The Oldest Horse IN America.


Old Turk, the equine pensioner OF
Richmond county, n. Y, still lives and
occupies a stall in the barn of Staten
Islands almshouse. He is the oldest
horse in New York State, or in America
in all probability, as his age can be re-
liably fixed at ~ years, and eN.County
Treasurer James X. Robinson, now IS
years OF age, thinks he can reliably trace
him back lor torty-ilve years. The ami
NAL is quite a curiosity, particularly to
veterinarians, who are anxious to see how
long the veteran will live. and
thus settle the mooted question OF
equine longevity. Originally iron
gray in color, Old Turks coat is now
snow white, lie is toothless aud has to
be fed on soft food. MIR. Robinson
says he knew Old Turk twenty-five years
ago, when he was "crack trotter,
owned, he believed, by Captain Jabob
II. Vanderbilt, and known as Guy Scu-
It's. He was one OF the wonders of the
old New Dorp race course, and was pur.
chased by Vanderbilt from Judge Clau-
sen, who lived ON the old Richmond
road near the New Dorp lane. \
proposition made some years ago to sell
old Turk, and thus save expense
to the county, created quite sensation
and evoked lively newspaper comment.
Nearly one whole day was devoted to
a discussion of old Turks case by the
Board of Supervisors, and his name also
figures on the records of the Superin.
tendents of the Poor, who talked once
or twice OF selling him. Thomas Nc
Cormick, Keeper OF the Almshouse, says
that when Major Barnett, Superinten-
dent of the Poor, proposed to sell him,
u number OF citizens clubbed together
and agreed to purchase him and
pay for his keeping rather than allow
him to be disposed Of He had done
good service to the county, and t WIS
finally decided to pension him. Sin 'e
that time he has done no more work
than was necessary to keep him in con.
dition. This would make him at least
~ years OF age. Mr.. Robinson, who
says several showmen have tried to pur
chase him, is writing history OF the
animal for inclosure in the box TO be
opened at Staten Islands tri-centennial
in 1883. Mr.. Robinsan offered to pay
for a set of false teeth for Old Turk, but
no one could make n cast for the suction
plate, and so Old Turk has to feed on

as if the only hope for the city bettering

now that the Scott law has been declared
