The celebrated trotiing stallion Snug
gier appears to be not q whit less speedy
after his season in the stud. BE was given
q brush at Beacon Park, in company with

tice, he made the first quarter quite fast, CON-
pleting it in "a. seconds. He continued
this gait, making the half in 1904, reaching
the three-qusrter pole in 1:44. On the

lion.
Wjlkes Spirit Of the Times SAYS: "A
merry scene took place at Dexter Park on
Friday Of last week. II the 2:40 trot, Cal
Wagner, driven by G.. J. Fuller, won the
first two heats in 2:49a-2:47. In the next
heat he allowed his horse TO be distanced
in 2:565. This was such palpAble fraud
that the judges az once ordered Wagner TO
be placed third, 70 the horror Of the sDecu-
lstOrs. They then ordered Fuller out Of
the sulky, and put in Orrin Dean for the
fourth heat. The result showed they were
right, for Wagner won in a jog in 2:40!.
The crowd were furious, as they hEd it all
fixed for Wagner to be distsnced. Col.
MansUr, Messrs. MollCy and COrbak were
the Judges. Their fearless determination
TO nip fraud in the bud, wherever they fiud
10, will do much to redeem Dexter Park
from the cloud it is now under.

colt, two months old, that has got five we'll
formed legs. He walks on three OF them,
and carries one fore leg up, the other fore
leg branches into two perfect legs, from the
knee down. To add to this curiosity Of
the formation, one hOcf on this twin leg
IS a perfect calfs foot, no frog whatever.
The olheG hcOfs are all perfect. The colt
is in excellent bodily condition, very play
full, and full Of life, and can trOt rapidly.

that the mare was kept in stall for six
months with net calf The calf became
very ugly, and the mare was greatly fright
ened on several occasions, before the owner
killed It. Crowds Of sightseers line the
fence and look at this creature, who seems
to enjoy the sensation created. Here is 3
good chance fO- BanUm
