miscellaneous Notes.

Two hundred and sixty of the trotting
stock at Palo Alto Farm are suffering from
mysterious disease. Wildhower is de-
scrlbed by correspondent as being cover
ed with mass of disgusting sores. Ma
lor Rathbun, the superintendent, has
hopes OF saving her.
The bay stallion Chieftain, foaled 1856,
by Hiatoga, dam by Trimble's Eclipse,
died March 81, at L. Q. Shippee's ranch,
San Joaquin county, Cal. He was brought
to California in 1860, and was the sire of
Defiance, 2:24, and Cairo, 2:25, besides
many other trotters of lesser note.
Maggie B. B., owned by Commodore Kilt
son, the dam OF Iroquois, has been bred to
reform. For the past few seasons Alarm
mas been her consort, but Major Hubbard
determined to give her another chance
with the bennington CROSS, which proved
prolific of Pera, Harold and Iroquois.
The trotting gelding Pilot R., 2:21A,
died last November after an operation by
DIR. Hawkins,V. S., who treated him for ifs
tula in the shoulder. His owner, Mr..
ID. j. Campau, of Detroit, Mich, claims
that the horse never had a fistulous sore,
and has sued the Doctor for $4,000 dam
ages.
BY fire in Sol. Bunnell's boarding and
training stables, Elmira, N. Y, the 25th
ult., number of valuable trotters were
cremated, among them Bunnell's Rosa B.,
valued at 81, 500: ob.Stewart, 81 600, owned
by Robert Stewart of Bath, n. Y, and Lady
Beckman, valued at $4,000, owned by p.
q. Van Gelders of Hammonsport. Nine
carriage horses, worth upwards of $4,000,
were also consumed.
The Narragansett driving park associa-
ton, of Providence, R. l., under it's new
management has joined the list of associa-
tions who have adopted the plan of large
purses upon the subscription plan of
| entries, and offers two purses of
$4,000 each, for the 2:2O and 500 classes
respectively, to be trotted for during the
september meeting. We venture the asser-
ton the two purses will prove the most
successful of the entire programme.
| 1.-The Turf, Field and Farm says it showed
for over three hours on the Gentleuen's
Driving track Sunday; and Monday, when
the atmosphere was raw and the footing
sticky and heavy, John Murphy drove Mr..
Bonner's Pickard mile in 2:23. It was a
great performance, and indicates that the
2:l4 horses must begin to look out for
their laureis. Pickard's sire was Abdallah
Pilot, and his dam was got by Bourbon
! Chief.

ing the 276 entries at the Chicago July

Soon after the sale of Jerome Eddy for
$4,000, by Messrs. Dewey q Stewart, the
| senior member of the firm visited Ken
lucky for the purpose of securing a suit
| able successor to the son of Louis Napoleon.
! This he secured in the two-year old colt
Furor full brother to Fugue), by King
Rene, dam Fuga by Geo. Wilkes; her dam
Betsy Trotwood by Clark Chief. The price
paid for Furor was $4,000 cash, and the
bay mare Lena hapes full sister to Jerome
Eddy, seven years old. Furor was pur-
| chased from his breeder, Major Il. G..
Mcdowell, and is one of the best-bred
young stations in the country, besides
| coming of family that trot, as his sister
Fuga is one of the fastest of her age in the
country.-Breeder'S Gazette.
