1927 classes, $3.50 entrance. $3.50 added.
For 2:24 PAGERS, 300 entrance, $500 ad
ded. For the 2:3O, 2:4O and $50 classes,
800 entrance, $500 added, reserving 3d.
500 for specials. This is q new departure in
trotting and we are glad to learn that the
experiment is going to be tried at Chicago.
The Turf does not indicate how the money
is to be divided, but if the principle is to be
carried out and the experiment made on its
merits, there should be but one money,
the second horse saving his
stake only. Thus a race say in
the 1928 class, with Silverton, Will Cody,
Dictator, Deck Wright, Elsie Good, Ethel,
Kate Middleton, Wedgewood and Jersey
Boy as the entries, the stake and added
money would amount to $4,000, from which
taking the stake for the second horse, $3.50,
there would be $1,000 for the first horse, q
sufficient amount to make every owner anxi-
GUS to have his horse at the front.
We are inclined to belief that
the plan, carried out on the one
money principle, will operate to remove one
of the great evils of the trotting turf, jockey
ing to get second or third places, thus secur-
ing enough money to pay expenses and at
the same time save records.
Downie Bros, of Owatonna, have sold
their young Clyde stallion Conqueror, ON
ing four years, to Paine & Baird Bros,
DEBORAH, Iowa, for $4,000 cash. Prince of
the West, probably as fine Clyde as ever
brought into the State, is still retained by
Messrs. Downie Bros for stud purposes at
Owatonna.
One of the firm of Downie Bros, Owa-
tonna, the largest importers in the State, of
Clyde horses, is about visiting Canada on
another purchasing tour.
MIR. J. A. Brown, of Milwaukee, has sold
his pace<to John Splan. As Grown Prince
has paced his mile in PIG he ought to be
made good company for the. "big four"
under Splan's management.
During the year 1879 the eleven regular
horse and mule dealers in st. Paul sold 1850
head, for an aggregate sum in round num-
bers of $4,000. This does not include
sales made for army purposes, but simply
the regular business of our regular dealers.
Maiden, the dam of Parole, bought by
Pierre Lorillard from Mr.. Walch, of Chest
nut Hill, last summer for q good round sum,
died at Rancosas Thursday of last week.
Maiden dropped large bay FLY, by Alarm,
Wednesday, and was getting along finely
until the next day she broke blood vessel
and died.
America scored the first victory of the year
on the English turf, in race at Kempton
Park, Feb. II, where Glen Jorsa, four year
old son of Glenelg and Ulrica, won the Park
Hunters Plate, distance 2 miles on the flat.
Six horses ran unplaced.
Three races are to be run in England this
week, for which representatives of MIR. Lo-
riilard's stable are named. The first of these
events takes place to-day, the Batthyany
Stakes Handicap, about furlongs, at Lin
coin, in which are Wallenstein, 81 lbs, and
Pappoose, SO lbs. Wednesday, the 18th, same
place, the Lincolnshire Handicap, one mile,
will be run, for which Mr.. Lorillard has
named Parole, 126 lbs, Wallenstsin and Sly
Dance, SO lbs. each, and Pappoose, 83 lbs;
and on Friday, the 18th, at Liverpool, for the
Liverpool Spring Cup, mile and quarter,
Parole is in with 13l lbs, Mistake So lbs.,
Sly Dance 90 lbs, and Wallenstein 81 lbs.
All the American horses have been we'll
weighted by the Handicapped, Parole carry
ing the top weight in each instance; but we
shall be disappointed if an American repre-
sentative does not get place in each race,
and bear the LorilIard colors to the front
in one.
Mr.. Keene shipped in the steamer Helvetia,
Saturday, March 9Th, to England, the fol-
lowing horses :-Spendthrift, Lord Murphy,
Bookmaker, Mcdonald, Bran Dance, Gems
box, brother to Springbok; Licentiate, half
brother to Harry Bassett; Bushman, half
brother to Bushwhacker; brother to Wallen-
stein; brother to Madge; chestnut
colt by Monarchist, dam Alala; and
bay colt by King Alfonso, dam
Jamaica; making twelve head. Dan Spar
ling, Milan, and Australian imp. Inverness
filly, named Lady Carolina, remain in this
country. Lord Murphy and Spendthrift
have been nominated for events in the latter
part of May and the first of June, and all of
them at early dates, too short a time, it has
been generally thought, to allow horses to
recover from an ocean passage and become
acclimated. Under these circumstances Mr..
Keene's venture will be watched with unu-
sual interest.
