ITEMS FOR hoRsEMEN.
Autumn Meeting of the Mystic Park
Association.

Our Dayton correspondent writes;
"Stephen Smith and Son, of this place own
some good horses. Their Lady Lightfoot is
twelve years old and is fine roading and
trotting horse, having trotted in several
races. Few horses in this section can beat
their Gipsy S. She is three years old, stands
II hands high and weighs 1900 pounds. She
took first money at York county fair last
year, and also won in the colt race at Cor
ham. She is by Walter S. out Of Lady
Lightfoot.
"Dandy, another horse owned by the
Messrs. Smith. is two year old stallion by
Edwin L., out of Lady Lightfoot. Dandy is
a very promising horse and is destined to
make quick time when the opportunity is
given him.
Thomas Sands, of Bar Mills, is familiar
with trotting horses and generally has one
or more fine animals. He owns the stallion
Edwin L. that has raised many good colts in
this section"
The following interesting communication
will be read with pleasure.
