Turf, Field and Farm: Owing to serious
loss by death in his family, multitude of
business cares and advancing age, Commo-
dore kittson has concluded to withdraw his
Midway string from the turf. The great
PAGER, Johnston, record 2:061z, heads the
list, and we are glad to be assared that be is
perfectly sound. He ought to be a drawing
card on circuit tracks. Johnston is to the
side-wheel division what Maud is to the
trotting turf. Minnie X, the wonderful va
riety performer, trotting record 2:l9, pacing
record 2:l64, and pacing time in double har-
ness 2:O3H. is also sound and in good condi-
ton. Won Arnim is a handsome, strongly
built stallion, by Sentinel. brother of volun-
teer, and he has record Of 2:19%. Fanny
WitherSpoon has won fame on many tracks
She is an excellent campaign mare and dead
game. Her one-mile record is 2:l6k, and her
two-mile record ALB. 1t is a strong statfe
which Commodore Kittson has decided to
place on the market, and now that tracks are
being put in order for battles small and large
there should be plenty of buyers.
We are informed that Nike Wilkes that was
known here last season as a very fast PAGER,
is much faster than he was last year. Abe
Roernack of Saltwater, who owns him.
expresses great confidence in his speed. He
made a record last year of 2:l61z, and many
people then, judging of his big slashing way
OF going, became satisfied, and so expressed
themselves, that he had il in him to lower
his record. 1t is evident that his owner has
abundant confidence III him. for il is under
stood that he openly declares that he is ready
and willing to start him against the fastest
PAGER in the world. not excepting the great
Johnston. He declares that his horse was
never in better condition, and that he will
certainly lower his record.
Mr.. George p. Smith of Hudson reports that
the weather is fine, and that he is giving his
horses, about twenty-five in number, all the
outdoor exercise they want and they are ali
doing well. The travelling mare Belle f. by
MaSterl0de, that Aid. Long purchased in
Chicago two months or so ago, has been
brought to St Paul and is now in the posses
sion OF Mr.. w. X. Merriam. Whether the
mare was bought for Mr. Merriam by Aid
Long or not does not appear. AT any rate
Mr.. Merriam now owns her, which gives him
trio of fast ones, viz; Belle L, 2:201<; Sill
verton, 2:2014, and A. V. Pantlind 2:20.
Splan declares that Fanny witherspoon is
the most tantalizing horse he ever drove, and
says she acts like some women, for when
she WILL she will, and when she won't she
wont. Her last great race in his hands
was at Chicago, Oct. 3. 1884. She beat Fritz.
the PAGER, in straight heats. Time, 2:Iss<,
2;l91a, 2:l634. the last heat being her best
record. That she has plenty of speed, sound
ness and endurance is unquestionable, as
Woodmansee drove her against time at Chi
cago last fall, two miles in 4:43, which is the
best time on record at that distance.
Chester's complete trotting and pacing
q.
has been received at this Office. Ii is the
second annual supplement TO Mr.. Chester's
great work, in which that most indefatigable
worker IN figures put an immense amount of
work. The work is sent forth to the world by
Mr.. Chester with great deal of Confidence
that ii is letter-perfect, and a book that horse
men can repose entire confidence in in every
respect.
Chinn s. Morgan are backing their Ten
Brock colt Ten Thousand up TO the hilt for
the Kentucky Derby. He did not start last
year. but has worked alongside Dan Fox,
when they owned the pair, and they ought TO
know pretty well all about them.
1t is reported that Mr.. Frank V. Clark has
fast PAGER, and that 2:26 is easily within
his reach.
