"Snap," in the Sportsman, claiming to
speak from a personal acquaintanc f
twenty-five years with noted drivers, says:
SIN their day, in my opinion, the most
able drivers were Honest Hiram Woodruff,
James Z. McMann, James Eoff, Dan
Pfeifer, o. A. Hickok, John Splan and
Mike Roden; but of all of them think
John Murphy is the king"
The veteran turfman, Dan Mace, lately
remarked, while looking over Vanderbilt's
celebrated trotters, that "there is nothing
like dash of Morgan blood to make
tough, enduring, stylish roadsters.' And
| the general public is fast realizing the
fact. Ten years hence "dash of Morgan
blood" will be much more highly priced
than at the present time.
Los Angeles county, California, with less
than ten years. experience in the breeding
of trotters, shows fine roll of speedy
| ones. 1t has to its credit: Romero, 2:1915;

Bellies, 2:291s; Annie Laurie, years,

The st. Louis Globe Democrat says that
"Major Stephen Murphy is spoken of as a
probable starter at the next spring meet
ing here, and perhaps at Chicago as we'll.
The major has had much experience. Col.
| Clarke says he will not start this season,
! and may call on Maj. Murphy to drop the
flag at Louisville. It is to be hoped
good starter will be secured for the West,
for no position has been so much abused
in the past few years."
Forty years is long period of time to
| be connected with newspaper, and when
1t is one department the event is still more
wonderful. Mr.. j. Elliott has represented
| the turf interests of the country in the
columns of the New York Herald, for that
period. He is now seventy years of
ege. The sporting columns of the Herald
are his witnesses to the signal ability that
has characterised his management of that
important department.

tiers of Almont and the descendants of
Mambrino Chief.
