TWO NOTED HORSES.
what theOwner Says of PhaIlas
and Jay.Eyc.See.


Although neither of Mr.. Cases great
horses, Jay-Eye-See and Phallas, have
been seen on the turf during the present
season, so fresh is the memory OF their
performances still in the public mind
that any thing concerning them will be
read with interest. interviewed at st.
Louis recently regarding them, Mr.. Case
said: "Do you know l think more of
Phalias than of Jay-Eye.See, much as /
admire the latter? l first purchased
Jay-Eye-See from Colonel M. West, on
his farm near Georgetown, Kentucky.
In company with I'll. ID. Mckinney, 1
first saw the horse in the Spring of 1880.
He was then q two.year old. We chased
him in the lot with several others, liked
his movements-in fact, considered him
o wonderful trotter-and purchased him
with lot of six at $500 head. Ed
Bither, the driver of Jay-Eye-See and
Phallas, can tell you more about their
races than can. AS for Jay y-Eye-See,
l have no hesitancy in stating why he
has not appeared this season and his
present condition.
'Early in the season his feet were not
in good shape, and We concluded to run
no risks, and that it would do him good
to turn him out for season. He is
now as near right as horse can be, and
l firmly believe will break his record of
2:l0 next year. While frankly say
that 1 think more of Phillas as horse.
yet the pet of the family is Jay Ely e.See.
He responds promptly to the call of any
of us, and is especially devoted to Mrs.
Case, and will rub his head against her
shoulders and in various other ways
mutely demonstrate his affection and
devotion. Like spoiled child, he is
immoderately fond of sugar, and after
being given lump will coolly go
through your pockets and wherever he
can get his nose, searching for more.
"Yes, the story about my having
kissed Mrs. Case when Jay-Eye.See
made his record of 2:lO at Providence,
R. l., is true, but / will explain. 1 held
the watch on the heat, as did many
Others, and was naturally worked up to
q high pitch of excitement when saw
that it recorded 2 10. Some one said
that 2:l0 was the time, aud my boy
coming up, also considerably excited,
said: 1T was 2:l03s Or less.' Just then
the time was run out and it was 2:lO,
and the cheers and shouts were deafen-
ing. Mrs. Case came forward and ex.
tended her hand to nae, aud through
sheer force of habit-in the excitement
forgetting that was in the grand stand
Il reached forward aud kissed her. 1t
was very natural thing for me to do,
as never leave the house in the morn
ing nor return to it in the evening with
out this salutation.
snow, as to Pbillas, l saw him at
Major McDowelps place after securing
Jay -Eye.See, liked him and purchased
him, together with mare, at 81 900. l
have not been disappointed in him. He
made his record of 2:l3a at Chicago. in
the fourth heat of race with Catchfy
and several other good ones, giving
away the first heat and winning in the
next three. Phallas has never made a
full stand season until the present one,
and he will likely never be seen on the
turf again. He is as sound as Spanish
milled dollar, and has earned for me
this season, in stud, SIS, 600. antici-
pate great results from his colts. ."-[Chi.
