The Sale of Commodore kittsOn's
stock OF TTOITers and PAGERS.
1t was announced in these columns
several weeks ago that Commodore Kittson
had determined TO retire from the trotting
turf. and that he would devote such part of
his time as he could afford to the matter
OF breeding trotterS. He has too much ad-
mlaton for horses TO abandon the business
altogether aud proposes to keep his Erden-
helm stable of runners intact and at Mid
way breeding farm. He has, therefore.
determined to offer for sale portion Of his
stock now at Midway. There is universal
regret that the commodore has come to this
conclusion, and it is very natural that there
should be regret. lie has been for years
staunch supporter of the turf, and where
ever his horses have been engaged they have
attracted unusual attention by their brilliant
performances. and several Of his performers
have set the figures so low that they have
never been reached by any other animal TO
this time, The pacing record OF Johnston.
2:06l4. has not been approached. The re-
cord of Minnie Il with running mate, 2:034
and the twO-mile record by Fannie Wither-
spoon, 4:45, as well as the three fastest
heats at pacing by Little Brown jug. No
other horses on the turf have eQualed these
1eats, and it is not believed that there are
any horses that can do it. Fanny Wether-
spoon, Minnie X. Johnston, Won Arnim
and all are in the prime Of life and capable
OF going as fast as ever, with a possibility
OF sui further lowering the record. This is u
grand chance for some one 10 secure some
