removal Of Distinguished Animals from
Home Breeding Farm.

Union Bridge Carrot Co., Md.,) Index.
On last Friday Mr.. X. K. Alcock horse
trainer, with five assistants, reached this town en-
route to Mr. Window Walden's breeding farm,
for the purpose of taking two carloads Of famous
racers to George P. Lorillard's great horse farm
at Long Branch, N. j. Two baggage cars were
chartered from Adams Express Company by Mr..
LoriIlard. They were well and suitably fitted up
with stalls managers, sawdust, etc., at Baltimore,
for the purpose, and placed upon the switch at
Middeburg for loading Twelve animals were
shipped-seven Mares three colts and two stall
Mons. OF the mares, four were imported from
Europe, and are said to be among the most noted
racers on the American turf. Of the males, one
was Tom Ochiltree, we'll known in this country as
a horse of feetness and endurance. The other
was the unequaed "Sensation," whose per-
formances upon the race track in several contests
have never been excelled in this any other
country by his kind. Mr.. Lorilard was offered
$50, 900 for him some time ago, but declined the
offer. Since then he is not inclined to part with
him at any price. He is dark bay, of medium
size, with fierce, uneasy eyes, black name and
tail, and is smooth and neat in form, showing
great muscular development. He is, we think,
one of the best proportional and most symetricaly
formed blooded horses we have ever seen, and be-
ing very spirited and nervous, he passes much of
his time In the staoie paving, humping around
the stall and biting himself in his sides his TANKS
showing at this time many marks from his wicked
mouth. On account of his viciousness but few
stablemen feel safe in approaching him. Mr..
Dan McCarty, the stable boss at Walden's farm,
was the only one to enter his stall or handle him
while at that place.
The two cars were brought to this place by q
special engine and were attached to the one
o'clock passenger train and taken to Long Branch,
via Baltimore.
Window Walden's stables are composed of up
wards of seventy horses, many of which are colts
now in training for the turf. Some two and three
yearlings are very handsome and quite promising
in speed. They will no doubt be conspicuous in
next seasons races. The farm is located three
ssraes est of this nlaea and ,quite near Middle
burg. Erected upon it are all the most iuipfOs
buildings known to bIooded horse breeders. They
are supplied with pure water, drawn from an
arte ian well, and face a good seven eighth of d
mile race-track, eptical in form and encircled
by two fences, with his large brick mansion stand
ing on an elevation near by, from which a full
view of the barns, stables and track can be had
at will. The farm, containing nearly 225 acres
is highly improved. Smooth and undulating, of
high and heaithlul location, and from almost
every part of which one can gaze upon picturesque
scenery, stretching out upon wide expanse of
fine agricultural country for miles and miles away,
with the Blue Ridge range Of mountains, about
II miles distant, in full view from Virginia to
Pennsylvania.
