AN OLD TIsIE HORSE.

] The following notes regarding the
famous race-horse Eclipse are publish
ed by the Turf, Field and Farm: The
celebrated English race-horse Eclipse,
foaled April 1, 1894, was one of the
most remarkable animals that ever
struck the turf with his feet Mr..
O'Kelley purchased him for $3,750, and
it is estimated that the horse won for
his owner more than S125,OO0 in gold
cups, vases, and guinea purses. He
lived to the age of twenty-six years,
when he died of the;colic and inflamna-
ton. Mr.. Plumer, a son of Sir ThOs.
Plumer, the former owner of the estate
of Canons, writes: EFThe horse Eclipse
was buried in the park, not far from
what is called the saloon front of the
house, and there was a stone marked
the spot; but in the extensive altera-
ton which my father made, the stone, /
think, got removed, although the spot
where it was was well known to me,
and is known to me now, and / shall be
pleased to offer my services as chRperon
to point it out. The skin of Eclipse
was preserved in the range of stables,
and we'll remember Its Wondering,
dusty, MODIFICATION remains, which i am
ashamed to sag were suffered to decay
and gradually vanish from sight and
memory. The hoof, however, was set
in silver and preserved by my eldest
brother, whose son now has it. The es-
tate of Canons was won by Eclipse for
the equally famous Col. Kelley, of
whom my father bought the place for
100000" Eclipse was sired by Marske,
and his dam was Spiletta, Regulus.
He died at Canons, where he was buried
with almost regal honors. The Chal-
lenge Whip was made from his tail,
and each treasured among his collection
a hoof OF the horse mounted in silver.

A REMARKABLE SPRING.

Silver Spring, Florida, is one of the
greatest curiosities in the South. 1t
bnrsts forth in the midst of the most
fertile portion of the State. It bubbles
up in basin near one hundred feet
deep, and about an acre in extent, send
ing from it deep stream from sixty to
one hundred feet wide, and extending
six or eight miles to the Oclawshs river.
In the spring itselffifty boats may lie at
anchor-quite fleet. The spring thus
forms a natural inland port, to which
three steamers now run regularly from
st. Johns, making close connections
with the ocean steamers at PLATA. The
clearness of the water is truly wonder
full. 1t seems even more transparent
than air. You see in the bottom of the
spring, more than eighty feet below
your boat, the exact form of the small
est pebble. the outline and color of the
leaf that has sunk, and all the prismatic
colors of the rainbow, are reflected.
Large fish swim in it, every scale is Wis
ible, and every movement distinctly
seen. If you go to the spring in a boat.
you see the assures in the rocks from
which the river pours upward like an
inverted cataract.
