NEW sIREs AT FARIBAULT.
Mr.. G. A. baltimore, veterinary surgeon,
recently located at Faribault, brings with
him the fine trotting stallion Comet, Dr., and
Clydesdale. Comet, Jr., is by old Comet,Eh
by Herrick and he by d. Hills old Black
Hawk. He is mahogany bay, with one
white foot, large star in forehead, large black
name and tail, weighs 1900 pounds, nine
years old, good carriage and fine movement.
The Clydesdale is dapple brown, with
white stripe in face and two white hind
feet above the fetlocks and little white on
one front foot, stands Ill and weighs, when
in good condition, 1000 lbs, has good
action and shows great bone and muscle.
THE EPSON SPRING MEETING.
The results of the running at the EPSON
spring meeting, England, last week, were
important events, save one, having been al
lowed to go by default so far as the Ameri-
can horses were concerned. The fact that
Parole, Falsetto, Wallenstein. Sly Dance,
Boreas, Nereid, Pappoose, and Mistake, of
Mr.. Lorillard's stable, had accepted for the
events of the week for which they we're eli
gible, and the fine performances of Parole at
Liverpool and Wallenstein at Newmarket
had led to general expectation this side of
the water that one representative of the sta
BILE would start for each race for which nomi-
nations had been accepted, and that one at
least would be landed to the credit of an
American horse. Instead, Parole was the
only horse of the American stable to start
during the week, his appearance being on
Thursday, for the City and Suburban handi-
cap, handsomely won by him last year, but
in which on this occasion he failed to get
place, coming in sixth. with quite moder-
ate field opposed to him. The winner was
Master Kildare, years, by Lord ROLAND,
dam Silk, carrying 1913 pounds, but two
pounds less than Parole, and the same as
given to Falsetto, while Wallenstein was in
with only 81 pounds, to which must be add
ed II pounds impost for his victory at New
market. With this weight Wallenstein should
have been dangerous customer, and that
he was nither started in this or for the
Prince of Wales stakes, run Tuesday, ard
for which he would have carried the same
weight, won by the aged horse
Cradle, with 116 pounds up, is pretty good
evidence that he has gone amiss since his
Newmarket performance. Master Kildare,
winner of the city and suburban, last year
won the Kempton Park handicap. one mile;
the Alexander plate, one mile; the Kempton
Park October handicap, one mile; the Liv
erpool Autumn handicap, about q mile and
half; and the Severn cup, at Shrewsbury,
and was unplaced IN eight other races in
which ne started.
DEATH OF NORTH STAR MAMBRINo.
We see by our Eastern exchanges that
Col. George F. Stevens, lion, N. Y, lately
lost from pneumonia the bay trotting
stallion, North Star Mambrino, foaled in
1860, by Mambrino Chief, dam by Davy
Crockett. North Star Mambrino was form
erly owned in Minneapolis, or sent there by
Col. Stevens, and made his record of 1861,
in race with Star Of the West, if our
memory is not at fault.
THE CHICAGO MEETING.
A slight change in the programme of the
July trotting meeting of the Chicago club
has been made. No. 3, 81. e. Haverly
Stake" open to all horses that have never
trotted better than 2:21, will be trotted Fri
day, July %, and become No. 10 of the pro-
gramme; and No. 10, Armstrong & Bride
Stake" open to all PAGERS, is increased to
5000 entrance, 800 forfeit, with $1,000
added. will be paced on Wednes-
day, July 81, and be known
as No. of the programme. ALI entries
for the stake races, it should be borne in
mind, close Monday, May 3.
THE COMING TRoTTING CAMPAIGN.
The trotting campaign for 1880 will open
in good earnest June 1, and from that date
until the close of the season the flyers will
have plenty of business. AS for several
years past, the real campaign this year COM
mences in Michigan, but unlike any previous
year, horsemen now have double series of
events from which to choose. Heretofore
the associations composing the Great West
ern circuit, in contradistinction to the Great
Eastern circuit, have had comparatively
clear field, but owing to inability
to agree upon dates this year
between Battle Greek and Detroit,
a new circuit has been
formed, called the Michigan Grand
Central circuit commencing the same week
and having the same number of meetings as
the Great Western circuit, the former hang
ing up $56, 400, and the latter $4,000, to
which will be probably added special
events by different associations of the two
circuits. The associations of the Great
Western circuit are Battle Creek, Jackson,
East Saginaw, Michigan, and Toledo, Column
bus and Cincinnati, Ohio, and of the Michi-
gan Grand Central circuit Adrian, Detroit,
Pontiac, Ionia, Grand Rapids, and Fort
Wayne.
BREED FOR PURPOSE.
No horse is scarcer, or commands bet
ter price, than the large, stylish coach or
carriage horse. Every day at our auction
marts We see plain looking, understood ami
mails selling for mere song, notwithstand-
ing that they possess speed all the way from
$50 to $3.50. One of our dealers tells US
that he has orders for matched team that
ne cannot procure, and one that he tried to
buy IN York State they asked So, 500 for.
A correspondent writing from Nashville,
Tennessee, to a New York paper,says:
We hoped to find pair of superior carri-
age horses here, but not a coacher could we
find or hear of in this vicinity. Now this
speaks in stronger language than we can use
in favor of breeding the most profitable
family of horses that can be bred-the
carriage, coach, or park horse. Breed
for speed if you will. but breed to size,
SO that in any event if no trotter, the
saleable carriage horse. We will be met
with the reply that ''such heavy horses are
not the animals for use on our hard macada-
mized pike" very true. Breed IS sagacious-
ly as you may, there will always be sufi-
cient number of understood horses for home
use. In breeding, don't mix up the diff
ferent families.
Breed for purpose. Let the dam AID
sire be good representatives of their class.
