Sale of pestmont.

The Chicago Tribune of the 18th gives the
following particulars of the sale of Westmont,
that paced a mile on the Chicago driving
park, on Friday, the 18th in 2:01s, with
running mate, both hitched together:
Between the heats of the races at the driv-
ing park yesterday the pacing gelding West
mont, that went a mile with running mate
in 2:01M Thursday, was brought on the track,
the management having requested Mr.. j. NJ.
Hill, who has purchased him for 800, 900, to
allow the crowd to see the horse. When he
came on the track the audience cheered him
repeatedly, showing that the animal which
has made himself famous by lowering all the
records at pacing or trotting is already popu-
lar, and that the new style of racing strikes
the public favorably. The price paid for
Westmont is the largest for which PAGER
was ever sold. but he is considered a cheap
horse at those figures, since his exhibitions
are bound to be the best drawing-card of the
meetings at which he is engaged. Mr. Hill
has already made a contract to show fast
mile at Pittsburg next week, for which he is
to receive 50, 500 and the other tracks in the
central circuit will undoubtedly make similar
arrangements with him.
II once owned the dam of that horse"
Sdlu SOl. JOllH w. OOuiey yesterday, dlloT
Westmont had been exhibited, 'tand his his
tory is worth telling. About ten or eleven
years ago a gentleman named Woodward,
residing in Wheeling, W. Va, wrote me that
he had a mare that had trotted half mile in
lib over the track at that place, which was
poor half mile track. went to see the
mare, and as result of my trip she was
purchased by Col. Richard West, of Ken
tucy, and myself, and trained on the col
onePs farm in Kentucky. She was too
rattle headed, however, for trotting purposes,
SO Col. West bred her to Almont, the pro-
duce being Westmont. He was trained as a
trotter, but not showing any speed at that
gait was sold to John Steiner, of Indianapo-
lis, Ind, and that gentleman's wife used
him for year or more as a saddle horse.
One day in the winter while he was being
driven to sleigh it was found that West
mont wanted to pace, and thereafter he was
allowed to go that gait. He was named by
Mr.. Steiner in honor of Col. West, who bred
him, and Almont, his SIRE"

the ownership of Col. West at Edge Hill, but
at Fairlawn he was introduced to mares of
select form and blood lines, and the produce
of these will keep dropping into the magic
2 80 circle long after the bones of the stall
lion have crumbled tie dust. Almont made
his first season in the stud in 1859, and his
first track winner appeared In 1878. Since
then the list of performers has steadily
grown. The best of his get are Fanny With
erspoon, Piedmont, Aldine, Early Rose,
King Almont, Lillian, Alta, Almonarch and
Allie West. The latter made five year old
record of 1885, sired Jewett, and early passed
over to the majority. Other rising
sires from the loins of Almont
are Hamlin's Almont, Jr., Trouble, Bostick's
Almont, Jr., Col West Almont Chief and
Almont Rather The colts of Piedmont are
regarded as among the most promising at
Palo Alto. The daughters of Almont also
are producers of speed. The dams of Catch
fly and Durango were by Almont. The dead
stallion seemed to nick well with all kinds
of strains. He was strong on thoroughbred
mares, seldom falling to control the action.
The stud fee of Almont was $500, and he
was worth at least S12, 900 year to his own
er. His death occurred on the morning of
the Fourth of July, and he was buried in
front of his stable, right where the sod is
growing over the grave of Cassius M.
Clay, Jr.

The Runners.

"Vigilant," in Wilkes Spirit, has the fol-
lowing:
Eolist, the winner of the Long Branch
handicap at Monmouth, has fallen very lame
1t will be remembered that he pulled up rath-
er sore after the Jockey Club handicap at
Jerome, but improved very fast recently, and
his race for the Long Branch was SO easily
won as to encourage the belief that the stable
had another Eole. The race did not hurt
him, for ON Saturday and Sunday he went
finely in his work, but on Monday morning,
after his exercise, he went so dead lame that
Snedecker fears he will be useless until late
in the season, if at all this season.
Nimrod, too, has broken down, and so
completely that it is thought he will be use
less for the remainder of the season. Mr..
p Lorlllard last season presented him to his
son, who put him into Charlie Thomas
hands, and he did so well as to win four
races. Somehow the bookmakers could never
appreciate the fact that he was horse of
great speed, and, no matter how well he had
performed in his last race, they would be
found offering good odds against him the
next time be started, with the result that,
every time he won, ''the ring' received a
hard blow.
Himaaya's fall, in the Lorilard, to which
we allude at length in our report of the rae
ing, injured him to an extent which has not
been determined. The colt bled at the nose
for nearly an hour after the race, and Farley
the veterinarian who examined him, was
busy with him when we left. 1t was not then
settled whether the flow of blood was from
conclusion, or from the repture of an artery,
but grave doubts were felt as to whether the
colt could be got fit again for some time.

A Steamer RIM Down

ST.. LOUIS Mo-, July 13.-What might
have been terrible calamity, involving the
lives of several hundred people, but which
fortunately resulted in no casualties, occurred
on the river twenty miles below the city at
Z o'clock last night. The steamer Charles
Morgan with between 400 and 500 German
excursionsts on board, had gone down the
river during the afternoon and on the return
trip, when in the neighborhood Of Horse
Shoe bend, collided with the screw steamer
Central City, bound for Memphis with a
cargo of -four and produce. The Morgan
struck the City amidslip, cutting her down,
and she soon sank, bat her crew and all on
board were taken off safely. The excite
meDt on the Morgan was great for time,
but when it was definitely known the
steamer was not injured, the people became
calm and several hours later landed at the
wharf in the city. The captain Of the Cen
tral City says he blew the whistle before she
struck but the pilot of tie Morgan asserts he
did not hear it, and the night being DARK
and a storm raging at the time, be did moi
see the little steamer till too late 10 avoid
her. and he also said the Central City was
not showing proper lights.

The .ForhalL Trophy.

The Ascot gold cup, valued at $4,000, won
by Foxhall in 1882, is held by the custom
house authorities for the al valorem duty of
As per cent. The tax upon the trophy is
over $4,000, and this Mr.. James r. Keene
has declined to pay. There seems to be no
way of admitting the cup free without the
aid of congress, and the secretary of the
treasury has given Mr.. Keene permission to
export the cup to England without the pay
ment of duty, provived it is sent within thirty
days from July 2. When an owner has en-
terprise enough to send an American bred
horse to compete against the best representa-
tives of English breeding farms, and when
that horse reflects credit upon our own
breeding establishments by winning one of
the most cherished trophies, it seems like a
travesty upon justice to require the owner to
pay nearly half of its value to the govern
ment before he can place ii in the show win
dow of Tiffany's to crafty the curiosity of
his countrymen who join in the Broadway
promenade. But such is the case. Con-
gress should pass law admitting free Of
duty trophies won by American horses and
American Athletes in foreign countries.

We had the pleasure of meeting, on Sat
urday last, Mr.. A. H. Lewis, of the Grant
county, D. r., .Revieg, and was very much
gratiied to learn from him that the people of
Milbank have taken steps to organize and
complete what is to be called the Milbank
Driving Park association. The town of Mil
bank is settled by live, wide awake people,
and it is very natural that they should take
this STEP which is the first to be taken in de-
veloping the vast agricultural resources of
that rich and fertile region. This association
viii take into its scope and fostering care,
not only the horse interests of the town, but
also the agricultural interests, which includes
the dairy and all else that goes to make up a
rich, grow ing, thrifty agricultural communi-
ty. The association has already been organ
lied by the election of board of directors
consisting of Frank Hull, NJ. E. Doyle, A. j.
Bleser, j. c. Wood, J. D. Day, w. B. San
ders, A. H. Lewis, A. B. Olson, J. G. Eli
oft, d. W. Biggs, William Shaw and J. A.
Mcbride
The following officers were elected by the
directors:
Frank Hull, president.
M. E. Doyle, vice president.
A. j. Bleser, secretary.
J. c. Wood, treasurer.
The association has purchased twenty-six
acres, and has had half mile track surveyed
and laid out, and will have it all fenced and
graded, and the track in good condition by
fall so as to be ready to hold the county fair
on the grounds this fall. The capital stock
has been fixed at $4,000 in shares of S25
each. The grounds are only half mile from
town on milestone creek.
This is grand beginning and will be one
Of the principal factors in developing the i'm
mense agricultural resources of that region,
and will be the means of adding indirectly
many thousand dollars to the wealth of the
county.

ladies, and the long table was filed again
