Potomac, son Of imp. Diomed.
The Chicago Driving Park club has an
nounced the opening of two rich stakes
for 1884 and 1885, being the Northwestern
stallion stake for 1884 for three-year-old
and the Great Northwestern stallion stakes
of 1885 for three-year-olds, now yearlings.
Among the designated stations is Oommo-
dore Kittson's Alarm.
Mr.. B. Beaupre did not keep the little
bay pacing mare Ada B., which he con-
tracted for as mate to frankie B. Upon
being hitched double the mare showed
some signs of vicioasness and SO she was
returned. He is now driving frankie B.
and Black Frank, who are doing some fast
work, going quarters in better than 2:3O.
The advocates of thoroughbred in the
trotter have had their faith in their theory
greatly strengthened by the performance
of the bay mare Maggie F, who kot third
position in the 2:29 class at Pittsburg,
winning the second heat in 2:26. Her
breeding is given as by Newry, thorough
bred son of Lexington, dam an apparently
well-bred mare that her owner claims as
thoroughbred, with a running record of
1:47.
"Vigilant" in The Spirit, in denying
a rumor to the effect that the Monmouth
Park association contemplated forming
stock company, says we find, however, that
Com. Kittson and other gentlemen have
become members of the association and
am informed that any reputable turfman,
who follows the sport as sport, will be
welcomed as member, the idea being to
encourage the breeding and racing of
thoroughbreds and to keep the sport pure.
The ''horse sharks" recently locating in
st. Paul, are no "slouches,' whatever else
may be said of them. Headed off in one
direction, they take a new departure, al
ways coming up smiling. They have
now commenced advertising in the truly
good Minneapolis Tribune, alternating
their ads. with the truly wicked P. P It's
good combination to play, and if they
don't catch suckers it will not be their
fault.
The Breeders Gazette concludes an arti-
Gle under the caption "How the winners
are bred,' with the following sentence: ''It
is trotting blood that wins trotting races,
and when the horses have finished their
journey from Chicago to the Atlantic,
and the Gazette list of winners is compile
ted, the truth of this remark will be even
more fully appreciated than now" Breed
ers will do we'll to keep this truth in
mind when making breeding selections.
Mr. R. 8. Piper, well known to Mime
sofa horsemen as the former driver of
Capt. Herod and other horses belonging
to VIM. VeaZie, Marine Mills, Washington
county, is at present in charge of the track
Chippewa Falls, Wis.,, where he has some
thirteen horses and colts belonging to
himself and others, among them brown
stallion, 6 years, Is hands, 1000 pounds,
four white stockings, by Swigert, dam un-
known, that is very promising, having
shown 2:31 on the half-mile track.
Chinn & Morgan's stable of racers, which
proved such formidable one at the South
ern and Western meetings, seems to have
gotten completely out Of form since reach
ing the East. Markland, who was an easy
winner Of several good races at Chicago,
has been beaten by some very moderate
horses, indeed, at Monmouth Park, and the
other members of the string which have
been started have shown no better, the
cause, it is said, being throat affection
contracted since arriving in the East.
Mr.. D. Swigert, proprietor of the Elmen-
dorf stud, Lexington, KY, has purchased
the celebrated English stallion Prince
Charles, for an out Cross on his Lexington
mares. Prince Charlie is II years old, is by
Blair-Athol, from Eastern Princess by Sur
plics, son of Touchstone and Crucifix, etc.
He ia rich chestnut, with a blaze face,
stands 16:314 hands, and is the most sue
cessful racer ever brought from England,it
being almost impossible at the time of his
withdrawal to find anything that could
beat him.
The average time at the Cleveland trot-
ting meeting was never equaled. Forty
heats were trotted at an average of 2:2O 1-5
te the mile, and thirteen heats were paced
at an average of 2:18 9-13 to the mile
The average of the fifty three heats trotted
and paced was 2:19 1853. Never before
has 2:20 been beaten in the average of
four days meeting, and this one
was protracted to five days. Jay Eye See
dropped his record to 2:15A, Phallas to
2:1515, Wilson to 2:164, Director to PLY,
Fannie Witherspoon to 2:1715, Clemmie
G. to 2:1S4 and Sleepy Joe to 2:194.
The Fergus Falls Telegram, printed at
the home of Matt. Laib, owner of the stall
lion Selkirk, 2:291s, denies the statement
copied into the GLOBE last week
from the Chicago Horseman, to the
effect that the stallion was
on ringing tour in the south under the
name of Dick West. The Telegram says
the stallion is now in that city, and has
been all the season. He is now II years
old, and Mr.. Laib stands ready to back
him against any trott1ng stallion of his
age in the state.
Mr.. Milton H. Sanford, connected with
the running turf since the opening of
Jerome park in 1866, died at Newport, R.
l., on the Sd inst. He was the second
American to try the experiment of sending
American racers across the ocean to COM
pete with the English thorough
bred on his own ground,
his first shipment being in the
autumn of 1875, in which was included
Preakness, Mate, Bay Final and lot of
yearlings, the stable being maintained un-
til 1881, when fast failing health caused his
abandoning further efforts, He was a
native of Massachusetts, born in 1912.
