Col. H. q. McDowell's stallion King Rene,
sire Of Fugue and other fast ones.

his sixty-seyenth year, is wintering seventy
six horses. He sold $40, $50 worth of horses
last year.

bought of A. ]. Alexander the bay FLY Can
tata, foaled 1882, by Belmont, dam Minuet
by Harold; second dam Cracovrenne by
Alexander's Abdallah.
Bair hitched Maud S to sleigh during the
recent fall of snow in Cincinnati, and the
mare worked well, taking her jogging exer-
else kindly and not minding the sound of
the bells.
Mr.. w. c. France has concluded to back
water in his proposition to trot Harry Wilkes
against Jay Eye See, thinking that the boy
gelding will find plenty of competition in his
class. Mr.. France will have in training
next season Harry Wilkes, Sister Wilkes,
Albert France, Jessica Wilkes and Shocks
all but the last-named by George Wilkes, he
being by Lumps, son Of George Wilkes.
Ed. Bither and Counsellor Crawford Wis
tied Lexington. KY, last week and saw that
Phallas and Jay Eye See were properly shod
preparatory to the commencement of their
jogging, which begins this week. Both these
noted trotters are reported to be in fine con-
dition, and Bither says they will give a good
account Of themselves when the season
opens. Should the leading tracks follow
the foolish plan adopted last year Of not
offering special purses for sensational per-
formers it is probable that the Case stable
will give exhibitions on its own hook, as was
done in 1884.
The trotting associations Of the Eastern
circuit have decided on the following dates

ambletonian, purchased from Benjamin

A prominent American breeder who has
returned from Europe, and who examined
many of the finest stations there, says:
''The best-looking horse saw was Flageoiet
but the price on him was 100, 900 francs, an
absurd price for so old q horse. Tristan is a
graud-ooking horse, has the finest legs l
ever saw, but has vicious looking head, aud
is, in fact, an awfully bad-tempered brute.
l was disappointed in Peter; he has not
length enough. In fact, did not see any
stallion that to my eyes came up to Long
fellow and Ten Brock in looks" Flageo-
let is by Putus, dam La Favorta, by Mon
argue, and is the sire of Mr. Scotts great
Rayon d'Or, was foaled in 1870, and is there
fore 10 years old.
Turf, Field and Farm: Oakland, which is
across the bay from San Francisco, is re-
garded as a desirable place of residence, be-
cause the trade winds do not sweep over II,
and the flowers are in full bloom as early as
March. We have pleasant memories of drives
through the streets and suburbs, aud of
mornings spent at the Oakland Trottiug
park. Hundreds Of squirrels, sitting saucily
at the entrance to their burrows, challenged
attention in making every circuit of the track
and the breeze brought to us the fragrance of
the orange, the almond the fg and the
eucalyptus tree. The track Is near the home
OF Mr.. Simpson, and the colts bred bv him,
which have carved their way to fame, re-
ceived their preparatory work on it. The
location is one OF the finest on the Oakland
side Of the bay, and the report comes from
San Francisco that the park, containing sixty
acres, has been purchased by gentleman
who will improve il aud keep il as a race
course and fair grounds. We cannot see vhy
meetings well sdvertised and well managed
should not prove successful at Oakland, aud
it is to be hoped that the new purchaser will
realize all that be anticipates.
Turf. Field and Farm: In letter to rs Mr..
J. c. McFerrau writes from Glenview: 'El-
vira has not had harness on since last fall,
and she has been out on grass every day
through the winter. She Is in good healthy
condition and night in every particular. I
expect TO start her in the hve-year-old class.
and have great faith in her ability to beat
any fve-year-old that starts against her
Nusbreaker win De ready to star; With any
snd all two-year-olds. I have two two-vear-
old FLIES BY NutwOoi that are very good and
viii be handled this season. shah sell all
the crop excepting these two, and l would
sell them cid | not want 70 develop them

youngsters were ever offered at public arc-
tiOn as Veeeh and myself viii sell this spriag.
shah have some Cuyier aud Psueoast FLIES

bright one.
