Milton Young will have but two
of his horses at Nashville this weel
l-Bootjack and Lost Cause.
The fall meeting of the Nashville
Blood Horse Association commenced
last Tuesday and will continue foul
days.
Ed. Geers arrived at his home in
Columbia last week with his stable
from Louisville. He won 81, 200 al
that place with Annie w.
Phil Thompson, the celebrated
trotting three year old colt, with the
best record ever made by colt that
age, only trotted in PAP at Lexing-
ton, KY, last week.
The race for the three-year- old
Blackwoods is to come off in Nash
vile next week, we believe. There
will doubtless be a large field of
starters, and the winner will be diff
cult to pick.
Courier Journal: "Green Morris
left with his stable for Baltimore
yesterday. He says there isn't
enough money at Nashville" Yes;
and more especially when Milton
Young is there with Bootjack.
The great American Stallion
Stakes at Louisville have been won
three times by Bonnie Scotland
colts. In 1878 by Bramble, 1880 by
Luke Blackburn; in 1881 by Boot
jack. In 1879 they were won by
Irish King, son of Longfellow.
Jas. R. Keene's three year old
colt, Foxhall, won the Czarewitch
stakes in England last Tuesday,
beating 10 other colts. Over $4,000
900 was won by Americans on the
race, and his owner himself pock-
eted upward of 100000.
The Kansas City Commercial In
dicator was recently informed bya
prominent breeder of Short horns in
Massachusetts that Short horn cows
in the east were taking the lead as
dairy cattle. Recent tests made in
Massachusetts, between Short-horn
and Jersey cows, in the matter of
milk production, were decided in
favor Of the Short horns. The
breeders of the east
are active and not disposed to yield
the palm to the Jerseys as mixers"
The st. Louis Journal of Agricul
ture and Farmer notes that ''the |
Chicago Fair Association offered a |
sweepstakes prize of $500 and gold |
medal for the best herd of cattle of
the beef breeds. The Short-horns |
won the beef ring and the Jerseys
in the dairy ring. But again were
the two beef herds brought face to
face in competition. For the best
bull of any age, beef breed, the as
ISOLATION offered a first premium of |
a grand gold medal, and the same
Tor the best COW; both were won by
,he Short-horns.
And so they tell it that in New
Hork "the talk of the town is the
coming race between st. Julien and
rrinket. 1t will be trotted at the
5entlemen's Driving Park Saturday,
October Is, and the word in the first
leat will be given at o'clock. Mr..
Shaw and Mr.. Hickok are in earnest,
md each believes that he will win.
st. Julien has turned the track in
,:154, which shows that he is fast
becoming his old self again. If
Crinket can split the heats on him
he will worry him greatly. If the
lay is good the winner will trot in
':13 or better"
Mr.. Thos. M. Spoford returned
asst week from Syracuse, New York,
where he had made several pur-
bases of fine stock. We learn that
lie intends breeding both horses and
attic on large scale at his farm in ,
his county. The most important
purchase was that of the pure bred
Clydesdale stallion, Brown !
ilencer, imported by Messrs. ,
'miths and Powell, of Syracuse, n.
Z. He is horse of colossal size,
over 1000 pounds. He =
ost Mr.. Spoford the round sum of
1000 and freights from Syracuse.
lie also bought from the same
arties the bay mare Birdie, pure C
red Clydesdale, that is said to be a
lagnifcent specimen of the breed
lie also bought from the same par l

iessrs. Smiths & Powell, and is one
f the original bulls with which they
FUNDED their present magnificent
erd. He is the best bull of this
Decies ever brought to the state of
ennessee. The COWS are as follows:

poford upon the wise selections II
