: The feet ard legs Of horses, says the New
York Herald, require more care than the
rest of the body. They must not be Ak
lowed TO stand in filth and moisture, and
| in grooming horse, the feet and legs
must be as thoroughly brushed and cleaned
| as a coat. A little oil cake meal mixed
with the food will give a glossiness to the
, skin, and leave good effect on the health.
"Anapsack' Mccarthy, who drove the
Midway string of trOtters for Com. Kit,
son the last season, was in the city fer a
couple of days the past week. ''knapsack"
has not fully matured his plan for the
coming season, but that he will be seen
through the circuits with some good horses
is undoubted. He told the GLOBE reporter
| that he had no doubt that being
all right, the stallion Won Arnim and the
! L IL
would reduce their records to below PIG
the coming season.

| stance, 81. G. D., Brownsville, Tenn.,"
| in the last issue asks: "Would
you inform me whether John Splan,
the driver of Rarus, is nsgro!"
| and then he goes on and asks about Gus
Lytton, Murrill Highly and Daniel Mayus
meaning Gus Glidden, Morril Higbee
and Dan Mace-with several more equally
! ridiculous errors. But John Splan, a ne
gro, is the best of all.
"Veritas" in The Spirit gives John Splan
the following handsome send off: 81
learn that 'Knapsack, McCarthy's connec-
ton with Com. N. w. Kittson's stable of
trotters has ceased. 1t is rumored that
John Splan will succeed him. Splan is
fine reinsman, always keeps level head
and has the golden quality of waiting and
winning. He knows the way to get on the
right side of the judges and his brother
drivers. With Mr.. WoOdmansee rs mana
ger, and John rs driver, the extensive Mid
Way string should head the list of winning
stables in 1883.
Among the horse likenesses now adorn-
ing the walls of Com. Kittson's business
Office is one OF the famous old time trot-
thug mare Flora Temple. who died the
property of Mr.. Welch, the former owner
of the Erdenheim stock farm, recently
| purchased by the commodore. The old
mares remains were inferred on Erden-
helm, short distance from the family
house, marble slab appropriately in
scribed. separating the head OF her grave
from that of the great bennington, whose
fame through Parole, Iroquois and others
of his get, have made the name of Erden-
helm as a household word among breeders
and turf patrons the world over.
