to visit all the famous breeding stables, in
Guiding Ten Brock, the King of the Turf,
and Almont, the most popular sire of trotte1s
in Kentucky, il not in the world to-day. He
says he found Ten Brock looking as fine as
silk, but Almont was rough and dirty, look
ing like some old scrub work horse. The
companion stock of Almont was in the same
unkempt condition, while the stable com
panions Of Ten Brock, and the young stock
were all in the best possible condition, Mr..
Harper giving his horses the best possible
care, while Mr.. Withers seems to pursue q
similar course to that pursued in raising
Iopsey, and let's his stock 'grow'd up'' like
mushrooms.
TIE IOWA CIRCUIT.
The trotting association of Dubuque
Cedar Rapids and Davenport, have united in
the formation of circuit, which ought to be
attractive to owners of fast horses. The
sport commences at Dubuque, June 4, 5 and
6, then to Cedar Rapids,
June II to II, and winding
up at Davenport June 18th, 10Th and goth,
The purses aggregate ,OOO-Dubuque
SIS 900; Cedar Rapids, $4 ,1OO, and Davenport
$500. Entries for Dubuque close Monday
May 9th, Cedar Rapids, Monday, June Sd,
and Davenport Monday, June 10th.
The Cedar Rapids association, of which
Mr.. A. G. Hancock, the northwestern agent
and correspondent, is secretary, has estab-
iished a rule which is worthy the considera-
ton of other associations-that of depositine
the amount of their purses in bank upon the
announcement of the races, subject to call
on the determination of the race. By the
way, speaking of Mr.. Hancock, he is still ir
st. Paul, and is securing large list
for the most excellent sporting, he repre-.
sents, all old subscribers being retained and
many new names added.
THE TEN BROCK Mo1L1E MCCARTHY RACE.
This great event is already attracting much
attention among horsemen, and speculations
as TO the result are freely INDUCED in. Natur
ally, all horsemen concede that from the long
lucky, and the change of climate, ETC., thai
vantages. Still, CaJifornians are very conf
dent that the mare will be able to vanquist
the great king of the turf. This
confident feeling on the part
Of Californians is we'll expressed by prom
inent California horseman in letter tc
Wakes Spirit, from which we extract:
''In the first place, Mollie McCarty, since
she was two years old, has never been out OF
racing form, and is as fit to-day to run four
mile heats, as she will be on July 4. The
mare has been tried at all distances, and has
unquestionably run one and two miles faster
| than tho Hap ~
hackers believe that her indomitable game
and speed will enable her to vanquish Ter
Bre.ck. or any other living horse, in race
of four-mile heats. No horse possesses
more speed than she does, she loves com
pany, and shows her greatest excellence wher
she has something to run with her. Not
withstanding she has been kept constantly
in form for the past three years, she is as
sound, and her legs look as we'll, as when 6
yearling.
In my opinion, the journey of four days
and half from San Francisco to Omaha, is
easier on horse than the one days ride
from Omaha to Chicago. The Pacific roads
| are exceedingly smooth, and the rate OF
speed about twenty miles an hour. In ca,
like Doble's, which has been chartered fol
| the trip, it is almost like being in box
stall at home. On her journey eastward,
the mare will rest two days each at Ogden
and Omaha. No amount of money, nor any
| kind of argument, can convince Californians
! that Mollie Mccarthy cannot beat Ten
Brock. They pay no attention to the lat
ter's trials. Knowing that the mare has as
much speed as he has, they firmly believe
| that she can run hin, to stand-still inside
| of two miles and a half, but if by any posi-
bility he should win the first heat, they will
still believe she will beat him the race. They
| consider only his performances with Other
| horses, such as Aristides. and then compare
them to Mollie's, and they know she has al
ways won her races in q canter.''
Per contra, all Kentuckians believe thai
| len Brock will have walk away, as it were
and talk of nothing less than odds of two
to one in favor of their favorite, which Mr.
| Harper, the owner, is reported to have sale
to California gentleman: "Write to your
California friends that the distance from
San Francisco to Louisville is very great
| and the walking difficult; that when they
start East to back Nellie McCarty, to buy
round-trip tickets in advance; and, further
| that we want al. the daddy dollars they have
to spare.' It is more than probable tina
| both parties are altogether too confident, ant
| that when the last mile of the last heat is
being run, that both would give consider
| able sum of money to know for certaint,
| which of the two horses would really sticl
his nose under the wire first.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Smuggler having become hopelessly LAM
at least for the present season, will go int
the stud at Cynthiana, Ky. The result o
his services will be watched with interest.
The Chicago Times announces that it i
not probable the horsemen of that city vii
do anything this season in the direction o
building new track, in hopes, however, o
inducing the horsemen to give meeting
here during the summer or fall, it is pro
posed to fence in the Central park track
prepare the course, and make other suitable
arrangements.
There are forty eight horses now in train
ing at Nashville, and it is believed that owe
one hundred will be present at the comm,
spring meeting.
