at Mobile. He says that his chestnut col
by Jack Malone, out OfSea Breeze, by imp
| Albion, that he ran at Baltimore last fall
has grown and improved greatly. He is now
1913 high, and big as any colt we ever saw
in proportion. Maj. Bacon says that he

May with this colt, Corsican, and one Oh
down, he viii show us a rdce-hOTSe in this
| colt.
Mr.. Babcock, expects to commence work
with Helmbold again. We hope so, but
scarcely dare believe it.
The following stables are at Mobile: Maj
| T. G. Bacon's, Capt. G. 7. MOOre's, w. r.
Babcock's, Capt. w. II. WilliamsOn's, and
Capt. VIM. Cottrirs. Capt. Cottrill has
seven or eight up, but we regret to heal
| that Frank Ross has thrown out a curb
Capt. Williamson has three in training.
Col. S. D. Bruce, of the Turf, Field and
! Farm, acknowledges his many obligations
| to various parties South and West for con-
tributions 10 the 'American Stud Book
the former for pedigrees of early imported
horses and their immediate progeny; many
of which have never been published; and
the latter for description of their stock, with
correct lists of their foals. Every breeder,
owner and turfman in the country is more
or less interested in the matter contained
in the "American Stud Book" and where
there is a common interest involved, there
should be no lack of interest on the part of
a certain few, who are backward in furnish
ing important information on the subject
of pedigrees.
1t is a reasonable hypothesis that no up
right, square man will withhold any infor-
nation appertaining to his stock, or refuse
to furnish the pedigrees of any Of their
progenitors. The inference is therefore
conclusive, that those who decline to fur
nish this information are governed by III
terror considerations. And yet they are
often the very persons who discover Omis-
sions and imperfections, which they have it
in their power to remedy. We mean no
offense to any, and simply give place to
Col. Bruce's request that all Tight-minded
breeders and owners of stock will see the
propriety of furnishing every information
in regard to the pedigrees and produce of
the stock they control. 1t is quite important
that the color, sex, breeders name, and time
of fOaling, should accompany all pedigrees

state of forwardness, and rapidly adyanc-

The METAIRIE.-A few DAYS since we re-
ceived letter from the Secretary of the
Metairie Club, New Orleans, Mr.. Vim. NJ.
Conner, from which we extract the fellow
ing highly interesting items: "The prospect
for the Spring meeting is tattering in the
extreme. NJ. Sanford's b: rses are doing
well. Gen. Buford has arrived with six,
viz: Nellie Gray, Hollywood, Malta, Rapi-
dita, Minus and BOmbshell. We are look
ing for Swigert every day; his string viii
comprise Pilgrim, Morlacchi, StockWood,
Marguerite, Shylock, and two others.
will give you a list of the horses at the Ne
tairie in training. Gen. BufOrd's six

Cottrill, Bacon, Babcock, Stone and VIII
hanson"
We find in the TInJ, Field and Farm, an
extrac. from the Fdr1nerS' Home journal
relative to the Lee Paul case. About that,
we have only to say that every one on the
track when Bob Shelton was distanced and
Lee Paul disgraced, fully approved, with an
unequaled huzza, the conduct of the Presi-
deI.t of the Nashville Blood Horse AssOcia-
ton. To his honor, be it said, without con-
sultation with him, that we have never yet
heard whisper of discomfort by any MEM
Der of the Association at his conduct and
decission-indeed, nothing but universal
applause at his Jacksonian conduct in TAX
ing the bull by the. horns, and standing
firmly by right and justice.
