Kentucky Li0e Stock Record: March has
come in like a lion and there is no change
for the better in the weather. Snow fell
Friday, Saturday and Sunday to the depth OF
some eight inches. The weather was quite
cold Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday
cold rain began to fall which turned into a
sleet, and while we write the houses, ground
and trees are covered with heavy coating
of ice, the trees look like they were enamelled
with glass. This weather prevents horses
from even taking walking exercise except
under shelter, and almost suspends training
operations.

Turf, Field and Farm, 18th: We shall pub
lish in our next issue a portrait of Seely's
American Star, which was drawn for ''Ches-
ier's Complete Trotting and Pacing Record
by A. j. Schultz, This famous old horse
was never portrayed in life, and the artist
was obliged to construct sketch from the
recollections of those who knew the horse
well, and from comparison of living subjects
but the result was great success, if we can
believe the testimony of ''old inhabitants. -
There will be large extra demand for this
number, and dealers should send in their
orders. Its publication will be of value, be-
sides gratifying the general desire to see a
picture of this great sire of speed producing
mares, in that it will convey an accurate no
ton of the style Of pictures in Mr.. Chester's
book.
