| 81. PAUL, April ~, lS03.-Speak-
ing of Memory. STANDARD No. 1860
by Mambrino Gift; dam Zephyr, by Swi-
CERT (all standard bred) for your late
kindly notices we are fully appreciative,
and dislike to even seem to approach tres
passing on your good nature; yet that
others have already and more will be mis-
led by description, etc., in your list of
state stations on last Monday morning,
we beg little space to explain. Memory
is given as ''15-1" high. He is more and
will, we are positive, for many reasons,
make 1873 or more; he weighs now 1,O70
pounds, in good condition, but he is only
now one inch less in height and still high
er behind) than another horse in your list
as 16 hands, though this is wrong too the
other way, and SO we are made to appear
at double disadvantage, (which does US harm,
all unintentionally we know. Again, twice
of late you have noticed Minnesota Bell
(Bouquet) and Cherry having been sent
here to be bred. AS it is known by many
that we raised both these FLIES, it seems
strange they were not sent to our place to
several who do not know or think of
all the facts affecting the cases, but
only bear in mind that we sold both to
their present owners, our friends. It is
very proper to state that they would have
been sent to Memory but for the fact they
are both so nearly related to him, thus,
Minnesota Belle is own sister to dam
of Memory; and Cherry's dam is own sis
ter to his dams dam, also.
Please correct pedigree of Minnesota
Belle-almost all mistaken-as given last
Monday. She is by Swigert; dam Kitty
Breese, by Richards Bellfounder; I'd dam,
Doll, by Hungerford's Butcher, (sire of
Richards Bellfounder. In last "Spirit'
you will observe sale of Opal, (stallion), in
Kansas, for $1,000; he is a son of old
Doll (above) and Swigert, so you will see
how nicely the blood of Swigert hits that of
Butcher, as not only so charmingly shown
in so many instances where he mated with
mares of Richards Bellfounder, bat as
with Opal land Agate, full brothersl who
bred to his half sister, even in her last
years. Both those stations, her colts,
could trot in 2:3O, agate, her LAST and
other, Opal in 2:3S or better.

Tie e:19 $4,000 Race at Chester Oak
Park.
The nominations for the purse of $1O,-
600 for the 2:19 class, offered by Chester
Oak Park, Hartford, CT, closed Tuesday
evening, April II. Under the conditions
subscribers were simply required to for
ward their own names, the
horses not to be designated until
the third payment is made, Aug. Is.
The Spirit of the Times gives the names
of nine subscribers, and says the managers
have information that four more entries
have been forwarded, but they had not
been received in time for the Times issue.
The names of the subscribers received are
Com, N. W. Kitson, Morse's Yellow Dock
Syrup company, W. J. Gordon, M. M.
Hedges, John E. Turner, E. w. Conover,
j. w. Page, James Golden and II. w.
Brown. Commenting on these subscrip-
tons and their probable starters the Times
says:
Unless something unforeseen happens,
the chestnut mare Fanny Witherspoon,
by Almont, dam by COTS Wagner, record
2:1SM, will bear the banner of the Kittson
stable. It is she that has been entered in the
free-for-all race of the Gentleman's Driv-
ing park meeting, and just now she is first
favofite in the distinguished string that
John Splan will engineer. Should she go
wrong, Commodore Kittson has the bay
mare Minnie R., by ]. G. Breckenridge
dam by Exchequer, record 2:19, and the
bay stallion Won Arnim, by Sentinel, dam
by Blood's Black Hawk, to depend upon
Morse's Yellow Dock Syrup Co. of course
intend to enter the chestnut mare Morse's
Yellow Dock, by Clark's Mohawk, Jr dam by
Copperbottom, record 2:204, but ha;
trotted with mate in Pill, the best record
that way rugged, and the fastest mile ever
trotted except by Maud S. She
is formidable candidate. w.
J. Gordon, of Cleveland, we
presume will start the bay gelding William
H., by Young Wilkes, record 2:1815, dam
by Daniel Webster, and it is only neces
sary that he should be In good form tc
secure place in the front rank. M. M
Hedges, whose horses have been wintering
at Augusta, Ga, will rest his fortunes upon
the bay gelding j. B. Thomas, by Sterling,
dam by Defiance, record 2:1S15, unless he
finds a horse that suits him better before
August Is, and this is not likely, as he is
''very sweet on" Thomas. We do not
know what trotter John E. Turner has in
mind, as his prime favorite, Edwin Thorne,
is Ineligible, unless it is the bay mare
Daisydale, by Thorndale, dam by Burr's
Washington, record 2:19A. 1t is quite
likely that the General" has made
his subscription with view to some
horse whose speed he knows, but which has
not yet been shown in public. E. w.
Conover will bring to the post the chest
nut mare Adele Gould, by Jay Gould, dam
Emeline, by Eenry B. Patchen, record
2:19, and a frst-rate one will always be
kept very busy to beat her. James Gold
en- has in training, and doubtless now in
tends to start, the bay mare Rosa Wilkes
by George Wilkes, dam by Mambrino
Patchen, record 2:1S14, recently purchased
by ]. B. Barnaby, of Providence, and q
mare who can, it is generally believed
rub several seconds from her present
record. H. W. Browns champion is, We
suppose, the ''plough horse" the chestnut
gelding Captain Lewis, by Sphinx, dam
Lady Jones, by Wallace's Phenomenon
record 2:2015, recently purchaieC
by John S. Parks, of Provi
dence. This makes three represen
tatives in this race from the last mentioned
city, VIZ, Yellow Dock, Rosa Wilkes, AM
Capt. Lewis, and great trio it is. j. W
Page, we presume, has in mind the ba.
stallion Maxey Cobb, by Happy Medium
