FOALS AT MIDWAY.

FOALs AT MIDWAY
Sunday the 9th, the bay mare Alice
Ring, foaled 1876, by Ringmaster, son of
Ringold, by Boston, dam by Cassius NJ.
Clay, Jr., dropped bay iIly to Blackwood,
Jr' Yesterday morning the Sd, the brown
mare Romney, foaled 1876, sire Volunteer.
dam Hindoo, by Sayer's Guy Miller, son
of Rysdyk's Hambletonian, dropped
brown colt, no white, also to Black
wood, Jr. This latter foal is of tine size
and as his breeding is really gilt edged, he
will probably be preserved entire. There
have now been eleven foals at Midway
this spring, and all are in good shape.
SINGULAR DFFoRMITY.
Sunday the 9th, there was dropped at
the stock farm of Geo. W. Sherwood of
this city,-farm located at Sheldon, Ia,-
by mare sired by
Hughy Angus, son of Swigert, a bay
colt to Baymont, son of Alden Goldsmith
| with five legs. The deformity commences,
from the inside of the knee of the left
fore-leg, the double formation being con-
| nected until just above the ankle, where
| the two become distinct, the only differ
ence between the two being that the inner
is trife smaller and shorter than the
regular limb, so that the foot does not
touch the ground when he moves around.
The colt is otherwise perfectly formed,
large, vigorous and active, and walks
and runs without apparently suffering
| any inconvenience from the extra limb
MIR. Sherwood will have the colt examined
by some leading veterinary surgeon, and
If 1t can be done safely he will probably
decide to have the extra limb, or at least
that portion distinct from the main leg,
removed.
BOARD OF REVIEW,
The Board of Review of the National
Trotting association. recently in session in
Chicago, had two cases before it affect
ing Mlnnesotians. One was that of L. J.
Phelps, Hutchinson, Mimi, VS.. The Fargo
Irottlng association, an application for
removal of suspension of himself and bay
mare Capitola. His case as stated in the
official report and on which the board de-
MED the application, is as follows: APP
pllcant having been suspended for nom
payment of an entrance fee, denied hay-
| ing made the entry, which denial was Wig
ourously contradicted by the secretary of
the association, who filed the original
| entry, written and signed by the applicant"
| The other case was that in which George
~. Sherwood. of this city, applied to have
MS mare, Rambletonian Maid, relieved of
the record of 2:3812, given her at Sioux
City, Ia, by the judges changing her
driver when she had won two heats easily
in z:5112 and 2:47, the mare having been
driven out by the driver put up behind her
in order to get her out of the slower class.
IN which she would have remained had she
| been driven simply to win the heat. Of
this case the board, after stating the case,
| say: "From the evidence presented the
| board could not see that ii has authority to
grant this application, and the matter was
| continued to the next meeting for further
investigation The action of the board
shuts Mr.. Sherwood out of all hope of any
| personal relief, as the mare is entered in
| the Iowa circuit, and, of course, will have
to start IN accordance with the record
made at Sioux City, but it is to be hoped
the board will give the matter serious con-
| slderatiOn before deciding it has no au-
| thorlty to remedy wrong of this kind.
| Otherwise the owner of horse is left at
the complete mercy of judges of National
| association tracks-no matter how incom-
| petent or even dishonest they may be.
| Heretofore it has been understood that
| judges had no contral of the handling of a
horse in the race so long as the driver was
obeying the regulations and driving his
horse to win. But if this injustice is not
corrected by the board, it will be notice to
| judges that they are justified in removing
a driver and substituting some one un-
friendly to the owner of the horse, at any
time, whether proVication has been made
for such a change or not.
