Miscellaneous Notes.
Among the many horses owned by DR..
Mintzer, he has two thoroughbred racers
which he is fitting, and if their present
promise is fulfilled they will be heard of in
some of the running races of the Northweet
during the season. They are Garry Owens,
years old, by imp. Glenelg and Paralee by
Hiawatha out of Boquet. Garry Owens is
one of the best bred horses in the country,
and in his two year old form he was marked
as tie prime favorite for the
events for which he was named that season.
Unfortunately he broke down in training,
W. believe, and has never since been entire
ly sat himself" though the doctor now be-
leves he has built him up as good as new,
and that when he faces the starter he will
be in condition to force the running from
wire to wire, or further if SO nominated in
the racing bond. If the DOCTORS anticipa
tions should prove we'll founded, the horse
that beats him will have to be feety.
Col. Griggs is roading Billy Barber, and of
course takes the dust from no one on the
road.
MIR. VIM. 81. Veazie, of the firm of Walk
or, Judd & Veazie, Marine Mills, will proba-
bly, take in the Illinois and Michigan circuits
with his horse, Capt. Herol, and if reports
are true he will make very lively racket for
horses in his classes. Capt. Herod is eligi-
BILE to 800 minute race, but it is conf
IDENTIFY reported can trot below thirty, and do
| it sjust SO easy" The firm are also owners
of some other good trotting stock, which
will probably be heard from in the near fu-
ture. Among them is a Tramp colt,
years old, called Viator, and
a three year oil Alexander
colt, who can cover a mile close to 2:5O. 1t
would not be surprising if both these colts
would make their turf advent in the breed
ers' stakes trots of the Minnesota circuit.
John Splan, now in San Francisco, will
have in his string this season the great
Rarus, said to be faster than ever, Control
Ter. the great twenty mile horse, Col. Lewis,
Adelaide, the wonderful little mare, Calmar
and Sweetzer, the PAGER, 2:14119. grand
string, to be sure.
| "A NOIED EfGNAs
Horsemen throughout the country will be
pleased to hear that the long and brilliant
turf career of Goldsmith Maid, queen Of
the turf, has been supplemented, at the ripe
age of 81 years, by dropping colt foal
sound, strong and promising. A telegram
of the 4th from New York, announces tht
event as follows:
New YORK, April 4.-Last Tuesday, the cele
brated trotting mare, Goldsmith Maid, whos
record of 214 is surpassed only by the 2:l3A
of Rarus gave birth to bay colt foal, the sir
being the young stallion Gen. WASHINGTON h
by Gen. Knox, out of Lady Thorne (record
, 2:l8A), by Membrino Chief. Gen. Knox is tn
sire Of Lady Maud, record 2:l8; so that it viii
be seen that the Maids foal has rich inherit
ance of both trotting blood and instinct. o.
being asked concerning the youngster to-day
it's owner, H. N. Smith, said: ''The colt i
} alive and we'll. It is the strongest foal eve
: saw; perfect in form. If it does not make
8 trotter shall be greatly surprised"
