Gen. w. G. Harding, of Nash
vile, paid $610 for a three year old
FLY at the McGrath sale last week.
Up in Kentucky they say that
the stallion Mambrino King is 1.-THE
most perfect specimen of his kind

Mccarthy, the driver of Little
Brown jug. Bonesetter, Silverton
and other celebrated goers, will
train and drive Hardwood hereafter.
Eighty stations, all from Scot
land. except six Normans, were
landed in New York Wednesday.
They were imported by Ohio breed
ers.
1t is thought that the coming
fall meeting of the Nashville Blood
Horse Association will be the most
interesting ever held by that insti-
tuition.
The Spirit of the Times says that
Daniel Lambert now has as many
representatives in the $3.50 list as
Volunteer. This is a great deal r.

oapt. N. Kennedy, Of Live Oak
county, Texas, was trying to sell
his ranch and stock recently for
81 800. 900. Competent judges say
the farm and stock would be cheap
even at that price.
Scott's Thomas does not seem to
amount to much this year. Last
Wednesday he failed to secure even
fourth money in the 2:2O class race
at Cleveland. Ohio. VIM. H. won
in straight heats.
just before the trotting horse
TroubsGour broke down, it is said
his owner was offered $4,000 for
him. How uncertain a piece of
property is hcrsefesh! Ed. Geers
need have no more fears of him.
Mr.. Knox, the owner of the Cali
fornia stallion, Nutwood, denies
that be has sold him to eastern par
ties for 81, 900, as reported. He
says, however, that the offer was
made for him. He intends to send
him to Kentucky next year for stud
service.
Dryer Bros great colt Hindoo
met his match on Wednesday last
In race of Il miles between him
and Gov. Bowie's colt Crickmore,
and G. Lorillard's f1lly Aella, Hin
doc finished last. The time made
by Crickmore was 1904, the best
ever made by a three-year-old at
the distance.
II horse-buyers would wait till
next spring to buy their horses
they will get them almost 'sdirt
Cheap for the simple reason that
they will be low in order and not in
proper condition for their owners to
expect to realize any great prices
for them. If these same horses
thus bought were then carried to
some locality where feed is plenti.
full and cheap and placed in first
rate order, and then offered for sale
in some good koyse market, the ira

upon his money thus invested. He
would also be saved the expense of
feeding them through the winter
The sale OF the stock of the late
II. p. McGrath came off last Satur-
day, The two celebrated race hors
es and stations Tom Bowling and
Aristides were sold. Tom Bowling
brought $3.50, and Arlstides $1,000.
Several Lexington mares were sold,
and they all brought good prices
A IA year-old mare, Susan Ann, by
Lexington, was bought by Pierre
Lorillard for $4,000. Another mare
also sold for over $4,000. Several
other mares sold for from $500 to
$4,000. 1t is hard to see the rea-
son why such a stallion az Tom
Bowling should be let off for as
little ss $3.50. The entire sale
must have amounted TO near $40, 900
Up to last Saturday the receipts
OF cattle in Louisville continued fair
and there were more of the kind OF
fered than was wanted. Real first
class beeves are rarely ever seen in
that market now. The bulk of the
beat butchers stock offered sold at
q to SIC, and strictly choice stock
ranged some higher, at 81 to 4c.
Louisville just now is a bad place
for poor cattle, but real first-class
5eeves will command a good price
there. There has also been a heavy
supply of habitat hogs, and the
price for such is rapidly on the de-
cline, they being worth only from
CATS to $3.50. Well fatted grades
are scarce and they remain firm and
active at Sc TO $6.40. Sheep have
been In fair supply and best grades
have found ready sales q. low pn
ces. Poor sheep can scarcely be
disposed of at all. Lambs are most
wanted and sell for SO to $4.25.
There can be no improvement IN
any branch OF the live stock market
at that place until general and thor
ough rains are had,
The Co9rier-Journal, speaking of
the Marshall county PAGER, Little
Brown jug, says: "But the direc
tory of the Louisville fair seem de-,
termined to leave nothing undone
that can possibly be done to make
the opening event imposing beyond
precedent, and so they have Sc
cured for the occasion what, next
TO Maud S., is certainly the stepping
wonder of the day, The reference
is to LATHE Brown jug, the fastest
of all the PAGERS. This phenome-
nal specimen Of the horse kind, af-
ter much negotiating, has finally
been definitely secured. Last Sat
urday the dispatch came settling it
that he will pace at Louisville on
the second day of the fair, Sept !

time, and though his record is al |
