Two standard trotting mares from Ben
son, Swift county, have been sent here to
receive the embraces of DR.. Feller's Young
stallion Dictator, Jr., by Dictator. Thew
are the bay mare Cherry, foaled 1880, by
Alden Goldsmith, 1888; dam by Drury's
Ethan Allen, S53, owned by D. s. Hall.
and the brown mare Minnesota BELLE
foaled 1879, by Swigert, ESQ; dam Miss
Cook by Young Columbus, 95
owned by II. W. Stone. The get ought to
be something good.
At Midway, the brood mare Sister.
daughter of Swigert, has FLY foal, sired
by the young stallion Pilgrim, by Snug
gler;thatls marvel of beauty and activity.
1t Is not counterfeit presentment of its
sire, but the genuine thing. A hung jury
would not hesitate to convict Pilgrim of
Its paternity. 1t is eminently the
most promising youngster ever foaled at
Midway, and at once solves the problem
as to the value of Pilgrim, as sire.
Our review of the Midway stations ap-
pears with Solicitor omitted. This was not
discovered until the matter was in form.
A portion of his breeding was published at
the date of his purchase by Mr.. Kittson,
about two years ago, since which time the
horse has been traced to his breeder, who
has furnished his corrected pedigree as
follows: Solicitor, bay stallion, by Teazum;
dam Outrage, by Deceiyer; I'd dam Decep-
ton, by Fraud. Bred by K. Lamity, in
Hardluck, MINI. The attention of the
Kentucky Ltre Stock Record is called to
this corrected pedigree.

presents itself thus early as one of the SEN
sat1onal events of the year. There are
twenty entries for the hcnors. and money
offered, and the list undoubtedly comprises
the cream among the dark ones owned in
wide section of the country. The Spirit
Of the Times does not wish to intimate that
the probable winner will be found among
the five last named in the list, yet does so,
just the same, by remarkirg, How can
you beat 'em?'' AS the Minnesota stallion.
Pilgrim, is one Of the five referred to, We
repeat, you can't beat him.
st. Julien, like Banquo's ghost, will not
down, as he now appears among the en-
tries at Gentleman's Driving park, New
York, in the free for all, with Hopeful and
Fanny Wltherspoon as contestants. The
managers of the mare must have had
something revealed to them by her action
this spring, to assume to tackle horses
with as low records as st. Julien and Hope
full. We opine the pluck of the owner as
well as the speed of the mare, are among
the causes of her being entered against
such world heaters. The turf editor of the
GLOBE is authorized to bet plug hat, that
Fanny shows up better than third in the
race. Who's afraid?
The Spirit of the Times brings the entries
for the Gentlemen's D irving Park meet
ing, June 20 to % inclusive, and the Island
Park meeting, Albany, n. Y, the following
week. At the first meeting the Midway
entries are, Fanny Witherspoon in the
free-for-all, with St. Julien and Hopeful as
her competitors; Minnie r, in the 2:19
| class, along with Dan Smith, Lady Prit-
chard, Rosa Wilkes, Adele Gould, Josephus,
John S. Clarke, Captain Emmons, and
Romero and Pilgrim in the 800 class
with twenty three other nominations. At
Island park, Won Arnim is entered in the
2:20 class, in which there are twelve other
nominations, including Helene. Capt. EN-
mons, j. Z. Morris, Driver, Naiad Queen,
and Oyerman; Lady Rolfe in the 2:20 class.
with twelve other nominations, and Pilgrim
in the 200 class.
For the benefit of Eastern readers, we
desire to state that Mr. Vanderbilt has de.
cided not to allow Maud S. to trot this
year beyond one or two exhibitions for the
especial benefit of friends. He has al
ready written Baer, who drove the mare
to her record and who has
been handling her the past winter at Gin
cinnati, to have her at Hartford, CT, about
the first of June, to give an exhibition as
above, after which he will have her sent to
New York for his driving until he sails for
Europe. Baer is heartily disguised at the
course Mr.. Vanderbilt has pursued with
reference to the mare and has written him
that he cannot handle her any longer
under the present arrangement. The mare
is said to be in good condition, but it is
thought extremely doubtful if she would
ever beat her record if given an oppor-
tunity. 1t is supposed that Dan
Mace will drive her in her Hartford exhi-
bition.
