We don't know anything about this par
ticular animal, but we do know that the
advertisement is .swindle, when it gives
the age of the horse to be sold as five years
and as by Blood's Black Hawk, horse
foaled in 1847 and who has been dead fif-
teen years or more. Several advertise
ments of similar character
have appeared in the same paper
of late, and we were told couple of weeks
since of sale made to a gentleman of
this city, who innocently swallowed the
bogus pedigree, paid the money and took
the horse home. The next morning he
took his prize out for a spin, and soon
learned that by a vigorous application of
the whip he could be made to do mile in
about five minutes. Disguised, he took
the horse back to the parties from whom
he purchased him, but was met by woman
with the information that her husband was
out and that nothing could be done until
he returned. This did not suit the pur-
chaser, and he began to talk about getting
money under false pretenses, ETC.. and the
result was that the husband" was soon
found, the man received back his money,
and the horse was most probably given
another pedigree, and again placed on the
market. We have little sym
pathY for a person getting bit by
such swindle, but still would suggest that
it is always wise for novice when buy
ing horse, if the dealer is not known to
be responsible, to consult some expert
enced horseman, and especially to give
the horse a thorough trial before conclud
ing purchase.

The Lo,Cest Record of Trottt,,g Stations.

AISO AVtSO"C 4ScCOTU VI LTOCCeSy CCUtCSOIGS1
The first stallion to make a record of
2:30, was Ethan Allen, Oct. 28th, 1858.
This stood the best until beaten by the
same horse, July II, 1860, he then scoring
a mile in 2:2515. Twenty-one days there
after, August I'd, George M. Patchen, took
from him the blue ribbon, by trotting a
mile in 2:231a. 1t was eight years before
these figures were lowered by a stallion,
and then by George Wilkes, 2:22, October
13, 1868. Wilkes then welded the sceptre
for four years, when he handed it over to
his half brother, Jay Gould, 2:211s, Aug.
Z, 1872. Then for two years Gould was
king, at the end of which time Nam brino
Gift electrified the horse world by trotting
a mile in 2:20, Aug 13, 1874. The reign of
Gift was short, for soon after
in the same season the great Smuggler
lowered the record fraction of a second.
Smuggler was the first to again lower the
figures which he did in his incompatible
performance at Hartford, Conn, August
81, 1876, scoring mile in 2:15I, which
record still stands as monument to King
Smuggler. These figures are the mark
thet the fastest trotting stations are now
aiming at, and with fair prospect that
the bulls eye will be pumped before the
close of the present season. In breeding
sense,the crown is now worn by plebeian,
with the blood of the royal Messenger,
represented in Piedmont, Jerome Ed
dy, and Phallas, good seconds, the latter
now gallantlY struggling to drive the great
commoner from between the wind
and his nobility. This prince
of the house of Hambletonian, carrying
in his veins the blood of King Dexter, has
lately reached the wire in 2:161a, only one
and one-fourth seconds behind time. As
this performance was made in heat
wherein Phallas took the word to bad
start, being pocketed in the rear of Majo-
lica, Felix and Index compelling him to
take the outside of the track, and not hav-
ing the pole during the heat, it justifes
the belief that under more favorable Cir
cumstances the game and speedy son OF
! Dictator and Betsy Trotwood will ere long
wrest from the brow of the great Smuggle1
the crown that he has so long and defantly
worn.

JOIaaa Splast and the MidlUdy Campaigners.
A windy correspondent of Dunton's
Spirit; "Dick Templeton" by name, sails
in without pilot, in this shape: ''I am
sorry that Com. Kittson's stable is not in
form, and believe that much of this mis-
fortune is due to Splan's carelessness."
The foundation for this statement is that
Little Brown Jug is hopelessly lame in the
right fore ankle; that Won Arnim is weak
in one of his hind ankles; that Lady Rolf
is in the same fix as Won Arnim, and that
Minnie R. is not up to her former speed
although apparently in fine condition 9TH
erwise. But let US review the case and see
how and where John Splan can be
held responsible for these misfortunes.
Little Brown Jug was lamed early last
| season, when driven by McCarty, in
pacing races on half mile tracks in the
mud, at rate of speed equal to 2:16.
Splan received him lame horse, and by
special care brought him to such condition
that it was thought safe to give him fast
trial at Cleveland, which was done in 2:15,
when the weak spot again gave away and
the horse has been retired for the season
The case of Won Arnim is identical with
that of the Jug, he having sprained ten
don while campaigning last season, and
although apparent strength had been given
to the weak limb before starting him at
Chicago, yet the difficulty returned in bad
form at the conclusion of his race with
Thorne and Charley Ford. Lady Rolf was
famed when she made her record when five
years old. and from which she has never
recovered sufficient to stand preparation
for race. Silverton, who was in the string
early in the season, is n. g., being Blue
Bull trotter, which tells the story for him.
d. L. will please name one that has trained
on after two or three seasons on the turf.
ALI the above belonging to the stable of
Com. Kittsen have been retired to private
life at Midway, and it would puzzle the
most ingenious to point out wherein Splan
can be blamed in the premises. On the
other hand the remaining members of the
string, including Fanny Witherspoon, Rev
enue, Gem and Minnie Rare in the very best
possible condition, vastly improved, not
only in their speed, but especially so in
their behavior when in a race. Fanny
Witherspoon has been changed from a
sulking bad breaker to level headed, re-
liable trotter, not having made break
since being handled by Splan. Gem last
season was bad breaker, breaking all to
pieces in nearly every heat, while now she

A Fe,U Words With Old Horsemen.

A FesU Words With Old Horsemen.
An old horseman, familiar with per-
formances on the trotting turf quarter
of a century ago, when the names of Flora
Temple and Geo. M. Patchen were on the
lips of all admirers of horse flesh from the
ocean to the mountains, desires the sym
pathy of the men of his time, having been
played upon in way that he despises by
a trio of comparative novices in the busi-
ness. He writes:
s'There were assembled party of four,
three young and enthusiastic devotees of
the trotter, and the complainant.
Time, one week prior to the late
Chicago meeting. One of the three ju-
niors proposed that the party should mark
on the time of the best heat that, would be
made in the 800 class at the meeting. The
one whose mark was the greatest distance
from the actual time made, was to pay for
limited number of cigars for the benefit
of the whole party. Then, IN communion
with myself, my thoughts instantly revert
ing to the grand performances of Lady
Suffolk and her contemporaries down to the
days of Flora Temple, I seized the
pencil and paper, but hesitated
and scanned the entries to the race in
question. There was included a son of the
great Smuggler, 2:151a, son of Startle, a
horse that was able to trot a mile better
than 2:20 when a half-broken colt; and
there was also son of Dictator, horse
that dictates wonderful speed to his prog
eny. And with these in mind, and for the
moment without thought of the capabili-
ties of the ancient star performers before
mentioned, I wrote the figures that were
to stand as my judgment on the time that
would be made in race between field of
green horses in the 800 class. I am almost
ashamed to acknowledge it, and appeal to
all old horsemen to justify such feeling,
when admitting that I deliberately made
the figures 2:184. Shades of Lady Suffolk
and Ethan Allen, can such things be? This
time would put both of you behind the flag
in the best heat you ever made to harness.
A week passed away. 1 saw the race,
heard the time of the third heat
declared from the stand 2:1615, and
turning on my heel walked away, lost in con
temptation of the speed of green trotters.
Subsequently, when meeting the young
friends with whom 1 had marked time,
the four little strips of paper were pro-
duced and here are the respective figures,
PIG, 2:164, 2:17, 2:18I, the last my own
and the loser. Hereafter, my acquaint-
ances will take notice, that am not an
oracle on the speed of trotting horses. 1
know nothing of their capabilities and of
their possibilities am prepared to believe
the statements of their most, enthusiastic
deyotees"

more even and faster rate of speed than
ever before. By an unfortunate circum-
stance she was awarded heat in 2:15I,
which has placed her in field of the most
speedy horses in the world, and it is GER
tainly no fault of her driver that she can
not win when heats are paced in 2:14 and
better. Minnie R. is not an exception to
the others in point OF condition and be-
baylor, but is not this season pos
sessed of her former speed, which is
often the case with many other trotters at
times, Lady Thorne being a notable in
stance, who during her career lost her
speed to such an extent that she could not
trot mile in three minutes during a
whole season. It was intended to have
sent Minnie R. home along with Jug and
Won Arnim, from Chicago, but the i'm
provement she made during the week of
the Chicago meeting was so marked that
it was concluded to retain her in the string,
and she was therefore entered in her class
at Cleveland. Now if Dick Templeton can
point out wherein Splan's carelessness has
been the cause of any of the mishaps that
has befallen the stable, it is certainly his
duty to speak out, if not, his place would
be residence among the Sioux Indians
where his name would be ''the man that
