her temperance on the turf. She trotted
but one race last season, but is now in fine
shape.
Capt. Barton Atkins, quite we'll known
to the readers of the horse department of
the GLOBE under the nom de plume of
Veteran" has gone to New
York, at some point in which state he will
make his future home. The GLOBE regrets
to bid Capt. Atkins good bye, but we are
pleased to be able to promise our readers
an occasional letter from him. He took
| with him two brood mares, one Pilot. Jr.
the other by Curtiss' Hambletonian, with a
promising FLY by her side, by Theseus, he

The chestnut gelding Capt Lewis, that
| created such sensation last summer by
| coming direct from the pillow and winning
every race in which he started, is regarded
| by many as being the most promising
horse now on the turf. A party of Provi.
dence (R. l.. horsemen recently went to
Rochester with the intention of purchasing
him, but when the owners of Capt. Lewis
| placed the price of the horse at $4,000
they concluded not to make the trade, al
though expressing willingness to give
$4,000. Capt. Lewis is member of the
Clay family of trotters, and has record
of 2:204.
Among the notable youngsters at Erden-
helm is colt two years old in May next,
named st. Paul, in honor of Commodore
K1ttson's home. In letter to the Com
modore Major Hubbard, superintendent of
Erdenheim. says st. Paul now measures a
trife under 1871 hands, and that he is un.
doubtedly the largest and finest colt of his
age ever bred in America Major Hub
bard describes the colt as of fine carriage
and a most promising mover. His
sire is Alarm, by Eclipse, dam
Lady Selyers, by Longfellow. If no mis-
fortune happens him he will undoubtedly
grow into horse of over II hands-a size
that may operate against his success as a
turf performer-but that, coupled with his
very choice breeding will make him very
valuable as q sire.
