The New Orleans Jockey club propose the
novel feature of running some of the races at
their spring meeting, commencing April 10Th,
at night by electric lights.
Mambrino Kate, or. IN. 16 hands, record 2:24,
owned by Nye and Foster, Flint, Mich, is
being logged on the road this winter prepare
tory to engaging in the campaign of 1881.
Since her injury, two years ago, she has pro-
duced FLY by Ira Wilkes, son of Geo Wilkes.
The best yearling record is held by Momsm-
to, 2:56a4; for two years, Fred Crocker, 2;25aa4;

Mr.. VIM. R. Armstrong, Almont, Mich,
has purchased for a Detroit gentleman Wilbur
F., bl. G. 16 hands, foaled 1872, by
Hinsdale Hambletonian, son of Waites
Butcher, record 224115s, and Vulcan,
bl. g. 16 hands, by grandson
of Hills Black Hawk, record 2:25. Both are
snowy horses, move well together, and will
undoubtedly make one of the fastest pole
teams in the country. The price paid for the
horses is not made public, but it is under
stood to be good round sum.
A sixty mile trot came off at Port Hope,
Ont, February 10, for stake purse of $3.50.
The horses were Dolly Warden, owned by MI.
Mackie, Grey Tom, by Mr.. D. Fl. Scott, and
Cattle Hunter, by Mr.. j. Eakins. Dolly Var
den, was out of the race before half the
distance was made, and had to be left on the
road. Cattle Hunter took the lead atthe start
and held it until within about five miles of
changed places with him, and won easily,
showing little distress from his long drive.
Grey Toms time was four hours and fifty
two minutes.
Cole Younger is not entirely lost to fame,
though just now under cloud from beng a
resident of the Minnesota penitentiary, a
trotting horse in Illinois having been named
after him.
Mr. S. Downie, of Owatonna, the success
full importer and largest breeder of Clydesdale
horses in the Stale, has just arrived home
Clydesdales and an English coach horse, the
only one, we believe, in the State. He was a
prize winner in England last year, and is
pronounced by those who have seen him a
grand looking animal.

The current number of Wallace's monthly
contains a fine portrait of Alexander's Abdal-
lab, the sire of Goldsmith Maid, drawn and
engraved from a photograph by Kittredge.
1t shows an animal intensely HambletOnian in
his make up, and is the only picture of that
renowned horse ever furnished the public. 1t
is rare contribution to the horse portraiture
of the day, which will be fully appreciated by
the subscribers of that excellent magazine.

Calamus and Jeanette, full sisters by Swell
CERT, to A. s. Odell, of New York city; price

ness. Mr.. Odel has fine team, and the sale is
boom for Sweigert stock.
