are the Rancocas Handicap, Vernal sweep
stakes for 3-year-olds, Peyton handicap

NJ nil
one of the nabobs of the Standard Oil
company, has formidable string of trot
tiers, of which ''Veritas" in The Spirit says:
''In the order of probable merit they are:
Independence, 2:21I; Cleora, 2:18M;
KateISprague, 2:18; Kate Hall, 2:24112;
Enchantress, 2:263l; Brignoi and Prince
Albert; costing, in the aggregate, some
$4,000, and worth far more, as Independ-
ence was bought low, and is now valued at
upwards of $4,000" j. P. Gilbert, the
trainer, thinks if he was afforded an OPP
portunity to race independence and Cleora,
they would equal the fastest double team
time, singly and to the pole.
Judge E. Il. Wood, of the Sixth ward, an
enthusiastic admirer of fine horse, es-
pecially a trotter, captured the fve-ysar
old colt by Western Chief, out of the Hol-
lingshead mare, raff1ed at Lasher's Satur-
day night. The colt was bred by Martin
Delaney, and sold with the mare when
sucking. When a yearling the colt was
bought by the gentleman who put him up
at rattle for $3.50. He developed into
fine looking animal, pleasant driver, and
though never trained, showed fair turn
of speed. He was pat up at $400, and
Judge Wood was offered 5000 cash for him
after it was decided he had thrown the
winning number, an offer that was de-
clined. The horse department of the
GLOBE congratulates Judge Wood in his
good fortune.
Gen. W. J. Withsrs writes the Neao York.
Sportsman: "Weodwards Ethan Allen
reached Fairlawn all right, and the more
see of him the better like him. He has
a great deal more substance and bone
than his full brother Daniel Lambert, and
is almost as stylish. He is about az hand
some as I could ask, and being the first
really first-class Vermont Black Hawk
stallion brought to the Blue Grass country,
I look for great results from crossing
him on my fine Almont, Hambletonian,
and Mambrino mares. Almont got Early
Rose out of granddaughter of vt. Black
Hawk, and Hamlin's Almont out of another
