The Mititcag Stable.


With the close of the Hartford meeting,
came to an end the most important trot-
| ting circuit of the season. consisting of
eight meetings and commencing with Chi
cago. The meetings have been productive
of good sport, have attracted large crowds,
the contests have as rule been fairly con-
Quoted, and prompt, intelligent and fair
| judgment has emanated from the judges
stand. The circuit this year has possessed
mora interest than ever before to the peo-
pie of this section, from the fact that rep
resentatives of Commodore Kittson's sta
BILE took part in many of the more impor-
tant contests; and j. is gratifying to know
lhat,while the stable has not been as success
full as was hoped for it at the commence
ment of the season, a comfortable balance
was left to the credit account after all ex-
penses were paid. The successes of the
stable were Won Arnim, Fanny Wither-
spoon, Minnie r. and Gem. Of these
Gem has done the most work, starting at
every meeting, getting good piece Of the
money in every race bvt one, and reducing
her record from 2:20 to 2:15, and improv-
ing with every race. Won Arnim, Fanny
Witherspoon and Minnie r. won five first
moneys, four second and two third mon
eys, also reducing their records.
Of the balance of the stable which start
ed in at Chicago, $3.50, Lady Rolfe, Sill
verton and Little Brown jug, neither did
well. Silyerton did so poorly at Chicago
he was sent back home and has only now
commenced to round too. $3.50 was start
ed at Chicago and Utica, but could show
nothing of her old time speed, her match
with Monroe Chief at Minneapolis Thurs
day, as substitute for Won Arnim, beinT
by far the best race she has trotted this
year. She has now been let up for the
balance of the year. Lady Rolfe was show
ing up in fine form when she had the mis-
fortune to strike a leg in exercise at Cleye-
land, laming her. At Rochester she had
so far recovered it was decided to start
her. For the first heat she went away from
her field easily, leading them by one hun
dred yards to the half in 1:0S, but was sec
ond at the finish, very lame, and only got
fourth place in the race. She has not
been started since and Will now be turned
out. She was bred in the spring to Black
wood, Jr., and it is hoped is in foal. Lit
tie Brown Jug has also been turned out for
the balance of the season. His perform
ances have not only been disappointing
but extremely aggravating, as in quarters
and halls, he has shown greater speed than
ever before, but it has been impossible to
keep him going mile. Some of the best
reinsmen in the country have experiment
ed with him, but at some point in the mile
he would break and go all to pieces. Mr..
Woodmansee is satisfied he is sore, but
where the trouble is located he cannot de-
eide, but thinks it foot.
The only remaining engagements of the
stable after the $4,000 race at Beacon
Park, Boston. in which Fanny Wither-
spoon is engaged. are at Chicago and Gin
cinnati, where Won Arnim is entered for
the free-for-all stations, Gem in the free
| for-all PAGERS. W.itherspoon in the 2:17,
and Silverton in the 2:21 class. Minnie r.
Will be left at Midway, she being in the
same class with Witherspoon. Gem will
meet all her opponents of the big circuit
while four new candidates have been en-
| tered in SweetZer, Bessie NJ, Charles H
and Bowers. Witherspoon will have to
try conclusions with Rosa Wilkes, Adele
Gould, Deck Wright, Bliss and j. B.
Thomas. Silverton gets into fast compa-
ny with Matte Graham, Fannie Robinson
and other good ones. But the best race
ought to be the free-for-all stations, in
which Won Arnim will again meet Monroe
Chief. the black stallion Alexander, Hard
wood and J. 3. Thomas. These horses in
condition, with good day and track, an6
the race will be a memorable one. 1t may
be statsd that Won Arnim is rapidly re
covering from the sevore chill he had or
the trip from Hartford to Chicago, ant
will be all right in few days.
