-. Lorillard's winnings for the

G. L. Lorillard's winnings for the
last season amounted to $72, 415.
Dwyer Bros. have named the colt
they paid $500 for, Joe Blackburn.
The pacing gelding, Ben Hamil-
ton, record 2:164, has been sold to
Pennsylvania parties for $500.
Colman's Rural World last week
published a cut of the Norman stall
lion, Bayard, that was purchased
last spring by Maj. Stacy and
brought to this place. 1t looks as
natural as life.
DIR. Mcfarland, Lebanon, Tenn,
lost recently the black stallion Hen
ry Mambrino, by Mambrino Chief,
dam Kate, by Tom Crowder. This
stallion was owned for many years
by Maj. Altman, OF Cornersville, and
was a stallion Of considerable merit.
Competent judges say that the
most promising trotting colt in the
state is Blackthorne, a three year
old colt by Blackwood, jr. out Of
the dam of Largesse. Two of the
colts Of this dam have sold for
$11, 800, and Blackthorne will
doubtless sell for a large price
some day.
The great crack colts that Mr..
Swigert has bred have nearly al
ways been the victims or an unfOr
tunate chain of circumstances, For
instance, to take the cases of Baden
Baden, Spendthrift and HindOO. Ba
den Baden was beaten when it was
least expected by McWhirter;
Spendthrift by Falsetto and Hindoo
by Crickmore. 1t will also be re
membered that Mr., Swigert also
bred Kingflsher, and sold him for
an immense price. Enquirer, how
ever, beat him badly at Saratoga
Baden Baden was next beaten by
McWhirter, son Of Enquirer, at
Louisville, for the Clark Stakes,
and Spendthrift was twice beaten
by Falsetto at Saratoga in 1879.
Taken all in all Enquirer is to
day the greatest sire Of racers in the
United States. For the last few
years, it is true, that his colts have
not shown to much advantage. But
how was 1t in 1872 At Louisville
his son Falsetto ran second to Lord
Murphy for the Kentucky Derby,
and won the Clark stakes in the
fastest time that race was eyer run,
we believe. Enquirer's daughter,
Fortuna, won the Louisville cup at
the same meeting, and Blue Eyes,
his son, won the merchants stakes
at the same place in l:554, as fast
time as this race has ever been run
in. Goodnight, another son, won
mile heats, at the same place in fast
time beating a deld IF good aged
horses, while he was himself but
three years old. At st. Louis
Goodnight ran second to Lord Muir
ply for the January stakes. At
Saratoga in the summer Falsetto
won the Travers and Kenner stakes,
beating the best colts in the east. A
match was arranged between the
owner OF Fortuna and the owners
of Bramble for q race at q miles,
and it resulted in the easiest of vic
tories for Fortuna. In 1880 at
Chicago, Blue Eyes won the Gar
den City Cup at that place in 2:5S4,
beating one Of the best fields that
ever started in America The time
made in that race has only been
beaten on one occasion by Spring
box and Preakness, in a .dead heat,
and only equalled by Glenmore
this year. In 1881 but few of his
colts have started In fact, but one
of them, Getaway, has been able to
win scarcely any money at all. This
colt, however, now has the best mile |
and q quarter to his credit ever run.
The reason why Enquirer's colts
have not appeared to move to ad
vantage this year is due more to the |
death of Col Reynolds, the bank
ruptcy of Gen. Buford, and the linn
tied opportunities Of this stallion in |
the stud for the past three years. |
With the opportunities that will be /
his at the Belle Meade farm from
this time on, it will be nothing
more than proper on the part Of his
friends to expect to see him stand |
at the head Of stations as regards |
the amount of money won by their |
colts, before many years.
