l0neOuS Notes.
Off for Nesc York.
Last evening Commodore N. W. Kittson's
b. S: Won Arnim, 6 years, by Sentinel, record
2:22, was shipped to New York city for the
purpose Of contesting, October 4th, over the
gentlemen's driving association course, Nor
isiana, in the stallion stakes race, 5000 en-
trance, association to add IS 900, for stations
with no better record than 2:20. The horse
will 60 through to his destination by express,
Mr. BENZ. Woodmanses, in charge of Mr..
Kittson's breeding farm and stock, going
along to handle the horse in his preliminary
work and drive him in the race.
The other entries in this race are:
Hambletonian Mambrino, b. h., by Curtis
Hambletonian.
Indianapolis, br. h., by Tattler, son of
Pilot, Jr.
Independence gr. h., son of Campbell's
Young Andrew jackson.
Victor, b. h. by Gen. Knox, son OF Vermont
Hero.
Kentuckian, ch. h., by Balsora.
OF these Won Arnim, Indianapolis and
Hambletonian Mambrino are the only ones
that commenced the present season with a
record better than 2:S0-Von Arnim, 2:22 and
nine heats; Indianapolis, 2:21 and twelve
heats; and HambletOnian, 9:214 and sixteen
heats. Both Won Arnim and Indianapolis
have been in the stud up to within few
weeks, Indianapolis not yet having appeared
in race, we believe, and Won ArnIm in one
only, that at Minneapolis Monday last, when,
on slow track, and being decidedly out of
condition, he won in three heats, in 2:28k
2:33211s, 2:281, making the entire circuit of the
track on false start between the first and
-, ooI I,
wire in each heat in jog.
HambletOnian Mambrino commenced the
season in the Washington and Philadelphia
circuit, and went through the Grand Central
circuit, but has not, SO far as we have been
able to find in the hurried examination we
have been able to give the matterssucceededi in
lowering his record, his best performance that
we find being at Rochester, N. Y, where he
was third to Piedmont and Lucy, being Sec
ond to Piedmont in the third heat, the fastest
in the race, 2:171. At Hartford, Ct, when
Thorne downed Piedmont in three straight
heats in 2:17K, 2:1SK, 2:1S4, he was seventh,
Thorne, Piedmont, Lucy, Voltaire, Emma B.
and Steve Maxwell finishing ahead of him..
Of the other three entries, Victor entered
the 2:30 list at Boston, Kentuckian at
Philadelphia, both this season, while Indepen-
dence still remains outside the charmed cir
Gle.
The first We find of Victor is at Boston,
Mass, June z, where he is entered "H. Wood
ruff's b. b. Victor" in the $40 class, he fin
ishing fifth to Arthur, Portia, Nelly W. and
Gen. Custer, best time 2:28H in heats. His best
performance that we have found was at Hart
ford, Ct, June 80, IN the 234 class, which
he won, taking the first, third and fourth
heats, and beating Blackwood Prince, who
took the second heat, Capitola Furette, Pill
grim and Flora Jefferson. Time 2:4A 2234,
2:24A, 2:2S.
Independence, 80 far as we find, made his
first appearance this season at Detroit, Mich,
June Q, in the 2:34 class, in which he finished
third to Big John ana Alice Taylor, Grand
Sentinel, Hermes, Jim Lane, and Lady MacD.
being behind him. Time 2:29A, 2:27l, 23lK.
His next appearance was at Jackson, Mich,
June 10, in the 2:34 class, where he finished
sixth to Big John, Jerome Eddy, Alice Taylor,
Lady MacD, and Grand Sentinel. Time
2:S24, 2:31X, 2:27, 2:32H. Early in the
season Independence was heralded over the
country as sensational trotter, and he was
largely entered, including the stallion race at
Boston, but we find nothing more of his per-
formances than the two given.
Kentuckian entered the 2:30 list May Z, at
Philadelphia in the 2:32 class, dropping the
first heat to Fritz, the second TO Whitefeld,
and winning the next three. Time, 2:29X,
1901, 2:304, 2:2SK, 2:3OH. May Is, at
Philadelphia, in the 2:3S class, he was beaten
IN an eight heat race, winning the first and
second heats, and standing fourth in the finish,
best time 2:27H in the second heat. At Phil
apelphia, May 26, he appeared in the 2:2S
heats and tie race, beating Fritz ard seven
others. Time, 2:27X, 2:2Sx, 2:2SH, 22S1S,
2:3O%. With these performances he seems to
have been let up. He was piloted in these
races by the famous reinsman, Jack Turner.
The above gives the records and principal
performances of the horses to contest against
Won Arnim, so far as we have been able to
get them in hurried Investigation. lnde-
pendence has done but little, and has not, as
we can find, entered the 2:30 list. Kentuckian
did well in the three races in which we have
fouad him, ard is evidently fast. Victor at
Hartford showed that he possessed high
turn of speed, starting in the 2:S4 class, win
ming the race and getting record of
2:23, his other two winning heats be:
ing but three-quarters of second
slower The capabilities of Won Arnim and
indianapolis have not been shown this year.
The performance of Won Arnim at MinneapO-
lis, however, was sufficient to demonstrate
that, in condition, he will be found capable of
at least equaling his record, 2;22. While Ham
bletonian Mambrfno has not been able to low
er his record of 2:21A, owing to his company
being too fdst for him, his finish second to
Piedmont in 2:17x proves him capable OF
trotting in better than 2:20.
Upon such showing it would be foolish to
speculate as to the result of the race, but with
all coming to the post in good conditions hot
and close race may be looked for, with the
Minnesota representative not far back at the
finish, if not at the front.

Wednesdays cables brought the not unex-
pected intelligence that P. Lorillard's brown
colt Iroquois, by imported bennington, dam
Maggie B. B., by imported Australian, had
crowned his Derby victory by winning in
handsome. style the famous Doncaster st.
Leger, about mile and three-quarters, beat
ing some of the best colts and fillies in Eng
land. The st. Leger issthe Oldest fixed racing
event in the world, having been inaugurated
in 1776 The EPSON Derby, also captured by
roquois, and now the leading turf event in
England, was first run in 1880. In all these
