showed mile in $3.50, and four months
later, having in the mean time been handled
by trainer, he could do the distance in
$40. The following spring, 1870, he was
again placed in training, his speed increas-
ing SO rapidly that in July of that year he
showed half-mile in 1:1215, being pur-
chased two days later by Gov. Stanford for
3d. 500 in cash and mare valued at $500.
In October of the same year his new owner
drove him mile to a wagon In 2:30A, be-
ing obliged in the circuit of the track to go
around two scrapers at Work there. The
united weight of the wagon and driver was
exactly half that of the horse that pulled
them mile in this time, but the hard work
OF his youth had made Occident's muscles
IKE iron, and he was weight-puller par
excellence
vi his subsequent career it is not neces-
sary to speak at length here, since his days
on the turf were few. In 1873 he made
record OF 2:16A, doing the last halfmile in
l:oo4. Bad feet debarred him from trot-
ting many races. and the last ten years of
ms life were passed in ease and comfort

Northwestern Breeders.

Last week the Northwestern Trotting
Horse Breeders association held its annual
meeting at the Palmer house in Chicago.
What was done at this meeting was told at
the time by telegraph. The meeting is re-
garded as a representative one and was at
tended by some of the leading breeders of
Michigan, Illinois. Indiana, Wisconsin,
other matters disposed of was the defining
of location of the colts breeding. 1t was
determined that hereafter the colt shall be
considered bred in the state where the serv-
ice of the sire was received. This decision
appears to most horsemen as the correct
one, but whether it is or not, one thing is
certain, and that is that the much-vexed
question is settled, and everybody knows
what the law is and what can be relied
upon.

George w. sherwood's stock Farm.

To the Turf Editor of the Globe:
F. c. Avery and A. B. w. Payne of
Hutchinson, Mimi, c. 81. Piper of Garden
City, J. c. and A. B. Curryer of Lake
Crystal, Blue Earth county, Minn., have
just returned from very satisfactory visit
to the Sherwood stock farm, located two
and one-half miles west of Sheldon, Ia,
where such stations as Woodford Wilkes,
by George Wilkes, record 2:22, dam by
Woodford Mambrino, record 1921 Is: Bay
mont by Alden Goldsmith, dam by Swigert
and Memory by MambrinO Gift dam by
Swigert, are kept at the head of the stud
for the breeding of trotters and fine carriage
horses and roadsters, many of which are to
be found there. Woodford Wilkes is 8
years old, stands 16I hands high, weighs
1, lao pounds and is trotting horse in every
respect from the ground up, the very
best of feet, legs, body, muscles, courage,
disposition and gait and, judging from the
half dozen of his get on his twO-year-old
farm, there is no question but that his
chances-all things consdered-will have
few peers in the Northwest as sire of the
very best of trotters; and barring accidents
he will prove fortune to his owner, Mr.
George w. Sherwood of st. Paul.
Baymont stands 1871 hands high, weighs
1000 pounds and is a lofty fellow, with a
great, open gait and the sire Of quite a
number of youngsters with considerable
promise; but if his get are not all trotters
they are sufficiently large to make fine car
rage horses.
Memory is 151 hands high, weighs 1,o4o
pounds and is very blocky, stylish young
stallion, with very strong way of going.
Mr.. Sherwood has between twenty and
thirty spring colts by the different sires
frome fine-bred dams which it will pay any
lover of the horse to see. His son, E. A.
Sherwood, is making courteous, specnla-
tive superintendent, and with such breed
ing stock as is to be found there the time is
not far distant when it must become popu-
lar and n1Oftable. OBSERVER.

Trips.
To the Editor of the Globe:
Can or will you aid the patrons of the
st. Anthony hill street cars in procuring
better service than we are now receiving?
Here is my experience on Dec. and it has
occurred frequently before: 1 arrived at
the corner of Western and Laurel at 1852
a. NJ, waited until 9:1S a. m. for car and
got stand-up seat on the rear platform.
Arrived at the corner of Fourth and Sibley
at S:4S a. M; time, 81 minutes. Return
ing, l got OH car at Fourth and Sibley at
6:13 p. M, rode to Fourth and Jackson,
when the horses got stalled and could not
pull the car on account Of having no shoes
on their front feet. We stayed there thir-
teen minutes (no stove in the car) and ar
rived at the corner of Western and Laurel
avenues at $3.50 p. NJ; time, 46 minutes. I
am beginning to think with others that this
street-car line needs manager and very
badly, too. PATRON.

One of the Shore brothers, the we'll
known horse trainers, is employing little
time every day in breaking team of elks
in Denver. They are nearly two years old,
and were captured about year ago in
North Park. They are beginning to drive
quite well, and Mr.. Shore says will, when
thoroughly trained, be able to trot 100
miles day with light wagon or buggy
1t is well known that the natural gait of
the elk is a trot. and that they cannot be
caught by hunter mounted on an ordinary
horse. Mr.. Shore states that no animal
ever tried his patience so before. He found
no difficulty in rendering them gentle and
docile, but when harnessed they were dis
posed to sulk, or when they would go at all
it would be so slow that they might as well
have stood still. He then hitched one at a
time with horse, and in that way encour-
aged them to trot in harness. and before
long will be seen on the streets of the city,
the most novel, if not the fastest, driving
team in Denver. The Shore Bros stables
are in the old Jail building, West Denver

More of the George Wilkes Stock.


A writer in the Chicago Horseman who
has just visited some of the breeding stables
in Kentucky, writes as follows of George
Wilkes stock:
II visited the celebrated Fair Lawn stock
FARM the property of Gen. W. 7. Withers.
Through the courtesy of his son was shown
through his stables. With such stations as
Happy Medium and Aberdeen, and by
strictly adhering to the ''one-price" system
he has built up an enviable reputation. At
Ash Grove stock farm, 1 met the genial
proprietor, Mr.. W. l.. Simmons. This is
the last home of the greatest sire of trotters,
the wonderful George Wilkes; here he lived
and died. His reputation is fully sustained
by his sons Jay Bird and Eagle Bird, and
his daughters Early Dawn and Castralia
Truly it has been said ''speed seems to
spring from the ashes where George Wilkes
sleeps" At Forest Park met it's veteran
owner, DR.. Herr. If we judge his stock
by his stations, Sir Walter, by Aberdeen,
and Arnold. they are certainly worthy of
mention. His stock is in good condition,
and the visit fully repaid me. All of these
breeders expressed their intention of enter
ing their stock in W. T. Woodlands Com
binatiOn sale.

Death of Belle Patcheu.

Belle Patchen, brown mare. foaIed in
1874, and got by Mambrino Patchen. out
of Sally Chorister, by Mambrino Chorister.
by Malnbrino Chief. died at Lexington. the
property of the Bryant Hurst estate, on
Monday, Nov. 49, Her dam produced
Protiene, 2:1S, Belle Brassfield, 2:2O, and
Homer, sire of Lelah Fl, 2:2415. AS two
year-old, Belle Patchen defeated Kentucky
Wilkes, Fannie Witherspoon, Parana,
Noontidc and others, all of which obtained
in later years lower records than herself.
Her own record, at the time she was re-
tired from the turf, was 2:3OA. The most
memorable race in which Belle Patchen
started was that of the Kentucky club meet
ing at Louisville in July. 1879. 1t was in
the $40 class, and Bonner Boy won first
and Belle Patchen second money. Both of
these horses were protested on the ground
that DIR. Herr, who entered and drove Belle
Patchen, was part owner of Bonner Boy.
When the protest was filed with the judges
-Messrs. West, Green and Busbey-Dr.
Herr, whose integrity no one has ever pre-
sumed to question, made oath that he had
sold the racing qualities of Bonner Boy and,
therefore, had no interest in his turf career.
He further made oath that he was simply
employed to drive Belle Patchen, she being
owned by Bryant Hurst, and that he had no
share in her winnings. The Turf, Field
and Farm, in the controversy which
followed, earnestly contended that DR..
Herr, having disposed of the turf use of
Bonner Boy, had no control of him in purse
races, consequently was privileged to enter
and drive any other horse against him. The
case was carried to the board of review,
and, after three years of elaboration and
delay, the judicial body decided that both
Bonner Boy and Belle Patchen were ineli-
gible for the reason that, according to Rule
8, the man who drove one Of them eXer-
cised some control, by virtue Of part own
ership, over the other. This view, it was
added, lis in accordance with previous rul-
ings Of the board" Rule s, to which refer
ence was mace, reads:
As many horses may be entered by one
party. or as many horses trained in the same
stable as may be desired, but only one that
has been owned or controlled wholly or partly
by the same person, or trained in the same
stable within ten days preceding the race, can
start in any race of heats.
The construction put upon the rule by
the board, we still contend. is harsh. New
ertheless, as it is empowered to interpret
the law, and as it has established prece-
dent, tuere is nothing to be gained by kick
ing against the pricks. Under the rigid
construction of the rule no latitude is given
to those who actually control two horses in
the same contest while pretending to the
contrary. Belle Patchen was bred right for
brood mare. and her early death is to be
deplored. She was the dam of Baron
Wikes.-Turf, Field and Farm.
