More about O,d Pilot.

Mr.. Kennedy, writing from Montgomery,
Ala, to the Turf, Field and Farm in regard to
Old Pilot, speaks as follows:
/ see, in late number of the Turf, an ex-
tract from Canadian paper in which the
author asks the questions: ''Who knows that
Old Pilot Was Canadians that he was a
pacers'' Now, as the blood of Old Pilot has
proven to be so valuable, and Pilot, DR.,
famous, take it that your readers, especially
the Canadian editor, will be pleased to have
the above questions answered. therefore
answer by saying knew Old Pilot to have
been Canadian Canuck, about fourteen
hands high, as strong horse as ever saw,
and the fastest of any one l ever saw pass
over ground out of a run. l say this because
l frequently rode him when he belonged to
Mr.. d. Heinsohn of Louisville, KY, who
bought him Of Mr. 0. Dubois, of horse fame.
in the olden time, at New Orleans. Mr.. d.
bought him of a Yankee peddler who, as
heard years ago, had shown him trial of
two miles, under saddle, in four minutes
and twenty-seven seconds; but it was thought
to be an impossibility, and that mistake in
time had been made, but match which was
on the carpet fell through in consequence OF
the report of the trial. [ will add that
Old Pilot was also a square trotter, which
Mr.. Heinsohn did not find out for several
years after he bought him. Some years since
/ wrote an article headed Old Pilot and His
Get for the Turf, or old Spirit, I forget which,
in which predicted that the little Black
Ram, as we used to call him, would make
his mark in the trotting world. The Cana
dian editor asks if Pilot ever got any trotters.
I answer yes. don't know whether the
records of that day are kept, but know that
Pilot Jr., Glass Eyes, Clifton Pilot, Spec
dele, gr Bear Grass and gr Maeder, after
ward called Beargrass, were all trotters, and
good ones at that, and not one of the above
named ever struck pace except the gr e
Bear Grass, who as a three-year-old could
both pace and trot close to three minutes.
Frank Chase kept him on pace, and at five
years old was said to have paced half a mile
in tifty-nine seconds. Whether true or not
I can't say, but do Say he was very fast. 1
see my old friend DR.. Herr, who owned Pilot,
Jr., for short time, says he never struck a
pace. Endorse his testimony, and l han
died him for every race he ever started in
except the Nam brino Chief match, which
was after sold my half of him. We have
had the longest, hardest winter known in
these parts for many years, but the robins
are about to nest again.

4 PnLITTCIL CANCER.

The unanimous sentiment of the Virginia
Democrats that the MALONE gang OF federal
officials must be displaced is asentiment that
will meet a ready response from the admin
istration at Washington There has never
been a more shameless prostitution OF fed
eral patronage than that controlled by Ma
HONE in Virginia. MALONE is 4 guerrilla in
politics, aud the leader of the worst gang of
political cut-throats that ever cursed a COM
muuity. lie has never even made an effort to
conceal the fact that he has employed govern
meut patronage in his own state to strengthen
his political hold upon It, but on the con-
trary. with brazen efTrontery, has announced
his policy to be to fiji the Offices in Virginia
with his own partisans. he used his place
in the senate to eXtort from Republican ad-
miuistration the sole power to dispense fed
eral patronage in his state, and If Presi-
dent CLEVELAND wants TO convince the
country OF the sincerity of his declaration to
remove active partisans from office the
quicker he begins the work Of oustiug the
MAHoNR gang in Virginia the better pleased
the whole country will be. MALONE
aud his Reputation party is a deep dis
grace TO American politics and the people of
this country yearn TO see the stain removed.
Let the MALONE cancer be cut out.

SENATOR SHERMAN of Ohio continues to
show the fruits of political repentance.
Ever since brother VAN WICK expounded
the anti-monopoly gospel to brother SHERMAN
the latter has been in penitential mood.
In speech at Cincinnati the other day Mr.
SHERMAN said that his opinion now was that
the country needed more business and less
politics, and that the present administration
meant to conduct the affairs of the nation in
an honest and business way. Mr.. SHERMAN
was an old and hardened Republican sinner,
but the way he is coming around in the light
Of the new Democratic dispensatiou gives
hope that there may be salvation for us.
While the lamp holds out to burn the yilest

MaIey Cobb.
MuIPU GOO
CHICAGO Tribune.


Maxey COBB is fne-looking horse either
in action or repose. He was seen not long
ago by gentleman at his owners stable in
New York city. Mr. Cohnfeldt's barn, al
though well-built and comfortable one, is
deficient in one important respect. The
horses are stabbed in the basement of the
building, and are thereby deprived of the
benefits which accrue from the enjoyment of
light and plenty of fresh air. There is also
the danger of accident from going up and
down steep incline several times day,
and Mr.. Cohnfeldt is more anxious on this
score regarding his horses than on any other.
Maxey Cobb's mate, Meta Medium, is a trim
built bay mare, rather low in stature, but
with fine legs and feet and muscular devel-
opment not often seen in an animal of her
size. She has been driven good deal on the
road in single harness this winter by Mr..
Cohnfeldt, and he has also driven her and
Maxey Cobb together, the team being q
well-known one on the Central park drives.
THE SEASONS WORK.
sI have not yet fully decided" said Mr.
Cohnfeldt in conversation with a gentleman,
''what course I shall pursue with my horses
next season. or course, although Maxey
Cobb now has the fastest stallion record, |
am anxious that he should lower it still far
ther, and am confident that he can do so
with ease In addition to this / should like
to have him and Meta Medium do still
faster mile in harness than has yet been ac-
complished by pair of horses. There are
naturally difficulties in the way Of training
horse for supreme efforts at two different
ways Of going in the same season, but 1 am
in hopes that this can be overcome in the
case of Maxey Cobb. / would like to show
the team through the country during the
coming summer, and have already been in
communication with some members Of the
Washington Park club in Chicago looking to
an exhibition in case there is any trotting on
that track this year. Should / be enabled to
make arrangements with the leading associa-
tons through the country for a double-team
exhibition, will have the the horses worked
for that purpose, but otherwise It is probable
that Maxey Cobb will be trained solely with
view to beating his present record of213I."

Maxey Cobb to Beat the Stallion Record
The Importance of the Horse Breed
ers' Association to Minnesota.
Nebraska State association.

The matter of organizing state associa-
West aud Northwest is daily gaining in pop
ularity. Minnesota, following the example
set by Illinois and other states, has good
one that will accomplish. much for the state,
and will be the means of adding largely 10
the taxable property of the commonwealth.
The president of the association, Mr.. N. W..
Kittson, has invested largely in horses, so
has Mr.. G. A. De Graft, Isaac Staples, George
W. Sherwood, j. 9. Oswald, George Graves,
NJ. I. GraItan, Mr.. Finkle of Moorhead, Mr..
Bradford of Big Lake, and many others
whose names we cannot now call to mind.
All these gentlemen have accomplished much
in increasing the value of horses in
Minnesota. In doing this they have, OF
course, been governed partly by their self
interest, partly by their pleasure and good
deal by desire to improve the value OF the
trotting and running stockof this state. AS
these gentlemen have progressed in their
breeding operations from their small begin
ing to the present size and Importance of
the experiment, this idea of public benefit
has more largely governed their ections and
policy. This was the fundamental idea
which governed these gentlemen in organiz-
ing the Trotting Horse association. The
latest organization of this character is that
in Nebraska. This state has joined her sister
states and will this year be in the
field. The association will hold a
meeting in September, and announces tne
following list of stakes: No. is the Chicago
Horsman stakes for Nebraska three-year-old
colts and fillies, foals for 1882; $40 entrance,
SO forfeit to accompany the nomination,
with 5000 added by the Chicago Horseman
Newspaper company. No. 2, stallion stakes
for stations that are owned in Nebraska and
have made a season of at least twenty mares
in 1885, 500 entrance, SO forfeit to accom-
pany nomination, with 5000 added by the as
sociation. No. 3 is a stake for four-year-
olds, bred in Nebraska; $25 entrance, $40
forfeit, with $3.50 added by the association.
Four stakes are also announced for 1886,
entries for which, however, do not close until
February, 1886.
The Kansas Breeders association is in ex-
celent condition. A letter from the secre-
tary of that organization states that the
stakes for the fall meeting have filed re-
markably well. The stakes closed on April
l, the two-vear-old class has thirteen nomi-
nations; the Chicago Horseman stake, for
three-year-olds has fourteen; fifteen are
named in the four-year-old stake, and the
tve-year-olds have eight entries. This is an
excellent beginning, and augurs well for the
success of the association.

Chicago Breeders Gazette.
notice your IN. T. g." quotes me as
disbelieving that Mr.. DeGraff ''wintered on
hay alone in open Sheds" and that Mr.. Brad
ford was not permitted by circumstances to
practice what he admires.
l will simply say that l never doubted the
truth of Mr.. DeGraff's statement as to the
manner of his wintering stock. The idea
intended to convey was that Mr.. DeGraff WIS
not the kind of a man to be cruel to or neg
lectful of his stock. He was not the kind of
breeder to allow bis valuable brood mares to
''rustle' in sheds on hay, or tneir 'foals to
freeze in their mothers womb" An open
ing is made in the dense forest. good sheds
are constructed, weh-cured hay and fresh
water in plenty is supplied, they are care
fully watched and attended to, entirely pro-
tected from all storms, and as they are about
to foal are carefully taken up and cared for.
This, in brief, is Mr.. DeGraff's manner of
wintering stock. He claims that it
He has bred stock in this state
longer than any other man now
breeding here, and ought to be pretty fair au-
thority. His theory will not do to put in
practice on the prairie, and possibly that

being able to copy the practice he admires.
1 will remark, in passing, that what wrote
in the Gazette OF Jan. % was not at Mr.. De-
Crafts suggestion nor with mis- knowledge;
nor am l so fortunate as TO own horse ever
owned or bred by him: but / could see no
motive actuating Mr. DeGraff in giving the
public the practice other than 70 show those
who bad timber that they could raise stock in
Minnesota without expensive barns filed
with ''dead air space" stone Easements,
foundations, etc, which usually require
mortgages for covering. As be did not in
sist on others adopting his plan, could see
no occasion for raid on ''Elysian," as did
m. T. G." Concluding, would say that
most Of those interested in breeding in this
state know that Mr. DeGTaf has a fine farm
OF about tTo thousand two hundred acres,
and almost a village Of buildings, aud TO
learn that M. T. G.'' has one more elabo-
rate and e1pensively decorated, is gratifying
at least, and admonishes the writer TO take

ing to the former, but at that time no definite
arrangement was reached. The understand
ing now is that while Doble has consented to
take Johnston he does not care to burden
himself with the training and driving of a
large string of horses, and that consequently
the other animals belonging to Commodore
Kittson that took part in public races last
season will be trained by another person
There was an offer made not long ago by Dan
Woodmansee, on behalf of Commodore Kilt
son, to 7. j. Dunbar of Milwaukee to drive
the St. Paul horses this year, but nothing was
done in the matter.
Mr.. Kittson and Mr.. Woodmansee have
both, within few days, stated that no per-
son had been engaged to drive Mr.. Kittson's
horses or any of them, and that no driver
would be engaged for some time to come.

Jay EyesSee and Phallas, strengthened by a
long run in the paddocks near Lexington,
will tarry for few days at Chester Park,
Cincinnati, and then journey east. The
great camping ground is Philadelphia. Maud
S, Trinket and Edwin Thorne are already
there, and Mr.. Cohnfeld is anxious to send
Maxey Cobb over from New York, so as to
hasten his preparation, but the engagements
of Murphy are such that he cannot go to the
Quaker city with the stallion. When Pbal-
las and Jay Eye See shall join the other
stars, Philadelphia will become the focus
of all who take an interest in
the movements OF light-harness horses, and
it will be recognized as the great hot-bed of
gossip. Many sensational reports will be
sent from there by letter and wire. Thus far
the famous trotters have no definite plans.
They are waiting for the track managers to
shape things so as to give all a show. One
of the contests most talked about is match
between the rival stations, and recently Mr..
Nathan Straus offered to bet Mr.. Cohnfeld
81, 600 that Phallas would beat Maxey Cobb
the first time the two came together in a
race. There will be any quantity of banter,
any amount of backing and filing before
July comes and gives way to August.

Turf, Field and Farm: Charles Grant, who
fora SO many years was the trusted groom OF
Maud s., has decided to open a training
stable at Chester Park He did not care to
move his family east from Cincinnati, and as
the chestnut queen will be retired from the
turf the coming autumn, it was thought best
1or him to make the attempt this spring to
establish himself in business which would
keep the pot boiling in the future. Grant has
had the benefit of many object lessons in de-
velopment and shoeing, and he ought to be
able to look after stable of horses. He will
not drive in races, but will fit the trotters for
road and track work. Joe Bunker will join
his string.
Mr.. David Bonner has put Lady Majolca,
1925, by Dictator, dam by Brown Chief and
Dainty, 23019, by Dictator, out of Vic, by
Mambrino Chief, to pole, and they make a
snowy and rapid team. Dainty has been
timed in 2:26A. D. B. is proud of the pair,

It's possible that RIEL's successes have
flushed the entire Indian community of the
Northwest with the belief that the time is
opportune for general uprising. The ad-
vices received by the interior department at
Washington that the Grow, Piegan and Chey-
enne Indians in Northern Wyoming, just
south OF the Grow reservation, were prepar-
ing Tor an outbreak, indicate that there is
blood on the face of the Indian moon With
the possibility of such an uprising among
the Indians of the United States it would be
1oliy Tor the government to allow it to make
such headway and assume such formidable
proportions as it did in Canada before taking
steps TO crush the outbreak The part of
wisdom would be to be prepared for any
emergency, and the very moment signs of
rebellion among the Indians were discovered
let the strong arm of the government
promptly and decisively crush it to the
earth. There is no sort of use in dilly-
dallying policy. An ounce of good ready is
