will cause the foal of Astoria to be an
object of great interest throughout the
entire country, until his maturity. Astoria
the dam of Midway, is now in fine condi-
tion, much better than when brought from
the east three years ago. She has an
entire new set of feet, and her limbs are
now as smooth and firm under her body as
possible. She was bred to Blackwood, Jr.,
the past week. and is in training
with the view of trotting her for record,
in some of the events near home. She was
trained in the fall of 1881 in anticipation
of trotting her at the Minneapolis meet

she was not started, but in her training,
showed quarters repeatedly in 35 seconds,
and halves III Ill, and could then have
made full mile easily in 2:25. She is a

The little chestnut mare Foxie V, by
King Herod, brought out and given
record of 2:26 by VIM. Veazie, of Marine
Mills, Washington county, after being
let up last season, is being campaigned
again in the hands of Dave Johnson, her
present owner. She made her first appear
ance' this season at GAINESVILLE, Wis, in the
free for all, and wrested the first heat
from Monroe Chief in 2:23 [, but the per-
formance seems to have done her up. the
Chief taking the next three heats in
2:2412, 2:2S, 2:37, Foxie being fourth in
two heats and third in the last. The
slow time of the last heats is accounted
for by the fact that they were trotted in the
rain. At. Milwaukee last week she again
met the Chief, and with others had to sub
nit to being distanced, while he was forced
to take second place to the bay mare
Catch Fly, the speedy daughter of Admin
istrator, who, entering the race with
record of 2:2714, came out with 2:193I to
her credit, the three heats being trotted in
