he has won renown as a sire of speedy horses
Nevertheless, Commodore Kittsou is 50 over

go, should anyone fancy him enough to pay
the price. Reform is bundle of nerves.
He acted like a peacock when McClosky led
him out. He turns in the left fo-rioot, ow-
ing to cut by treading on a piece OF glass,
but otherwise his action is smooth and
strong. He is horse of symmetry and STYLE,
and is larger than he looks to be at the first
glance. As he is by bennington. out OF

and as his colts are run ming so well he will
be fixture at Erdenheim. He Is growing in
reputation all the time. Woodlands Is
well bred, being by Nutbourne, SON
of The Nabob, out of Whiteface, BY Tur-
nus, and he is well balanced, but l do not
like his head. 1t is coarse, with wicked
eye in it, but bis colts do not thus far betray
evidences Of temper, and they are shaped fer
speed. Dalnacardoch was imported in the
same ship with Woodlands, and be is the
better horse of the two. He is a little light
below the thigh, but otherwise has plenty of
substance and muscle. His heavy crested
neck reminds me Of War Dance, a stallion
which transmitted much of his own hardy
constitution to his offspring. Dalnacardoch
is a dark bay, by Rataplan, son of The Baron,
by Birdcatcher, out of Mayonaise, by Ted
dington, by Orlando, and it is the intention
to give him first class opportunity In the
stud. The other stallion, Midlothian, by Rat
aplan or Strathconan, out of Lufra, by Wind
hound, by Pantaloon, is ten years old and
for sale.
Conspicuous in the band Of brood mares
was the famous PAGER, Little Brown jug.
Woodmansee followed him up closely, aud
when he broke into gallop be loosely said
to Maj. Hubbard that association with the
thoroughbreds had contaminated him. No
horse has more muscular quarters, and to all
appearances he is sound. When be walks
there is n symptom of lameness, but span
the leg with thumb and finger and follow the
tendons and you will discover, if the touch is
sensitive, slight enlargement of the sus-
pensory ligament. The jug will be shipped
to Minnesota during the winter and be put
into training in the spring When we ap-
preached Maggie p. B., the expression Of our
faces was closely watched by McClosky, for
this royalty bred daughter Of Australian is the
dam of the only American bred horse that
ever won the English Derby, Iroquois, by
bennington. She is a well preserved chest
nut, with plenty of vitality and substance,
and there is no sign Of shrinkage, albeit she

eleven foals. noted performer out of her

She looks as II she would continue fertile for
ten years to come. She is used TO admira-
ton and stood quietly while Der good and
bad points were under discussion. But at
Erdenheim it is counted treason TO admit
that she has any bad points. Waltz, who is
Of the same age as Maggie b. B., has a frail
look. There is no mistaking the fact that
she is growing old. She is thin and weak
and one of her legs was bandaged. AS the
dam of Glidelia she is best known TO fame.
She has been stiuted to Alarm. Glidelia her
self looks well among the matrons. Her first
foal, bay FLY by Alarm, was dropped in
March and died in May, and she has paid q
second visit to the son Of Eclipse. When

her breeder, Mr.. A. Keene Richards, grew
eloquent over her blood lines. He sleeps the
unbroken sleep, and the bay mare is now

new coating of loan and sand has been
put on the track, and there we found the
horses which will figure on the turf next year
taking their exercise. At the head of the
long procession was Rataplan, who promises
as four-year-old to be more dangerous than
be was as a three-year-old. He is a grand
looking horse, and the money Of the stable
will be on him when he starts. Woodmansee
startled Major Hubbard when, after scanning
him closely, be remarked that he would fill
the bill, that he was just the horse to run in
harness with Johnston. But fear the great
PAGER will never have running mate if he
waits on Rataplan. Issaquena is a young
mare OF good proportions and she is fast, but
ii is doubtful if she. can ever be brought to
another race. A weak aexor tendon is
difficult thing To wrestle with. Nevertheless,
Issaquena will be trained. Pardee, by Alarm,
out of Sister of Mercy, is as fine a looking
two-year-old as any one would care to see,
but shriveled fore foot impsirs his useful
ness. 1t wires in so much as TO lame him

but think that this foot would never have
been half as bad as it is had it been properly
treated from the time he was foaled. You
cannot begin too early looking after the
feet Laurette, the two-year-old sister of
Issaquena, is shapely FLY, and L observed
that she has good trotting action.
