record 2:3l the latter horse having been
sired by rdgeling pillow horse. In 1872,
at l6 years old, he was purchased by Mr..
w. III. E. Smith and taken to New Lon
don, Ia. In 1876 he was taken by Mr..
Smith to California, where he got many
good colts; the last of his get being
Ralph Bugbee, who when four years old,
won three races in three consecutive
days, trOtting eleven heats and making a
record of 2 81 1-2, in the last heat. If
John Bull had received proper training.
he would, no doubt, have made fast
trotter, as Mr. Smith says he drove him
in :3G, after he got him. The breeding
of this horse is now being traced in Ken
lucky. Joe Bassett's dam, Zephyr. was
by Champion Golddust, who was bred bv
Mr.. l.. l.. Dorsey of Louisville. Nv, and
sired by old Golddust; I'd dam by Ice
berg, by Zero, by Boston, etc. The
breeding of the dam of Billy Bashaw is
being traced. 1t is. however. settled that
she was sired by one of two horses: by a
fine brown horse that was brought TO
Lee county, Ia, in 1851, by John Tru-
man (afterward a noted guerrilla in Mis-
sourD or by gray pacing stallion, that
was bred at Lexington, Ky, and brought
to Lee county by James II. Lapaley. The
man who bred the mare is known to have
bred to both horses. and the matter can
not be decided until he is heard from.
While Joe BasSett was always considered
an extra good horse and trotted mile
over half mile track in , 40, he never
had anything but common mares: none
of his colts being trained until Johnston
came to notice: since then several OF
them have been put into training and give
encouragement for speed. Mr.. Woodruff
has six colts by him, foaled 1885. some
from good and some from indiffer
emily bred mares. While all OF
these colts are good ones; one from
trotting bred mare shows unmistakablt
pacing speed, and another is more than
common trotter.

JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir " our letter duly received.
The Randall you speak of is dead died
about ten years ago. knew him well.
There may be some of the family who
knew of the old mare. When | am over
that way ! will inquire. don't take any
more stock in Flora's or Wallace's pedi-
gree. After long twist and considera-
BILE figuring he made in my estimation
and Others that are posted, a wrong sire
for old Flora. The man that held the
horse that covered the Moss mare. dam
of Flora, now lives, or did live a year
ago, and tells the whole business straight.
WEIGH, the then owner of the Moss mare,
supposed she was bred to Bogus Hunter,
as was undoubtedly his wish. and never
knew to the contrary. In all the stock
this Bogus horse ever got there was
never a promising one in the lot. Wal
lace's pedigree may do to pass around to
strangers, but it never will make half Il
meal for Us Sangcrtield people. If can
hitch on to anything of importance in
regard to the pedigree of the Moss mare
or Randall will let You know.
Respectfully,

From Dunton's spirit of the Turf.
As understand it, Old Stranger was
got nj some place near Cleveland, O.,
under the following circumstances. \
man travelling through Ohio with a thor
oughbred race horse, permitted his horse
to serge mare by imp. Bacchus. The
produce was Ohio Stranger, so named ON
account of the circumstances under which
he came into the world. He grew up to
be a sorrel PAGER, and it is said by good
Judges that he was the smoothcst PAGER
ever seen. He made a record of 2:lS
before 1850, and was sold for $1,000 and
taken to New York to the Worlds fair,
and some time after that died in Brook
ly from poison. 1t is claimed about here
that Old Stranger was the first horse in
the world to make a record as fast as
2:lS. Young Stranger by Old Stranger
was also a sorrel pacing stallion, and he
got horse called Stranger that was
black, with sprinkling of white hairs.
He was bred by Lyman Knowles of La
Grange, Lorraine Co., Ohio; foaled Sept.
20, 1865, and was sold to p. W. Knowles
and went to Michigan, standing at Jack
son and other places. He was at Pratt
q Gilman's stable at Hastings, Mich, in
1850. That horse made record of 40,
and paced a trial at jackson, Mich, of
, :32 in 1877. This latter horse sired a
stallion colt, which was sold to Waldron

THERE seems to be some disagreement
of the different authorities in regard to
the sire of the brown mare Helen Wilkes.
He has got into the papers as the ''Carle-
ton Colt" and as the "Carleton Colt he
will doubtless be hereafter known, al
though parties who knew the horse all
through his young days say he was
known as the Smith Horse. lie was bred
by DR.. Albion Bradbury of Hollis, and
got by Don Fulano, son of Gen. Knox.
DR.. Bradbury sold him when lG months
old to c. W. Pitts of Shapleigh, and he to
John Smith of WATERFORD. and he was
known as the Smith Horse. Smith sold
him to parties in Portland. 1t is claimed
that his dam is by Hollands Ethan Allen.

In reply to yours of recent date, will

four years in the neighborhood where
Chief (Surprise) was owned from the
time he was Il three-year old until |
bought him. The horse was brought to
Centralia, ILL.,, by horse and mule driv-
er called AyerflaX Il am not certain as
to the spelling of the name.) He used
him as saddle horse, and sold him to ID.
Leavitt of Centralia, engineer on the ILL
nyis Central II. Il. Mr.. Leavitt owned
him, think, until the spring of 1881, and
sold him to Robt. Tate, liveryman, of
Centralia. | bought him of Tate in July,
1881. The breeding given by Ayerflax
CD was by Blood Chief; dam by PAGER
called White Cloud. Ayerflax bought
this colt at or near Kinmundy, H., and
DR.. Smith of that place claims that the
colt was brought to kinmundy by NOV
ers from Kentucky. The colt was fol-
lowing the dam, and the dam by accident
had Il leg broken, and was left at Kin
mundy. DR.. Smiths story | only heard
after the horse had been sold. | don't
think the breeding can be established.
His first race was in 1879, | think, for
green horses, at Ccntralia. H., three
starters. which he won. 1 don't know
what name, ii any, he was'entered under.
This, think, was in September, the
week after he started in race at Mt.
Vernon. ILL.,, getting second money. In
the fall of 1850, first saw the horse at
Centralia, H., in the free-for-all pace:
