and his death may result in change of
ownership in the horse. Black Cloud was
owned when q colt by General Custer.
All the sick at Midway are rapidly CON
vaIescing, and no further serious trouble
is anticipated. $3.50, in whom serious
weakness across the groin had developed,
is righting too much faster than was ex-
pected, and will probably be put in train
ing at an early day.
Mr.. Charles S. Radclif, this city, has
sold the 4-year old PAGER Little jug to Pat
Butler, also this city. Mr.. Radcliff says
he has been driven only 10 days,
but is showing up speedy, and
advises all to watch out for him Gas he is
going to pace very fast"
Wallace's Monthly says: I''In order to
settle question about which there seems
to be difference of opinion, and in order
| to encourage effort to settle it fully and
forever, we will pay a reward of one
hundred dollars to any person who Will
find strictly thoroughbred horse, mare or
gelding, that is a natural PAGER"
The American-bred colt Shakespeare, by
Waverl5, out Of Lady Wallenstein, won a
twomile steeple-chase at Nice, France, on
Sunday, January IA, and two days later
! was beaten on selling hurdle race, milo
and half. Shakespeare was sent to Eng
land two years ago by Mr.. j. R. Keene, but
| was sold out of that gentleman's stable on
account of lack of speed.
DR.. Wheaton, Detective O'Connor and
| Officer Nugent, who went down to Rose
mont to attend the inquest on the re-
mains of the man who was injured at the
Smelling house in this city and afterwards
died at Rosemont, returned yesterday
| morning. The inquest was continued till
| II o'clock Saturday night, and will be re-
sumed at 10 a. m. to-day. OConnor and
Nugent will go back this morning.
We find the following in the Turf Field
and Farm ''Of all horse diseases infest-
| ing various sections of the country, the
| disease now prevalent in Fargo, Dakota, is
| the worst. The first syptom is a slight
swelling under the jaw, which in a short
| time causes the animal to struggle for
| breath, and in a few days to choke to
death. Neither lamentations nor out
! ward applications seem to have the least
effect"
Charter Oak park, Hartford, has opened
stake for 2:19 horses, to be trotted
during the circuit meeting,
! which will attract the attention of the
| country. Each subscriber completing the
stake is required to make four payments
of $3.50 each. In turn the management
guarantee that the stake will not be less
than $4,000. A prize of such magnitude
| will undoubtedly secure a liberal list of
nominators and the presence of formid-
able field of horses.
On Saturday evening Feb. 81, the trot-
ting bred FLY, "L1ttle Squaw," 2 years
old is to be ratified at the Merchants
hotel. There are to be $50
chances at ST., which seems
| very reasonable for filly of her breeding,
being by son of Western Chief, by Cur
it's Hambletonian, and he by Hero of
| Chester, the great sire of trotters; dam
| Nettie by Hartfords Hambletonian by a
full brother of Sentinel, the sire of Won
Arnim. The pedigree can be verified by
reference to vol. 3, of WaLLace's american
Trotting Register.
The English do not seem to have recov-
cred from their utter Generalization into
which they were thrown in 1881 by the
successes of the American horses, Iroquois,
Foxhall and others, and the cunning of
the Handicapped has evidently been
brought into play to prevent repetition
of those successes this year. At least he
has given the American horses the top
weights in three great spring handicaps,
the weights being SO outrageous in some
cases that Mr.. Lorillard has declined to
accept. A good representation of both
Mr.. Lorillard and Keene's stables are left
in, and as very favorable reports are re-
ceived as to the condition of Iroquois,
Foxhall, Wallenstein and others, it is prob
able some of the triumphs Of 1881, may be
repeated this year.
| Owing to the high water in the Ohio river
interrupting rail communication with the
Kentucky shore, the palace stock car, Mid
way, with the brood mares as named last
week to be sold at the sale of W. H.
Wilson, at Cynthia, KY, the 22d inst, in
charge of D. w. Woodmansee, travelling
manager, did not get away until last even
ing. With the car also went the trotting
mare Lady Rolfe, to join the trotting
string in charge of John Splan, at Gin
cinnati. She has fully recovered from her
recent indisposition, and will be put into
active training as soon as recovered from
the fatiguss of the Journey. Another &C.

Jolly Nun, foaled 1880, got by
Jolly Friar, SON of Beadsman, out of
Frivolity by Macaroni LIST dam Heather
by Breadalbane, son of Stockwell. This
fine bred mare goes to the Elmendorf
| stud, Spring Station, KY, to be bred to
the thoroughbred stallion, Monarchist son,
of Lexington, dam by Miss Glencoe.
Among the St. Paul horses attracting
much attention lat present from her
stylish appearance and bursts of speed
when given her head in the road and ice
driving of the winter, is a black mare
owned and driven on the road by Mr..
Charles s. Radclif. We lare indebted to
her owner for brief history of the mare
as follows: "She came off a farm in 1881.
She did the work of farm horse from the
time she was years old. She has been
driven fifty miles in day and would como
in at night apparently as fresh as she
ment out. She showed no great amount of
speed until this winter, when she began to
improve and seems to improve every time
she is speedsd. If che improves as she
has in the last month look out for her, as it
will take horse that can trot better than
2:3O to head her. She has never had a
days training in her life. She was sired
