1t is reported that the Messrs.

The Turf, Field and Farm notes
editorially that "a corrected sum-
mary of the race for four-year olds
and under at the Stockton fair
shows that Sweetheart won the third
heat in 2:264, not 2:22t, as stated
previously. The best time made
by Romero in this race was 2:264,
which would indicate the track was
not fast for mile. Mr.. Simpson
says, through the California Spirit
of the Times, that he is informed
that Romero trotted q half mile in
l: O7, and he regards him as the
rising stallion of the Pacific coast
He was got by A. W. Richmond, out
of mare by Msmbrino Pilot, and

The trotting race for three-year
old colts and FLIES came of at Naeh-
vile last week and was won by MIR.
George Campbelrs Enfield colt,
driven by Ed. Geers, he winning the
first, third and fourth heats. The
track was very heavy and bad or the
time would have been much faster.
The second heat was won by Mr.. K.
C. Reynolds bay FLY Bronzewood,
by Blackwood Jr., in 2;4S4. The
Enfield colt won the first and fourth
heats in 2:46t and 2:494, We be-
lieve. The other two starters were
distanced the first heat. Bronze
wood showed much greater speed
than the Enfield colt, but owing to
bad breaks, from which she had to
be pulled almost to . walk, the race
was lost to her. A reliable gentle
man tells us that she undoubtedly
showed better than az 80 gait when
trotting square on her feet in some
of the heats. Considering the con-
ditiou of the track, which Is not
very fast at its best, this is first
rate performance for three-year-olds.
Bronzewood is remarkably hand
some filly, large and powerful, and
her way Of going cannot Re excelled
The Eofeld colt broke some, but
was easily brought to a trot again
Both he and Bronzewood are fast
enough to be taken through the
northern circuits next year, and
Mr. Reynolds certainly owns prize
in his beautiful fillV Bronzewood
Who knows but that she will one
day prove a RavensWood or Hard
wood? Mr.. Reynolds was offered
$4,000 for his FLY while the race
was in progress.
