings  little  and  often  and  after  a 
week  old  turn  out  to  pasture. 

Removing  to  dry  quarters  t  ill  fight  the 
biggest  half  of  any  diseaae. 

Fowls  that  are  overied  are  not  healthy 
neither  will  they  lay  eggs  regularly. 

If  a  hen  leaves  her  neBt  when  any  one 
approaches  she  Bhould  not  be  used  for 
setting  purposes. 

Do  not  get  the  pullets  too  fat   by  high 

feeding ;  let  them  grow  long  and  muBCu  ar. 

There   is  no  good   reason   for   keeping 

and  feeding  old  male  birds  a   week  after 

the  demand  for  hatching  egg  is  over. 

Grain  is  needed  to  be  fed  when  bones 
and  vegetables  are  supplied  in  abundance. 
EggB  from  fully  matured  fowls  will  not 
only  hatch  better,  but  will  produce 
stronger  chicks,  and  will  be  lesB  liable  to 
degenerate. 

The  evening  ration  should  be  a  grain 
one  and  generously  fed,  the  object  being 
to  keep  the  cropB  of  the  layers  full  during 
the  night. 

In  feeding  for  eggs  good  judgment  is 
required  to  steer  between  the  two  ex- 
tremes of  insufficient  nourishment  and 
over-feeding. 

To  have  good  layers  breed  from  good 
laying  Btock  and  cultivate  their  quality 
the  same  as  any  other  important  points 
of  usefulness. 

The  evening  feed  of  both  ducks  and 
turkeys  Bhould  be  scattered  near  the 
roosting  places. 

Never  attempt  too  much  ;  keep  only  as 
many  fowls  as  you  have  ample  place  for; 
only  as  many  varieties  as  you  can  do  full 
justice  to  if  you  expect  to  make  a  success 
of  the  buBinees. 

The  first  eggs  laid  in  spring  are  usually 
the  best  for  hatching,  but  those  laid  by 
pullets  should  not  he  set.  After  a  hen 
has  produced  thirty  or  forty  eggs  in  regu- 
lar succession  the  system  becomes  en- 
feebled and  the  eggs  are  more  or  lesB 
wanting  in  vitality. 

The  food  for  fattening  should  always 
be  given  in  the  form  of  meal  or  some- 
thing similar,  ae  the  digestion  of  soft  food 
is  much  easier  than  grain.  It  will  also 
be  a  help  if  all  of  the  soft  food  is  wet  up 
with  sweet  milk.

as    they  should     on      farms,   especially 


"Like  begetB  like."  You  want  bows 
hammed  down  at  the  hock  and  when  you 
stand  behind  them  they  are  full  and  fleshy 
in  the  fork.  Did  you  ever  think  of  thiB 
when  you  were  selecting  the  boar?  Well, 
then  hereafter,  see  that  the  male  is  so  full 
there  that  it  forces  the  privates  low  down 
and  not  away  up  near  the  tail. 

"Like  begets  like."  The  most  im- 
portant part  of  a  broodsow  is  her  milking 
capacity.  You  want  a  nice  full  even  lot 
of  teats.  Well,  see  that  the  boar  has 
them  fully  and  evenly  developed.  The 
larger  the  better.  1  never  saw  a  boar 
with  small  uneven  teats  that  sired  a  lot 
of  sows  that  proved  themselves  good 
sucklers. 

"Like  begets  like"  only  to  an  intensified 
degree  the  longer  and  stronger  the  breed- 
ing in  a  line.  This  being  bo.  it  is  true  of 
every  part  of  the  animal,  and  therefore 
more  care  must  be  taken  to  select  the 
best. — Live  Stock  and  Dairy. 


Age  to  Castrate  Lambs. 


The  ability  to  select  a  pig,  and  to  tell 
what  he  will  develop  into  at  maturity  iB 
one  of  the  things  that  few  hog  breeders 
ever  succeed  in  being  able  to  do.  To 
learn  this  requires  the  closest  attention 
to  the  development  and  a  keen  concep- 
tion of  nature. 

The  selection  of  the  male  at  two  months 
old,  and  to  be  positive  as  to  what  he  will 
make  as  a  two-year-old  is  the  point  that 
few  are  able  to  do  and  one  of  the  things 
that  we  wiBh  to  help  you  with  as  far  aB 
we  can. 

•Starting  with  the  head  we  would  say 
get  a  face  wide  between  the  eyes,  short 
in  length,  a  medium  Bized  ear,  carried  up 
if  thin  or  it  will  come  down  with  age.  A 
large  ear,  even  if  up  when  young,  will 
drop  down  and  cover  the  eyesight.  The 
eye  should  be  strong,  bright  and  show 
some  white  which  donates  vigor  and  the 
life  of  the  animal. 

Take  two  pigs  alike  in  these  respects, 
then  Btand  in  front  of  them  looking  down 
on  their  backs,  one  is  broad  shouldered 
carrying  width  nicely  back  to  a  nice, 
rounded  ham  with  just  showing  a  crease 
across  the  loin  at  the  point  of  the  ham, 
the  other  one  has  a  narrow  shoulder,  the 
blades  coming  up  close  to  Bpine  like  the 
Bhoulder  blades  of  a  Jersey  cow,  but 
BeemB  to  be  good  width  through  the 
lungs.  This  pig,  when  standing  in  front 
of  him,  startB  at  the  ears  and  gets  wider, 
clear  back  to  point  of  ham,  about  three 
inches  each  side  of  the  tail,  and  here  the 
ham  seems  to  be  square.  Go  behind 
these  two  pigs  and  the  last  one  seems  to 
be  fuller  and  wider  than  the  other  one, 
ham  running  as  far  down  to  the  hock  and 
both  reach  well  along  the  back,  ribB  well 
sprung  and  while  looking  like  good 
lengthy  pigs  they  are  nicely  coupled. 
Standing  at  one  side,  the  back  is  slightly 
arched  above  the  straight  line  from  ear 
to  tail.  It  haB  a  nice  clean  even  sweep. 
The  bottom  line  runs  from  hock  with  a 
nice  even  drop,  though  deep  between  the 
front  legB  and  carriea  the  briBket  out  low 
and  full  toward  the  jowl.  The  jaw  iB 
full,  strong  and  firm. 

Which  pig  is  your  choice?  Nearly  every 
one  will  take  the  first,  other  things  being 
equal.  Well,  you  are  wrong.  The  first 
hog  will  be  heavy  shouldered  and  at  two 
years  will  be  wedge  shape  with  the  small 
end  behind.  Take  the  smooth  Bbouldered 
hog  and  aB  he  develops  the  shoulders  will 
fill  out  and  at  two  years  old  you  will  have 
a  big  square  hog,  good  at  both  ends  and 
far  ahead  of  the  first  one. 

Then  consider  the  legs.  Get  Btraight 
lege.  Do  not  have  knock-kneed  pigs  in 
front.  Have  them  on  Btraight  legs  stand- 
ing up  on  their  feet.  This  is  also  true  of 
the  hind  legs.  We  see  so  many  hogs  with 
the  hind  legs  crooked.  The  feet  are  in 
under  them  from  four  to  six  inches  too 
far,  therefore,  the  strain  comes  on  the 
hock  joint  and  as  they  get  heavy  the 
joint  will  not  stand  the  weight  and  you 
will  notice  the  hog  stepping  around  and 
then  sit  down  simply  because  he  does  not 
stand  on  straight  hind  legs. 


In  a  recent  article  on  the  subject  of 
castration  of  lambs  it  was  adviBed  that 
the  operation  be  performed  when  lambs 
are  fifteen  days  old.  This  advice  was 
based  upon  an  extensive  experience  with 
the  operation  but  we  have  nothing  to 
say  against  castrating  lambs  at  five  days 
old  provided  those  following  the  practice 
have  good  success.  We  have  preferred 
fifteen  days  as  the  best  time,  thinking 
the  lambs  by  that  time  would  have  be- 
come strong,  in  good  health,  over  the 
troubles  Bometimes  experienced  from  the 
first  milk  of  the  dam  and  leBS  liable  to 
quit  sucking  as  a  result  of  the  operation. 
In  many  instances  lambs  at  five  days  old 
are  weakly  beastieB  not  in  a  fit  state  to 
withstand  shock  of  castration  so  that  it 
is  best  to  wait  until  they  gather  Btrength 
and  are  thriving  nicely.  This  is  specially 
true  when  ewes  have  had  a  hard  winter 
upon  incomplete  rations  of  hay  and  fod- 
der without  grain.  Where  ewes  are  well 
fed  and  have  thriven  well  during  winter 
their  lambs  would  be  better  able  to  stand 
the  early  operation.  It  is  apparent, 
therefore,  that  good  judgment  Bhould  be 
used  in  deciding  when  to  castrate,  and 
we  would  always  wait  for  good  weather 
even  were  lambs  to  go  longer  than  fifteen 
dayB  uncut—  A.  S    Alexander,  V.  S. 


Sheep  are  very  much  like  other  animals; 
if  they  are  to  be  good  sized,  tender  and 
thrifty,  they  need  to  have  a  good  chance 
while  young,  so  that  they  may  grow 
rapidly. 

o 

Keep  the  Bheep  growing  and  healthy  all 
of  the  time.  If  they  slsck  up  in  growth 
they  will  never  do  as  well  afterward.

How  to  Handle  a  Bull. 


To  dairymen  aod  stockmen  all  over  the 
country,  to  men  with  large  herds  and  men 
with  email  herds,  one  troublesome  ques- 
tion stands  out  prominently,  and  that  is, 
how  to  beBt  handle  and  control,  without 
impairing  hia  usefulness,  the  bull  or  bulls 
kept  either  lor  stock  raising  or  dairy  pur- 
poses. 

I  think  the  stockmen  have  less  trouble 
than  the  dairymen ;  for  the  first  reason, 
that  in  the  larger  herds  of  cattle  the  bull 
or  bulls  run  with  the  herd,  and  for  the 
second  reason,  that  in  the  larger  and  more 
sluggish  breeds  of  cattle  the  bulls  are  not 
nearly  as  nervous  or  vicious  as  in  some  of 
the  dairy  strains.  This  latter  fact  seems 
to  be  so  well  understood  that  it  has  come 
to  be  a  general  saying  that  a  Jersey  bull 
is  just  about  as  dangerous  as  a  grizzly 
bear. 

To  dairymen  who  breed  their  herds  to 
come  fresh  at  certain  times  of  the  year, 
and  have  to  take  care  of  their  bull  and 
keep  him  stabled  or  penned  up  a  greater 
part  of  time,  I  offer  what  I  think  is  a 
fairly  good  solution  of  the  question. 

The  bull,  we  must  remember,  iB  an 
animal  of  great  energy  and  vigor,  and  in 
his  natural  condition  would  expend  a 
great  deal  of  that  energy  and  vigor  in 
roaming  the  country  from  one  band  of 
cattle  to  another,  if  the  bands  are  small, 
fighting  with  other  bulls.  Hie  horns  were 
given  him  for  defense  and  aggression  but 
if  he  can  get  company  and  some  other 
animal  of  his  kind  to  play  with,  he  verv 
seldom  becomes  vicious ;  for  the  bull  is 
actually  a  very  playful  animal,  and  loves 
c  mpany.  Now,  to  tie  up  or  pen  up  with- 
out company  an  animal  of  this  kind,  and 
expect  him  to  be  gentle  and  good  natured 
is  asking  too  much  of  animal  nature.  And 
many  a  good  bull  has  been  killed  for 
being  cross  when  he  might  have  been  kept 
for  years  with  proper  treatment.  When 
I  say  "many  a  good  bull,"  I  mean  just 
what  I  say,  for  nearly  all  the  very  vigor- 
ous, virile  bulls  are  inclined  to  be  vicious, 
and  if  any  dairyman  has  paid  close  atten- 
tion he  will  find  out  that  most  of  his  best 
cows  have  come  from  this  class  of  bulls. 

Now,  the  following  treatment  I  have 
found  to  be  the  best  to  keep  them  quiet 
and  render  them  reasonably  safe,  viz: 
FirBt,  to  fence  a  lot  about  large  enough 
to  give  him  most  of  his  pasture  in  the 
summer.  The  fence  should  be  strong, 
but  if  he  is  put  in  when  young,  it  will  not 
be  hard  to  keep  him  with  a  reasonably 
good  fence.  Keep  him  iD  there  all  the 
time,  with  a  place  to  stable  and  feed  him 
in  winter. 

Second,  when  abut  eighteen  months 
old,  dehorn  him. 

Quite  a  number  of  good  stockmen  object 
to  dehorning,  and  say  that  a  dehorned 
bull  can  kill  a  man  juBt  as  well  as  one 
with  horns  on. 

I  admit  this  to  be  true,  but  I  also  know 
that  every  animal  knows  by  instinct  what 
his  fighting  weapons  are,  and  a  bull  de- 
horned will  not  tackle  a  man  nearly  as 
readily  as  one  with  horns. 

Thirdly,  never  pet  a  bull;  always  treat 
him  kindly  hut  firmly.  If  you  want  to 
drive  him  into  a  stable  or  another  pen, 
drive  him,  if  it  takes  a  club  or  a  fork  or 
all  of  the  crew  on  the  place,  but  drive 
him.  Start  this  when  young,  and  he 
won't  trouble  you  much  later  on. 

Fourth,  put  another  bull  with  him,  or 
if  the  place  does  not  carry  two  bulls,  go 
and  buy  a  stag  and  put  in  with  him,  even 
if  the  pen  will  not  support  the  two  and 
you  have  to  feed  them.  You  will  then 
find  that  a  greater  part  of  their  time  will 
be  put  in  playing;  and  by  this  method 
the  bull  gets  lots  of  exercise.  He  works 
off  his  surplus  vim,  tries  himself ;  he  has 
company  all  the  time;  it  makes  him  good 
natured,  and  last,  but  not  least,  he  iB 
surer  in  service. 

I  have  never  but  once  seen  a  bull  cross 
or  vicious  when  another  bull  of  about  like 
size  was  kept  with  him  in  a  pen  large 
enough  for  good  exercise;  and  when  bo 
kept,  I  have  been  able  to  go  into  their 
pen,  separate  them  and  let  them  serve 


cows  with  no  barrier  between  them ;  just 
simply  stand  in  front  of  the  other  one 
with  a  stick;  I  have  been  able  at  all 
times  to  drive  them  into  a  stable  and 
close  them  up  as  easily  as  an  ox. 

I  have  taken  a  vicious  bull,  kept  alone, 
and  put  him  in  with  another,  and  in  a 
short  time  he  has  become  docile;  after 
some  weeks,  to  experiment  with  him,  I 
have  put  him  by  himself,  and  he  has 
become  vicious  and  dangerous;  and  I 
have  put  him  back  with  another,  and  he 
haB  become  docile. 

Besides  being  kind  to  a  bull,  treat  him 
justly.  I  could,  and  perhaps  sometime 
will,  write  you  an  article  showing  how  a 
bull  resented  unjuBt  treatment  at  my 
bands,  and  it  was  done  in  a  manner  that 
thoroughly  convinced  me  that  an  intelli- 
gent bull  knows  when  he  is  treated  un- 
justly.— I).  M.  limes  in  Dairy  and  Live

Poultry  Destroys  Insects. 

One  advantage  in  keeping  poultry  on 
the  farm  is  generally  overl  oked,  and 
that  is  the  vast  number  of  insects  de- 
stroyed by  them. 

If  every  insect  destroyed  by  a  hen  in  a 
day  were  counted  and  an  estimate  made 
of  the  number  of  inBecte  eaten  by  a  flock 
of  twenty-five  hens,  it  would  show  that 
hens  are  more  useful  in  that  respect  than 
may  be  supposed. 

When  busily  at  work  scratching,  the 
hens  secure  many  grubs  and  worms,while 
the  larvae  of  insects  also  assist  in  provid- 
ing them  with  food. 

A  flock  of  turkeys  will  scratch  every 
nook  and  corner  of  the  field  for  insects, 
and  as  a  turkey  can  consume  a  large 
amount  of  food,  it  will  make  away  with  a 
vast  number  of  them  each  day. 

The  active  guinea  is  ever  on  the  search 
over  the  fields  for  insects.  It  does  not 
scratch,  but  every  blade  of  grass  is  looked 
over,  and  rarely  comes  up  to  the  barn- 
yard to  seek  food.  Its  industry  prompts 
it  to  secure  its  own  food,  and  in  bo  doing 
hundreds  of  insects  are  destroyed. 

The  ravenous  duck,  whoBe  appetite 
seems  never  satisfied,  will  attempt  to  seek 
enough  in  the  fields,  and  it  captures  not 
only  insects, but  tbe  field-mouse  and  small 
reptiles,  which  will  be  eaten  if  other  food 
is  not  plentiful.

There  is  a  continued  decreaBe  in  im- 
portation of  meat  into  Germany,  especial- 
ly from  the  United  StateB,  and  Consul 
Frank  H.  Mason,  at  Ber'in,  attributes  it 
to  the  rigid  inspection  of  all  incoming 
shipments.  He  eaya  there  is  a  remark- 
able increase  in  the  consumption  of  horBe 
flesh  throughout  the  German  empire.  In 
writing  to  the  State  Department  Mr.  Ma- 
son says :  "In  1897  the  whole  number  of 
horses  killed  in  Berlin  for  meat  was  7267. 
In  1900  the  number  had  increased  to  10,- 
815,  and  last  year  to  13,000.  Estimating 
that  an  average  size  horse  will  yield  230 
poundB  of  edible  flesh,  there  was  derived 
from  this  source  last  year  about  3,290,000 
pounds  of  meat  which  was  sold  in  sixty- 
four  shops  which  are  especially  licensed 
for  that  purpose.  At  BreBlau,  which  has 
a  population  of  about  500,000,  against 
2,500,000  in  Berlin  and  suburbs,  3800 
horses  were  killed  last  year  for  human 
food,  and  in  Southern  Germany,  and 
especially  Saxony,  the  consumption  of 
horse  flesh  was  much  greater. 
o 

While  sheep  will  get  more  sustenance 
from  poor  land  and  at  the  same  time  do 
the  land  more  good  than  any  other  stock 
we  may  possess,  it  must  not  be  forgotten 
that  they  will  also  repay  liberal  feeding.

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on

Are  You  Interested 
in  Draft  Horses? 

IF    YOU   ABE.    BEAD    THIS: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  those  interested  In  Draft  Horses  that  we  are  fully  determined 
to  close  out  our  Stallions  in  the  next  four  weeks.  In  color  they  are  mostly  blaoks — a  few  dark  greys. 
One  of  them  a  five-year  old.  Weight  2100  pounds.  One  of  the  finest  we  imported  has  a  fine,  small 
head  and  throat  latch,  very  short  In  the  back  with  a  draft  middle;  is  olean  in  the  limbs  and  has 
been  very  much  admired  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  We  have  two  other  dark  greys  that  are  very 
much  admired  on  account  of  quality  and  size.  In  our  collection  of  thirty  head  of  Stallions  the  first 
sales  were  greys.  We  have  one  dark  bay  with  blaok  points,  no  white;  coming  four  years  old,  weight 
2050  pounds.  We  will  guarantee  him  to  weigh  at  maturity  2400  pounds.  He  is  muoh  admired  for  his 
fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  short  back.  His  limbs  are  first-class  and  in  proportion  to  his  body. 
These  Stallions  are  not  like  some  other  breeds  that  we  have  with  the  thickest  part  of  the  neck  at  the 
top  end.  They  have  size,  quality  and  enduranoe.  We  have  quite  a  number  of  black  stallions,  four 
and  five  years  old,  weighing  from  1900  to  2000  pounds  Their  good  qualities  are  too  numerous  to  men- 
tion. They  are  as  "fine  as  peaohes,"  with  fine  head  and  throat  latch  and  very  olean  limbed.  We 
neverhad  a  barn  of  as  good  Stallions  at  any  place  as  we  have  at  present  in  San  Jose.  These  Stal- 
lions are  ready  any  day  for  service. 

People  say  that  there  is  at  present  tho  brightest  prospect  for  good  crops  in  this  oountry  that  has 
been  for  years.  Wny  will  not  the  farmer  improve  his  horse  stock  and  also  the  prosperity  of  the  com* 
munity  In  which  he  lives?    We  now  have  twenty  head  of  good  Stallions  to  select  from. 

C.  F.  Singmaster,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm,  has  been  In  San  Jose  for  the  past  five  weeks  and 
is  proud  to  say  we  havehad  extremely  good  sucoess  In  making  sales.  Have  met  with  only  two  fail- 
ures in  making  sales,  and  that  was  sometime  ago  when  people  were  a  little  afraid  of  drouth.  We 
expect  the  parties  to  come  back  now  any  day,  as  we  have  had  fine  rains  and  prospects  for  the  fanner 
and  stock  raiser  never  were  better.  Intending  purchasers  wilt  do  well  to  come  soon  and  see  our 
stockof  horses,  and  we  are  very  sure  they  will  go  home  with  a  good  Stallion.  Where  they  pay  cash 
we  make  a  liberal  discount.    In  our  next  shipment  will  be  some  good  registered  draft  mares.

bination  of  Wilkes  and  Morgan  has  produced  the 
desired  result.  In  this  issue  he  advertises  a  number 
of  his  horses  at  private  sale.  He  sells  cff  a  lot  every 
year  and  selects  the  best  he  has  for  the  market,  keep- 
ing a  few  fillies  to  replenish  the  ranks  of  his  brood- 
mares. The  horses  he  advertises  are  necessarily  but 
briefly  described,  but  he  will  be  pleased  to  send  full 
information  about  any  or  all  of  them  to  those  who 
contemplate  purchasing.  He  does  not  hold  these 
horses  at  exorbitant  figures  but  proposes  giving  buy- 
ers the  worth  of  thei  r  money.  The  horses  ad  vertised 
are  at  Irvington  track,  Portland.  If  you  visit  the 
fair  this  will  be  a  fine  oppcrtuniny  to  get  a  good  young 
horse  at  a  low  price.

GOOD  RACING  will  be  furnished  by  the  harness 
horses  on  the  California  circuit  this  summer. 
There  has  seldom  been  a  season  when  so  few  horses 
have  gone  wrong  from  sickness  or  lameness,  and  at 
the  same  time  few  prospective  record  breakers  are  in 
training  There  are  at  least  fifty  trotters  being 
worked  that  are  expected  to  win  heats  in  2:15  when 
just  right,  but  miles  below  2:10  are  not  expected  to  be 
very  frequent.  With  the  pacers  it  is  about  the  same. 
There  are  many  2:10  horses,  but  so  far  none  of  the  2:05 
order  are  being  talked  about.  The  result  of  this  con- 
dition of  affairs  will  be  large  fields  and  close  contests 
at  every  meeting.  Races  in  which  it  is  hard  to  pick 
the  winner  are  the  ones  that  draw  the  crowds,  and 
there  is  hardly  a  class  to  be  decided  in  California  this 
year  where  any  entry  so  far  made  is  considered  to 
have  little  chance  to  win.  The  prospects  are  excellent 
for  the  closest  and  best  racing  held  in  California  for 
several  seasons.  It  must  not  be  considered  that  the 
time  will  be  slow,  however,  as  many  heats  will  be  trot- 
ted in  2:15  and  better,  while  the  pacers  will  be  racing 
around  2:10  at  every  meeting. 


THE  DOWN  EAST  SALE  held  by  the  Fasig- 
Tipton  Company  at  Boston  last  week  was  a 
decided  success  considering  the  number  and  quality 
of  the  horses  put  under  the  hammer.  A  full  report 
of  the  sale  has  not  reached  us,  but  during  the  first 
three  day6  prices  averaged  well  Few  horses  of  great 
note  or  merit  were  offered.  The  highest  price  paid 
during  the  three  days  was  $4200 bid  by  John  F.  Payne 
of  Goshen,  New  York,  for  Sideview  Belle,  the  star 
attraction  of  the  catalogue.  She  is  a  five-year-old 
mare,  described  as  the  "greatest  green  trotter  on 
earth."  She  trotted  a  trial  in  2:11  J  last  year,  it  is 
said,  with  the  last  half  in  1:04.  She  is  by  Electric 
Bell  (member  of  the  famous  Electioneer-Beautiful 
Bells  family)  out  of  Baronette  by  Baron  Wilkes, 
second  dam  Nettie  by  Tom  Hal,  third  dam  Kit  by 
Sorrel  Tom.  The  two  McKinneys  taken  to  the  sale 
by  James  Thompson  brought  $550  and  $325.  The 
highest  priced  one  was  a  two-year-oid  out  of  the  dam 
of  Eleata  2:08},  and  the  other  a  four-year-old  out  of  a 
Memo  mare.  The  nineteen-year-old  stallion  May 
King  2:20,  sire  of  Bingen  2:06},  was  knocked  down  for 
$650.  It  is  said  eighteen  mares  have  been  booked  to 
him  at  $50  each.  The  average  of  the  sale  was  close 
to  $400. 


CAN  FRANCISCO  AUTHORITIES  are  conslder- 
'-'  ing  putting  a  license  lax  of  $2  per  head  on  all 
horses  kept  and  ridden  ordriven  in  the  city.  Assessor 
Dodge  is  of  the  opinion  that  levying  a  license  tax  of 
that  amount  on  all  truck,  dray  and  delivery  rigs,  and 
not  putting  a  like  tax  on  the  carriages  of  the  wealthy 
is  discrimination,  therefore  he  has  proposed  to  the 
Supervisors  that  a  general  license  tax  of  $2  on  each 
horse  used  on  the  city's  streets  would  raise  a  large 
fund  for  the  street  department  and  be  more  just  and 
uniform  in  its  effect. 


BROOK  NOOK  STOCK  RANCHE  horses  are 
known  throughout  the  Northwest  and  the  East 
as  good  lookers,  good  doers  and  sound  in  wind  and 
limb.  Mr.  C.  X  Larrabee  has  used  the  Alcyone  and 
Morgan  blood  in  breeding  and  has  found  that  this  com- 


San  Jose  Training  News. 

San  Jose,  June  1 — The  San  Jose  track  has  never 
been  better  for  training  purposes  than  during  the 
past  two  weeks  and  the  trainers  have  been  getting  in 
some  right  good  work  during  this  time.  A  lot  of 
horses  down  here  have  had  a  sort  of  a  disease  similar 
to  distemper,  probably  caused  by  the  unusually  wet 
and  cold  weather  this  spring,  but  the  majority  of 
them  have  rounded  to  in  good  shapeand  are  at  regular 
work  again,  although  no  very  fast  miles  have  been 
credited  to  anything  except  Lou  Dillos,  wbcse  best 
work  up  to  date  is  2:11.  Mr.  Doble  gave  her  five 
miles  on  Tuesday  but  the  fastest  of  these  were  evenly 
rated  miles  in  2:17  and  2:15.  The  work  was  done  in  a 
most  pleasing  fashion  and  Mr.  Doble  remarked  that 
he  had  never  known  her  to  take  more  kindly  to  her 
task  as  she  showed  no  signs  of  fretfulness  at  any  time 
and  her  manners  eould  scarcely  be  improved  upon. 
Mr.  Doble  willgive  her  some  right  stiff  work  on  Satur- 
day, and  it  is  his  intention  to  ship  her  East  about  the 
first  of  next  week. 

T.  W.  Barstpw  has  commenced  to  move  his  fast 
mare  Alone  2:09}  by  Nearest  along  at  a  pretty  lively 
gait  and  Tuesday  morning  worked  her  three  miles 
better  than  2:18  with  the  last  one  in  2:14,  half  in  1:04, 
which  seemed  only  play  for  her  She  is  a  perfectly 
mannered  and  nice  going  big  mare  and  if  she  gtts  to 
the  races  in  good  shape  will  be  a  dangerous  factor  in 
her  class.  Mr.  Barstow  has  a  couple  of  the  fastest 
young  pacers  at  the  track  in  Just  It  aDd  High  Fly 
both  by  Nearest  and  it  will  take  pretty  clever  three- 
year-olds  to  beat  them  this  season  as  they  have  worked 
better  than  2:30  and  have  shown  quarters  at  a  2:06 
gait. 

Willard  Zibble  has  ten  trotters  in  his  care  and  all  of 
them  are  green  with  the  exception  of  the  Sable  Wilkes 
gelding  Walter  Wilkes  2:15}  whose  best  work  so  far 
has  been  a  mile  in  2:29.  The  McKinney  gelding  Adam 
G.  out  of  Nona  Y.  2:25,  dam  of  Nane-s  O'Neil  2:09J 
and  Charles  David  2:15  has  trotted  a  mile  in  2:17,  with 
a  quarter  in  32  seconds  and  is  considered  one  of  the 
most  likely  green  ones  at  the  track.  Dewdrop  by 
Richard's  Elector  out  of  a  thoroughbred  rnire  has 
worked  in  2:17  with  a  quarter  in  33  seconds  and  the 
b!g  bay  gelding  Modoc  by  Daly  has  been  a  milein  2:18. 
The  three  year-old  filly  Lilly  Dillon  by  Sidney  Dillon 
out  of  Lilly  Stanley  2:11}  (dam  of  Rokeby  2:13},  Rect 
2:16}  and  On  Stanley  2:17})  by  Whippleton  has  trotted 
an  easy  milein  2:35  and  acts  like  she  will  develop  into 
a  high  class  mare. 

Jack  Groom  has  a  very  promising  green  pacer  in 
the  brown  gelding  Jim  Chase  by  Secretary  atd  he 
expects  this  fellow  to  develop  into  a  money  winner. 
He  has  worked  in  2:15  with  a  quarter  in  31  seconds 
pretty  handily  and  looks  like  a  2:10  horse.  Liege  2:12} 
was  trotted  a  mile  in  2:24  with  a  half  in  1:05,  quarter 
in  30}  seconds  and  the  green  mare  Lottie  by  Seymour 
Wilkes  has  worked  in  2:27. 

The  Direct  gelding  Birdcatcher  is  working  satis- 
factorily for  S.  Siljan  and  the  other  morning  trotted 
a  mile  in  2:15  with  a  half  in  1:06.  Mr.  Siljan  isenterlng 
Birdcatcher  extensively  and  he  should  earn  his  oats 
this  summer. 

The  De  la  Montanya  string  in  the  bands  of  Jack 
Curry  are  working  well  with  the  exception  of  the 
green  mare  Brilliant  Girl  by  James  Madison  and  she 
has  proven  a  kind  of  a  puzzle.  Some  days  she  will 
take  her  work  in  good  shape  and  apparently  is  sound 
but  at  other  times  she  seems  lame  and  sore  and  very 
little  has  been  done  with  her.  It  is  thought  that  she 
is  troubled  with  rheumatism  and  it  is  hoped  that  this 
will  leave  her  when  the'weather  gets  warmer.     Tuna 


2:08}  looks  big  and  strong  and  has  all  her  speed  with 
her  this  spring.  She  worked  in  2:20  with  a  quarter 
in  0:32}  for  Gil  Curry  yesterday  morning  which  is  her 
best  mile  this  spring.  The  Charles  Derby  gelding 
Bain  has  been  shifted  to  the  pace  this  year  and  will 
be  raced  some  if  rfe  trains  up  to  expectations.  The 
two  recent  additions  to  the  string,  Carakina  by  Mc- 
Kinney, dam  by  Director,  and  Ruskin  by  McKinney, 
dam  by  Bay  Rose,  that  were  purchased  for  Eastern 
parties  have  been  working  well  but  have  not  been 
askecT  to  step  along  much  yet. 

W.  H.  Williams  is  going  along  easily  with  his  horBes 
but  has  one  in  his  string  that  is  showing  up  remarka- 
bly well.  This  is  a  three-year-old  colt  by  Monterey 
2:09}  out  of  the  thoroughbred  mare  Miss  Gussie, 
owned  by  Dr.  Perrine  of  San  Jose.  He  has  not  been 
asked  to  trot  better  than  2:30  but  has  shown  parts  of 
the  road  at  a  very  fast  clip  and  is  expected  to  giye  a 
good  account  of  himself  in  the  stakes  this  fall. 

Jack  Phippen's  horses  are  working^  in  good  shape, 
but  have  not  been  given  any  stiff  work  yet.  Auget 
Baron  by  Baron  Wilkes  out  of  Lady  Wilton,  dam  of 
Lady  Thisbe  2:11},  has  trotted  a  mile  in  2:18},  and 
Milbrae2:16}  has  worked  close  to  2:20,  which  is  about 
the  fastest  of  the  string. 

One  of  the  best  thought  of  green  trotters  at  the 
track  is  the  six-year  old  chestnut  gelding  Billy  Mur- 
ray by  Diablo  2:09},  dam  by  Mi  mo,  in  the  stable  of 
J.  W.  Gordon.  He  has  shown  as  much  speed  as  any- 
thing in  the  green  division  in  training,  and  they  say 
he  will  trot  in  2:12  before  fall.  McMAHAN. 


Fast  Miles  at  Memphis. 


Memphis,  May  19— Three  of  the  fastest  miles  of  the 
season  were  recorded  here  today  when  Geers  let  out  a 
few  links  with  George  G  2:06},  Baron  Grattan  2:04} 
and  the  green  pacer  Walter  Direct.  Geers  set  out  to 
work  the  Direct  borse  three  heats  accompanied  by 
Baron  Grattan,  driven  by  Arthur  Mpprehead.  While 
they  were  unhooking  Walter  Direct  after  a  mile  in 
2:14  he  made  a  vicious  charge  on  another  horse  stand- 
ing in  the  gangway  and  there  was  some  lively 
scrambling  of  men  and  horses  for  a  few  seconds  but 
no  real  harm  was  done  and  as  he  left  the  barn  the 
second  time  Geers  remarked:  "I'll  stra'ghten  that 
rascal's  neck  and  take  a  little  of  the  surplus  steam 
out  of  him  next  heat. 'J  With  Baron  Grattan  on  his 
wheel  for  a  prompter,  he  then  drove  him  a  mile  in 
2:07}.  The  first  quarter  was  in  :34J,  half  in  1:05}  and 
three-quarters  in  1:37,  making  the  last  three-quarters 
in  1:33,  last  half  in  1:02  and  la6t  quarter  in  :30}>-  He 
seemed  to  do  it  easily,  did  not  draw  a  long  breath 
after  it,  and  was  so  hungry  at  supper-time  he  tried  to 
tear  his  stall  down. 

George  G.  was  worked  a  mile  by  Geers  in  2:08},  last 
half  in  1:02}.  A  beat  or  two  like  that  once  a  week 
don't  seem  to  wo-ry  him  a  particle. 


Opening  Day  at  San  Jose  Track. 

The  new  management  of  Agricultural  Park,  San 
Jose,  is  arranging  for  a  grand  opening  on  Saturday 
next.  The  Gentleman's  Driving  Club,  which  was 
o.'ganizsd  this  week,  will  give  its  first  meet  on  that 
day,  and  between  the  races,  all  the  best  horses  now  in 
training  at  the  track,  will  be  exhibited.  Among  the 
horses  to  be  shown  will  be  Kinney  -Lou  2:07},  Alone 
2:09},  Tuna  2:08},  Dr.  Hammond  2:12},  Rajah  2:10, 
and  the  two  fleetthree-jear-olds  High  Fly  and  Just  It. 
Mr.  Barstow  will  drive  these  youngsters  to  beat  2:15. 
Such  noted  drivers  as  Mr.  Budd  Doble,  Jack  Curry, 
John  Gordon,  Jack  Phippen,  T.  W.  Barstow,  Willard 
Zibbell,  H.  R.  Ward,  C.  C.  Crippen,  John  Groom,  P. 
W.  Hodges,  W.  H.  Williams,  Mr.  Siljan  and  W.  Cecil 
will  be  seen  in  thesulky  during  the  day.  Everythingls 
progressing  very  nicely  at  the  park  and  the  work  of 
reconstruction  is  going  ahead  rapidly.  All  lovers  of 
the  sport  of  harness  racing  should  visit  San  Jose  next 
Saturday  as  there  will  be  much  to  see  that  will  both 
interest  and  amuse  those  who  are  at  the  track  that 
day.

JOTTINGS. 


AVERAGE  of  over  ten  entries  to  each  race  bas 
n  received  by  tbe  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse 
■  luly  meeting,  and  a  glance  over  the 
.•h  is  printed  in  full  in  another  part  of  this 
paper  will  convince  anyone  that  a  week  of  first  clas3 
racing  will  result.  The  most  popular  classes  with 
horsemen  were  the  2:24  pace  which  received  IS  entries, 
.  t  inn,  with  17,  and  the2:27  pace  and  2:45  trot 
which  received  16  entries.  The  purse  for  two-year-old 
trotters  drew  but  three  entries,  but  the  two-year-old 
pice  has  twice  that  number.  The  three-year-old  trot 
and  three-year-old  pace,  which  are  for  colts  and  fillies 
without  records  drew  7  and  9  entries  respectively  Two 
■  tests  should  result  in  the  fastest  classes  given, 
tht- 2:119  pace  and  2:11  trot.  In  the  first  named  the 
entritsare  Jonesa  Basler  2:11},  Le  Roi  2:101,  Zolock 
2:09}.  Kelly  Briggs  2:09},  Ira  2:10*,  Alone  2:09}  and 
Djedalion  2:10,  seven  pacers  that  are  about  as  equally 
matched  as  any  seven  horses  caD  be.  They  have 
nearly  all  met  before,  and  it  has  been  a  horse  race 
ever;  time  any  of  them  have  come  together.  The 
horse  that  wins  this  race  at  Los  Angeles,  July  3d,  will 
probably  be  out  of  the  2:09  class  when  the  day  is  over. 
The  2:11  trot  is  also  a  "hot  bunch."  Ama  A.  2:16} 
trotting  and  2:13}  pacing,  is  back  at  the  diagonal  gait. 
She  was  pacing  last  year  and  forced  Edwin  S.  to  his 
mark  of  2:0S  at  San  Jose  Rozelle  2:14  the  gray  geld- 
ing known  in  Los  Angeles  as  "the  pink  horse"  is  in 
this  race  and  as  he  worked  a  mile  in  2:10J  a  few  weeks 
ago,  he  will  have  to  be  reckoned  with.  Capt.  J.  H. 
Bennetts  bay  gelding  Dr.  Hammond  2:12},  that  is 
working  like  a  coming  2:10  performer,  Frank  Wright's 
H  D.  B.  2:13,  a  horse  that  can  beat  his  record,  Robi- 
zola  2:12}  the  mare  that  Millard  Sanders  drove  a 
trial  better  than  2:10,  Lady  Madison  2:13J  a  mare  that 
will  trot  very  close  to  that  mark,  Ole  2:11  the  Silas 
Skinner  gelding  that  is  generally  in  the  money  in  any 
class  he  starts  in,  his  last  year's  antagonist  Briney  K. 
2:11,  and  the  stallion  Petigru  2:101,  make  up  the  list. 
The  last  named  is  one  of  the  grandest  looking  horses 
in  California  and  has  not  been  raced  for  three  years 
but  will  lower  his  mark  if  he  gets  in  Bhape  to  start. 
This  race  should  draw  a  big  attendance,  as  trotters 
that  can  race  around  2:10  are  an  attraction  that  the 
Los  Angeles  people  will  not  miss.  Take  it  all  in  all, 
tbe  six  days  program  which  the  Los  Angeles  associa- 
tion has  filled  is  one  of  the  best  that  has  been  seen  on 
this  Coast  for  some  time. 


a  horseman  who  saw  her  "she  was  hell."  She  did 
not  seem  to  be  afraid  of  anything,  but  would  neither 
walk,  trot  or  canter  with  any  regularity.  At  times 
she  would  lunge  forward  suddenly  as  if  she  wanted 
to  run  away  and  it  is  doubtful  if  any  man  but  Budd 
Doble  would  have  exercised  the  extreme  patience  with 
her  which  he  displayed.  But  Doble  can  wait  as  long 
as  anyone  and  gradually  the  mare  began  to  learn  and 
like  his  ways  with  her,  and  her  nerves  bothered  her 
less,  until  now  she  will  jog  on  the  track  or  on  the  road 
in  a  most  decorous  and  respectable  manner.  During 
all  the  time  she  has  been  in  California  she  has  taken 
on  flesh.  At  first  she  got  from  twelve  to  twenty  miles 
of  road  jugging  daily,  nearly  always  along  a  different 
route  than  the  previous  one,  and  she  seemed  to  enjoy 
the  work.  She  will  weigh  very  close  to  nine  hundred 
pounds  when  she  reaches  Cleveland.  Her  races  with 
Major  Delmar,  which  it  is  said  Mr.  Billings  has 
arranged,  should  furnish  contests  that  will  be  of  ex- 
ceeding interest.  That  she  can  beat  the  Major  when 
both  are  at  their  best  there  is  little  doubt,  and  if  they 
ever  meet  in  that  shape  there  should  be  a  race  record 
of  very  close  to  two  minutes  for  her. 


Miss  Lou  Dillon,  the  champion  trotter  of  the  world, 
will  return  to  her  home  in  Cleveland  next  week,  her 
private  car  probably  leaving  San  Jose  on  Wednesday. 
She  has  been  taking  a  post  graduate  course  in  man- 
ners at  Prof.  Doble 's  speed  college  during  the  winter, 
and  while  she  waB  not  inclined  to  real  good  behavior 
when  she  first  entered  upon  it,  she  leaves  her  native 
State  with  a  report  card  which  shows  her  deportment 
to  have  been  excellent  during  the  latter  end  of  the 
term,  and  that  she  is  worthy  of  being  presented  with 
one  of  those  pretty  china  cups  on  which  is  the  label  in 
gilt  letters,  "For  a  Good  Girl."  The  first  question 
one  is  asked  on  a  return  from  a  visit  to  San  Jose  track 
is,  "Do  you  think  Lou  Dillon  will  be  able  to  lower  her 
record  this  year?"  When  the  question  is  put  direct 
to  one,  the  first  Inclination  is  to  side  step  and  make  a 
lot  of  provisos  before  answering.  To  be  perfectly 
candid,  I  do  not  expect  the  daughter  of  Sidney  Dillon 
to  beat  1:5"*,  but  I  do  believe  she  will  be  able  to  pull  a 
sulky  a  mile  in  two  mioutes  without  the  aid  of  a  wind 
shield  and  that  will  be  asking  enough  of  her.  There 
lt>  a  limit  to  the  endurance  of  every  animal  and  every 
machine.  Every  swift  passenger  engine  makes  its 
record  run,  and  is  unable  to  quite  equal  it  thereafter. 
If  Lou  Dillon  had  not  been  so  many  record  breaking 
miles  during  the  past  two  years,  I  might  have  faith  in 
her  trotting  a  mile  thU  season  In  1:57,  which  many 
well  posted  and  reasonable  horsemen  believe  she  will 
do,  but  when  I  think  of  the  tremendous  demands  on 
her  powers  that  have  already  been  made  and  to  which 
she  bas  responded  with  all  the  energy  and  vim  and 
nervous  force  thai  alu- could  display,  1  am  unable  to 
figure  ho»  she  can  have  any  further  resources  to 
draw   on.     I  ie  could  have  drawn  a  sulky  in 

two  minutes  without  a  wind  shield  in  front  on  more 
than  one  occasion  and  probably  have  beaten  that 
time  a  second,  but  that  she  should  be  expected  to  trot 
a  mile  better  than  l:f>8J  seems  la  one  to  bo  asking  too 
much  of  the  gamest  and  greatest  llttlo  trotter  that 
evor  set  foot  on  a  track.  Lou  Dillon  Is  the  queen  and 
will  reign  for  many  a  day,  but  I  believe  Bho  bas 
"touched  the  highest  point  In  all  her  greatnesB." 


bred  horses,  whether  he  breeds  one  mare  a  year  or  a 
hundred,  who  does  not  possess  a  copy  of  this  work,  is 
cheating  himself.  There  is  more  to  be  learned  in  the 
study  of  its  pages  than  in  any  work  of  it6  descript:on 
that  has  been  published  in  this  country.  The  last 
time  I  saw  Capt.  Merry,  which  was  about  a  year  ago, 
he  looked  as  rugged  and  as  clear  complexioned  as  a 
farmer's  boy,  and  he  is  a  living  witness  to  the  falsity 
of  the  Osier  theory  that  men  of  sixty  are  beyond  the 
age  of  usefulness.  I  don't  know  just  how  old  the 
Captain  is,  but  I  have  passed  the  half  century  mark 
and  he  was  judging  races  and  running  steamboats  in 
California  before  I  first  saw  the  light  of  day  near 
old  Sutter's  Fort  in  Sacramento  county.  Captain, 
"here's  to  your  helt'  und  your  family's  helt',  und  may 
you  lif *  long  und  prosper."  H. 


Two  fillies  bred  in  California  are  eligible  to  start  in 
the  famous  Kentucky  $20,000  Futurity  in  September 
this  year.  Both  were  bred  and  are  owned  by  Mr.  W. 
H.  Lumsden  of  Santa  Rosa  and  are  by  Bonnie  Direct 
2:05},  a  stallion  whose  stud  duties  have  been  limited 
and  the  eldest  of  whose  get  are  three  years  old.  Mr. 
Lumsden  bred  two  mares  to  Bonnie  Direct  in  1902 — 
Myrtle  2:13}  by  Anteeo,  out  of  Luella  by  Nutwood, 
and  Roblet  2:12  by  Robin,  out  of  Eveline  by  Nutwood. 
Myrtle  was  bred  by  the  late  I.  DeTurk  and  was  a 
great  three-year-old  herself,  winning  the  Occident 
Stake  of  1891  in  straight  heats  from  the  heavily  backed 
favorite  Vid a  Wilkes  and  taking  a  record  of  2:19}. 
She  started  four  times  as  a  four-year-old  but  failed  to 
win  a  heat,  and  was  then  off  the  turf  until  1S99,  when 
she  was  brought  out  and  reduced  her  record  to  2:13} 
in  the  only  race  in  which  she  started.  She  is  the  dam 
of  Robizola  2:12}  that  took  her  record  at  Columbus, 
Ohio,  in  1903,  and  will  be  raced  in  California  this  year. 
Myrtle's  filly  by  Bonnie  Direct  is  called  Bonnie  Mac 
and  will  start  in  the  trotting  division  of  the  Futurity. 
She  is  a  speed  marvel  and  during  the  first  week  in 
April  this  year  trotted  a  mile  out  in  2:22}  with  the 
last  half  in  1:05}  and  the  laBt  quarter  in  32}  seconds. 
Bonalet  is  the  name  given  Roblet's  filly  and  as  she  is 
a  pacer  will  startin  thepacing  division  of  the  Futurity. 
Roblet  2:12  was  by  Robin  a  grandson  of  Director  2:17, 
so  Bonalet  has  two  cresses  to  that  famous  race  horse. 
Mr.  Lumsden  has  decided  to  place  these  fillies  in 
charge  of  the  well  known  reinsman  Ed  Benyon  of 
Lexington,  who  received  them  two  weeks  ago,  and 
who  will  train  and  drive  them  in  the  races  in  which 
they  start  this  year.  They  are  the  only  California 
bred  youngsters  eligible  to  this  year's  Futurity  and 
we  sincerely  hope  they  may  meet  with  no  accidents  or 
other  obstacles  to  starting  in  their  best  form.  If  they 
start,  some  of  the  money  will  be  drawn  down  by  Mr. 
Lumsden,  a  gentleman  whose  breeding  ventures, 
while  not  conducted  on  a  large  scale  have  always  been 
on  the  plan  that  it  pays  to  breed  to  the  best.  May 
success  be  his.  

The  fact  that  the  grandams  of  both  these  fillies  are 
great  broodmares  by  Nutwood  600  brings  to  mind  the 
wonderful  prepotency  of  that  horse  as  a  sire  of  dams. 
His  sojourn  was  not  long  in  California  yet  he  left 
thirteen  or  fourteen  daughters  here  that  are  now 
members  of  the  Table  of  Great  Broodmares,  and  the 
list  of  those  that  have  produced  one  standard  per- 
former is  quite  long.  Nearly  all  the  daughters  of 
Nutwood  remaining  in  this  State  are  getting  along  in 
yearB,  but  they  retain  their  vigor  and  usefulness  to 
the  last,  and  age  6ets  lightly  upon  their  shoulders. 
Luella  is  twenty-four  years  old  but  produced  a  fine 
foal  this  year.  It  is  a  trait  of  nearly  all  great  speed 
producing  families  that  the  daughters  especially  are 
long  lived  and  produce  foals  at  an  advanced  age. 


The  improvements  that  Mr.  Doble  has  made  in  her 
manners  are  very  noticeable.  When  he  began  jogging

Thursday  morning's  papers  brought  the  news  that 
the  English  Derby,  the  blue  ribbon  event  of  the  turf 
world,  was  won  by  Cicero  with  Jardy  second,  just  as 
Capt.  Tom  Morry  (Hidalgo)  prophesied  in  last  week's 
issue  of  this  paper.  Capt.  Tom  is  the  best  posted  man 
in  America  today  on  the  thoroughbred  horse,  as  his 
knowledge  Is  not  confined  to  those  bred  in  America  or 
England,  but  takes  in  the  whole  world,  He  has  visited 
the  greatest  breeding  farms  and  race  courses  in 
America,  Australasia,  England,  France  and  Germany 
andean  tell  you  off  band  the  breeding  of  every  sire 
or  broodmare  of  any  prominence  In  any  of  those 
countries.  His  article  in  which  he  selected  Cicero  to 
win  gave  reasons  for  his  opinion  and  the  result  shows 
they  were  sound.  Capt.  Merry  has  recently  published 
a  work  entitled  "The  American  Thoroughbred,"  to 
he  devoted  several  years  of  hard  work.  It  is 
by  far  tho  best  thing  of  tbe  kind  that  has  emanated 
from  the  press  In  years,  and  the  breeder  of  thorough- 


Races  at  Ingleside. 

A  crowd  of  nearly  two  thousand  people  visited 
Ingleside  race  track  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  May  30lh, 
to  see  the  program  of  races  advertised  by  the  San 
Francisco  Driving  Club.  There  were  five  harness 
events  and  three  running  races  on  the  eard,  which 
were  not  finished  until  seven  o'clock.  There  was  little 
class  to  any  of  the  events,  and  tbe  track  was  in  very 
poor  shape  For  the  space  of  about  three  sulky 
widths  next  the  pole,  the  grass  had  been  cut,  but  tbe 
footing  was  very  poor  for  pacers  as  the  sand  was  loose 
and  about  two  inches  deep  on  the  surface.  Nearly  all 
the  starters  in  the  harness  races  were  pacers.  The 
best  horse  of  the  day  in  any  of  these  events  was  the 
pacer  King  V.  by  Steinway,  winner  (pulled  up  in  both 
heats)  of  the  free-for-all.  His  two  heats  were  in  2:21} 
and  2:22  but  the  "official"  time  given  out  was  2:24} 
and  2:24J  Three  books  were  doing  business  and  were 
fairly  well  patronized. 

In  the  race  to  determine  who  could  drive  inthetime 
nearest  to  3:15,  H.  Simi  won  the  first  heat  in  3:17 
with  San  Pietro,  and  L.  Marish  the  second  with 
Brandy  in  3:17.  The  results  of  the  other  harness  races 
as  announced  by  the  judges  and  timers  wereasfollows:

Niagara  and  the  Stark  Mare. 

Melrose,  May  29,  1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — Dear  Sir:  In 
the  last  number  of  the  BREEDER  AND  SPORTSMAN  I 
read  an  article  from  Mr.  Samuel  Gamble  relating  to 
the  stallion  Niagara.  I  think  perhapB  I  can  give  you 
some  information  in  regard  to  it.  In  the  year  1863  I 
waB  connected  with  the  late  Roe  Allen  in  the  livery 
stable  on  the  corner  of  Market  and  Annie  streets  in 
San  Francisco,  and  during  that  year  Hiram  Tracy 
brought  a  brown  stallion  from  Stockton,  owned  by 
Mr.  Henry  Tremble,  and  stabled  with  us  by  the  name 
of  Washtenaw  Chief  sired  by  Mambrino.  He  was  sold 
to  John  Daniels  who  purchased  him  for  the  late  Alex 
Gamble  of  Woodside,  now  Menlo  Park,  at  th.e  reputed 
price  of  $5000. 

The  Stark  mare  was  purchased  by  William  Stark 
out  of  a  four  horse  team  at  San  Jose,  and  trained  by 
him  and  thought  to  be  a  world-beater.  At  one  time 
Bhe  was  hypothecated  to  the  late  Smith  Brown  of 
Napa  but  was  afterwards  redeemed  by  Stark  who 
took  her  East  and  sold  her  to  a  Mr.  Hoag  of  Glenn 
Falls,  N.  Y.  Geo.  Bement. 

Davisville  Has  a  Driving  Club. 

The  contractor  who  is  grading  the  new  track  at 
Olive  Park,  Davisville,  will  finish  the  work  this  week, 
and  horses  will  soon  be  racing  over  it.  Last  week  a 
Driving  Club  was  organized, to  talk  over  the  manage- 
ment of  the  new  grounds,  Mr.  I.  B.  HugheB,  the 
lessee  of  the  property  and  builder  of  the  track,  agree- 
ing to  sublease  it  to  the  club  for  a  term  of  five  years- 
A  oommittee  consisting  of  Fred  P.  Smith,  Sam  Mont- 
gomery, Del  Grieve,  I.  B.  Hughes  and  J.  A.  Harby 
were  appointed  to  draft  rules  and  regulations  for  the 
government  of  the  club.

in  the  world  with  the  exception  of  Dan  Patch  and  has 
been  making  an  effort  to  match  him  with  some  of  the 
good  sidewbeelers  over  East.     Dan   R.  i- 
working  better  than  ever  this  epriu:/ 
fastest  mile  at  Memphis  is  2:17.

string,  has  been  shifted  to  the  pace  and  is  being 
entered  in  races  on  the  California  circuit. 


The  latest  and  best  thing  for  the  hoof  of  the  horse 
is  the  I  X.  L.  Hoof  Moisture  Pad.  It  makes  good 
feet  of  bad  ones.  Read  about  it  in  our  advertising 
columns. 

The  stallion  season  generally  clotes  June  1st  in 
California  but  so  many  mares  dropped  late  foals  this 
year  that  a  large  number  of  stallions  will  remain  in 
the  stud  until  July  1st. 


Grey  Gem  2:09}  and  trainer  Billy  McDonald  are 
back  io  harness  again  after  being  under  the  ban  for  a 
year.  Grey  Gem  has  worked  in  2:20  at  Louisville  and

Geo.  E,  Lattimer,  of  Buffalo,  will  send  Topsy  2:09} 
and  a  younster  by  Zombro  2:11  to  Melville  Allen  to

Joe  Cuicello  is  located  at  Santa  Rosa  track  with  his 
string  of  horses.  The  Zombro  mare  Mabel  W.,  which 
he  recently  purchased  in  Los  Angeles,  is  much  liked 
by  the  Santa  Rosa  horsemen  who  have  seen  her  at 
work.  

P..W.  Hodges  has  taken  hishorses  to  San  Jose  and 
will  go  East  by  way  of  Los  Angeles  where  he  has 
entered  Lady  Zombro  in  the  $1000  2:17  trot.  From

to  Detroit.  

The  Lob  Angeles  Harness  Horso  Association  will 
retain  all  privileges  at  its  meeting.  The  auction  and 
mutual  pools  will  be  under  the  direct  management  of 
the  association's  officials,  and  Ed  R.  Smith  will  act  as 
auctioneer. 

F.  J.  Cochran,  the  scientific  borseshoer  of  San 
Mateo,  who  has  shod  ten  horses  that  have  taken 
records  better  than  2:10  with  his  6hoes  on,  went  down

erton 2:04}  bavo  been  matched  for  a  race  during  the 
Grand  Circuit  meeting  at  Detroit.  This  will  undoubt- 
edly be  tbo  star  feature  of  the  meeting  and  should 
prove  a  groat  race. 

From  the  speed  and  endurance  shown  by  road 
horeos,  short  of  training,  in  the  matinee  races,  the 
opinion  :,' quite  prevalent  that  many  trainers 

havu  their  horBus  long  on  work  Instead  of  short  when 
they  go  to  tho  races. 

y   high   regard   for  the 
Axworthy  i;.'  ;  Axworthy   2:08j   and    thinks 

he  has  a  chance,  with  the  best  trotters  that  will  be  out 
this  year.     HIb  best  work  at  M  this  year  Is  a 

mile  In  2:141  wilh  a  ij"  '    seconds.

The  Los  Angeles  entries  average  about  eleven  to 
each  race,  which  is  a  good  showing  for  a  six  days 
meeting  with  a  total  of  eighteen  races.  The  Breeders 
August  meeting  r.  ceived  an  average  of  about  fourteen 
to  each  race  exclusive  of  colt  stakes. 


Maid  of  Del  Norte,  a  filly  owned  by  Mr.C.  A.  Harri-

M.  D.  'Wisdom,  editor  of  the  Nortk  Pr/cific  Rural 
Spirit,  devotes  several  pages  of  the  last  issue  of  his 
journal  to  California  horse  and  cattle  news.  Mr. 
Wisdom  is  Superintendent  of  the  Live  Stock  Exhibit 
ol  the  Lewis  &  Clark  Cectennial  Exposition,  and  has 
secured  the  promise  of  many  exhibits  from  California 
breeders  during  his  vi6it  to  this  State. 


Shorthorns  are  the  most  popular  cattle  and  have 
been  for  many  years.  They  are  the  cattle  for  profit. 
Registered  cattle  of  beef  or  milking  families  are  for 
sale  by  the  Howard  Cattle  Company,  206  Sansome 
street,  this  city.  Write  to  them  about  what  you 
want.  Their  cattle  have  taken  77  premiums  at  the 
California  State  Fairs  during  the  past  three  years. 


The  failure  of  the  Oregon  State  Fair  to  bold  a 
meeting  this  year  has  caused  several  California 
trainers  who  contemplated  making  the  northern  trip 
to  reconsider.  The  circuit  up  there  does  not  look 
very  good  with  the  Oregon  fair  off  the  map.  Some 
day  a  Pacific  Coast  circuit  will  be  organized  that  will 
extend  from  Los  Angeles  to  Seattle,  and  it  will  be  a 
winner. 

In  answer  to  a  phone  from  this  office  Mr.  Alex 
Brown,  proprietor  of  the  Woodland  Stock  Farm,  says 
alfirst  class  meeting  will  be  given  at  Woodland  prior 
to  the  State  Fair,  and  the  program  will  be  announced 
very  soon.  If  there  are  meetings  at  Woodland,  Santa 
Rosa  and  San  Jose,  the  California  circuit  will  not  be 
less  than  six  weeks,  with  good  purses  at  each  and 
every  meeting.  

One  or  two  race  wagons  made  their  appearance  at 
the  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club's  last  meeting.  Sulkies 
have  heretofore  been  used  by  members  of  this  ex- 
cellent organization,  but  a  club  of  its  standing  should 
require  that  four  wheeled  vehicles  be  used  in  all 
matinee  racing.  The  Eastern  clubs  require  them  and 
it  should  be  the  custom  at  Los  Angeles  which  has  the 
only  strictly  amateur  racing  on  this  Coast. 

Zambra  2:16},  holder  of  the  world's  five  mile  trot- 
ting record,  is  to  be  raced  again  this  year.  Zambra 
is  owned  by  Mr.  A.  Ottinger  of  this  city  and  is  being 
trained  by  H.  R.  Ward  at  San  Jose.  Mr.  Ward  has 
the  gelding  in  fine  condition  and  with  the  pacer 
Daedalion  2:10,  also  owned  by  Mr.  Ottinger,  he  will 
get  a  piece  of  the  money  hung  up  at  the  different 
meetings.  They  will  both  start  at  Los  Angeles  bar- 
ring accidents.  

Walter  Cox  and  Jack  Kinney,  training  at  Boston, 
have  matched  a  couple  of  young  trotters  in  a  very 
novel  fashion.  Every  Monday  morning  each  trainer 
puts  up  $10,  this  to  continue  until  one  of  them  quits 
and  then  the  race  will  be  trotted  at  once.  Cox  is 
backinga  two-year  old  by  Axworthy  2:151  and  Kinrey 
is  pinning  his  faith  to  a  youngster  by  Belsire.  The 
winner  of  the  pot  won't  have  to  eat  snowballs  next 
winter  if  they  keep  "edging  up"  until  about  October. 


The  fastest  full  mile  trotted  at  Lexington  so  far  is 
credited  to  the  stable  of  Mike  Bowerman,  and  was 
scored  in  2:17}  by  the  three-year-old  brown  colt  by 
Adbell  2:23,  dam  Sierra  Madre  by  Baron  Wilkes  2:18. 
This  colt,  it  Is  said,  is  a  Kentucky  Futurity  candidate, 
and  Is  owned  by  John  E.  Madden.  Wakonda  2:25  by 
John  B.  Carlisle,  in  George  Hay's  stable,  claims 
"second  call"  for  the  beBtmile  worked  so  far,  he  hav- 
ing trotted  a  mile  in  2:21}  with  the  last  quarter  In  33 
seconds. 

RltaH.  2:11}  pacing  and  2:14}  trotting,  is  being 
entered  in  the  pBClng  events  this  year,  and  will  race 
through  the  California  circuit.  She  was  6old  three 
years  ago  to  Mr.  Byron  Erkenbecher  of  Los  Angeles, 
by  Sam  Hoy  of  Winters,  who  bred  her.  Mr.  Erken- 
brecher  turned  her  over  to  Will  Durfee  who  gave  her 
a  mark  of  2:11}.  won  several  thousand  dollars  with 
her  as  a  pacer  In  1903  and  then  Bwitcbed  her  to  the 
diagonal  gait  In  1904,  winning  nearly  as  much  with 
heras  the  previou9  year  and  giving  her  a  trotting 
record  or  2:14).  As  the  mare's  natural  gait  seems  to 
bo  the  pace  she  has  been  re-converted  this  season  and 
will  be  Been  In  the  fast  classes  all  through  the  circuit. 


J.  W.  Miller  of  Colorado  Springs,  Colo.,  has  a  very 
promising  trotter  in  Queer  Knight  2:14}.  This  horse 
was  raced  through  the  Great  Western  Ciicuit  last 
year.  He  is  considered  one  of  the  most  premising 
trotters  in  the  West  and  horsemen  of  note  credit  him 
with  the  possession  of  sufficient  speed  to  make  a  record 
of  2:04  or  better  this  season.  Queer  Knight  will  pull 
a  Toomey  low  seat  sulky  in  bis  races  tbis  year,  which 
has  been  built  especially  for  bim  by  S.  Tocmey  &  Co;, 
Canal  Dover,  Qhio.      

A  Contra  Costa  county  paper  prints  the  following 
unique  advertisement:  "For  sale,  a  long  distance

Emaline,  although  21  years  old  is  as  active  and  healthy 
as  she  was  at  five  and  has  quite  a  reputation  as  a 
broodmare.  She  is  the  dam  of  a  colt  by  Zolock  that 
was  sold  for  $1950  at  eighteen  months,  and  a  tbree-

half  dozen  horses,  some  owned  by  himself  and  some 
by  other  parties.  He  is  developing  them  on  the  park

Some  of  the  Hindrances  of  Progress. 

There  have  been  several  causes  at  work  during  the 
pi9t  few  years  which  undoubtedly  have  had  a tendency 
to  retard  progress  In  the  improvement  of  trotting 
speed.  The  chief  of  these  was  an  erroneous  theory 
conceived  some  30  years  ago  by  the  late  John  H. 
Wallace,  one  of  the  most  able  and  forcible  of  the  many 
who  have  ever  written  upon  the  subject  of  breeding 
trotters.  This  theory  is  that  all  thoroughbred  crosses 
are  detrimental  to  trotting  speed.  When  Mr.  Wallace 
published  the  second  volume  of  his  Trotting  Register 
in  1874,  he  made  the  following  statement  on  page  88 
concerning  a  thoroughbred  cross. 

"Many  trotters,  especially  of  Canadian  and  pacing 
origin  have  a  great  turn  of  speed  but  lack  either  the 
courage  or  conformation  to  keep  it  up.  This  must  be 
corrected  by  a  more  or  le6s  correct  cross  from  a 
thoroughbred  that  is  dead  game  and  least  likely  to 
neutralize  the  trotting  instinct." 

As  early  as  February  1879  Mr.  Wallace  announced 
that  the  thoroughbred  could  not  Impart  to  the  trotter 
any  element  that  ivould  add  to  the  speed,  endurance 
or  other  racing-winning  qualities  of  the  trotter.  He 
soon  went  a  step  farther  and  ridiculed  the  idea  of 
trying  to  improve  the  speed  ability  of  a  trotter  by 
introducing  the  cross  of  an  animal  that  was  not  bred 
to  trot  and  can't  trot  fast.  This  seemed  so  plausible 
to  the  average  of  thinkers  who  seldom  go  below  the 
surface  and  from  effect  try  to  reason  hack  to  actual 
cause,  that  the  author  of  this  theory  soon  had  a  large 
following  and  a  majority  of  the  writers  for  turf  papers 
favored  the  theory.  Breeders  of  trotting  stock  saw 
that  a  theory  which  was  so  universally  advocated 
must  become  popular  and  as  they  were  breeding  to 
sell,  rather  than  to  improve  the  speed  ability  of  their 
animals,  the  majority  ot  them  followed  Mr.  Wallace's 
theory  of  breeding. 

When  this  theory  of  a  thoroughbred  cross  being 
detrimental  to  trotting  speed  was  conceived,  the 
world's  champion  trotter  was  Rarus  2:13J  Jay-Eye- 
See  soon  reduced  it  to  2:10  and  then  came  Maud  S. 
that  first  placed  it  at  2:09|  and  finally  lelt  it  at  2:08$. 
Both  were  from  mares  whose  dams  were  strictly 
thoroughbred,  hut  the  majority  of  breeders  had  so 
much  confidence  in  Mr.  Wallace's  plausible  theory 
that  they  paid  little  attention  to  the  fact  that  the 
thoroughbred  cross  was  so  close  in  their  dams,  or 
perhaps  believed  that  had  these  near  thoroughbred 
crosses  been  trotting  crosses  these  world-record 
breakers  would  have  taken  even  faster  records  than 
they  did  make. 

We  believe  that  the  above  theory  and  the  extent  to 
which  it  has  prevailed  has  been  the  greatest  of  all  the 
hindrances  to  progress  in  trotting  speed.  Another 
cause  which  has  undoubtedly  had  considerable  in- 
fluence in  retarding  progress  is  the  effort  which  many 
breeders  have  made  to  produce  stock  eligible  to 
registry  in  the  standard  department  of  the  American 
Trotting  Register.  In  their  anxiety  to  breed  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  stand  ard  rules  many  have  neglected 
such  important  qualities  as  good  conformation,  fine 
style,  high  finish,  pleasant  dispositions,  a  clean, 
friclionless  gait,  soundness  and  others  that  give  value 
to  horses. 

Furthermore,  the  present  standard  rules  of  the 
American  Trotting  Association  as  has  heretofore  been 
pointed  o.ut,  discourage  breeding  in  those  lines  wbich 
In  the  past  have  produced  most  of  the  famous  world's 
record  breakers,  or  the  sires  or  dams  of  such,  the 
majority  of  which  have  shown  a  near  thoroughbred 
cross  in  their  pedigrees.  Opinions  differ  in  regard  to 
the  influence  of  a  near  thoroughbred  cross,  but  it  is 
found  in  the  pedigrees  of  Jay-Eye-See  2:10,  Maud  S. 
2:08|,  Sunol  2:08J,  Alix  2:03J,  The  Abbott  2:031  and 
Lou  Dillon  1:58}. 

Another  of  the  causes  which  is  a  great  hindrance  to 
progress  is  a  lack  of  systematic  methods  in  breeding, 
or  a  failure  to  continue  such  for  a  sufficient  length  of 
time  to  fix  a  type  or  even  to  produce  the  best  results- 
It  is  a  lamentable  fact  that  when  the  most  progressive 
and  successful  breeders  of  trotting  stock  of  the  paBt 
have  died  they  have  left  no  one  who  has  taken  up  and 
carried  forward  the  work  on  ihe  same  systematic  lines 
that  they  followed  and  by  which  they  attained  success. 
The  late  Dr.  A.  S  Talbert  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  was  one 
of  the  most  progressive  breders  in  that  State  in  his 
day.  He  died  several  years  ago  and  his  stock  was 
dispersed.  Gov,  Stanford,  the  founder  of  Palo  Alto 
establishment,  was  undoubtedly  the  most  progressive 
breeder  of  trotting  stock  that  America  has  ever  pro. 
duced,  and  bred  more  trotters  of  all  ages  that  have 
held  world's  records  than  any  other  man.  His  Ideas 
of  the  improvement  of  trotting  speed,  or  the  method 
to  be  employed  to  accomplish  that  end  were  in  har- 
mony with  those  of  Dr.  Talbert.  When  Gov.  Stan, 
ford  d.ed  he  left  no  one  to  carry  forward  the  work 
that  he  had  begun  so  well.  The  Palo  Alto  stook  was 
dispersed. 
The  same  is  true  in  a  measure  of  the  renowned 


Village  Farm,  where  a  greater  number  of  2:10  per- 
formers have  been  bred  than  on  any  other  establish- 
ment. The  proprietors  of  Ideal  Stock  Farm,  East 
Aurora,  N.  Y.,  are  in  a  position  to  reap  the  fruits  of 
the  late  Mr-  Hamlin's  experience.  They  havesome  of 
the  choicest  of  Village  Farm  products  and  the  same 
able  superintendent  to  which  Village  Farm  waslargely 
indebted  for  its  success,  hence  are  fully  equipped  to 
continue  the  work  In  the  same  systematic  manner  and 
on  the  same  lines  that  it  was  conducted  by  the  founder 
of  Village  Farm. 

Much  of  the  progress  that  has  been  made  in  the 
past  in  the  improvement  of  speed  has  been  the  result 
of  accidental  rather  thah  systematic  breeding.  If  an 
establishment  could  ba  founded  for  breeding  trotters 
with  a  view  of  the  improvement  in  extreme  speed,  on 
a  similar  basis  as  that  by  the  Government  for  the 
establishment  of  a  breed  of  fine  carriage  horses,  much 
good  might  result  from  it,  as  the  system  of  breeding 
determined  upon  at  the  start  might  be  continued 
uninterruptedly  for  many  years,  if  not  by  the  same 
individuals  by  others  who  would  carry  out  the  plans 
of  the  founders  of  the  establishment.  It  is  not  prob- 
able however  that  it  will  ever  be  done  in  this  country.

The  Orloff-American  Trotter. 


Two  Brothers  to  Cresceus  are  Pacers. 


Now  that  the  racing  season  in  Russia  is  over  it  is 
evident  that,  despite  the  war,  it  was  an  interesting 
one,  particularly  so  to  those  Russian  breeders  who 
have  for  a  considerable  number  of  years  advocated 
thecroBsing  of  the  Orloff,  the  trotter  of  Russia,  with 
the  American-bred  ttotter.  The  showing  that  these 
half  bred  trotters  made  during  the  past  season  has 
more  than  surpassed  the  expectations  of  the  advocates 
of  this  cross.  Not  only  have  the  Orloff-American 
trotterB  defeated  the  pure  bred  Orloffs  in  a  majority 
of  the  races,  but  they  have  also  been  successful  in 
defeating  the  American-bred  trotter,  a  large  number 
of  the  latter  having  been  purchased  by  the  Russians, 
who,  of  course,  race  them  extensively  before  retiring 
them  to  the  stud.  The  Orloff-American  trotters  were 
not  only  successful  in  the  actual  contests  but  they  also 
reduced  the  records.  The  feat  of  establishing  a  new 
record  on  the  ice  of  2:14  was  noted  in  this  paper  at 
the  time.  It  also  appears  that  the  Orloff-American 
trotter  Iris  set  a  new  Russian  mark  for  two  miles. 
Pulling  two  hundred  and  fifty-eight  pounds  this  trot- 
ter went  the  first  mile  in  2:17  and  the  second  in  2:19J, 
making  the  time  for  the  two  miles  4:36|  This  was  a 
reduction  of  four  ahd  a  half  seconds,  as  the  best 
Russian  previous  time  for  the  distance  waB  4:41J,  a 
record  established  by  the  American-bred  trotting 
stallion  Baron  Rogers  which  raced  to  a  record  of  2:09f 
in  this  country.  Many  American  breeders  will  con- 
sider N.  K.  Feodossiefl,  secretary  cf  the  Imperial  Trot- 
ting Club  of  Moscow,  over-enthusiastic  in  his  state- 
ment in  regard  to  the  Orloff-American  cross  when  he 
says  that  breed  cannot  only  beat  the  best  Orloffs  but 
the  best  American  trotters  as  well.  Americans  will 
be  loth  to  believe  that  any  combination  of  trotting 
blood  capable  of  producing  trotters  better  than  the 
best  American  trotters.  The  Russian  exponent  of 
breeding  can  point  to  the  fact,  however,  the  Cresceus' 
record  to  ice  was  reduced  by  an  Orloff-American 
under  circumstances  less  favorable  than  those  which 
obtained  when  Cresceus  trotted  his  mile.  It  is  grati- 
fying to  the  American  breeder  to  know  that  American 
trotting  blood  is  appreciated  in  Russia  and  in  view  of 
the  remarkable  success  obtained  by  the  half-bred 
trotters  the  past  winter  it  would  not  be  out  of  order 
for  some  of  our  wealthy  breeders  to  import  some 
high-class  Orloff  mares  from  Russia.  If  this  should 
be  decided  on  by  any  American  the  conditions  under 
which  these  results  have  obtained  in  Russia  should  be 
observed.  The  Russian  breeders  not  only  selected 
well  bred  stallions  and  mares  in  this  country  but  ones 
which  had  been  raced  successfully.  More  than  that 
these  horses  were  raced  on  the  Russian  tracks  before 
being  bred.  It  will  not  do  for  an  American  breeder 
to  import  some  young  and  well  bred  Orloffs,  which 
have  never  been  trained  or  raced.  The  Russians  did 
not  do  that.  If  the  experiment  is  to  be  made  it  should 
be  with  aged  mares  which  have  been  raced  successfully 
in  that  country.  Let  the  American  experiment  be  on 
a  par  with  those  of  the  Russian. — Chicago  Horseman.

Eddie  Mitchell,  who  used  to  be  caretaker  with 
Cresceus,  but  is  now  training  a  stable  of  trotters  and 
pacers  in  Eogland  for  Walter  Winans,  writes  to  a 
friend  in  Chicago  that  The  Hangman,  a  full  brother 
to  Cresceus,  that  was  shipped  abroad  last  year  as  a 
trotter,  has  been  shifted  to  the  pace  and  can  fairly 
fly  at  the  latter  gait.  This  makes  the  second  brother 
of  Cresceus  to  come  out  as  a  pacer,  the  other  being 
Foxy  Quiller,  owned  in  Colorado,  that  was  deemed 
good  enough  to  be  named  in  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce Stake  last  ye.  r.  Having  seen  Foxy  Quiller  in 
a  number  of  races  I  should  judge  bim  good  for  a  mile 
in  2:10  with  everything  favorable,  although  his  record 
is  but  2:25,  he  not  having  won  a  heat  last  season. 

That  the  champion  trotting  stallion  should  have 
two  pacing  brothers  is  not  60  strange  as  it  would 
seem  at  first  thought.  Horsemen  that  are  observant 
know  that  about  half  the  trotting  bred  horses  are 
double  gaited,  and  the  first  trotter  to  take  a  record 
of  2:10  went  to  pacinglater  in  life  and  was  marked  in 
2:06J.  Trotting  stallions  get  pacers  i  nd  pacing  stal- 
lions get  trotters  in  a  manner  that  puzzIeB  the  men 
that  are  trying  to  breed  harness  horses..  Blue  Bull, 
a  pacing  bred  pacer,  was  a  wonderful  sire  of  trotters 
and  at  one  time  stood  at  the  head  of  the  list  as  a  he- 
getter  of  2:30  speed  at  that  gait. 

On  the  other  hand,  Dan  Patch,  king  of  pacers,  >8 
trotting  bred,  and  so  is  the  fastest  pacing  mare, 
Dariel.  McKinney,  premier  trotting  sire  of  to  day, 
himself  a  trotter  with  a  record  of  2:1]  J  by  Alcyone 
2:27,  son  of  George  Wilkes  2:22,  all  trotting  records — 
achieved  his  first  fame  as  sire  of  the  pacer  Coney  2:02, 
while  now  all  the  talk  is  of  his  trotting  daughter, 
Sweet  Marie  2:04|.  Almost  any  trotting  bred  horse 
can  be  made  to  pace  by  a  little  study  as  to  how  he 
shall  be  shod  and  the  adjustment  of  the  check  rein, 
but  as  trotters  are  more  salable  and  at  better  prices 
than  pacers  the  effects  of  trainers  are  mostly  directed 
to  making  the  double  gaited  horses  trot  instead  of 
pace. 

Breeders  do  not  care  to  have  it  6aid  that  their  stal- 
lions sire  a  large  percentage  of  pacers,  and  the  effortB 
of  the  farm  trainers  are  all  in  the  direction  of  making 
every  colt  trot  whether  he  wants  to  or  not.  The  late 
Senator  Stanford,  owner  of  Electioneer,  would  not 
have  a  pacer  on  the  place,  and  his  instructions  to  the 
trainers  were  to  make  the  coltstrot  or  run — he  wanted 
no  pacers.  This  is  the  principal  reason  why  Elec- 
tianeer  sired  (apparently)  so  few  pacers.  His  sons 
are  getting  plenty  of  them,  but  when  a  colt  by  the 
old  horse  was  a  pacer  they  made  a  trotter  of  it  a 
Palo  Alto,  no  matter  if  it  was  a  four  minute  trotter 
and  a  two  minute  pacer. — Henry  T.  White. 

New  Club  at  Marysville. 

The  Yuba  and  Sutter  Driving  Club  was  organized 
last  week  at  Marysville  with  65  names  on  the  member- 
ship roll.  The  officers  elected  were  as  follows:  Presi- 
dent, E.  P.  McDaniel;  Vice-President,  William  Leech; 
Treasurer,  J.  W.  Steward;  Secretary,  R  R.  Raish. 
The  Directors  elected  were  Charles  Raish,  M.  F. 
Gomez  and  John  Giblin,  in  addition  to  the  other 
officers  named.  R.  R.  Raisb,  Dennis  Coughlin  and  W. 
L.  Vance  were  appointed  to  draft  by-laws.  The 
membership  fee  was  fixed  at  $1  per  month. 

It  is  stated  that  the  club  will  take  charge  of  the 
race  track  property  and  will  encourage  the  breeding 
of  fast  stock,  hold  race  meetings  regularly  and  other- 
wise work  for  the  interests  of  horsemen. 

There  is  an  excellent  track  at  Marysville  and  many 
good  meetings  have  been  held  there  in  the  past.  Since 
the  death,  several  years  ago  of  the  lamented  horse 
breeder,  Mr.  D.  E.  Knight,  of  Marysville,  who  owned 
the  track  property  and  financed  several  meetings 
there,  Marysville  has  not  been  very  prominent  in 
racing  affairs,  but  the  interest  in  breeding  and  racing 
has  revived  recently  and  we  are  pleased  to  record  the 
organization  of  this  new  club. 


Saddle  Races. 


The  examples  set  by  the  Cleveland  Driving  Club  in 
the  purchase  of  ten  head  of  horses  to  be  used  for 
saddle  races,  is  an  example  that  might  well  be  emu- 
lated by  other  amateur  driving  clubs.  There  is  no 
question  that  it  will  stimulate  a  lot  of  interest  in  the 
sport.  The  plan  adopted  for  the  purchase  of  these 
saddle  horses  was  for  ten  members  to  subscribe  $300 
each,  making  a  fund  of  $3000  in  all.  When  the  horses 
arrived  they  were  drawn  by  lot,  and  each  subscriber 
has  one  horse  to  ride  in  the  races.  The  drawing  took 
place  at  the  annual  meeting,  which  was  recently  held, 
and  at  which  all  of  the  old  officers  were  re-elected  for 
the  ensuing  year,  including  the  popular  president,  H. 
K.  Devereux, — Exchange.

The  second  annual  tournament  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Trap  Shooters  Association  for  three  days  at  the 
Ingleside  grounds  waB  successfully  conducted  and 
well  attended.  On  the  first  day  111  shooters  partici- 
pated, seventy-seven  the  second  day  and  eighty-nine 
on  the  third  day,  nearly  all  of  whom  shot  through 
the  program  each  day. 

The  weather  on  Sunday  was  cloudy  and  cold,  mak- 
ing it  difficult  for  a  shooter  to  find  targets  as  they 
were  thrown  from  the  bulkheads.  Monday  the 
weather  was  pleasant  and  shooting  conditions  were 
muoh  better.  On  Tuesday  afternoon,  wind  and  chilly 
condition  of  the  atmosphere  prevailed.  About  40,000 
targets  were  used  during  the  shoot,  In  all  of  the 
regular  events  the  Sergeaut  Bystem  was  in  vogue. 
Sliding  distance  handicaps  were  imposed  on  the 
shooters— from  14  to  20  yards.  But  two  straights, 
by  E.  Klevesahl  and  L.  Hawxhurst,  were  made  at  the 
latter  distance,   Bungay,  Hesse,  Ashlin  each  made  a 


tendance  of  comparatively  new  beginners,  and  a  num- 
ber of  them  are  most  promising  shots  too 

On  Tuesday  evening  the  association  held  a  meeting 
and  elected  the  following  officers:  Dr.  C.  E.  Turner 
of  Vallejo,  President;  D.  Daniels,  Vice-President, 
George  W.  Lewis,  Secretary;  Edgar  L.  Forster, 
Manager.  After  the  meeting  Dr.  George  presided  at 
a  smoker  during  which  the  prizes  were  presented  to 
the  winners. 

T.  L.  Lewis  fired  the  opening  shot  of  the  tourna- 
ment and  Otto  Peudner  fired  the  closing  shot  on 
Tuesday. 

A  summary  of  scores  in  the  regular,  team  and 
trophy  events  follows:

straight  at  14  yards  while  Dr.  Derby  popped  out  3. 
There  waB  but  one  event,  the  first  on  Tuesday,  in 
which  a  straight  was  not  made,  19  being  the  high 
store.  The  distance  handicap  has  been  unfavorably 
commented  upon  by  a  number  of  shooters. 

Edgar  L.  Porster  managed  the  shoot  to  the  satisfac- 
tion of  everybody  on  the  grounds.  Thos.  L.  Lewis, 
D.  Daniels  and  H  T  Hoyt,  the  tournament  committee, 
looked  after  the  visitors  and  acquitted  themselves  of 
their  many  duties  most  creditably.  The  office  was  in 
charge  of  H.  P.  Jacobsen  and  George  W.  Lewis.  Dr. 
W.  S.  George  of  Antiooh  was  present  throughout  the 
shoot  and  is  to  be  congratulated  on  the  general  success 
and  conduct  of  the  shoot. 

The  visiting  sportsmen  from  other  points  were 
largely  io  evidence.  The  largest  representation  was 
from  Vallejo.  The  Vallejoites  are  a  jolly  crowd  of 
sportsmen  and  all  good  shots.  The  third  association 
annual  shoot  will  be  held  in  Vallejo  next  May  and  It  is 
safe  to  say  that  visiting  shooters  will  receive  a  hearty 
welcome. 

W.  J.  Golcher  won  two  cups,  the  Du  Pont  trophy 
and  another.  J.  W.  Bradrick  won  both  the  Bekeart 
challenge  cup  and  the  Mullerite  trophy.  R.  C.  Reed 
made  a  game  win  in  the  L.C.Smith  event.  M.  O. 
Feudner  won  the  Dr.  George  cup  In  the  last  race  of 
the  meeting.  The  average  of  scores  throughout  was 
excellent.  A  few  of  the  old  time  eracks  were  not  up 
to  their  usual  form.  It  is  encouraging  for  the  Bport 
to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  there  was  a  good   at-

lows- The  first  3  events  on  Sunday  were  at  16  yards, 
the  next  three  races  at  different  handicaps  according 
to  the  averages  shot.  The  first  3  races  of  the  second 
day  were  based  on  the  averages  made  in  the  previous 
afternoon's  3  races.  The  last  3  events  were  handi- 
capped from  results  made  on  60  targets  in  the  morn- 
ing. Tuesday's  first  60  targets  were  handicapped  on 
the  results  of  the  previous  afternoon  and  the  final  3 
regular  events  received  a  handicap  from  the  morning 
shoot  at  60  targets.  The  handicap  averages  arc  noted 
above.  In  the  tabulation  of  scores  the  results  and 
handicaps,  for  both  sections  of  60  targets,  are  given

Santa  Clara  Sportsmen  Have  an  Outing. 

The  second  annual  outing  of  the  Santa  Clara  County 
Fish  and  Game  Association  took  place  on  the  asso- 
ciation grounds  at  the  entrance  to  Alum  Rock  canyon, 
near  San  Jose,  last  Sunday,  and  was  a  grand  success 
from  start  to  finish.  There  were  about  five  hundred 
sportsmen  were  in  attendance  and  everybody  had  a 
splendid  time.  Many  visitors  from  outside  oounties 
were  also  present. 

The  day  was  an  ideal  one  for  the  meeting  and  the 
way  th^  devotees  of  the  trap  tore  holes  in  the  clay 
birds  showed  that  they  had  their  shooting  eje  with 
them.  The  trap  shooting  commenced  at  10  o'clock 
and  lasted  till  late  in  the  evening.  There  were  about 
seventy-five  shooters  participating.  Among  those 
who  stood  out  as  shining  lights  of  the  day  in  the  art 
of  peppering  the  blue  rocks  were:  Frank  L.  Carter, 
the  Montana  rifleman,  Dr.  A.  M.  Barker,  Bill  Cusb- 
ing,  "Chic"  Lion,  Wayland,  Rae  Schilling,  W.  B. 
Hobson,  Cottle,  Cleln,  E.  M.  Barnes  and  A.  A.  Brown, 
gentlemen  averaged  from  18  to  23  birds  out  of 
a  possible  25  Cushing  brone  10  out  of  10  in  a  warm 
up  shoot  while  Carter  shattered  23  out  of  the  25 
thrown. 

At  noon  the  assembly  of  sportsmen  sat  down  to  a 
toothsome  barbecue  dinner. 

Dr.  A.  M  Barker  President  of  the  association  acted 
as  toastmaster,  among  those  who  spoke  on  fish  and 
game  topics  wereChas.  T.  Vogelsang,  Hon.  Chas.  M. 
Shortridge,  H.  T.  Payne,  Chas.  A.  Reed,  Walter 
Welsh  and  others. 

Mr.  Thomas,  Clerk  of  the  State  Senate,  on  behalf  of 
tbu  association  presented  Senator  Shortridge  with  a 
gold  match  sale  as  a  token  of  its  appreciation  of  his 
tireless  energy  In  assisting  the  passage  of  bills  relating 
to  fish  and  trame  protection. 

hortrldge  thanked  the  association  for  the 
present  tbey  had  given  him.  He  also,  In  a  happy  and 
humorous  way,  explained  how  bills  are  passed  in  the 
State  Senate. 

A  match  case  similar  to  the  one  presented  to  Mr. 
Shortridge  i  by  Mr.  Payne  in   behalf  of 

Dr.  C.  W.  Hibbard  who  was  not  able  to  be  present. 

Shortly  after  noon  Frank  Carter,  the  crack  Mon- 
tana rifle  shot,  gave  an  exhibition  of  bis  skill  with  bis 
favorlto  weapon.  Washeis,  about  three  Inches  across 
and  with  boles  In  them  three-quarters  of  an  inch  in 
diameter,  which  were  covered  with  a  strip  of  paper, 
were  thrown  in  the  air.  With  apparent  ease  the  rifle- 
man sent  :i2-calibor  balls  whizzing  through  the  center 
of  the  wMber,  or  burled  tbom  whistling  aeross  the 
field.  Using  u  22,  ho  repeated  the  uet  with  smaller 
washers.  Oranges  were  tossed  high  In  the  air,  but 
tbey  could  not  escape  the  unerring  aim  of  the  marks- 
man. Marbles  the  alio  of  birds'  eggs  suffered  the  same 

ifter  another. 
rtainly  a  most  wonderful  shot  and  is 
I  the  honor  given  him. 


The  Breeding  of  Bulldogs. 

My  love  for  the  national  breed  must  be  my  excuse 
for  an  appeal  on  behalf  of  the  modern  Bulldog.  For 
game  time  it  has  been  apparent  that  grevious  mistakes 
are  being  made  by  a  numerous  class  of  breeders,  who 
appear  to  think  that,  by  exagerating  certain  typical 
points  at  the  expense  (alas!)  of  others  of  equal  or  even 
greater  importance,  they  will  ensure  the  winning  of 
honors  in  the  show-ring  and  enhance  the  pecuniary 
value  of  their  stock.  To  attain  these  objects,  inju- 
dicious and  persistent  inbreeding  has  been  resorted  to, 
and  this,  while  certainly  successful  in  emphasizing  the 
show  points  aimed  at,  has  also  led  to  the  production  of 
many  cripples  and  deformities,  deficient  in  activity, 
with' very  delicate  constitutions,  impaired  vital  powers, 
and  consequently  a  sadly  shortened  duration  of  life 
writes  Mr.  Hayes  Redwar,  member  of  the  Bulldog 
Club  and  of  the  London  Bulldog  Society  in  the  Illus- 
trated Kennel  News.  These  things  are  not  as  they 
should  be,  and  the  evils  resulting  from  this  system  of 
inbreeding  are  unfortunately  only  toolikely  to  increase 
with  time,  threatening  eventually  the  very  existence 
of  this  noble  breed. 

It  appears  to  me  that  the  science  of  reproduction  is 
but  scantily  understood  by  the  mass  of  breeders.  By 
reducing  the  number  of  ancestors  in  an  animal's 
pedigree  by  in-brejding,  we  must,  of  necessity  reduce 
the  number  of  hereditary  pecularities  and  therefore 
show  points,  and  consequently  in-bred  stock  will 
nearly  always  present  an  appearance  of  greater  uni- 
formity as  to  points.  As  against  this  advantage  we 
must  set  off  the  constant  and  very  great  danger  of 
concentrating  in  in-bred  stock  all  the  hereditary 
weaknesses  and  constitutional  taints  present  in  tbeir 
closely-related  ancestors  In  other  words  we  are  in- 
tensifying predisposition  to  disease.  It  is  not,  there- 
fore, only  a  question  of  activity,  but  of  stamina,  and 
there- is  no  doubt  that  sterility  is  on  the  increase 
among  Bulldogs,  while  their  delicacy  is  approximate 
to  that  of  hot-house  plants. 

There  are  also  matters  of  training  which  militate 
against  the  activity  and  vigor  of  constitution  of  the 
Bulldog.  With  many  ignorant  fanciers  it  is  almost 
an  article  of  faith  that  exercise  ruins  Bulldogs,  and 
one  often  sees  specimens  which  remind  one  of  Smith- 
field,  while  their  exhibitors  proudly  point  to  their 
sausage  bodies  as  "showing  very  little  daylight  under 
them." 

Cloddiness,  lowness  to  the  ground,  width  of  front 
and  shortness  of  back  are  all  admirable  points  within 
certain  limits,  and  characteristic  of  the  breed,  but 
when  they  are  so  exaggerated  that  a  dog  can  only 
move  with  difficulty,  and  pants  painfully  with  the 
l^ast  extra  exertion,  these  points  develop  into  abaurd 
grotesques.  The  undershot  jaw  is  also  characteristic 
of  the  breed,  but  when  so  exaggerated  that  the  dog 
can  hardly  get  a  hold  of  anything,  one  is  inclined  to 
ask  is  this  the  dog  whose  tenacity  of  grip  has  been 
immortalized  by  Lowell's  lines: 

"...    The  mongrel's  grasp  may  slip, 
But  only  crowbars  loose  the  Bulldog's  grip: 
S  aunch  to  the  death,  the  jaw  that  never  yields, 
Drags  down  the  bellowing  monarch  of  the  fields." 

I  have  heard  a  little  crippled  monstrosity  described 
by  his  admirers  as  a  "little  marvel,"  and  as  I  saw  him 
hobble  round  the  ring  on  his  feeble  little  stumps  of 
legs  that  looked  as  if  they  were  made  of  gristle  only,  I 
wondered  what  would  become  of  him  if  he  got  into  a 
"scrap"  in  the  street  with  an  active  Fox  Terrier. 

I  have  dealt  with  activity  and  stamina,  there  is  yet 
another  question  associated  with  breeding.  What  is 
to  become  of  our  short-backed  bitches  of  the  show 
sort?  Their  safety  is  seriously  imperiled  if  we  use 
them  for  breeding.  Are  we  to  have  two  kinds  of 
bitches,  some  fcrshow  and  others  for  breeding?  This 
seems  to  be  a  curious  result.  Are  we  justified  in  in- 
terfering with  nature  to  such  an  extent  that  many 
females  of  the  breed  are  unsuited  to  perform  tbe 
duties  of  maternitj  ? 

Surely  I  have  said  enough  to  demonstrate  that  Bull- 
dog breeders  need  to  set  their  house  in  order.  It 
seem  to  me  that  if  judges  were  guided  only  by  the 
"club  points,"  which  nowhere  sanction  such  absurd 
exaggerations  as  those  to  which  I  have  referred,  we 
should  soon  get  rid  of  the  cripples.  Show  honors 
should,  I  respectfully  submit,  be  withheld  from  any 
dog  so  exaggerated  that  be  "appears  deformed,"  or 
whose  "powers  of  motion"  are  impaired  in  anyway. 

Santa  Cruz  Show. 


The  Pacific  Collie  Club  will  hold  at  Santa  Cruz  a 
three-day  show  next  month.  The  show  will  be  held 
in  a  tent  on  the  beach.  It  is  anticipated  that  the 
entry  will  be  a  good  one.  A  number  of  dogs  from 
this  city  will  be  benched.  This  exhibit  by  the  seaside 
will  be  a  novelty  in  its  way,  it  affords  the  opportunity 
for  a  pleasant  outing,  at  all  events  Mr.  George  W. 
Sill,  of  Santa  Cruz,  is  the  Secretary.  A.  K.  C.  rules 
will  prevail.

A    CALIFORNIA    U.    M.    C,    CYCLONE. 

The  Pacific  Coast  Trap  Shooters  Association  held  a 
three  days  tournament  at  Ingleside,  ending  Tuesday 
May  30,  1905.  One  fact  noteworthy  and  truly  signifi- 
cant from  several  standpoints  was  the  phenomenal 
number  of  targets  thrown,  which  was  40,000.  This 
remarkable  showing  evidences  the  hold  that  trap 
shooting  has  gained  with  sportsmen  on  tbe  Pacific 
Coast,  and  gives  promise  of  future  permanence  of  one 
of  the  finest  sports  open  to  shotgun  enthusiasts. 

In  assembling  the  various  important  facts  of  interest, 
one  that  equals,  if  not  exceeds,  the  others  noted  is  the 
showing  made  by  the  U.  M.  C.  ammunition  during  the 
three  days  tournament.  The  first  day  there  were  111 
shooters,  and  of  this  number  92  were  exclusive  users 
of  U.  M.  C.  Magic,  Acme,  Majestic  and  Monarch 
shells,  or,  in  other  words,  a  percentage  of  82J  The 
second  day  there  were  67  shooters,  of  which  53  u6ed 
U.  M.  C.  shells  exclusively.  The  third  day  there  were 
87  contestants,  68  users  of  TJ.  M.  C.  shells  exclusively. 
In  this  connection  no  mention  is  made  of  those  con- 
testants who  used  U.  M.  C.  ammunition  in  part,  but 
the  list  is  simply  of  those  who  used  the  products  of 
the  TJ.  M.  C  Co.  to  the  exclusion  of  all  other  makes. 

In  the  first  day's  events  of  six  20-bird  races,  or  120 
birds  shot  at.  Hawxhurst  broke  111,  Bungay  of  Los

total  83.  Vallejo  Team- Clark,  Chappell,  Drake,' 
O'Hara,  Brown;  total  83.  Of  the  above  team  shooters, 
30  in  number,  24  used  U.  M.  C.  products  exclusively.' 
Bradrick  won  the  Mullerite  Medal,  using  U.  M.  C. 
ammunition. 

The  contest  for  the  Bekeart  trophy  in  the  100-bird 
race  brought  to  the  traps  the  largest  number  of  ex- 
perts in  the  history  of  the  gift.  The  following 
shooters  competed:  Emil  Holling,  Reed,  Feudner, 
Webb,  Nauman,  Bradrick,  E.  Schultz,  Hawxhurst 
Bungay,  Hagerman,  Justins,  Iverson.  Gibson,  Nelson 
and  Newbert.  Of  these  15  contestants,  11  were  ex- 
clusive users  of  U.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

WENATCHEE    SHOOT. 

The  Eleventh  Annual  Shooting  Tournament  of  the 
Washington  State  Sportsman's  Association  was  held 
at  Wenatchee,  Washington,  May  18th,  19th  and  20th. 
Wenatchee  was  at  her  best  in  point  of  hospitality  and 
perfect  weather  at  the  annual  tournament  held  there. 
Visiting  sportsmen  from  Oregon,  Washington  and 
Idaho  were  in  attendance,  and  the  local  enthusiasts 
were  untiring  in  their  efforts  endeavoring  to  make 
this  meet  a  memorable  one.  The  management  Is  to  be 
complimented  on  thesuccess  of  all  their  arrangements. 
There  were  42  shooters  in  attendance,  and  as  usual 
the  majority  were  users  of  U.  M.  C.  ammunition,  again 
demonstrating  the  confidence  experts  have  in  this 
reliable  and  accurate  ammunition. 

Mr.  E.  J  Chingren  won  the  Sportsman's  Review 
Gold  Medal,  using  U.  M.  C.  ammunition  and  a  Rem- 
ington shotgun,  with  a  straight  of  25,  unknown  angles, 
reverse  traps.  Mr.  Del  Cooper  was  a  close  second, 
with  24  breaks,  using  U.  M.  C.  Magic  shells.  Follow- 
ing close  on  Mr.  Del  Cooper  was  Mr.  P.  J.  Holohan, 
with  23  breaks,  using  the  U.  M.  C.  "Magic"  shell. 
Mr.  T.  W  Miller  tied  for  the  L.  C.  Smith  Gun  Cup, 
using  U.  M.  C.  "Magic"  shells.  This  event  was  not 
shot  off,  and  is  still  to  be  decided. 

Thus  closed  a  most  successful  meet,  and  visiting 
sportsmen  were  loud  In  tbeir  praises  of  tbe  treatment 
received  at  the  hands  of  the  Wenatchee  Gun  Club. 


WINCHESTER    ON    TOP. 

Mr.  W.  F.  Sheard,  of  Tacoma,  Wash.,  shooting  a 
Winchester  'pump"  gun  and  Winchester  "Leader" 
shells,  the  combination  Mr.  Sheard  always  uses, 
captured  everything  in  sight  at  the  Annual  Inani- 
mate Target  Tournament  of  the  Washington 
State  Sportsmen's  Association,  which  wss  held  at 
Wenatchee,  Wash.,  on  May  18th,  19th  and  20th.  The

Stock  Sayings. 


In  an  experiment  at  the  Missouri  sta- 
tion the  average  weight  of  57  lambs  born 
Bingly  was  7.S  pounds,  and  of  38  twin 
lambs,  7.07  pounds.  It  waa  found  that 
by  feeding  the  ewe  liberally,  the  twin:- 
made  as  good  sheep  as  did  the  lambs- 
born  singly. 

Almost  any  small,  young  animal  may 
be  easily  carried  by  being  put  into  a  sack 

Soy  beans\  and  cow  peas  are  being 
largely  fed  in  the  place  of  bran  It  pays 
the  farmer  to  do  it,  as  he  can  raise  his 
his  peas  and  beans,  and  has  to  buy  the 
bran. 

A  timid,  unagressive  male,  is  not  to  be 
desired  as  a  breeder.  The  aggressive 
young  are  the  ones  that  make  the  best 
animals.  An  undecided  male  would 
scarcely  get  this  kind. 

The  man  who  Bella  first  is  aBually  the 
man  who  has  advertised,  and  he  getB  the 
best  price. 

Color  has  very  much  to  do  with  the 
sale  of  an  animal.  In  selling  it  is  wise  to 
find  out  the  preference  of  a  customer,  and 
please  him,  if  possible. 

Beef  is  the  most  nutritious  of  all  ani- 
mal foods,  and  can  be  eaten  longer  con- 
tinuously without  tiring  than  any  other 
meat.

never  is  a  time  when  it  don't  pay  to  raise 
a  good  colt.  In  breeding,  the  best  sire  is 
always  to  be  preferred.  The  best  results 
are  always  to  be  obtained  by  breeding  in 
straight  lines—  that  is,  trotters  to  trotters, 
and  draft,  and  eaddle  horses  to  their 
kind. 

The  home  instinct  of  animals  is  some- 
thing remarkable.  When  a  herd  is  left 
to  itself  each  animal  feeds  toward  the 
home  from  which  it  was  brought.  It  will 
leave  the  finest  pasture  for  the  bleak  hill- 
side of  a  rocky  canyon,  because  it  is 
home. 

Scientists  state  that  all  animals  are  vio- 
lently opposed  to  the  sea  except  polar 
bears.     They  enjoy  an  ocean  voyage. 

Extensive  experiments  have  been  made 
to  determine  whether  it  is  better  to  water 
horses  before  or  after  feeding.  The  con- 
clusion has  not  been  definitely  an- 
nounced, aB  there  are  some  who  advocate 
watering  before  and  some  watering  after 
feeding. 

Sume  one  estimates  that  a  given 
amount  of  dry  food,  when  fed  to  beef  cat- 
tle, will  produce  three  times  as  much  in- 
crease in  weight,  as  of  butter,  wheri  fed  to 
a  dairy  cow.  A  pound  of  butter,  there- 
fore, should  have  three  times  as  much 
food  value  as  a  pound  of  beef,  and  cost 
three  times  as  much.     Sometimes  it  does. 

Alfalfa  meal  is  taking  a  prominent 
place  among  the  feed  stuffs  for  all  kindB 
of  stock,  and  Eome  feed  it  liberally  to 
poultry. 

It  is  an  indication  of  kindness,  but  not 
aVays  of  judgment,  to  feed  a  hungry 
horse  all  he  wants.  If  hot  and  tired  he 
snould  be  given  his  hay  fir.t,  and  when 
cool  and  more  quiet  be  can  have  his 
grain.  An  overloaded  stomach  is  not  in 
condition  to  digest  a  large  supply  of  food, 
especially  when  hot  and  tired. 

Horses  are  more  frequently  injured  dur- 
ing warm  weather  than  duriDg  cold 
weather.  They  do  not  need  more  food 
then  they  can  digest  and  assimilate  com- 
fortably. "When  overfed  the  stomach 
does  not  do  good  work,  because  it  does 
not  have  room  to  act  properly . 

It  has  been  proven  that  the  United 
States  can  produce  as  good  horses  as  any 
country  in  the  world.  Conditions  exist 
which  produce  animals  of  the  greatest 
strength  and  vigor.  Our  climate,  Boil 
and  grasses  are  very  congenial  to  their 
growth  and  development. 

Of  all  transport  animals,  the  mule  is  the 
hardiest  and  moBt  enduring.  Hedoesnot 
complain  when  he  is  overloaded,  but  will 
go  on  all  day,  and  when  be  drops  there  is 
no  doubt  that  he  has  had  enough.  Nine 
times  out  of  ten  when  he  gives  up  he  dies. 
No  beast  is  more  indifferent  to  extremes 
of  heat  and  cold  — Texas  Farmer. 


Wool  and  Mutton. 


Sheep,  to  fatten  most  rapidly  and  on 
the  least  grain,  must  be  kept  quiet. 

Sheep  will  not  bear  being  crowded  in 
big  flecks  in  too  limited  quarters. 

As  a  rule,  medium  sized  sheep  have  the 
best  as  well  aa  the  heaviest  fleeces. 

A  number  of  old  or  unthrifty  ewes  will 
often  make  a  material  diffeience  in  the 
possible  profits. 

It  is  the  ill  condition  of  sheep  in  a  flock 
that  cause  the  largest  amount  of  trouble 
in  managing. 

The  end  in  view  in  keeping  sheep  is 
profit,  and  with  wool  and  mutton  it  should 
be  realized. 

A  Bmall  amount  of  wool  or  even  of  mut- 
ton often  represents  the  difference  be- 
tween profit  and  loss. 

The  best  wool  and  the  beBt  mutton  are 
obtained  from  sheep  that  has  been  kept 
growing  all  its  life. 

Sheep  restore  to  the  Boil  a  larger  pro. 
portion  of  the  elements  than  they  take 
from  it  in  grazing  than  do  any  other 
stock. 

It  is  said  that  the  soil  upon  which  they 
graze  affects  the  quality  of  the  wool.  Clay 
soil  produces  the  best,  sandy  soil  the  sec- 
ond best,  and  lime  soil  the  most  inferior. 

The  best  way  to  clean  a  clover  pasture 
where  the  young  sprouts  are  becoming 
troublesome  is  to  turn  in  the  sheep.  If 
you  happen  not  to  have  a  flock,  buy  them, 

but  buy  good  ones.

Raising  the  Bacon  Hog. 

Outside  of  what  is  known  as  the  corn 
belt  farmers  will  make  more  money  in 
hog  raising  by  putting  animals  of  mod- 
erate weight  on  the  market  than  by  the 
heavy  weights  which  have  long  been  bo 
popular.  The  streak  of  lean  and  streak 
of  fat  hog  is  the  most  profitable  one  to- 
day, but  to  raise  such  an  animal  requires 
a  radical  departure  from  the  old  methods 
of  close  pens  and  an  almost  exclusive  corn 
diet. 

Oats,  barley,  skim  milk  and  plenty  of 
good  pasture  during  the  summer  enter 
very  largely  into  the  make  up  of  the 
bacon  hog.  Some  corn  is  fed,  but  mainly 
at  the  finishing  off  period  the  ma'n  de- 
pendence being  placed  on  the  other  grains 
with  the  pasture.  In  the  case  of  the  latter 
good  pasture  muBt  be  supplied.  It  will 
not  do  to  turn  the  hogs  on  any  worn  out 
strip  of  grass  land  The  pasture  of  mixed 
grasses  must  be  good  and  the  result  will 
De  better  if  a  range  of  rape  is  used  by  way 
of  variety.  Then,  let  the  hogs  follow  the 
harvest  particularly  in  the  corn  field  and 
they  will  pick  up  nearly  all  the  corn  they 
should  have  during  the  period  of  growth.

rator is  out  of  date.

Sponges.     S.  Adder-ley,  307  Market  St 


One  of  the  neglected  things  in  dairying 
ia  where  the  farmers  fail  to  look  up  the 
family  history  of  the  dairy  bull  that  he  is 
about  to  purchase  to  build  up  his  dairy 
herd. 


Dairy  Notes. 

The  neatness  with  which  butter  is  put 
up  has  much  to  do  with  its  sale.  An 
attractive  pgekage  is  always  given  the 
preference  by  a  customer. 

There  are  some  who  let  the  butter  drain 
a  half  hour  before  it  iB  salted.  They  salt 
in  the  churn  and  let  the  ealt  dissolve 
before  working  the  butler  thoroughly. 

In  handling  butter  there  are  a  good 
many  crises  which  can  be  met  only  by. 
experienced  persons.  Full  directions 
cannot  be  given  on  paper.  Judgment 
must  be  the  guide. 

The  twentieth  annual  meeting  of  the 
Holstein  Friesian  Association  of  America 
will  be  held  in  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  June  7-8, 
1905.  The  election  of  efficers  and  other 
important  business  will  come  before  it. 

It  is  too  uncertain  to  attempt  to  make 
butter  for  high  priced  customers  without 
having  the  necessary  utensils  The  cream 
should  be  uf  a  certain  ripeness  and 
temperature,  and  manipulated  in  the 
most  approved  manner. 

The  Belgium  farmer  places  an  average 
value  of  thirty-three  cents  per  100  pounds 
upon  skim  milk  as  a  food  for  raising  young 
animalB.  It  takes  skillful  feeding  to  make 
it  worth  that.  The  Belgians  could  give 
some  of  us  some  pointers  along  the  lineB 
of  feeding. 

Do  not  think  that  good  cows  are  pro- 
duced accidentally.  They  are  man's  im- 
provement, and  it  is  up  to  you  as  a 
breeder  to  understand  how  far  traits  and 
tendencies  can  be  counted  upon  for  trans- 
mission in  her  offspring.  Pedigrees  do 
not  make  butter  or  beef,  but  oftentimes 
make  sales.  It  is  the  individual  that 
counts. 

Once  a  week  is  not  often  enough  to  salt 
the  cows.  They  will  get  bo  hungry  by 
that  time  that  they  will  eat  too  much. 
That  acts  as  a  physic,  and  has  a  direct 
bearing  on  the  amount  of  butter  fat  in 
the  milk.  Have  ealt  where  the  cows  can 
get  it  every  day. 

Native  cows   will  respond  to  good  care. 

Oae  cow  needs  concentrated  foods;  an- 
other lighter  and  more  bulky  foods. 

Care  for  those  you  have  in  the  best 
way,  and  get  better  ones  as  soon  as 
possible. 

Men  who  have  graded  their  herds  have 
often  more  than  doubled  their  butter 
product. 

No  two  cows  have  the  same  individu- 
ality for  the  assimilation  of  food  and  the 
manufacture  of  milk. 

In  washing  butter,  pure,  cool  water 
should  be  used.  Some  pasteurize  it. 
Plenty  of  water  ahould  be  used.  Two 
or  three  waters  should  be  used  if  neces- 
sary The  temperature  of  the  water 
should  be  about  50  to  60  degrees.  If 
cooler  it  makes  the  butter  too  bard 
work.

The  Manure  Spreader. 

The  advantages  of  the  manure  spreader 
on  the  farm  are  many.  It  saves  time, 
labor  and  manure,  the  latter  by  making 
it  go  farther,  which  is  but  another  form 
of  saving. 

It  is  estimated  that  twoloadB  of  manure 
put  on  with  a  spreader  are  worth  three 
spread  by  hand.  A  thin  coat  of  manure 
evenly  applied  will  give  better  results 
than  a  much  thicker  application  put  on 
in  chunk  .  It  is  suspected  that  each  little 
particle  of  manure  contains  certain  bac- 
teria that  are  beneficial  to  the  growth  of 
vegetation.  A  small  particle  of  manure 
will  deposit  bacteria  thoroughly  over  the 
field  so  that  each  growing  plant  may 
receive  a  BUare  results  in  an  even  stand 
that  aggregates  a  much  larger  crop  than 
where  the  growth  is  bunchy. 

In  using  a  manure  spreader  care  ib 
necessary  to  prevent  over-lapping  or 
skipping.  The  spreader  should  be  tilled 
eyenly  full,  but  not  piled  up  in  the  center. 
It  is  a  matter  of  precaution  to  stop  the 
team  when  throwing  the  machinery  in 
gear  because  the  strain  of  starting  is  con- 
siderable and  it  pays  to  be  careful.  The 
machine  requires  care  to  keep  it  properly 
adjusted  and  it  requires  i  good  deal  of  oil 
to  prevent  unnecessary  wear  and  to  make 
it  run  easy.  The  time  required  to  unload 
is  usually  from  three  to  five  minuteB, 
according  to  the  thickness  of  spreading 
and  the  spead  of  the  team.  In  comparing 
this  with  the  time  required   to  spread   a

that  the  spreader  iea  great  labor  saver  ae

owner's  mares  this  year  and  specially  prepared  for  a  low  record  this  fall,  his  owner 
desires  that  he  be  bred  to  a  few  high-class  outside  mares  this  season

Dear  Sir:— I  have  a  standard  bred  "Cupid" 
mare  raised  by  Adolph  Spreckels,  the  well-known 
Calirornian  and  horse  breeder,  and  after  driving 
her  a  few  months  a  bad  spavin  showed  itself.  It 
was  fired  and  blistered  by  a  veterinary  and  the 
animal  turned  out  for  three  months.  The  spavin 
was  obstinate  and  the  mare  continued  lame.  I 
used  two  bottles  or  "Save-the-Horse"  and  a  com- 
plete cure  was  the  result. 

Yours,  Geo.  A.  Ksight.

Gentlemen:— I  have  cured  sprains,  spavin  and 
shoe  boil  with  "Save-the-Horse."  It  certainly 
proved  marvelcusly  successful  with  me,  and  I  d^ 
not  hesitate  in  recommending  it  for  these  ail 
ments.    Yours  truly,

In  regard  to  "Save  the-Horse,"  I  used  it  with  much  snooess.  The  running 
horse  Col  Roosevelt,  that  had  broken  down  In  training  for  two  or  three  years

ThlsTruok  is  the  result  of  years  of  endeavor  to  produce  a  wagon  that  has  great 

carrying  capacity,  ample  strength  without  superfluous  weight,  low 

enough  to  the  ground  to  minimize  the  labor  of  loading. 

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on 

the  roads  as  well  as  on  the  farm. 

The  "Jersey"  is  a  pronounced  success,  not  only  for  the  transportation  of  fruit, 

but  as  a  general  purpose  dray  in  villages  and  small  cities.

the  large  purses  because  so  many  fast  green  ones  oome 
out  every  year  to  compete  for  purses  of  any  great 
value.  The  selling  and  claiming  clauses  will  prevent 
owners  from  nominating  these  good  green  ones,  and 
the  slower  horses,  of  which  there  are  several  in  nearly 
every  training  stable,  will  have  a  chance  to  earn  their 
keep.  The  idea  seems  to  he  an  excellent  one,  and  it 
is  hoped  that  owners  will  enter  liberally  in  thete 
events  that  a  fair  trial  of  the  scheme  may  be  had* 
The  other  purses  offered  should  draw  all  the  best 
horses  in  training  on  this  coast  and  the  first  State 
Fair  at  the  new  grounds  should  receive  the  hearty 
support  of  every  person  in  California  who  is  interested 
in  any  way  in  the  breeding,  training  and  racing  of 
harness  horses.  Work  on  the  new  track  is  being 
pushed  rapidly  ahead  and  it  gives  every  promise  of 
being  one  of  the  best  mile  tracks  in  America.  Let 
the  harness  horse  owners  make  a  combined  effort  to 
give  the  State  institution  the  heartiest  of  support 
this  year.  A  successful  fair  and  race  meeting  in  1905 
means  much  to  the  harness  horse  industry  in  the 
future.

THE  HARNESS  RACING  PROGRAM  which  will 
be  given  by  the  California  State  Agricultural 
Society  at  the  new  State  Fair  Grounds  in  Sacramento 
is  advertised  on  the  opposite  page.  Nineteen  races 
are  provided  of  which  four  are  stake  races  in  which 
entries  have  already  been  made.  The  others  are  class 
races,  arranged  to  accommodate  as  many  horses  aB 
possible,  and  makes  by  far  the  best  program  the  State 
Agricultural  Society  has  arranged  for  harness  horses 
for  several  years.  Entries  will  close  Monday,  July  10th 
which  date  is  after  the  close  of  the  Los  Angeles  meet, 
iug  and  should  therefore  attract  a  very  large  entry 
list  and  result  in  excellent  contests.  As  will  be  seen 
the  Agricultural  Society,  eager  to  accommodate  the 
horsemen  wno  make  harness  racing  possible  by  paying 
in  large  amounts  annually  for  entrance  fees,  has  in 
response  to  a  request  from  many  trainers  placed  two 
selling  races  on  the  program,  one  for  trotters  and  the 
other  for  pacers.  While  selling  purses  have  long 
been  a  popular  feature  on  running  tracks,  and  have 
been  suggested  many  times  for  the  harness  races,  we 
believe  California  i9  the  first  place  to  try  the  plan  for 
trotters  and  pacers.  The  Breeders  Association  has  a 
selling  race  for  trotters  on  its  Fresno  program,  and 
now  the  State  Agricultural  Society  has  provided  for 
two,  one  for  trotters  and  one  for  pacers.  The  races  are 
especially  designed  to  bar  the  very  fast  and  valuable 
horses,  and  give  the  owners  who  have  spent  time  and 
money  in  training  horseB  that  are  not  crackerjacks, 
an  opportunity  to  get  some  of  their  money  back  and 
probably  to  sell  them  at  fair  values.  The  selling 
purses  offered  by  the  State  organization  have  a  value 
of  $500  each,  divided  in  the  usual  way  Into  four 
moneys.  All  horses  entered  in  these  events  are  put 
in  at  a  valuation  of  $300.  After  the  race  the  winner 
is  to  be  sold  for  $300.  If  he  brings  any  more  than 
that  amount  half  the  excess  will  go  to  the  association 
and  half  to  the  owner  of  the  Becond  horse.  If  A  wins, 
is  put  up  and  Bold,  and  brings  $350,  his  owner  will  get 
$300  of  this  amount,  plus  first  money  which  is  $250, 
thus  getting  $550  for  a  horse  that  he  put  in  to  sell  at 
$300.  There  is  also  a  oondition  governing  these  events 
which  provides  that  any  horse  in  tha  race  may  be 
claimed  by  any  person  after  the  race  for  his  entered 
price  of  $300,  plus  the  amount  of  second  money  which 
is  $125,  thus  giving  the  owner  $425  for  a  horse  which 
by  entering  In  the  race  he  signified  his  willingness 
to  sell  for  that  amount.  The  claim  made  by  the 
authors  of  this  system  of  racing  is  that  there  are  a 
yery  large  number  of  horseB  in  training  every  year 
and  entered  all  through  the  circuit  whose  owners  find 
are  not  quite  fast  enough  to  win  and  are  therefore 
retired  at  the  end  of  the  season  and  never  raced  again. 
TheBe  horses  may  be  able  to  trot  five  heats  around 
2:20  and  have  records  which  bar  them  from  any 
Blower  classes,  but  are  not  fast  enough  to  win  any  of 


D ECAUSE  a  new  law  provides  that  no  betting  shall 
*-*  be  permitted  at  the  California  State  Fair,  no 
owner  of  harness  horses  should  be  deterred  from 
naming  his  horses  in  the  splendid  program  that  has 
been  provided  for  trotters  and  pacers.  While  we 
believe  the  new  law  is  unjust  and  undemocratic,  it  is 
on  the  statute?,  and  the  soealled  reformers  who  placed 
it  there  will  hail  with  delight  a  failure  of  the  program 
to  fill,  and  such  a  result  would  doubtless  lead  them  to 
set  up  the  claim  that  an  institution  which  cannot  sur- 
vive unless  gambling  is  permitted  is  not  worthy  of 
State  aid.  The  old  story  of  the  camel  that  was  per- 
mitted to  intrude  its  head  in  its  owner's  tent,  and 
finally  forced  its  entire  body  in,  taking  possession  and 
driving  the  owner  out,  has  its  counterpart  in  the 
history  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society.  Ten  or 
twelve  years  ago  a  bookmaker  made  a  bid  for  the  bet- 
ting privilege  at  the  State  Fair  and  the  bid  was  ac- 
cepted. As  he  paid  a  big  price  and  the  system  was 
new  in  California,  but  little  attention  was  attracted 
to  the  new  invader.  But  as  time  progressed  the 
bookmakers  became  more  obtrusive  until  in  the  past 
few  years  they  have  not  only  controlled  State  Fair 
racing,  but  been  the  whole  show,  as  it  were.  Last 
year  they  compelled  ths  State  Board  to  accept  their 
terms  and  dictated  the  racing  program.  ThiB  con- 
dition of  things  could  not  continue.  The  bookmaker 
must  go  or  the  annual  fairs  would  have  to  be 
stopped  entirely.  The  Legislature,  having  a  large 
proportion  of  members  who  knew  nothing  of  betting 
methods,  took  the  bull  by  the  horns  and  prohibited 
all  betting.  While  every  person  should  have  the 
right  to  make  a  wager  on  a  horse  if  he  so  desires,  as  he 
ha9  the  same  right  to  buy  wheat  or  corn  at  a  stated 
price  for  future  delivery,  we  believe  the  horsemen  will 
be  only  injuring  themselves  who  refuse  to  enter  their 
horses  at  the  State  Fair  because  betting  is  not  to  be 
permitted  there.  If  the  harness  races  can  be  made  a 
success  this  year  without  the  bookmaker,  it  will  be 
easy  to  have  a  legislature  amend  the  law  next  session 
so  as  to  permit  auction  and  mutual  pools  to  be  sold. 
A  return  to  the  old  methods  is  all  that  harness  horse 
owners  ask  and  this  will  come  if  they  show  their 
friendliness  to  a  well  conducted  State  Fair.  Hence 
we  say  to  every  harness  horse  owner,  enter  in  the 
harness  events  at  the  Fair  this  year  and  do  all  you 
can  to  aid  its  success.  There  is  no  law  that  will  pre- 
vent hand  to  hand  betting  and  any  one  who  desires  to 
wager  a  stated  sum  that  his  horse  will  win  will  doubt- 
less find  someone  with  a  different  opinion  that  is  will- 
ing to  cover  his  money. 


ENTRIES  CLOSE  THURSDAY  NEXT  for  the  big 
meeting  at  Fresno  to  be  given  in  July  by  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association. 
ThiB  meeting  will  follow  the  one  at  Los  Angeles  where 
a  big  entry  list  haB  been  received  and  will  probably 
attract  many  horsemen  who  will  not  race  at  the 
southern  metropolis,  as  well  as  nearly  all  who  do  race 
there.  The  Fresno  track  is  without  doubt  one  of  the 
best  appointed,  fastest  and  safest  in  California.  The 
meetings  there  are  always  largely  attended,  as  Fresno 
people  are  srreat  lovers  of  harness  racing.  Fresno  is 
the  raisin  center  of  California,  a  prosperous,  thriving 
community  which  has  grown  in  a  few  years  from  a 
wheat  field  to  a  modern  city  of  fine  business  blocks 
and  b  ?autiful  homes.  It  has  good  hotels  and  excellent 
railroad  accommodations,  the  Santa  Fe  and  Southern 
Pacific  both  running  many  daily  trains  there  from  all 
points.  It  will  be  worth  while  for  every  horse  owner 
to  take  the  occasion  of  the  Breeders  meeting  to  visit 
this  thriving  place,  as  the  enjoyment  of  the  racing 
will  be  an  added  pleasure  to  the  trip  Over  ten 
thousand  dollars  in  purses  have  been  hung  up,  a  full 
list  of  which  will  be  found  in  our  advertising  columns. 
Get  your  entries  made  and  mailed  on  Thursday  next, 
and  be  at  Fresno  to  get  some  of  the  money  that  will 
go  to  the  winners. 


A  GOOD  PLAN  is  the  one  proposed  by  the  Board  of 
*»  Supervisors  of  Yolo  county  to  aid  a  big  county 
fair  to  be  given  in  connection  with  the  race  meeting 
this  year.  The  Board  has  agreed  that  it  will  appro- 
priate $1000  to  be  used  as  premiums  for  Yolo  county 
stock  only,  none  of  this  money  to  be  awarded  to  stock 
exhibited  by  owners  living  outside  the  county.  The 
idea  of  course  is  to  advance  Yolo  county  as  a  stock 
breeding  section,  and  is  a  most  worthy  one.'  Wethink 
this  plan  will  be  a  solution  of  the  county  fair  question 
which  has  been  a  very  troublesome  one  to  boards  of 
agriculture  since  the  Legislature  cut  off  State  aid  to 
them.  If  the  Supervisors  of  each  county-  will  make 
an  appropriation  for  premiums  for  county  products, 
the  agricultural  societies  can  afford  to  give  fairs  and 
the  old  district  fairs  which  were  in  reality  county 
fairs  can  be  revived.  The  barring  of  outside  stock 
will  induce  the  breeders  of  a  county  to  make  a  much 
larger  display,  and  eventually  all  the  prize  winnerB  at 
the  county  fairs  will  be  taken  to  the  State  Fair  where 
they  will  compete  in  classes  open  10  all.  This  cannot 
help  but  do  much  for  the  breeding  interests  and 
improve  all  breeds.  The  Yolo  plan  is  a  good  one,  and 
Yolo  county  can  give  a  fair  and  race  meeting  that  will 
draw  people  from  allseetiots.  We  hope  to  see  the 
plan  taken  up  and  adopted  by  the  other  counties. 


The  State  Fair  of  1905. 



In  a  letter  to  this  paper  Secretary  Albert  Lindley 
of  the  State  Agricultural  Society  says: 

"Our  next  State  Fair  will  be  held  from  September 
2d  to  September  9th  inclusive.  The  State  Agri- 
cultural Society  will  by  that  time  be  ont  of  debt, 
they  will  have  completed  by  then  new  fair  ground! 
convenient  to  the  city  of  Sacramento.  Upon  these 
new  grounds  they  will  have  completed  modern  new 
buildings  for  the  exhibition  of  stock,  poultry,  agri- 
cultural, horticultural,  mineral  and  manufactured 
products.  They  will  also  have  completed  by  then  a 
regulation  race  track  which  they  firmly  believe  will 
be  one  of  the  fastest  and  best  in  the  We9t,  and  thus 
equipped,  with  an  electrical  carnival  takiDg  place 
during  the  fair  week  and  the  gathering  of  thousands 
of  Native  Sons  in  Sacramento  during  that  week  to 
attend  their  annual  Admission  Day  celebration,  they 
believe  that  with  the  support  of  the  press  of  Califor- 
nii  in  placing  before  the  people  the  attractions  then 
to  be  given,  and  the  fact  that  the  State  Agricultural 
Directors  are  going  to  endeavor  to  give  to  the  people 
this  year  an  old-fashioned  State  Fair  that  will  appeal 
to  the  interests  of  producers  of  anything  anywhere  in 
California,  and  that  they  are  going  to  compensate  the 
exhibitors  and  contestants  generously  and  promptly, 
by  giving  them  liberal  premiums,  prizes  and  other- 
wise rewarding  them  for  the  time  and  trouble  occu- 
pied in  placing  their  exhibits;  and  also  that  the  speed 
contestB  will  be  given  this  year  for  the  purpose  of  en- 
couraging the  breeding  and  development  of  the  har- 
ness horse  and  for  the  entertainment  of  the  public, 
rather  than  for  the  purpose  of  furnishing  occupation 
for  the  syndicate  bookmakers  and  gamblers. 

We  are  going  to  endeavor  to  conduot  the  coming 
State  Fair  aloug  these  lines  and  we  ask  the  earnest 
support  of  the  press  of  California  in  our  efforts  to 
prove  that  a  State  Fair  of  this  character  can  be  made 

a  success."

How  to  Fit  Horses  fir  Market. 


Farmers  in  general  give  little  attention  to  the 
matter  of  condition  in  horses  which  they  expect  to 
sell,  says  an  exchange.  Investigation  along  this  line 
has  shown  that  every  one  hundred  pounds  of  addi- 
tional weight  in  the  case  of  a  heavy  draught  horse 
is  worth  from  twenty  to  fifty  cents  more  per  one 
hundred  pounds.  In  the  first  place,  the  farmer  is  in 
a  position  to  feed  as  cheaply  as  any  professional 
feeder,  for  there  are  very  few  farmers  who  cannot 
feed  so  as  to  produce  fat.  To  sell  well  on  the  market 
horses  must  be  fat,  sleek  and  well  groomed.  At  the 
season  when  the  grass  is  plentiful  and  conditions 
favorable  for  fattening  horses  it  is  a  very  easy  matter 
to  put  on  many  pounds  very  cheaply.  After  horses 
have  once  become  fat  on  gia's,  or  with  a  little  ad- 
ditional feed,  it  is  a  very  small  matter  to  put  them  in 
a  box  stall  and  harden  them  up  in  preparation  for 
the  sale  day.  The  buyera  demand  fat.  If  one  hae 
time  to  give  proper  exercise  and  light  work  he  can 
add  something  to  the  value  of  the  horse,  as  he  will  be 
ready  to  go  right  into  the  heavy  work  of  the  city 
buyer.  A  little  additional  grooming,  together  with 
blanketing  for  a  month,  will  also  add  much  to  the 
selling  price  of  horses.  No  matter  what  market  we 
go  into,  the  fine  appearing,  well  groomed,  energetic, 
fat  horse  is  preferred  by  the  buyer  who  is  ready  to 
pay  for  theBe  particular  qualities.  Farmers  cannot 
afford  to  breed  and  develop  a  first-class  animal  and 
then  loso  a  large  per  cent  of  profit  by  neglecting  the 
finishing  touches.

a  Director  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breed, 
ers  Association,  who  had  entered  the  produce  of  his 
mare  Lottie  Parks  2:16}  in  that  stake.  Mr.  Crowley

horses  go  through  the  entire  circuit  without  receiving 
any  additions  from  outside  points  as  the  circuit  pro- 
gresses, a  few  trotters  and  pacers  usually  develop  early 
in  the  season,  that  outclass  the  others,  and  the  result 
is  the  lists  of  starters  are  small  during  the  latter  part 
of  the  season.  Races  that  will  provide  contests  for 
these  outclassed  horses,  in  which  the crackerjacks  will 
not  be  entered,  will  make  the  programs  much  more 
interesting  and  keep  many  owners  in  the  game  until 
the  close  of  the  season  who  have  been  accustomed  to 


horses  here  in  the  fall.

credit  of  the  stake.    By  the  conditions  the  colts  that 


was  the  best  they  could  hope  for,  feeling  that  it  was 
better  to  pay  entrance  fees  and  rot  start  against 
horses  they  had  no  chance  to  beat.  I  sincerely  hope 
that  the  selling  race  for  2:20  class  trotters  advertised 
for  the  Fresno  meetiDg,  entries  to  which  close  next 
Thurpday,  will  get  a  big  list  and  have  a  fair  trial.  It 
looks  like  a  good  feature,  and  should  be  one. 


Next  Monday  evening  is  the  date  set  for  the  regular 
annual  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association.  At  this  meet- 
ing a  new  Board  of  Directors  is  to  be  elected  and  such 
other  business  transacted  as  will  properly  come  before 
the  meeting.  There  should  be  a  large  attend- 
ance as  every  member  of  the  association  should  be 
be  sufficiently  interested  in  its  management  and  affairs 
to  attend  the  one  meeting  held  during  the  year.  It 
often  happens  in  the  affairs  of  this  association  how- 
ever that  no  quorum  is  present  at  the  annual  members 
meeting,  and  the  result  is  that  the  old  Board  of 
Directors  holds  over.  The  members  must  be  pretty 
well  satisfied  with  the  management  of  affairs  or  this 
would  not  be  the  case. 

To  show  how  political  papers  will  cook  up  any  sort 
of  an  excuse  to  abuse  one  that  they  desire  to  attack, 
the  story  printed  about  the  race  horses  owned  by  the 
present  Mayor  of  San  Francisco,  which  appeared  in  a 
weekly  of  this  city  recently  is  a  fair  sample.  One  not 
acquainted  with  the  facts  in  the  case,  would  suppose 
after  reading  this  story  the  Mayor  had  purchased  a 
fine  stable  of  thoroughbreds  and  trotters  at  a  vast 
expenditure  of  money  and  was  keeping  them  in 
palatial  style  at  tremendous  cost.  The  facts  are  that 
the  official  in  question  purchased  one  little  gray  pac- 
ing mare  a  few  months  ago  to  drive  on  the  road.  Not

read  as  follows:

money  in  the  Crowley  Stake.  If  there  are  three  or 
four  of  the  starters  that  are  entered  in  the  side  stake, 
the  race  between  them  will  be  a  feature  of  the  main 
event  that  will  excite  a  great  deal  of  interest.  Mr. 
Crowley  has  therefore  suggested  a  renewal  of  this 
stake  for  the  foals  eligible  to  the  stake  of  1908.  He 
vill  again  name  his  mare  Lottie  Parks  and  hopes  to 


see  every  person  who  made  an  entry  in  last  year's 
stake  nominate  again  in  this,  and  that  at  least  fifty 
more  owners  will  do  the  same.  The  stake  will  be 
advertised  about  July  1st  to  close  August  1st,  the 
same  date  as  last  year. 


Colt  stakes  are  without  doubt  the  very  life  of   the 
breeding  industry.  The  Occident  and  Stanford  Stakes, 
given  at  the  State  Fair  each  year,  and  the  establish- 
ment a  few  years  ago  of  the  Pacific  Breeders  Futurity, 
accomplished   more    to    keep  alive    the   interest    in 
standard  bred  horses  than  could  have  been  done  by 
any  other  means.    Many  an  owner  would  quit  breed- 
ing were  it  not  for  the  possibility  of  winning  the  big 
end  of  a  stake  with  his  two  or   three  year  old.    The 
added  value  that  comes  to  colts   by   reason   of  their 
eligibility  to  rich  Btake  events  is   hard    to  estimate, 
but  we  all  know  it  is  very  great.     There  is  an   adver. 
tisement  running  in  this  paper  at  the  present  time,  in 
which  a  well  known  trainer  makes  inquiry  for  a  filly 
that  is  eligible  to  either  the  t  jvo  or  the  three-year-old 
Breeders      Futurity    stake     or     the     Occident     or 
Stanford    stake    this  year.      This    trainer   wants    a 
filly  that  Is  showing  some  speed,  and  is  willing  to  pay 
fairly  for  one  that  haB  a  chance  to  get   part  of  the 
money.    There  should  be  quite    a   number  of  these 
ellgiblcs  whoBe  owners  are  willing  to  sell,  but  up  to  this 
time  but  very  few  have  so  expressed  themselves.   The 
truth  Is  that  when  a  person  has  bred  and  raised  a  colt 
or  filly  and  has  It  entered  in  a  good   stake,  he   has  a 
feeling  that  the  mere  ownership  of  a  prospective  win- 
ner removes  from  his  mind   the  desire  to  sell  at  all, 
and  he  Is  liable  to  refuse  many  offers  that  are  all  the 
youngster  Is  worth. 

When  entries  close  next  Thursday  for  the  Fresno 
meeting  I  will  be  very  much  Interested  in  the  list 
received  for  the  selling  race,  tho  first  I  believe  ever 
gotten  up  for  trotting  horses  It  was  put  on  the

State  Fair  program  advertised  in  this  issue.  For 
several  yearn  a  number  of  California  horsemen  have

racing  would  result  from  thorn,  and  that  it  would  give 
the  slower  horses  In  training  a  chance  to  earn  money 
without  having  to  compete  against  the  green  horses 
that  were  fast  and  held  at  high  valuation,  as  the  sell.

Esq  "  Now  if  Mr.  McFadyen's  search  resulted  in 
proof  that  Old  Fly  was  a  thoroughbred  mare  brought 
to  this  state  in  1871,  she  could  not  have  been  the 
Blaak  Flying  Cloud  mare  brought  here  in  1873  by  Mr. 
Maxwell,  nor  the  Geo.  M.  Patchen-Nelson  mare  that 
Sam  Gamble  will  go  down  to  his  grave  believing  to

Word  comes  from  Denver  that  Bon  Voyage,  W.  A. 
Clark  Jr.'s  three-year-old  trotter,  is  showiEg  two 
minute  speed  and  looking  like  a  champion.  Mr, 
Clark  bought  Bon  Voyage  for  $10,000  just  after  the 
colt  had  won  the  two-year-old  division  of  the  Kentucky 
Futurity  last  year  and  taken  a  record  of  2:15.  Bon 
Voyage  started  three  times  in  his  two-year-old  form. 
First  In  the  Horse  Review  stake  at  Cincinnati  which 
he  won  in  straight  heats  in  2:17}  and  2:15|,  beating 
The  Phantom  (which  James  Butler  afterwards 
bought),  and  five  others;  next  in  the  Kentucky 
Futurity  where  he  beat  Katherine  L.  and  se\en  others 
in  straight  heats  in  2:15  and  2:15J,  and  the  third  time 
a  week  later  when  Jack  Axworthy  beat  him  in  straight 
heats  in  2:15J  and  2:16$.  Charles  Marvin,  the  veteran 
reinsman  that  was  formerly  at  Palo  Alto,  bred,  trained 
and  drove  the  colt  to  his  record  and  believes  he  should 
be  a  great  three-year-old.  When  Bon  Voyage  was 
working  at  Los  Angeles  this  spring  be  was  not  the 
best  gaited  colt  in  the  world,  but  improved  greatly 
before  leaving  for  Denver,  and  it  is  now  reported  that 
he  is  trotting  like  a  winner  for  Ted  Hayes.  On  Wed. 
nesday  of  last  week  Mr.  Hayes  drove  him  the  last 
quarter  of  a  slow  mile  in  30  seconde  flat  by  his  own 
watch,  while  such  experienced  timers  as  Joe  Gavin 
and  Joe  Matty  caught  the  quarter  in  29J  seconds.  Bon 
Voyage  is  well  staked  and  will  make  his  first  start  in 
the  Hartford  Futurity,  then  in  the  Horse  Review 
stake  at  Cincinnati,  and   the  Kentucky   Futurity  at 

Lexington.  

The  two  McKinoey  four-year  old  stallions,  Carakina 
and  Ruskin,  which  Jack  Curry  purchased  from  Mr. 
Gray  of  Santa  Rosa  for  an  Eastern  party,  were 
bought  for  Dr.  Henry  Berthuiam  of  Woonsocket, 
formerly  a  resident  of  Providence.  These  two  colts 
were  bred  at  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  and  are  fine 
Individuals.  Carakina  Is  a  pacer  and  a  fast  one.  His 
dam  is  that  great  broodmare  Biscara  by  Director, 
second  dam  another  great  broodmare  Bicara  by 
Harold.  Ruskin  is  out  of  Russle  Rus6ell  by  Bay  Rose 
2:20J,  second  dam  Oakley  Russell  by  Happy  Russell 
2:21J.  This  colt  Is  a  trotter  and  haB  had  but  a  very 
limited  amount  of  work   but  is  good  gaited  and  has 


the  money  he  has  spent  on  the  little  gray  pacer  Is  evi- 
dence of  his  extravagance,  the  horse  dealers  of  Cali- 
fornia will  not  be  living  in  luxury  on  the  profits  made 
through  supplying  him  with  horses.  There  is  many 
a  man  working  for  $100  a  month  who  driveB  a  more 
valuable  and  faster  horse  than  the  Mayor  does,  and 
who  spends  more  money  on  its  keep,  every  cent  of 
which  is  honestly  earned  and  not  extravagantly  ex- 
pended.   

Auction  sales  all  over  the  country  show  that  the 
market  for  horses  is  about  the  same  in  California  or 
Oregon  as  in  Maine  or  Kentucky.  Good  horses  bring 
good  prices  and  poor  ones  go  for  less  than  cost.  The 
buyers  are  all  "from  Missouri,"  as  the  saying  is,  and 
have  to  be  "shown"  instead  of  told.  At  NaBhville, 
Tennessee,  last  week  143  head  of  trotting  and  pacing- 
bred  horses,  thoroughbreds  and  ponies  Bold  for  $22,- 
445,  an  average  of  $156  per  head.  Good  roadsters 
with  no  great  speed  brought  from  $250  to  $400whichis 
good  money  foran  ordinary  horse.  Thehorse  market 
Is  good  everywhere  for  mature  broken  horses.  If  you 
don't  think  bo,  go  out  and  try  to  buy  one.  H. 


Lou  Dillon  Goes  East. 


Budd  Doble  gave  Lou  Dillon  her  last  work  at  San 
Jose  last  Saturday  and  on  Monday  she  was  sent  East 
by  express  in  charge  of  Frank  Molloy  who  has  been 
taking  care  of  her  all  winter.  The  car  In  which  she 
was  shipped  was  to  be  side-tracked  at  Ogden,  Utah, 
for  about  24  hours  to  give  the  mare  a  chance  for  a 
little  exercise  and  then  again  at  Chicago  as  Mr. 
Billings  wishes  to  take  a  look  at  her;  then  to  Cleve- 
land. The  fastest  work  of  the  famous  mare  while  in 
the  hands  of  Mr.  Doble  waB  2:11  but  she  is  in  prime 
condition  and  about  ready  for  the  matinees,  although 
Mr.  Doble  regretied  the  fact  that  he  could  not  have 
had  the  opportunity  to  train  her  for  about  one  month 
longer,  as  she  has  been  improving  so  rapidly  during 
the  past  few  weeks  in  both  manners  and  speed  that  he 
thought  a  few  weeks  more  in  California  would  have 
been  greatly  beneficial  to  her.  Laat  week  her  first 
mile  as  good  as  2:11  was  trotted  and  on  Saturday  she 
was  given  four  evenly  rated  miles  in  2:23,  2:12,  2:11 
and  2:11.  ^ 

If  every  owner  knew  just  when  to  accept  an  offer 
for  his  horse  there  would  be  more  of  them  satisfied 
with  the  business.  It  is  said  the  owner  of  Sidevlew 
Belle  refused  $10,000  for  her  last  fall,  yet  she  sold  for 
$4200  at  the  Down  East  sale  two  weeks  ago.  There 
are  hundreds  of  instances  where  owners  refuse  good 
prices  for  their  animals  and  then  sell  them  for  much 
less,  not  because  they  are  not  as  good  as  when  the 
offer  was  ma^e,  but  because  no  one  else  thinks  them 
worth  as  much  as  the  person  who  made  the  offer.  A 
wealthy  owner  can  afford  to  refuse  any  price  for  a 
horse,  but  the  poor  man  should  be  very  oareful  not  to 
refuse  a  good  offer.

Racing  at  Sonoma. 

The  Sonoma  Driving  Club  gave  a  meeting  on  May 
30th  which  resulted  quite  successfully.  The  receipts 
from  all  sources  were  something  over  $200.  While  the 
club  has  only  been  able  to  give  very  small  purses  up 
to  this  time,  and  the  sport  is  entered  into  more  for 
fun  than  anything  else,  the  members  hope  to  be  able 
to  arouse  sufficient  interest  so  that  purses  of  good 
value  may  be  given  in  the  future.  The  club  contem- 
plates giving  a  meeting  on  July  4th,  at  which  the 
purses  will  be  larger  than  any  heretofore  offered.  The 
track  is  now  in  excellent  condition.  The  officers  of 
the  club  are  President  S.  B.  Lewis,  Secretary  W.  C. 
Nolan,  Directors  S.  B.  Lewis,  W.  C.  Nolan,  G.  S.

On  the  second  day,  the  McKinney  mare  Delia  Mc- 
Carthy, owned  by  S.  S.  Bernard  of  Colorado  Springs 
won  the  $1000  trot  for  trotters  of  the  2:35  class.  She 
won  in  straight  heats,  2:25  being  the  fastest.  Woody 
R.  by  Woody  C.  was.  the  contending  horse  and  the 
struggle  in  the  third  heat  which  was  the  fastest 
resulted  in  a  very  close  finish. 

The  2:35  class  pace  on  the  third  day  went  to  Hallina 
Morgan  by  Duplex  Hal.  She  took  three  straight 
heats  with  Capeo  by  Oronto  second,  and  Cricket 
third.  Best  time  2:22*.  Joe  Younger  took  the  2:19 
pace  in  straight  heats  the  same  day,  2:191  being  the 
fastest. 

The  free-for-all  pace  on  the  opening  day  was  alively 
betting  race.  Stranger  O  2:08*  had  been  picked  to 
beat  Wiofield  Stratton  2:05|  in  this  race  but  the  Sara- 
way  horBe  had  an  easy  time  winning  in  2:181  the  time 
of  the  fastest  beat. 

Three  or  four  running  races  each  day  filled  out  the 
program. 

Denver  Driving  Club. 

The  firBt  half  holiday  races  of  the  season  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Gentlemen's  Driving  and  Riding  Club 
of  Denver  were  held  last  Saturday  afternoon  on  the 
City  park  track  and  were  in  every  way  a  perfect 
success.  The  feature  of  the  afternoon  was  the  1:11 
pace,  won  by  J.  A.  Burnett's  horse,  Larry  Wilkes,  in 
1:08$.  All  of  the  events  were  won  in  straight  heats.

New  Stallion  Law  in  Wisconsin. 


Racing  at  Albuquerque. 

The  mixed  race  meeting  held  at  Albuquerque,  New 
Mexico  was  a  success  financially  aad  otherwise. 
Racing  continued  for  four  days  with  an  attendance 
averaging  nearly  four  thousand.  It  began  on  the 
28th  of  May  and  ended  May  31st. 

The  2:13  pace,  for  a  purse  of  $1000  was  decided  on 
the  opening  day,  and  won  by  Mr.  G.  H.  Easterbrooks' 
mare  Floradora.  Second  money  went  to  Selden 
WilkeB  owned  by  J.  H.  Hogan  of  Lob  Angeles.  The 
best  time  was  2:20. 


The  new  bill  passed  by  the  Legislature  of  Wisconsin, 
calling  for  the  registration  of  stallions  standing  fer 
public  service,  comeB  into  effect  on  January  1,  next 
year.  In  commenting  on  the  features  of  the  new  bill 
the  Horseman  of  Chicago  says: 

"This  is  the  first  piece  of  legislation  of  this  nature 
pasBed  by  any  State  in   the  Union,  although  similar 
bills  have  been  advocated  by   breeders   in   other  sec- 
tions. The  bill  is  liberal  in  its  provisions,  as  certificates 
can  be  secured  for  cross  bred  and   grade  stallione,  as 
well  as,  of  course,  pure  bred  stallionB  found  in  the  stud 
books  recognized  by  the  United    States  Government. 
This  does  not  debar  any  stallion  because  of  its  blood 
lines,  but  the  owners  of  other  than  registered  animals 
have  to  prove  the  breeding  of  their   horses,  which  is 
given  in  full  in  the  certificate  of  registration.     Under 
this  law  it  will  not  be  possible  for  owners   to   swindle 
the  farmerB  and  other  breeders  with  'fake'  pedigrees. 
It  will  Dot  be  possible  for  a  stallion  to   secure  a  cer- 
tificate unless  the  horse  is  free   from   hereditary,  con- 
tagious or  transmissible  unsoundness.  It  is  unfortunate 
that  any  breeder  should  attempt  to  foist  an  unsound 
stallion  on  the  public,  and  it  is  probable  that  there 
are  few  instances  in  which  this  is  attempted,  but   for 
the  protection  of  innocent  partieB  it  is  certainly  a  wise 
move  on   the  part    of  the  State.     From   the  liberal 
manner  in  which  the  bill  is  drawn.it  does  not  seem 
that  any  reputable  stallion  owner  can  take  exception, 
although  it  is  possible  that  the  owner  of  some  good 
trotter  may  regret  that  he  did  not  register  his  horse. 
If  there  are  any  such   tbey   will   find   that   they   will 
have  to   register  their  stallions  as   'grade'  or  'crOBS 
bred.'  This  would  be  unfortunate,  but  the  blame  would 
properly  lie  with  the  breeder  who  had   neglected   his 
plain  duty,  and  unfortunately  at  the  time  immediately 
following  the  'busting  of  the  boom'  there  were   many 
of  this  type.    It  is  in  the  power  of  the  officials  of  the 
National  and  American  TrottiDg  Associations   to  en- 
force a  more  complete  registration    than   is  now  the 
case,  and  in  the  absence  of   proper  action   by   these 
powers  the  adoption  of  the  Wisconsin  law  by  the 
other  States  would  result  in  this  much  to  be  desired 
action  on  the  part  of  breeders  of  trotting  horseB." 


Races  at  Salt  Lake. 

The  Utah  Racing  Association  of  which  Mr  W.  S. 
Jones  is  manager  gave  a  program  of  races  on  May 
30th,  that  was  attended  by  3500  persons.  The  weather 
was  fine;  the  half  mile  track  in  fair  order,  and  the 
crowd  pleased  with  the  races.  The  track  record  was 
lowered  to  2:14  in  the  first  heat  of  the  free-for-all,  by 
that  fast  mare  Laura  Spurr,  driven  by  Mr.  F.  B. 
Loomis,  who  came  from  Denver  to  drive  her.  The 
summary  of  the  day's  harness  racing  follows:

A  Cheap  Bit  Poor  Economy. 

If  owners  would  only  lay  out  a  little  more  money 
in  the  purchase  of  bits  there  would  be  fewer  bad 
mouthB  and  more  comfort  amongst  the  horses,  says 
an  Eastern  writer.  As  it  is,  most  people  appear  to  be 
wedded  to  one  pattern  of  bit,  and  if  so  are  extremely 
disinclined  to  adopt  any  other.  The  result  is  that  the 
manners  and  mouths  of  their  horses  are  permanently 
injured,  and  accidents  occur  which  might  otherwise 
have  been  avoided.  If  horse  owners,  breakers  and 
stud  grooms  would  only  remember  that  there  is  a  vast 
difference  in  mouths,  and  many  a  horse  is  driven  with 
wrong  bits,  when  with  others  money  could  be  saved 
and  many  an  equine  reputation  would  be  spared.  It 
by  no  means  follows  that  a  horse  which  pulls  will  lose 
the  habit  if  he  is  driven  in  a  severe  bit— very  often  it 
is  just  the  reverse;  and  therefore  the  study  of  their 
horses  mouths  Bhould  be  the  care  of  every  owner.

The  Boston  Work  Horse  Parade. 


The  third  annual  parade  of  the  Boston  Work  Horse 
Parade  Association  took  place  on  Memorial  Day  and 
was  an  immense  suecess.  There  were  over  800  horses 
in  line  including  about  a  dozen  four-in-hands  and  one 
six  in  hand.  Every  kind  of  workhorse  was  repre- 
sented and  they  were  distributed  in  classes  according 
to  the  occupation  of  the  owners.  The  parade  was 
headed  by  a  representation  of  the  Boston  fire  depart- 
ment, and  next  came  two  classes  for  old  horses,  the 
first  being  for  horses  that  bad  served  for  fifteen  yearB, 
and  the  second  for  those  that  had  served  for  ten  years 
or  more,  and  less  than  fifteen.  These  classes  brought 
out  a  surprising  number  of  well-preserved  veterans 
with  rounded  bodies  and  shining  coats.  A  large 
number  of  prizes  and  ribbons  were  distributed  and 
also  gold  and  silver  medalB  contributed  by  the  Society 
for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to  Animals,  by  the 
Animal  Rescue  League  and  by  Red  Acre  Farm,  a 
charitable  home  for  horses  established  near  Boston. 
Bronze  medals  were  also  awarded  to  driverB  who  had 
served  their  present  employers  for  twenty  years  or 
more,  and  the  silver  medal  to  the  driver  longest  in 
service,  his  term  amounting  to  forty  yearB.  This 
annual  parade  is  now  firmly  established  in  Boston, 
and  all  observers  testify  that  it  has  had  a  perceptible 
effect  in  improving  the  condition  and  treatment  of 
the  workhorses. 


The  Greatest  Broodmares. 


The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  is  in  receipt  of  a  neat  32-page 
booklet  from  the  Wells  Medicine  Co.,  Lafayette,  Ind  ,  entitud 
"Veterinary  Pointers  for  Pracilcal  Horsemen."  telling  about 
some  of  the  common  diseases  of  horses  and  how  to  cure  them  The 
booklet  also  contains  tesllmODlals  from  many  leading  horsemen 
as  to  the  virtue  of  "Craft's  Distemper  &  Cough  Cure."  made  by 
the  Wells  Medicine  Co  and  advertised  In  our  columns  Readers 
who  are  at  all  interested  in  horses  oannot  afford  to  miss  getting 
ibis  valuable  llltie  book.  It  only  costs  a  postal  card  and  will 
prove  a  valuable  possession.    Write  for  a  copy  today. 

Secretary  Murray  Howe  puts  the  pacers  on  an  equal 
basis  with  the  trotters  for  the  two  early  closing  stakes 
at  Memphis  by  offering  $6000  each  for  2:15  trotters 
and  2:10  pacers.     These  events  close  July  1. 


In  a  recent  issue  of  the  Horse  Breeder  '  Griffin" 
presents  a  table  of  the  "very  great"  broodmares,  list- 
ing those  who  have  produced  seven  or  more  standard 
performers.  He  finds  a  total  of  thirty-four,  which  is 
a  magnificent  array  to  say  the  least.  Of  this  number 
twelve,  Beautiful  Bells,  Green  Mountain  Maid,  Eme- 
llne,  Sontag  Mohawk,  Hattie  R.,  Delta,  Minnehaha, 
Alma  Mater,  Chestnut  Belle,  Crepon,  Eva  and  Belle 
of  Clarence  produced  no  foals  that  took  standard 
pacing  records.  And  of  the  twelve,  the  Red  WilkeB 
mare,  Chestnut  Belle,  one  of  the  famous  matrons  at 
Walnut  Hall  Farm,  in  Kentucky,  stands  at  the  head 
a»  a  producer  of  speed,  her  seven  performers  baying 
records  that  average  2.17.357.  Taking  both  trotters 
and  pacers  into  consideration  the  leader  of  the  thirty- 
four  is  the  Alcantara  mare  Bertha,  dam  of  Don  Derby 
2:04^,  whose  six  performerB,  one  with  a  record  at  both 
gaits,  the  otherB  pacers,  have  records  tbat  average 
2  12  906.  Nell,  the  Estill  Eric  mare  that  produced 
Bl'U  Vera  2:08},  Tom  Axworthy  2:08$,  and  six  others, 
one  with  a  double  record,  is  second  with  an  average 
of  2:15}.

The  first  car  load  of  new  hay  of  the  crop  of  1905, 
was  received  in  this  city  last  week.  It  was  cut  in  San 
Benito  county  and  shipped  here  by  the  Lathrop  Hay 
Company.  

Bon  Voyage  stepped  a  quarter  in  30  seconds  for  Ted 
Hayes  since  reaching  Denver.  If  this  colt  stays  right 
it  will  take  a  very  fast  one  to  head  him  in  the  three- 
year-old  stakes  this  years. 

Frank  P.  Kennev,  the  genial  young  Kentuckian  who 
was  associated  with  E,  J.  Tranter  in  the  well-known 
"Kid-Kombination,"  has  signed  with  the  Blair-Baker 
Sale  Co.,  Indianapolis,  Ind. 


Miss  Georgie  2:11}  by  McKinney,  dam  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes,  stepped  a  workout  mile  in  2:12  last  week  at 
Denver,  This  mare  will  get  into  the  2:10  list  this 
season  if  no  bad  luck  attends  her. 


The  popular  Chicago  horseman  and  writer,  Magnus 
Flaws,  is  acting  as  presiding  judge  in  the  New  Mexico- 
Colorado  Circuit.  He  opened  at  Albuquerque  and 
takes  in  Las  Vegas,  Trinidad,  Denver  and  Pueblo. 


Delia  McCarthy  the  McKinney  mare  that  Jerry 
Doran  sold  to  Mr.  Easterbrook  of  Denver  has  won  two 
races  and  taken  a  record  of  2:25  in  New  Mexico.  She 
is  McKinney's  first  new  standard  performer  for  1905. 


And  now  the  owner  of  Belle  Mc  2:04},  W.  R.  Porter, 
Pittsburg.  Pa  ,  wants  to  get  in  the  Audubon  Boy  2:03} 
—  Ecstatic  2:05}  match  at  Readville  or  in  the  three- 
cornered  even^  between  these  two  and  Hazel  Patch

Helen  Norte  2:16*  trotted  an  easy  mile  in  2:14  at 
Denver  last  Saturday.  This  mare  has  been  entered 
In  several  events  at  the  Denver  meeting  by  her  owner 
Judge  Thos.  H.  Brents  of  Walla  Walla,  and  will  be 
raced  on  the  Grand  Circuit. 


The  sensational  young  mare  Lady  Mowry  by  Mc- 
Kinney 2:11),  out  of  a  Nutwood  Wilkes  mare  has 
worked  a  mile  In  2:17*  with  a  half  in  1:06*  for  Wm. 
Cecil  at  the  San  Jose  track  and  from  the  way  she 
works  will  trot  close  to  2:10  this  fall. 

The  handsome  little  Zomoro  mare  Lady  Zombro  is 
roundirg  Into  form  a?aln  after  a  short  let  up  and  last 
week  at  San  Jdse  trotted  a  mile  in  2:14*  with  the  last 
end  of  it  at  a  2:08  gait.  She  will  be  started  at  Los 
Angeles  before  Mr.  Hodges  takes  her  to  Detroit. 


Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson's  good  mare  Princess  2:14  by 
Eugeeneer  should  get  some  of  the  money  this  year  as 
is  her  usual  custom.  This  mare  has  the  same  habit 
of  reducing  her  record  every  year  that  was  a  peculiar- 
ity of  the  pacing  mare  Dictatress  2:08},  also  bred  and 
owned  by  Mr.  Iverson,  and  sold  by  him  last  year. 

Among  the  animals  that  passed  th-ough  the  Fasjg- 
Tipton  Boston  sale  last  month  were  the  two  Palo  Alto 
bred  mareB  Exione  and  Monatine.  The  first  named 
is  three  years  old  and  by  Exioneer,  out  of  Adbuta  by 
Advertiser.  She  brought  $235.  Monatine  is  seven 
years  old  and  by  Mendocino,  out  of  Palatine  by  Palo 
Alto,  and  $375  was  the  sum  she  brought. 

The  cirouit  which  opened  at  Fort  Collins,  May  22d, 
has  been  quite  successful  so  far.  After  the  opening 
meeting  the  horses  went  to  Albuquerque  and  thence 
to  Las  Vegas,  where  they  have  been  racing  this  week. 
The  next  meetings  will  be  at  Trinidad  and  Colorado 
Springs,  the  Denver  meetine  opening  next  Saturday, 
June  17th.  There  has  been  large  attendance  and 
good  betting  so  far  on  the  circuit. 

Mr.  E.  C.  Peart,  the  well  known  merchant  of  Colusa, 
who  has  been  engaged  in  breeding  harneBS  horses  on 
a  small  scale  for  several  years  and  always  greatly 
interested  in  them,  is  contemplating  having  an  auction 
sale  at  Colusa,  August  9th.  He  will  catalogue  fourteen 
head  for  this  sale,  among  them  his  stallion  Diawood 
2:11  by  Diablo.  Mr.  Peart  owns  some  fine  colts  and 
fillies  by  McNeer  a  son  of  McKinney. 

In  matching  horses  for  a  team,  similarity  in  color 
and  markings  is  not  so  much  an  essential  thing  nowa- 
days as  in  getting  a  pair  together  that  are  alike  in 
action,  spirit,  and  speed.  This  is  not  because  of  any 
inate  fancy  for  mismatched  pairs  in  color  but  because 
of  the  great  pleasure  and  comfort  in  driving  two 
horses  that  travel  as  one.  Size,  style  and  speed  go 
with  the  other  qualifications.  It  is  well  and  good  if 
likeness  in  color  can  be  obtained  but  those  matching 
horses  should  not  wait  on  this  if  the  other  things  are 
right.  ^^__^_i 

Ed  A.  Tipton,  head  of  the  noted  sales  firm  of  Fasig- 
Tipton,  predicts  the  greatest  famine  in  trotters  with- 
in the  next  few  years  that  this  country  has  ever 
known.  His  reason  for  this  prediction  is  that  nearly 
all  the  establishments  which  bred  trotters  and  pacers 
on  an  extensive  scale  have  quit  the  business,  while 
comparatively  few  new  ones  have  been  started,  so 
that  where  there  were  ten  large  trotting  breeding  es- 
tablishments a  few  years  ago  there  is  not  more  than 
one  today,  and  the  number  is  diminishing  every  year. 
This  condition  is  sure  to  cause  an  advance  in  prices  of 
good  horses.  

The  announcement  is  made  -that  the  usual  Grand 
Circuit  trotting  meeting  at  the  Empire  track  would 
not  be  held  this  year.  The  consensus  of  opinion 
among  local  followers  of  harness  racing  seems  to  be 
that  interference  with  public  betting  at  the  Empire 
track  was  expected,  hence  the  abandonment  of  the 
Grand  Circuit  meeting.  Just  why  betting  at  the 
Empire  Trotting  meeting  should  be  interfered  with, 
while  at  the  running  meetings  over  a  hundred  book- 
makers are  allowed  to  ply  their  trade  unmolested,  is 
one  of  those  strange  conditions  which  it  is  hard  for  an 
outsider  to  understand. 

There  is  a  coal  black  pacer  owned  by  E.  A.  Grigsby, 
of  Napa,  that  some  resident  of  San  Francisco  should 
buy  to  drive  over  the  park  roads.  This  pacer  is  a 
gelding,  stands  fifteen  and  a  half  hands,  five  years 
old,  sound  and  all  right,  and  a  perfect  beauty.  He  is 
absolutely  fearless,  kind  and  gentle  and  has  been 
driven  for  a  year  by  a  lady.  He  has  lots  of  speed  but 
was  never  trained  on  a  track.  He  is  standard  bred, 
his  sire  and  dam  both  being  registered.  A  big  price 
is  not  asked  for  this  horse,  and  we  suggest  to  any  of 
our  readers  who  want  a  good  one  that  they  write  Mr. 
Grigsby  at  Napa  for  further  particulars. 

At  the  opening  of  the  Gravesend  running  meeting 
the  admission  fee  was  raised,  the  men  being  required 
to  put  up  $3,  to  get  into  the  stand,  while  the  women 
had  to  pay  $1  50.  The  former  prices  were  $2  and  $1, 
consequently  the  smallast  crowd  that  has  witnessed 
the  running  of  the  Brooklyn  Handicap  in  a  number  of 
years  was  in  attendance  and  the  attendance  since  has 
been  much  lighter  than  usual.  The  increase  in  the 
price  of  admission,  it  is  said,  is  the  direct  result  of  the 
prominence  in  racing  which  the  betting  angle  has 
assumed  and  the  directors  of  the  associations  believe 
that  the  new  order  will  be  a  benefit  to  the  sport, 


Capt.  Bennett's  chestnut  gelding  Doctor  Hammond 
2:12}  by  Charles  Derby  Is  working  In  great  shape  this 
season  and  is  showing  all  his  old  time  speed.  Last 
Saturday  at  San  Jose  he  trotted  a  mile  in  2:18  with 
the  last  half  of  It  in  1:04  in  pretty  handy  fashion. 


U.J  Roams  has  purchased  from  Emll  Hollings  of 
Sulsun,  the  fast  pacer,  Ringrose  by  Fal rose,  that  he 
has  byen  training  at  Dixon  track.  Mr.  Reamsentered 
Ringrose  In  the  2:20  class  pace  at  Los  Angeles  and 
will  i^nter  him  at  other  meetings  on  the  California 
circuit.  

One  of  the  best  bred  McKlnneys  In  training  Is  the 
stallion  Klnmont  that  Is  to  be  raced  on  the  Cali- 
fornia circuit  this  year  by  Will  Durfee.  He  is  out  of 
Beulah  by  Altamont,  and  she  a  full  Bister  to  Chehalls 
2:01},  Del  Norto  2:08,  etc.,  being  out  of  that  great 
broodmare  Tecora,  dam  of  eight  In  the  list. 


The  X  I  T  ranch  in  the  panhandle  of  Texas  has 
purchased  four  Clydesdale  stallions  in  Canada  for  use 
on  the  ranch  mares.  The  company  has  also  purchased 
six  thoroughbred  stallions  which  are  big-boned,  large- 
bodied,  rugged  individuals  from  which  it  is  hoped  to 
breed  superior  cow  ponies  and  not  a  few  carriage 
horses.  

One  of  the  best  prospects  in  California  at  thepresent 
time  is  said  to  be  the  bay  mare  Blanch  T.  that  S.  C. 
Tryon  is  training  at  Woodland.  She  is  a  daughter  of 
the  stallion  Stickle,  owned  by  Geo.  Stickle  of  Angels. 
Stickle  is  by  Silver  Bow  2:16  out  of  the  great  brood- 
mare Grace  by  Buccaneer,  that  is  the  dam  of  Daeda- 
lion  2:10,  Creole  2:15.  etc.  The  dam  of  Blanch  T.  is  a 
mare  by  Colonel  K.  R.  2:19J  a  son  of  Bay  Rose  2:20. 


Nearly  olovon  thousand  dollars  has  been  hung  up 
by  the  Stale  Agricultural  Soolety  for  trotting  and 
pacing  races  at  the  State  Pair  this  year,  exclusive  of 
the  Occident,  Stanford  and  Stallion  Stakes  which  are 
rich  trotting  events  for  three-year-olds.  The  first 
meeting  over  the  new  track  should  be  a  great  success. 
Entiles  will  close  July  10th. 


F.  E.  Mulholland,  the  well  known  writer  on  sporting 
topics  for  the  Call,  will  leave  for  Denver  today  where 
he  will  officiate  as  presiding  judge  during  the  meeting 
at  Overland  Park.  After  the  Denver  meeting  Mr. 
Mulholland  will  go  to  Portland  to  start  the  runners 
during  the  meeting  at  Irvington  Park.  "Mull"  can 
wield  the  flag  or  the  pen  in  an  expert  manner  and  is 
always  fair.  As  a  judge  he  is  a  success  as  he  is  honest 
and  knows  the  game. 


The  Utah  Racing  Association,  at  Salt  Lake  City, 
are  out  with  their  program  for  a  meeting  on  Ju  y 
24-29,  with  purses  aggregating  $12,000.  The  free-fi  r 
all  pace  and  2:14  pace  are  for  $1000  each,  and  the  fol- 
lowing are  scheduled  at  $500  each:  2:22  trot,  2:12  trot, 
2:30  pace,  2:20  pace,  2:34  trot,  2:08  pace,  2:18  pace,  2:23 
pace,  2:24  trot,  free-for-all  trot.  Salt  Lake  is  in  the 
Western  Racing  Association,  which  opened  at  Fort 
Collins,  Col.,  May  22. 


C.  A.  Stanton,  San  Jose,  Western  Agent  for  the 
Iowa  firm  of  Singmaster  &  Sons  received  a  cable  last 
week  that  his  firm  had  just  purchased  another  big 
lot  of  high  class  heavy  horseB  in  Europe  and  that  they 
were  the  be6t  that  they  have  ever  been  able  to  buy. 
Mr.  Stanton  has  had  great  success  handling  high  class 
Percherons  and  coachers  and  breeders  on  the  Coast 
will  be  pleased  to  learn  that  he  will  soon  have  another 
big  supply  of  this  kind  ready  for  their  inspection. 

C.  A.  Spencer  and  A.  C.  Stevens  appeared  before 
the  Board  of  Supervisors  Tuesday  in  behalf  of  a 
county  fair  proposed  for  Yolo  this  fall.  It  is  proposed 
that  there  be  a  raciDg  program  and  a  stock  show  at 
the  fair,  and  Messrs.  Spencer  and  Stevens  asked  the 
board  for  an  appropriation.  The  supervisors  agreed 
that  they  would  at  the  proper  time  lend  their  sup- 
port to  the  extent  of  $1000,  to  he  used  for  premiums 
for  Yolo  county  stock  only.  The  fact  that  no  pre- 
miums on  stock  can  go  from  this  appropriation  to 
outside  entrieB  should  be  a  great  incentive  to  stock 
owners  of  the  county,  and  a  good  exhibition  will  no 
doubt  be  made. — Woodland  Mail. 


Dan  Leiginger,  proprietor  of  the  Sawyer  House,  in 
this  city,  took  a  trip  to  San  Lorenzo  on  Sunday  last 
and  reported  the  new  track  there  as  being  in  fine 
shape.  Every  stall  is  occupied  and  many  horses  are 
being  worked  out  daily.  The  veteran  horseman  P.  J. 
Williams  is  in  charge  and  has  quite  a  string  in  train- 
ing. His  stallion  Monterey  2:09}  never  looked  better 
in  his  life.  He  has  made  quite  a  season  this  year,  but 
looks  to  be  in  condition  to  break  his  record  this  fall  if 
put  in  training.  Mr.  Williams  contemplates  giving 
races  at  the  track  on  the  4th  of  July,  and  if  the  sug- 
gestion meets  the  approval  of  horsemen  a  program 
will  be  arranged.  

Alta  Axworthy  (3)  2:10J  made  her  first  start  abroad 
at  Vienna  on  the  second  oay  of  the  summer  meeting, 
the  first  week  in  May.  She  finished  fourth  to  Marvel 
Girl  2:23},  driven  by  Andy  MoDowell.  Marvel  Girl  is 
also  a  member  of  the  Winans'  stable,  and  started  from 
scratch.  The  distance  waB  2600  meterB.  time  4:007  10. 
Behind  Alta  Axworthy  were  Lord  Revelstoke  2:12}, 
Katherine  A.  2:14  and  others.  On  May  5,  Andy  Mc- 
Dowell won  the  Prince  Warwick  4000  kronen  prize  for 
three-year-olds  with  Leverlte,  by  E.  L  Robinson 
2:17iJ .  It  was  the  greatest  race  ever  trotted  by 
European-bred  three  year-olds,  the  time  for  the  2600 
meters  being  3:57  2-10. 


The  New  York  State  Fair  which  is  held  at  Syracuse 
has  a  big  entry  list  to  its  harnesB  races  this  year.  The 
names  of  thirty  different  nominators,  representing 
thirty-two  horseB,  appear  in  the  list  of  subscriptions 
to  the  $10,000  purse  for  2:14  class  for  trotters,  includ- 
ing about  every  stable  of  prominence  in  the  country, 
and  representing  the  fastest  horses  in  training.  The 
2:15  class  for  pacerB  has  twenty-seven  nominators  and 
twenty-eight  horses;  the  2:09  class  for  pacers,  twenty 
nominators  and  twenty-three  horses,  and  the  2:09 
class  for  trotters,  eighteen  nominators  and  twenty 
horses.  This  success  is  wholly  deserved,  for  the  State 
Fair  people  have  offered  a  program  that  will  rank 
with  any  in  the  Grand  Circuit. 


In  a  recent  issue  the  Boston  Breeder  says  that  the 
four  stallions  which  rank  highest  as  eires  and  perpe- 
trators of  standard  speed,  of  any  that  have  ever 
lived,  basing  their  rank  upon  the  number  Bired  by 
themselves  and  their  sons  and  also  the  number  pro- 
duced by  their  daughters  are:  George  Wilkes  with 
3034  to  his  credit,  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian  with  1870, 
Electioneer  1560,  and  Nutwood  1319.  Then  come,  in

A  Pool  Room  That  Cannot  Be  Raided. 


Detroit,  May  30 — The  floating  poolroom,  which 
seemed  at  one  time  about  to  be  established  in  the 
waters  about  New  York,  is  a  reality  bere. 

It's  anchored  in  the  Detroit  river,  near  Belle  Isle, 
the  city's  park,  and  is  doing  a  rushing  business. 

Whether  it's  in  federal  waters,  Canadian  waters, 
Btate  waters  or  neutral  waters  hasn't  yet  been  decided, 
and  the  promoter  isn't  trying  to  find  out. 

William  Considine  is  the  renu ted  skipper  of  the  ship, 
which  is  the  old  ferryboat  Badger  State,  overhauled 
to  meet  requirements. 

The  upper  deck  is  "canvassed"  in  and  makes  a 
commodious  poolroom,  with  blackboards,  operators 
and  ali  the  other  necessary  equipment. 

Information  is  received  by  the  wireless  syBtem,  the 
operator  standing  on  a  bridge  and  directing  the  board- 
makers.

final  touches  and  will  also  be  started  during  the  July 
meeting  there  before  shippingto  Windsor  and  Detroit 
Most  of  his  horses  are  well  along  in  their  work  and

Progress  in  Speed. 

It  was  not  long  ago  when  the  horse  that  could  trot 
a  mile  in  three  minutes  was  a  top-notcher.  When  we 
are  now  with  the  two-minute  trotter  we  can  scarcely 
realize  the  rapid  evolution  of  speed  that  has  developed 
year  after  year  since  18i8,  when  the  best  time  was 
three  minutes,  Bays  the  American  Sportsman.  Since 
Columbus  discovered  us  in  ]492,  as  the  virgin  land  of 
Indians,  rattlesnakes,  buffalo  and  bear,  we  had  never 
had  a  trotting  race  for  money  or  blood  up  to  1818.  In 
the  summer  of  1818  a  horse  of  unknown  pedigree, 
named  Boston  Blue,  trotted  a  mile  on  Long  Island,  a 
trifle  below  three  minutes  for  a  wager  of  $1000,  made 
by  Major  William  Jones  of  Long  Island,  and  Col.  Bond 
of  Maryland.  Both  these  gentlemen,  as  will  be  noted, 
had  military  titles,  as  this  was  only  a  few  years  after 
the  war  of  the  Revolution,  and  anybody  who 
amounted  to  anything  had  a  military  title  and  was 
a  horseman. 

When  thetrotting  game  first  started  the  stretch  was 
always  for  long  distance,  usually  from  five  to  eight 
mileB.  It  was  1830  before  the  distance  was  reduced  to  one 
mile.  The  first  record  of  value,  when  sensational 
time  was  made,  was  in  1834  on  Long  Island,  when 
Edwin  Forrest  beat  Sally  Muller  in  the  unprecedented 
time  of  2:31$.  After  this,  a  whole  generation  of  men 
had  elapsed  before  a  trotter  appeared  to  be  classed 
in  any  sense  with  the  extreme  speed  trotterB  of  to-day. 
It  was  at  Buffalo  early  in  August,  1867,  that  Dexter, 
the  greatest  and  fastest  of  the  get  of  Hambletonian  10, 
made  his  sensational  mile  2:17};  where  Robt.  Bonner 
bought  him  for  $35,000,  then  considered  a  fabulous 
sum  for  a  trotter. 

The  few  mile  tracks  in  those  days  were  probably 
from  four  to  six  seconds  slower  than  the  best  mile 
ringB  of  today,  and  the  sulkies  at  least  five  seconds 
Blower.  Hence,  everything  considered,  Dexter  is 
entitled  to  high  rank  among  sensational  trotters. 
Dexter  pulled  a  heavy  high-wheel  friction  axle  sulky 
weighing  125  pounds. 

Dexter  was  at  his  best  when  eight  years  old.  And 
we  are  not  far  away  from  Dexter.  He  did  not  die 
until  April,  1888.  Hence  it  was  only  sixteen  years 
from  the  last  of  Dexter  to  the  first  of  Lou  Dillon. 
And  he  is  a  sure  prophet  who  predicts  that  we  are 
still  growing  in  speed  evolution. 


Two  M.  &  M.  candidates  beat  2:14  in  their  work  at 
Memphis  last  week.  One  of  them  was  F.  G  Jones' 
mare  Clarita  W.  by  Grattan,  who  worked  in  2:13$  for 
Geers  and  the  other  was  Watson  a  son  of  Hinder 
Wilkes  and  trained  by  J.  F.  Wickersham.  He  worked 
a  mile  in  the  same  notch.  Clarita  W.  trotted 
in  2:07},  with  a  half  in  1 :02  last  year  and  will  probably 
be  the  favorite  for  the  big  race  at  Detroit. 


The  good  trotting  mare  Precision  2:10}  by  Allerton 
2:09}  has  been  retired  and  bred  to  Klatawah  2:05$  and 
it  is  claimed  by  her  owners  that  she  is  the  best  bred 
mare  living  with  so  fast  a  rpcord.  She  is  out  of  Precise 
by  Nutwood,  second  dam  Prefix  (dam  of  PriDce  of 
India  2:13},  Liberty  Bell  2:24.  etc.)  by  Pancoast,  third 
dam  Galatea  by  Messenger  Durnc,  fourth  dam  Hy- 
acinth (great  hroodmarp)  by  Volunteer,  fifth  dam 
Clara  (dam  of  Dexter  2:17},  Dictator,  etc.) 


An  Associated  PreBS  dispatch  from  Detroit  states 
that  Judge  Rohnert  in  the  WayneClrcuitCourt,  May 
25,  notified  the  attorneys  in  a  suit  brought  by  the 
Union  Trust  Company  of  Detroit  to  foreclose  a 
mortgage  on  the  property  of  the  Detroit  Driving  Club, 
including  the  well  known  Grosse  Pointe  race  track, 
that  he  would  order  the  property  Bold  at  auction.  The 
Driving  Club  property  bas  been  in  litigation  for 
several  years.  The  Union  Trust  Company  brought  a 
Buit  to  foreclose  a  trust  mortgage  givt  n  to  secure  $65,  - 
000  worth  of  boods  The  property  haB  for  some  time 
been  under  the  control  of  D.  J.  Campau  of  Detroit  as 
receiver. 


Tom  Axworthy  2:08},  trotted  a  mile  in  2:13$  for 
Millard  Sanders  at  Memphis  the  other  day  and  he 
acted  as  though  it  was  only  play  for  him.  Millard 
haB  this  horse  in  apple  pie  order  and  anyone  seeing 
Tom  work  cannot  help  being  impressed  with  him.  He 
is  slated  for  a  verv  fast  record  but  up  to  date  Millard 
has  not  quite  set  the  mark  just  where  he  expects  to 
see  him  step.  He  says  he  thinks  he  will  be  the  equal 
if  not  the  superior  of  any  horse  raced  for  the  money 
this  year.  

The  record-breaking  ringer  Fred  Wilton  2:09},  who 
has  traveled  under  innumerable  aliases  and  been  ex- 
pelled almost  semi-annually  for  the  past  four  or  five 
years,  is  again  the  hero  of  a  mystery.  Last  winter  he 
was  sold  at  auction  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  later  it  was 
reported  he  was  shipped  to  Windsor,  Ont  ,  consigned 
to  Elihu  Wigle,  and  died  there  in  January.  There  is 
some  doubt,  however,  as  to  the  true  identity  of  the 
horse  that  died,  and  ooe  man,  Arthur  Brown,  a  horse 
dealer  of  Lexington,  Ont.,  has  already  been  arrested 
in  connection  with  the  case. 


Commerce  Depends  on  the  Horse. 

It  had  needed  only  the  great  teamsterB'  strike  in 
Chicago  to  show  the  absolute  dependence  of  com- 
merce on  the  horse.  Granted  even  the  horse  in  full 
flesh  and  working  order  and  no  one  to  drive  him  and 
the  wheels  of  business  cease  to  revolve,  the  great 
merchants  are  hampered  and  untold  loss  results.  The 
people  who  a  few  years  ago  predicted  so  lustily  the 
abolishment  of  the  horse  should  take  note  of  the 
present  situation.  Great  merchandising  firms  must 
get  in  and  get  out  many  loads  of  goods  daily  if  their 
business  is  to  prosper.  Countless  merchants  and 
private  individuals  outside  the  city  depend  daily  on 
these  houses  for  supplies.  Without  the  horse  none  is 
delivered,  nor  can  it  be  delivered.  The  world  must 
bow  down  to  the  horse  as  the  great  motive  power  in 
city  streets.  It  is  curious,  too,  how  far  reaching  is 
the  influence  of  the  inability  of  merchants  in  Chicago 
to  utilize  their  team  power.  The  lumber  drivers  in 
Chicago  went  out.  The  steam  and  sailing  shipsladen 
with  lumber  in  the  Chicago  river  remained  unloaded. 
Immediately  the  wires  carried  the  information  to  the 
far  Northern  shipping  points  not  to  send  on  any  more 
wood.  That  meant  stagnation  at  such  places  loss  of 
work  to  many  men — even  to  the  sailors.  Boats  are 
temporarily  out  of  commission.  Wages  are  not  being 
earned  1000  miles  away  from  Chicago  simply  because 
the  men  who  drive  horses  in  that  great  metropolis 
decline  to  work.  Verily,  the  place  of  the  horse  in 
commerce  has  finally  been  well  established. — Breeders

Cavalry  Horses. 

A  field  for  the  horse  breeder  to  cater  to  and  one 
which  does  not  require  the  work  in  detail  necessary 
to  produce  the  race  horse  or  the  show  horse  is  breed- 
ing the  cavalry  horse.  There  is  a  steady  demand  for 
horses  suitable  for  the  use  of  army  cavalry,  and 
horses  may  be  marketed  in  that  field  with  lessprepara- 
tion  than  in  must  branches  of  the  market.  For  cavalry 
use  buyers  prefer  geldings  and  bay,  brown  and  black 
are  the  colors  most  desired.  The  horse  must  be  with- 
out bad  habits,  a  good  walker  without  any  defects, 
have  an  amiable  disposition,  good  mouth  and  easy 
gait.  He  must  be  within  15  1  and  16  hands  high  and 
weigh  between  1000  and  1200  pounds.  The  regulation 
age  is  four  to  eight  years,  with  six  as  the  choice 
period.  He  must  be  of  good  conformation,  active  and 
enduring.  Prices  paid  forcavalry  horses  range  from 
$120  to  $150,  and,  as  before  stated,  they  are  market  d 
without  any  expensive  preparation  other  than  to  fit 
them  and  familiarize  them  with  the  saddle,  ss  the 
army  auth  oritles  prefer  to  train  the  horses  themselTea

A.  K.  C.  Quarterly  Meeting  Notes. 

The  regular  quarterly  meeting  of  the  American 
Kennel  Club  was  held  in  New  York  on  May  18,  1905. 
Vice-President  H.  H.  Hunnewell  presiding.  Mr.  R. 
P.  Keasby  represented  the  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club, 
Mr.  S.  C.  Mastics:  the  Oakland  Kennel  Club  and  James 
Watson  the  Seattle  Dog  Fanciers  Association. 

The  proceedings  of  the  Pacific  Advisory  Board 
appear  at  length  in  the  published  minutes  of  the  meet- 
ing and  from  which,  it  appears  that  the  following 
matters  of  interest  to  Coast  dogdom  have  been  adopted. 

At  the  April  meeting,  the  mail  vote  of  the  P.  A,  B. 
electing  the  Portland  Kennel  Club  to  A.  K.  C.  mem- 
bership was  confirmed. 

On  resolution  it  was  decided  that  no  further  steps 
be  taken  in  the  negotiations  with  the  Secretary  of  the 
Western  Kennel  League. 

Action  was  taken  to  have  the  Coast  clubs  keep  in 
touch  with  their  respective  A.  K.  C.  delegates  so  that 
the  latter  may  be  kept  informed  of  legislation  needed. 

The  Coast  A.  K.  C.  clubs  were  called  upon  to  ex- 
press individual  opinion  in  regard  to  the  putting  in 
foroe  the  concessions  granted  to  the  negotiator  for 
the  W.  K.  L.,  Mr.  N.  J.  Stewart,  and  to  express 
what,  if  any,  other  or  alterative  changes  would  be  de- 
sirable in  Coast  management  of  kennel  affairs. 

To  which  replies  were  received  as  follows: 

From  the  Seattle  Kennel  Club,  strongly  deprecat- 
ing the  granting  of  any  concessions,  and  expressing 
unqualified  satisfaction  with  the  present  management 
of  Pacific  Coast  Kennel  affairs  and  with  the  methods 
thereof. 

From  the  Portland  Kennel  Club,  expressing  identi- 
cal sentiments. 

From  the  San  Mateo  Kennel  Club,  expressing  opin- 
ions coincidental  with  the  foregoing. 

From  the  Oakland  Kennel  Club,  to  the  same  effect, 
and  criticising  strongly  the  policy  of  granting  such 
concessions. 

From  the  president  and  vice-president  of  the  San 
Francisco  Kennel  Club,  verbally  and  in  writing,  dis- 
claiming any  wish  to  put  such  concessions  into   foice. 

The  cancellation  of  the  win  of  the  Pointer  Mason 'b 
King  at  San  Mateo  show  will  stand  in  conformity  to 
the  rule  "that  the  exhibitor  is  compelled  to  abiae  by 
his  own  errors," 

The  disqualification  of  Frank  J.  Moore  and  other 
officials  of  the  Salem  Kennel  Club,  W .  K.  C.  (now  dis- 
banded), save  Frank  Turner  of  Victoria,  B.  C,  who 
acted  as  judge  has  been  removed.  Mr.  Moore  was 
endorsed  by  the  Portland  Kennel  Club  of  which  he  is 
a  member. 

The  application  of  A.  B.  Jackson,  secretary  of  the 
Spokane  Kennel  Club,  W.  K.  L.,  for  reinstatement 
was  refused  unless  accompanied  by  the  guarantee  of 
allegiance  to  the  American  Kennel  Club  such  as  would 
be  afforded  by  membership  in  a  club,  a  member  of  the 
American  Kennel  Club,  or  the  application  of  the 
Spokane  Kennel  Club  for  admission  to  the  American 
Kennel  Club  and  of  its  officers,  for  reinstatement  to 
good  standing  therein. 

Mr.  Jackson,  UDon  compliance  with  the  foregoing, 
was  reinstated  at  a  meeting  held  April  7th,  as  also 
was  Claude  D.  Bond  and  John  M.  Bunn. 

The  Spokane  Kennel  Cmb  and  the  South  Western 
Kennel  were  elected  to  membership  in  the  A.  K.  C. 

In  regard  to  an  A.  K.  C  disqualification  of  all  ex- 
hibitors at  shows  in  the  United  States  held  under 
other  than  A.  K.  C.  rules  the  P.  A.  B.  expressed  a 
Bentiment  adverse  to  the  further  application  of  the 
disqualification  clause  of  July  15,  that  it  be  made  ap- 
plicable only  to  judges  or  employes  of  shows  held  un- 
der other  then  A.  K.  C.  rules. 

At  the  meeting  held  March  27  the  officials  and 
members  of  the  oeattle  Kennel  Club  and  also  the  ex- 
hibitors at  the  Seattle  Kennel  Club  show  were  noti- 
fied of  paoding  disqualification  for  holding  and  par- 
ticipating in  a  show  at  Seattle  during  April,  1905,  un- 
der other  than  A.  K.  C   rules. 

This  disqualification  was  subsequently  imposed  by 
the  P.  A.  B.  on  April  18th: 

'The  official  catalogue  of  the  dog  show  of  the  Seattle 
Kennel  Club  being  laid  before  the  committee,  showing 
that  the  said  club  had  held  a  show  in  Seattle  on  April 
12,  13,  14  and  15,  1905,  under  rules  otber  than  those  of 
the  American  Kennel  Club,  in  contravention  of  the 
resolution  of  this  committee  passed  March  27,  1905,  it 
was  moved  and  seconded,  that  the  individuals  whose 
names  appear  in  said  catalogue  be  and  hereby  are  dis- 
qualified and  debarred  from  all  privileges  of  the  Amer- 
ican Kennel  Club,  according  to  the  resolution  in  such 
case  made  and  provided,  and  that  the  list  of  nanus 
hereto  attached  be  the  list  of  persons  so  disqualified 
and  constitute  an  integral  part  of  these  records  " 

At  the  meet'ng  held  April  18th,  preBent:  deRuyter, 
Chairman;  Carlton,  Burnbam,  Normao,  a  communi- 
cation was  read: 

"From  the  secretary  of  the  Pacifio  St.  Bernard 
Club,  alleging  that  D.  J.  St.  Clair  stated  to  the  secre- 
tary of  the  Pacific  St.  Bernard  Club  that  Chas.  New- 
man had  requested  Mr.  Olney,  of  Pleaianton,  to  allow 
the  Hilil  Newman  to  exhibit  Mr.  Olney's  St.  Bernard, 
Teddy  Roosevelt,  as  his  own:  that  he,  Newman,  had 
everything  'fixed  '  and  was  bound  to  win." 

On  motion,  the  letter  was  ordered  filed,  pending  the 
presentation  of  definite  charges,  supported  by  the 
peomsary  affidavits. 

"It  was  moved  and  seconded,  that,  whereas  the 
clubs  In  the  jurisdiction  of  thiB  oommlttee  who  were 


members  of  the  American  Kennel  Club  at  the  time 
that  the  said  concessions  were  made  have  unanimously 
and  unequivocally  expressed  their  desire  that  the  said 
concessions  be  not  granted  and  that  the  management 
of  Pacific  Coast  kennel  affairs  realm  in  statu  quo; 
therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  that  the  concessions  offered  to  Norman  J. 
Stewart,  not  having  been  accepted  by  the  clubs  of 
the  Western  Kennel  League,  be  and  hereby  are,  at 
the  unanimous  request  of  the  clubs  members  of  the 
American  Kennel  Club,  revoked  and  cancelled." 

Tbe  following  alteration  of  the  A  K.  C.  rules  was 
offered  by  Mr.  Marcel  Viti  at  the  A.  K.  C  quarterly 
meeting: 

"I  move  that  the  rules  shall  be  altered  so  as  to  read 
that  in  ca6e  of  tbe  date  of  closing  of  entrieB  falling 
within  the  dates  of  a  previous  show,  the  awards  at 
that  show  shall  not  be  counted.  Motion  seconded  and 
carried."

the  Rules  Committee  was  adopted,  amended  or  re- 
jected, as  follows: 

A  dog  is  eligible  for  registration  in  the  Stud  Book

Breeding  for  Field  Trial  and  Bench  Show  Form. 

Mr.  James  Cole  of  Kansas  City,  a  field  trial  en- 
thusiast and  breeder  of  English  Setters  who  is  well 
known  to  the  Coast  fancy,  in  a  communication  to  The 
American  Field,  touches  on  a  question  that  has  been 
recently  very  much  discussed — why  can  not  the  good 
field  trial  dog  be  also  a  good  bench  show  dog?  Lady 
Cole,  which  he  mentions,  is  a  bitch  we  have  Been  out 
here  and  one  thought  well  of  by  all  of  our  Setter 
fanciers  who  have  viewed  her.  Cole's  Black  Prince, 
first  winners  San  Jose,  1904  (Oakley  Hill-Lady  Cole) 
beat  Count  Rego,  and  was  also  looked  upon  as  a  fine 
type  of  a  Setter.  Mr.  Cole,  in  reply  to  queries  on  this 
subject,  and  from  the  standpoint  of  a  breeder  of 
English  Setters  that  have  been  placed  in  trials  and 
also  have  won  on  the  bench,  says: 

In  regard  to  my  Setters  and  my  object  in  breeding 
them  I  shall  have  to  tell  you  in  my  own  way.  In  the 
first  place  being  a  bench  show  man,  I  naturally  took 
great  intereBt  in  improving  tbe  appearance  of  the 
English  Setter,  as  I  noticed  that  field  trial  winnerB 
had  everything  to  recommend  them,  except  looks. 
Now,  I  was  of  the  opinion,  and  I  am  still  of  that 
opinion,  that  it  is  possible  to  produce  good  looking 
Setters  with  field  trial  quality  and  once  in  a  while  one 
of  very  high  class.  To  that  end  I  have  started  on  my 
journey  and  I  hope  to  live  long  enough  to  make  a 
name  conspicuous — one  who  hafiimproved  the  English 
Setter  from  a  bench  show  standpoint,  still  having  a 
dog  which  can  stand  almost  an  equal  chance  with  any 
of  the  strictly  bred  field  trial  ones.  I  am  of  the 
opinion  that  our  very  high  class  field  trial  winners  are 
the  result  of  individuality  more  than  from  the  direct 
field  trial  blood. 

In  order  to  prove  this,  i  say,  there  are  many  litters 
of  field  trial  bred  oneB  which  will  not  average  as  good 
all  through  as  litters  I  have  raised  from  Lady  Cole, 
but  one  of  whose  progeny,  to  my  knowleege,  has  bad 
a  chance  in  field  trials,  viz.  Lady  Cole's  Pride.  This 
was  a  very  handsome  dog,  having  won  first  prize  at 
New  York  Bhow  in  1903,  beating  the  imported  Setter 
Rap  O'Leck,  brought  over  from  England  by  Mr. 
George  Raperjthis  was  in  dog  puppy  olass.  In  the 
novice  class,  In  whioh  there  were  twenty-nine  dogs, 


June  10,  1905J 


f&he  fgveeiiev  imfc  giportsmcm

Pride  won  third,  and  was  under  one  year  old.  His 
breeding  is  Oakley  Hill  by  Lady  Cole.  Pride's  two 
sisters  each  won  second  at  this  show. 

In  looking  around  for  a  stud  dog  I  settled  on 
Mallwyd  Prince  J.,  and  as  I  knew  this  dog  was  bred 
and  raised  by  Robert  Chapman  of  Glenboig,  Scotland, 
a  man  I  knew  to  be  a  great  field  dog  man,  and  from 
the  fact  that  I  saw  some  favorable  reports  regarding 
his  field  quality  I  used  Prince  J.  with  the  result  that 
the  color  suits  me.  All  I  have  shown  on  the  bench 
have  won  and  they  are  seven,  and  all  show  good  field 
quality. 

I  sold  two  of  this  litter  to  Mr.  George.  Thomas  of 
Philadelphia,  which  unfortunately  died  of  distemper, 
but  Mr.  Thomas  in  speatdng  of  them  said  that  Ranger 
was  the  best  American  bred  Setter  he  ever  saw. 

Now  my  intention  is  to  breed  Duchess  to  one  of  our 
very  best  field  trial  stud  dogs,  and  in  that  litter  I  am 
hoping  to  get  something  near  what  I  am  trying  for. 
This  is  an  entire  outoross  and  can  only  be  proven  to 
be  right  or  wrong  after  being  tried.  It  is  a  cross  few 
would  undertake,  as  it  hurts  financially  anfi  moBt 
breeders  prefer  the  same  old  trail,  but  I  am  of  the 
opinion  they  have  about  reached  the  end  of  their 
string  for  a  Llewellyn  outcross  and  must- sooner  or 
later  outcross,  as  I  am  doing. 

Mr.  Buckell  says  in  a  recent  issue  of  the  American 
Fluid  that  he  would  rather  breed  one  of  the  old  breed 
of  Setters  to  a  Pointer  or  a  Foxhound  than  to  a  bench 
show  Setter.  I  am  surprised  to  hear  such  a  remark, 
as  it  is  really  wonderful  what  can  be  accomplished  by 
breeding  where  good  judgment  is  used  without  mak- 
ing^t'taj  fat^t  mistake  of  crossing  to  an  outside  breed. 
I  am  riot  going  into  evolution  on  breeding,  but  merely 
mention  this.  I  took  Lady  Cole  with  me  to  Los  An- 
geles last  May  as  an  attraction,  being  asked  to  bring 
her  with  me.  She  at  the  time  being  in  season  I  had 
ho  idea  of  breeding  heron  the  Coast,  thinking  I  would 
not  see  a  dog  that  would  strike  my  fancy;  but  a  dog 
which  did  strike  me  as  about  right  was  the  dog  which 
I  gave  fi'St  prize,  a  dog  named  Klamath  by  California 
Bell  Boy,  dam  Rod's  Lady.  I  thought  so  much  of 
this  dog  that  I  bred  Lady  Cole  to  him.  He  is  a  dog 
weighing  about  fifty  pounds,  and  I  have  never  seen  a 
better  made  one.  I  said  to  his  keeper,  Mr.  Babcock: 
"This  dog  looks  as  though  he  could  run  a  week  with- 
out anything  to  eat."  He  said:  "I  have  never  seen  a 
dog  which  can  stay  as  long  as  he  can  and  keep  up  his 
gait."  Lady  had  seven  puppies  by  this  dog,  and  the 
only  one  which  has  ever  been  used  in  the  field  so  far 
is  the  one  Mr.  Askins  has,  which  I  gave  to  Mr. 
Preston. 

I  might  mention  how  I  got  Lady  Cole.  She  is  of 
my  own  breeding.  I  borrowed  a  bitch  from  a  neigh- 
boryor  rather  leased  her.-  She  was  only  fair  to  look 
at  and  her  name  was  Queen  Gladstone,  No.  34182,  a 
wonderful  bird  dog,  but  not  fast.  She  was  bred  to  a 
dog  called  Dinks  II.  I  selected  from  these  two.  Now, 
Dinks  was  a  great  bird  dog  also,  and  I  seleoted  a  bitch 
called  Fanny  Lee  from  this  litter  to  breed  from.  I 
bred  her  to  a  dog  called  Ray,  a  son  of  Donald  Bane 
and  out  of  a  bitoh  called  Sue  H.  A  bitch  I  selected 
of  this  litter  I  called  Cole's  Lady,  which  I  in  turn  bred 
to  Cinclnnatus'  Pride  and  from  this  litter  selected  the 
well-known  bitch,  Lady  Cole.  Now,  I  never  kept  or 
tried  to  breed  any  of  these  litters  but  the  ones  I  men- 
tion, as  the  remaining  puppies  did  not  Buit  me,  at 
letfstfi-dld  hot  think  so 

I  also  bred  Lady  Cole  to  her  own  sire,  Cincinnatus' 
Pride,  and  seMoted  Dancing  Duchess,  which  was  in  the 
hands  of  Mr.  Mayfield,  who  pronounced  her  good 
enough  to  run  in  an  open  trial,  but  as  I  sold  her  to 
Mr.  ButtleB  he  recalled  her  from  the  trainer,  and  Bhe 
has  not  been  worked  since.  This  bitch  won  first, 
Chicago,  a  year  ago,  in  novice  class,  and  two  seconds 
in  limit  and  open  class  this  spring,  being  beaten  by 
daughters  of  Lady  Cole  and  her  half  Bisters.  I  have 
Bhown  twelve  dogs  in  all  in  which  Lady  Cole  was  the 
dam,  and  not  one  of  them  ever  went  lower  than  sec- 
ond, except  Lady  Cole's  Pride.  At  the  same  time  I 
have  never  shown  a  dog  or  bitch  from  Lady  Cole 
which  did  not  win. 

Commendable  Action. 


The  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club  should  receive  the 
moral  support  and  active  backing  of  every  kennel 
organization,  individual  fancier  and  breeder  on  the 
Coast  for  its  commendable  poliey  in  the  effort  to 
effectively  deal  with  the  dog  poisoner  and  the  dog 
thief — two  detestable  elements  that,  we  regret  to  state, 
are  not  mythical  in  Coast  dogdom  affairs. 

Vice-President  Johu  E.  de  Ruyter  announces  that: 
"The  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club  offers  a  standing  re- 
ward of  $100  for  information  leading  to  the  arrest  and 
conviction  of  anyone  found  guilty  of  poisoning  a  dog 
in  violation  of  Section  596  of  the  Penal  Code  of  the 
State  of  California." 

"The  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club  also  offers  a  stand- 
ing reward  of  $50  for  information  leading  to  the  arrest 
and  conviction  of  anyone  found  guilty  of  stealing  a 
dog  in  violation  of  Sections  484-491,  inclusive,  of  the 
Penal  Code  of  the  State  of  California."

For  the  information  of  any  Coast  sportsmen  who 
are  desirous  of  Bending  their  dogs  over  the  line,  the 
following  customs  arrangements  have  been  made,  in 
order  to  prevent  expense,  trouble  or  delay  at  either 
Gretna  or  Emerson,  the  customs  ports  of  entry. 

All  dogs  that  have  been  duly  entered  in  any  of  the 
Manitoba  Field  Trials  Club  events  are  allow  to  enter 
Manitoba  and   remain  for  ninety  days,  free  of  duty. 

In  order  to  benefit  by  this  arrangement,  an  accu- 
rate description  of  each  dog  is  absolutely  necessary, 
giving  name,  breei^Bex,-  color,  event  entered  in, 
owner's  name,  name  of  person  having  charge,  and 
line  of  railway  entering  Manitoba  must  be  mailed  to 
Mr.  Hamber  one  week  previous  to  date  of  arrival  at 
port  of  entry. 

Dogs  unless  entered  in  the  trials  will  be  detained  by 
the  Canadian  Custom  House  officials. 

The  trials  will  be  run  at  La  Salle  on  the  grounds 
that  have  been  used  for  several  years  past  by  the 
Western  Canada  Kennel  Club.  The  village  is  but 
thirteen  miles  from  Winnipeg,  and  has  the  repu- 
tation of  affording  good  accommodations  for  sports- 
men. Satisfactory  training  grounds  for  handlers 
and  their  strings  are  to  be  found  in  a  number  of 
localities  within  easy  reach  of  the  trial  grounds. 

Mr.  Hamber  will  be  pleased  to  forward,  from 
Winnipeg,  rules,  entry  blanks,  etc.,  to  any  corre- 
spondent so  desiring.     

STOCKTON    TO    HAVE    A    SHOW. 

Stockton  dog  fanciers  organized  last  Friday  night 
■  and  will  give  a  bench  show  in  the  near  future.  Or- 
ganization was  effected  by  electing  George  E.  Mc- 
Leod,  President;  Charles  Heffernan,  Vice-PreBident, 
and  Fred  A.  Giesea,  Secretary-Treasurer.  A  member- 
ship committee  composed  of  Messrs.  Maekay,  Heffer- 
nan and  Dentoni  was  appointed  to  procure  more  mem- 
bers. A- bench  show  committee  was  also  appointed 
consisting  of  C.  K.  Cadman,  J.  W.  Keyes  and  Frank 
Millman. 

The  newly  organized  Stockton  Kennel  Club  starts 
off  under  good  auspices,  the  interest  shown  in  the 
project  is  amply  demonstrated  by  the  following  list 
of  applications  for  membership:  F.  D.  Cobb,  Dr.  F.  R. 
Clark,  F.  E.  Lane,  W  J.  McCullom,  Harry  McCabe,

Linden,  John  Dougherty  and  W.  Popplewell  of  Lodi, 
C.  Fontana  of  Copperopolis  and  F.  A.  Voorheis  of 
Jackson.  Many  other  fanciers  have  signified  their 
willingness  to  join  and  encourage  the  interests  of  the 
new  kennel  club.  The  contemplated  show  will  be 
under  A.  K.  C.  rules.  A.  K.  C.  membership  and 
show  dates  will  be  applied  for.  It  is  intimated  that 
the  proposed  show  will  come  off  in  September. 

Many"  fanciers  from  San  Francisco,  Sacramento, 
San  Jose  and  Santa  Cruz  It  Is  anticipated  will  show. 
Several  fine  cups  for  prize  winners  have  already  been 
promised.  C.  D.  Pierce,  of  the  Pierce  Stock  Farm, 
has  offered  to  give  the  best  trophy  in  the  show. 

President  McLeod  Btated  that  for  business  reasonB 
and  also  for  the  reason  that  he  thought  some  more 
prominent  dog  fancier  could  better  fill  the  position  be 
would  accept  the  presidency  of  the  new  kennel  club 
only  temporarily  The  meeting  adjourned  to  meet  at 
the  call  of  the  chair. 

We  wish  the  Stockton  Kennel  Club  good  luck  and 
a  successful  show.        

POISONED    DOGS. 

This  is  the  cheerful  time  of  the  year  when  in  some 
of  the  interior  districts  we  may  look  for  the  poisoning 
of  dogs  maliciously  in  which  arsenic  or  nux  vomica, 
sometimes  called  dog  button,  is  used.  When  the 
poison  has  been  recently  administered  and  the  dog 
shows  signs  of  abdominal  pain  with  a  desire  to  vomit, 
waste  no  time  In  giving  from  five  to  fifteen  grains, 
depending  on  size  of  the  dog,  of  the  sulphate  of  zinc. 
Give  by  dissolving  in  a  tableBpoonful  or  more  of  warm 
water  to  induce  vomiting.  Also  give  from  half  to  a 
full  dram  of  calcined  magnesia  and  follow  with  from 
half  an  ounce  to  an  ounce  or  more  of  castor  oil. 
When  it  is  suspected  that  dog  button  has  been  given, 
which  is  manifest  by  twitching  of  the  muscles,  opium 
in  grain  doses  every  four  hours  will  sometimes  prove 
effective.  

Mr  Chas.  Lyndon  will  judge  all  breedB  at  Santa 
Cruz  but  Greyhounds  which  will  be  paBBed  upon  by 
Mr.  W.  C.  Carmichael  of  San  Jose. 


conclusive  proof  that  would  be  acceptable  in  a  law 
court— to  convict  a  certain  dog  handler  in  thlB  city 
for  the  theft  of  a  litter  of  Bull  Terrier  puppies.  A 
clever  and  unscrupulous  liar  may  dodge  exposure  for 
the  while  but  time  is  a  potent  factor  that  has  brought 
many  a  rascal  to  his  just  deserts. 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  California  Wing  Club  live  bird  shoot  for  June 
is  the  main  Ingleside  card  tomorrow. 

The  Empire  Gun  Club  regular  shoot  will  take  place 
at  Alameda  Junction. 

At  Gridley  a  two  day  tournament  will  start  today. 
A  number  of  local  shooters  will  be  pretent. 


Among  the  talent  who  will  be  at  the  Portland  tour- 
nament will  be  Clarence  A.  Haight,  R.  C.  Reed,  W.  S. 
Wattles,  W.  H.  Seaver,  Emll  Holling,  D.  W.  King1, 
Jr.,  Frank  W.  Carter,  W.  H.  Varien,  Otto  Feudner, 
Ed  Schultz  and  Frank  Newbert  of  Sacramento. 


Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  shooters  had  to  contend  with 
a  Btrong  westerly  wind  at  Inglesidelast  Sunday,  hence 
the  raggedness  of  a  number  of  scores,  particularly  so 
in  the  Bekeart  challenge  cup  race.  This  event  was 
won  by  Ed.  Sohultz,  who  scored  92  out.  of  100.  .The 
win  was  a  popular  one.  Holling  won  the  trophy  once 
on  a  97  score  and  Varien  and  Webb  shot  off  a  96  tie 
for  the  cup.  Bradrick  won  it  on  Memorial  day  with 
94  breaks.  Eight  guns  were  in  the  contest  on  Sunday 
and  despite  the  majority  of  the  shooters  displayed  off 
form  the  race  was  an  Interesting  one. 

The  winners  in  the  club  shoot  at  100  targets  were: 
Champion  class — Webb  fiist  money,  Forster  second, 
Bradrick  third,  Holling  and  Haight  divided  fourth. 
First  class — Golcher  first  money,  F.  J.  Schultz  second, 
D.  W..  King,  Jr.,  third,  Murdock  and  Harpham  di- 
vided fourth.  Second  class — Knick  first  money,  H. 
Klevesahl  second,  Bruns  third  and  McElwain  fourth. 
Third  class — Dr.  Sylvester  first  money,  Harvey  sec- 
ond, Patrick  and  Johnson  divided  fourth.  The  total 
amount  of  the  club  purse  divided  was  $100.

The  Vallejo  Gun  Club  shoot  on  the  4th  inst.  had 
two  dozen  guns  working  on  the  firing  line.  BeBides 
the  regular  club  race  the  card  of  events  was  attractive 
enough  to  keep  the  trapB  going  all  day.  In  the  club 
shoot  at  25  targets  C.  Drake's  shooting  eye  and  pump 
gun  made  the  high  Bcore — just  one  bird  leas  than  a 
straight.  J.  V.  O'Hara  and  R.  W.  Carter  were  run- 
ners-up  with  21  each.  Dr.  C.  E.  Turner,  the  recently 
elected  President  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trap  Shooters 
Association,  made  the  creditable  Bcore  of  18 — if  the 
Doc  1b  as  good  with  his  shootin'  iron  as  Brother  Jim 
is  with  his  Leonard  he  will  make  the  boys  shoot  some. 
Hirschle  evidently  had  a  long  range  appetite  Sunday, 
he  can  easily  Bhoot  better  than  a  40%  gait.  Commis- 
sary General  Ellas  evidently  is  not  en  rapport  with

the  automatic  lead  Bpout,  for  7  out  of  25  Is  bad  enough 
to  make  the  barnacles  drop  off  the  bottom  of  the 
Independence. 

In  the25-target  pool  J.  V.  O'Hara  took  first  money 
with  25  straight  breaks,  C.  Drake  second  money  with 
24  and  W.  Chappell  third  with  23. 

In  the  20-target  pool  C.  Drake,  J.  V.  O'Hara,  M.  A.

We  are  In  receipt  of  a  postal  card  from  the  enter- 
prising secretary  of  the  Warwick  Gun  Club  of  War- 
wick, New  York,  which  courtesy  we  beg  to  acknowl- 
edge. 

The  card  is  the  usual  monthly  notice  to  members 
announcing  the  date  of  the  monthly  Bhoot,  June  16. 
On  the  back  is  printed  the  club  program  in  tabular 
form  giving  the  number  of  events,  targets,  entrance 
and  blanks  for  keeping  individual  scores,  etc. 

A  foot  note  6tates  that  extra  events,  time  permit- 
ting, will  be  put  on,  the  time  of  starting  for  the 
grounds  in  carriages  and  where  from,  time  when  the 
shoot  will  commence  and  that  "shells  are  for  sale  at 
the  Club  House." 

While  this  all  may  not  be  of  such  great  interest  to 
Coast  shooters  we  must  commend  the  energy  of  the 
New  York  club  secretary  in  advertising  his  club  shoots 
and  suggest  that  there  are  many  club  secretaries  on 
the  Coast  who  might  profit  by  this  example.

SALT     WATER    ANOLEBS. 

Striped  bass  angiers  are  awaiting  settled  pleasant 
weather  In  the  hopes  that  the  sport  of  trolling  and 
bait  fishing  will  repay  their  indulgenc  in  the  sport 
with  more  regular  saline  water  dividends  than  have 
been  recently  declared. 

For  several  weeks  past  the  best  results  have  been 
obtained  in  the  San  Pablo  flats,  off  San  Pablo  station, 
where  hundreds  of  bass,  almost  without  exception 
under  the  three  pound  limit,  have  been  caught.  This 
water  Is,  at  times,  an  ideal  fishing  ground  for  trolling 
from  a  boat.  When  the  wind  blowB  from  the  rorth 
or  from  a  southwesterly  direction  the  fishing  is  off  for 
that  day,  or  even  days,  during  the  blow.  In  a  strong 
cortber  the  sea  kicked  up  across  the  bay  has  made 
many  an  ambitious  angler  pay  tribute  to  Neptune  in 
due,  but  not  dignified,  form.  When  weather  and  tide 
are  right,  and  that  is  very  often,  Ban  Pablo  is  well 
worth  a  visit  for  striped  bass  fishing.  Last  Sunday 
the  winds  spoiled  the  fishing  for  anglers  out  in  about 
twenty  boatx. 

Considerable  comment  has  been  recently  made  on 
the  number  of  undera  zed  basscaughtand  It  is  possible 
the  matter  will  be  taken  up  by  the  Fish  Commissioners, 
as  it  should  be.  There  has  never  been  any  question 
raised  against  the  angler,  pure  and  simple,  who  out 
for  his  day's  recreation  books  a  fow  small  sized  fish. 
He  b»s  not  been  blamed  to  any  extent.  A  fisherman 
cannot  pick  bis  lish  from  the  water  when  he  is  trolling 
for  striped  bats.  The  matter,  however,  has  become 
an  abuse.  When  one  or  more  fishermen,  will  keep  on 
fishlr;  and  deliberately  yank  50  or  100  small,  lm- 
mati  red  bass  out  of  tbe  water  and  pack  the  little 
stoc-'  fish  to  town,  posing  as  piscatorial  heroes  tbe 


while,  it  is  time  to  call  a  halt  and  put  the  bass  hog  in 
the  same  class  with  the  illegal  net  and  predatory 
market  fisher.  Some  of  the  socalled  Sunday  anglers 
have  been  published  in  the  daily  press  as  having 
caught  50  or  more  "gamey  striped  bass."  Several  of 
these  louts,  we  know  of,  were  too  lazy  or  unskillful  to 
catch  fish— yes  and  too  boozy,  and  purchased  their 
"big"  catches  of  baby  Btriped  bass  from  the  "dago" 
net  men  who  in  passing  by  with  a  contraband  cargo  of 
fish  were  hailed  by  tbe  anchored  "scrub"  fishermen 
and  an  interchange  of  under  Bized  bass,  whiskey  and 
silver  was  the  result. 

The  sentiment  among  sportsmen  and  fish  protec- 
tionists is  gaining,  that  the  deliberate  illegal  rod  and 
line  fishermen  should  be  placed  on  the  same  footing 
as  the  illegal  market  fisher,  or  any  other  fish  law 
violator. 

Reports  from  the  San  Antone  and  Schultz  Bloughs 
are  that  bass  are  there  in  plenty,  but  the  rodsters 
have  not  yet  been  able  to  get  much  sport.  .These 
waters  Bhould  pan  out  well  in  the  near  future. 

During  the  week  a  number  of  fair-sized  fish,  it  is 
reported,  have  been  caught  by  anglers  in  Lake 
Merritt.  A  telephone  call  to  John  Fatjo  at  the  Lake 
Merritt  boathouse  will  result  in  accurate  Information 
as  to  fishing  conditions  in  the  lake. 

There  were  fifteen  trolling  boats  out  in  San  Leandro 
bay  last  Sunday  and  all  came  back  with  more  or  less. 
fish,  most  of  the  bass  caught  being  of  small  size. 

Raccoon  straits  and  Angel  island  waters  still  refuse 
to  give  up  any  bass,  much  to  the  chagrin  of  the 
anglers  who  have  recently  tried  thosefishing  grounds. 
There  is  the  consolation  left,  however,  that  these 
favorite  resorts  will  soon  be  ripe  for  the  trolling  rod 
and  No.  6  Wilson  or  Stewart  spoons. 

The  query  among  the  fishers  is,  where  are  the  big 
bass?  Fish  weighing  20  to  30  pounds  are  almost  daily 
seen  in  the  markets.  The  net  men  get  them,  but  the 
rodsters  do  not.  The  big  fellows  are  in  evidence,  but 
what  waters  they  can  be  found  in  is  a  closely  guarded 
secret  of  the  "latiners." 


BLACK    BASS     FISHING. 

Black  bass  fishing  has  been  excellent  since  the  1st 
inst.  This  week  a  party  of  anglers  hooked  91  fair 
sized  fiBh  in  Bollard 's  lake  near  San ta  Rosa. 

In  the  Russian  river,  particularly  in  the  long  stretch 
of  dammed  up  water  near  Guerneville  black  bass  fish- 
ing never  was  better.  The  section  is  handy  and  con- 
venient for  a  trip  beginning  on  Saturday  afternoon 
and  ending  on  the  angler's  early  return  to  the  city 
Monday  morning.

AS    USUAL    U.     M.    C     WINS. 

The  second  meeting  of  the  Southwestern  Washing- 
ton Gun  Club  Association,  held  at  Olympia,  Washing- 
ton, on  May  29th  and  30th,  was  without  doubt  one  of 
the  most  satisfactory  and  enloyable  shoots  ever  held 
in  that  section  of  the  country.  The  assemblage  of 
shooters  was  indeed  very  gratifying,  and  showed  the 
manner  in  which  blue  rock  shooting  is  g  lining  in 
popularity  in  the  Northwest  There  were  52  shooters 
who  shot  through  the  different  events,  40  of  whom 
used  U.  M.  C.  "Acme,"  "Magic,"  "Monarch"  and 
"Majestic"  shells. 

Mr  Harry  Gilchrist  of  Centralia,  Washington,  was 
high  gun,  making  91  per  cent.  He  also  won  the  In- 
dividual Championship  medal.  Mr.  J.  H.  LewiB  of 
Elma,  Washington,  was  second  and  Mr.  R.  V.  Rowe 
of  Tacoma,  Washington,  was  third  high  average, 
making  90  and  89J  per  cent  respectively.  The  team 
shoot  was  won  by  the  Tacoma  squad,  Rowe,  Lanning 
and  Cooper.  The  Infallible  cup  was  won  by  B.  B. 
Lipscomb  of  Tacoma.  All  of  these  winners  used  U. 
M.  C.  shells. 

At  the  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  shoot,  held  on  June 
4th  at  Iugleside,  some  very  good  scores  were  made, 
and  the  attendance  was  very  satisfactory.  Out  of  37 
shooters,  BhootiDg  through  the  entire  day,  31  used 
U.  M.  C.  Acme,  Magic,  Majestic  and  Monarch  shells. 
A.  J.  Webb  won  high  average,  Edgar  Forster  second, 
J.  W.  Bradrick  third,  and  Emil  Holling  fourth.  Those 
in  on  the  money  for  the  day's  shoot  were  A.  J  Webb,

Savage  .22  Take  Down,  1905  Model 


TRADE  NOTES. 


A    NEW    MODEL    .22. 

The  popularity  of  the  small  caliber  rifle  is  sueh  that 
manufacturers  have  exercised  their  utmost  skill  and 
ingenuity  in  placing  an  arm  on  the  market  that  is  up- 
to-date  in  every  respect.  These  small  rifles,  particu- 
larly the  take  down  patterns,  are  in  high  favor  in 
camp  and  on  outing  trips.  They  are  also  coming 
rapidly  to  the  front  for  small  game  Bhooting,  for 
which  sport  the  .22  will  be  found  to  grow  in  favor 
with  each  successive  triai. 

The  new  "Target  Model"  single  shot,  take  down, 
22  caliber  Savage  rifle  is  an  arm  that  has  many  com- 
mendable  features.  While  designed  for  target  shoot- 
ing, it  can  be  used  on  small  game  to  great  advantage. 

No  rifle  will  appeal  so  strongly  to  the  target  shooter 
who  desires  to  use  the  inexpensive  22  caliber  ammuni- 
tion as  this  Savage  It  is  chambered  for  the  short, 
long  and  long  rifle  cartridges  only  and  a  special  rifling 
gives  the  greatest  accuracy  with  these  loads 

The  arm  weights  4}  lbs.  and  is  beautifully  balanced, 
especially  for  off-hand  shooting.  The  Swiss  butt 
plate  and  heavy  barrel  22  inches  in  length  are  two  of 
its  special  features.  Longer  and  heavier  barrels  can- 
not be  supplied.  More  important,  however,  is  the 
adjustable  screw,  which  regulates  the  pull.  No  matter 
what  your  idea  of  the  trigger  pull  may  be,  it  may  be 
obtained  almost  instantly  with  this  new  Savage  device. 
The  adjusting  screw  Is  located  on  the  under  side  of 
the  trigger  and  may  be  instantly  reached  by  simply 
taking  off  the  stock. 

Standard  sights  are  an  ivory  bead  front  with  the 
famous  Savage  Micrometer  rear — in  fact  an  accurate 
and  simple  working  windguage  Baker  &  Hamilton, 
San  Francisco  and  Sacramento  are  the  Coast  agents 
for  the  new  Savage  1905  .22  Model. 

The  first  Coast  Invoice  of  this  rifle,  a  small  one  too, 
is  now  on  band.  Judging  from  the  early  and  numerous 
orders  already  in,  the  stock  will  be  exhausted  quickly. 
The  rifle  has  caught  on,  it  is  worth  having. 


Klevesahl,  of  the  second  class;  Dr.  Sylvester,  Bert 
Patrick  and  W.  H.  Johnson  of  the  third  class. 

All  of  the  above  winners  used  the  TJ.  M.  C.  brand  of 
cartridges. 

J.  W.  Bradrick.  who  won  the  Bekeart  Trophy  in 
the  100-bird  race  at  the  Pacific  Coast  Trap  Shooters 
Association  Tournament,  was  called  upon  to  defend 
the  same,  the  following  shooters  competing:  Emil 
Holling,  R.  C.  Reed,  Otto  Feudner,  A.  J.  Webb,  C.  C. 
Nauman,  E.  Schultz,  Gion  Gibson  and  J.  W.  Brad- 
rick. This  was  a  very  exciting  contest,  each  man 
shooting  at  100  targets.  The  scores  were  not  as  good 
as  at  the  previous  contest,  92  per  cent  winning,  this 
being  made  by  Mr.  Schultz.  All  of  these  contestants 
used  U.  M.  C.  ammunition.

A     GOOD    BECORD. 

Ballistite  was  first  introduced  to  the  attention  of 
English  sportsmen  some  nine  years  ago,  since  which 
time  it  has  steadily  gained  in  popularity  all  over  the 
world.  It  is  manufactured  by  Nobel  Brothers  of 
Glasgow,  a  firm  that  has  been  in  the  powder  manu- 
facturing business  for  over  100  years.  The  claim 
"Perfection  in  Sporting  Ammunition"  has  been 
proven  without  contravention  upon  numerous  occa- 
sions when  "Ballistite"  has  prevailed  over  the 
strongest  competition. 

"Sporting  Ballistite"  is  waterproof,  haB  quick  igni- 
tion and  high  velocity  and  is  a  most  reliable  nitro 
powder.  Some  recent  foreign  successes  accomplished 
with  Ballistite  were:  Championship  of  England, 
championship  of  Scotland,  championship  of  Ireland, 
championship  of  the  midland  counties  of  England, 
championship  of  Italy,  championship  of  Spain,  cham- 
pionship of  Australian  Commonwealth,  championship 
of  Queensland,  championship  of  New  South  Wales, 
championship  of  Bendigo,  Victoria;  Grand  Prix  de 
Pau,  Monte  Carlo.  At  the  Gun  Club  and  Hurling- 
ham,  England,  "Sporting  Ballistite"  beads  tbe  list  of 
wins  for  eight  successive  years.  Users  of  this  smoke- 
less powder  won  prizes  to  the  value  of  £72.000  Among 
these  successes  were:  C.  B.  S.  A  Championship  Meet- 
ing, first  and  second  prizes,  "Shooting  Tiroes"  Com- 
petition. Second  prize  "Land  and  Water"  Challenge 
Cup.  First  and  second  prizes,  Special  £25  Specie 
Event  (Handicap).  Second  prize,  "Marylebone  Gun 
Club"  Event.  Fourth  prize,  'Heron-Maxwell"  Com- 
petition. 

Some  American  successes  are:  Championship  of 
Kentucky,  championship  of  Wisconsin,  cbnmpion- 
sbip  of  New  York  State,  championship  of  Florida, 
Eastern  amateur  clav  bird  championship.  First 
averages  at  Booklrr,  N.  Y.  (97%);  Lincoln,  III  (97%); 
Sioux  City,  Iowa  (96%);    Wilkesbarre,  Pa.  (97%);  etc

THE   FARM. 


The  Poland  China  Hog. 

[p.  P.  McCracken  in  Blooded  Stock.] 
This  very  popular  breed  is  an  Ameri- 
can product.  The  Poland  China  type  has 
come  to  be  recognized  as  the  corn  belt 
type  and  other  breeds  have  aimed  at 
their  excellencies  as  those  most  desirable 
and  profitable  for  the  corn-clover  lands  ot 
America.  Indeed,  so  much  have  the 
grains  and  grasses  of  this  belt  to  do  with 
the  shaping  of  the  conformation,  that  a 
hog  of  whatsoever  form  or  characteristics, 
will  gradually  but  surely  take  on  this 
Poland  China  type,  once  he  makes  it  his 
home. 

The  object  of  this  article  is  not  to  be- 
little or  in  any  way  discredit  the  value  or 
claims  of  any  other  breed,  but  Bimply  to 
present  the  claims  of  this  justly  popular 
and  highly  meritorious,  home  made  type. 
Outside  the  corn  belt,  in  regions  where 
the  economical  ration  must  be  other  than 
corn  and  clover,  a  style  or  hog  known  as 
the  Bacon  type  will  likely  be  the  hog  of 
the  future,  but  never  will  the  Poland 
China  type  change  in  the  main  grain  and 
grass. 

A  member  of  one  of  the  chief  packing 
firms  of  Chicago  stated  recently  that  the 
hulk  of  what  Bacon  hogs  are  packed  by 
the  firm  are  purchased  in  Minneapolis,  or 
grown  outside  the  corn  belt. 

The  Poland  China  was  first  planned  as 
a  big,  slow-growing,  grass  and  mast  eating 
fellow  with  a  constitution  to  endure  hard- 
ship, a  disposition  to  bunt  his  own  living 
while  he  grew,  a  skin  to  withstand  sum 
mer's  sun  and  winter's  storm,  a  frame  to 
carry  heavy  weight,  and  with  both  wind 
and  limb  sufficient  to  carry  his  own  meat 
to  market  once  he  has  it  on  his  back. 

In  his  then  form  he  was  par  excellence 
the  hog  of  the  day  and  when  the  necessity 
came  for  greater  corn  condensing  facilities 
and  steam  relieved  him  of  the  burden  of 
carrying  his  weight  to  market,  very 
quickly  did  he  readjust  himself  in  style 
and  conformation  to  the  new  order  of 
things.  Off  came  his  great  coat,  and  his 
rough  frame  and  exterior  underwent  a 
radical  change.  His  legs  shortened,  his 
back  broadened,  his  ribs  sprung  out 
more  boldly,  a  wealth  of  meat  covered  his 
joints  and  hung  low  down,  until  a  round 
steak  would  cover  a  mammoth  chop-dish 
Rapid  growth  and  fleshing  on  an  abund 
ance  of  succulent,  nitrogenous  grasses, 
and  cereals  rich  in  fats  at  once  covered 
his  back  with  fat  and  softened  the  fibrous 
lean  of  his  joints  into  tender,  juicy, 
luscious  hams  and  shoulderB,  such  as  a 
beef  feeder  would  designate  well  marbled 
— a  little  fat  mixed  with  the  lean.

Always  of  quiet,  peaceable  habite,  once 
the  necessity  of  strenuous  action  past,  he 
conforms  to  the  changed  conditions  and 
proceeds  to  eat  and  digest  to  his  own 
gratification,  the  profit  of  the  owner  and 
the  pleasure  of  the  consumer. 

With  the  improved  feeding  and  flesh- 
ing qualities  have  come  likewise  some 
new  problems  for  the  feeder.  Improve- 
ment in  this  direction  of  course  means 
less  vigor,  more  fever,  greater  suscepti- 
bility to  disease,  and  an  animal  requiring 
more  care  and  attention,  better  housing 
from  inclement  weather,  and  a  regular, 
varied  and  plentiful  supply  of  edibles 
always  at  hand.  Like  the  Shorthorn, 
Hereford,  or  Angus,  he  can  make  moEt 
commendable  return  for  rich  living,  but 
will  be  but  a  sorry  failure  if  starved  or 
uncared  for. 

There  are  two  prime  reasons  why  it 
desirable  to  market  hogs  at  a  younger  age 
than  was  the  custom  when  the  breed  was 
founded.  First,  because  it  ib  conceded 
beyond  all  controversy,  that  the  cost  oi 
making  a  pound  of  pork  increases  in 
direct  proportion  with  the  age  of  the 
animal,  the  cost  of  producing  the  th;rd, 
fourth  or  fifth  hundred  pounds  beiDg 
relatively  much  more  than  that  of  the 
first  two  hundred  poundB.  Second,  be- 
cause the  summer  season  in  the  corn  belt 
is  more  favorable  for  rapid,  economical 
growth  and  fleshing.  Very  considerable 
of  the  ration  in  winter,  goes  simply  to 
keep  up  animal  heat  and  vitality,  aside 
from  which  is  the  fact  that  an  animal 
that  makes  growth  in  a  form  which  is 
always  ready  for  the  olock,  is  an  animal 
that  may  be  marketed  at  any  time  prices 
are  particularly  good,  and  that  may  be 
disposed  of  at  once,  should  contagious 
diBease  become  prevalent. 

The  hog  breeder  and  feeder  of  the  corn 
belt  expects  his  pig  crop  to  arrive  from 
February  until  May  1st,  and  can  get 
them  on  the  market  between  November 
and  February  1st,  averaging  from  two 
hundred  and  fifty  to  three  hundred  and 
fifty  pounds,  according  to  his  ability  and 
the  possibility  of  his  pig:  that  is,  the 
better  feeder  and  handler  he  is  and  the 
better  improved  his  pig,  the  greater  the 
results. 

Certain  localities  take  to  certain  breeds 
usually  in  hog  breeding,  and  which  is 
true  likewise  of  all  other  kinds  of  live 
stock,  yet  the  Poland  China  is  found 
everywhere.  He  endures  equally  the 
rigors  of  the  north  and  the  heat  of  the 
south.  He  i3  free  from  skin  diseaseB  such 
as  afflict  some  breeds  in  certain  climates 
or  soils.  He  grows  as  large  as  any  breed. 
He  grows  as  economically  as  any.  No  hog 
has  a  superior  disposition  nor  is  freer 
from  diBeaseB  or  ailments. 

He  is  sought  after  in  the  market  Hi 
hams  are  the  admiration  of  the  entire 
breeding  and  feeding  world.  As  a  mother 
the  Poland  China  is  docile  and  tractable, 
suckles  so  abundantly  that,  like  the 
Shorthorn,  feed  must  be  withheld  until 
the  young  can  consume  all  or  their  will  be 
spoiled  udders.  As  a  sire  the  Poland 
China,  crossed  on  whatso  ever  breed  or 
type,  good  or  bad,  the  result  is  alike — 
improvement. 

The  Poland  China  as  a  breed  possesses 
to  a  greater  degree  than  any,  the  disposi- 
tion to  take  on  flesh  and  fat  quickly  and 
in  which  respect  it  carries  to  the  greatest 
degree  the  qualities  obtained  from  the  big 
China  or  Chinese  hog,  used  in  the  early 
improvement  of  the  breed,  which  was 
accomplished  largely  through  the  cross- 
ing of  the  Chinese  or  China,  and  the  little 
black  hog  of  Naples,  or  on  the  original 
wild  hog,  found  in  different  countries  and 
still  existent  in  their  wild  state  in 
southern  Europe,  an  animal  long  of  limb, 
fleet  of  foot,  sinuous  and  fierce,  and  almost 
as  dissimilar  to  the  improved  hog  of  to- 
day, as  the  present  day  hog  and  a  calf 
I  took  the  measurements  of  Bome  speci- 
mens recently  captured  in  the  wilds  of 
Russia,  which  morejjnearly  conformed  to 
those  of  a  two-weeks  old  calf,  than  to  an 
improved  hog.  Like  the  home  made 
Plymouth  Rock  chicken,  the  Poland 
China   ia  an   all    round    popular  fellow

wherever  feed  is  p'entiful.  The  big  live 
stock  markets  of  the  country  are  fairly 
stuffed  with  hogs  of  this  breeding.  As  an 
evidence  that  he  suits  both  feeder  and 
packer,  a  pure  bred  Poland  China  barrow 
was  awarded  grand  sweepstakes  over  all 
breeds  at  the  late  World's  Fair  at  St. 
Louis,  where  the  largest  premiums  were 
ever  offered,  and  the  premium  was 
awarded  by  an  expert  from  a  Chicago 
branch  of  the  packing  firm  of  Swift  & 
Company. 

For  the  past  ten  years  or  more  the 
majority  of  pure  hogs  sold  for  breeding 
purposes  have  been  disposed  of  at  public 
sale,  the  great  majority  of  such  sales 
being  Poland  Chinas,  very  many  being 
bought  on  mail  orderB  by  the  auctioneers 
or  by  field  representatives  of  live  stock 
papers,  for  parties  in  distant  states. 

There  are  five  record  associations  for 
the  registering  of  Poland  Chinas,  one  of 
which  alone,  ranks  a  good  second  for  the 
number  of  pedigrees  recorded,  with  that 
of  any  breed  of  live  Btoek,  the  number 
yearly  registered  only  being  exceeded  by 
that  of  the  Shorthorn  Record  Association 
in  which  respect  the  Poland  China  again 
favors  the  Shorthorn — nothing,  however, 
to  its  discredit. 

When  it  comes  to  the  question  of  profit- 
able handling  of  pure  bred  hogs,  the 
Poland  China  is  a  prime  favorite.  Boars 
renowned  aB  prize  takers  or  for  their 
breeding  capabilities  very  frequently  sell 
at  from  .  $2500  to  $5000  and  $6000  each. 
Famous  breeding  sows,  when  carrying 
litters  by  Buch  boarB,  sell  at  public  sale 
during  the  winter  months,  in  any  of  the 
ten  or  twelve  chief  hog  Btates,  in 
hundreds  each  season,  at  all  the  way 
from  $100  to  $700  or  $800  each. 

Sows  of  less  note,  bred  to  boars  younger 
and  with  their  show  and  breeding  repu- 
tation to  make,  can  be  bought  at  from  $25 
upward,  $40  to  $50  each  procuring  very 
creditable  specimens. 

During  the  fall  circuit  of  saleB,  the 
spring  pigs  are  sold  in  what  is  designated 
the  pig  sale  season,  the  sale  season  open- 
ing in  August  and  continuing  until  Christ- 
mas, at  which  male  pigs  mav  be  had  Bix 
or  eight  months  old  and  of  serviceable  age 
at  from  $20  upwards,  the  gilts  which  may 
be  bred  in  December  for  spring  farrow, 
may  be  had  at  the  same  general  prices, 
although,  of  course,  pigs  from  specially 
noted  parentage  or  with  show  yard  form 
and  finish  command  very  much  more, 
selling  up  to  $250  each  for  gilts  and  $600 
or  $700  each  for  males.  One  litter  of  five 
sold  laet  fall  in  Illinois  at  public  sale  for 
the  neatsum  of  $1810  and  which  was  from 
a  sow  that  coBt  $740  in  the  previous 
winter's  sale. 

The  highest  prices  to  date  for  a  single 
Poland  China,  where  the  deal  waB  for 
absolute  money,  and  not  contingent  on 
the  taking  in  part  pay  other  stock,  were 
$6000  for  one  animal  and  $8000  for  another. 
The  latter  sold  in  half  interests  at  $4000 
for  each  interest.

The  sales  of  registered  hogs  take  place 
in  tents  or  buildings,  seated  and  with  a 
fenced  ring,  into  which  each  animal  cata- 
logued iB  driven  in  turn  and  sold  with  an 
ear  tag  corresponding  with  the  number  of 
animal  in  the  catalogue.  The  sales  are 
conducted  by  auctioneers  acquainted  with 
the  values  of  the  breed  sold,  and  are  ad- 
vertised in  Btock  and  agricultural  papers 
covering  the  territory  requisite,  represen- 
tatives of  these  papers  first  examining  the 
herd  previous  to  advertising  and  again 
attending  and  reporting  the  results,  fre- 
quently as  well  being  delegated  by  readers 
of  their  respective  papers,  to  purchase  on 
mail  orders  such  as  are  wanted  by  those 
at  too  great  a  distance  to  attend.  The 
auctioneers  and  field  men,  as  the  news- 
paper representatives  are  called,  purchase 
many  hundreds  in  thifl  way  yearly. 

At  the  State  Fairs  in  the  grain  growing 
states,  hogs  of  all  age's  and  breeds  are 
annually  shown  in  large  numbers,  2500  to 
3000  being  no  unusual  number  on  ex- 
hibition at  a  single  fair  in  the  middle 
west. 

Corn  and  hogs  are  two  very  closely 
allied  staples  in  the  grain  regions.  They 
make  a  poor  man  rich,  and  they  make  a 
rich  man  wealthy. 


One  of  the  most  common  things  is  to 
bear  farmers  stoutly  declare  that  they 
know  the  percentage  of  butter  fat  in 
cows  can  be  changed  by  feeding.  Yet,  in 
all  this,  they  know  what  no  student  or 
body  of  scientific  men  has  been  able  to 
tind  by  the  most  careful  and  long-con- 
tinued experimentation.  A  herd  of  ten 
cows  waB  recently  tested  for  a  year 
using  all  sorts  of  methods  to  increase 
the  percentage  of  butter  fat.  Starving 
down  and  feeding  up  was  tried  and  with 
it  all  a  change  of  only  one-fourth  of  one 
per  cent  was  made  and  this  might  have 
been  purely  accidental.

Dairy  Notes. 

To  make  a  success  of  dairying  you  can't 
know  too  much  about  your  cows.  So  two 
cows  are  juet  alite. 

Keep  a  book  account  with  your  cows. 
If  the  cow  is  proving  unprofitable,  send 
her  t    the  shambles. 

The  .lairv  bull  should  be  a  pure  bred 
animal  His  ancestry  should  show  a  good 
record  and  bis  individual  qualities  stand 
out  strong 

It  is  no  sacrifice  to  pay  a  big  price  for  a 
cow  if  you  are  sure  of  getting  big  money 
back  again.  Where  the  loss  comes  in  is 
in  buying  a  poor  cow  just  because  she  is 
cheap.  The  poorest  thing  a  man  can  have 
on  the  farm  is  a  poor  row. 

There  is  juBt  one  way  to  wash  tinware 
used  in  the  dairy.  First,  rinse  with  cold 
water  Then  use  scalding  water.  Then 
rinse  again  with  cold  and  set  out  in  the 
sunshine  and  open  air  to  dry.  That  will 
settle  with  bacteria  and  keep  your  milk 
perfectly  sweet  and  pure. 

There  are  some  who  obtain  forty  cents 
per  pound  the  year  round  for  their  gilt- 
edge  butter,  Customers  may  be  scarce 
who  want  to  pay  as  high  a  price  as  that 
for  butter.  But  if  it  is  nrBt-class,  they 
may  be  found.  It  is  hardly  worth  while 
to  attempt  to  build  up  a  gilt  edge  trade 
on  butter  that  is  only  medium. 

Succulent  food  increases  the  flow  of 
milk,  but  does  not  materially  inorease  the 
proportion  of  water  in  it.  The  relative 
proportions  of  fat  and  casein  are  changed 
in  a  marked  manner  by  a  change  in  the 
ration.  An  extra  yield  of  butter  will 
naturally  follow  the  use  of  richer  feed  if 
the  cow  has  been  well  selected. 

Ordinarily,  thick  cream  should  be 
churned  at  from  50  to  60  degrees.  Many 
persons  think  that  to  churn  from  45  to  60 
minutes  is  a  long  time,  but  the  best  re- 
sults come  from  that  length  of  time.  Such 
churning  produces  irregular  granules 
about  the  size  of  wheat  grains.  The  milk 
is  easily  washed  out,  and  the  butter  1b  of 
good  quality.

This  subject  is  not  new.  Yet  every 
year  there  are  some  who  forget  and  others 
who  do  not  know  just  how  to  handle  their 
calveB.  The  plan  of  raising  skim-milk 
calves  is  the  most  popular.  It  is  best  not 
to  let  the  calf  to  the  mother  at  all,  or  to 
let  it  remain  two  or  three  days.  The 
mother's  milk  for  the  first  few  days  is 
unfit  for  use,  because  it  is  indispensable 
to  the  welfare  of  tbe  young  calf.  This 
first  milk  acts  as  a  tonic,  a  cathartic 
and  an  invigorator.  Probably  the  calf 
and  the  cow  get  along  better  to  be  to- 
gether for  the  first  few  days.  Then  he 
should  have  the  mother's  milk  fed  to  him 
tor  ten  days,  and  gradually  substitute  the 
ekim  milk  for  tbe  whole  milk.  He  soon 
begins  to  eat  a  little  grass  and  bay,  but 
cannot  do  much  at  it  until  be  is  five  or 
six  weeks  old.  At  about  that  age  be  will 
commence  to  grind  coru  a  little,  which 
will  help  to  balance  the  milk  ration.  A 
good  pasture  will  be  a  great  benefit  to 
them.  Turn  them  out  and  let  them  enjoy 
the  sunshine,  the  air,  the  grass  and

In  figuring  dairy  products  It  is  hardly 
a  fair  estimate  to  take  the  best  calf  and 
show  Its  growth,  Its  remarkable  perform- 
ance when  It  comes  fresh,  and  Its  unusual 
performance  Is  not  a  favorable  test.

Dear  Sir: — I  have  a  sandard  bred  "Cupid" 
mare  raised  by  Adolph  Spreokels,  the  well-known 
Caiifornlan  and  horse  breeder,  and  after  driving 
her  a  few  months  a  bad  spavin  showed  itself  It 
was  fired  and  blistered  by  a  veterinary  and  the 
animal  turned  out  for  three  months.  Toe  spavin 
was  obstinate  and  the  mare  continued  lame.  I 
used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the-Horse"  and  a  com- 
plete cure  was  the  result. 

Yours,  Geo.  A.  Kmight.

In  regard  to  "Save  the-Horse,"  I  used  it  with  much  success.  The  running 
horse  Col  Roosevelt,  that  had  broken  down  in  training  for  two  or  three  years 
past,  is  now  in  good  shape  aad  will  certainly  be  able  to  race  as  well  as  ever 
before.  Have  a'so  used  -'Save-the-Horse  '  on  the  horse  Greyfeld  with  satisfac- 
tory results  Will  also  add  that  I  have  seen  "Save-the-Horse"  remove  a  deep- 
seated  rinebone  from  a  Director  trotting  h  »rse  in  Monroe  Salisbury's  stable. 

I  am  pleased  10  be  able  to  recommend  "Save-the-Horse"  fr^m  actual 
experience     Yours  'ruly,  GEO.  A.  DAVIS.

value.  The  first  important  eveot  for  the  foals  of 
1902  will  be  the  Pacific  Breeders  Futurity  which  will 
he  trotted  and  paced  at  the  Breeders  meeting  to  be 
held  in  August,  probably  at  Santa  Rosa.  This  stake 
will  be  worth  more  than  $1000  to  the  owner  of  the 
trotting  division.  The  Occident  Stake,  which  will 
doubtless  be  worth  nearly  $2000  to  the  winner  will  be 
trotted  on  the  first  day  of  the  State  Fair,  and  at  the 
same  meeting  the  Stanford  and  Stallion  Stakes  will  be 
decided.  The  Stanford  has  been  a  regular  feature  of 
the  State  Fair  program  for  years,  its  value  having 
increased  until  it  is  now  worth  about  $1000  to  the  first 
colt.  This  will  be  the  first  contest  for  the  Stallion 
Stake,  which  is  for  the  three-year-old  produce  of 
stallions  that  stood  for  Betvice  in  1901,  and  were 
nominated  in  this  Stake.  It  will  have  a  value  of 
nearly  $3000  of  which  sixty  per  cent  will  be  fortrotters 
and  forty  per  cent  for  pacers.  There  has  probably 
never  been  another  instance  in  America,  where  a  six 
days  program  of  harness  racing  such  as  will  be  given 
by  the  State  Agricultural  Society  this  year,  has  had 
three  stakes  for  three-year-old  trotters.  A  three-year- 
old  trotter  that  can  win  any  one  of  the  stakes  to  he 
decided  in  California  this  year  will  earn  quite  a  neat 
sum  for  his  owner,  and  one  that  can  win  three  of  them 
will  place  at  least  $3000  to  his  credit.

HARNESS  RACING  WILL,  BEGIN  in  California 
two  weeks  from  Monday  next  when  the  Lob 
Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association  will  open  its  first 
meeting  and  the  California  Circuit  at  the  same  time. 
Trainers  haye  been  shipping  their  strings  to  the 
southern  metropolis  for  a  week  past  and  many  more 
will  ship  during  the  next  few  days,  and  by  the  fir6t  of 
July  probably  four  or  five  hundred  horses  will  be  at 
Agricultural  Park  track  where  the  meeting  is  to  be 
held.  No  bette-  appointed  track  can  be  found  any 
where,  and  no  more  enthusiastic  lovers  of  harness 
racing  than  the  Los  Angelenos.  One  of  the  best 
managed  and  largest  amateur  driving  clubB  in 
America  is  located  in  that  city  and  its  matinee  racing 
has  been  famous  for  years.  The  world's  champion 
trotting  race  mare,  Sweet  Marie  2:04|,  was  the 
champion  of  this  club  before  she  entered  upon  a 
career  of  regular  racing,  and  many  other  horses  that 
have  since  earned  money  and  fame  east  and  west 
received  their  first  lesson  while  being  driven  by 
amateurs  at  the  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club's  meetings. 
The  newly  organized  association  which  has  arranged 
for  a  week  of  racing  for  $1000  purses  in  July,  is  com- 
posed of  gentlemen  who  are  nearly  all  members  of  the 
amateur  club,  and  their  enterprise  and  money  has 
made  the  meeting  possible.  It  iB  indeed  fortunate 
that  the  California  circuit  of  harness  racing  is  to  have 
such  an  auspicious  opening  as  the  Los  Angeles  meet- 
ing is  certain  to  furnish.  The  beautiful  grounds, 
splendid  track,  large  fields  of  fast  horses,  and  the  ex- 
cellent attendance  whieh  is  sure  to  greet  the  northern 
horsemen  who  visit  Los  Angeles  during  the  first  week 
in  July  cannot  help  hut  inspire  them  with  some  of  the 
enthusiasm  and  energy  which  has  made  Los  Angeles 
famous,  and  they  will  doubtless  make  an  effort  to 
display  some  of  the  same  spirit  at  the  meetings  held 
in  this  part  of  the  State.  The  Los  Angeles  organiza- 
tion hag  spared  no  effort  nor  expense  to  make  this 
meeting  a  high-class  successful  one.  It  has  raised  the 
sum  of  $15,000  and  placed  it  in  the  bank  to  assure  the 
payment  of  every  obligation.  It  has  hung  up  $1000 
purses  for  all  class  races  and  its  officers  will  see  that 
every  contest  for  this  money  is  decided  on  the  actual 
merit  of  the  horses.  They  propose  to  have  honest, 
clean  and  high-class  harness  racing  and  feel  confident 
that  the  public  will  give  such  racing  a  hearty  sup- 
port. It  will  be  a  meeting  worth  attending  and  we 
hope  every  horseman  in  this  section  of  California, 
who  possibly  can,  will  visit  Los  Angeles  and  attend 
this  meeting.    It  will  be  a  week  well  spent. 


A  THREE-YEAR-OLD  that  is  well  staked  will  have 
an  opportunity  to  earn  a  large  amount  of  money 
in  California  this  year.  There  are  four  stakes  for 
three-year-old  trotters  to  be  decided,  all  of  which 
have  a  division  for  pacers,   and   all  of  considerable 


SANTA  ROSA,  one  of  the  most  beautiful  cities  in 
California,  and  the  location  of  one  of  the  best 
race  tracks  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  desires  the  August 
meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders 
Association  to  be  held  there  This  is  the  meeting  at 
which  the  different  di-zisions  of  that  popular  stake 
the  Breeders  Futurity  will  be  decided.  About  $7000 
will  be  paid  out  in  the  four  divisions  to  be  trotted  and 
paced  this  year,  two  of  which  arefor  the  two-year  olds 
and  two  for  the  three-year-olds.  In  addition  to  these 
attractions,  the  association's  annual  $2000  stake  for 
2:24  class  trotters,  and  $1500  stake  for  2:20  class  pacers 
are  to  be  given  at  the  August  meeting,  making  with 
the  regular  class  races  as  fine  a  program  of  harness 
racing  as  is  given  on  any  track  west  of  the  Mississippi 
river.  The  Santa  Rosa  people  will  submit  a  proposal 
to  the  next  meeting  of  the  Directors  of  the  Breeders 
Association,  and  the  probabilities  are  strong  that  it 
will  be  accepted.  Few  citieB  in  California  have  made 
more  progress  in  recent  yearB  than  the  city  of  roses. 
A  new  electric  car  line  haB  been  finished  within  the 
past  year  which  connects  it  with  Petaluma,  Sebas- 
topal  and  many  other  towns,  and  the  completion  of 
the  new  branch  line  from  the  California  and  North- 
western road  to  Napa,  puts  that  thriving  city  within 
an  hour  and  a  half's  ride  of  Santa  Rosa.  If  the  Breed- 
ers August  meeting  goes  to  Santa  Rosa,  the  largest 
crowds  in  the  history  of  the  association  should  witness 
the  races. 


AT  HANFORD,  the  Central  California  Racing  and 
Agricultural  Fair  will  be  held  this  year  from 
October  9th  to  14th  inclusive.  The  program  of  races 
appears  in  our  issue  today.  Harness  horses  are  given 
purses  ranging  from  $100  to  $300,  and  good  purses  are 
provided  for  runners.  The  Hanford  Fair  is  one  of  the 
best  attended  fairs  given  in  California.  It  is  held  in  a 
prosperous  section  and  the  people  take  a  great  interest 
in  the  annual  display  of  central  California  products 
as  well  as  in  breeding  and  raoing  horses.  Entries  to 
harness  races  will  close  July  1st,  with  R.  G.  White, 
Secretary,  Hanford,  Cal. 


MR.  A.  B.  GWATHMEY,  ex-president  of  the  New 
York  Cotton  Exchange  and  owner  of  that  great 
trotter  Tiverton  2:04^,  winner  of  the  fastest  heat  ever 
trotted  by  a  gelding  in  a  race  and  also  winner  of  the 
fastest  two  heats  on  record,  is  entitled  to  the  thanks 
of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  for  a  copy  of  the 
handsome  catalogue  and  program  of  the  Sixth  Annual 
Parade  of  the  Road  Drivers  Association  of  New  York. 
It  is  a  book  of  64  pages,  filled  with  half-tone  engrav- 
ings of  members  of  the  association,  their  horses,  and 
scenes  on  New  York's  great  Bpeed way.  The  parade 
took  place  May  13th  and  was  a  great  success. 


SENSATIONAL  HORSES  appear  every  year  on 
the  Eastern  tracks,  and  California  furnishes  a 
large  percentage  of  the  best  ones.  Two  years  ago  Lou 
Dillon  electrified  the  entire  country  and  last  season 
Sweet  Marie  occupied  the  center  of  the  stage.  They 
are  now  guessing  the  name  of  the  sensational  trotter 
for  1905  over  East  and  naturally  they  have  picked  on 
a  Californian — George  G.,  as  the  most  likely  to  be  in 
the  lime  light.  If  California  should  quit  breeding 
trotters  the  Eastern  track  managers  would  soon  be 
short  on  star  attractions. 


THE  City  Council  of  Los  Angeles  has  repealed  tho 
ordinance  prohibiting  the  selling  of  poolB  within 
the  city  limits.  Eight  councilmen  voted  for  the  re- 
peal and  but  one  against  it.  This  means  that  pools 
will  be  sold  for  the  harness  races  at  Agricultural  Park 
next  month.     This  has  heretofore  been  prohibited. 


Native  Sons  to  Manage  Pavilion. 

The  Sacramento  Union  of  Thursday  contained  the 
following:  After  negotiating  over  terms  for  several 
weeks,  the  General  Celebration  Committee  of  the 
Native  Sons  and  the  resident  directors  of  the  State 
Agricultural  Society  last  evening  reached  an  agree- 
ment regarding  the  use  of  the  new  pavilion  during 
the  week  of  the  Admission  Day  celebration  and  the 
Native  Sons'  Electric  Carnival,  which  opens  Monday, 
September  3d. 

The  Sub-Committee  on  Entertainment,  with  Lester 
J.  Hinsdale  as  chairman,  acted  for  the  Native  Sons, 
and  Directors  C.  W.  Paine,  William  Land,  Thomas 
Fox  and  J.  W.  Wilson,  with  Secretary  Lindley,  ap- 
peared for  the  society. 

It  was  agreed  that  the  new  pavilion  on  Fifteenth 
street,  between  M.  and  N.,  should  be  turned  over  to 
the  Native  Sons  absolutely  for  a  specified  consideration 
arising  from  the  Native  Sons'  share  of  the  admission 
to  the  carnival  attractions  to  be  brought  to  this  city 
by  Nat  Reiss. 

It  is  intended  that  the  Pavilion  shall  be  decorated 
and  lighted  outside  and  within,  and  that  admission  to 
all  shall  be  free.  A  number  of  concessions  will  be 
quartered  within  Ihe  building,  and  its  use  enables  the 
local  committee  to  provide  desirable  headquarters  for 
all  the  parlors  that  have  failed  to  secure  outside  loca- 
tions. 

It  is  proposed  that  each  visiting  parlor  shall  bring 
to  Sacramento  a  display  of  fruit,  grain  or  other 
products  typical  of  the  section  whence  the  parlor 
comes.  To  encourage  this  idea  a  promoter  will  be 
sent  out  immediately  to  consult  with  the  Native  Sons 
everywhere  throughout  the  State.

Trotting  at  Vienna. 

Alta  Axworthy  (3)  2:10i  made  her  first  start  abroad 
at  Vienna  on  the  second  day  of  the  summer  meeting, 
the  first  week  in  May.  She  finished  fourth  to  Marvel 
Gir!  2:23|,  driven  by  Andy  McDowell.  Marvel  Girl  is 
also  a  member  of  the  Winans  stable,  and  started  from 
scratch.  The  distance  was  2600  meters,  time4:00  7-10. 
Behind  Alta  Axworthy  were  Lord  Revelstoke  2:125, 
Katherine  A.  2:14  and  others.  On  May  5  Andy  Mo. 
Dowell  won  the  Prince  Warwick  4000  kronen  prize  for 
three-year-olds  with  Leveriteby  E.  L.  Robinson  2:17J. 
It  was  the  greatest  race  ever  trotted  by  European- 
bred  three-year-olds,  the  time  for  the  2600  meters 
being  3:57  2-10. 

Palmer  Clark  says:  While  certain  so  called  families 
of  harness  horses  have  been  more  productive  of  speed 
than  others,  yet  those  of  us  who  have  been  long  con- 
nected with  the  same  have  seen  ihe  fashion  in  this 
respect  change  many  times.  So  much  has  to  be  taken 
into  a  consideration  as  to  what  has  been  instrumental 
in  the  way  of  miking-  certain  families  popular  tbat  I 
have  long  ago  come  to  the  belief  that  a  sensational 
trotter  or  pacer  is  just  as  likely  to  come  from  one 
strain  as  another.  Hence,  if  I  had  any  suggestion  to 
offer  in  the  way  of  breeding  the  trotter  it  would  simply 
be  to  use  judgment  in  mating  the  strains  that  have 
apparently  proved  the  most  successful  in  the  past, 
but  most  important  of  all  is  the  selection  of  individuals. 
If  you  get  a  good,  sound  individual  you  have  then 
got  a  good  horse,  and  if,  in  addition,  you  get  a  fast 
one,  then  you  are  that  much  better  off.  That  Is  as 
near  as  you  can  approach  science  in  the  breeding  of 
the  fast  harness  horse. 


The  American  Sportsman  of  Cleveland  says:  "The 
young  horse  Russell  G.  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  that  was 
started  for  the  first  time  In  Saturday's  matinee,  was 
purchased  some  years  ago  when  W.  P.  Murray  was  In 
California.  He  is  a  nice-going  trotter.  He  has  had 
but  little  work  and  should  be  a  useful  trotter  later  on. "

J.  B  Stetson  has  left  the  employ  of  J.  A.  Richard- 
son and  the  latter  has  been  training  his  own  horses  at 
Denver.  

The  association  at  Le  G-ande,  Eastern  Oregon,  will

$1000  purses  are  offered.    Entries  close  June  20th. 

Frank  E.  Wright  of  Sacramento  left  for  Los  Angeles 
last  Thursdav  with  nine  head  of  trotters  and  pacers, 
Kelly  Brlggs2:09J  and  H.  D.  B.  2:13  being  among 
them.  

Third  payment  has  been  made  on  twenty-five  three 
vear  old  colts  and  fillies  entered  in  the  Harness  Stal- 
lion Stake  to  be  trotted  at  the  California  State  Pair 
this  year. . 

Hallina  Morgan,  the  promising  old  pacing  mare 
that  has  been  winning  at  the  Western  Circuit  meet- 
ings was  sold  to  Joe  Barnett  of  Albuquerque  last  week 
for  $2500  and  another  horse. 


Warren  and  Jessie  Cornwell.of  Hollister,  recently 
brought  down  a  band  of  200  work  horses  from  Oregon 
which  they  will  feed  and  fit  for  sale. 

The  Yuba  and  Sutter  Driving  Club  will  give  a  race 
meeting  at  Marysvillein  the  fall,  probably  during  the 
latter  part  of  September.  A  meeting  continuing  three 
or  four  days,  with  good  purses,  is  contemplated. 

Henry  Helman  and  Henrv  Dunlap  worked'  their 
horses  Mack  Mack  2:12  and  Harold  D .,-  trotter  and 
pacer  respectively,  a  mile  together  in  2:13  at  Denver 
fast  Saturday.  Harold  D.  was  all  out  at^  the  fcnub, 
but  Mack  Mack  looked  good  (or  a  mile  in  2:10. 

Confienza  2:21},  the  James  Madison  mare  owned  by 
Ed  Gay  lord  of  Denver,  is  working  well  this  year  and 
should  reduce  her  record  materially.  She  worked  a 
mile  in  2:15  at  Denver  last  Saturday.  Confienza  is  an 
own  sister  to  Mr.  James  De  La  Montanya's  good  mare 
Tuna  2:08}.  

Thos.  Smith  of  Vallejo  was  in  town  this  week.  He 
states  that  inquiries  have  been  made  recently  by  par- 
ties who  desire  to  lease  the  Vallejo  track  for  two 
weeks  to  conduct  a  running  meeting.  Mr.  Smith 
reports  that  he  has  a  fine  span  of  horses  by  Mambrino 
Chief  Jr.  for  sale.  They  are  well  matched  and  can 
pole  together  a  mile  better  than  three  minutes. 

Robert  Leighton,  who  is  Secretary  of  the  Seattle 
association,  states  that  a  good  harness  meeting  will  be 
given  therein  September.  During  Mr.  Van  DeVanters 
illness  it  was  reported  that  no  harness  meeting  would 
be  given  there  this  year,  but  the  irrepressible  Van 
says  he  proposes  to  give  harness  horse  owners  a  chance 
to  race  for  good  purses.  If  Seattle  gives  a  meeting 
Portland  will  also  fall  in  line. 


A  few  copies  of  Ed  Geers'  book,  giving  his  experi- 
ence with  trotters  and  pacers,  are  for  sale  at  this  office 
at  half  price,  postage  added.  Send  $1.15  to  the 
Bkbeder  and  Sportsman  and  the  book  will  be  sent 
you.  

Several  speed  contests  were  held  at  the  Marysville 
track  last  Sunday  under  the  auspices  of  the  Yuba  and 
Sutter  Driving  Club.  The  races  were  half-mile  heats, 
best  two  in  three  and  were  enjoyed  by  quite  a  large 
crowd.  

James  Guerin,  a  well-known  horseman  residing  at 
Lytton  Springs,  Sonoma  county,  was  severely  injured 
one  day  last  week  by  an  unruly  colt  be  was  breaking. 
A  broken  rib  and  several  bruises  will  lay  him  up  for 
a  while.  

The  Rural  Spirit  says  that  C.  W.  Welby  has  leastd 
his  stallion  Yukon  2:14  to  Evans  &  Alderman  of  Cen- 
tralia,  Washington.  Then  the  reported  sale  of  this 
horse  for  $700  at  the  recent  auction  in  Portland,  was  a 
mistake.  

The  Western  Racing  Circuit  which  opened  at 
Fort  Collins  did  not  include  Trinidad  this  year.  For 
some  reason  or  other  the  entries  for  the  races  adver- 
tised for  that  track  were  very  few  and  the  meeting 
was  declared  off.  

Silver  Sign  2:10]  trotted  a  workout  mile  at  Denver 
last  *eek  in  2:10},  driven  by  his  owner,  Judge  E.  A. 
Colburn.  The  same  day  Belladl  worked  a  mile  in 
2:13},  and  Bon  Voyage,  Mr.  Clark's  three-year-old, 
a  mile  in  2:18  very  easily. 

A  rumor  having  become  current  that  several  San 
Francisco  gamblers  Intended  establishing  pool  rooms 
at  Point  Richmond,  the  Contra  Costa  Board  of  Super- 
visors have  passed  an  ordinance  prohibiting  book 
making  or  the  selling  of  pools  within  the  county. 


Geo.  T.  Beckers  has  taken  Zombro2:ll  to  Irvington 
track,  Portland,  and  will  keep  him  there  during  the 
stud  season  from  June  1st  to  September  1st.  Zombro 
Is  one  of  the  coming  great  sires  of  America  and  bis 
colts  are  showing  speed  wherever  they  are  worked. 
He  will  get  many  high  class  mares  In  Oregon. 


The  Los  Angeles  Harness  Hor6e  Association  pro- 
poses giving  two  $5000  purses  at  its  fall  meeting.  This 
should  attract  some  high  class  trotters  and  pacers  to 
California  to  winter,  and  arouse  great  interest  in  the 
result  of  the  events.    

Joe  McGuire,  of  Denver,  who  drives  Mr.  George 
Easterbrook's  horses,  was  seriously  injured  at  Las 
Vegas,  New  Mexico,  when  returning  from  the  races. 
He  was  riding  with  H.  E  Cahill,  of  Los  Angeles,  and 
one  wheel  of  the  carriage  went  off  the  end  of  a  small 
bridge,  overturning  the  rig  and  its  occupants  into  the 
arroya.  Both  men  received  deep  cuts  and  bruises 
about  the  face  and  head. 


A  race  for  $50  a  corner  was  contested  at  the  Santa 
Rosa  track  two  weeks  ago  between  three  trotters 
owned  in  western  Sonoma  county.  Socks,  sired  by  a 
son  of  Secretary  and  owned  by  P.  B.  Miller  of  Valley 
Ford  won  the  race  in  straight  heats,  Little  Pet  owned 
by  F.  Barnett  was  second  and  Al  Brak  owned  by 
Robert  Ritchie  was  third:  Time,  2:05  and  1:57*. 
Three  quarter  mile  heats. 

Catalogues  for  Mr.  E.  C.  Peart's  sale  of  Btandard 
bred  horses  to  take  place  August  9th  at  Colusa  have 
been  issued.  There  are  fourteen  norses  catalogued 
of  which  two  are  yearlings,  three  two-year-olds,  one

Mr.  P.  E.  Anzar,  of  San  Juan,  one  of  the  oldest 
subscribers  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  owns 
a  seven-year-old  stallion  that  has  as  much  of  the 
good  old  stout  blood  in  his  veins  as  any  horse  in  Cali- 
fornia. This  stallion  was  6ired  by  Billy  Thornhill 
2:24},  out  of  Ante  Noche  by  Antevolo  2:19J,  second 
dam  Ela  T.  by  Echo,  third  dam  Meves  by  A.  W.  Rich- 
mond, fourth  dam  Oriole  by  Blackbird  401.

Manuel  Kelly,  father  of  Geo.  A.  Kelly,  manager  of 
the  Pleasanton  training  track,  was  killed  May  29th  in 
Oakland  by  being  struck  by  a  train.  Mr.  Kelly,  who 
was  77  years  of  age,  had  arisen  very  early  to  go  fish- 
ing with  a  companion  and  when  walking  along  the 
track  was  struck  by  an  engine  that  suddenly  came 
around  a  curve  and  did  not  give  him  time  to  escape. 
He  was  struck  on  the  left  arm,  breaking  it  and  throw- 
ing him  heavily  against  a  large  rock  at  the  side  of  the 
track.  He  was  instantly  killed.  Mr.  Kelly  was  a 
native  of  South  Carolina  and  had  resided  in  this  State 
twenty  years.  

Next  Tuesday  at  the  old  Occidental  Horse  Exchange 
246  Third  street,  Mr.  F.  Gommet  will  sell  at  auction 
several  trotting  bred  mares.  Among  them  is  the 
royally  bred  mare  Mamie  Wilkes,  eleven  years  old, 
by  Guy  Wilkes,  out  of  the  great  broodmare  Mamie 
Kohl  by  Steinway.  Mamie  Wilkes  is  considered  to  be 
certainly  with  foal  to  Alta  Vela  2:11}  by  Electioneer. 
The  six-year-old  pacing  mare  Miss  Gommet  by  Sey- 
mour Wilkes  is  also  in  this  consignment.  Layng  & 
Dalziel  will  conduct  the  sale. 


The  picture  on  our  title  page  this  week  is  of  that 
good  trotter  Dr.  Hammond  2:12*  by  Chas.  Derby, 
that  has  the  distinction  of  being  ooe  of  the  few  horses 
that  have  beaten  Sweet  Marie  2:04J  in  a  race.  He  is 
owned  by  Capt.  J.  H.  Bennett,  of  this  city,  who  drives 
him  in  nearly  all  his  fast  work,  but  not  in  his  races. 
Capt  Bennett  is  an  excellent  amateur  reinsman  and 
takes  great  pleasure  in  driving  his  horses  on  the  road 
and  in  their  vork.        

Mr.  J.  A.  Jones  of  Springbrook,  Oregon,  made  us  a 
pleasant  call  this  week.  Mr.  Jones  is  the  owner  of 
that  good  McKinney  stallion  Captain  Jones,  and  also 
bred  and  sold  to  Smith  and  Durfee  the  filly  Belletnont 
by  Zombro  that  won  the  two-year-old  trotting  division 
of  the  Breeders  Futurity  and  was  the  fastest  filly  of 
her  age  out  last  season.  Mr.  Jones  has  several  horses 
in  training  at  Pleasanton  in  Dan  Misner's  string.  He 
has  entered  the  mare  Lady  Jones  at  the  Fresno 
meeting.  

Every  person  who  has  visited  the  Denver  track  dur- 
ing a  harness  meeting  knows  Cassidy,  the  one-armed 
and  one-legged  driver  who  straps  himself  to  the  sulky 
seat  and  drives  as  furiously  as  the  renowned  Jehu  of 
Holy  Writ.  At  Las  Vegas  last  week  Cassidy  was 
driving  in  a  race  aDd,  in  making  the  turn,  his  sulky 
was  upset  and  kicked  to  pieces  by  the  horse  Amble. 
Cassidy  was  severely  Injured,  but  promises  to  be  able 
to  pilot  a  few  winners  at  the  Denver  meeting  which 
opens  today.  

The  Hollister  Driving  Club  proposes  a  colt  Btake,  to 
be  trotted  for  as  three-year-olds,  for  foals  of  this  year. 
The  entrance  will  be  $100,  divided  into  five  equal  pay- 
ments. The  club  will  add  $200  to  the  purse.  The 
following  gentlemen  have  already  signified  their  in- 
tention to  enter,  and  there  may  be  others:  R.  P. 
Lathrop's  Dictatus-Diva,  R  I.  Orr's  Ora  Guy  Jr., 
Frank  Blessing's  Stam  B  -Salinas  Maid,  Ray  Mead's 
colt  by  Searchlight,  Geo.  E.  Shaw's  Benton  Boy- 
Nellie  Nutwood.    Entries  will  close  July  1st. 

It  does  not  always  do  to  overlook  the  well-bred 
youngsters  that  sell  cheap  at  the  big  auctions,  as  the 
following  illustrates:  Two  years  ago  at  the  New  York 
fall  sale  L.  S.  Gray  of  Swansea,  Mass.,  bought  a  three- 
year-old  filly  by  a  son  of  Prince  Regent  2:16*  very 
cheap,  and  upon  bis  return  home  sold  her  to  George  S. 
Nichols  of  Rehoboth,  Mass  ,  for  $200.  He  brushed 
her  some  on  the  road  and  her  speed  came  fast,  till  last 
winter  she  was  able  to  defeat  all  the  horses  on  the 
snow  path  In  the  Attleboros,  either  trotters  or  pacers. 
Over  a  third-of  a-mlle  course  she  trotted  in  44  seconds 
—a  2:12  gait— and  Nichols  then  refused  $2500  for  her. 
She  is  now  in  the  string  of  LeBter  Dore,  the  Taunton 
trainer,  who  will  campaign  her  this  season. 


The  Rural  Spirit  of  last  Friday  says:  "L.  B.  Lind- 
sey,  Sim  Lindsey,  James  Erwin  and  John  Lance  are  in 
Portland  this  week  on  their  way  to  Los  Angeles, 
where  they  will  open  the  racing  season.  The  Lindseys 
have  Queen  B.  (p)2:13},  Le  Roi  (p)  2:10},  The  Com- 
monwealth 2:16},  Satin  Royal  (3)  2:19}.  Jas.  Erwin  has 
Hassalo  2:11,  and  a  good  three  year-old  by  Bonner 
N.  B  ,  out  of  Eugene  Eddy  (dam  of  John  Edison  2:16, 
Oregon  Sunshine  (3)  2:16*.  by  Jerome  Eddy.  John 
Lance  has  bis  old  sweetheart,  Sam  Bowers  2:11  pacing 
that  has  been  converted  to  the  trot,  and  will  be  known 
as  a  green  trotter.  The  boys  will  rest  up  a  few  days  in 
Portland  before  going  to  the  land  of  sunshine  and  city 
of  angels. ,:  These  horses  passed  through  Sacramento 
this  week.  ^^_^^_^ 

The  trotters  and  pacers  at  Denver  have  been  work- 
ing well  during  the  past  week.  Helen  Norte  has  been 
working  around  the  2:15  mark  right  along,  and  last 
Friday  stepped  one  of  the  fastest  miles  this  season. 
With  Mr.  Rutherford  in  the  sulky  she  went  to  the 
eighth  pole  in  0:16  flat,  the  first  quarter  in  0:32J,  the 
the  second  in  0:32|,  breezed  out  the  third  in  0:34*  and 
came  the  last  one  in  0:32j,  doing  the  mile  in  2:12f,  the 
second  best  mile  at  Denver  this  year,  Silver  Sign  going 
the  distance  in  2:10*.  Getaway,  owned  by  J.  A. 
Richardson,  stepped  two  good  miles  in  2:17f  and  2:15*, 
with  Mr.  Hellman  up.  This  gentleman  has  Mack 
Mack  there  on  his  way  to  the  grand  circuit  and  in  all 
probability  will  handle  part  of  Mr.  Richardson's  6tring 
during  this  meet.         

In  a  letter  to  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  under 
date  of  June  7th,  Mr.  C.  A.  Harrison,  owner  of  the 
mare  Maid  of  Del  Norte  that  won  a  race  at  Victoria 
recently,  "vrites:  "The  Maid  of  Del  Norte  is  a  brown 
pacing  mare,  six  years  old,  sired  by  Del  Norte 2.08, 
dam  Little  Maid  2:1S  by  Rockwood.  Little  Maid  was 
bred  to  Cresceus  and  sold  by  me  to  Geo.  H.  Ketcham. 
Maid  of  Del  Norte  is  a  clever  pacer.  I  am  training 
her  and  Printers  Ink  (by  Altamont-Little  Maid)  at 
Victoria.  Expect  to  start  with  both  of  them  on  the 
half-mile  tracks  up  here  quite  often  this  season. 
While  we  can't  ride  so  fast  over  these  bad  tracks  we 
have  just  as  much  fun.  Capt.  John  by  Tennysonian 
is  showing  two-minute  speed  on  the  Vi.toria  track, 
and  I  will  again  say  that  I  consider  Capt.  John  one  of 
the  highest-class  pacers  I  ever  Baw." 


A  Chicago  paper  says  the  demand  forharness  horseB 
in  that  city,  both  on  domestic  and  foreign  account 
continues  active  and  aggressive.  The  offerings  are  of 
steady  volume  and  fair  quality.  Dealers  complain  of 
the  scarcity  of  high  class  actors  with  size,  finish  and 
symmetrical  proportions.  The  medium  grade  class 
are  active  at  $100  to  $140,  with  good  to  fancy  grades 
in  urgent  request  at  $150  to  $400  and  upward.  C.  C. 
Bart  of  Monticello,  la.,  topped  the  market  last  week 
with  a  lot  of  Iowa  trotting  bred  roadsters  that 
changed  hands  at  $150  to  $420,  the  bulk  of  the  offer- 
ings that  command  $300  and  upwards  being  taken  by 
local  professional  stables.  Dealers  generally  report 
the  demand  for  good  harness  horses  broader  with 
price  $25  to  $50  higher  for  first  class  offerings  than 
twelve  months  ago.  The  market  presented  an  even 
tone  with  general  demand  broader  than  the  supply. 


A  Denver  paper  sayB  the  successful  opening  of  the 
New  Mexico-Colorado  circuit  "marks  a  new  era  in 
western  harness  racing  as  it  promises  to  become  a 
permanent  fixture  If  the  circuit  could  be  opened  at 
Albuquerque  about  the  first  week  in  May  thereby 
closing  the  chain  of  meetings  at  Denver  by  the  first 
week  in  July  it  would  not  only  extend  the  season  for 
racing  harness  horses  but  afford  the  opportunity  long 
sought  by  many  northern, trainers  for  wintering  in 
the  south  and  then  practically  allowing  them  to  race 
their  horses  into  condition  on  the  way  north,  while 
earning  a  share  of  the  liberal  purseB  hung  up  before 
the  season  in  the  east  begins.  The  weather  conditions 
are  ideal,  the  tracks  good  and  with  the  railroads 
charging  enly  shipping  bills  one  way,  the  expense  is 
comparatively  light.  The  high  altitude  wtlh  its  rare- 
fied atmospheric  conditions  gives  the  horses  the  lung 
capacity  quite  essential  to  racing  form  as  muscle."

Going  Some  at  Woodland. 

It  did  not  require  the  present  spell  of  warm  weather 
to  heat  the  track  at  Woodland  Stock  Farm,  as  the 
trotters  and  pacers  have  been  "burning  it  up  recently  " 
getting  ready  for  the  big  meeting  at  Los  Angeles 
which  opens  now  in  a  two  weeks. 

F.  E.  Wright's  string  looks  like  a  money  earner. 
Kelly  Briggs  2:09}  paced  a  nice  mile  in  2:13  with  the 
last  half  in  1:03.  Pearl  S.a  green  pacer  worked  a 
mile  in  2:16,  Pat  Rose  a  green  trotter  one  in  2:17  with 
the  last  half  in  1:06,  a  three-year-old  pacer  stepped  a 
mile  in  2:21  with  the  last  quarter  in  32  seconds,  and  a 
three-year-old  trotter  showed  a  mile  at  2:26  with  the 
last  quarter  in  34  seconds.  All  of  Mr.  Wright's  horses 
look  well. 

H.  B.  Freeman  has  two  good  green  trotters,  both 
owned  by  F.  Ruhstaller  of  Sacramento.  Billy  Dooley 
by  Bay  Bird  worked  a  mile  in  2:16  with  the  last  eighth 
in  15  seconjds,  and  Wild  Bell  by  Wildrut  out  of  Bell 
Bird  by  Electioneer  trotted  a  mile  in  2:18  with  the  last 
half  in  1:08. 

Mr.  Stewart  showed  winning  speed  with  his  green 
pacer  Fearnot  this  week  when  he  worked  him  a  mile 
in  2:12J. 

Chas.  F.  Silva  &  Co. 's  green  pacer  Economizer  went 
a  mile  in  2:17  with  the  last  half  in  1:05. 

R.  H.  Nason  has  a  green  trotter  in  Tubelena  by 
Tuberose  that  was  given  a  mile  in  2:19  and  can  beat 
that  quite  a  bit. 

AlCharvo  has  two  very  promising  pacing  colts  by 
Diablo — a  three-year-old  out  of  Belle  Button  that  with 
very  little  training  can  show  a  2:16  gait,  and  a  two- 
year-old  that  can  step  close  to  2:20. 

Mannie  Reams,  who  has  moved  his  string  here  from 
Dixon,  gave  Ray  Bennett's  trotter,  Oro  Belmont,  a 
mile  in  2:16  this  week  with  the  last  quarter  in  31 J 
seconds.  This  looks  like  part  of  the  money  in  th6 
S2000  California  Stake  will  be  within  his  reach.  He 
drove  Miss  Winn,  the  Demonio  mare  that  was  out 
last  year,  a  mile  in  2:12£. 

Al  and  Walter  Ma3ten  are  both  going  slowly  with 
their  horses,  but  have  several  good  ones  and  will  be 
at  the  races  with  them. 

Ed  Donnelly  has  a  very  promising  trotter  by  Clar- 
ence Wilkes  and  several  nicely-gaited  colts  by  Sutter 
2:18,  a  son  of  Sam  Gamble's  old  horse  Noonday  10000. 

H.  S.  Hogoboom  has  a  string  of  good  green  ones, 
among  them  three  three-year-olds  that  can  beat  2:30, 
one  by  Iran  Alto,  one  by  Stam  B.  and  one  by  Nut- 
wood Wilkes. 

W.  Tryon  is  training  the  green  trotting  mare 
Blanche  T.  by  Stickle,  son  of  Silver  Bow.  This  mare 
is  a  great  prospect. 

William  Hashagen  is  working  two  youngsters  that 
are  very  likely  trotters  One  is  a  three-year-old  by 
McKinney,  the  other  a  two-year-old  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes. 

Peter  Fryatt,  the  veteran,  has  two  or  three  good 
ones  that  are  not  only  fast  but  fine  lookers. 

Woodland  Stock  Farm  has  some  very  promising 
colts.  A  three-year-old  by  Nushagak  has  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:18J.  Another  three-year-old  by  the  same 
sire  that  was  not  broken  until  this  spring  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:29,  with  the  last  quarter  in  34  seconds. 
There  are  three  other  three-year-olds  in  the  string 
that  can  beat  2:30,  all  sired  by  Nushagak.  A  three- 
year-old  by  Prince  Ansel,  dam  by  Nushagak,  has 
trotted  a  mile  in  2:24J,  last  half  in  1:10,  last  quarter  in 
34  seconds.  They  have  two  two-year-olds,  both  by 
Nushagak.  One,  a  pacer,  has  worked  in  2:24,  last 
half  in  1:10,  last  quarter  in  34  seconds;  the  other  is  a 
trotter  and  can  beat  2:30.

The  New  Park  Speedway. 

About  twenty  men,  forty  horses  and  a  big  steam 
engine  are  at  work  every  day  on  the  new  athletic 
grounds  and  speedway  in  Golden  Gate  Park.  Many 
hundred  tons  of  Band  and  earth  have  already  been 
moved  by  theBe  workers,  but  many  more  will  have  to 
be  displaced  before  the  big  oval  will  begin  to  assume 
shape.  It  will  probably  take  until  the  end  of  the 
year  before  the  new  track  will  be  ready  to  drive  over, 
and  it  may  require  a  few  months  longer,  but  when  the 
work  is  all  done  San  Francisco  will  be  able  to  boast  of 
the  finest  recreation  ground  in  the  world.  Thelocation 
is  an  ideal  one,  beautiful  evergreens  surrounding  the 
oval  which  is  to  be  located  in  one  of  the  most  pictur- 
esque spots  in  the  park.  Drives,  automobile  roads, 
bridle  and  bicycle  paths  all  lead  to  it  and  the  electric 
railway  passes  within  a  few  yards  of  it.  The  grading 
of  the  big  sand  hills  by  the  horse  and  steam  scrapora 
is  a  most  interesting  sight,  and  visitors  to  Golden 
Gate  Park  visit  the  place  every  day  to  6ee  how  the 
work  is  progressing.  Within  the  next  two  months 
the  work  will  begin  to  show  something  definite  to  the 
casual  observer,  which  is  not  the  case  now  although 
a  great  deal  has  been  accomplished.

meeting  closed  day  before  yesterday  and  while  full 
returns  are  not  in  yet,  everything  points  to  a  big  entry 
list  and  some  of  the  best  racing  ever  seen  in  California. 
None  of  the  stalls  were  burned  and  it  is  proposed  to 
begin  work  on  the  new  stand  immediately  so  that  it 
will  be  finished  in  time  for  the  meeting,  which  will 
open  July  19th.  The  club  house  and  grand  stand  were 
erected  about  eighteen  years  ago  and  cost  over  $15,000 
to  build.  Some  years  ago  the  county  hospital  of 
Fresno  was  destroyed  by  fire,  and  the  Supervisors 
purchased  the  fair  grounds  and  turned  the  club  house 
into  a  hospital.  Now  a  fine  new  hospital  has  been 
erected  and  there  is  a  movement  on  foot  to  have  the 
Supervisors  fix  up  the  fair  grounds  for  the  purpose  of 
holding  county  fairs.  Fresno  could  give  as  fine  an 
annual  exhibit  of  products  as  any  county  in  the  United 
States,  as  it  is  famous  for  many  things  besides  raisins. 
The  destruction  of  the  buildings  last  Saturday  by  fire 
was  a  big  loss  to  the  county  and  yery  unfortunate  at 
this  time,  but  the  cost  of  putting  up  a  new  stand  will 
be  the  onlyinconvenience  so  far  as  the  Breeders  meet- 
ing is  concerned.  The  fire  was  caused  by  a  defective 
flue  in  a  small  cookhouse  adjoining  the  club  house. 


Took  Pathmark  Into  Camp. 


An  exciting  matinee  of  one  act  occurred  at  Corvallis 
June  2d.  Pathmark  2:11},  king  of  the  local  turf  and 
greatest  guideless  mud  pacer  in  Oregon,  met  an  un- 
known and  left  his  laurels  to  wither  in  that  stretch  of 
unreclaimed  country  occupied  by  thesnipe,  the  bittern 
and  Rube  Kiger's  race  track.  Pathmark  is  being 
campaigned  and  driven  by  "  his  proud  and  indulgent 
owner,  Uncle  Jess  Brown.  Along  came  a  parcel  of 
Gypsies,  with  a  sorry  looking  five  cornered  pacer 
tied  to  the  tail  board  of  the  last  van.  Seekers  for 
trouble  usually  find  it  So  Pathmark  and  theRomany 
horse  were  brought  together  for  a  half  mile  dash,  for 
$50  aside.  Pathmark  had  a  Peruna  shampoo  and  was 
clad  in  new  and  ample  pajamas  and  expected  to  win 
feet  down.  The  Gypsy  pacer,  sex,  age,  color  and 
breeding  unknown,  proved  Incorrigible  to  sulky  and 
was  sent  under  saddle,  Pathmark  being  driven  to  a 
light  road  cart  weighing  about  as  much  as  a  barrel  of 
flour.  The  Gypsy  drove  the  good  son  of  Pathmont 
to  a  quick  break,  negotiating  the  half  in  1:16  and  win- 
ning the  race,  distance  flag  being  barred.  It  is  said 
that  quite  a  collection  was  taken  up  by  the  strangers, 
who  still  had  speed  to  spare  and  afterwards  sought 
fresh  pastureB,  fresh  owners  of  speedy  harness  horBes 
and  opportunity  to  invest  the  winnings  in  a  supply  of 
the  fluid  that  made  Missouri  jealous,  now  out  of  stock 
in  Benton  county. — Portland  Sural  Spirit. 


The  Single  Broodmare  Owner. 

We  often  hear  some  gentlemen  who  really  does  not 
pose  as  a  trotting  horse  breeder,  but  who  owns  a 
good  broodmare  or  two,  and  who  is  really  and  truly  a 
trotting  horse  fancier,  though  engaged  in  some  other 
line  of  business,  say,  in  substance,  says  the  Western 
Horseman:  "Why,  what  use  is  there  of  me  breeding 
my  single  broodmare  to  a  high  class  speed  sire  with  a 
view  of  raising  something  really  meritorious?  What 
show  have  I  against  the  big  breeder  with  his  fields  full 
of  good  mares,  and  his  millions  to  develop  their  pro- 
duce." Never  could  a  more  erroneous  conclusion  be 
drawn.  Indeed,  the  "single  broodmare  owner"  is  the 
man  of  all  men  who  can  best  afford  to  patronize  great 
sires,  for  it  is  he  who  stands  the  best  chance  to  realizes 
handsomely  on  his  investment.  It  is  the  Bingle  brood- 
mare owner  who  nearly  always  owns  the  really  good 
mare,  and  it  is  he  who  can,  and  does,  nearly  always, 
take  the  best  care  of  his  mare,  grows  his  youngsters 
best,  meets  with  the  fewest  accidents,  and  really 
breeds  and  turn9  out  the  real  money  winners.  It  is 
he  who  can  give  every  well-bred  colt  he  raisesa  chance 
and  it  is  he  who,  if  he  patronizes  good  sires  and 
cares  for  the  produce,  who  makes  the  largest  per  cent 
on  his  money  invested — and  gains  distinction  as  a  suc- 
cessful trotticg-horse  breeder. 

It  was  the  single  broodmare  owner,  Dr.  Talbert,  the 
Lexington,  Ky.,  dentist,  who  bred,  raised  and  sold  for 
a  neat  fortune  Alcantara  2:23,  Alcyone  2:27  (sire  of 
McKinney),  Allendorf  2:19J,  Alfonso  2:29},  Arbiter 
2:22|,  and  others,  all  out  of  the  single  broodmare, 
Alma  Mater.  It  was  the  single  broodmare  owner,  the 
dry  goods  merchant.,  Mr  D.  A.  Messner,  Jr.,  of 
Oxford,  Ind.,  who  bred  Dan  Patch  1:56  and  sold  him 
for  $30,000.  It  was  the  then  small  breeder  and  tele- 
graph operator,  C.  B.  Williams,  who  bred  Axtell  and 
Allerton.  It  was  the  single  broodmare  owner,  Mr. 
Frank  C.  Schumacher,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  who  bred 
Sweet  Marie  2:04|,  last  year's  racing  queen  of  the 
trotting  turf.  It  was  the  single  broodmare  owner, 
Henry  Plumb,  Des  Moines,  la.,  who  bred  Tiverton 
2:04},  the  sensational  trotting  gelding  of  last  year- 
It  wa^  the  single  brood  mare  owner,  Mr.  Bedford 
Barnes,  Ladoga,  Ind.,  who  bred  John  Taylor  2:08}, 
the  M.  ann  M.  stake  winner  of  1903.  It  was  the  cattle 
raiser,  farmer  and  single  broodmare  owner,  Mr.  Jesse 
Turney,  Paris,  Ky.,  who  bred  the  "blind  champion," 
Rythmic  2:06},  and  it  is  the  single  broodmare  owner 
who  has  been  the  mainstay  of  the  trotting  turf  ever 
since  the  first  trotter,  Lady  Suffolk,  entered  the 
"charmed  circle"  of  2:30  away  back  in  1845. 

No  "big  breeder"  can  so  well  afford  to  patronize 
high-service  fee  and  strictly  high-quality  sires  as  can 
the  single  broodmare  owner,  nor  does  lightning  so 
often  strike  him,  in  proportion  to  the  number  of 
mares  he  breeds,  in  the  way  of  sensationally  great 
performers,  great  sires  and  great  dams.  The  single 
broodmare  owner,  and  the  small  breeder,  generally 
has  the  good  luck  to  get  his  mare  in  foal;  he  lavishes 
his  attention  and  care— unless  he  is  a  truly  careless 
and  indifferent  man — entirely  on  the  one  foal,  or  the 
few;  he  can  grow  it  well  at  a  trifling  expense,  and 
when  it  is  old  enough  he  can  have  it  trained  at  an 
expense  w  hich  he  hard  ly  feels  at  all ,  and  ere  he  realizes 
it  he  has  a  valuable  piece  of  property  which  he  can 
turn  off  at  a  snug  profit,  or  carry  along  a  while  longer 
and  constantly  increase  his  profit.  So  instead  of  being 
at  a  disadvantage,  the  single  broodmare  owner  has  a 
decided  advantage  over  his  "big  brother"  breeder, 
and  he  is  the  man  of  all  men  who  can  best  afford  to, 
and  with  the  surest  ehances  of  rich  returns,  patronize 
the  very  best  speed  sires. 


Opening  of  San  Jose  Track. 

The  new  management  of  the  San  Jose  track  adver. 
tised  a  grand  opening  for  last  Saturday  and  three  or 
four  hundred  people  attended  to  see  the  "races"  and 
other  amusements  provided.  As  all  horsemen  were 
aware  the  races  were  simply  workouts.  Daedallon 
2:10  and  High  Fly  2:24}  worked  a  heat,  the  former 
leading  at  the  wire  in  2:21.  T.  W.Barstow  drove  his 
three-year-old  pacer  Just  It  a  half  in  1:10.  Budd 
Doble  exhibited  his  great  stallion  Kinney  Lou  2:07J 
and  also  Parker  McKinney,  Kinney  Al,  and  several 
others  in  his  string.  Milbrae,  Dew  Drop  and  Bird 
Catcher  worked  out  two  heats.  Milbrae  led  to  the 
wire  in  both  heats,  his  time  being  2:25  and  2:17}.  Mr_ 
Barstow  then  drove  Alone  2:09}  a  mile.  She  finished 
in  2:17J.  She  was  not  started  to  beat  2:02  as  the 
advertisement  ridiculously  stated.  Mr.  M.  C  Barnett 
drove  his  mare  Paloma  a  mile  in  2:23J.  Several  other 
horses  were  worked  out  during  the  afternoon. 

This  opening  day  was  advertised  In  the  daily  press 
as  a  race  meeting,  which  was  not  the  case.  Word  was 
sent  out  that  Budd  Doble  would  drive  Kinney  Lou 
against  his  record  of  2:07},  which  was  a  ridiculous  ' 
statement  made  without  the  knowledge  of  Mr.  Doble. 
Kinney  Lou  has  not  been  driven  a  mile  at  speed  for  a 
year.

JOTTINGS. 


AN  INTERESTING  STUDY  is  the  gait  of  trottiDg 
horses,  and  among  those  who  havedevoted  much 
time  to  it  is  Mr.  Rudolph  Jordan,  Jr.,  a  capitalist  and 
real  estate  dealer  of  this  city.  Mr.  Jordan  has  been  a 
breeder  of  trotters  for  some  years,  having  bred  among 
others  the  mare  Margaret  Worth  2:15  and  the  gelding 
El  Mllagro2:l]L  Mr.  Jordan  was  at  the  San  Jose 
track  on  Tuesday,  May  30th,  and  through  the  kiiid- 
nees  of  Budd  Doble,  took  many  measurements  of  Lou 
D. lion's  strides  when  at  speed.  A  hundred  yards  of 
the  track  was  smoothed  off  on  the  back  stretch,  over 
which  Mr.  Doble  moved  the  champion  trotterata  2:10 
gait,  after  which  Mr.  Jordan  went  to  work  with  a 
steel  tape  measure  making  accurate  measurements  of 
her  strides,  and  the  peculiarities  of  her  gait.  Of  these 
he  made  a  chart,  one  copy  of  which  was  sent  to  Mr* 
Doble,  another  to  Mr.  Billings  and  another  to  the 
writer.  Mr.  Jordan  found  by  his  measurements  of  25 
strides  made  by  the  mare,  that  the  average  was  19  26 
faet  or  about  19  feet  and  3  inches  to  each  stride  for 
every  leg.  He  also  found  that  on  the  average  her  off 
fore  foot  slrlded  3-10  of  an  inch  less  than  her  near  fore 
foot,  and  that  the  off  hind  foot  strided  2  and  4-10 
inches  less  than  the  near  hind  foot.  At  the  time  these 
measurements  were  made  Lou  Dillon  wore  6-ounce 
plain  shoes  in  front,  with  leather  rim  pads,  3-ounce 
shoes  behind  with  web-swaged  swelled  heels.  The 
angle  of  each  front  foot  is  46  degrees,  of  each  hind 
foot  48  degrees,  and  the  length  of  toe  is  the  same  on 
every  foot — 3J  inches.  The  cross  over  of  her  front 
feet  in  trotting  or  walking  has  often  been  commented 
upon  by  those  who  have  seen  the  mare  at  work.  Mr. 
Jordan  found  by  actual  measurement  that  the  cross- 
over was  nearly  six  inches.  Her  near  fore  foot  toes  in 
at  an  angle  of  2  degrees,  and  the  off  fore  foot  toes  oat 
at  an  angle  of  1.4  degrees.  Mr.  Jordan  has  made 
many  experiments  for  the  purpose  of  correcting  faulty 
or  deficient  action,and  from  an  analysis  of  Lou  Dillon's 
gait  as  shown  by  her  hoof  prints  in  the  experiment  at 
Sin  Jose,  he  has  made  the  following  deductions: 

1.  The  greatest  variations  are  in  strides  of  off  fore 
and  off  hind  feet,  showing  these  to  be  somewhat  de- 
ficient. 

2.  The  mare  seems  to  shift  a  little  to  near  side, 
more  so  behind. 

3.  The  off  fore  foot  is  3-10  of  an  inch  behind  the 
near  fore  foot.    Off  is  the  larger  foot. 

4.  The  off  hind  foot  averages  2.4  inches  behind  the 
near  hind  foot. 

5.  The  break-over  at  toes  shows  remarkably  quick 
and  powerful  action  in  front;  the  break-over  of  off 
bind  foot  shows  much  less  of  it. 

6.  The  off  fore  and  near  hind  feet  being  larger  hoofs 
are  also  likely  to  be  heavier  hoofs;  such  increased 
weight  with  reference  to  other  two  mates  accounts 
for  retarded  extension  in  off  fore,  and  increased  ex- 
tension in  near  hind  foot. 

7.  Off  hind  may  be  longer  foot  or  leg,  and  can 
therefore  not  reach  forward  enough.  Often  a  J  inch 
less  toe,  with  heel  reduced  to  keep  angle  of  foot  the 
same,  increases  reach  and  equalizes  hind  action. 

8.  Off  hind  may  require  a  slightly  heavier  shoe 
than  near  hind  besides  being  shortened,  and  perhaps 
angle  of  foot  made  1  degree  less  than  near  hind. 

9.  Outside  heel  of  off  hind  striking  ground  hard 
tends  to  show  that  unless  there  is  a  defect  in  liga- 
ments and  tendons,  possibly  the  angle  of  foot  should 
he  less  or  the  foot  shorter. 

10.  Definite  knowledge  of  the  pecularities  of  gait 
by  means  of  computing  the  averages  gives  one  a 
correct  idea  which  is  apt  to  suggest  remedies  sooner 
than  mere  guessing. 

Mr.  Jordan  sums  up  that  the  two  great  points  in 
L'>u  1). lion's  locomotion  are  (1)  her  wonderful  reach 
forward  of  both  fore  and  hind  legs,  and  (2)  the  fact 
that  the  lines  of  motion  of  fore  and  hind  are  so 
different  and  non-Interfering,  in  fact  they  compensate 
each  other. 

The  chart  which  Mr.  Jordan  has  made  is  one  that 
is  wo-lhj  of  extensive  study,  and  the  fact  that  it  is 
based  on  averages  obtained  from  the  careful  measure- 
ment of  25  strides,  will  make  the  deductions  from  It 
of  much  more  weight  than  any  formed  from  the 
measurements  of  two  or  three.  H.

it  many  seconds  faster,  for  it  took  a  strong  arm  to 
hold  her.  The  last  half  was  made  in  1:08.  Mr.  De 
Ryder  worked  the  handsome  little  black  Directwell 
an  easy  mile  with  one  of  Clarence  Ware's  pacers  in 
2:24,  with  the  last  quarter  in  34}  seconds.  That  was 
about  as  fast  as  any  of  them  had  been  up  to  that  time. 
The  handsome  black  trotter  Danube  was  highly 
•omplimented  for  his  beauty  as  well  as  his  show  of 
speed.  He  worked  a  mile  close  to  the  2:20  notch  and 
possesses  all  the  earmarks  of  a  sure  enough  corker. 
Consuela  S.,  Bolivar,  Lita  and  the  others  of  the  ex- 
tensive string  were  given  miles  from  2:23  to  2:30,  and 
all  are  looking  in  the  very  best  form. 

One  of  the  biggest  "boss  trades"  made  in  this  city 
recently  was  when  Mr.  Walter  Jermyn  sold  his  entire 
string  of  trotters  and  pacers  to  Col.  W.  C.  Greene,  the 
Arizona  copper  operator,  who  maintains  quite  an  exten- 
sive  string  of  light  harness  horses  at  the  Harriman 
stable  near  the  lower  entrance  to  the  speed  way  The 
sale  included  the  fast  trotters  Mary  Jo  and  Boralma's 
Brother,  which  have  been  prominent  in  the  speedway 
matinees  this  spring  as  well  as  in  the  regular  Sunday 
morning  brushes  on  the  great  drive.  In  addition  to 
these  were  the  sensational  youngsters  Paul  D.  Kelly 
and  Billings,  which  are  now  in  training  at  the  Empire 
track.  It  is  said  that  Mr.  Jermyn  contemplates  a  trip 
to  Europe  this  year,  which  is  his  reason  for  selling. 
The  sale  was  made  the  latter  part  of  last  week  and 
was  quite  a  surprise  to  Mr.  Jermyn's  friends  among 
the  road  drivers.  Col.  Greene  likes  to  have  a  lot  of 
fast  ones  around  him  and  will  use  them  on  the  speed- 
way, with  the  exception  of  the  youngsters,  which  he 
will  keep  where  they  are  for  the  time  being  at  least. 
The  price  was  not  made  public,  although  reported  to 
lie  $4500,  an  average  of  over  $1000. — Trotter  and  Facer.

Helen  Koyos,  the  fast  California  mare  in  Mr.  James 
Butler's  stable  of  campaigners,  has  jumped  Into  great 
popularity  with  the  visitors  to  Empire  track  on 
workout  days,  although  she  has  not  been  allowed  to

her  to  ilo  as  she  liked  she  certainly  would  have  made 


W.  J.  FROST,  Portervilie— Signal  3327  was  by  Bun- 
day's  Rob  Roy,  a  son  of  Bennett's  Rob  Roy.  His 
dam's  breeding  is  unknown.  If  you  can  give  us  the 
name  of  the  stallion  that  stood  at  Chico  we  can  prot» 
ably  give  you  his  breeding 


ChaS.  L.  Becker,  S.  P.—  There  is  no  record  of  a 
horse  weighing  1500  pounds  having  trotted  or  paced  a 
mile  in  2:20,  and  we  doubt  if  a  horse  of  that  weight 
has  ever  shown  such  speed. 


W.  A.  Sotfin,  Marysville — The  evidence  of  a  Jer- 
sey bull's  breeding  is  in  his  pedigree  and  not  his 
color.  If  he  is  by  a  pure  bred  Jersey  bull  and  from  a 
pure  bred  Jersey  cow  he  is  a  full-blooded  Jersey. 
Otherwise  he  is  not.  Some  Jerseys  are  nearly  black, 
others  are  fawn  color  and  some  nearly  white.  One 
should  never  accept  any  animal  as  pure  bred  unless 
pedigree  is  furnished. 

Made  It  Pay. 

To  show  what  one  really  live  man  who  is  interested 
can  accomplish  we  take  the  following  from  the 
Breeders  Gazette:  "In  the  end  of  May  John  S  Bratton 
organized  a  horse  show  in  the  pavilion  at  the  East  St. 
Louis  Stock  Yards.  His  object  was  to  obtain  money 
enough  to  pay  off  a  debt  of  $3000  which  had  burdened 
the  Henrietta  Hospital  for  some  time.  Mr.  Bratton 
was  recently  appointed  a  governor  of  that  institution 
and  suggested  to  his  co-governors  that  they  try  to 
raise  the  debt.  He  offered  to  raise  the  money  in  a 
single  night,  and  he  did  it  at  the  horse  show.  Four 
thousand  persons  gathered  to  see  the  show  and  only  a 
week  was  taken  in  getting  out  the  program  and  ad- 
vertising the  gathering.  A.  A.  Busch  carried  off  the 
lion's  share  of  the  honors.  Judges  were  H.  P.  Crane, 
St.  Charles,  111.;  O.  P.  Updegraff,  Topeka,  Kan  ,  and 
Dr.  W.  R.  Faulkner,  St.  Louis." 


Mr.    F.    L.    Hodgkns    on    the    Popular   Horse. 

The  most  profitable  horse  for  the  farmer  to  raise  is 
thus  described  by  Mr.  Francis  L.  Hodgkins  the  well 
known  horse  breeder  of  San  Joaquin  county,  in  a 
communication  to  the  California  Cultivator. 

1.  For  ordinary  farm  use  the  average  farmer  likes 
a  1300-pound  horse.  This  sized  horse  is  large  enough 
to  put  into  the  plow  and  do  a  good  day's  work — he 
makes  a  good  size  for  orchard  cultivating,  or  can  be 
hitched  on  to  the  mower  and  hay  wagon  and  give 
good  satisfaction,  and  is  also  not  too  large  to  trot  into 
town  with  a  small  load  and  make  a  quick  trip.  A 
good  horse  of  this  size  can  cover  a  good  deal  more 
ground  than  a  large  draft  horse  and  is  a  very  con- 
venient weight  for  general  ranch  work. 

2.  There  are  comparatively  few  full  blooded  mares 
of  either  the  Belgian  or  Percheron  breed  in  California, 
and  the  male  offspring  of  these  mares  are  generally 
used  for  stud  purposes.  The  average  weight  of  a 
Percheron  stallion  in  good  flesh  is  from  1800  to  2000 
pounds,  and  of  a  Belgian  stallion  from  2000  to  2300 
pounds.  The  Belgian  breed  is  by  far  the  larger  in 
most  cases. 

3.  The  cross  of  a  good  Percheron  stallion  on  our 
ordinary  farm  mares  makes  an  exceedingly  fine  work 
horse.  The  Percheron  stallion  is  without  exception 
the  best  known  stallion  of  the  draft  breeds  in  America 
today.  You  have  only  too  look  at  the  geldings  used 
by  all  the  large  circuses  to  get  an  idea  of  how  this 
breed  crosses  with  our  mares.  Look  at  most  of  the 
brewery  teams,  Wells-Fargo  teams,  fire  engine  horses, 
in  fact  anywhere  a  medium-sized  large  work  horse 
say  from  1600  to  1800  pounds)  is  needed  to  do  quick 
and  fairly  heavy  work,  and  you  will  find  that  most  all 
of  these  horses  show  very  distinctly  the  Percheron 
type.  I  do  not  say  that  the  Belgian,  Shire,  Clyde,  or 
any  of  the  other  draft  breeds,  do  not  produce  as  good 
geldings  as  the  Percheron,  but  the  trouble  seems  to  be 
in  getting  mares  of  sufficient  draft  to  cross  with  them 
to  get  the  desired  result.  In  my  mind  the  Percheron 
stallion  crosses  better  with  the  average  California 
work  mare  than  any  of  the  other  draft  breeds.  I 
might  say  here  that  the  Percheron  team  of  geldings 
shown  at  the  St.  Louis  and  Chicago  horse  shows  took 
the  first  prize  at  both  places. 

4.  I  think  there  is  a  good  field  foi  the  production 
of  full-blooded  horses  of  thedraft  breeds  in  California. 
The  farmer  who  raises  a  few  colts  every  year  has  to 
have  stallions  to  breed  his  mares  to,  and  the  day 
when  anything  but  a  full-blooded  sire  will  do  is  past. 
Consequently,  now  they  are  buying  imported  stallions 
from  the  old  countries  (France,  England,  Germany 
and  Belgium)  With  our  climatic  conditions  I  cannot 
see  why  the  stock  raisers  of  California  cannot  produce 
as  good  an  animal  as  can  be  produced  anywhere  in 
the  world. 

Of  course,  to  do  this  the  mares  have  first  to  be 
found,  and  a  really  first-class  broodmare  (fullblooded) 
costs  very  nearly  as  much  as  a  stallion.  Providing 
that  we  have  the  mares,  and  the  stallion,  we  can  surely 
raise  as  good,  if  not  better,  stock  than  can  be  raised 
anywhere  in  the  world,  and  with  our  climate  they 
ought  to  mature  very  much  quicker. 

5.  There  is  no  doubt  in  my  mind  that  there  will  be 
as  great  a  demand  for  good,  sound  draught  geldings 
ten  years  from  now  as  there  is  at  the  present  time.  Cali- 
fornia is  noticeably  very  shy  on  good  broodmares, 
and  we  have  first,  to  raise  the  mares  tjforewe  can 
expect  tolbe  able  to  raise  the  strictly  first-class  gelding 
that  will  command  the  top  price.  Not  very  long  ago 
I  was  talking  to  one  of  the  biggest  buyers  of  draught 
horses  in  California,  and  he  told  me  that  next  year 
he  expected  to  have  to  go  to  the  Chicago  market  for 
his  draught  geldings,  as  he  could  not  find  enough  in 
this  State.  The  horse  that  will  command  the  highest 
price  in  the  future  is  the  large,  sound  truck  horse, 
and  the  man  that  has  this  kind  for  sale  need  never  be 
scared  of  not  getting  a  good  large  price  for  them,  and 
I  do  not  think  that  there  is  any  danger  of  the  horse 
market  being  overrun  with  this  kind  of  a  horse.  In 
the  dullest  of  horse  times  a  good  large  draught 
gelding  always  brought  a  good  figure. 


Fine  Sulkies   and  Carts. 


The  San  Francisco  Wheel  and  Novelty  Company  at 
Sixteenth  and  Valencia  Btreets,  Coast  agents  for  the 
Flower  City  sulkies  and  carts,  has  just  received  a  car 
Old  ol  these  vehicles  that  are  the  admiration  of  every 
horseman  who  has  seen  them.  The  sulkies  come  in 
either  white  or  red,  and  are  the  lighest  and  strongest 
built  sulkies  made.  The  carts  are  perfect  models  of 
strergtb  and  lightness,  and  come  in  four  different 
colors.  A  rich  yellow  cart  is  one  of  the  handsomest 
vehicles  ever  built  for  road  riding.  It  has  a  low  seat 
and  will  carry  a  300  pound  man  or  a  100-pound  boy 
without  making  a  difference  of  two  pound  s  at  the  end 
of  the  3hafts,  so  nicely  is  it  balanced. 


Dan  Patch  Eats  It. 


The  full  page  advertisement  of  the  International 
Stock  Food  whieh  occupies  the  last  page  of  this  issue 
of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  hasa  very  spirited 
reproduction  of  a  photograph  made  of  Dan  Patch  in 
one  of  his  record  breaking  miles,  urged  on  by  three 
running  horses  hitched  to  6ulkies.  It  should  not  be 
forgotten  that  Dan  Patch  eats  International  Stock 
Food,  and  as  he  is  the  fastest  harness  horse  the  world 
ever  saw,  there  must  be  something  in  the  claim  that 
this  food  gives  a  good  appetite,  which  brings  more 
strength  and  consequently  more  speed.  See  the  offer 
in  this  advertisement  to  send  free  of  charge  beautiful

able  to  trot  in  2:20.      

Leonor  2:24  dam  of  Jenny  Mac  2:09,  Dr.  Book  2:10 
and  grandam  of  Irish  2:081  has  foaled  a  handsome  bay 
colt  by  McKinney  2:111.  She  is  owned  by  H.  H.  Lucke, 
Spring  Valley,  N.  Y.  

The  pacing  horse  Owen  Gallagher  by  Simon  (sire  of 
Free  Bond  2:041)  out  of  the  dam  of  Gallagher  2:031, 
started  in  his  first  race  at  Seafortb,  Out.,  June  1st, 
and  won  second  money.  He  is  owned  by  A.  Bedford 
of  Chatham  and  will  take  a  fast  record  before  many 
moons.  He  is  a  big,  strong-going  stallion  and  attracts 
general  attention. 


An  open  air  horse  show  will  be  held  at  the  Fair 
Grounds,  St.  Louis,  in  October  under  the  manage- 
ment of  A.  A.  Busch  and  John  S.  Bratton.  The  track 
will  afford  a  grand  chance  for  jumping  and  four-in- 
hand  races  with  gentlemen  riders. 


Ed  Abrams  of  Tiffin,  O. ,  will  race  in  the  Lake  Erie 
Circuit  the  green  mare  Jean  by  Heir-at-Law  2:05|, 
out  of  Lady-in-Waiting,  sister  to  Ed  Easton  2:091  by 
Chimes.  Jean  has  shown  a  mile  in  2:171,  a  quarter  in 
31  seconds  and  an  eighth  in  15  seconds. 


F.  J.  Park  is  the  latest  one  picked  to  trim  Walter 
Direct  in  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  Stake.  He 
worked  in  2:08},  2:07}  and  2:09  last  fall. 


Will  Evans  has  a  yearling  at  the  Lexington  track 
by  Todd  2:14|,  out  of  the  dam  of  Country  Jay  2:104 
that  trotted  a  quarter  in  351  seconds  the  other  day" 
He  is  said  to  be  the  fastest  yearling  ever  seen  there 
but  there  is  hardly  a  possibility  of  his  being  started 
for  the  record  this  fall.    R.  C.  Estill  is  the  owner. 


Tiverton  2:04}  is  training  nicely  at  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
and  has  worked  a  mile  close  to  2:15  with  a  quarter  at 
a  two  minute  clip.  He  carries  more  flesh  than  he  did 
last  year  and  trainer  John  Howell  thinks  he  is  sure  to 
reduce  his  record. 

The  following  trainers  are  located  at  the  Detroit 
track:  Jeff  Cunningham,  Jimmie  Burns,  John 
O'Donnell,  Fred  McKey,  Ben  Stanley,  Charles  Haynes 
and  Frank  Cares.  There  are  over  fifty  horses  in 
training  there  and  all  are  showing  well. 


Those  two  sturdy  old  campaigners,  Dariel  2:001  and 
Connor  2:031,  are  in  training  at  Crittenden  Park, 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  in  charge  of  Wm.  Chase.  The  pacing 
queen  recently  stepped  an  eighth  at  the  end  of  a 
workout  mile  in  141  seconds.  Connor  is  being  driven 
slow  miles.    He  looks  good  and  is  as  limber  as  a  colt. 


Alice  C.  2:271,  dam  of  Espy  Boy  2:13  and  Dorcas 
Moore  2:20;  Sabina  by  Espy  Boy  and  Pickwick  by 
Milton  S.  2:081,  three  fine  broodmares,  owned  by 
Crane  &  Powell  of  Urbana,  O  ,  were  killed  by  lightning 
while  running  in  pasture  last  Monday. 


The  Hudson  River  Stock  Farm  is  the  fortunate 
owner  of  the  handsome  mare  Edna  Patch  by  Dan 
Patch  1:56  safely  in  foal  to  Star  Pointer  1:591.  The 
produce  will  be  the  only  foal  in  the  world  with  a  two 
minute  sire  in  both  branches  of  the  family. 


Frank  D.  Weller,  of  Toledo,  O.,  who  at  one  time 
owned  Baronmore  2:141  and  gave  him  his  two-year-old 
record  of  2:351,  has  patented  a  ball-bearing  attachment 
for  hobbles.  Mr.  Weller  has  disposed  of  interests  in 
his  invention  to  parties  at  Detroit  and  elsewhere. 


Among  the  recent  arrivals  at  the  Gentlemen's  Driv- 
ing Park,  Baltimore  is  Eddie  Hayward  of  Chicago, 
with  a  string  of  eight  trotters  and  pacers,  including 
Sue  Dix  2:151,  George  M.  2:171,  Blackbird  2:161  and 
five  green  ones  he  has  been  working  miles  around  2:20 
and  2:21.  

Contralto  2:10  is  still  winning  in  Italy.  At  Ferrara, 
May  17,  she  won  the  Ferrara  Premio,  beating  Mary 
Rachel  2:14}  Kirkwood,  Jr.,  2:10  and  B.  B.  P.  2:09$. 
At  the  same  meeting  B.  B.  P.  won  the  Vandalo  Premio 
beating  Poindexter  2:09,  Mary  Rachel  and  Miss  Fear- 
ing 2:14}.  

Country  Jay  2:101  is  evidently  in  the  business  to 
stay  this  year  as  his  last  workout  was  in  2:13|  and  the 
railbirds  Bay  he  can  trot  in  2:08.  Guss  Macey  surely 
deserves  credit  for  persevering  with  this  fellow  as  a 
half  dozen  leading  veterinarians  gave  him  up  as  a 
hopeless  cripple. 

The  sensationally  fast  pacing  colt  Rey  Del  Valle  by 
Rey  Direct  2:10  that  Dave  McClary  worked  in  2:07 
la9t  year  is  a  three-year-old  and  later  sold  him  to 
David  Lee  of  New  York  is  in  training  this  9pring  at 
Poughkeepsie,  N  Y.,  and  ha9  shown  a  mile  in  2:20  for 
trainer  Geo.  Howell.   

Dick  Wilson  has  fourteen  head  in  training  at 
Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.,  and  several  of  them  are  real 
high  class  ones.  He  is  training  among  others  John 
Taylor  2:081,  Carl  Wilkes  2:04|  and  the  pacing  mare 
Her  Grace  that  worked  a  public  mile  in  2:04}  at  Mem- 
phis last  fall.  All  of  thi9  string  with  the  exception  of 
John  Taylor  belong  to  Geo.  Sherman  and  will  be 
started  on  the  Grand  Circuit  In  August. 


Dave  McDonald  has  a  lot  of  good  horses  in  his 
stables  at  Pittsburg.  Among  hiB  record  horses  are 
Doctor  Strong  2:07},  Glory  2:111,  Sweet  Marie  (p) 
2:111,  Easter  2:131,  McEurie  (p)  2:171,  Joe  N.  2:171, 
Harvey  C.  2:191,  Oakland  Bell  2:231,  Major  Wilton  (p) 
2:241,  2:17}  to  wagon,  and  a  lot  of  fast  ones.  Some  of 
these  horses  will  be  raced  by  him,  both  at  the  half- 
mile  tracks  and  down  the  Grand  Circuit. 


Since  she  joined  Alta  McDonald's  stable  at  Albany, 
Sweet  Marie  2:04$,  has  not  beaten  2:20,  but  she  looks 
fit  to  go  out  and  race  right  now.  Mr.  McDonald  will 
not  hurry,  as  she  will  not  be  started  until  late  in  July 
or  early  in  August.  McDonald  is  working  27  horses, 
and  Lord  Derby,  2:05$,  and  the  yreen  mare,  Ladv 
Babbie,  by  Ansel  Chief,  both  owned  by  E.  E.Smathers 
are  in  the  lot.  

Frank  G.  Jones,  of  Memphis,  will  be  a  prominent 
figure  in  the  harness  horse  world  now  that  he  has 
disposed  of  some  of  his  business  interests  which  took 
up  80  much  of  his  time  He  will  have  quite  a  good 
stable  out  this  year  and  among  the  ones  that  look  to 
have  a  good  chance  to  get  the  money  are  Tom  Ax- 
worthy 2:08|,  Baron  Grattan  2:06},  Choir  Boy  2:17} 
and  the  M.  &  M.  candidate  Clarita  W.  with  a  trial 
of  2:07$.  

The  veteran  trainer  Scott  McCoy  is  located  at 
Louisville,  Ky.,  with  a  good  stable  and  last  week 
worked  the  Allerton  mare  Delight  in  2:161,  while 
Maxine  2:08$  was  allowed  to  step  in  the  same"  notch. 
The  young  stallions  Prince  of  Calcutta  by  Prince  of 
India  2:131,  and  the  three-year-old  by  Directum  2:051 
— Crescent  2:24},  have  returned  from  Gulvallis  Farm 
and  are  again  members  of  McCoy's  stable.  Gazote 
(3)  2:16}  by  Nazote  is  still  at  the  farm,  where  he  is 
being  allowed  a  few  choice  mares. 


A  sixteen-year-old  grandson  of  Rysdyk's  Hamble- 
tonian  won  a  race  over  the  Parkway  track  on  Memo- 
rial Day,  trotting  two  heats  (of  half-mile  each)  in  1:12 
and  1:10}.  The  old  codger  is  Bill  of  Expense  2:20}  by 
Hambletonian's  Last  2:25},  dam  Lady  Voltaire"  by 
Voltaire  2:20},  grandson  of  Pilot  Jr. ;  second  dam  by 
Lexington  Chief  2:37}.  grandson  of  Volunteer.  Bill 
of  Expense  was  gotten  when  his  sire  was  12  years  old. 
Hambletonian's  Last  was  gotten  when  his  sire  (Ham- 
bletonian)  was  26  and  his  dam  (Lady  Russell)  waB 
about  19.  

Before  Millard  Sanders  shipped  his  horses  to  Cleve- 
land from  Memphis  he  worked  some  of  his  youngsters 
in  remarkably  fast  time  for  this  season  of  the  year. 
Flying  Axworthy  (3j  worked  an  easy  heat  in  2:16,  and 
another  three-year-old,  Lady  Worthy,  did  2:19},  last 
quarter  in  0:32$.  Both  of  these  can  do  2:15  now. 
Two  others,  same  age,  worked  quarters  at  a  2:10  gait. 
The  same  day  Millard  started  out  to  work  his  two 
best  two-year-olds,  Nelda  Worthy,  out  of  old  Nell, 
and  Hilda  Worthy,  out  of  Bellwood  A.  2:07},  in  2:25. 
Tom  Axworthy  2:08$  trotted  an  easy  mile  in  2:12}. 


Scott  Hudson  has  at  last  made  good  his  threat  to 
quit  the  trotting  horse  game  as  reports  from  Louis- 
ville state  that  he  has  cast  his  lot  with  the  runners 
and  already  has  a  stable  of  seven  or  eight  thorough- 
breds in  his  charge.  Hudson  was  one  of  the  most 
successful  of  the  younger  generation  of  tra'nera  and 
during  his  short  career  in  the  sulky  has  raced  such 
famous  trotters  and  pacers  as  Audubon  Boy  2:03}, 
Nervolo  2:04},  Twinkle  2:05},  Onward  Silver  2:05}, 
Hawthorne  2:06},  McKinley  2:06},  Rythmic  2:06$, 
Chase  2:07},  Jay  McGregor  2:07}  and  Eagle  Flanagan 
2:07}.  He  is  an  indefatigable  worker  and  a  good 
trainer  and  will  undoubtedly  be  heard  from  in  this 
new  field.  

The  American  Sportsman  of  June  S  says:  Since  the 
arrival  of  the  ex-champion  trotter,  Nancy  Hanks  2:04 
at  Cleveland  from  her  home  in  Maine,  to  be  bred  to 
John  A.  McKerron  2:04}  everybody  wants  to  look  at 
the  ex-queen.  During  the  day  she  has  a  paddock 
alone,  where  she  acts  like  a  colt.  Those  who  expect 
to  see  a  mare  that  has  taken  on  the  form  of  a  brood- 
mare are  disappointed,  for  really  she  looks  more  like 
a  young  mare  than  one  who  was  foaled  in  1886  and 
who  trotted  to  her  mark  at  Terre  Haute,  Ind.,  so  lODg 
ago  as  thirteen  years.  She  is  in  good  flesh  also  en- 
tirely sound,  and  as  spry  as  a  colt.  In  the  adjoining 
paddock  some  colts  were  racing  up  and  down  the 
fence,  and  the  ex-queen  would  join  them  on  her  own 
side,  and  seemed  to  enjoy  the  fun.  She  was  mated 
with  McKerron  as  soon  as  she  arrived  at  the  farm.

A    TBIUUTE     TO     BLACK    BASS. 

Dr.  James  A.  Henshall,  the  well-known  authority 
on  game  fish,  has  this  to  say  of  "the  people's  game 
flsh:" 

These  be  parlous  times  in  angling.  When  William 
King,  in  the  seventeenth  century,  with  as  much 
prophecy  as  humor,  wrote: 

"His  hook  he  baited  with  a  dragon's  tail 
And  sat  upon  a  rook  and  bobbed  for  a  whale," 
he  built  better  than  he  knew.  And  if  Job  had  lived 
in  the  twentieth  century,  the  query:  "Canst  thou 
draw  out  Leviathan  with  an  hook?"  would  be 
answered  in  the  affirmative.  Also,  it  would  be  demon- 
strated that  "He  maketh  the  deep  to  boil  like  a  pot," 
at  Fort  Myers  and  Catalina. 

The  shades  of  Walton  and  CoSton  of  Sir  Humphrey 
Davy  and  "Christopher  North,"  and  of  our  Dr. 
Bethune  and  Thaddeus  Norris,  could  they  "revisit 
the  glimpses  of  the  moon, "  would  view  with  wonder 
and  silent  sorrow  the  tendency  of  many  anglers  of 
the  present  day  toward  strenuosity,  abandoning  the 
verdure-clad  stream,  with  its  warbling  birds  and 
fragrant  blossoms,  for  the  hissing  steam  launch  and 
vile-smelling  motor  boat  in  pursuit  of  leaping  tuna 
and  silver  king.  It  goes  without  saying,  however, 
that,  considered  as  a  sport,  fishing  for  these  jumbos 
is  highly  exciting  and  capable  of  tnfusiDg  unbounded 
enthusiasm,  but  it  can  hardly  be  called  angling. 

Blaak  bass  fishing!  These  are  words  to  conjure 
with.    What  pleasurable  emotions  they  call  up! 

The  black  bass  is  now  an  acknowledged  peer  among 
game  fishes,  and  taking  him  weight  for  weight,  excels 
them  all.  The  generic  term  black  bass,  as  here  used, 
includes  both  the  large-mouth  bass  and  the  small- 
mouth  bass.  The  two  species  are  as  much  alike  as 
two  peas  in  a  pod,  the  most  striking  difference  be- 
tween them  being  that  one  has  a  larger  mouth  and 
larger  scales  than  the  other.  When  subject  to  the 
same  conditions  and  environments,  they  are  equal  in 
game  qualities.  The  habits  of  the  two  species  are 
similar,  though  the  large-mouth  bass  is  more  at  home 
in  ponds  and  weedy  waters  than  the  small-mouth  bass, 
which  prefers  running  streams  and  clear  lakes.  Their 
natural  food  is  crawfish,  for  which  their  wide  mouths 
and  brushlike  teeth  are  well  adapted,  though  they  do 
not  object  to  an  occasional  minnow  or  small  frog. 

Owing  to  the  wide  distribution  of  black  bass,  fishing 
for  it  is  universal.  It  is  no  less  eDjoyed  by  the  rustic 
youth  with  peeled  sapling  rod  and  crawfish  bait  than 
by  the  artistic  angler  with  slender  wand  and  fairy-like 
flies. 

A  century  ago  in  Kentucky  the  multiplying  reel 
was  invented  especially  for  black  bass  angling. 
While  black  bass  fishing  was  known  and  praotieed 
in  the  Ohio  valley  from  the  earliest  years  of  the 
nineteenth  century,  our  angling  books  for  three- 
fourths  of  the  century  contained  but  little,  if  any- 
thing, about  the  black  bass,  as  they  were  mostly  com- 
pilations from  English  authors.  The  only  exceptions 
were  the  books  of  Robert  B.  Roosevelt,  an  uncle  of 
the  president,  who  fished  for  black  bass  in  Canada 
about  1860.  At  the  present  day  there  are  more  articles 
of  fishing  tackle  made  especially  for  black  bass  than 
for  all  other  game  fishes  combined.  This  is  proof 
that  it  is  popular  and,  all  things  considered,  the  best 
game  fish  of  America. 

Salmon  fishing,  the  grandest  sport  in  the  curriculum 
of  angling,  is  now  an  expensive  luxury.  There  is  but 
little  free  water  accessible,  for  all  of  the  best  pools  are 
in  the  possession  of  wealthy  clubs.  The  bold  leap  of 
the  salmon,  when  hooked,  the  exciting  play  of  the  fish 
on  the  rod,  and  the  successful  gaffiing  are  as  so  many 
stanzas  of  an  epic  poem.  Trout  fishing  is  a  summer 
idyl.  The  angler  wades  the  merry  stream  while  the 
leaves  whisper  and  rustle  overhead,  the  birds  chirp 
and  sing,  the  insects  drone  and  hum,  the  cool  breeze 
fans  his  cheek,  as  he  casts  his  feather  lures,  hither 
and  yon,  in  eager  expectation  of  a  rise. 

Black  bass  fishing  combines,  in  a  measure,  the 
heroic  potentialities  of  salmon  fishing  with  the  charms 
of  trout  fishing.  The  leap  of  the  bass  is  no  less  excit- 
iog  than  that  of  the  salmon,  and  is  oftened  repeated, 
while  in  stream  fishing  the  pastoral  features  of  trout 
fishing  are  experienced  and  enjoyed. 

SACRAMENTO    NOTES. 

That  the  possibilities  for  sport  with  rod  and  line  in 
the  vicinity  of  the  Capital  City  is  making  a  strong 
bid  for  the  attention  of  the  Waltonians  Is  shown  by  a 
report  from  that  section  which  states  that  last  Sun- 
day It  looked  as  if  every  able  bodied  man  with  the 
inclination,  the  time  and  the  tackle  was  out  fishing. 
Eor  a  distance  of  five  miles  the  sand  bars  up  and 
down  the  river,  near  Sacramento,  were  lioed  with 
angling  enthusiasts  Intent  upon  taking  from  the  river 
striped  bass,  black  bass,  catfish  and  the  miscellaneous 
assortment  of  fish  that  could  be  tempted  with  spoou, 
fly,  aDgleworm,  grub  or  shrimp  baits. 

It  may  be  safely  estimated  that  there  were  a 
thousand  fishermen  and  numerous  assistants  scattered 
along  the  banks  of  the  river  or  bound  for  one  or  other 
of  the  many  lakes  near  Sacramento.  In  the  early 
morning  the  procession  of  poles  and  rods  looked  like 
a  miniature  forest.  Many  of  The  Eagles  bound  for 
the  Folsom  picDlo  and  the  fishermen  carried  the  same 
brand  of  bait,  and  there  was  some  confusion  until  the 
plcnlo  train  started.  Many  of  the  anglers  started  as 
early  as  3  o'clock  Sunday  morning  in  order  to  take 
udvautageof  the  sunrise  biting  period.  Stories  told 
about  town  when  the  anglers  returned  at  night  were 
calculated  to  stagger  the  intelligence  of  a  conservative 
citizen  who  never  goes  fishing. 


As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  old  Sacramento  River 
has  developed,  this  season,  a  generous  treatment  of 
fishermen  that  is  eliciting  grateful  commentB. 

Anglers  who  have  gone  out  properly  prepared  have 
seldom  returned  empty  handed,  and  the  variety  of 
the  catch  is  likewise  the  subject  of  piscatorial  com- 
ment. Scores  of  salmon  have  been  hooked  with  fly  or 
spoon,  sometimes  to  the  embarrassment  of  those 
anglers  unprepared  with  proper  tackle. 

For  the  first  time  in  the  memory  of  the  oldest  local 
disciple  of  Isaac  Walton,  the  shad  are  rising  to  the 
hook,  and  many  of  them  have  been  added  te  the 
collection  of  black  or  striped  bass  in  the  fisherman's 
creel.  A  white  fly  with  a  red  ibis  tall  has  been  found 
a  killing  lure  for  shad. 

Salmon  fishermen  who  supply  the  market  are  hav- 
ing a  prosperous  season.  The  Chinook  salmon  are 
exclusively  in  evidence  to  date.  The  salmon  are 
larger,  on  the  average,  than  ever  before  known. 
Fishermen  are  using  nets  with  a  nine  and  one-quarter 
inch  mesb,  which  will  allow  a  fifteen-pound  fiBh  to 
escape.  The  industry  is  profitable,  as  evidenced  by 
the  fact  that  local  dealers  are  paying  six  cents  per 
pound  for  all  fish  purchased. 


SAN    JOSE    NOTES. 

The  season  for  trout  fishing  in  the  streams  of  the 
Santa  Clara  Valley  and  contiguous  slopes  is  now  on 
and  local  anglers  are  leaving  the  Garden  City  daily 
for  the  mountain  streams,  where  the  lordly  rainbow, 
peer  of  our  fresh  water  fish,  is  waiting  to  do  battle 
royal  with  the  expert  fly-caster. 

Since  the  first  headlong  rush  of  novice  fishermen  to 
mountain  streams  in  queBt  of  trout  during  the  open- 
ing week  of  the  season,  fishing  has  cooled  down  con- 
siderably until  at  present  it  is  mostly  the  old  and 
experienced  anglers  that  are  going  out  to  seduce  the 
wary  rainbows  and  steelheads  with  the  gay  fly  or 
glittering  spoon  from  their  haunts  in  the  riffles  and 
pools  of  the  Guadalupe,  Llagas,  La  Honda,  Los  Gatos 
and  Santa  Ysabel. 

Nice-sized  beauties  are  being  caught  daily  from  the 
local  streams,  but  a  good  cast  and  a  quiet  angler  are 
necessary  to  obtain  large  creels.  The  Guadalupe, 
which  gained  for  itself  a  bad  reputation  as  a  trout 
stream  during  the  early  part  of  the  open  season,  has 
regained  alarge  partof  its  lost  honor.  A  philanthropic 
spirit  seems  to  have  come  over  the  fish  when  the 
question  of  flies  is  considered,  and  many  good  sized 
ones  have  been  taken  out  during  the  past  and  present 
week.  Contrary  to  gereral  expectations,  the  Los 
Gatos  has  turned  out  to  be  an  honest  brook,  after  all, 
and  has  yielded  up  a  goodly  number  of  trout,  though 
they  do  run  more  to  gluttony  than  to  gameness. 

One  .of  the  finest  limit  creels  of  mountain  trout 
caught  during  two  or  three  weeks  past  was  displayed 
last  Saturday  by  William  Morris,  who,  with  Ed 
Kennedy,  returned  then  from  a  day  or  two  fishing  in 
Cavanaugh.  Kennedy  failed  to  come  up  to  the  limit, 
but  exhibited  35  good-sized  rainbowssays  the  Mercury. 

Ray  Hogg  and  Joe  Maglnni  each  confess  to  having 
caught  50  beauties  in  Smith's  creek  above  Hall's 
valley. 

From  the  sporting  store  of  F.  Schilling  &  Son  comes 
the  news  that  both  the  upper  Ysabel  and  Stevens 
creek,  near  the  headwaters,  are  producing  phenomenal 
numbers  of  trout,  and  each  cast  made  by  either  novice 
or  expert  is  almost  sure  to  be  rewarded  by  a  rainbow 
or  ateelhead  prize. 

C.  Hastings,  of  San  Jose,  and  a  party  of  five  from 
San  Francisco  spent  a  week  on  the  Arroyo  Honda, 
and  altogether  they  secured  something  like  300  trout. 

Among  the  other  recent  returns  quoted  are  Tom 
Bodley,  6  in  the  Los  Gatos;  Eddie  Barnes,  49  in  the 
TJva6;  V.  G.  and  G.  and  H.  Humburg,  good  strings  in 
Stevens  creek. 

Dr.  Miller  and  Professor  Tucker  report  fine  fishing 
on  the  upper  Ysabel;  J.  De  Costa,  14  in  the  Guadalupe; 
L.  Bollinger,  48  in  the  Calaveras. 

But  perh-.tps  the  record  catch  for  large  trout  was 
made  a  little  over  a  week  ago  by  Roy  Bridgeman  and 
L.  H.  Hartmann,  well  known  sportsmen  of  San  Joae. 
From  the  Little  Sur,  in  Monterey  county,  fifteen  large 
fish  were  taken,  averaging  from  15  to  30  inches  in 
length  besides  a  number  of  smaller  t:out. 

Reports  from  Poncelets'  on  the  Llagas  are  that  the 
fishing  tnere  this  season  is  better  than  ever  before. 

The  weather  is  getting  warmer  in  the  mountains 
than  it  has  been  for  some  time,  and  for  this  reason 
the  trout  bite  readily.  They  ri6e  for  the  fly,  but 
many  find  it  better  to  use  a  worm  as  well.  The 
trout  are  of  a  much  larger  size  in  the  LlagaB  now  than 
they  were  at  the  opening  of  the  season.  The  best 
fishing  is  to  be  had  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Mountain 
Home.  Vic  Poncelet,  Jr.,  secured  the  limit  catch  in 
a  short  while  recently. 


RESTOCKING    SANTA    CKOZ     STREAMS. 

Good  news  to  the  many  anglers  who  fish  in  the 
Santa  Cruz  streams  is  the  report  that  the  Santa  Cruz 
county  fish  hatchery,  located  at  Brookdale,  began  the 
distribution  of  800,000  young  trout  on  the  10th  ihst. 
in  the  streams  ef  the  county.  The  sportsmen's  clubs 
at  Santa  Cruz,  Boulder  Creek  and  Soquel  have  under- 
taken to  provide  transportation,  and  will  attend  to 
the  planting  of  the  fry  in  the  most  suitable  places 
where  the  fish  will  thrive.  Among  the  streams  that 
will  be  stocked  areWaddells,  Scotts,  Buteno,  Boulder, 
Bear,  Kings.  Soquel  and  the  San  Lorenzo  river.  Fish 
Culturis't  Shebley,  in  charge  of  the  hatchery,  has 
5,000,000  young  fry  iu  the  hatching  trough  and  ponds, 
which  will  be  distributed  in  all  the  streams  of  Santa 
Cruz  county  within  the  next  four  months. 

FENCED  IN  STREAMS. 

A  question  has  been  decided  by  the  Colorado  Su- 
preme Court  that  may  come  up  in  this  State  and  is  in 
consequence  of  much  intereBt  to  anglers. 

Fishermen  have  no  right  to  break  into  the  lands  of 
owners  who  have  patented  them  under  the  State 
laws,  if  the  lands  be  enclosed  by  a  fence  and  posted  as 
required  by  law,  was  the  decision  recently  of  the  Su-

preme  Court  en  banc,  Justice  Steele  dissenting,  in  the 
case  of  J.  A.  Hartman  against  George  Preise  of  Gun- 
nison county.  The  latter  broke  into  the  lands  of  the 
former,  after  having  previously  been  notified  not  to 
fish  in  the  stream  that  flowed  through  the  land, 
which  was  stocked  with  fish  at  public  expense.  Hart- 
man  brought  suit,  and  the  Gunnison  county  district 
court  dismissed  the  case  on  the  grounds  that  the  citi- 
zens of  the  State  have  the  right  to  fish  in  natural 
streams  against  the  protest  of  the  owners  of  the  land, 
through  which  the  streams  flow. 
This  decision  was  reversed  by  the  Supreme  Court. 

OIL  ON  THE  WATERS. 

The  oil  nuisance  has  assumed  anew  phase.  Hereto" 
fore  the  row  kicked  up  has  been  looked  upon  as  emi* 
nating  entirely  from  disgruntled  salt  water  anglers 
When  the  Fish  Commission's  attention  was  called  to 
the  oil  nuisance  in  the  past,  by  public  spirited  sports- 
men, the  matter  was  usually  taken  under  advisement 
and  that  was  the  last  of  it.  Now  and  then,  it  is  re* 
ported,  word  would  be  given  out  by  the  State  officials 
that  it  was  found  "there  had  been  an  accidental  leak, 
and  as  soon  as  the  break  was  repaired,"  the  particu- 
lar individual  nuisance  and  law  violation  complained 
of  would  be  abated.  Again,  the  Commission  has  been 
credited  with  the  opinion  that  the  "commercial  inter- 
ests involved"  were  of  more  importance  than  the  fish 
supply  in  the  bay  waters  or  the  sport  of  the  anglers. 

Nearly  all  of  the  bay  and  river  steamers  burn  oil 
and  consequently  are  great  factors  in  contaminating 
the  waters  with  the  refuse  aDd  waste  oil.  Minor  com- 
plaints have  been  numerous  but  unavailing  against 
the  stoppage  of  the  law  violation  In  this  respect.  One 
of  the  latest  developments  is  the  closing  down  of  a 
cannery  located  at  Benecia  by  reason  of  the  scarcity 
of  fish,  not  enough  being  obtainable  to  keep  tbe  can- 
ne.'y  working  force  busy. 

Ttie  reasons  alleged  for  the  insufficient  amount  of 
fish  taken,  is  that  the  oil  nuisance  has  depleted  the 
supply. 

Fishermen  of  Vallejo,  San  Pablo  bay  and  the  Sac- 
ramento river,  are  up  in  arms  over  what  is  believed 
to  be  the  unlawful  action  of  the  steamers  in  these 
waters  in  allowing  so  much  oil  to  escape  into  the 
water.  The  matter  is  to  be  called  to  the  attention  of 
the  Fish  Commissioners  at  once,  it  is  stated,  and  if 
relief  cannot  be  obtained  from  this  source  the  courts 
will  be  resorted  to.        

PRIVATE     OWNERSHIP     OF     TROUT. 

The  question  as  to  the  right  of  owners  of  fish  ponds 
or  enclosed  waters,  where  trout  or  other  fish  have 
been  propagated,  to  sell  and  dispose  of  the  same  at 
any  and  all  times,  irrespective  of  fish  laws,  local  or 
state,  is  a  well  settled  one,  contrary  to  the  belief  of 
many  who  "raise"  trout  in  such  manner. 

The  opinion  of  most  fish  culturists  is  that  so  long  as 
they  have  raised  the  fish,  they  may  dispose  of  them 
in  the  same  manner  as  ordinary  truck  garden  pro- 
ducts. In  this  they  are  wrong.  If  such  were  the 
case,  the  openings  for  an  evasion  of  fish  laws  would 
be  obvious.  In  several  of  the  Eastern  states  tbeques- 
tion  has  been  settled  by  legislative  aid. 

On  the  Coast  the  matter  has  come  up  in  different 
localities.  At  the  next  session  of  the  Oregon  Legis- 
lature an  attempt  will  be  made  to  pass  a  law  permit- 
ting the  sale  of  trout  propagated  by  private  means, 
and  in  inclosed  waters.  A  similar  statute  is  in  effect 
in  the  State  of  Washington,  and  has  resulted  in  the 
raising  of  large  numbers'  of  trout  by  companies  or 
farmers  who  own  streams  or  lakes  adapted  to  the 
purpose.  While  many  of  these  trout  growers  have 
developed  fish  of  marketable  size,  few  of  the  trout 
have  been  sold,  as  it  is  figured  that  another  year's 
growth  will  more  than  pay  for  the  care  of  keeping 
them  an  additional  season. 

Sportsmen  generally  favor  the  plan,  as  its  success 
would  tend  to  stop  the  surreptitious  sale  of  wild  trout, 
taken  from  the  public  streams,  to  clubs  and  high- 
toned  restaurants,  which  are  able  to  pay  a  good  price 
for  trout  and  guarantee  protection  to  the  men  who 
supply  them.  Systematic  propagation  would  also 
permit  owners  of  water-courses  to  stock  them  with 
game  fish  at  reasonable  expense,  and  would  increase 
the  supply  all  around. 

Of  the  "trout  farms"  now  in  operation  in  Washing- 
ton state,  perhaps  the  largest  is  that  of  the  Commer- 
cial Trout  Company,  which  has  been  in  business 
several  years,  with  hatcheries  near  Snohomish. 
Hatchery  and  nursery  buildings  have  been  erected 
and  equipment  installed,  cottages  b_iilt  for  keepers, 
and  nearly  2,000,000  trout  hatched,  not  including  this 
year's  spawn.  Some  of  these  trout  are  now  over  two 
years  old  and  of  marketable  size,  but  the  company 
will  not  place  any  of  its  product  on  the  market  for 
another  year. 

About  a  year  ago  the  company,  finding  its  facilities 
inadequate  for  the  maintenance  of  stock  on  hand,  and 
to  provide  trout  for  future  years,  increased  its 
capital  from  $50,000  to  $75,000.  Since  that  time  a  dam 
has  been  built  across  the  Sultan  river,  diverting  a 
portion  of  the  flow  to  the  trout  farm.  The  flume  is 
3500  feet  long,  four  feet  wide  and  three  feet  deep,  and 
is  built  on  such  a  grade  as  to  divert  32,000  gallons  of 
water  a  minute.  An  artificial  lake  for  raising  wild 
trout  for  breeding  purposes  will,  when  completed, 
cover  thirty-three  acres  and  have  a  maximum  depth 
of  twenty  feet  The  depth  is  graduated  so  that  the 
trout  can  chose  their  own  places  for  exercise  or  rest. 
Thirty  new  rearing  ponds  have  been  completed,  and 
ground  cleared  for  100  additional  ponds,  which  will  be 
installed  as  rapidly  as  possible. 

The  company  began  taking  eggs  last  December,  and 
has  completed  the  work  of  hatching  now.  About 
1,250,000  eggs  were  imported  from  the  Ea<-t,  and  all 
arrived  in  good  condition.  About  2,500,000  of  this 
year's  fry  are  being  fed  now. 


fronts  on  the  McCloud  river  for  some  ten  or  twelve 
miles.  The  new  club  house  was  burned  to  the  ground 
Saturday  night,  June  3d,  together  with  all  of  the  out- 
buildings. The  loss  is  total.  The  club  house  was  one 
of  the  finest  in  the  State  and  was  built  last  summer  at 
a  coat  of  something  like  $150,000. 


FLIES     AND     LEADERS. 

There  is  quite  a  run  of  salmon  on  at  present  in 
Monterey  bay,  the  fishing  so  far  this  season  having 
been  productive  of  great  results.  The  "Chinooks" 
seem  to  be  particularly  numerous,  with  but  only  a 
sprinkling  of  "Silversides."  A  total  five  days'  catch 
by  the  boats  recently  numbered  over  2000. 

Aside  from  those  consumed  bv  the  numerous  sports- 
men staying  at  Monterey  and  not  accounting  for  the 
fish  that  have  been  shipped  by  private  parties  to  their 
friends,  sufficient  Chinooks  were  captured  to  supply 
the  cannery  with  2181. 

The  fish  are  unusually  large.  The  average  weight 
is  16  pounds.  Last  year  the  uniform  size  weighed  no 
more  than  10  pounds. 

ComiDg  days  promises  to  bring  even  more  surprising 
results.  There  has  been  a  great  number  of  San  Fran- 
cisco fishermen  daily  on  the  waters  enjoying  the  sport 
to  the  full.  Among  them  were:  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frank 
H.  Burke,  S.  and  M.  C.  Tevis  who  were  successful  in 
landing  a  number  of  large  sized  fisb. 

Reports  from  Russian  river  are  that  the  black  bass 
fishing  in  the  vicinity  of  Guerneville  or  Duncans  is 
worthy  the  attention  of  anglers. 

AH  the  hackles  are  the  killing  lures  at  present  on 
the  Truckee,  the  McCloud  and  upper  Sacramento. 

Webber  lake  trout  fishing  is  just  coming  in,  the  lure 
is  all  small  English  flies  on  No.  14  hooks — browning 
yellow,  dark  spinner,  whirling  dun  and  furnace 
palmer  are  good  patterns 

Lemoin,  Castella  and  Sims  are  ripe  for  the  fly- 
fisher's  presence— hackles  on  12's  at  midday  or  10's. 
in  the  evening  are  suggested  to  intending  angling 
pilgrims. 

Reports  from  Klamath  Hot  Springs,  Big  Meadows 
and  Boca  are  encouraging 

The  Purissima  is  still  inviting,  but  for  small  fish. 
Waddells,  Scott  and  Big  creeks  have  been  declaring 
most  satisfactory  trout  dividends. 

Lake  Lagunitas  fishing  has  been  better  this  year 
than  for  several  seasons  past,  the  fish  caught  are  game 
and  of  good  size. 


ever,  that  the  possession  here  referred  to  i9  a  deliber- 
ate infraction  or  the  statute,  it  is  on  the  contrary,  in 
nearly  every  case,  commendable  and  was  prompted, 
no  doubt,  by  a  feeling  of  pity  for  a  stricken  wild 
creature.  In  such  cases  the  proper  method  of  pro- 
cedure is  to  secure  a  permit  from  the  Board  of  Fish 
Commissioners  for  the  retention  of  the  wild  bird  or 
birds,  such  permission  is  not  hard  to  get  and  is  the 
correct  method  of  compliance  with  the  law.  The  wild 
game  found  in  this  state,  is  for  the  time  being,  the 
property  of  the  commonwealth,  its  taking,  possession 
or  molestation  in  every  respect  and  kind  being  con- 
trolled by  the  statute  laws  now  in  force. 

The  communication  referred  to  requests  our  views 
on  the  argument  between  A.  and  B.  A  has  a  wild 
mallard  drake  and  two  wild  mallard  ducks — that  were 
winged  and  captured.  The  birds  received  good  care 
and  recovered.  In  due  course  the  ducks  layed  eggs 
which  finally  hatched  out  a  brood  of  13  ducklings,  that 
at  the  present  time  are  "flappers."  A.  desired  to  sell 
the  young  ducks  to  B.  "for  a  duck  stew."  B.  refused 
to  buy,  claiming  that  "he  would  be  liable  to  arrest  for 
having  wild  ducks  in  his  possession  out  of  season." 
A.  insists  the  birds  "are  not  wild  ducks."  "Who  is 
right?" 

B.  is,  as  we  said  above,  correct  in  his  view  of  the  law 
and  facts. 

We  will  refer  the  disputants  to  an  analogous  caBe  in 
the  "Angling  Notes,"  which  relates  to  the  private 
ownership  and  sale,  in  and  outof  close  season  of  trout. 
The  principle  admitted  there  is  that  of  state  owner- 
ship and  control  of  possession. 

In  other  words,  A  's  stand  is  "in  contravention  of 
thespiritofthelaw,"  and  this  is  far  to  grave  a  matter 
to  be  buried  in  a  duck  stew.  If  A.  is  inclined  to  be 
skeptical,  he  should  consult  Charley  Vogelsang  who, 
we  are  sure,  will  put  him  right  in  the  matter. 


GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


DUCK  SHOOTING  GROUNDS  SOLD. 

The  Sacramento  Bee  this  week  relates  the  story  of 
the  transfer  of  an  immense  tract  of  Suisun  marsh 
land  most  of  it  well  known  to  the  sportsmen  of  this 
State  as  famous  duck  and  snipe  shooting  territory. 
Land  in  any  of  the  bay  county  marshes,  has  in  most 
localities,  enhanced  greatly  in  value  during  the  last 
decade.  Some  of  the  foresighted  sportsmen  reading 
the  signs  of  the  times,  years  ago  bought  duck  shoot- 
ing grounds,  that  can  now  be  sold  for  many  times  the 
original  price. 

The  transaction  referred  to  above  and  which  will 
make  future  duck  shooting  history  is  as  follows: 

The  most  important  real  estate  transaction  that  has 
been  made  in  Solano  county  in  many  years,  and  cer- 
tainly the  largest  deal  in  marsh  land  knoffn  in  Cali- 
fornia in  many  a  day.  has  just  been  closed  by  Edward 
Dinkelspiel,  editor  of  the  Solano  Republican,  and  a 
well-known  real  estate  man,  representing  a  syndicate 
of  Influential  men.  The  purchasers  include  E.  Dinkel- 
spiel of  Suisun  and  Frank  Maskeyand  Joseph  Harvey 
of  San  Francisco. 

The'  tract  of  marsh  land  purchased  consists  of  about 
5000  acres  and  the  price  paid  is  reported  to  have  been 
in  the  neighborhood  of  $120,000.  The  purchase  com- 
prises the  famous  Chamberlain  tract  recognized  as 
the  finest  duck  shooting  land  in  the  State. 

For  some  time  the  reclamation  of  marsh  lands  in 
Solano  county  has  attracted  considerable  attention 
and  the  successful  experiments  made  on  a  small  scale 
will  unquestionably  form  the  precursor  to  an  exten- 
tensive  scheme  of  reclamation.  The  acquisition, 
therefore,  of  the  Chamberlain  tract  will  mean  much 
for  Solano  county  in  general  and  Suisun  and  vicinity 
in  particular.  For  many  years  a  portion  of  the  land 
west  of  the  railroad  track  has  been  occupied  by 
wealthy  sportsmen  of  San  Francisco.  The  land  on 
the  other  6ide  of  the  railroad  track  and  running  for 
several  miles  along  the  Suisun  Slough  is  unexcelled 
marsh  land  and  has  been  pronounced  by  experienced 
men  to  be  capable  of  producing  crops  of  various  kindf, 
if  reclaimed  and  put  under  cultivation.  It  is,  without 
doubt,  the  finest  asparagus  land  and  if  devoted  to 
this  industry  will  yield  the  owners  large  returns. 
This  is  proven  by  an  experiment  on  the  Emmington 
farm  on  the  east  side  of  Suisun  bay,  which  yielded 
the  owner  in  the  neighborhood  of  $150  per  acre,  clear 
of  expense. 

As  before  said,  the  purchase  includes  the  Chamber- 
lain tract  on  which  is  located  the  well-known  Teal, 
Cordelia  and  Ibis  Clubs.  These  clubs  will  remain  as 
lessees  until  the  expiration  of  their  terms,  when  the 
new  owners  will  make  changes  which  will  be  decided 
upon  later. 

The  preserve  of  Herman  Oelrichs,  Esq.,  and  the 
Family  Duck  Club  (formerly  the  Canvasback  Club) 
groundB  are  nearby  also.

A    DUCK     STEW. 

In  answer  to  a  correspondent  relative  to  a  question 
over  the  ownership  of  wild  ducks  in  captivity,  we  will 
state  that  we  believe  B  is  decidedly  right  in  his 
argument.  The  birds  are  wild  ones  in  the  eye  of  the 
law. 

There  are,  we  believe,  numerous  wild  ducks  in  the 
possession  of  various  individuals  throughout  the  State, 
most  of  them  being  cripples  left  over  from  last  season. 
The  possession  of  wild  ducks  (or  any  other  protected 
wild  game  bird),  dead  or  alive,  during  the  close  season 
is  a  violation  of  the  law.    We  do  not  intimate,  how- 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  California  Wing  Club  live  bird  shoot  for  June 
at  Ingleside  las-  Sunday  brought  out  thirteen  guns  in 
the  club  match  at  twel-vepigeons.  Notwithstanding 
cold,  foggy  weather  conditions  the  average  of  scores 
was  a  fraction  over  90%,  but  sixteen  birds  getting 
away,  of  these  six  dropped  over  the  boundary  and 
did  not  score.  Ten  birds  only  lost  out  of  156  is  not  a 
bad  showine  by  any  means.  Will  Golcher  was  in  fine 
form  and  did  not  lose  a  bird  during  the  day.  Walsh, 
Nauman  and  Klevesahl  each  lost  one  bird  out  of 
24.     The  scores  made  follow.

A  report  from  Portland,  Or.  states  that  a  larger 
number  of  shooters  were  gathered  at  the  Irvington 
grounds  of  the  Multnomah  Rod  and  Gun  Club  on  the 
11th  inst  than  at  any  time  since  the  season  opened.  It 
is  evidence  that  interest  in  the  NorthweBt  shoot  next 
week  is  on  the  increase. 

Jack  Cullison  was  high  gun,  breaking  92  out  of  100 
birds.  Ellis  and  Abraham  are  Bhooting  well,  as  is  the 
case  with  a  number  of  other  shotgun  men.  Grounds 
are  now  open  every  day  for  practice  for  the  coming 
shoot,  the  club  having  two  men  in  charge  of  the  grounds 
and  traps.    The  scores  made  were  as  follows:

The  regular  monthly  club  shoot  ot  the  Empire  Gun 
Club  was  held  at  the  club's  trap  shooting  grounos  at 
A lam™  Point  on  the  11th  inst.  The  shoot  brought 
out  a  good  attendance  ol  members  and  with  the  ex- 
ception of  a  slight  breeze  the  day  was  a  perfect  one  in 
sofar  as  flying  target  shooting  was  concerned  and 
some  very  good  scores  were  made.  For  the  club  s 
championship  race  W.  A  Sears  was  high  for  the  day 
JfthZib, oaks, .closely  followed  by  Fred  Feudner,  who 
scored  21  eut  of  the  possible  25  shot  at.  In  the  money 
match  Sears  was  also  high  gun  with  a  score  of  22  from 
the  20  yard  mark,  Feudner  winning  seoond  money. 
The  spciaT  handicap  race  at  15  targets  shows  C ullen  s 
score  of  12  as  best  in  that  event  for  the  day.  The

The  medal  a  the  July  meet  will  conclude  the  seria 
cont°tand  It  is  ver/ unlikely  that  Feudner's  score  of 
lundav  will  be  beaten  at  that  meet.  The  next  highest 
score  for  the  medal,  to  date,  is  one  of  1«  made  by  A

PETERS    POINTS. 

Peters'  shells  are  surely  making  a  wonderful  record 
this  year.  The  high  scores,  averages  and  prizes  won 
with  them  are  reported  so  fast  that  it  is  not  possible 
to  publish  more  than  a  part  of  them,  but  the  testi- 
mony from  all  sections  of  the  country  is  very  much 
alike,  and  the  following  may  be  taken  as  a  sample.

AS  USUAL,  WINCHESTER  WINS. 

The  annual  inanimate  target  tournament  of  the 
Gridley  Gun  Club,  which  was  held  at  Gridley,  Cal., 
on  the  10th  and  11th  inst.,  proved  to  be  a  most  en- 
joyable affair.  Winchester  products,  as  usual,  carried 
off  the  honors  of  the  shoot.  Out  of  the  twenty-three 
shooters  that  participated  in  this  tournament,  fifteen 
shot  the  Winchester  make  of  shells,  and  nine  used 
Winchester  "pump"  gunB.  The  Laffln  &  Rand  "In- 
fallible" Championship  Cup  was  won  by  J.  W. 
Humble,  of  Gridley,  with  a  Smith  gun  and  Win- 
chester "Leader"  shells.  The  three  man  team  trophy

Messrs.  Giblin,  White  and  Hare.  Every  one  of  these

"Leader"  shells,  and  in  connection  two  used  the  Win- 
chester "pump"  guns.  The  Kimball-Upson  Co.'s

ville,  of  Colusa,  on  the  splendid  score  of  twenty 
straight,  with  a  Winchester  "pump"  gun  and  Win-

THE   FARM. 


Prize  Butter. 


The  prize  butter  at  the  recent  Iowa 
■State  Dairymen's  convention  scored  97>£ 
and  won  over  187  competitors.  The 
maker  gives  the  following  method  of 
manufacture  in  the  Chicago  Daily  Pro- 
duce : 

"It  was  made  from  one  day's  milk, 
at  a  temperature  of  85  degrees.  I  skim- 
med a  50  per  cent  cream  and  I  diluted  to 
30  per  cent  with  a  good  starter  prepared 
from  Ericsson's  culture;  ripened  it  at  68 
degrees  to  an  acidity  of  33  c.  c.  (Manns); 
churned  it  next  morning  at  a  tempera- 
ture of  54  degrees.  The  acidity  of  cream 
when  ohurned  was  35  c.  c.  and  the  acidity 
of  the  starter  when  used  28  c.  c.  It  was 
salted  one  ounce  to  a  pound  of  moist 
butter  and  worked  at  intervals  for  one- 
half  hour,  when  it  was  packed  and  kept 
in  the  refrigerator  one  week  before  it 
was  sent  to  the  convention.  This  butter 
had  a  very  mild  flavor  when  it  was  freBh, 
but  the  flavor  developed  as  it  Btood  and 
was  at  its  best  at  the  time  when  it  was 
scored." 

Note  that  there  waB  no  guess  work 
about  the  ripening  process.  The  degree 
of  sourness  of  the  cream  was  determined 
with  exactness  and  was  controlled  by  the 
temperature  and  a  prepared  starter  which 
in  turn  had  been  made  from  a  com- 
mercial culture.  The  modern  butter- 
maker  does  not  make  butter  by  guess 
work,  but  he  has  got  his  business  re- 
duced to  a  science.

Wounds  on  Horses. 

Every  wound  or  sore  on  the  horse 
should  be  washed  daily  with  an  antiseptic 
solution.  If  this  is  done  the  wound  will 
heal  quicker  than  if  left  alone  and  there 
will  be  no  danger  of  the  sore  getting 
worse  and  finally  causing  the  death  of 
the  animal.  The  best  antiseptic  solutions 
are  made  from  the  coal  tar  preparations — 
carbolic  acid,  etc.  These  may  be  mixed 
with  water  in  the  proportion  of  one  to 
eight.  If  these  are  not  handy,  borax 
used  in  the  water  or  sprinkled  on  the 
wound  immediately  after  washing  it  is  a 
good  antiseptic. —  West  Virginia  Experi- 
ment Station  Bulletin. 


Every  rancher  has  some  cowb  which 
with  care  and  feed  of  the  right  kind 
might  become  profitable  milkers.  Select 
the  beat  of  them,  pasture  them  by  them- 
selves and  breed  them  to  a  good  dairy 
bull.  The  heifers  from  the  first  crop  as  a 
rule  will  be  a  great  improvement  over 
their  mothers.  Breed  these  and  soon  a 
good  dairy  herd  can  be  established.

The  Good  Draft  Horse. 


U  a  horse  is  e'lorl  ribbed  he  if  light  i 
hie  middle  and  is  nearl;  '  P00r 

feede.  "'g1'  ,0 

contain  sufficient  food  I  fr0U1 

one  meal  to  an  en   put   into 

hard  work  he  ger  <«l.'6ed  °"1 

appea.  •;!  uorae  sel- 

dom weighs  well,  and  weight  in  a  draft 
horse,  if  it  comes  from  bone,  sinew  and 
moscle,  goes  a  long  way  to  determine  his 
commercial  value. 

When  a  horse  ie  well  coupled  together 
on  top  and  has  a  short  back  be  must  have 
the  length  below  from  the  point  of  the 
shoulder  to  the  back  of  the  thigh.  W  ben 
so  built  he  will  stand  the  strain  of  draw- 
oads  much  better  than  if  he 
has  a  long,  loose  back. 

The  front  feet  and  hocks  are  the  parts 
of  either  a  draft  or  a  driving  horse  that 
come  directly  in  contact  with  the  hard 
work,  and  unless  they  are  sound  and 
good  a  horse's  usefulness  will  be  very 
much  impaired  and  his  commercial  value 
very  much  lessened.  The  feet  should  be 
large  and  waxy  in  appearance.  The  sole 
of  the  hoof  should  be  concave,  the  frog 
spongy,  plump  and  elastic,  because  it  acts 
as  a  buffer  to  take  the  concussion  from 
acting  too  severely  on  the  foot,  pastern 
and  fetlock.  See  that  both  sire  and  dam 
have  sound  feet,  free  from  flatness,  brittle- 
Dess,  and  are  not  contracted.  There 
should  be  no  "gumminess"  about  the 
hocks  of  the  draft  horse,  as  it  indicates 
coarseness.  They  Bhould  be  large,  flat 
and  firm  and  should  be  wide,  especially 
from  a  side  view. 

A  Btallion  whose  feet  are  contracted 
and  brittle  and  whose  bocks  are  puffy 
and  fleBhy  looking  should  be  avoided  as 
Buch  hocks  are  generally  associated  with 
a  coarsness  throughout  his  wbole  confor- 
mation and  a  general  lack  of  quality. 
Before  using  a  stallion  get  the  groom  to 
lead  him  away  from  you.  Stand  square 
behind  him  and  see  that  he  picKs  up  his 
feet  and  places  them  on  the  ground 
properly,  travelling  in  both  trot  and 
walk  clear  and  clean,  not  Btriking  the 
ground  first  with  the  toe  and  then  bring- 
ing down  the  heel.  If  he  does  so  he  will 
be  stilted  in  bis  movements  and  a  stum- 
bler.  When  he  trots  see  that  he  points 
his  hocks  a  tiifle  in.— Ontario  Institute

A  Chicken  Mite  Remedy. 

Mrs.  Ida  K.  Tilson,  instructor  in 
poultry  (arming  at  the  Missouri  Agricul- 
tural College,  and  owner  of  a  large 
poultry  farm  in  Wisconsin,  gives  this 
remedy  for  chicken  mites: 

1 .  Let  the'ehicken  house  be  thoroughly 
sprayed  three  times  a  week  with  a  solu- 
tion of  one  teaspoonful  of  carbolic  acid  to 
the  '[Uart  of  water.  A  hand  force  pump 
may  be  rated  for  the  purpose. 

L'.  Let  every  bowl  by  means  of  a  small 
bellows  be  dusted  with  pyrethum. 

'■',.     Let  the  interior  of  the  house  as  soon 

as  it  is  dry  be  painted   with   carbolineum 

avenarius.    This    ie    the   process    to   go 

through  when  the  miteB  are  once  started. 

It  is  sure  death   to   them.    When  once 

removed  tbey  can  be  kept  out  by  having 

iouee  thoroughly   clean   and   placing 

iinnel,  persimmon  leaves, 

or,  best  of  all,  tansy  upon  the  floor  and  in 

the  nest*,   always  using  a   fresh   cupply 

daily.

Terms  for  the  Season $25 

HIGHLAND  is  a  grand  looking  young  stallion,  sis  years  old.  His  breeding  is 
most  fashionable  and  his  immediate  ancestors  are  producers  of  race  winners  with 
fast  records.  He  is  beautifully  galted  and  has  a  perfect  disposition.  Does  not 
pull  or  want  to  break  at  speed,  and  oan  be  placed  at  will  in  a  bunch  of  horses.  He 
Is  a  high-olaas  horse  and  has  better  than  2: 10  speed.  As  he  is  to  be  bred  to  his 
owner's  mares  this  year  and  specially  prepared  for  a  low  record  this  fall,  his  owner

Dear  Sir:— I  have  a  standard  bred  "Cupid1' 
mare  raised  by  Adolph  Spreckels,  the  well-known 
Californian  and  horse  breeder,  and  after  driving 
her  a  few  months  a  bad  spavin  showed  itself.  It 
was  fixed  and  blistered  by  a  veterinary  and  the 
animal  turned  out  for  three  months.  The  spavin 
was  obstinate  and  the  mare  continued  lame.  I 
used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the-Horse"  and  a  com- 
plete oure  was  the  result. 

Yours,  Geo.  A.  Knight.

In  regard  to  "Save  the-Horse,"  I  used  it  with  much  success.  The  running 
horse  Col  Roosevelt,  that  had  broken  down  in  training  for  two  or  three  years 
past,  la  now  in  good  shape  and  will  certainly  be  able  to  race  as  well  as  ever 
before.  Have  also  used  "Save-the-Horse  '  on  the  horse  Greyfeld  with  satisfac- 
tory results.  Will  also  add  that  I  have  seen  "Save-the-Horse"  remove  a  deep- 
seated  ringbone  from  a  Director  trotting  hirse  in  Monroe  Salisbury's  stable. 

I  am  pleased  to  be  able  to  recommend  "Save-the-Horse"  from  actual 
experience.    Yours  truly,  GEO.  A.  DAVIS.

I  have  driven  him  twenty-five  miles  In  one  day  and  would  not  now  take  $250  for  the  animal.

PHOTOGRAPH  of  DAN   PATCH  1:56  iHWof^!!  WONDERFUL  MILES 


This  Engraving  was  made  from  a  Photograph  taken  of  Dan  Patch  in  one  of  his  Marvelous  Speed  Exhibitions.^  It  shows  Dan  Flying  Through  The  Air  with  even'  foot  off  of  the  ground,  and 
is  as  natural  and  life-like  as  if  you  saw  him  in  one  of  his  sensational  miles.  You  will  notice  that  Dan  Patch  is  pacing  in  his  smooth  and  majestic  manner,  while  the  three  runners  are  urged 
on  by  voice  and  whip  in  their  tremendous  efforts  necessary  to  keep  up  with  Dan  in  his  record-breaking  miles.  This  picture  shows  exactly  the  way  Dan  makes  his  exhibition  miles.  The 
runners  are  used  to  stimulate  Dan  to  greater  efforts,  because  he  goes  faster  when  he  has  a  horse  to  beat.  Dan  wants  and  enjos's  a  close  and  exciting  race,  and  he  will  not  pace  his  fastest  clip 
unless  he  is  in  company.    No  trotter  or  pacer  can  go  fast  enough  so  we  use  high  bred  running  horses.      ■SSF'Watch  For  Dan's  Exhibition  Dates  This  Fall.      He  Is  Faster  Than  Ever, 

DO  YOU  WANT  MORE  SPEED?

EVERYTHING  POINTS  to  a  great  meeting  at 
Los  Angeles  when  the  Harness  Horse  Association 
openB  the  gates  of  Agricultural  Park  in  that  city  on 
Monday,  July  3d.  The  horses  congregated  there  are 
the  best  in  the  State,  and  there  will  be  some  very  fast 
miles  in  both  the  trotting  and  the  pacing  events.  In 
the  latter  especially  will  records  be  reduced.  No  one 
need  be  surprised  if  in  some  of  the  pacing  events  three 
heats  below  2:10  are  required  to  win.  The  Los  Ange- 
les people  are  very  much  enthused  over  the  outlook 
for  the  meeting  and  gate  receipts  will  be  large.  The 
public  has  confidence  in  any  sport  or  business  in  which 
the  promoters  are  willing  to  put  up  their  own  money, 
and  when  the  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association 
showed  its  faith  in  itB  venture  by  puttingup  $15,000 
In  cash  to  insure  the  payment  of  the  purses  and  the 
financial  success  of  its  meeting,  the  horsemen  re- 
sponded liberally  with  entries,  and  the  public  are 
anxiously  waiting  for  the  gates  to  open  and  the  rac- 
ing to  begin.  The  Los  Angeles  Association  deserves 
success  and  will  achieve  it. 


HORSE  INSURANCE  is  getting  to  be  very  popular 
in  the  Eastern  States,  and  companies  which  han- 
dle this  line  are  doing  a  thriving  business.  The  poli- 
cies issued  are  usually  against  death  from  accident, 
and  consequently  the  premiums  are  not  large.  John 
Madden,  the  well-known  breeder  of  thoroughbreds, 
insured  sixty  head  of  yearlings  recently  against  acci- 
dents for  one  year.  The  policies  total  875,000  and  the 
entire  premium  money  was  but  £300.  The  liability 
covers  accidents  and  injuries  of  all  sorts,  from  a  kick 
to  a  railroad  smash-up.  On  this  Coast  there  are  no 
companies  making  a  business  of  accident  insurance 
for  horses,  but  there  is  quite  a  demand  for  something 
of  the  sort.  


Answers  to  Correspondents. 

W.  J.  M.  Stockton,  Cal. — The  chestnut  stallion 
Royal  Prince  2:19}  was  foaled  1888,  by  Dexter  Prince 
11363;  dam  Ida  W.  by  Abbottsford  707;  grandam 
Winthrop  Girl  by  Winthrop  505.  He  was  bred  by  L. 
M.  Moise,  Lodi,  Cal.  and  trotted  to  his  record  at 
Decatur,  111.,  Aug.  23,  1894.  Winthrop  Girl  is  not 
registered  and  we  are  unable  to  further  trace  her 
pedigree. 

Chris  Anderson,  Areata.— Reavis'  Blackbird  402 
was  by  Blackbird  401,  dam  Jane  8mith  by  Capt. 
Lightfoot,  son  of  Victor  by  Abdallah  1,  second  dam 
by  a  horse  called  Kentucky  Eclipse.  Werner's 
Rattler  262  was  by  Biggart's  Rattler,  a  son  of  Sir 
Henry,  dam  by  Mars,  grandam  by  Defiance.  Algerine 
was  a  son  of  Hambletonian  725.  We  cannot  place 
Montezuma.  There  were  several  stallions,  both 
thoroughbreds  and  trotters  by  that  name. 


Harness  Racing  July  4th  at  Ingleside. 

The  San  Francisoo  Driving  Club  will  hold  racing  at 
Ingleside  on  the  4th  of  July.  The  entries  to  the  four 
events  that  have  thus  far  closed  are  as  follows: 

First  race — W.  Clough's  Nora  Hagerty,  M.  Don- 
nelly's Peggie,  F.  P,  LauterwasBer's  White  Cloud> 
H.   Simi's  Lady   Diana,   M,    Leather's    Butcher,   J. 


W.  W.  Price,  Butte  City— Kentucky  Baron  32047 
waB  bred  by  Mr.  J.  H.  Onthwaite,  of  Savannah,  Cali- 
fornia, who  sent  his  dam  Kate  Carey  by  Kentucky 
Prince  to  be  mated  with  Baron  Wilkes.  He  got  his 
record  of  2:27J  at  Colusa,  Cal.,  July  26, 1900,  in  a  race 
of  four  heats,  which  he  won.  His  record  was  made 
in  the  last  heat,  which  was  the  fastest  of  the  race. 


Big  Money  Talks  Interestingly. 

The  trotting  editor  of  New  York  Mominq  Telegraph 
last  week  forwarded  to  DaveG.  McDonald,  Pittsburg, 
a  letter  for  Jas.  M.  Gatcomb,  owner  of  Audubon  Boy 
2:03},  in  which  he  says  he  is  willing  to  let  the  Pittsburg 
mare  Bell  Mac  2:04J,  join  the  match  between  Audubon 
Boy  and  Ecstatic  and  make  it  a  three-cornered  affair 
for  $5000  a  corner,  winner  to  take  all  and  to  be  paced 
at  R9adville  Grand  Circuit  meeting,  and  asking  Mr. 
McDonald  if  Mr.  W.  R.  Porter's  challenge  was  real. 
When  shown  the  letters  Mr.  Porter  authorized  Mr, 
McDonald  to  make  the  match  for  him  and  he  has 
written  the  Eastern  owners,  in  which  he  says,  on 
receipt  of  a  reply  from  them,  he  will  post  one  or  two 
thousand  dollars  at  once,  balance  to  be  paid  in  to  any- 
one agreeable  to  all  parties  the  night  before  the  race, 
and  to  make  it  play  or  pay  and  not  to  be  declared  off 
for  any  reason  unless  forfeit  money  isl&ven  horse 
ready  to  start,  and  he  also  says  he  would  like  to  make 
a  four  cornered  match  on  behalf  of  the  Pittsburg 
mare,  between  the  three  named  and  Hazel  Patch  and 
make  it  a  four-cornered  affair,  and  also  add  Dan  R. 
2:0H,  if  agreeable  to  all,  for  $5000  a  corner  and  to  be 
raced  over  any  big  track  that  will  offer  the  most  for 
the  race.  Mr.  McDonald  also  says  the  Pittsburgers 
mean  business  and  will  put  up  the  gold  as  soon  as  he 
hears  from  the  other  parties.  The  outcome  of  the 
talk  will  be  watched  with  interest  by  followers  of  the 
light  harness  horse  all  over  the  country.  Bell  Mac  is 
in  training  at  Columbus,  O.,  and  has  been  in  2:20  this 
spring. — American  Sportsman. 


THE  GRAND  CIRCUIT  will  open  on  July  24th  at 
Detroit,  where  is  always  one  of  the  most  success- 
ful meetings  held  during  the  year.  Following  Detroit 
comes  Cleveland,  with  $27,000  hung  up  for  racing  at 
the  historic  Glenville  track.  Buffalo  comes  next,  and 
so  as  not  to  be  outdone  by  any  other  meeting,  offers 
the  magnificent  sum  of  $37,000  in  purses.  The  week 
following  Buffalo  was  refused  by  the  Empire  track 
people,  and  Poughkeepsie  will  step  into  the  breach. 
The  order  of  towns  is  then  as  follows:  Readville,  Aug. 
21-25;  Providence,  Aug.  28  to  Sept.  1;  Hartford,  Sept. 
4-8;  Syracuse,  Sept.  11-15;  Columbus,  Sept.  18-22; 
Cincinnati,  Sept.  25-29,  and  Memphis,  Oct.  16-26. 


No  Intention  to  Deceive. 


[Trotter  and  Pacer] 
The  question  of  obtaining  judges  who  will  enforce 
the  rules  without  fear  or  favor  ib  Baid  to  be  agitating 
the  minds  of  the  race  committee  of  a  certain  promi- 
nent amateur  driving  club  near  this  city.  This  sug- 
gests another  question  —  why,  in  an  organization 
whose  existence  is  maintained  for  the  purpose  of  rac- 
ing for  pure  love  of  the  sport,  and  in  which  no  sordid 
or  mercenary  consideration  of  mere  money-getting 
are  supposed  to  enter,  is  it  necessary  to  have  judges 
or  especial  vigilance  and  fearlessness  in  order  to  en- 
sure obedience  to  the  rules?  It  is  a  conclusion  sup- 
ported by  abundance  of  testimony  that  some  profes- 
sional trotting  horse  driverB  muBt  be  watched,  and 
that  the  presence  of  argus-eyed  and  intrepid  judges 
are  necessary  to  keep  them  from  resorting  to  practices 
which  are  not  sanctioned  by  the  rules.  There  is 
of  course  no  justification  for  such  conduct,  but  it  is 
not  without  a  slight  degree  of  extenuation  in  the  fact 
that  the  professional  driver  who  reBorts  to  crooked 
practices  does  so  with  the  hope  of  material  gain  to  his 
purse  and  the  consequent  improvement  in  his  condi- 
tion. This  plea  is  not  available  for  the  amateur  driver 
who  has  recourse  to  cheating  to  win  his  engagements. 
He  races  for  pleasure  solely,  and  his  material  interests 
are  not  a  whit  affected  by  the  result,  whether  he  winB 
or  loses.  Under  these  circumstances  it  might  be  sup- 
posed that  the  only  necessity  for  judges  at  all,  in  a 
gentlemen's  race,  would  be  to  see  that  the  horses  are 
sent  away  011  a  proper  alignment,  and  to  decide  the 
winner  in  a  close  contest  That  there  should  be  need 
of  judges  with  especial  qualifications  to  see  that  the 
rules  are  observed  and  that  fair  racing  is  assured,  is  a 
confession  that  would  not  Beem  to  afford  much  room 
for  complacency  to  gentlemen  who  entertain  notions 
of  sentiment  and  ideas  of  honor  in  connection  with 
sport.  Yet  we  presume  that  it  is  not  more  surprising 
to  learn  that  cheating  is  occasionally  manifested  in 
gentlemen's  races  than  it  is  to  know  that  men  masque- 
rade under  false  colors  in  businesB,  politics,  religion, 
and  all  the  social  and  moral  pursuits  of  life.  It  is  the 
taint  of  the  serpent,  which  will  never  be  bred  out  of 
the  race.  For  the  dignity  and  high  repute  of  amateur 
sport,  however,  it  cannot  too  strongly  be  impressed 
upon  its  adherents  that  the  meanest  and  most 
despicable  of  all  forms  of  cheating  is  that  which  is 
manifested  in  a  friendly  contest,  whose  only  reward  is 
distinction,  and  in  which  every  contestant  is  assumed 

to  be  on  his  honor.

Color  in  Horses. 


Manager  Granger  of  the  San  Jose  Amusement  and 
Racing  Association,  that  has  a  lease  of  the  San  Jose 
track,  says  that  while  he  has  built  several  railroads 
Buccessfully,  the  business  of  managing  a  race  track  is 
entirely  new  to  him,  but  he  is  willing  to  lose  a  little 
moneyin  learning, and  believes  he  will  yet  make  the  San 
Jose  track  the  greatest  training  centre  in  California. 
He  was  much  chagrined  over  the  outcome  of  the  races 
advertised  for  Saturday,  June  10th,  and  says  that 
owing  to  his  not  being  acquainted  with  the  proper 
manner  to  shape  the  advertisement  for  his  opening 
day,  horses  were  advertised  to  go  against  time  instead 
of  showing  exhibition  miles.  He  says  he  was  out  $250 
on  the  day,  but  does  not  regret  the  loss  of  the  money 
so  much  as  he  does  that  people  came  from  a  distance 
to  see  something  that  was  not  done.  Mr.  Granger  has 
made  costly  and  fine  improvements  at  the  track,  hav- 
ing painted  the  grandstand,  whitewashed  stalls  and 
fences  and  made  a  general  clean-up  of  the  grounds  so 
that  they  are  now  in  fine  shape,  while  the  track  is  in 
perfect  condition. 


What  is  the  favorite  color  in  horses?  A  corre- 
spondent in  Kentucky  asks  ub  to  state  how  "fancy" 
horses  are  rated  in  this  regard,  which  color  is  con- 
sidered first,  which  second  and  which  third, also  "which 
sorrel  is  the  chestnut. "  By  "fancy"  horses  we  presume 
our  questioner  means  high  class  carriage  or  saddle 
horses,  and  in  some  ways  it  is  impossible  to  reply  con- 
cisely to  his  query.  If  one  will  pay  close  attention  to 
any  one  of  the  great  horse  marts  for  a  week  or  a  fort- 
night he  will  learn  that  there  iB  a  wide  diversity  of 
opinion  among  individual  users  as  to  which  is  the  best 
color.  This  man  wants  blacks,  the  next  light  chest- 
nuts with  white  manes  and  tails,  a  third  wants  roans 
and  a  fourth  bays,  while  some  one  else  may  want  skew- 
balds and  will  have  nothing  else.  However  the  beBt 
way  to  reply  to  the  question  put  is  to  state  the  case  in 
the  most  general  terms.  The  majority  of  horses  are 
of  that  foxy  red  color  entitled  bay.  There  are  various 
shades  of  this  red,  but  all  go  by  the  one  name — bay. 
Usually  such  horses  have  black  legs  and  manes  and 
tails,  points  as  they  are  called,  though  very  often 
there  is  more  or  less  white  about  the  hind  ankles  and 
not  infrequently  in  front  also,  particularly  if  the  Eni- 
malls  "near  the  blood." 

A  bay  horse  always  looks  well  and  so  does  his 
neighbor  of  the  darker  shade  called  brown.  With 
dealers  who  hope  to  sell  again  at  a  price  larger  than 
the  first  paid  it  is  a  toss-up  between  the  brown  and 
the  bay.  Horses  of  these  hues  cannot  be  objected  to 
on  account  of  color.  Therefore  the  bay  and  the  brown 
may  be  ranked  first  and  second.  Third  on  the  list 
probably  comes  the  dark  liver  or  burnt  chestnut 
which  does  not  differ  greatly  from  the  brown  in  hue- 
After  that  may  perhaps  be  ranked  the  blacks,  the 
roana  and  the  light  chestnuts,  the  main  objection  to 
the  latter  being  that  horses  of  that  color  are  often 
badly  marked  with  white  and  present  a  flashy  sporty 
appearance  which  gentlemen  and  ladies  do  not  like  to 
characterize  their  equipageB.  In  fact  a  man  likes  to 
have  his  horses  known  on  his  account  rather  than 
that  he  should  be  known  on  account  of  his  horn:?. 
Good  dark  roans,  red  or  blue,  are  always  in  demand, 
but  they  are  comparatively  scarce  always  and  every- 
where. Grays  are  not  popular  for  carriage  work 
though  it  is  admitted  that  few  horees  look  betterthan 
those  with  nicely  dapple  gray  coats.  The  lighter 
shades  of  chestnut  are  called  sorrel.  They  are  other- 
wise known  as  golden  or  light  or  washy  chestnut?. —

Successful  Matinee. 


M^ 


NttV  FORTY  YEARS  AGO  an  old  fellow 
named  Gus  Bukofsky  kept  a  general  tracing 
a  Lake  county,  California,  where  the  few 
farmers  and  stock  men  sold  what  they  had, and  bought 
whBt  they  could.  One  day  a  sheep  herder  came  into 
the  store  and  asked  of  the  proprietor: 

"  vVhat  ie  a  brown  hear  skin  »o- 

"Hrowo  bear  skin,"  said  Gus,  "don't  vort  much. 
Dey  vi,  gettln'  so  common  dot  de  city  dealers  won't 
toy  price  (or  'em  Now  black  bear  skins  vas 
Oill-reut.  as  de  market  ish  not  over-stocked." 

•'Then  you  think  I  could  get  a  fair  price  for  a  black 
hi'iir  skin?"  asked  the  sheep  herder. 

"Oh,  sure."  replied  Gus. 

'•Well,  I've  got  a  black  bearskin  to  sell,  and  a  nice 
one  it  is,  too . "  said  the  shepherd. 

The  storekeeper  started  back  with  astonishment, 
out  like  all  of  bis  tribo  recovered  his  equlibrium  in  a 
moment  and  holding  up  both  hands  with  palms 
op  n  and  lingers  extended,  said: 

•'Oh:  You've  got  a  black  bear  skin.  Veil,  I'll  tell 
jou  my  (rient,  black  bear  skins  bring  von  hell  of  a 
price  in  Europe  vere  dem  nobility  fellers  use  em  for 
buggy  robes,  but  dere's  no  sale  for  dem  at  all  in  Lake 
couoty,  cos  eft  rypody  here  ish  Democrats'" 

The  above  incident  was  recalled  to  me  when  I  heard 
tha".  the  much  talked  about  selling  race  advertised  by 
the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Associa- 
tion for  its  Fresno  meeting  had  received  just  one 
entry.  For  three  or  four  years  past  some  seven  or 
eight  trainers  of  my  acquaintance  have  been  calling 
for  selling  races  at  harness  meetings  Every  time  I 
would  run  across  one  of  these  trainers  he  would  begin 
talking  about  selling  races  and  asking  why  associa- 
tions did  not  offer  one  or  two  such  races  and  give  the 
plan  a  trial.  Some  of  them  claimed  that  it  would  be 
the  salvation  of  the  harness  racing  sport,  and  give 
the  hundreds  of  owners  who  fail  to  develop  a  cracker- 
jack,  an  opportunity  to  race  their  horses  where  they 
would  have  a  chance  to  win.  After  the  program  for 
the  Breeders'  August  meeting  was  published,  there 
was  quite  a  protest  because  a  selling  race  was  not  on 
the  program,  and  at  least  one  numerously  signed 
petition  was  received  by  the  Secretary  suggesting 
conditions  for  a  selling  race  to  be  put  on  the  Fresno 
program.  Their  suggestion  was  acted  upon  and  the 
program,  which  clostd  last  week,  contained  such  a 
race.  It  received  one  lone  entry,  and  this  from  an 
owner  who,  bo  far  as  my  knowledge  goes,  had  never 
made  any  demand  for  races  of  this  sort.  The  owners 
and  trainers  who  had  been  so  persistent  in  their 
requests  for  a  selling  race  passed  this  one  by.  Like 
Bukofsky's  black  bear  skin  there  was  a  big  demand 
for  it  until  one  was  offered  and  then  every  last  man  of 
them  side  stepped.  'Twas  ever  thus.  From  the 
cradle  to  the  grave  people  are  always  crying  for  what 
they  haven't  got,  and  when  they  get  it  they  don't 
win  t  it.  The  State  Fair  bas  two  selling  events  on  its 
program  of  harness  races.  I  hope  they  will  fill,  as  I 
would  like  to  see  the  plan  have  a  trial,  hut  if  the 
people  who  have  se  persistently  advocated  them  re- 
fuse to  enter,  how  can  they  expect  others  to? 


Budd  Doble,  to  whom  Mr.  Jordan  sent  one  of  the 
charts  of  Lou  Dillon's  gait,  expresses  the  very  highest 
opinion  of  Mr.  Jordan's  work,  and  believes  It  will 
lead  to  great  results  in  the  curing  of  faults  in  the  gaits 
of  horses.  Measuring  the  strides  of  horses  at  speed  is 
not  a  new  thing,  but  Mr.  Jordan  has  many  new  ideas 
in  connection  with  it.  He  has  made  a  deep  study  of 
i;  for  years,  but  has  been  backward  about  giving  any 
of  his  deductions  to  the  public  as  he  says  he  has  "so 
many  things  yet  to  ascertain." 


The  account  printed  in  this  department  last  week 
of  the  measurements  by  Mr.  Rudolph  Jordan  of  Lou 
Dillon's  strides  when  that  mare  was  trotting  a  2:10 
gait,  has  attracted  much  attention  from  horsemen 
and  quite  a  number  have  called  at  the  oflice  of  this 
journal  to  see  the  chart  of  the  same  made  by  Mr. 
Jordan.  Io  a  letter  to  me  Mr.  Jordan  desires  to 
correct  tho  statement  made  in  my  article  that  he  is  '  'a 
capitalist. "  He  states  that  be  Is  In  the  employ  of  a  fire 
Insurance  company  and  tbe  term  capitalist  is  quite 
erroneous.  I  hasten  to  make  tho  correction  but  wish 
that  be  were  entitled  to  the  appellation.  In  his  letter 
Mr.  Jordan  says  that  It  seems  to  him  almost  pre- 
mature to  bring  tbe  matter  before  the  public  at  this 
t  hu  has  still  much  to  ascertain,  if  the  remedy 
Is  to  lollow  the  defect.  Por  the  present  Mr.  Jordan 
says  he  preferi  to  give  the  data  of  the  gait,  and  let 
the  men  who  make  It  a  business  to  shoo  horses  furnish 
the  remedy.  Some  day,  when  his  proofs  are  many  he 
may  be  able  to  lay  down  a  law,  but  at  present  Is  con- 
tent to  suggest  only.  Mr.  Jordan  further  says  that 
he  only  bas  a  limited  time  from  business  to  spend  on 
this  very  Interesting  study,  but  that  he  has  peraever- 
aocuonough  to  carr;  on  the  work 

In  time.  Ho  closes  his  letter  an  'ollows:  "It  ie  roy

A  sensational  mile  was  paced  at  Plessanton  last 
Saturday  by  the  green  horse  Bonnie  Steinway,  owned 
by  Mr.  Charles  Griffith.  This  stallion  is  a  five-year- 
old,  and  was  shipped  East  to  tbe  Blue  Ribbon  sale  in 
May,  1903,  when  the  horses  belonging  to  the  estate  of 
the  late  Millen  Griffith  were  sold.  Bnnnie  Direct  2:05} 
was  to  have  gone  to  tbe  sale,  hut  Mr.  Chas.  Griffith 
bought  him  from  the  estate  before  the  horses  were 
shipped.  At  the  sale  he  thought  Bonnie  Steinway 
was  not  bringing  as  much  as  he  should  and  became  a 
bidder  for  him  finally  getting  him  for  $325.  Bonnie 
Steinway  is  by  Steinway  out  cf  Bon  Bor  2:26,  the  dam 
of  Bonnie  Direct  2:05}  and  Bonsilene  2:144.  He  was 
worked  a  little  last  fall  and  Al  Charvo  drove  him  a 
mile  in  2:13}.  The  horse  has  been  in  the  stud  this 
year,  but  did  not  make  a  very  heavy  season  and  Mr. 
Griffith  has  been  working  him  for  several  weeks.  Last 
Saturday  he  paced  a  mile  in  2:08  flat,  with  tbe  last 
half  in  1:02}  by  twenty  watches.  A  conservative 
horseman  who  has  owned  a  number  of  good  ones,  saw 
the  performance  and  tells  me  that  Bonnie  Steinway 
looks  like  a  two-minute  pacer  to  him.  A  mile  in  2:08 
in  June  by  a  green  horse  that  has  been  in  the  stud,  is 
quite  a  remarkable  performance.  Bonnie  Steinway 
should  be  able  to  win  a  few  of  those  big  pacing  stakes 
on  the  Grand  Circuit  next  year  if  trained  for  them. 


Sam  Gambia,  the  well-known  horseman,  left  this 
week  for  the  Nevada  gold  fields  where,  with  several 
other  parties,  he  is  interested  in  a  mining  claim  which 
they  will  prospect.  I  hope  they  may  make  a  million 
out  of  it. 

I  regret  to  see  that  the  efforts  of  the  American 
Horse  Breeder  and  the  Horse  Review  to  establish  the 
breeding  of  the  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon  have  devel- 
oped into  a  controversy,  and  that  Mr.  Gamble's 
articles  in  the  former  paper  are  being  severely 
criticised  by  the  latter  journal.  Mr.  Gamble 
has  been  putting  in  a  great  deal  of  work 
trying  to  find  evidence  that  would  lead 
to  tbe  identification  of  Fly  and  I  do  not  believe  he  had 
any  particular  theory  of  his  own  to  start  on,  but  was 
simply  looking  for  the  truth.  The  fact  that  afler  a 
long  and  rigid  search  and  conversations  with  every 
person  he  could  find  who  knew  anything  about  the 
late  W.  C.  Ralston's  horses,  he  failed  to  find  anyone 
who  remembered  anything  about  such  a  transaction 
as  the  Review  based  its  Black  Flying  Cloud  theory  on, 
led  Mr.  Gamble  to  believe  that  such  a  mare  never 
passed  from  Ralston  to  Kimball  and  consequently 
could  not  have  been  the  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon.  Mr. 
Gamble  did  find  a  great  deal  of  evidence  about  sorrel 
mares  owned  by  Mr.  Kimball,  but  none  of  them  were 
by  Black  Flying  Cloud.  Unfortunately  Mr.  Gamble's 
education  was  as  he  says  obtained  "at  nights  by  the 
light  of  a  lantern  in  a  box  stall"  after  he  was  twenty- 
one  years  old,  and  he  sometimes  words  his  corre- 
spondence in  a  manner  that  fails  to  convey  his  ideas 
and  the  thing  he  intends  to  say  is  given  just  the 
opposite  meaning.  He  also  often  makes  a  slight 
reference  to  facts  that  are  important  and  should  be 
given  in  full  to  be  understood  by  the  reader,  and  he 
bas  cone  of  that  experience  in  regard  to  the  marshal- 
ling of  facts  and  pesenting  them  in  their  proper  order 
which  would  make  them  much  more  effective,  and 
better  understood.  I  do  not  believe  Mr.  Gamble  is 
trying  to  destroy  any  one's  theory  or  to  build  up  one 
of  his  own  for  the  sake  of  being  the  discoverer  of  Fly 's 
breeding.  To  my  knowledge  he  has  followed  several 
leads  and  given  them  up  as  soon  as  he  found  them  un- 
reliable, even  though  they  were  in  accordance  with 
his  own  theory.  If  he  had  the  time  and  money  to  ex- 
pend in  the  search  I  believe  Mr.  Gamble  could  dig  up 
more  evidence  of  value  in  this  matter  than  any  person 
in  California  or  elsewhere.  He  has  already  expended 
more  than  he  oan  allord  on  the  case,  and  now  that  he 
has  gone  to  the  mines  his  search  for  a  pedigree  will 
give  way  for  a  time  to  his  search  for  gold  and  I  hope 
that  he  will  bo  so  successful  in  the  latter,  that  be  will 
find  enough  of  the  yellow  metal  to  provide  for  all  his 
wants  during  the  balance  of  his  days  and  enable  him 
Anally  to  get  together  all  the  evidence  he  has  secured 
■H  to  the  grandam  of  Lou  Dillon.  H. 


Riverside,  June  19,  1905. 

The  third  meeting  of  the  Riverside  Matinee  Driving 
Club  held  last  Saturday  was  a  grand  success  in  every 
particular. 

Race  No.  1,  novelty,  nearest  to  three  minutes,  with 
eight  starters,  was  won  by  the  president  of  the  club, 
F.  E.  Bender  with  his  new  horse  Tom  McKinney  re- 
cently purchased  from  John  A.  Cole,  President  of  the 
San  Bernardino  County  Driving  Club;  time  3:00, 
Lauretta  second  in  2:58. 

Race  No.  2,  2:50  pace — There  were  three  entries  in 
this  event.  M.  Griffin's  hay  gelding  Dewey  winning 
n  straight  heats;  time  2:361,  2:32,  Hal  second,  Robt . 
W.  third.  This  race  was  stoutly  contested  by  Hal 
with  Secretary  Wilson  up,  hut  he  could  not  win. 

Race  No.  3,  2:35  pace — In  this  there  were  three  en- 
tiles. The  race  being  won  by  I.  E.  Nolands'  sorrel 
horse  Dewey  in  straingt  heats;  time  2:27},  2:29}.  This 
is  the  third  time  Mr.  Noland  has  won  the  2:35  pace 
which  entitles  him  to  the  beautiful  silver  cup  pre- 
sented by  tbe  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club.  Our  whole 
club  share  with  Mr.  Noland  his  pleasure  in  the  owner- 
ship of  it.  Betty  Raymond  was  second,  and  "Willie 
Jib  third. 

Willie  Jib  is  now  owned  by  John  A.  Cole,  President 
of  San  Bernardino  County  Driving  Club,  he  is  a  very 
fine  looker  and  can  step  a  mile  in  2:16.  He  was  only 
entered  te  filll  the  race  and  give  him  a  slow  workout. 

Race  No.  4,  2:35  trotting,  had  four  entries  and  three 
starters.  Bonita,  br  m,  owne  d  by  J.  H.  Thompson  won 
in  straight  heats.  Time— 2:34,  2:29}.  The  Blonde 
second;  Monicrat  third.  This  race  for  some  unaccoun- 
able  reason  was  much  slower  than  the  public  looked 
for,  as  all  three  of  the  horses  are  capable  of  stepping 
a  mile  in  2:25  or  better. 

Race  No.  5,  2:45  trotting,  with  three  starters  Lau- 
retta, b  m,  owned  by  W.  A.  Hoyt  won  in  straight 
heats.  Time— 2:34,  2:38.  Maude  second;  Bob  Neer- 
nut  third.     This  race  was  closely  contested. 

Race  No.  6,  3-mile  mixed.  There  were  six  entries. 
The  race  was  won  by  Ping  Pong  in  straight  heats. 
Time— 2:40},  2:41.  It  is  claimed  Ping  Pong  has  never 
been  worked  for  speed  by  any  one.  It  is'  admitted, 
however,  that  a  Methodist  preacher  used  him  for  a 
driving  horse  and  now  all  those  having  horses  to  train 
are  searching  for  the  Methodist  parson  and  those  who 
drove  behind  Ping  Pong  in  the  race  say  they  will 
guarantee  this  divine  an  increase  of  salary  if  he  will 
locate  here-about  and  instruct  our  professional  train- 
ers in  the  way  they  should  go. 

We  are  all  anticipating  the  best  times  of  our  lives, 
July  3d  to  8th,  at  Los  Angeles.  The  number  of  entries, 
the  horses,  the  men,  the  officers,  the  track,  all  point 
to  the  success  of  the  meeting.  Riverside.

State  Fair  Track  to  Be  Ready  August  ist. 

The  work  of  building  and  grading  the  race  course 
at  new  Agricultural  Park  is  progressing  rapidly,  says 
the  Sacramento  Bee.  Sixty  teams  are  at  work  filling 
and  grading  the  track  which  Supervising  Architect 
A.  M.  Allen  expects  to  have  in  readiness  to  jog  over 
by  August  1st. 

Four  horses  are  attached  to  an  immense  scraper, 
and  by  this  means  a  vast  amount  of  <;arth  is  moved  by 
each  team  every  day.  The  material  for  the  grading 
of  the  track  is  taken  from  the  center  field.  The  soil, 
which  is  principally  a  red  clay,  is  particularly  adapted 
to  the  making  of  a  fast  track.  The  stretches  and 
turns  are  built  high,  the  latter  being  well  thrown  up 
to  the  outside.  This,  with  the  character  of  the 
material,  insures  a  fast,  safe  track,  well  drained. 

Architect  Allen,  who  has  had  a  wide  experience  in 
constructing  race  courses  in  different  parts  of  tl  e 
United  States,  declares  the  State  Fair  track  will  te 
one  of  the  fastest  in  the  country. 

The  home-stretch  has  been  graded,  and  this  portion 
will  require  but  little  working  to  put  it  in  condition. 

Cottage  stables  will  be  erected  back  of  the  back- 
stretch,  where  the  gallopers  will  be  quartered.  In  a 
corner  of  the  grounds  near  the  first  turn  cottage 
stables  for  the  harness  horses  will  be  located.  The 
temporary  grand  stand  will  be  located  in  relatively 
the  same  position  as  that  occupied  by  the  grand  stand 
at  old  Agricultural  Park.  There  will  be  several  niches 
and  corners  about  the  giounds  not  required  for  the 
several  buildings  to  be  erected,  and  Secretary  Albert 
Lindley  has  in  mind  a  scheme  for  utilizing  them.  It 
is  his  idea  to  make  theBe  places  inviting  to  people  from 
the  country  districts,  who  may  be  induced  to  come  to 
the  Fair  in  their  conveyances  and  camp  on  the  grounds 
throughout  the  meeting.  He  suggests  furnishing 
them  with  hay  and  grain  for  their  teams  at  actual 
cost. 

A  mile  in  2:11}  is  the  fastest  work  reported  from 
Louisville.  It  is  credited  to  the  pacer  Ben  Gee  2:18} 
by  Reno's  Baby  2:14.

The  Amende  Honorable. 


The  following  interesting  item  from  the  Denver 
Post  shows  how  easy  it  is  to  quash  a  "reform"  move- 
ment in  Denver: 

"A  crusade  started  by  members  of  the  city  council 
against  bookmakers  and  purveyors  of  cooling  bever- 
ages at  the  Overland  race  meeting  is  off.  The  alder- 
men and  supervisors  who  were  piqued  at  being  ignored 
by  those  in  the  betting  combine  and  by  the  refresh- 
ment concessionaires  have  had  tneir  wounded  feelings 
soothed.  So  there  will  be  no  arrests  made  at  the  track 
today.  When  fifty  season  tickets  for  the  races 
appeared  in  the  council  committee  room  this  morning 
a  half  dozen  aldermen  and  supervisors  got  together 
and    decided   that   amends  had    been    made    for    the 

indignity  offered  them."

Cure  for  Bog  Spavin. 

Mr.  Julian  Bassett  of  Fremont,  Mich.,  writes  June  5th  as  fol- 
lows: '  Enolosed  find  one  dollar,  for  which  please  send  one  bottle 
of  your  blister  I  find  Qulnn's  Ointment  Is  just  the  thing  to  have 
around  a  stable.  Have  removed  from  my  colt's  legs  what  horse- 
men call  bog  spavin  and  now  have  another  case  onwblchlwl-h 
to  try  it."  This  is  the  general  expression  of  horsemen  who  have 
given  Qulnn's  Ointment  a  trial.  For  curbs,  splints,  spavins, 
wlndpurfs  and  all  bunches,  use  this  wonderful  remedy.  Price  one 
dollar  per  bott:e  delivered.  Address  *V.  B.  Eddy  &  Co.,  White-

DENVER   MEETING    OPENS. 

California     Bred    Horses    Win     Both     Harness 
Events   on   Opening  Day. 

The  largest  attendance  ever  seen  at  Overland  Park 
on  an  op?ning  day  witnessed  a  program  of  mixed 
racingtbat  was  long  drawn  out  but  interesting  and 
good  sport.  The  d ay 's  card  began  with  the  2:30  pace 
for  which  the  purse  was  $500.  There  were  six  starters 
out  of  the  original  ten  entries  and  horses  from  Pleas- 
anton  got  first  and  second  money.  Five  heats  were 
paced,  the  race  ending  at  that  time  according  to  a 
special  rule.  Henry  Dunlap's  gelding  Harold  D.  by 
Dexter  Prince  was  the  winner  with  two  heats  to  his 
credit,  and  William  Brown's  Golden  Gate  by  Bay  Bird 
was  second.  In  the  books  prior  to  this  race  Golden 
Gate  was  the  favorite  at  4  to  5,  Harold  D.  was  3  to  1, 
Lady  M.  7  to  1,  and  even  money  on  the  Field.  Fire 
to  one  was  offered  against  Harold  D.  before  the  second 
heat  and  then  the  California  boyB  got  their  checks 
down  and  cleaned  up  quite  a  pile.  After  the  second 
heat  Harold  D.  was  held  at  1  to  3. 

The  2:20  trot  for  a  purse  of  $1000  was  very  easy  for 
the  Oakwood  Park  bred  mare,  Confienza  by  James 
Madison,  dam  Ituna  by  Steinway,  an  own  sister  to 
Tuna  2:08J.  Confienza  is  owned  by  Ed  Gaylord  of 
Denver.  She  took  the  race  in  straight  heats  and 
reduced  her  record  to  2:14J  in  the  second  heat.  Get- 
away took  second  money  and  Dewey  third.  Delia 
McCarthy  won  fourth  money.  By  the  showing  in 
this  race  Getaway  should  win  the  match  with  the 
McKinney  mare  when  they  meet  at  Denver  on  the 
29th  inst.  Major  Cook  was  distanced  in  the  third 
heat,  after  being  last  in  each  of  the  others.

During  the  day  the  guidele6s  pacer,  College  Maid, 
went  against  time  for  a  half  mile  and  covered  the  dis- 
tance in  59|  seconds.     It  was  a  very  fine  performance. 

Summaries  for  Monday's  racing  have  failed  to  reach

2:15  trot  which  was  won  by  the  mare  Helen  Norte 
after  making  a  bad  showing  in  the  first  heat,  for 
which  trainer  Rutherford  is  under  investigation.  The 
first  heat  was  won  by  W.  A.Clark  Jr.'s  Morone,  a  colt 
he  purchased  as  a  three-year-old  last  season  and  which 
took  a  record  of  2:18J  in  Illinois  last  August.  Sum-

Two  harness  races  were  on  the  card  for  Wednesday. 
The  Strathway  gelding  Will  Clark  was  in  the  trot, 
but  made  a  very  poor  showing  and  was  outside  the 
money  although  2:18^  was  the  best  time  made.  Rosa- 
lind the  Stam  B.  mare  stood  fifth  in  the  summary  and 
was  third  in  two  heata.  No  other  California  bred 
horses  started  Wednesday.     Summaries:

A  Sunday  school  teacher  recently  told  her  class 
about  the  cruelty  involved  in  docking  horses.  "Can 
any  little  girl  tell  me,"she  said,  "of  any  appropriate 
verse  of  Scripture  referring  to  suoh  treatment?" 
There  was  a  pause,  and  then  a  small  girl  said  solemnly, 
"What  God  hath  joined  together,  let  no  man 
asunder.':

Erla  Pointer,  a  four-year-old  green  pacing  mare  by 
Star  Pointer,  out  of  the  California  favorite  Javelin 
2:081,  has  worked  in  2:17}  with  the  last  quarter  in  32} 
seconds  and  is  looked  upon  as  an  excellent  prospect  at 
the  Cleveland  track. 

E.  E.  Smathere,  former  owner  of  Major  Delmar 
1:59},  John  M.  2:02},  Dr.  Strong  2:07},  Lord  Derby 
2:05}  is  evidently  in  the  running  horse  business  to  stay 
as  he  now  owns  over  fifty  bangtails  and  has  strings  in 
training  at  three  different  tracks. 

Pueblo  will  hold  a  race  meeting  immediately  after

hold  the  August  race  meeting  of  the  association. 
Propositions  have  been  received  from  both  Santa 
Rosa  and  San  Jose.     

John  R.  Conway,  the  handsome  chestnut  pacer  by 
Diablo  out  of  the  dam  of  Harry  Hurst  2:14,  has  been 
working  well  for  Fred  Chadbourne  and  paced  a  mile 
in  2:12$  at  the  Pleasanton  track  one  day  last  week. 
Doetor"j.,  the  roan  pacer  by  Doctor  Hicks,  worked  a 
mile  in  the  same  notch. 


Col.  R.  J.  Mackenzie,  owner  of  Harold  H.  2:03},  an- 
nounces his  intention  of  building  a  mile  track  on  his 
property  in  the  west  end  of  Winnipeg,  Man.  It  will 
be  one  of  the  best  equipped  mile  tracks  in  the  Do- 
minion, and  will  be  used  for  training  Mr.  Mackenzie's 
string,  and  for  public  racing  as  well. 


C.  L.  Jones  of  Modesto  has  sold  his  two-year-old 
colt  by  L.  W.  Russell,  dam  Ceta  by  Piedmont,  to  Dr. 
F.  R.  Delappe  for  $250.  Dr.  Delappe  is  a  physician 
practicing  in  Modesto  and  will  have  the  colt,  which  is 
quite  a  promising  young  trotter,  trained  aB  a  three- 
year-old,  and  regrets  that  he  is  not  staked . 

As  to  the  prices  of  young  horses  Eastern  exchanges 
quote  the  following  transaction:  Two  weeks  ago  a 
New  York  dealer  journeyed  to  a  farm  in  Vermont  and 
there  purchased  lb  four-year-old  horses  at  the  average 
price  of  $550.  Last  year  about  the  same  time  he  vis- 
ited the  same  farm  and  took  off  11  head  at  $450  each. 


Sweet  little  Dariel  2:00}  and  her  pole-mate  Connor 
2:03}  are  now  owned  in  England  by  Mr.  Winans.  This 
is  the  second  pacing  champion  to  be  o  vned  across  the 
big  pond  and  leaves  us  but  one  champion  of  the 
wiggling  gait.  There  is  plenty  more  material  on  hand 
however. 

Lou  Green,  Jr.,  Indianola,  111.,  proprietor  of  the 
Maple  Grove  Farm,  has  a  most  sensational  lot  of  green 
trotters  and  pacers  In  training,  most  of  them  by  his 
stallion,  Red  Medium  2:23}.  He  Is  also  training  Red 
Medium,  and  expects  him  to  trot  to  a  very  low  record 
this  year.  

The  horsemen  around  Cleveland  seem  to  think  that 
Harry  McKerron  2:24},  a  young  son  of  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron 2:04$,  is  about  the  best  trotter  in  his  class 
around  there.  He  worked  in  2:13}  last  fall  and  the 
rallblrds  will  be  greatly  mistaken  If  be  does  not  beat 
2:10  this  fall.  

O.  A.  Lowe  of  Woodland  recently  made  a  trip  to 
Northern  California  and  Washington  In  search  of 
good  horses  for  the  California  market.  He  succeeded 
Id  securing  about  four  hundred  and  has  shipped  two 
hundred  to  his  farm  In  Yolo  county,  where  they  will 
be  fitted  for  sale.  

Queen  MoGregor,  own  sinter  to  Pansy  McGregor 
2:17*,  owned  by  W.  H.  Bradbury  of  Topeka,  Kan., 
has  a  bay  filly  at  ber  side  that  was  sired  by  Jackdaw 
r  Is  the  dam  of  Bedella  2:17$, 
and  three  other  (rotters  with  records  better  than  2:25 
all  sired  by  Jackdaw. 

Bonole  Me,  the  Ronnlo  Dlreot-Myrtlo  Ally  that  W. 
H.  Lumsden  »cnt  Benyon,  has   worked   a 

mile  In  2:22$  Btnoe  reaching  Lexington.  "Marque," 
who  saw  her  work  says  she  Is  beautifully  galted  and 
has  stake  class.  Benyon  will  take  all  his  horses  to 
Cleveland  about  July  let. 


Arthur  Brown  of  Napa  and  Mr.  Dellia  of  San  Fran- 
cisco visited  the  Kenney  Manufacturing  Company  at 
531  Valencia  street  this  week  and  purchased  new  Mc- 
Murray  carts.  This  company  has  for  sale  a  good 
second-hand  runabout  with  wood  wheels  and  rubber 
tires  that  is  as  good  as  new,  and  the  price  is  only  $60. 


One  of  the  features  of  the  season  in  New  York  is  the 
seemingly  unlimited  demand  for  the  services  of  those 
whe  are  competent  to  give  lessons  in  riding  and  driv 
ing.  Even  lessons  in  driving  the  safe  family  horse 
are  desired  in  a  measure  which  taxes  the  powers  and 
time  of  those  who  are  in  the  business  of  supplying 
such  education.  

In  the  Chicago  market  last  week  European  export 
dealers  paid  as  high  as  $440  for  good  high-stepping 
harness  horses,  and  one  buyer,  shipping  to  the  City  of 
Mexico,  paid  from  $600  to  $1500  a  pair.  The  most  of 
the  horses  taken  for  export  over  sea  were  taken  in 
the  auctions,  but  the  Mexicans  came  from  the  stables 
of  the  professional  finishers. 

The  game  trotting  ooailion  Charley  Herr  2:07  has 
long  been  referred  to  as  the  "little  bulldog  trotter" 
which  is  hardly  appropriate  for  the  son  of  Alfred  G., 
unless  a  16  hand  horse  can  be  called  little,  as  that  is 
his  height.  He  doeB  appear  small  in  harness  but  is 
extremely  high  at  the  withers  which  makes  him 
measure  more  than  he  looks. 


The  statement  sent  out  to  the  daily  press  that  the 
mile  in  2:11}  made  by  the  trotter  Silver  Sign  at  Denver 
last  Thursday  is  the  fastest  mile  ever  trotted  or  paced 
on  the  Overland  Park  track  is  entirely  misleading. 
Winfield  Stratton  won  a  heat  there  in  2:07}  and  Laura 
Spurr,  Lottie  Smart  and  other  fast  ones  have  beaten 
2:10  over  that  track  on  different  occasions. 


Owners  of  trotters  and  pacers  should  calculate  on 
making  entries  for  the  State  Fair  meeting  this  year. 
The  new  track  will  be  a  fast  one  and  there  is  certain 
to  be  a  large  attendance  at  the  fair  this  year  as  every- 
one wants  to  see  the  new  grounds  and  new  buildings. 
Entries  will  close  July  10th,  which  is  after  the  Los 
Angeles  meeting  closes.  Get  in  line,  boys,  and  see  if 
you  can't  win  the  first  race  over  the  new  track. 


Ben  Kenney  has  let  his  M.  &  M.  candidate  Ruth  C. 
by  Patron  down  with  a  mile  in  2:13}  and  a  half  in  1:05$. 
This  mare  is  working  better  than  ever  before  and  is 
galted  much  better  than  last  season.  The  other  stake 
candidate  in  the  Kenney  stable,  Allie  J.,  has  not 
worked  better  than  2:20  and  Ruth  C.  will  probably  be 
depended  upon  in  the  big  Detroit  event. 


Mr.  John  W.  Martin,  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Supervisors  of  Tulare  county  has  been  in  San  Fran 
ci6co  this  week  and  reports  a  prosperous  season  in  his 
section  of  the  State.  His  stallion  McKinley  2:29  by 
McKinney  has  made  a  good  season  and  is  very  popular 
with  breeders  there,  as  besides  being  a  well  bred  horse 
he  is  large,  handsome  and  a  perfectly  gaited  fast 
trotter.  Mr.  Martin  believes  the  Hanford  fair  and 
race  meeting  to  be  held  in  October  will  be  successful 
and  says  that  a  meeting  will  also  be  given  at  Tulare  in 
all  probability. 

The  Pleasanton  Times  of  last  week  contained  the 
following:  "A.  J.  Fromm  took  possession  of  hiB  new 
purchase,  the  Rose  Hotel,  on  Tuesday  last,  when  he 
arrived  with  his  wife,  son  and  daughter.  The  Rose 
has  always  been  a  favorite  stopping  place  for  travel- 
ing men  and  will  no  doubt  continue  to  he  so  under  the 
new  management.  Mr.  Olney,  who  has  run  the  house 
successfully  for  the  past  couple  of  years,  has  not 
decided  just  what  he  will  do,  but  will  take  a  rest  for 
the  present  and  giye  his  attention  to  an  invention 
which  he  has  in  hand." 


According  to  the  decision  of  the  Board  of  Appeals 
of  the  American  Trotting  Association,  in  the  some- 
what famous  Park  River,  N.  D.,  case,  a  harness  racing 
association  has  no  right  to  change  the  dates  of  its 
meeting,  even  if  the  change  is  included  within  one 
and  the  same  week.  Entry  fees  collected  and  paid 
under  protest  by  the  suspension  route  have  been 
ordered  returned. 

The  old  chestnut  gelding,  Westmont  that  has  a 
pauing  record  of  2:01},  with  running  mate,  made  in 
1884,  Is  still  living  at  the  age  of  30  years,  and  seems 
hale  and  hearty.  Westmont  was  sired  by  Almont  33, 
dam  Annie  (dam  of  Egmont  2:22$,  Lamertine  2:27$, 
Westmont  2:13}),  by  Cottrill  Morgan,  son  of  Black 
Hawk  5  He  is  owned  by  Chas.  Patten,  of  Palatine,  a 
short  distance  out  from  Chicago,  where  he  is  passing 
his  declining  years  in  perfect  comfort. 


Mr.  T.  J.  Crowley   of   this  city,   a  director  of  the 

Breeders   Ancoclatlon,   left    laet    week    for    Portland 

rhere  he  will  visit  the  Lewls&  Clark  Exposition.  We 

ummend  him  to  the  tender  care  of  Editor  Wisdom  of 

Spirit,  who  will  |,:>  a.«)  see  tba'  he  does   not 

.iiger  too  'ong  on  "Tho  Trail." 


There  will  be  good  purses  to  race  for  over  at 
Ml8BOula,  Montana,  In  September.  Four  $1000  stakes 
are  offorod  for  trotters  and  pacers.  Entries  close 
July  10th.  California  owners  who  race  at  home  this 
year  will  have  time  to  ship  to  Montana  after  the  State 
Fair  at  Saoramento  closes,  and  race  their  horses  at 
Missoula.  There  will  be  several  weeks  of  good  racing 
at  other  polntB  In  Montana  and  Idaho.  Look  over 
the  advertisement  of  the  Western  Montana  Fair 
Association  In  this  Issue. 


I.  M.  Moddieon,  who  is  just  closing  the  season  at 
Marysville  with  his  Stam  B.  Btallion  Kildare,  writes 
us  that  the  horse  has  made  a  fair  season,  and  but  for 
an  accident  would  be  put  in  training,  but  the  veteri- 
nary adviBes  that  he  be  laid  over  till  next  year.  It 
seems  that  some  parties  took  the  hor6e  out  of  his 
stall  and  undertook  to  steal  a  service,  with  the  result 
that  Kildare  was  Beverely  kicked  over  the  heart, 
which  laid  him  up  for  five  weeks.  If  it  had  not  been 
for  this  accident  Kildare  would  surely  have  been  a 
new  and  fast  performer  for  Stam  B. 


Mrs.  L.  J.  H.  Hastings  of  Los  Angeles  has  a  number 
of  standard  bred  horses  for  6ale  among  them  the 
handsome  stallion  Sky  Pointer,  Jr.,  that  is  by  Sky 
Pointer,  an  own  brother  to  Star  Pointer  1:59},  and  out 
of  Juliet  D.  2:13,  dam  of  Irish  2:08},  by  McKinney. 
Sky  Pointer,  Jr.  has  worked  a  mile  in|2:10  and  as  he  is 
a  sure  foal  getter  and  his  colts  very  handsome  and 
uniform  individuals  he  should  be  a  very  valuable 
horse  either  to  race  or  to  place  in  the  stud.  Juliet  D. 
and  her  daughter  Grace  an  own  sister  to  Sky  Pointer. 
Jr.  were  both  bred  to  Hal  B.  2:04}  this  year. 


The  American  Sportsman  of  Cleveland  dated  June 
15th  says:  "Lou  Dillon  arrived  this  week  and  is  at 
home  in  Mr.  Billings'  stable.  She  occupieB  a  Btall 
alongside  of  Major  Delmar.  On  Wednesday  morning 
Lou's  caretaker,  Ed  Malloy,  jogged  her  while  Doc 
Tanner  jogged  Major  Delmar.  The  greatest  change 
in  the  actions  of  Lou  was  seen  when  she  went  out  on 
the  road  as  6teady  as  any  road  horse,  while  Major 
Delmar  was  jogged  immediately  behind  her.  She  will 
he  under  Doc  Tanner's  care  and  will  be  used  by  Bil- 
lings in  the  matinees  in  speed  contests  with  Major 
Delmar.  The  Major  has  not  been  better  than  2:16, 
but  is  in  grand  form  and  will  soon  be  in  shape  to  go  a 
fast  mile." 


Grant  Lapham,  the  well  known  horseman  of 
Alameda,  died  on  Wednesday  last  at  the  Alameda 
Sanatorium  after  an  operation  for  appendicitis.  Mr. 
Lapham  was  a  native  of  Glens  Falls,  New  York,  but 
had  been  a  resident  of  Alameda  for  twenty-five  years. 
Although  engaged  in  real  estate  business  the  greater 
part  of  the  time  during  his  residence  in  California,  he 
was  a  natural  horseman  and  built  and  managed  the 
large  training  stable  at  the  Alameda  track.  Among 
other  horses  trained  by  him  was  the  fast  mare  Phoebe 
Childers  2:10}  owned  by  Mr.  L  E.  Clawson  of  this 
city.  Mr.  Lapham  was  an  excellent  caretaker ;  and 
hiB  horses  were  always  in  fine  condition,  and  stalls, 
harness  and  rigs  kept  scrupulously  clean.  Few  train- 
ing stables  were  kept  in  the  perfect  order  that  Mr. 
Lapham  kept  his.  He  was  a  strong  and  robust  man, 
and  the  announcement  of  his  death  came  as  a  great 
surprise  to  his  many  friends  and  acquaintances. 


Robert  Smith,  of  Los  Angeles,  writes  as  follows  to 
the  Chicago  Horse  Review:  "I  have  sold  all  but  two  of 
my  horses,  viz.:  Bellemont,  record  last  vear  as  a  two- 
year-old  2:20$,  bay  filly  by  Zombro  2:11,  dam  by  Alta- 
mont,  and  a  bay  colt  by  Peter  the  Great  2:07},  first 
dam  a  producing  daughter  of  Sultan,  second  dam 
Beulah  (dam  of  Beuzetta  2:06},  Early  Bird  2:10,  etc.). 
Bellemont  won  the  Futurity  (California)  for  two-year- 
olds  last  year,  and  obtained  her  record,  which,  1 
believe,  was  the  fastest  for  two-year-old  fillies  for  the 
year.  The  Peter  the  Great  colt  was  worked  by  Jos. 
Thayer,  Lexington,  Ky.,  as  a  three-vear-old  and 
trotted  a  mile  in  2:21.  I  put  him  to  pacing  and  he 
stepped  a  mile  in  2:11  J  last  week.  He  can  step  a 
quarter  In  0:30,  so  I  have  hopes  of  him  being  a  fair 
horse.  We  are  much  pleased  with  the  outlook  of  our 
coming  meeting  July  3-8,  to  which  we  have  gotten 
about  190  entries,  and  we  fully  expect  a  revival  of  the 
harness  horse  interest.  Miles  from  2:08  to  2:10  are  of 
daily  occurrence  at  the  track  and  it  looks  to  me  that 
it  will  be  a  good  horse  that  gets  the  money  in  most  of 
theclasBes."

Ecstatic  2:051.  

Smith  &  Perry,  of  Chicago,  have  seeured  the 
betting  privilege  for  the  Grand  Circuit  meetings  at 
Detroit  and  Buffalo.     

An  appropriation  of  $60,000  is  practically  assured  by 
the  Wisconsin  legislature  for  making  improvements 
at  the  State  Fairgrounds. 


Panella  2:13,  dam  of  Sadie  Mc.  2:11*  and  Todd  2:14} 
has  been  bred  to  Moko  instead  of  Peter  the  Great 
2:071  as  was  recently  reported. 


Adverta(3)2:251,  trial  2:14}  by  Advertiser  2:151,  has

N.  Y.,  and  goes  into  the  stable  of  W.  L.  Snow. 


Robert  Mc  2:10}  is  working  nicely  at  the  Indian- 
apolis track  and  is  slated  for  a  trip  down  the  Grand 
Circuit.  He  is  in  the  hands  of  Trainer  Rice  at  present 
but  will  be  raced  by  Float  Jolly. 


The  $5000  Transylvania  Stake  to  be  trotted  at  Lex- 
ington received  fifteen  nominations  but  as  starters  do 
not  have  to  be  named  until  September  1st  it  is  im- 
possible to  give  an  idea  of  the  possible  starters. 

Major  Muscovite  2:07  is  up  to  his  old  tricks  again, 
and  started  in  his  season's  campaign  at  Baltimore  by 
beating  Frank  Yoakum  2:05|  and  Nerva  Patchen  2:08 
easily  in  straight  heats.    The  fastest  time  is  2:111- 

Next  year  all  eyes  will  be  on  the  Todd-Paronella 
colt  owned  by  R.  C.  Estill,  Lexington.  This  youngster 
is  only  a  yearling  and  is  now  runniDg  in  pasture  but 
trotted  a  quarter  at  a  2:20  gait  before  the  first  of  June. 

A  match  has  at  last  baen  arranged  between  Sweet 
Marie  2:04}  and  her  rival  of  last  season,  Tiverton  2:04}.

on  August  2d.  

H.  R.  Murray,  owner  of  the  Monarchial  Stock  Farm, 
died  recently  at  his  home  in  Canastota,  N.  Y.  Mr.

ters and  pacers.  

George  D'Arcy  of  Dorcester,  Mass.,  has  had  the 
misfortune  to  lose  the  filly  by  Bingen  2:061  out  of 
Bonnets  o' Blue  2:161-  She  was  named  in  all  the 
futurities  and  her  breeding  indicated  that  she  would 
learn  to  trot  some.       

Millard  Sanders  is  evidently  not  a  bit  superstitious 
as  he  has  thirteen  horses  in  his  stable  at  Cleveland, 
all  of  which  are  working  just  to  suit  him.  Tom  Ax- 
worthy 2:08}  has  turned  a  mile  in  2:13}  and  his  two 
younger  Biate-a  have  beaten  2:25. 

A  match  for  $1000  came  off  June  3d,  at  the  Eagle 
track,  Philadelphia,  between  M  J.  Hallahan's  trotting 
mare  Sallie  T.,  and  J.  McPhillips'  pacer  J.  M.  C. 
The  mare  beat  the  gelding  in  2:33},  2:36},  2:34}. 
J.  M.  C.  won  the  second  beat  in  2:35}. 


It  has  been  authoritatively  announced  that  there 
will  be  no  Grand  Circuit  meeting  at  Empire  City  track 
this  year.  This  is  to  be  greatly  regretted  as  the  track 
near  Yonkers  was  a  fine  place  to  race  and  the  meeting 
there  last  year  was  one  of  the  best  down  the  line. 


We  understand  that  tbe  party  who  recently  bought 
the  Prodigal  gelding  Limerick  2:14}  and  took  him 
away  from  Hartford,  Conn.,  gave  hiB  name  t*>  a  Hart- 
ford gentleman  but  was  careful  not  to  mention  his 
initials.  Both  man  and  horse  have  been  lost  in  the 
shuffle  and  it  is  suspected  that  Limerick  may  turn  up 
In  the  slow  classes  down  East  under  another  name. 


The  pacing  stallion  Dick  Wil=on  2:08,  reported  to 
have  died  last  winter,  is  now  said  to  be  on  a  ringing 
tour  down  East  under  the  name  of  Tasberg  and  in 
the  string  of  Bert  Schaefer  of  Coatesville.  Tasberg 
won  a  race  at  Prospect  Park,  a  couple  of  weeks  ago, 
but  since  then  the  horse  and  his  driver  have  left  for 
parts  unknown. 

Walter  M.  Jermyn  of  New  York  has  sold  to  Col.  W. 

C.  Greene  his  entire  stable  of  speedway  and  matinee 
horses,  including  his  wagons,  harness,  etc.,  for  $10  000. 
The  horses  that  changed  owners  were  Mary  Joe  2:19}

D.  Kelly  (1)  2:20|  and  Billings  (2),  trial  2:09|,  by 
Birchwood  2:15.  

When  theannouncement  was  madethat  there  would 
be  no  racing  at  Empire  City  track  this  year,  Secre- 
tary Horatio  N.  Bain,  of  Poughkeepsie,  immediately 
announced  that  his  association  would  hold  a  meeting 
during  the  week  left  open  for  the  Empire  City  track 
and  that  the  stakes  and  purses  would  be  up  to  the 
regulation  Grand  Circuit  calibre. 


J.  E.  Goldberg  of  Detroit  has  sold  to  Vance  Nuckols 
of  Cleveland  the  fast  pacing  gelding  Wayne  King 
2:091  by  Atlantic  King  2:09}.  He  will  be  sent  to  Eng- 
land. Mr.  Goldberg  saw  Pacific  King  by  Diablo  work 
in  2:12}  while  in  Cleveland  and  was  so  impressed  with 
him  that  he  paid  Nuckols  his  price  for  him  and  left 
him  in  the  latter's  hands  to  campaign. 


An  esteemed  contemporary  of  Chicago  must  have  a 
grudge  against  driver  Ben  Walker  when  it  suggests 
him  as  the  "driver"  of  an  air-ship  that  is  being  built 
forC.  B.  Knox,  the  Gelatine  man,  of  Johnstown,  N. 
Y.,  and  that  will  be  used  for  advertising  purposes  at 
tbe  Lewis  &  Clark  Exhibition  at  Portland,  Oregon. 
Isn't  asking  him  to  drive  hoppled  pacers  risk  enough? 


A  correspondent  to  a  Rhode  Island  daily  says:  A 
horse  owned  by  a  Pawtucket  clam-digger  featured  in 
a  head-on  collision  with  a  big  Winton  car  late  Friday 
night,  jumping  into  the  benzine  buggy  and  trying  to 
find  out  which  erank  to  pull  to  make  the  machine  go 
faster.  The  horse  was  removed  from  the  seat  with 
some  difficulty  but  got  to  market  with  his  load  of 
clams.  The  Winton  had  to  lay  up  in  the  middle  of 
the  road.  

Thomas  Lawson's  string  of  horses  from  the  famous 
Dreamwold  Farm  is  located  at  Readville  and  consists 
of  about  fifteen  head.  The  older  horses  are  what  are 
known  among  the  trainers  as  Mr.  Arnold  Lawson's 
matinee  string,  and  include  Boralma  2:07,  and  he  was 
never  looking  better  or  going  better  gaited,  though 
2:27}  is  the  best  mile  he  has  been  required  to  step;

The  $3000  McDowell  stake  for  2:09  trotters  to  be 
decided  at  the  Lexington  meeting  received  twenty- 
one  entries  and  will  bring  together  one  of  the  greatest 
fields  of  trotters  ever  seen  at  the  famous  old  track. 
Redlac,  Angiola,  Tom  Axworthy,  Maxine,  Lisonjero, 
Mas6tto,  George  Muscovite,  John  Taylor,  Direct 
View  and  Judge  Green,  all  with  records  of  2:09  or 
better;  Grace  Bond,  Anaconda,  Bonnie  Russell,  2:10 or 
better;  Country  Jay  2:101;  Zephyr  2:11;  John  Cald- 
well and  Barongale  2:111;  Sonata  2:121;  Choir  Boy 
2:171,  w'to  a  reported  trial  of  2:06,  make  up  the  sensa- 
tional field.  

Isaac  Eckert,  of  Reading,  Pa.,  has  purchased  of 
Guss  Macey,  of  Lexington,  the  trotting  gelding 
Country  Jay  2:10J  and  the  price  reported  was  close  to 
$8000.  This  price  is  rather  a  long  one  considering  the 
fact  that  Country  Jay  has  not  been  raced  for  three 
years  and  was  supposed  to  be  a  hopeleBs  cripple  but 
he  is  training  sound  this  spring  and  last  week  trotted 
in  2:10.  He  is  thought  to  be  one  of  the  fastest  trotters 
in  his  class  and  will  be  entered  extensively  down  East. 
Country  Jay's  last  campaign  was  in  1900  when  he 
won  a  number  of  good  races  down  the  Grand  Circuit 
and  beat  many  of  tbe  best  trotters  with  faster  records 
than  he  had  at  the  time. 


Cultivating  and  Developing  Action. 

While  all  keen  horsemen  insist  that  high   action  is 
natural,  there  exists  no  doubt  that  it  may  be  cultivated. 
The  art  of  developing  action  cannot  be  acquired  all  at 
once.     It  requires  practical  experience,  and  it  is  quite 
possible  that  if  a  man  without  experience  should   at- 
tempt to  do  it,  simply   acting   from   instructions,  he 
might  practically  spoil  horses  that  under  different 
handling  would  have  been   made  good  actors.    The 
peculiarities  of  each  animal  must  be  studied,  and  the 
animal  treated  accordingly.   This  applies  particularly 
to  the  weight  of  shoes  to  be  worn.    Most  horses  act 
better   with   heavy   shoes,   but    some    require    much 
heavier  than  otherB,  and  the  trainer  tnu6t  study  and 
experiment  with  shoes  of  different  weights  in  order 
to  ascertain  just  how  the  subject  should  be  shod,  in 
order  to  enable  him  to  do  his  best.    Then,  again  a 
horse  that  does  not  go  straight  in  front,  that  either 
paddles  or  rolls,  can  be  improyed  by  careful  Bhoeing, 
and  the  trainer  should  understand  these  points,  and 
be  able  to  give  the  shoeing-smith  instructions.     On 
general   principles,  in   order  to  develop   action,  it  is 
necessary  to  shoe   with    rolling  motion   shoes,    both 
fore  and  rear,  and  the  shoes   must  be  of  that  weight 
which  suits  the  individual.    It  is  usually  safer  to  com- 
mence with  a  shoe  of  about  one  pound  weight  in  front, 
twelve  ounces  behind,  and  as  the  animal  becomes  ac- 
customed  to  going,   gradually  increase  the  weight, 
until,  in  some  cases,  nearly  twice  thiB  weight  is  worn. 
Exercise  is  usually  given   on   the  lungeing  reiD,  and 
the  practice  of  exercising  through   deep  straw,  snow 
or  water,  reaching  about  to  the  knees,  causes  him  to 
flex  both  knees  and  hocks,  and  gets  his  feet  high,  and 
at  the  same  time  tends  to  develop  shoulder  and  6tifle 
action,  and  increases  the  length  of  stride.     He  should 
be  given  exercise  twice  daily,  but  should  never  be 
given  sufficient  to  tire   him,  or  cause  what  is  some- 
times called  "leg-weariness,"  as  a  tired  horse  will  not 
act  well.    Trotting  horses  in  a  stream  of  water  about 
the  depth  named  has  given  good  reBultB,  but  where 
this  is  not  convenient  straw  does  well.    Some  recom- 
mend logs  or  other  solid  objects,  but  I  do  not  like  it, 
as  if  the  horse  makes  a  mistake  he  may  bump  his  leg 
sufficiently  hard  to  cause  lameneBS,  and  possibly  have 
a  permanent  blemish.     It  is  claimed   that  if   he   hits 
himself  and  it  hurts,  it  will  cause   him  to  go   higher 
and  not  hit  again,  hut  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  auch 
radical  measures  are  better  untried,  and   that  action 
had   better  be  gradually  developed  in  safer   wsjs. 
When  the  trainer  has  not  the  time  or  the  incline t:<  n 
to  train  the  horses  on  the  line,  but  wants  to  do  the 
training  in  harness,  he  should  get  them  shod  as  stated, 
and  drive  them  with  Liverpool  bits,  with  a  little  curb, 
sufficient  to  cause  the  mouth   to  be  slightly  drawn 
towards  the  breast.     He  should   drive  them  a  little 
twice  daily,  make  them  drive  up  well  at  the  time, 
teach   them   to   walk    well,  and,  when   trotting,  keep 
them  well  in  hand,  and  bearing  slightly  upon  the  bitF, 
and  never,  under  any  circumstances,  drive  far  or  long 
enough  to  tire  them. — Spirit  of  the  West. 

Splan's  New  Way  of  Buying  Horses. 

Writing  from  Lexington  recently  Joe  Markey  has 
the  following  to  Bay: 

John  Splan  has  Bi-Flora,  the  Expedition  mare,  about 
ready  to  go  to  the  races.  She  worked  in  2:13}last  week 
and  did  it  like  it  was  play  for  her.  Splan  likes  her 
very  much,  as  do  all  the  other  trainers.  He  will  race 
her  in  some  of  the  stakes  on  the  Gas  Belt  Circuit  also 
at  Hamline,  Milwaukee  and  Liberty  ville.  Last  Friday 
John  had  a  deal  of  fun  with  Duke,  who  is  training 
some  of  Benyon's  horses.  In  Duke's  buncb  is  a  bay 
trotter  that  is  called  the  Syndicate  horBe  because  of 
being  owned  by  a  group  of  the  boys  working  for 
Benyon.  Duke  offered  to  show  Splan  a  mile  in  2:15 
and  asked  $1500  for  the  steed.  Splan  came  back  with 
a  proposition  to  pay  the  price.  "But,"  said  he,  "for 
every  second  better  than  2:15  he  goes  I  will  give  $250, 
providing  you  will  throw  off  the  same  amount  for 
every  second  slower  than  2:15  he  goes. "  Duke  assented 
and  the  trial  came  off.  Syndicate,  under  a  terrific 
drive,  came  home  riding  on  the  breeching,  all  in,  in 
2:21.  Now  Splan  claims  the  horBe,  Bans  payment. 
There  was  much  amusement  at  Duke's  expense. 


Angle  by  Axtell  2:12,  George  Saunders'  M.  &  M. 
trotter,  is  reported  in  splendid  condition  at  Cleveland. 
The  "knockers"  have  predicted  that  Angle  might  be 
a  very  fast  mare  "and  all  that,"  but  when  Saunders 
came  to  work  her  in  company  she  would  be  erratic 
and  on  ber  bad  behavior.  Up  to  a  few  weeks  ago  she 
was  given  work  by  herself,  but  since  that  time  Saun- 
ders works  her  in  company  with  the  trotting  stallion 
Brownie  Wilton  2:10,  and  to  the  surprise  of  the  wise 
ones  the  mare  has  acted  nicely  up  to  date,  scoring  on 
a  trot  and  stickiDg  to  it  every  foot  of  the  route.  A 
mile  in  2:15}  recently  was  a  mere  jog  for  her,  and 
while  Brownie  Wilton  has  given  every  evidence  of 
being  a  high-clasB  prospect  for  honors  in  the  2:10 
class,  Angle  can  outstep  him  any  spot  or  place  In  the 
mile. 


Germ  Diseases. 


Most  of  tho  troubles  horsemen  experience  with  their  horses 
and  colts  oome  from  germ  diseases  suoh  as  lalluenza,  pinkeye, 
catarrhal  (ever  and  the  various  forms  of  distemper.  Hundreds  of 
horses  die  every  year  from  these  diseases  and  hundreds  of  others 
will  never  recover  from  their  effect.  The  modern  idea  being  that 
these  diseases  are  oaused  by  germs,  a  single  case  may  be  the  cause 
of  thousands  of  other  cases;  and  one  sick  horso  In  a  neighborhood 
may  communicate  tbe  disease  to  all  tho  animals  with  which  they 
oome  In  contact.  Preventive  measutes  should  be  taken  In  all 
cases.  Not  a  case  should  be  allowed  to  develop.  The  majority  of 
developed  cases  leaves  the  animal  weak  In  some  part  of  the  body, 
and  it  is  almost  certainly  doomed  to  a  forlorn  and  blemished  life 
when  the  usual  mode  of  treatm  nt  Is  followed  The  proper  thlnij 
to  do  is  to  eradicate  the  germs  of  disease  from  the  system  by  tho 
administration  of  a  reliable  germ  killer  such  as  Crafts 
Cure,  advertised  elsewhere  In  our  columns.  This  r 
only  safe  reliable  germicide  and  preventive  that  can 
Internal  use.    Its  use  is  recommended  to  all  our  r

some  very  big:  fish  were  caught  in  the  rapids.  The 
trolling-,  up  tbe  lake,  between  theNarrows  and  Cotton- 
wood creek,  seems  to  get  better  as  the  season  advances. 
Ever  ^ince  fishing  commenced  trolling  has  been  ex- 
cellentin  that  water,  and  now  the  fish  taken  are  larger 
and  in  better  condition  than  at  any  time  during  the 
past  five  years.  Last  week  a  party  of  three  took  forty- 
five  pounds  of  trout  on  the  Stewart  spoon  in  less  than 
three  hours,  and  four  other  trout  caught  tipped  the 
scales  at  five  pounds  apiece.  Ernest  Price,  the  popular 
proprietor  of  the  Lakeside  hotel,  and  one  of  the  most 
expert  anglers  in  the  district,  avers  that  he  has  never 
in  his  ten  years'  experience  at  Cowichan  lake,  seen 
such  large  catches  of  big  fish  taken,  day  after  day,  in 
the  Upper  lake.  It  would  seem  that  the  trout,  like 
the  salmon,  have  their  years  of  big  and  little  runs.

THE    PASSING    OF    AN    ANGLER. 

William  Charles  Harris,  who  was  regarded  as  an 
authority  on  fish  and  fishing,  died  June  IS,  in  Bellevue 
Hospital,  New  York.  He  was  78  years  old,  and  up  to 
a  few  weeks  ago  had  contributed  regularly  to  Outing. 

Mr.  Harris,  several  years  ago,  while  on  a  visit  to 
this  State  met  many  of  the  Coast  anglers,  by  whom 
he  will  be  remembered  as  a  most  congenial  sportsman 
and  a  happy  raconteur  of  angling  subjects. 

Harris  served  in  the  Civil  War,  was  taken  prisoner 
at  Balls  Bluff,  and  was  released  after  seven  months' 
confinement  in  Libby  Prison,  and  later  commanded 
Company  H.  of  Gsneral  Raker's  California  brigade. 
He  had  at  various  times  been  editor  and  publisher  of 
Field  and  Afloat,  American  Aiiglerand  Fishing  Gazette. 
He  was  also  editor  of  several  works  on  fish  and  fishing. 
He  leaves  one  son,  Henry  R.,  who  was  interested  in 
the  publication  of  the  Fishing  Gazette.  The  son  re- 
sides at  Mills  Hotel  No.  1,  New  York  City. 


GROVER     CLEVELAND     HAS     "JINED." 

The  California  Anglers'  Association  has  elected  for- 
mer President  Grover  Cleveland  an  honorary  mem- 
ber, and  Mr.  Cleveland  has  accepted  in  a  character- 
istic letter. 

■'This  association,  which  has  for  its  object  the 
encouragement  of  promotion  of  that  spirit  of  good 
fellowship  among  its  members  wh?ch  make  for  their 
mutual  enjoyment  in  their  innocent  and  enchanting 
pastime  made  famous  by  Izaak  Walton,  the  patron 
saint  of  piscatorial  sport,  and  a  cultivation  of  a  true 
and  robust  manhood  which  is  developed  by  outdoor 
life  while  angling  along  the  mountain  streams  that 
run  'limpid  and  laughing'  through  the  valleys  and 
canyons  of  our  beautiful  State,  and  also  the  observance 
and  enforcement  of  tbe  lawsso  neeessary  to  the  propa- 
gation and  preservation  of  the  game  fishes  that  inhabit 
the  waters  of  California,  finds  a  true  champion  in  the 
former  President." 

His  letter  of  acceptance  is  as  follows: 

Princeton,  June  4. 

John  H.  Samrai,  Esq.,  President,  Etc. — Dear  Sir: 
Recent  absence  from  home  and  slight  indisposition 
has  caused  some  confusion  iD  my  correspondence,  and 
I  am  in  doubt  concerning  my  acknowledgement  of 
your  letter  notifying  me  of  my  election  as  an  honorary 
member  of  the  California  Anglers'  Association. 

I  desire  now  to  express  my  sincere  thanks  for  the 
honor  thus  conferred,  and  to  assure  you  of  my  un- 
reserved approval  and  appreciation  of  the  objects  of 
the  organization.     Very  truly  yours, 

Grover  Cleveland. 

Mr.  Cleveland  was  elected  a  member  April  25th  last. 
His  name  was  proposed  by  George  Wentworth  and 
seconded  by  A.  Zankovich  and  Clarence  J.  Ashlin. 


A    PISCINE    TRAGEDY. 

According  to  C.  E.  Barling  of  Bouldin  island,  San 
Joaquin  county,  there  is  a  deplorable  loss  of  game  and 
other  fish,  which  were  swept  into  Bouldin  island  at  the 
time  of  the  breaking  of  the  levee  on  March  21st  last. 
Thousands  of  fish  are  now  dying  there,  and  no  effort 
is  being  made  to  save  them,  nor  can  such  be  at  this 
late  day.  After  the  closing  of  the  break,  some  100  or 
more  tons  of  fish,  it  is  claimed,  were  impounded  over 
an  area  of  land  comprising  6600  acres,  the  water  on 
this  tract  averaging  in  depth  from  1  to  15  feet.  As 
long  as  the  water  kept  at  a  temperature  not  in  excess 
oT  60  degrees  the  fish  thrived  and  spawned.  Fisher- 
men set  their  Dets  and  caught  immense  quantities  of 
stripped  bass,  carp,  catfish  and  other  varieties,  but 
the  beginning  of  the  end  came  when   it   was  decided 

uch  valuable  land  as  Bouldin  island  was  not 
adding  to  the  bounty  of  its  owners  under  a  sheet  of 
water  fostering  thousands  upon  thousands  of  fish.     It 

oided  to  drain  off  tbe  water,  estimated  at   some 

ions  of  gallons,  and  a  pumping  plant  was  in- 
stalled with  a  capacity  of  2,000,000  gallons  per  minute. 
As  the  water  became  lower,  the  thousands  of  fish  ap- 
peared to  be  like  one  huge  moving  mass.     The  area  is 

tout  twenty  acres  in  all,  and  in  this  the  tons  of

Excellent  baskets  were  made  recently,  and 


Ellis  lake,  always  infested  with  catfish  and  carp,  for 
the  reason  that  no  other  variety  of  fish  would  exist  in 
the  sewer  polluted  water,  is  now  in  snape  for  the  black 
bass.  Since  the  installation  of  the  city's  new  sewer 
system  the  like  will  be  immune  from  further  pollution. 

In  consequence,  Hon.  W.  E.  Gerber  of  the  Board  of 
Fish  Commissioners  has  notified  Mayor  Eckhart  that 
the  Commission  is  ready  to  stock  the  lake  with  bass 
fry,  an  offer  which  has  been  accepted  much  to  tbe 
anticipated  joy  of  the  angling  fraternity  of  that 
district. 

SALMON    FISHING. 

Salmon  are  now  running  well  at  both  Capitola  and 
Monterey,  but  no  reports  have  been  received  from 
Santa  Cruz  as  yet.  Many  of  the  prominent  fish  experts 
are  making  weekly  pilgrimages  to  Monterey  and 
Capitola  looking  fcr  salmon.  There  has  been  a  big 
run  on  that  side  of  tbe  bay  and  good  fishing  has  been 
enjoyed  by  those  who  ventured  out.  Salmon  begun 
runniDg  at  Capitola  last  Sunday  in  earnest,  and  a 
number  of  persons  had  good  luck.  Cantaln  Mitchell 
has  his  launch  at  Capitola  and  like  all  the  others  has 
trips  engaged  for  weeks  ahead.  Jack  Rawlings  and 
Jack  Kelley  caugbt  14salmon  together  at  Capitola  last 
Sunday.  Eugene  Prindiville  caught  9  and  O.  A.  Hale 
11  on  the  same  day. 

A  party  composed  of  J.  Cousins  J.  Foley  and  H. 
Morris  of  San  Jose,  and  A.  Korn  and  W."  Morris  of 
this  city,  last  Sunday  made  one  of  the  record  catches 
of  salmon  for  this  seasoo.  Tbe  salmon  caught  ran 
from  8  to  30  pounds  in  weight.  They  used  small 
smelt  for  bait  instead  of  sardines. 

Yellowtail  are  also  much  in  evidence  off  Monterey 
and  serve  as  an  exciting  incidental  to  the  sport  of 
salmon  trolling. 

FLIES     AND     LEADERS. 

Bay  fishing  for  smelt  and  rockfish  has  been  excel- 
lent for  the  past  week.  Big  catches  of  rockfish  have 
been  taken  around  Angel  island,  smelt  have  been 
plentiful  in  the  waters  off  the  west  side   of  Belvidere. 

Two  handline  fishermen  had  a  lively  experience 
off  Bluff  point,  on  the  Marin  shore  of  the  straits,  last 
Sunday.  It  was  low  tide,  and  in  one  of  the  rocky 
pools  of  the  reef  extending  out  from  the  point,  the 
men  in  the  boat  noticed  quite  a  commotion  in  the 
water.  Bting  curious  to  ascertain  the  cause,  they 
approached  the  spot  closer  and  discovered  that  the 
splashing  was  caused  by  a  large  fish.  In  their  eager- 
ness to  make  a  capture  the  boat  was  overturned  and 
both  men  received  a  ducking.  The  fish  was  then 
secured  by  one  of  the  men.  It  was  found  to  be  alarge 
quinnat  salmon  weighing  over  20  pounds,  that  had  in 
some  uaaccountable  manner  become  securely  wedged 
in  between  the  rocks  and  made  a  prisoner  until  tbe 
rockcod  fishers  came  along  and  pulled  tbe  imprisoned 
fiBh  out  and  lugged  it  kicking  and  splashing  to  the 
nearby  beach.  

There  was,  during  the  week,  quite  a  run  of  small 
sized  striped  bass  in  the  San  Pablo  fishing  waters. 

Striped  bass  angling  in  Lake  Merritt  has  improved 
decidedly  during  the  past  week.  A  number  of  good 
sized  fish  have  been  taken,  one  boat  accounted  last 
Sunday  for  17  bass,  most  of  them  3  and  4  pounders 
however. 

Messrs.  Dewar,  Bell,  McGilvary,  Murray,  Reed  and 
Lucas  of  Marysviile  went  to  Butte  slough  two  weeks 
ago  on  a  fishing  expedition  and  caught  twelve  big 
black  bass,  the  largest  weighing  nearly  six  pounds. 
Tbey  also  caugnt  a  few  other  fish.  They  used  spoon 
hooks.  

An  angler  writing  from  Webber  lake  on  the  15th 
inst.  reports  that  good  fishing  was  then  just  beginning 
the  fish  bad  previously  taken  to  the  depths  of  tbe  lake 
by  reason  of  severe  thunder  storms  prevailing.  The 
weather  is  getting  warmer  and  fly  fishing  was  improv- 
ing. For  spoon  fishing  the  Nos.  1  and  0  Stewart  spoons 
were  popular  lures. 

Black  bass  fishing  in  Ballard's  lake  near  Olivette 
station,  has  attracted  much  attention  recently.  Most 
of  the  fish  taken  were  caught  with  a  fly— a  number 
6  book  with  a  large  red  body,  wound  with  gold  tinsel 
and  having  duck  wings,  of  about  the  color  of  the 
wings  on  a  black  gnat  fly.  Within  the  week,  it  is 
stated,  the  fish  began  to  reject  the  fly  and  anglers 
have  had  recourse  to  other  lures. 

Russian  river  continues  to  afford  splendid  bass  fish- 
ing. Reports  from  Duncans  and  the  vicinity  of  Guer- 
nevllle  have  been  so  encouraging  as  toinvite  a  number 
of  rodsters  to  visit  the  river  for  diversion  with  the 
black  bass. 

Mr.  George  Shreve  received  this  week  a  box  of  fine 
large  trout  from  Rev.  Thos.  Filben,  who  is  at  present 
enjoying  the  good  fishing  at  Klamath  Hot  Springs. 


BLACK    BASS    FOB     MARVSVILLE. 

anglers  who  heietofore  have  had  to  go 

to  Feather  river  for  their  sport  with  black  bass,  and 

L hey  catch   betimes,  will,   in  the 

near  future,  do  their  fish.ing  within  the  city  limits,  in 

it  three  or  four  blocks  from  the  business  center 

of  that  thriving  burg. 


The  streams  in  the  Hetch  Hetchy  valley  were  plen- 
tifully stocked  last  year,  in  consequence  the  fishing 
this  season  is  good  enough  to  satisfy  the  most  ardent 
angler.  The  Santa  Fe  road  is  now  in  touch  with  the 
valley,  thus  making  a  trip  easy  and  comfortable  for 
anglers.  This  region  is  practically  virgin  territory 
and  will  no  doubt  soon  become  a  rioted  trout  fishing 
resort.  

Dr.  Ed  Jones,  writing  from  Castella  od  the  20tb, 
states  that  fly-fishing  is  excellent  at  that  point:  he 
caught  nineteen  nice  fish  in  two  hours  on  Tuesday 
morning.  J 

Fly-fishing  on  the  Upper  Sacramento  and  McCloud 
will,  it  is  believed,  coutinue  good  until  the  spawning 
salmon  appear  when  the  trout  will  change  their 
diet— taking  the  substance  instead  of  the  shadow. 


Among  the  anglers  at  Ballards  lake  recently  were: 
Wm.  Street,  Chas.  Breidenstein,  who  caught  sixty 
fish,  weighing  forty  pounds,  last  Saturday.  Jabez 
Swan  and  wife  made  a  three  weeks1  stay  there.  Jack 
Sammi,  wife  and  son  are  now  enjoying  a  three  weeks'

was  a  beauty. 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  organization  to  build  a  club 
house  at  the  lake  some  time  in  the  near  future,  so  that 
the  man  behind  the  gun  and  the  man  at  one  end  of 
the  rod  may  have  proper  quarters  while  in  search  of 
sport  on  the  club's  reserve. 

Hunting  and  fishing  at  the  lake  is  now  strictly  for- 
bidden to  anyone  outside  the  club  who  are  not  guests 
of  members,  and  all  trespassers  will  be  subjected  to 
prosecution  according  to  the  law,

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


CALIFORNIA  DUCK  SHOOTING. 

Hunting  conditions  in  this  State  are  happily 
epitomized  by  an  observing  sportsman  who  says: 

Every  duck  known  to  frequent  the  temperate  zone 
and  all  varieties  of  birds  that  feed  upon  the  waters 
and  their  margins,  of  that  territory,  are  found  in  this 
favored  land.  The  most  numerous  are  the  widgeon, 
teal,  sprig,  gad  well,  canvasback,  redhead,  butterball, 
ruddy,  sawbill,  Mexican  tree  duck,  bluebill,  black- 
jack, cinnamon  teal,  brownhead  or  whistler,  mallard 
and  spoonbill.  These  with  the  curlew,  avocet,  marlin, 
bullhead  plover,  black:  ibis,  yellowleg,  English  or 
Wilson  snipe  and  other  species  of  waterfowl,  make  up 
a  selection  that  can  hardly  be  found  in  any  other 
portion  of  the  United  StateB  not  excepting  the  famous 
hunting  grounds  of  Chespeake  bay  or  the  Everglades 
of  Florida.  The  hunter  here  has  the  advantage  of  a 
delightful'climate  during  the  season  when  the  ice  king 
holds  Atlantic  waters  in  his  grasp,  rendering  ducking 
sport  attended  with  terrible  exposure  instead  of  being 
a  delightful  recreation.  Neither  is  he  confined  to  one 
sport  here,  but  has  the  choice  of  marsh,  tule  or  bay- 
shore  shooting. 

BIG    BASIN    ROAD    OPEN, 

Pleasant  news  to  anglers  and  outing  parties  is  the 
completion  of  the  Big  Basin  State  Park  road  which 
was  opened  to  the  public  last  Sunday.  Under  the 
auspices  of  the  Boulder  Creek  Promotion  Club  a  series 
of  competitive  speed  tests  were  held  between  the  sup- 
porters of  the  old  road  and  the  new. 

Leaving  Governor's  Camp,  in  the  park,  in  automo- 
biles and  carriages  the  supporters  of  the  two  roads 
madly  raced  for  the  finish,  a  line  in  front  of  the  Com- 
mercial Hotel  in  Boulder  Creek.  The  new  road  was 
in  each  case  victorious.  Where  the  trip  formerly  took 
two  and  a  half  hours,  on  the  new  road  it  can  be  made 
in  one  hour  and  ten  minutes.  Undoubtedly  the  new 
road  will  prove  the  favorite  route  to  the  park. 

It  may  be  well  to  mention  here  that  one  of  the 
staunchest  advocates  and  workers  for  the  opening  of 
the  Big  Basin  Park  and  its  advantages  and  pleasant 
attendant  features  has  been  Mr.  W.  W.  Richards  of 
this  city. 

FOLSOM     GUN     AND     ROD     CLUB. 

The  Folsom  Gun  and  Rod  Club  is  now  fully  organized 
with  a  membership  limited  to  twenty,  and  has  elected 
the  following  officers:  president,  Geo.  P.  Gerber; 
secretary  and  treasurer,  P.  C.  Cohn ;  board  of  directors, 
George  Brock,  Wm,  Dormody,  George  Imhoff  and 
Peter  Donnelly;  committee  on  laws  and  regulations, 
Archibald  Yell,  Dr.  G.  C.  Glading,  Charles  Taylor 
and  George  Gerber. 

The  club  has  leased  for  a  term  of  years  the  lake  on 
the  Daily  ranch,  which  is  stocked  with  black  base, 
and  these  fish  will  be  propagated  and  also  protected 
in  accordance  with  the  fish  laws  of  this  State,  in  order 
that  the  members  may  have  good  fishing  during  the 
open  season.  The  club  members  also  expect  to  enjoy 
some  good  duck  hunting  on  the  lake,  but  during  the 
coming  year  but  little  shooting  will  be  done  there  by 
the  members,  and  no  guests  will  be  invited  to  shoot 
there  until  after  a  year  has  passed. 

On  June  1st  a  big  scow,  built  especially  for  the  club, 
was  launched  with  due  ceremony  by  five  members  of 
the  club.  It  was  christened  "Maud,"  and  as  the  com- 
fortable craft  slid  into  the  placid  waters  of  the  lake 
"just  like  a  duck"  a  bottle  of  champagne  was  con- 
sumed by  those  present  in  commemoration  of  the 
event.  That  day  marked  the  opening  of  the  bass 
season  and  the  members  succeeded  in  catching  a   fine 


LIVE    BIRD    DECISION. 

The  Supreme  Court  of  New  Jersey  has  placed  a 
damp  r  on  the  spirits  of  sportsmen  in  rendering  on 
June  12th  a  decision  which  puts  a  ban  on  live  bird 
shooting  in  that  State  and  in  consequence  establishes 
a  precedent  for  similar  action  in  other  States — barring 
the  chance  of  a  favorable  opinion  by  the  higher  tri- 
bunal, the  Court  of  Error  and  Appeals,  to  which 
judicial  body  the  case,  it  is  expected,  will  be  taken  on 
appeal. 

Justice  Fort,  of  the  Supreme  Couit  of  New  Jersey, 
in  an  opinion  rendered  sustained  the  constitutionality 
of  the  act  of  April  12,  1904,  under  which  the  shooting 
of  live  pigeonsfrom  traps  is  prohibited  in  New  Jersey. 
To  test  the  act  two  members  of  the  Riverton  Gun 
Club,  Charles  W.  Davis,  ol  the  Colonnade  Hotel,  Phila- 
delphia, and  Rudolph  F.  Harned,  an  officer  of  the 
club,  each  shot  at  one  pigeon  on  the  club  grounds  and 
were  arrested,  indicted  and  fined  $85  each  and  costs. 
They  appealed  from  the  conviction. 

To  test  every  phase  of  the  law,  Davis  killed  his 
bird,  which  was  shipped  to  a  Boston  market  for  sale 
and  Harned  missed  bis  entirely.  The  court  holds 
that  the  question  of  a  bird  being  killed  or  escaping 
does  not  affect  the  liability  of  the  person  making  of  it 
a  target.  Technical  objections  were  raised  against 
the  act  on  the  ground  that  its  title  was  defective;  but 
the  real  fight  was  upon  the  issue  that  pigeons  are 
property,  and  may  be  disposed  of  by  the  owner  as  he 
sees  fit      On  this  point  the  Supreme  Court  says: 

"It  is  not  a  curtailment  of  the  right  of  property  to 
prevent  a  person  from  using  his  animals  or  fowls  as  a 
target,  whether  to  be  shot  at  for  amusement  or  as  a 
test  of  skill  in  marksmanship.  Under  the  police 
power  the  Legislature  may  prescribe  how  animals 
may  be  killed  by  their  owners,  in  order  that  they  may 
be  used  for  food.  They  may  fix  by  statute  the  time, 
places  and  manner  of  such  killing.  By  limiting  *,he 
method  or  prescribing  the  manner  of  killing,  they  do 
not  infringe  upon  the  rights  of  property  owners." 


NEW    FISB    AND    GASIE    ASSOCIATION. 

The  Alameda  County  Fish  and  Game  Protective 
Association  was  organized  on  the  10th  inst  in  Liver- 
more.  A  meeting  of  Livermore  sportsmen  and  others 
interested  in  protecting  the  fish  and  game  in  Liver- 
more  */allev  and  the  surrounding  mountains  was  held 
in  tne  Sweeney  Opera  House.  Deputy  Fish  Commis- 
sioner W.  R.  Welch  was  present  and  explained  the 
need  of  an  organization  to  aid  the  State  and  county 
authorities  in  enforcing  the  game  law.  An  organiza- 
tion was  effected  on  the  plan  outlined  and  it  was  de 
cided  to  call  it  the  Alameda  County  Fish  and  Game 
Protective  Association,  being  made  more  compre- 
hensive than  at  first  intended  in  order  to  secure  the 
co-operation  of  the  sportsmen  of  other  sections  of  the 
county. 

■  The  Livermore  list  of  membership  started  with 
fifty-five  names.  Mr.  Lee  Wells  reported  a  list  of 
twenty  or  more  eligibles  from  Pleasanton  and  Mr 
A.  W."  Feidler  is  canvassing  for  membership  among 
the  sportsmen  of  Oakland.  By  giving  the  association 
a  coloring  of  county  organization  it  will  wield  more 
influence  while  the  headquarters  will  be  near  to  the 
district  it  is  desired  to  protect.  By-laws  were  adopted 
which  are  uniform  with  those  adopted  by  other  simi- 
lar associations. 

The  following  were  elected  officers  for  the  ensuing 
year:  W.  H.  Wright,  president;  C.  L.  Powell,  vice- 
president;  A.  L.  Henry,  secretary;  H.  B.  Varney, 
treasurer;  trustees,  Thos.  Green,  A.  W.  Fiedler,  T.  E. 
Knox,  H.  W.  Morrill,  John  McGlinchy  together  with 
the  above-named  officers  of  the  association. 

The  movement  has  taken  hold  and  much  enthusiasm 
is  shown  in  the  progressof  the  association  A  meeting 
of  the  trustees  was  held  on  Tuesday  when  it  was 
decided  to  hold  theregularmeetingsof  the  association 
on  the  second  Saturday  of  each  quarter.  The  secre- 
tary was  instructed  to  make  application  to  the  State 
Fish  Commission  for  30,000  young  trout,  which  will 
be  planted  in  the  headwaters  of  the  Arroyo  Valle  and 
the  Arroyo  Mocho,  probably  early  in  August  as  that 
is  the  season  when  mountain  streams  are  stocked. 
Thos.  Green  was  instructed  to  prepare  and  have 
printed  notices,  relative  to  enforcing  the  game  law 
which  will  be  posted  throughout  the  mountains.

A     SOBRANTE    SHACK. 

Charlie  Matthews,  formerly  an  employee  of  the 
California  Powder  Works,  in  company  with  Jack 
Carman,  have  opened  a  hunter's  retreat  at  Sobrante. 
Trap  and  pigeon  shooting  grounds  have  been  fitted 
up,  all  kinds  of  boats  and  fishing  tackle  is  furnished 
to  visitors,  meals  are  cooked  to  order  and  clam  bakes 
prepared  on  short  notice.  The  resort  is  very  highly 
spoken  of  by  those  who  have  paid  it  a  visit,  and  the 
best  treatment  is  assured  all  who  will  favor  the 
retreat  with  a  call.  A  bus  meets  all  trains  that  stop 
at  Giant  station.  _ 

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  Union  Gun  Club  shoot  at  Ingleside,  last  Sun- 
day, the  fourth  .for  t.he  season  of  '05,  was  well

scores  average^ "well^n  all  of  the  events.  A  compari- 
son of  prev.io.us  scores  w^tb  those  given  below  will 
show   a  good  percentage-'  of"  individual  improvement

C,lark,  20  out  of  25. 

'Several  of  these  shooters  are  novices  at  the  traps; 
the  material,  however,  is  good  and  enthusiasm  is 
strong  for  the  development  of  a  n  umber  of  good  shots 


The  Butte  Gun  Club  had  a  successful  trap  shoot  on 
the  13th  inst.  The  attendance  was  large  and  some  of 
the  best  shots  in  Montana  as  well  as  a  squad  of 
Eastern  experts  participated.  Among  them  were 
several  on  their  way  home  from  the  State  meeting  at 
Bozeman.  The  following  scores  were  made  in  the 
various  events  at  25  targets:

The  Sequoia  Gun  Club  of  Guerneville  held  its  bi- 
monthly shoot  on  the  4th  inst.,  and,  despite  the  smad 
attendance  and  newness  of  the  club,  some  excellent 
sport  was  enjoyed  by  those  present  and  very  fair 
scores  were  made.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  In  the  future 
more  of  Guerneville's  shotgun  "experts"  will  take  a 
try  at  the  "birds."  Following  are  the  scores  in  five

DOINGS  IN  DOGEOM. 


POI80NING    OB    STEALING    DOGS. 

The  offer  by  the  San  Francisco  Kennel  Club  of  a 
standing  reward  of  *100  and  $50  for  the  arrest  and 
conviction  respectively  of  a  dog  poisoner  or  a  dog 
thief  in  violation  of  Section  596  and  Sections  484-491 
of  theCalifornia  Penal  Code  applies  only  to  malefactors 
of  the  brand  mentioned  who  are  prosecuted  and 
punished  for  such  violation  of  the  law  within  the 
limits  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  so  we 
are  Informed  this  week  by  Secretary  Fred  P.  Butler. 

STOCKTON    KENNEL    CLUB. 

The  interest  and  enthusiasm  taken  by  the  Stockton 
fpnoiers  in  the  recently  organized  club  and  the  coming 
show  Is  unabated.  An  Important  meeting  of  the  club 
was  held  June  16th  in  the  parlors  of  the  Yosemite 
Hotel.  There  was  a  large  attendance  and  a  number  of 
new  members  were  enrolled,  among  them  fanciers 
hailing  from  different  mountain  towns  and  as  far 
away  as  Sacramento  and  Santa  Rosa.  The  member- 
ship committee  will  compile  lists  of  prospective  mem- 
bers and  secure  as  many  new  signatures  on  the  roll  of 
membership  as  possible.  The  initiation  fee  is  $1  and 
monthly  dues  are  50  cents,  surely  a  strong  induce- 
ment to  join  the  club. 

The  club  proposes  to  offer  a  reward  of  $50  for  the 
arrest  and  conviction  of  dog  thieves  and  poisoners 
who  violate  the  laws  of  the  State  in  itB  immediate 
jurisdiction.  Application  will  be  made  to  the  A.  K. 
C.  for  membership. 

It  is  anticipated  that  a  majority  of  dog  owners  and 
fanciers  in  the  San  Joaquin  valley  counties  will  join 
the  club.  Indications  for  a  very  large  entry  in  the 
coming  show  this  fall  are  most  promising.  The 
Pointer  entries  will  have  a  rousing  Bend-off,  there 
being  at  present  between  60  and  70  of  the  breed  rep- 
resented. The  San  Joaquin  district  is  almost  an  ideal 
Pointer  country — in  fact,  during  the  dove  shooting 
season  a  Pointer  is  about  the  only  dog  that  can  work 
to  the  gun  comfortably  on  a  hot  day  in  the  stubble 
fields.  

A    NOTED    LEASHMAN     UUKK 

E.  H.  Mulcaster,  who  has  been  called  the  "Father 
of  American  Coursing, "  was  found  dead  at  an  early 
hour  this  week  one  morning  at  Union  Coursing  Park. 
He  died  of  natural  causes.  Mulcaster  was  born  in  the 
north  of  England  in  1850.  He  came  of  a  good  old 
family  and  was  a  veterinary  surgeon  by  profession. 

His  father,  who  died  recently,  was  a  famous  cross- 
country rider  and  trained  one  of  the  winners  of  the 
Liverpool  Grand  National.  The  son  also  rode  many 
races  between  the  flags  until  Increasing  weight  kept 
him  on  the  ground. 

He  had  no  equal  as  a  trainer  of  Greyhounds.  When 
he  came  to  America  about  fifteen  years  ago  he  bought 
a  stock  farm  at  Fox  Lake,  Michigan.  He  turned  his 
attention  to  Greyhounds  while  located  in  that  place, 
and  it  waB  his  stock  from  which  developed  the  be6t 
American  strains.  Sir  Robert  Jardine,  an  English 
sportsman,  was  one  of  his  friends.  He  sent  him  the 
Greyhounds  Glenkirk,  Dover,  Gilda,  the  grandam  of 
Roman  Athlete,  and  others  He  won  the  first  Ameri- 
can Waterloo  cup  in  1895  with  Gilkirk,  by  Glenkirk- 
Gilda,  while  his  Greyhound  Diana  was  runner-up. 
When  he  came  to  California  with  a  string  of  hounds 
be  continued  his  successes.  He  won  the  first  John 
Grace  cup  stake  with  Fear  Not,  Klrkglen,  from  his 
kennels,  being  runner-up.  He  bred  and  owned  Hot 
Stuff,  Hadiwist  and  many  otherB.  He  revolutionized 
training  methods  here.  Up  to  the  last  he  was  a  hard 
worker,  being  out  on  the  road  at  daybreak  with 
whatever  dogs  were  under  his  care.  He  was  insepara- 
ble from  hiB  dogs.  Night  or  day  he  never  left  their 
company.  It  was  his  custom  to  sleep  with  his  favor- 
ites, over  whom  he  watched  with  zealous  care. 
James  Sweeney  found  the  pioneer  of  coursing  prone 
upon  the  threshold  of  hiB  pets'  kennels.  Evidently 
he  was  about  to  seek  his  accustomed  abode  with  the 
fleet-footed  hounds  when  hiB  heart  failed  him. 


trainers.  There  are  many  fine  dogs,  literally  going 
to  waste,  in  British  Columbia.  The  amateur  handlers 
there  do  the  best  they  can  and  the  single  professional 
in  B.  C.  cannot  begin  to  handle  25%  of  the  dogs 
offered  him. 

The  grounds  selected  for  the  trials,  September  21st, 
is  most  favorable  territory  for  a  generally  mountain- 
ous country,  being  as  level  as  the  Manitoba  prairies,  and 
is  similar  to  those  grounds,  with  the  exception  that 
the  fences  are  a  bit  numerous.  The  trials  will  be  run 
near  Ladner,  which  is  easily  reached  from  Victoria. 
The  dogs  are  worked  on  Mongolian  pheasants  and 
they  are  at  present  very  plentiful. 

Wm.  Bay  sold  this  week  a  handsome  four  months 
old  Irish  Water  Spaniel  dog  puppy,  by  Ch.  Our 
Chance  out  of  Rowdy  Girl,  to  Will  J.  Golchei'.  The 
puppy  is  unexceptionable  in  breeding  and  should 
turn  out  to  be  a  capable  working  dog.

TRADE  NOTES. 


A    SPLENDID    PAPER. 

The  iBsue  of  Field  and  Fancy  for  June  3rd  is  replete 
with  good  thinge.  The  tid  bit  being  a  history  of  the 
American  Kennel  Club  which  is  full  of  data  of  more 
than  passing  interest  to  the  fancy.  The  biographical 
sketches  and  portraits  of  leading  fanciers  and  breeders, 
and  other  illustrated  matter,  are  worthy  the  attention 
of  everyone  interested  in  dogs.  Taken  as  a  whole  the 
Issue  is  a  creditable  piece  of  kennel  journalistic  enter- 
prise, we  commend  it  to  our  readers. 

PACIFIC    CCAST    TRIALS. 

Indications  are  favorable  for  a  splendid  list  of  Derby 
entries  for  the  stake  to  be  lun  next  January.  The 
kennels  of  MeBSrs.  Tevis,  Terry,  Van  Arsdale  will 
have  a  strong  representation.  J.  W.  Flynn,  will  have 
some  Senator  P.  youngsters  In  the  Pointer  candidates. 
Kenwood  Kennels,  it  is  reported,  will  be  sponsor  for 
some  good  ones.  Genial  "Billy"  Dormer  has  put  in 
good  time  on  his  young  dogs.  In  fact  the  list  of 
sportsmen  who  are  interested  in  the  coming  trials  is  a 
long  and  growing  one. 

Mr.  H.  W.  Keller  of  Santa  Monica  reoently  bred  his 
bitch  Sombra  to  a  grand  young  dog,  Sir  Roderick 
owned  by  John  H.  Schumacher  of  Los  Angeles.  En- 
tries for  the  Derby  close  July  1st. 


The  Millwood  Gun  Club  shoot  at   Mill  Valley  junc- 
lion  tomorrow  should  be  well  attended  by  members 
Bjd   visitors,  this   being   the    only    regular 
burning  bill  of   fare   for  the  day.     The  ground*  nre

BRITISH    COLUMBIA    TRIALS. 

Mr.  H.  S.  Rolston,  Secretary  of  the  British  Colum- 
bia Field  Trials  Club  writes  that  the  entry  this  year 
will  be  much  better  than  heretofore.  Major  J.  M. 
T  lylor  of  Ruthyen,  N.  J.,  will  judge.  The  Major'  is  a 
favorite  with  northern  sportsmen  and  will,  no  doubt, 
driwmany  entries.  Mr.  Thos.  Pllmley  of  Viotoria 
has  judged  the  trials  several  times  and  always  has 
given  entire  satisfaction.  It  is  believed  however  that 
a  new  judge  would  create  more  or  lesB  interest,  par- 
ticularly a  gentleman  of  Major  Taylor' b  standing. 

A  handicap  felt  up  North  Is  the  lack  of  professional

TOOK    'EM    ALL. 

"Facts  are  stubborn  things."  There's  no  denying 
them,  they  are  the  most  potent  evidence.  The  facts 
in  regard  to  the  big  tournament  of  the  Illinois  State 
Sportsmen's  Association,  held  at  Lincoln,  111.,  May 
23d,  24th  and  25th,  are  that,  wi  th  the  exception  of  one, 
every  event,  includihg  the  "Big  State  Event"  for  the 
Board  of  Trade  Diamond  Medal,  value  $750,  by  W.  R. 
(Billy)  Crosby,  and  tho  high  averages,  both  profes- 
sional and  amateur,  were  won  with  Winchester 
"Leader"  shells.  These  are  facts.  What  do  they 
evidence?  That  Winchester  Bhotgun  shells  are  used 
by  the  best  shots,  both  amateur  and  professional,  be- 
cause they  are  always  reliable  and  thus  give  the  best 
results  obtainable.  As  further  evidence  of  this,  the 
Minnesota  State  Championship,  which  was  competed 
for  at  the  tournament  of  the  Minneapolis  Gun  Club, 
May  23rd  and  24th,  was  won  with  the  Winchester 
"Repeater"  shells  and  also  the  high  amateur  average 
for  the  shoot,  the  winners  being  respectively  Mr. 
Evander  and  Mr.  Moulton.  These  important  win- 
nings, made  simultaneously  at  different  places  with 
Winchester  goods,  show  very  plainly  their  popularity 
with  the  best,  and  of  course  the  winning,  shots  and 
explain  why  Winchester  "Leader"  and  Winchester 
"Repeater"  shells  are  called  "The  Shells  the  Cham- 
pions Shoot."  

SOME    SPLENDID    RECORDS    BY    AMATEURS. 

At  the  New  York  State  Shoot  held  at  Utica,  June 
14th,  15th  and  16th,  Mr.  Jay  Greene  of  Avon,  N.  Y., 
shooting  the  Parker  gun,  broke  147  out  of  160,  148  out 
of  160  and  144  out  of  165  for  the  three  days,  making  a 
total  of  438  out  of  485,  and  winning  second  amateur 
high  average.  Mr.  Greene  is  shooting  remarkably 
well  with  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker.  At  the  same 
shoot  J.  R.  Hull,  shooting  and  representing  the  Par- 
ker gun,  broke  150  and  146  respectively,  making  a 
total  of  296  for  the  two  days. 

At  Washington,  D.  C,  first  and  second  high  ama- 
teur averages  were  won  by  Lester  German  and  Wm. 
Wagner,  respectively,  both  shooting  the  Parker  gun. 
At  Shamokin,  Pa.,  on  June  9tb,  R.  C.  Derk  scored 
96%  with  his  Parker,  gun,  breaking  192  out  of  200, 
with  ene  run  of  83  straight  and  99  out  of  his  last  100. 
Fred  Coleman  still  shooting  his  usual  gait,  with  the 
"Old  Reliable"  Parker,  on  June  6th,  at  Florist,  Pa., 
broke  48  out  of  50.  On  June  8th  at  Westchester,  Pa., 
Mr.  Coleman  broke  145  out  of  155.  On  June  10th  at 
Meadow  Spring,  Pa.,  95  out  of  100.  At  Camden,  Ark., 
Mr.  Ed.  Brady,  an  amateur  shooting  the  Parker  gun 
broke  390  out  of  420,  winning  second  high  average. 
Mr.  Brady  is  a  remarkable  Bhooter  for  an  amateur, 
and  these  records  prove  the  reliability  beyond  a  ques- 
tion of  a  doubt,  of  the  Parker  gun.

THE  FARM. 


Is  the  Practice  Right? 


Cross  Breds  as  Feeders. 


Why  mis  slop  for  the  hogs?  It  is  forc- 
ing them  to  take  more  drink  than  they 
need.  You  will  see  them  nose  around  in 
the  ewill  for  the  solids  and  not  drink  the 
liquids  after  they  have  had  a  little.  A 
hog  will  make  a  hog  of  himself  when 
swilled,  says  Kimball's  Dairy  Farmer. 
The  feed  is  in  Buch  a  condition  he  can 
gulp  it  down  without  chewing.  Most 
hogs  have  plenty  of  time  they  don't  have 
to  eat  as  fast  aa  a  man  at  a  railroad  lunch 
counter. 

I've  often  watched  hogs  eat.  They  run 
from  ear  to  ear,  or  carry  one  along  spend- 
ing more  time  trying  to  get  the  whole 
feed  than  in  eating.  When  it  comeB  to 
drink  they  rush  to  the  trough  with  you, 
upsetting  your  dignity  if  you  are  not  care- 
ful, then  pile  up  in  the  trough  where  you 
pour  in  the  water.  After  a  sip  they  are 
off  again  to  the  corn.  You  could  carry  a 
dozen  pails  of  water  to  them  and  they 
would  repeat  the  performance.  If  it  was 
rich  swill  or  milk  they  would  gorge  them- 
selves and  not  leave  a  drop. 

It  Bhowa  that  they  know  enough  to 
quit  when  it  is  only  water  offered.  This 
has  led  me  to  think  that  a  better  way 
could  be  found.  Joseph  E.  Wing  told  at 
the  Amea  short  course  how  he  feeds  his 
hogB  with  a  self  feeder.  Puts  the  grain  in 
there  and  the  water  in  another  place. 
The  hogs  eat  when  they  please  and  as 
much  as  they  pleaae.  They  are  compelled 
to  eat  slowly,  and  chew  the  dry  feed  for 
they  can't  hog  it  down.  He  said  they  did 
not  waste  a  bit.  What  got  rooted  or 
pushed  out  fell  on  the  feeding  platform 
and  was  picked  up. 

I  don't  believe  aour  swill  ia  any  better 
for  hogs  than  sour  soup  is  for  man.  One 
day  sour  and  one  day  sweet  ia  not  right. 
The  sour  swill  barrel  is  a  good  breeding 
place  for  disease  germs.  It  is  little  won- 
der that  the  country  auffera  such  hog 
loasea  each  year  when  we  consider  what 
the  hog  has  to  eat.  Out  in  the  alfalfa 
country  where  grass  and  water  are  the 
hog  feed,  there  is  very  little  loss  of  hogs. 
The  dairyman  who  has  skim-milk  to 
feed  his  hogs,  Bhould  know  that  hia  herd 
of  cows  ia  free  from  tuberculosis.  If  he 
gets  his  milk  from  the  creamery  he  should 
know  it  has  been  pasteurized.  The  hog 
is  an  over-fat  animal  predisposed  to 
disease.  We  need  to  give  more  attention 
to  his  feed  and  shelter.  He  is  naturally  a 
clean  animal  if  he  can  be.  He  will  root 
in  anything,  if  compelled  to  get  his  meals

The  breeding  principles  adopted  by  L. 
H.  Kerrick,  of  Illinois,  the  world  re- 
nowned cattle  feeder,  in  establishing  a 
type  of  Bteer  for  the  most  economical 
beef  production  should  be  adopted  by  the 
breeder  of  other  kinds  of  live  stock,  says 
National  Stockman,  and  then  continues: 
Mr.  Kerrick  said  in  relating  the  story 
of  his  success  at  the  Iowa  State  Institute 
that  when  he  commenced  the  feeding 
business  he  could  not  find  a  breed  of 
cattle  that  produced  a  type  of  steer 
exactly  to  his  liking,  but  he  could  see  all 
of  the  beef  points  in  two  breeds— viz,  the 
Shorthorn  and  the  Angus.  So  he  pro- 
cured a  lot  of  the  best  grade  Shorthorn 
cows  that  he  could  pick  up.  Then  he  got 
an  Ang^a  bull  aa  near  hia  ideal  type  as 
could  be  had.  From  thia  stock  he  pro- 
cured his  feeding  steers,  keeping  the  beBt 
heifers  for  breeding  stock.  In  all  his 
after  breeding  he  used  the  bull  that  was 
nearest  his  ideal  beef  type.  Every  one 
who  baa  kept  in  touch  with  the  great 
cattle  feederB  of  the  country  knows  Mr. 
Kerrick'a  success.  He  commenced  about 
twenty  years  ago  and  waB  successful  from 
the  Btart. 

Waa  not  his  plan  a  Bhorter  and  better 
route  to  success  than  to  have  tried  to  get 
his  type  of  beef  ateer  from  some  breed 
that  did  not  have  the  type  demanded 
except  in  very  rare  and  remote  instances? 
The  fundamental  principles  of  breeding 
are  the  same  wherever  applied.  Rightly 
applied  they  mean  progress,  but  if  not 
they  mean  retrogression  or  at  best  little 
progress.  


cising,  though  confinement  can  only  be 
brief,  or  health  will  finally  suffer.  Skim 
milk  mixed  with  ground  grains  is  a  good 
fattening  ration. 

Dry  bread  crumbs,  mixed  with  one- 
quarter  their  weight  of  raw  egg,  then 
dried  until  not  sticky,  iB  a  fine  food  for 
young  chicks  or  poults. 

If  you  wish  to  build  up  a  good  trade, 
stamp  your  eggs  and  label  your  boxes  of 
carcasses,  that  he  who  eatB  may  know 
their  source.  But  don't  put  your  address 
on  addled  eggs  or  consignments  of  old 
roosters. 

The  man  who  thinks  a  few  mongrels, 
any  old  shed,  a  bag  of  musty  corn,  and  a 
pail  of  stagnant  water,  are  going  to  enrich 
his  farm,  will  get  left. 

Poultry  culture  used  to  be  thought  fit 
for  women  only,  to  make  their  "pin 
money."  But  it  must  be  thought  men'B 
business  now,  so  many  men  are  editing 
poultry  papers.  Anyway,  raising  20th 
century  poultry,  takes  brains,  whether 
masculine  or  feminine. 

Curing  diseased  fowls  is  rarely  worth 
while,  because  they  are  not  likely  to  be 
"as  good  as  new."  They  are  likely  to  be- 
c  me  diseased  again,  and  to  perpeptuate 
the  same  sort  of  sickness    in    their   off-

Show  Ring  Requirements. 

Many  heifers  are  spoiled  while  being 
fitted  for  the  show  ring.  The  high  con- 
ditioning required  to  secure  a  prize  in  any 
of  the  larger  shows  is  too  likely  to  react 
disastrously  and  the  heifer  is  never  the 
same  afterwards. 

Some  judges  are  very  particular  about 
grooming,  show  form  and  sawdust  edu- 
cation. At  the  same  time  judges  know 
that  a  rough,  healthy  heifer  is  more 
valuable  than  a  sickly  pampered  animal 
with  impaired  indigestion. 

Utility  is  the  greatest  possible  value  in 
a  cow.  If  she  has  dairy  form  and  good 
constitution  she  is  better  in  the  rough 
than  a  finely  educated  animal  that 
possesses  leaB  vigor  and  indifferent  stay- 
ing qualities.  Show  ring  conditions  have 
become  so  exacting  that  many  of  the  best 
breeders  refuse  to  fit  heifers  for  competi- 
tion. 

m 

Poultry  Pointers. 

It  is  too  much  to  aBk  a  chick  to  furnish- 
ing enough  blood  for  its  own  growth  and 
that  of  a  colony  of  lice.  Eout  the  ver- 
min and  give  chickie  a  show. 

A  surplus  rooBter  is  an  expensive  orna- 
ment in  the  poultry  yard.  Eat  or  sell  the 
surplus  roosters  before  they  eat  double 
their  value. 

Time  Bpent  in  learning  to  prevent  poul- 
try diseases  will  be  leBs  than  that  spent 
in  trying  to  effect  cures. 

Don't  wait  for  mites  to  appear  before 
beginning  to  fight  them.  Whitewash  the 
house  twice  a  summer,  and  kerosene  the 
perches  every  week  or  two. 

For  confined  chickens  an  excellent 
green  food  is  onion  tops,  chopped  fine  and 
mixed  in  the  mash  twice  a  week. 

A  noted  breeder  says  whenever  be  hears 
much  complaint  of  eggs  not  hatching,  he 
is  pretty  Bure  the  layers  were  roupy  the 
winter  before. 

It  hardly  pays  to  Btarve  chicks  into  eat- 
ing wheat  they  do  not  like.  Cut  it  out  of 
diet,  and  find  other  things. 

The  cost  of  food  to  increase  the  live 
weight  of  chickens  100  lbs.,  is  from  $3  to 
$5  leBS  when  the  birds  are  fed  in  crates, 
than  when  fed  in  yards.  When  a  fowl  is 
at  rest,  and  food  is  turned  into  flesh  in- 
stead of  energy,  it  ia  evident  the  same 
amount  of  food  will  lay  more  weight  on 
the  carcass  than  when  the  fowl  ib  exer- 


spring. 

Whitewashing  poultry  houses  two  or 
three  times  a  year,  with  a  little  carbolic 
acid  and  coal  oil  in  the  wash,  will  largely 
prevent  mites  and  lice.  Let  the  wash  be 
hot  and  thin,  and  put  into  all  cracks. 

The  chick  does  not  come  from  the  shell 
with  grayel  in  its  crop.  Fine  gravel 
should  be  furnished  in  the  shape  of  sharp 
sand  and  powdered  bone. 

Clean  bedding  is  as  necessary  in  duck 
houses,  as  in  stables.  Ducks  will  wash 
their  feet  and  feathers,  if  given  a  chance, 
but  only  clean  bedding  can  keep  a  whole- 
some air  in  their  house. 

A  successful  poultryman  offers  the  fol- 
lowing simple  hints  for  keeping  the  young 
brood  in  health :  Give  clean  water  and 
plenty  of  grit,  feed  a  variety  of  cracked 
and  whole  grains,  mostly  in  a  dry  state ; 
keep  chicks  out  of  the  grass  in  rain  or 
dew. 

Quality  ot  Milk. 


Glood  Feet— Good  Horse 


The  coloring  matter  of  milk  ia  not 
necessarily  associated  with  the  butter 
fat,  bo  that  the  richness  of  color  does  not 
always  indicate  the  proportion  of  butter 
fat.  Without  some  accurate  means,  such 
as  the  Babcock  test,  for  determining  the 
quality  of  the  milk  from  each  a  dairyman 
can  never  be  sure  as  to  which  are  his  best 
and  which  his  poorest  cows.— "Holstein-

The  Art  of  Milking. 

Milk  until  you  set  all  the  milk,  but 
When  you  have  thoroughly  emptied  a 
quarter  leave  it.  Do  not  continue  the 
milking  motion  upon  an  empty  teat.  Do 
not  go  back  to  a  teat  once  you  have  left 
it.  If  you  begin  this  with  a  young  cow 
von  will  make  her  a  slow  or  un 
milker,  one  that  will  never  let  you  know 
when  you  are  done  milking,  one  of  the 
"come  again  and  keep  coming  kind." 

Never  nulk  with  the  thumb  and  finger. 
Never  pull  down  upon  the  teat.  Never 
etrip.  You  get  less  milk.  You  ruin  the 
elasticity  of  the  milk  duct,  and  you  make 
her  a  hard  milker  or  a  "gurgler."  Some 
one  may  say  "strip  'em"  and  "strip  'em 
clean,"  but  this  is  nonsen-e,  and  the 
practice  should  not  be  tolerated,  much 
le.-s  cultivated.  Milk  properly.  Milk 
until  each  quarter  is  emptied,  and  when 
you  get  all  the  milk  quit.  But  your  task 
is  not  done  until  you  have  called  the  cow 
by  name  and  gently  patted  her  side  and 
made  sure  you  have  left  her  in  a  friendly 
mood—  li.  11.  II  l    ibune. 


Roost  Poles  and  Young  Chicks. 

In  raising  the  young  chicks  it  is  a  good 
plan  to  have  no  roost  in  their  brood  coops 
until  tbev  are  at  least  half  grown,  and  do 
not  under  any  circumstanses  allow  them 
to  roost  on  poles.  We  have  in  mind  a 
breeder  who  last  year  made  several  small 
brooder  houses  with  open  wire  fronts,  to 
which  the  chicks  were  removed  after  be- 
ing weaned  by  the  mother.  These  houses 
were  provided  with  roost  poles,  and  as  it 
seems  to  be  the  nature  of  chickens  to 
roost  ae  high  as  possible,  tbey  of  course 
would  roost  on  the  poles.  The  result  was 
that  at  the  show  last  winter  every  one  of 
the  pullets  were  found  to  have  crooked 
breast  bones  and  cut  from  half  to  one 
point  for  this  defect.  Use  plenty  of  clean 
straw  on  tbe  floor  and  do  not  allow  so 
many  in  a  coop  that  they  will  be  crowded.

Dear  Sir: — I  have  a  standard  bred  "Cupid11 
mare  raised  by  Adolph  Spreckels,  the  well-known 
Californian  and  horse  breeder,  and  after  driving 
her  a  few  months  a  bad  spavin  showed  itself.  It 
was  fired  and  blistered  by  a  veterinary  and  tbe 
animal  turned  out  for  three  months.  The  spavin 
was  obstinate  and  the  mare  continued  lame.  I 
used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the-Horse"  and  a  com- 
plete cure  was  the  result. 

Yours,  Geo.  A.  Knight.

Gentlemen:— I  have  cured  sprains,  spavin  and 
shoe  boil  with  "Save-the-Horse."  It  certainly 
proved  marvelcusly  successful  with  me,  and  I  dt 
not  hesitate  in  recommending  it  for  these  ail 
ments.    Yours  truly,

In  regard  to  "Save  the-Horse,1'  I  used  It  with  muoh  success.  The  running 
horse  Col  Roosevelt,  that  had  broken  down  in  training  for  two  or  three  years 
past,  is  now  in  good  shape  and  will  certainly  be  able  to  race  as  well  as  ever 
before.  Have  also  used  -Save-the-Horse  '  on  the  horse  Greyfeld  with  satisfac- 
tory results.  Will  also  add  that  I  have  seen  "Save-the-Horse11  remove  a  deep- 
seated  ringbone  from  a-  Director  trotting  horse  in  Monroe  Salisbury's  stable. 

I  am  pleased  to  be  able  to  recommend  "Save-the-Horse"  from  actual 
experience.    Yours  truly, GEO.  A.  DAVIS. 

Haverstraw,  N.  Y.,  Nov.  22,  1904.    My  colt  had  two  bonespavins.    "Save-the-Horse"  cured  lame- 
ness and  took  off  the  bunches,    Used  two  bottles.

over  a  year.    He  was  not  worth  $10.    I  used  your  '"Save-the-Horse11  and  he  has  gone  sound  ever  since. - 
I  have  driven  him  twenty-five  miles  in  one  day  and  would  not  now  take  $250  for  the  animal
