devoted and accomplished wife is known
to the profession, have taken up their
quarters at Midway, and both appear we'll
6leased. especially John, who is always
bappies when busiest, and he is full OF
business now in looking after the
preliminary preparation of the large
string of trotters and PAGERS over which ne
is to pull the ribbons the coming season.
He speaks in more enthusiastic terms OF
the superb condition in which he finds
the horses. all of whom he says are winter
ing splendidly. He is giving them regu-
lar road work-for which the excellent
sleighing is most admirably adapted
which will be increased as the season ad-
Vances.
IT is probable the Midway string OF
trotters and PAGERS will make their advent
for the season of 1888, in a circuit includ-
ing St. Louis, Louisville, Lexington and
other Southern points; then to Chicago
and the grand central circuit. The repre-
sentatives of the stable to appear IN the
early Southern circuit, will depend, large
". of course, upon the condition OF the
horses at the time of closing entries.
YEARS DAY
the brown mare, Fleming Girl, eight
wears old, sired by Paddy, son of Mambri-
no Patchen. dam Annie Belt, by Amerious,
son of Alexander's Abdallah, was attacked
with Inflammation Of the lungs, and has
since been dangerously sick, though conf
dent hopes were entertained yesterday of
her recovery. The fact that the mare was
in foal made the case moro critical.
She was attended by DR.. Richard
Price, of this city, a graduate
of the Montreal Veterinary college, with,
DR.. Lyford, of Minneapolis, as consulting
surgeon. 1t was intended, had the mare
not proved in foaI, to have trained and
started her through the circuits the COM
ing season, her performances last spring
being very disappointing; but her present
illness, and the now established fact that
she is in foal, puts an end to this
expectation. She was purchased for
$4,000, after showing fast mile,
close to the pos, and if she lives it iss the
determination to give her an opportunity
to show such speed in public.
DIS. PRICE and Lyford, veterinary sur
geons, have recently made most critical
examination of the legs, feet and should
ers of Little Brown Jug, and give 1t as
their opinion that he Is all right
again, his lameness last season
being merely a temporary ailment
caused by bad shooting or a bruise OF his
foot. In view of the speed shown last sea-
son by Buffalo Girl, Flora Belle, Fuller and
others, and his own poor performances, it
is presumed the Jug will not be barred
from the free for all pacing class the com
ing season.
AMONG the visitors to Midway Friday
were a party Of Winnipeg officials, con-
sisting of Mayor Logan, and Alderman
W. j. Owens, Geo. D. McVicar, Ed. Drury,

eron, james Burridge, William Dryden,
Christ Montgomery, J. A. Wright and ]. B.
Moore; City Engineer Parr, Chief of Police
Murray and Messrs. P. Grant and O. Il.
Bell Ben WoodmanseS, superintendent,
and John Splan, received and chaperoned
the visitors, showing and briefly sketching
the history of the turf celebrities there
congregated. It Is needless to
say the Winnipeggers werehighly pleased
with their visit. The gentlemen we're es-
pecially complimentary in their remarks
of the attention shown them by Splan,
who it would appear from their express
sions, is most pleasant and interesting
mine host" Another prominent visitor
on the same day was Mr.. freeman, Of New
York city, and bride, charming little lady
from our sister state of Wisconsin. Mr..
Freeman is quite a horse man himself,
having at one time owned the bay gelding
Star, a grand circuit performer. Mr..
Freeman was enthusiastic over the stable
arrangements he pronounced the
nearest perfect he ever saw-end the fine
condition of the equine celebrities there
cOngregated.
THB experience of the last summer hav-
ing demonstrated that Midway is over
stocked, Commodore Kittson has decided
to dispose of a number of his very choice
brood mares, and to this end has arranged

tion with other blooded trotting stock, to
be made by W. H. Wilson, at his stock
