/ out new course for himself and his great
stallion. He offers a special stake for the get
/ of his horse, Masterlode, Jr. This he calls
| the Radcliffe stake. His proposition is TO
give purse of $500 annually for the get of
his horse the first to be for foals OF 1856, TO
be trotted in 1889, the money TO be divided as
follows: 500 to first, $50 to second, $50 10
! third and 500 TO fourth Entrance fee 10 per
cent. OF purse. The scheme is good one, as
il WILL without doubt result in the early
development of some OF the get OF the horse,
and thus attract earlier and more general at
/ tention TO his merits as sire Than would 9TH
erwise be the case. George Wilkes and many
other good horses were all along in years be-
| fore their get began 10 win notice by their
performances, whereas, If some such induce
ment for early development had been held out
as Mr.. Radcliffe now makes for his horse, they
would undoubtedly have gained the fame for
their siresi while in their prime, that was
| showered upon them in their old age.
Mr.. Radcliffe is the first breeder in Mime
sofa TO make an entry for the anticipation
stakes, as advertised for by the Minnesota
| Trotting and Pacing Horse Breeders associa-
! ton, to be trotted in 1883. Mr.. Radcliffe names
his colt Star Swigert. 1t was foaled August
1885, by Masterlode, Jr.. son of Masterlode, 595,
dam Lorle, by Western Chief. This colt is a
! great pet of its owner, and is trim-built and
| stylish, and has a very promising way OF
| going. Mr.. Radcliffe is taking great pains
| with him in the way of educating him. He is
frequently led by the halter, and takes TO the
| trot very naturally. This is not done only as
the within of the driver may lead him to do it.
| but the colt Is practiced a little every day.
/ His training is systematic, and IL he improves
as rapidly in the future as he has in the past,
he will be a very formidable three-year-old.
All the trotting horse breeders of Min
nesota should bear in mind the fact
that two new stakes have been opened
| by the Minnesota Trotting and Pac-
ing Horse Breeders association, the
entries to close May 1. These are the antici-
patton stakes for 1885, to be trotted in 1888,
and the futurity stakes for 1855, TO be trotted
in 1883. 1t would seem that it would not be
necessary TO urge upon the breeders of this
state the great Importance of having repre-
sentatives OF their stations in these stakes.
All who desire to enter. but have not done So
should at once communicate with Secretary
Judson of Pennington and secure from him
circular of instructions.
