Miscellaneous.

KY, has sold the bay mare Matte sWlll1s,
by Tom Thumb, dam by Jim Crow, to Mr..
Dickey, Marshalltown, Mich.
The three-year-old colt Barnes, owned
by the Dryers, has broken down. He was,
next to Leonatus and Drake Carter, con-
sidered the best three year-old of the sea-
son.
J. S. Campbell, who drives Richball and
Westmont, talks of hitching them up to-
gethsr and giving double-team per-
Torrance. He is confident they can go a
mile in 2:14.
Tony Newell, 2:191s, has been taken to
Erie, Pa, by his new owner, Mr.. @. M.
Reed, of that place, and will be driven on
the road with Nora Temple. He is a
handsome horse as we'll as fast one.
Jay-Eye-See has been engaged by the
Nsrsgansett park management, and will
trot against time at Providence on Thurs
day next. This will be one of the last
chances to see the famous fve-ysar-old in
the east.
It is stated that James Lee. a very e1-
perienosd trainer, and who for several
years has had charge of Mr.. Charles Reeds
horses, will hereafter train the extensive
racing stable of Com. N. W. Kittson of
this city.
Miss Laura A Wilson, daughter of W. H.
Wilson, the proprietor of Abdallah park,
Cynthiana, KY, took the premium, bar
rel of flour, for best lady driver at the
Cynthiana fair. She drove Strawberry,
her famous road horse, which was sold for
$3.50 to Pennylvanian who observed him
in the ring.
At Hampton park last week Edwin
Thorne Unexpectedly met with defeat at
the hands of Wilson. Subsequently he
was attacked with bronchial pneumonia,
and is now at Springfield undergoing
treatment. 1t is probable the big chestnut
will not start again this year. The Little
General is Respondent, but his colors are
not yet at half mast.
The East Saginaw Courier of recent date
says: Hon. Wm. Hamilton, on being
questioned as to his offer to match Te-
cumseh, by Nanbrino Gift, against Mr..
NcLean's horse Burns, by Kirkwood, said
his proposition was open for any time
during September for. $4,000 side. No
less amount would induce him to give his
horse record that he would be obliged
to on so fast track as the East Saginaw
course,
Turf, Field and Farm: A number Of the
prominent drivers, such as Hickok, Turner,
Splan and Goldsmith are thinking serious
ly of going to California with their stables
after the Providence meeting. 1t is pro-
posed to stop at Chicago on the way out
1t is thought that late fall and winter
circuit can be established on the Pacific
Coast which will put money into the peck
cts of all.
In chat with Robert Bonner, George
Sanders, the we'll known driver of Cling
stone and other noted flyers, after saying
81 don't think any one ever saw me come
on the track with sore horse" gave that
gentleman the component parts of the
wash he uses: sTake a three-gallon
jug, pour in gallon and a half of pure
cider vinegar, quart of full-proof alco-
hol, eight ounces sal ammonia, four
ounces saltpetre, and fill up the jug with
rain water. also use the best extract of
witch hazel for bathing the shoulders,
back, loins and muscles"
Milton Young's temperance on the
running turf next season is now certain
ty, he having made numerous entries in
the stakes which closed yesterday. When
he sold his stable of horses to Mr.. R. G.
Pate last fall it was understood that Young
would devote his time exclusively to breed
ing, but in this respect he has evidently
changed his mind. "Brown Dick" who
now trains for Mr.. Pate, will, it is under
stood, return to Mr.. Young's service, and
Stoval will, no doubt, be the principal
jockey, his services having recently been
dispensed with by Mr.. Pate.
Mr. W. J. Gordon said at Cleveland to
a reporter, when the subject of 'helpers"
in race came up: "There are in nearly
every race some skipping horses, who can
bother a steady going one very much.
They can not win themselves, but are ever
ready to support or assist others, so that
an honorable owner, who sets his face
against combinations, has not a fair
chance to win. think the rule as to foul
driving should be made more stringent,
and such punishment melted out to help
ers' that they would be suspended or ex-
PEELED. If something of the kind is not
done men of means and principle will be
forced to abandon the turf"
1t is just possible that Com. N. W..
Kittson's b. m. Astoria will not be the last
representative of the Hero of Chester to
enter the charmed 2:30 circle, as we see by
the entries for the Great Balch stallion
meeting at Beacon park, Boston, the last
week in September, the following entry in
the 2;40 class: 'Hambletonian's Last,
br. s., by Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
dam Lady Russell, by Seely's Ameri-
can Star, owned by DR.. j. A. Sherman,
Freehold, N. j., foaled in 1876; record,
2:4O15." Here is grand combination of
trotting blood, and we shall look to see
him join Astoria in giving his sire another
$50 performer in 1888, thus swelling the
total from his loirs to thirty seven.
Spirit of the Times, Sth: In comment
ing upon the fast performance of Mr..
VIM. Rockefeller's team, Independence
and Cleora, at Charter Oak park last week,
we omitted to mention enc very important
feature, which is that the mile was made
to sulky. This way of going is an in
novation for trotting to the pole, and
while the time, 2:1611a, is a double-team
record, it must stand on its own basis as a
record for pair of trotters drawing a
two-wheeled vehicle, and does not rank in
! the same class with other performances to
the pole. Double-team trotting has be-
come so fashionable and is exciting such
