chestnut PAGER, Billy NJ, half in 1:O64,
and then mile in 2:18. Dan also gave
his young mare Fancy, which can now trot
in 2:20, some exercising miles in 2:30.
This young mare is exceptionally pure
gated and very pretty to look at when up
to speed.
Mr.. Frank Work has the chestnut geld
ing Modoc, 2:191s, in his stable and is
testing his qualities as pole horse, par
ticularly with Edward. He is a fine,
rakish looking, handsome shaped horse,
and when he gets acquainted with pole work
will live with the best Of them down the

The brown stallion Sherman, by George
Wilkes, owned by Henry G. Jewett s. Co.,
of Buffalo, n. Y, was trotted at Rochester
on the Goth Ult., to beat his record of
2.2914. It Was not q favorable day, but
the horse did the first mile in 2:242l, and
repeated in 2:2315. The owners say that
this figure is not the measure of his speed,
and it is not Improbable, that he will be
sent again this season for still faster
record.

Breeders Gazette: The bay mare Made
line, 2:2414l, is to be bred to Phallas, 2:151@
She is highly mare, being by Rys-
dyk's Hamiltonian, and out Of Nancy Whit
man (dam of Robert McGregor, 2:18) by
Seeley's American Star. As Phallas is by
son of Hamiltonian and out of Clark
Chief mare, the produce of this uuion with
Madeline will have nothing but trotting
blood. When men want a trotter they
breed trotting mares to trotting stations.
The New England tracks are SO pleased
with the success of their meetings this sea-
son that they have formed al October cir
cult. something quite extraordinary, in
which Narragansett Park and the two Bos-
ton tracks. Beacon and Mystic, partici-
pate. The sport begins at Narragansett,
October 8, 8, 10 and II, and the next week
the horses go to Beacon, and the next to
Mystic. All purses are $500 each, two
trotted each day, as follows: First day,
800 and 2:25 classes; second day, 2:33 and
2:22 classes; third day, 2:38 and 2:29
classes; fourth day, $50 and free-for- all

chances in this circuit.
The death of Mr.. Geo. Il. Smith, OF
Providence, R. l., on the 25th of Septem-
Der, is announced. Mr.. Smith was the
first secretary OF the National Trottiug as
ISOLATION, and was one of the founders of
that organization, and always took deep
interest in it. OF late years, he has res ided
in England, and was superintendent of the
North Metropolitan Tramway company,
but it is consolation that he was at his
own home when he died. He was in the
prime of life, full of energy, and we are
not informed as to the cause of his death.
His acquaintance was very extensive, and
the announcement of his untimely decease
will bring grief to many.
Spirit Of the Times: Dulsalion the son
of old Hambletonian reduced his record to
2.22H at Mystic Park, Boston, last week.
He has been considered by many of his
sanguins admirers as the fastest entire
son that Hambletonian left. Modoc won
the race, but was forced out in 2.191a, and
Ducalion is said to have shown 2.20. As
he is but recently from stud duties, under
the circumstances, his record is highly
creditable. We recall. however, that Jay
Gould showed public mile in 2.191a, at
Baltimore, some years ago, after his race
with Bashaw Jr. While we are not dispos-
ed to doubt Deucalion's ability, he must
show public form better than 219% to
fulfill the claim of his friends. This he
may do with longer period of continuous
stud duties an entire season since he was
broken to harness, in view of which his linn
tied turf record is unusually good.
Spirit Of the Times: Next week the
seventh annual meeting of the National
association of Trotting Horse Breeders
takes place at Charter Oak park, Hart
ford, Conn, the dates being Oct. 2, and
4. The programme for 1888 comprises
ten stakes,of the aggregate value of $6,495,
very handsome showing, and it is e1-
pected that the races this season will be
of surprising interest, as high class of
colts is entered. Prominent among the
nominations and probable starters are the
California-bred FLIES, Kinda Rose, three
year-old record 2:23, and Bonitu,
two-year-old record 2:2411a, who will be
driven to beat the best records at their
respective ages. These fillies are both
owned by Gov. Stanford, and are trotted
for glory, and both start in the Mali stakes
for three-year- odds, and the Pacific stakes
for four-year. elds. While these fllies are
the stars Of the meeting, they will meet a
number of formidable competitors, bred
in the east, and altogether the meeting
promises to have great interest. The track
is among the finest in the country, and
those who love to witness the best efforts
of the youngsters-and what true horse
man does not?-should put in an appear
anoe at Hartford next week.
