driving horse Dandy Copper, and Temporarily
retlres from the ranks of tho Bold Riders"
Mr.. Thomas Marrett is driving Col. kim.
and his fine black colt Col. butcher together

On Saturday, Nov. LIST, Mr.. p. LorilIord shin
ped to England the two-year olds, Wallenstein,
Mistake and Sly Dance, in charge of Mr.. Sickle
who, since the departure of Mr.. Brown, and
excepting for q short time during the summer
when Mr.. Lorillord was ut the head of affairs,
had charge of the Rancocus stable. It is un-
derstood that MIR. Jacob Pincus will fill tho
position of trainer for the stable next year.
DeGraf & Hopkins, of the Lake Elysian
stock farm. Janesville have made decided
addition to their brood mares, by the purchase
OF Topaz by Alhambra out of Rowing Nellie,
been in the Lake Elysian harem for several
years past, and her produce by Alexander
stamps her as one of the best brood mares in
the country.
Ehle Allen has secured fine mount, and
joined the BOLD Riders" Ehle's mount
comes out of the stable of the Fairmont Hunt,
and Is named Susie A.. She is large brown
bOned and well muscled, feet of foot, stayer.
and jumps like deer. Ehle is to be congrstu
lated upon his good taste in devoting some of
his spare time to the inspiriting and health
giving sport OF gallops across country, and for
MS good fortune In securing 80 fine an animal
upon which to take his initial lessons.
The Pimlico stakes at Baltimore. won bv
Mlntzer, established last year, when it was
won by z: Lorillard's Bayard, years, by Bon
ME Scotland, with fourteen subscribers and
four starters, won in 1861. For the
event this season there were 81 nominations
and Six starters, and was won by Mintzer with
ease in 3:5SI, beating Bayards time seven
seconds. At the commencement Of the pool
selling Mintzer had the call by small odds, but
ne was supplanted by G. L. Lorillord's pair.
Loulamier and Ferida, who sold at the close at
the rate os $4OO to $240 for Mintzer.
Dr. Mintzers magnificent race horse Mintze-
was started IN the two mile heat race at WASH
,ngton, week before last, won by Irish King,
but was drawn after the first heat, in which he
was fourth Duntons Spirit, mentioning the
withdrawal adds that Mintzer s'broke down.
In this statement the Spirit is evidently at
fault, as letter from the doctor, present at
the race and still absent from the city, says his
horse bad the misfortune to pick up stone
with his right fore foot, soon after starting ON
the first mile, which became firmly wedged in
the foot, bruising the frog badly and lamine
him, on account IF which the judges allowed
him to be withdrawn. The injury was only
Temporary, however, the only reminder of it at
the date of the letter being little tenderness
produced by the bruise. Had it not been for
the accident the doctor is confident his horse
would have Won the race, as he was in fine con-
dition.
Dunton's Spirit Of the Turf attempts to be-
little the recent performance of St. Julien by
which he reduced the trotting record of 2:1311{,
Rarus' time, to 2:l2s4, by the claim that horses
can trot faster in California than here, and also
by the assertion that both Rarus and Edwin
Forrest have done better since in the ownership
of MIR. Bonner. The reasons stated are not
sound. In the first place the performances of
Rarus, Goldsmith Maid and other horses who
have visited the Pacific slope, do not sustain
the theory that horses can trot faster in Cali
fornla than in this section, and in the second
place the alleged performances of Rarus and
Forest, in which they made better time than
2:l2M. were private trials, and consequently
not records, while st. Julien's great feat was
for consideration, and is q record. As
stated before, We think Edwin Forrest
can trot full mile in better
time the 2:12sl, but until he or some other
does it, st. Jalian's performance m ust stand as
the besteecord.
