Il has boon shown, in several casss.
that trotter can bear active campaign
iug for ten or twelve, or even 4 greater
n,mber Of years, yet We find that one
hundred and fonr, nearly one-haif, OF
the $1,000 hors ~ wars hot successful
il races for period greater than i've
years. As rule, We think, the old tins
frottsr stayed longer at the front than
tho,e OF the past two decades, but that
f.e. NAV be attributable TO there hay
ing been lsss competition, and they
vsre not 80 soon outolassed. A striking
sxeeution to this IL found in tho vete-
ran. rom keeler. Uader the name Of
Cayupa Chief he won his first race In
1877 AZ Ciyde. New York, aud his thirty
seventh WAS won In Maine, in 1882.
This Is a period Of sixteen years, and
and none OF the intervening calendar
fiv,x,ons has failed TO SEQ him at the
front one or more times, excep. 1863 and
1851. he il a marvel of wear. Old
Lsdy Suffolk il only one season behind
him, aud she won much greater num-
ber oi Races, seyenty-tiyo being cred tod
70 hsr--m0rs than twice Tom keeler's
quota. Chicago, alias Hardbread,
alias Jim kocskey, outranks even
Tom Kselsr, having won his
Hrst race in the year 1859. and
his last in 1876, no less than eighteen
seasons Of hard campaigning. We be-
lieve he IL still alive in California. An
interesting reminiscelce OF him was re-
Gently published, and II We are MT
mistaken he won scrub race last year.
Otter notable .lasters" are: Brother
Jonathan, Byron, Confidence, Cozettc.
Derby, Ethan Allen, Flora Temple.

Lady FranklSn, Lady Moscow, Lldy

sucoessful career Of at least ten seasons
