smuyxler Coming to Maine


Col. Russell, DESTROYS of showing his famous
stallion to the people and breeders of Maine,
has decided to trot him at Portland on Tues
day, Sept -; at Gardiner on Saturday, 10th;
at Bangor on Friday, 22d, and at st. John on
Wednesday, 9th.
The fact that Smuggler won the champion
ship purse for 900 at Boston in 1874, record
ing the fastest stallion time, 2 20, has tor the
last two years placed him at the head of the
stock horses of this country; and since he beat
Goldsmith Maid at Cleveland this season, we
are bound to place him at the front in review
ing all trotting horses. In his first race this
season he made a record of 217; in his second
race 16f; at Rochester, 2.15a, and at Hartford
215f; thus showing better time as he goes on.
Smugger was bred in Ohio, taken to Kansas
when two years old, where he was used for
saddle and farm work till he was six, when he
first began to show the speed which this year
has so astonished the whole country. He is
descended from the fastest running horse this
country has ever produced, American
Eclipse" from whose blood he probably gets
his wonderful lasting qualities.
