where he says there are a number of prom

that the ringers are very thick, doing
great injury to breeders mi
owners of straight horses, especially
mentioning the b. g., Rurdell, which did
the slow classes there last year and is re-
naming to complete the job in 1888.
General Tracy, of Marshland Stud, says
he has learned something with regard
to feeding. He conjectures that overfeed-
ing of grain is as injurious, because it
bakes the system, as underfeeding, which
retards the growth through weakness. His
allowance for weanlings and yearlings is
now four quarts per day of corn, rye and
wheat bran mixed, or of oats The change
keeps the appetite from growing dull Fed

the year-olds, which, as weanlings, we're
fed six and eight quarts of grain per day.
The Breeders Ga.ette says: 'John Cur

Stiles, of the same place, 800 cash for the
Cupid colt Blizzard, foaled in 1881. The
offer was declined. 1t is freely predicted
that this fellow is sure to win the two-year-
old race at Preston, MINI. E. F. Nash is
driving him. Mr.. Curtin has bought a
trotter for the free-to-all class in that Sec

Jere Allis, of Clear Grit Mills, Isinours,
Mimi, has just purchased, of NJ. J. Myers,
Wells, Mimi, the Holstein bull Compeer
and the imported heifer Bonnie Jean, both
herd book animals and said to possess un-
usual merit. Mr.. Allis is a newcomer
among the breeders of thoroughbred
stock, his first venture having been small
herd Of Poland Chinas last year. His
| management of them has proved so en-
couraging that he decided to try some

examination of the various breeds and
their adaptability to his locality he chose
the Holsteins.
! In mention of the PAGERS of 1888, the
Breeders Gazette says of the Midway rep
resentatives: "Little Brown jug is at
Cincinnati with the rest of Commodore
Kittson's horses, and advices from there
state that he is going sound on the leg
that troubled him SO much last season.
Should Brown jug stand a preparation,
there is no PAGER now on the turf that has
any chance to beat him in an even race,
bat in the past his driving has not been of
the most skillful or kindly style. Gem,
who was second to Buffalo Girl when the
latter paced heat in 2:1213, and who is
also owned by Commodore Kittson, was
also handicapped last season by too much
driving in the early part of her races, but
Splan will adopt a different course with
her.
A virulent phase of influence is preva-
lent among the horses in the northern and
middle counties of England. The disease
ls so infectious that it may be contracted
by horse at drinking trough previously
visited by diseased animal. The disease
has also broken out in Bristol, where six
deaths are reported in one stable and
seven at another, through the epidemic

disease recently prevalent at Midway, and

afflicted, is the same as. the above noted

many of its symptoms.
Two weeks ago, on the authority of a

sensational green trotter, six years old,

this information we said that in G brief
examination of our records we failed
to find either of the
sires named, and, as it
Wss all mere hearsay about the horse and
the breeding given, let the matter drop. A
