The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1881-10-06

Louisville, paid SIS. ZOO for the Cal
iforni1 stallion, NutwOod, last week
Ten Brock took the blue ribbon
as the best thoroughbred stallion at
the Louisville fair last week. Long
fellow took the red ribbon.
Annie W. won the race for 2:2O
horses at Louisville last Friday with
ease in three straight heats. The
time was 2:221, 2:2l, 2:21.
Annie W. won the free-for all trot-
ting race at Louisville, winning the
first, fourth and fifth heats. The
second heat was won by Will Cody,
and the third was a dead heat be-
tween him and Annie W. The fast
est heat was the first, which was won
in 2:23.
The brown gelding John R. was
a. Louisville last week. What his
presence in race means is pretty
well understood by the people OF
this section. His driver, I. H. Lo.
see, did not make play-for position
until the fourth heat, which he won,
as also the fifth. He also finished
first in the sixth heat, but on &C
count of break on the first quar-
ter, he was placed second by the
judges and the heat and race given
to Aldine, that mare having already
won two heats-the first and third.
Columbia Herald: We learn that
Col. d. b Cooper has sold hall in
terest in his splendid young horse.
Ned Hunter, full brother to Matte
Hunter, the celebrated PAGER. He
sold him to Mr.. Bemis, of Chicago,
the former owner of Bonesetter, and
the present owner of Little Brown
jug, the greatest PAGER in the
world. The price paid for the half
interest was one thousand dollars.
Mr.. Bemis will develop all there is
in Ned, and thus make Col. Coop
er's half interest worth more than
his whole interest now. The Colonel
and Ned are both in Chicago.
Somebody las entered into a cal
culation upon the speed of the IA
nous trotter, Maud S. There are,
he says. $3.50 feet in q mile; there
are l3l seconds In 2 minutes and IL
seconds Maud SIS time at Chica-
60 Hence each second of the av-
erage speed of Maud S. in a I'll
mile, represents 40 feet and about
three and two third inches. A
fourth OF this space is not only
comprehensive, but, in match of
two horses, would be decided vic
tory with plenty to spare. If
eye and hand were only able to
work quickly enough, smaller frac-
tions of seconds might obviously be
registered in horse-races, because
even q sixteenth of a second with
Maud S must represent distance
of two and one half feet.
Next year Ed. Geers will bring
out a PAGER, bay gelding by Joe
Bowers, (himself with a pacing rec
ord, if we remember correctly, of
about 2:22), that is more promising
than either Little Brown jug or
Matte Hunter with the same
amount of handling. At louisville
last week when the track was not in
irst-rate condition, and poles had
been laid from the inside of the
track thirty feet towards the center,
he was timed from string to string
on the outside of the track by reIi-
able parties, from one of whom we
receive our information, In 2:212-I
better than $3.50 close to the inside
pole. He Is to start at the Hunts
vile fair next week, we believe. He
could have been bought last fall for
$500 or 5000, but now his value is
among the thousands.
Another great Tennessee PAGER will
be on the books for next year,
should no unforeseen accident befall |
hin.
