MOBILE, May 6, 1882.
EDITORS TURF, FIELD AND FARM.-Quite
a lively interest for several years past has
been taken in trotting stock, and for the last
two years we have had a three-year-old colt
stake which has aided to give quite an impe-
tus to the breeding of the noble animal by
gentlemen who have done so for their ewn
pleasure and amusement. Recently, how
ever, eur section suffered q severe loss by the
sale of Maxim ~, by Alexander's Belmont,
dam Primrose, dam of Princeps, sire of the
Justly celebrated Trinket and others. He was
bought at round figure by Mr.. Samuel e.
Larabie, of Deer Lodge, Montana, the owner
ones Mr.. Larabie has secured prize, and
one destined at ne distant day to make his
mark. Maxim is rich bay, fully sixteen
hands, and, as you see, royalty bred; and ],
for one, do net regret his change of owner
ship, as I am satisfied he will have better
showing than he would have had in this sec
ton. He has fine form and style, plenty Of
bone and muscle, as fine feet and limbs as
one could wish to see and disposition that
cannot be excelled. He Is level-headed, his
stroke Is true and even and the most perfect
and powerful have ever seen. He is my
idea of perfect trotter, and a study Of his
pedigree cannot fail to impress any breeder,
as he possesses producing qualities rarely
equaIled In stallion, his sire and dam being
by one of the grandest and most prepotent
trotting sires in the world, and Mr.. A. J.
Alexander reserves his yearling brother
(Binderton) for his own use, and has refused
large sum for him. His colts; none of them
from approved mares and some out of very
ordinary dams, have got good legs and feet,
plenty of loin and all trot square, some Of
them very fast, and have to see one that
was not square gated, even out of pacing
mares. In the three-year-old stake trotted
here on the 4th OF May there were four of his
cslts (his first get) in the stake of eight en-
tries made q year ago, and the entire four
came to the post, and only one of the other
four, and he Kentucky-bred colt. think
this shows what his colts are made of-the
filly Minnie by him won the race, and each
succeeding heat was faster than the previous
one. Some of these colts were not full three
years old. The track was a new one, very
sandy, and heavy, and measured the mile
from the inner pole Instead of by rule, which,
Of course makes it a long track. This race
was the first on this track (Prichards Park,
