Capt. Herod. Silverton and Pedro at
Minneapolis on the Fourth. Who can
name the winner?
DR.. W. J. Hinman of Manitoba, has re-
Gently purchased the promising 4-year old
chestnut colt, Gen. Rosser, by Harold, for
$1,000.
The dam of George Sprague dropped
recently, in Kentucky, black colt sired
by Governor Sprague. A full brother to
George Sprague is prospectively valu-
able animal.
At the Maysville, Ky, fair, DR.. Herr has
an entry in the 4-year-old class named
Boynton Boy, son of Won Arnim, dam by
American Clay. If he Is the son of his
father he will get up and get there. At
the same meeting Crit Davis enters ''Sour
Mash," by Red Wilkes, dam By Bourbon
Chief. This is probably in the saloon
stakes.
Should Chinn y Mogan's colt, Leonatus,
go to Monmouth Park to take part in the
omnibus stakes, he will meet most proba-
bly, Pizarro, Geo. Kinney, Trombone,
Barnes, Trafalgar. and the King Ernest
Cyclone colt. The distance is mile and
a-half, which just suits the famed son of
Lonfellow. If he should start two to one
(cigars) that he wins.
We find the following in the New York
Sportsman, of horse owned at Winnipeg:
| 1.-The trotter W. j. seems to stick to the
initials. He was owned by W. J. Speers,
who sold him to W. J. Human. Human
sold him to w. J. Eward, by Eward to W.
J. O. Conner, by O'Connor to W. j. Kittson
and in settling the affairs of the late Mr..
Kittson, the gelding was bought by his for
mer owner, W. j. Speers.'
Iroquojs, Aranza and Parthenia, of P.
Lorillard's racing string in England, are
on their way home to New York. Iroquois
will be started at Monmouth park, this
month, if in anything like condition. If
not in condition to start at Monmouth
park he will be toned up as rapidly as pos
sible and started later in the season. His
victory in Stockbridge stake, just before
shipped from England, showed that he
possessed all his old time fire and speed.
Mr.. Jas. Crawford, owner of the trotter
Joe Bunker, by Geo. Wilkes, has made a
bet of $500 to 81 600, that the first time
| his horse meets Fannie Witherspoon in a
race, he will beat her for a place. I'm
doubtedly the gentleman has counted that
money for the last time. Geo. Wilkes is
not the sire of trotter that can down
Fannie Witherspoon. Not even can his
big daughter So So, show Fannie the way
to the wire. You are ratified, Mr..
Crawford.
The Chicago Times of the 30th says:
ga novel contest in the racing line was
yesterday arranged in this city to take
place at the Driving park, July p, it being
no less an affair than trotting mule race,
lobe Broderick having matched This mule
Topsy against mule belonging to a gen.
tleman on the South side for 5000, the race
to be mile heats, best three in five. Both
animals are now being worked in the trot-
ting way. AS each of them is said to be
able to trot a mile under $50 the contest
should be an interesting one"
The Hasting Industrial association have
decided to hold their annual fair during
the fourth week in September, when the
spirit of iberality that has. heretofore char
acterized the management will be main
tanned and increased, and with the best and
fastest half mile track in the country, and
large purses to contend for, horsemen will
do well to keep Hastings in mind, and
arrange their programme so as to avail
themselves OF the opportunity to compete
for the rich prizes that will be then and
there offered.
Horsemen will remember reading an
account of Mr.. Robert Bonner, of New
York, making present of fine yearlIng
colt, by Stsrtle, to his brother, who is a
farmer in Michigan, about year ago. AS
the colt Isl full brother to Majolica, who
scored third heat in 2:17, in his first
race, last week, the fame as we'll as the
value of the colt, has probably advanced
in the section where the granger Bonner
resides. Moral. Don't give away young
colts, sired by Startle, with impunity; es-
pecially if they are out of Clark Chief
mares.
W"Veritas," tells the Spirit that Midnight,
2:1S4, by Peacemaker, was driven a fast
mile at Cleveland last week, the first half
in Ill, and finishing up in 2:20. This
would be l 03 for the last half. If this be
correct there must have been a streak of
black gelding dimly visible down the home
stretch for some time afterwards. But
then, the horse is now the property of an
