The few days of warm weather last week
brought out many of the equine celebri-
ties, which are to contribute largely to our
turf amusements, the coming season. i
have been induced to visit some Of the
stables where I found longer and better
string of trottcrs than were ever before
domiciled in Rutland. The most promi-
nent of which are the following. The
little giant,
TAM osHANTEg,
claims to retain his position as last report
ed, no one having been able 10 pluck the
laurels from his brow, is one of the worlds
wonders and is probable to wear the belt
for the lght-weights to his last repose. AT
DANFoRTH's STABLES
we were first shown the game little mare
RoseY. She is as fine specimen of horse
flesh that ever crossed the score In every
expression of countenance, the fire in her
eye, the dlated -nostril, the swelling vein,
through which courses the rich high blood,
warrant us in predicting for her a brilliant
future. She now has an ice record of 2.20.
In the next box stands Volunteer Belle,
who is of royal parentage and shows good
breeding. Indeed she locks SO blood like
that it seems that it might be wiped off
the silky surface. She is as fine
| q trotter and fleet as fox.
The next animal that merited our
appreciation was the fine black gelding Col
Merrill. He is from Bonner, which is the
confluence of Abdallah and Black Hawk
blood He has tremendous stride and
| rapid stroke, with ample quarters, strong
loins, timber knees, and pluck to the brim.
He will make red hot racer. We next
interviewed Jack Thorn, the property of
General Ripley. He is descended from
Mambrino Patchen, who is full brother TO
Lady Thorn. He can probably boast of a
more illustrious ancestry than any other in
our list. He has large brilliant eye, clean
honey head, oblique shoulders, muscular
quarters, well supplemented with an elias
tic, lofty step when in exercise, but when
put to his speed goes awtuly. Our next
call was at
@. II. L II. W. CHENEY's
stables, where our arrival was announced
by the deep-toned voice of faithful watch
dog, which soon brought out Henry w.
Cheney, who politely conducted us to his
stable where is always found good quail
ity and quantity of horse flesh. Belle Hast
ings was our first choice She is long,
sleek blood-bay, smooth as trout, has
all the machinery requisite and steam
enough to work it in 40, and has already
strong symptoms of great speed. Sleeping
Lucy stands in the next stall and is appar-
emily mapping, dreaming of the large purses
which are to be won or lost, perhaps only
by neck, during her career on the
turfswhen she makes her debut Those hold
ing pools on her will be money in. Wood
stock Morrill,, grandson Of the celebrated
Young Morrill, stands sixteen hands high
has long, loose way of going, and car
show clip that will make fellows hail
stand. Should you ever accept an invita-
ton to take turn around town with Dan
don't fail to take along fine wire seive t
protect your eyes from the shove
/ of sand dust and gravel THAT will fill tn,
air like hail stones in fearful tornado
CANTON BOY,
owned by that prince Of good fellows
Walter c. Landon, is yet in town ant
stands at the head of his class, and is DIES
tined to be a second Gloster. He is owe
sixteen hands high, has a long, low, slash
ing stride, which he repeats rapidly Hi
heavy, strong limbs are as timber and MIN
BILE as fiddle fingers, with endurance tina
knows no fatigue. When he makes hi
circuit around the track the railing post
have the appearance of the teeth on buz
!, saw. At the stable of
- DIR. A. II. HOWARD
can be seen the famous young WhalebonC
He has become convinced that the wor
IS fair play is the jewel, and has quit shui
; fling, skipping, skiving, and running, an
e gone to trotting like ghost. This grei
Is change was accomplished by his wearin
n loaded toe boots forward, with patent elai
/ tic, self-adjusting, reversible shoulde
/ braces, lined with lambs wool, with uppt
e. jaw bit and double overdraw check, tw
u quarter rowls, three knee pads, and
- tiumadiddle. True Blue to be found
70 these quarters, is a perfect pattern OF
1r natural trotter; he shows game, all owe
De never rutiles hair, wears no paraphern
- liza, was honest from a colt, hardy, and
b" reliable and safe to risk your money oil
He will doubtless figure low down in Il
st thirties before another harvest.
