LAND.


Interesting FuIs'Ory OF Some of the
Nest Celebrated.
Being fond of turf sports and great
lover of that noble animal, the horse. we
have been induced to take an inventory Of
the fancy trotting stock owned in Rutland.
AT the head of tie class stands the little
champion
TAM osuAETEH,
owned BY Messrs. L. +. Cooke and Edward
Guilty. He is so wcll-known that a de
scription seems almost unnecessary, suffice
it to say that judging from his past achieve
ments, he will figure close to thirty the
coming season, yet Ed" sets him low
down in the twenties. He has made 2333
in private. His owners intend entering
him in the great stallion race for $4,000
at Mystic Park in September next, and it
is safe to say that he can outfoot any horse
in the world of his pounds and inches.
Next on the list comes
KnLNGToN
large, powerful brown stallion, the pro-
perry of Messrs. G. H. & II W. Cheney
He makes claim to 2.36. He is a
descendant of n long race of trot-
tiers has long, sweeping stride, which he
repeats rapidly. and when handled by
''Dan." is sure to get there.
Next in order is
GOLDDUsr,
owned by Mr. / Dawlcy. lie is decidedly
the finest specimen of horsellesh ii has been
our good fortune to see in many years. He
is Just approaching manhood, being III his
fifth year, stands close 10 sixteen hands
high, of Il bright rich gold color. from
which he derives his name has a bold
open face, and easy step, performing his
task with apparently no effort. lie was
entered in three races last season, with no
training, winning first money twice and
| second money once. He made the first
half in his third heat in second race in 1;22.
| In his last contest lie distanccd the field
with ease. His owner is confident that he
will show his nose under the wire this sum
mer in forty" or better.
Then comes
CANTON BOY,
owned by w C Landon lie is large
| bored, muscular horse sixteen hands high,
has big, slashing gait, and is possessed OF
great speed and prowess, and intends dis
putting the honors of the turf with Gold
dust.
Next in position is
wHALEBoNE,
the property of d Shippcy. He is horse
of ,pood power, and shows great bursts OF
speed, but is hard to handle will trot fast
when worked down to level gait. His
footing last year was somewhere in the
fifties George claims he has greatly i'm
proved and is going to make it warm for {
thirty-five horse.
Next in order is
GRANGER,
owned by Mr.. L. Dawley; is ceyel
cherry bay, four years old, by Banner, ant
as it is said that Banner never produced any
thing but trotters, it necessarily follows tina
Granger is speedy. lie is in X normal con
dition, but shows, IL long, low. capid stride
stands fifteen two, well backed up witt
strong quarters, with good rTopellin!
power, showing a colt of great promise
; We return again to the stable Of G. II
& II. w. Cheney, where stands
PAT MALoY,
= flying grey gclding, veteran of the turI
| having seen service on some Of the cit
tracks. He goes for them in his ow
f characteristic style, and is commOnl
found at the front, but is sometimes a,
c cused of being skiyer. which is n,
$ tolerated by the rules of the uotting col

breaking out; also chestnut that
II threatened in the same way.
d Our young friend Horace Baxter has
city nag that has formerly kept in ia
# company, that he thinks will make some
,. the country lads sick before the seast
l. closes. He will no doubt leave many
the young aspirants the wrong side t
l. distance flag when he flies past the judy
# stand at a " thirty rate.
"a DIR. Howard, on Grove street has n We
} fine mare in the person of
If LADY wHALFgoSE.
SHE has many good qualities; can st
handy in fifty.
ie She would doubtless be much fast sr h
u, u she-had early advantages, but her dunes
" habits have kept her in the back ground.

Thus far we have noticed only those Il
have already come home. But there
re others yet to come that are equally wort
