for 5000.
The full brother OF Maud Q. is a large, Ans
colt. He IL likely to prove bay with black
points. He and his famous dam were shown
together at the Lexington fair.
The Fairlawn stations. Almont, Aberdeen
and Happy Medium, the property OF VIM. T.
Withers, near Lexington, KY, have added six
performers to the $50 list and two TO the 2:20
class this season.
Bosionians We're given rare days sport on
Thursday. It is very rarely that three such
events as the great stallion race, double
team trial in 2:23K, and q 6-year-old exhibi-
ton in 216K are crowded into one afternoon.
At Beacon park, Boston, Wednesday last,
William Sargent was detected pulling Tariff
in the 2:32 race, and Dustin was put behind
the horse with instructions to 60 to the front
or expect to be punished. Dustin won one
heat that night and deciding one Friday morn
ing, and Sargent was expelled from all Ma
tional association tracks.
Col. VIM. s. King, Of Minneapolis, has pur-
chased from R. M. Conway, of Virginia, the
inbred Boston mare Topsy, by Planet out of a
mare by Boston. TOpsy has thrown foals by
King Lear, Abd.el- Kader, Margrave, Jr., King
Bolt, aud Wllful (son of Australian and imp.
Pussy, and is now in foal to King Bolt Col.
King paid 5000 for the mare.
The reported sale Of Nutwood to Mr.. Robert
Steele, of Philadelphia, is denied by Mr.. j. W.
Knox, his owner. Mr.. Knox brought the
horse from California, under an understanding
with Mr.. Alexander, of the Woodburn stock
farm, where the horse is to be wintered, and
for whom he will serve thirty mares in the
spring, after which 1t is the present intention
to campaign him.
A telegram received Saturday from Commo-
dore Kittson, announced that he and Mr.. D.
w. Woodmansse would return home Wsdnss-
day. Commodore Kittson's visit this time
was too get look at the famous Nutwood, &,
and if the examination proved satisfactory, to
buy him If he could. As nothing was said in
the telegram Saturday about the purchase
it is to be supposed it has not been made.
Chicago Times: John Turner has bonanza
in Edwin Thorne aud Trinket. The former
was the first to conquer the great Piedmont
this season, having to trot slashing race to
do it, and the latter, after winning through
the circuit, trotted in 2:1614 at Beacon park on
Thursday. She really made mile in ZIG,
but, as the weights were not right, she had to
20 again, with the result given. This is the
best time on record for 6-year-old, except
Maud SIS. There is future for these two.
Last Wednesday noon Col. W. 8. King went
to Chicago, going by the riyerroad. AS he
passed Hastings, where the fair was in pro-
gress, it was raining heavily. Recalling his
own experience the week previous, he natur-
ally sympathized with the fair managers, and
SEEING friend on the platform, the colonel
sent the management his regrets for their
misfortune, and at the same time gave him
the necessary funds for the purchase Of two
tickets to help make up their losses. Verify,
"a fellow feeling makes US wondrous kind." J"
The foul weather of the past two weeks
caused quite severe losses to several of our
Minnesota horsemen, as well as to the several
fair managements. The owners of the side
wheelers, Messrs. Allen, johnson, Hankey and
Brown, were especially unfortunate. Their
engagement at the state fair failed to materl-
alize, owing to rain. They then shipped their
horses across the state to Fargo, only to be
again disappointed from the same cause. It's
rough, boys; but horse racing is mighty un-
certain, especially in rainy weather. Try
again.
Mr.. ]. G. Oswald, of Minneapolis, has q
spirited and gamey young mare in TopseY, by
Shinkles' Hambletonian. She trotted two
closely contested races with Almont Boy at
Hastings during the past week. In The first
race she was defeated by the stallion, he win
ming the fifth and deciding heat by head.
Best time, which was made by Topsey in the
second heat, 2:37. In the next race, whlch
occurred on Saturday last, she beat Almoht
Boy easily in three straight heats in 2:41, 2:S9,
2:3S, on a muddy track, Topsey not being
headed or leaving her feet during the race.
