Runnymede and Blelnheim, price said to be

We regret to learn that the roam gelding,
Frank Fisk, record 2:2S14 the property of N.
w. Kittson, is slightly afflicted with the pre-
vailing influenza, necessitating temporary
easing up in his work. Mr.. Woodinansee,
however, is SO confident he will come around
all right III time, that be will enter him in his
class at Minneapolis, the entries for which
close tonight. We also understand that
Sannie G., record 2:2S, also the property of
Mr.. Kittson, has developed quarter crack,
which will necessitate her Withdrawal from all
turf contests this SEASON. All the other trot-
ting stock at Kittsondale are doing well, as are
the brood animals.
A telegram to The Spirit of the Times, from
j. W. Knox, San Jose, CAL, of
Aug. 3, says: "Will leave for New
York city in ten days with Nutwood."
Nutwood is claimed by his admirers
to be the fastest stallion in the country. His
record at the close of last season was 2:18X,
made at Stockton. CAL, Nov. q, 1879, land we
believe he has not lowered it this season., with
36 heats to his credit better than 2:SO. He Is

ander, Spring Station, KY; got by Belmont,
son of Alexander's Abdallah; dam Miss Rus
sell (dam of Maud s., 2:10A), by Pilot, Jr.,
son of Pilot; ID dam Sally Russell, by Boston,
etc. etc. The bringing of NutwOod this side
the Rockies at this season of the year would
indicate that his owner has determined to win
ter him here-probably near his old blue grass
hcme-in preparation for an active campaign
next season.
;na, Uti
horses in this latitude are afflicted, is equally
prevalent in the East, large number of run
ners and trotters having to be retired from
work in consequence. st. Julien, the noted
son of Volunteer, who so gallantly contested
for the honors of the trotting turf against
Maud s. last season, has been almost lncapa-
citated by it this season, having trotted but
one race since his arrival from California, and
latest advices as to his condition renders it
doubtful if he will be able to appear again
before the season closes. This is not only a
severe disappointment, but a severe loss to his
owners, as he was fully engaged for the sea-
son, and it was confidently believed when
shipped from California that he weuld, as
Maud s. has already done, considerably lower
his record before the curtain dropped on
the years work.
