The contest for the first place in the SlO,OoO
stallion race at Rochester, July q, promises TO
be one OF the most sharply-contested IN the
history of the turf. Santa Claus and Robert
McGregor are the favorites in betting circles,
but some of the more knowing ones look wise
when they remember that Alexander won the
prize last year.

We owe Mr. G. A. B. Shave an apology by
thoughtlessly giving awrong pedigree to his
very promising colt Memory. Itshould have
read "Memory, b. h, fOaled 1878; got by
Mambrino Gift, son of Mambrino Pilot; dam
Zephyr, by Swigert, son of Aexander's Nor
m N; I'd dam Kitty, by Richards Bellfounder;
81 dam Dolly, by Hungerford's Butcher"
The breeding is too good to have DOUBT cast
upon it by misstating it in paper that makes
pretensions to give reliable breeding and turf
news as the GLOBE does.
Tomorrow will witness the opening races
of the first important meeting for the season
of 1882. The scene will be the historic Lex
ington course, first opened to the public in
1896 The races will be watched with
great interest, as most OF the cracks
Of the country, including many untried young,
sters will appear and contest for the stakes and
purses, thus giving the public the first oppor-
tunity of jude ing of their respective merits
from form and performance.
Though the details have not yet been fully
upon, it may be stated as fact
that certain localities of Minnesota and Da-
kota have Joined hands in organizing North
western Trotting circuit. The localities at
which meetings will be given in the circuit,
are Red Wing, Hastings and Minneapolis IN
hans another point in Dakota. The first
meeting will probably be held at Red Wing
and the circuit close at Minneapolis, a week
preceding the Chicago, giving ample time for
horses going through the circuit to reach that
point If so desired. 1t is probable that special
purses will be given for some OF the myers III
Commodore Kittson's stable.
The weather continues cold and training
operations in all parts of the country are back
ward. All interested, however, are hoping
that Nav will show marked Improvement in
this respect. AS it is, trainers have improved
every opportunity and exercised the greatest
possible care in fitting their horses. apprecl-
atlng the fact that, with the very large fields
of horses that are to be represented in all the
principal events. an animal not perfectly
as we'll as speedy, will stand
poor show. The horses at Midway are being
given steady work, and though by no means
N proper condition 10 go into bruising race,
are looking very well-not simply presenting
clean limbs and glossy coat-but everything
about them shows good health and plenty OF
substance to reduce to its proper condition in
q short time.
Adam Fetsch, the well Unknown Third street
cigar man, Will need to be watched by the
owners of pole teams, as he is putting to-
gether pair of clippers. One is his chestnut
mare Lii, 6years old, by Skinkle's HANDLE
tonian (2:2SI), out of the Fisk mare, said to
be of Messenger blood. The other is 4-year
FLY by DeGraff g. Hopkins Alexander, (2:2S)
out of the st. George mare (2:47) formerly
owned by Mr.. Fetsch. The mare Lii
is known to the road drivers of the city as
pleasant driver and speedy. The Alexander

not been developed beyond ordinary road
and about 1873. She has free open stride,
low reaching and regular, and the build from.

a good many fine looking and promising colts,
but to our mind none more promising than
Mr.. Fetsch's FLY.
The principal racing event in England the
past week was the Two Thousand Guineas,
run on Wednesday last, and resulted in severe
disappointment to Americans, from the fact
that Mr.. P. Lorillard's Gerald, the favorite in
the betting up to within twenty-four hours of
the race, was scratched the morning of the
race, having ruptured a small blood-vessel in
his exercise two days before. Gerald
being unable to run, Lorillard's Sachem
that has been quietly supported
by an English gentlemen for the Derby-was
started, but failed to get place: Eighteen
ran, the Duke of Westminster's CHI. +. ShotO-
yer, by Hermit, being first; Lord Bradford's
b. c. Qulckline, second; and Mr.. R. s. Evans
b. C. Marden, by Hermit, third The betting
Just previous to the start was to against
Shotover, so to against Quickline, and 9 to l
against Marden. So far none of Mr.. Keene's
horses have ran this year, while Mr.. Lorillard's
string seem to be generally out OF condition,
or like Gerald, meet with disaster u BON the eve
of race for which they are named.
The sale of thoroughbred colts and FLIES
at Gen. Harding's breeding establishment,
Belle Meade, near Nashville, Tenn, Saturday,
was attended by some 1900 persons from ali
parts of the country. Among the visitors
were United States Senators Bayard, German
and Jackson, Hon. Geo. B. Loring, United
States commissioner of agriculture, and all of
the principal breeders and turf patrons of
Dwyer Bros, Chas. Read ard S. D. Bruce,
New York, Swigert, Young, Broadhead and
Others, Thirty.seven colts and FLIES by En-
quirer and Great Tom realized an aggregate
of S23, 355, an average of trl1e over S67i per
head. The principal purchasers were the
Lerillards, Dwyer Bros, Milton Young and
Chas Read The highest price paid was by
P Lorilsrd, 81, 500 for the Enquirer colt En-
peror. The sale while fairly satisfactory was
not eqnal to that of last year, when the aver
age was about $1,000, a brother to
Luke Blackburn bringing $1,000.
Last year Commodore Kittson was
a purchaser, getting four head, and
by the same sires, and they have developed in
to such fine 2-year-olds it seems little strange
he could resist the temptation to try his hand
again.
It Didn's Pan Out.
