under the highest weight ever carried to
the front in the Cesarewitch.
The prices paid for yearlings in Eng
land this season are very high. A yearling
by Hampton. out of Loeb Garry, for 1850
guineas; yearling by Strathconan
brought !, 100 guineas, while one of Rosi-
crutian fetched 800 guineas. The stallion
/. ST. athconan is the sire of Commodore
!; Kittson's mare Dorothy Vernon, that will
form one of his lot to be disposed of at
public sale at the American Horse ex-
change, New York city, the goth.
The Louisville Courier Journal of re
cent date said ''the mare Annie S., who
! won the four-year-old stakes at the Chica-
go Horse fair, is said to be none other
; than the mare Stirlette, foaled 1877. by
Almont, dam Blanche Star, by Conklin's
American Star, therefore a fve-year-old. ~
The Spirit is inclined to think that the
statement of the Louisville paper is cor
rect, and calls for an investigation into the
imposition.
At the recent trotting meeting at the
Austrian capital, Sept. IL, 20 and "a, the
| novelty of mile heat races was introduced
and DIR. Carver's American stallion. Cupid.
trotted second heat in 2:24A and third
heat in 1926. The fastest mile trotted in
Austria previous to this performance was
in 2:29. Cupid is small brown stallion.
! and supposed to be by King Herod. He
was purchased by Hungarian nobleman
for breeding purposes, the price paid
being about $4,000.
''veritas' of TAe.Spirit, has heard of a
wonderful PAGER bred in Missouri. He is
called Pichball, brown gelding, full Is
hands, years old, got by King Pharaoh,
out of mare by Little Arthur. 1t is
said Pharaoh was a son of American Star,
dam by Bay Duroc. This pacing phe-
nomenon was used as saddler until last
spring, when he was broken to harness, but
received no training until this fall and
after two weeks work. his present owner
drove him a half in 1:Oe11a5, and mile in
2:241s on the track at ST. Joseph, Mo.
Col. Chin of Kentucky, in the city, has
a two year old pacing FLY that he processes
to be willing to match against any two year
PAGER or trotter from 81 900 to S1OOOO.The
FLY is by Red Wilkes, the son of Geo,
Wilkes, and was freely entered in his one
year old form in the trotting stakes for
| 1883, but when it came to working
she would, when pressed, al
ways strike into pace, at which gait she
showed such speed that she is being devel-
oped at that way of going. Week before
last, on slow track, she paced mile in
2:40 and repeating it in $50, pacing the
last quarter in 36 seconds, a 2:24 gait.
Mike Murphy, the we'll known trainer
died at the Louisville hospital, Sept, 49,
Murphy was native af Nova Scotia, and
was for some time in the stables of the
late Major Bacon, Subsequently he began
riding steeplechases, and achieved con
siderable reputation through Duffy, La
bella, Milesian, and Trouble. He trained
for Mr.. Bannatyne, Mr.. Thompson, and
others. In 1880 he trained for Barnes &
West, and upon the purchase of Gabriel
| by Apologize Bros. went with Gabriel
into their service. As steeplechase rider
Mike had no superior in his time, and, as
a trainer, he was quite successful. Like
the English jockey, Bill Scott, his esti-
mate of horse was marvelously correct
and generally made up at a glance. He
had, indeed, that peculiar gift of forming
correct and sweeping opinion of horse
| at first sight which is accorded to few men
| in the profession.
