Mr.. Theodore Walton, New York city, the
American plunger, has registered his racing
colors in England. They are white with scar
let braces and cap. Already the telegraph has

,S7O; 1882, stakes As, entries 1887. The in
crease in handicap events, all ages in the same

The most important horse sale the past
week was that of the trotting stallion Pied
mont to Gov. Leland Stanford, of California,
by 8. J. Morgan OF Chicago. The considera.
tion is said to be 1880. His record is
2:1714, the lowest of any stallion now on the
turf, and it is stated he showed 2:l6 in private
last season. Piedmont is by Almont, son of
Alexande's Abdallah, he by Rysdyk's Ham,
bletonian, dam Mag Furguson by Mambrino
Chief. 1t is stated he will be
Alto stock farms, California, and be put in
the stud with Electioneer and Gen. Benton,
sires of Fred Croeker, Wildfower, Bonita,
Kinda Rosa, and many other speedy young

Dream by Happy Medium, and will breed her
to Electioneer.
The first page of The Spirit of March II,
contains picture of colt which has been
named Professor Going, 10 months old March
8, who may be we'll considered something of a
marvel. He is by Idol, son of Mambrino
Chief, dam Martha Washington. In the de-
scription accompanying the picture it is stated
the colt "weighed125 lbs. one hour after foal-
ing, and it is a fact that, while sucking, it
became necessary to remove him from his
dam for prudential reasons" Three days before
he was ten month"; old be turned the
scales at TO pounds, and under the standard
stood 14x hands at the withers and Is hands
at the rump. When exercised at the halter
he is said to strike at 2:40 gait, covers 1s feet
in his stride, and has ''that loose, easy action
which is the poetry of motion in trotter,
and always indicative of reserve of speed. u
His name is In honor of Professor Going, the
veterinary editor of The Spirit.
