A CALIFORNIA HORSE FARM.

Ex-Goy. Leland Stanford's breeding
farm for horses at Palo Alto, is one OF
the mos, complete establishments of the
kind in the world. OF the seventeen
hundred acres in the place, one hundred
are occupied by the stables, barns and
small paddocks. The buildings, a, the
foot Of gentle rise of ground, make 4
small city by themselves, inhabited by 4
population of nearly five hundred, who
return hither from their business on the
pastures and race tracks, and have two
hundred persons employed in their do
nestle service. The spacious barns are
uniformly foored and ceiled up with rcd
wood-a handsome material which re-
sembles cedar in effect. They are
strewn with the freshest straw, and kept
as neat as the most unexcepiionable
drawing-rooms.
Scions from the stock here raised,
which represents the best thorough bred
and trotting strains in the country. are
likely to be most important influence
in improving the breed ofhorses through
out the Pacific coast. II was here that
curious experiments were conducted, at
the expense of Governor Stanford for
arriving at better understanding OF the
speed Of horses by photographing them
in rapid motion. The photographer,
Muybridge, Of San Francisco, succeed.
ed by an ingenious arrangement Of cleo
trial wires, communicating at the touch
Of the animal with carmeras already
prepared, in securing twelve distinct
views Of the different stages OF single
stride. The attitudes are OF the most un-
expected and curious sort, some of them
highly comic.
Great pains are taken in the raising
and training of young colts. From the
time Of foaling the colts are handled
gently and constantly, and are made as
familiar with the touch Of harness as
they are with the human hands. As a
natural consequence they are perfectly
tame, gentle, and even ahectionate, and
never need breaking. The effect Of this
system Of training has been apparent in
the performances Of some colts which
have been publicly speeded against time.
The first notable exhibition Of speed by
a Palo Alto colt was made on the Bay
District Association track at San Fran
cisco in 1880, when the .year-old
colt Fred Croker lowered the record
Of one-mile trot to ASK. Last year
Bonita, a two-year-old filly from Palo
Alto, cut the record down to s.s4Iz
and later, at the same trotting exhibi-
tion, Wildfower, another two-year- r-old
from the same farm, made a mile in
s.sI; and Hinda Rosa, yearling filly,
on the same day added to the fame Of
the farm by cutting down the yearling
record to s.36H. II is asserted that
there are colts on the farm which can
do even better.-Hdyper's Magazine
