In cOmmemoration of the Ienown which
Iroquois and Foxhall have conferred upon the
American race horse, the Saratoga Racing as.
ISOLATION has done gracious compliment to
them in naming two new stakes, for three.
year-olds, to be run in 1884. The Iroquois
stakes is 800, h. f., only $25 if declared out
by January l, 1884, 1000 added, $3.50 to Sec
Ond; to be run at the second meeting; distance,
one mile and 500 yards. The Foxhall stakes
has the same conditions, except that it is run
at the second meeting at mile and five fur
longs. Both these stakes close August Is.
The Chicago Jockey club spring running
meeting was TO have commenced Saturday,
but had to be postponed on account of unfa-
vOrable weather. The racing attractions to be
seen during the meeting have never been ex.
celled on any course in the country, and no
effort hos hpnn hu no n1rnh ~
make the meeting attractive to the many thou
sands of visitors who will undoubtedly throng
its grounds. Five representatives of the Mid
way runners, including the chestnut mare
Dorothy Vernon, and. the Bonnie Scotland
colt Bric-a-Brac, were shipped to Chicago
Monday last, and if they show up in condi-
ton will be startsd in some of the many
events included in the rich programme to be
given.
We have received from Frank Dunton (of
the Spirit Of the Turf, Chicago) compiler
and publisher, an advance copy of complete
catalogue of horses, brood mares and colts
at the noted Midway park stud, this city. AS
frontispiece there is fine steel engraving
OF the mammoth stables, which is followed
by the title page, and then comes the names of
wood, Jr., heading the list, with
pedigrees, each animal occupying
page, printed upon tinted paper, with neat
colored border. The pedigrees, while brief,
tell the full history of the horse. The work
is neat in design and execution, rejecting
credit upon its compiler and upon the gentle
man whose enterprise and wealth has made
possible the aggregation of such fine stud
OF horses in one stable, Com. N. w. Kittson.
The last issue of Dunton's Spirit Of the
Turf, has as a frontispiece an excellent en-
craving of the Midway park stables
of Commodore N. W. Kittson, this city-the
most complete breeding and training stables in
the country, with detailed description of the
same. The descriptive article concludes as
follows In conclusion, we will say that Com
modore Kittson has expended between three
and four hundred thousand dollars for the
horse, in the last sixteen months; and, when
his plans are all carried to completion, nothing
short of 100000 will have been expended.

whit behind the trotters, in point of excellent
ancestry, o. individual merit; and, as breed

add millions OF dollars to our commerce."
