Washington Nov 6-There Is an atmosphere per

public is not TO be permitted know how serious

DAYS after she was launched at Philadelphia coal

How Fast is Three Minutes?

Among the sales of good horses to pri-
vate parties out of Maine last week we are
informed of the following: \ pair of fillys
sold by George II. Pishon of East Fair
field TO Mr.. Swift of New Bedford, Mass,
and two colts by Onward which passed
through Mr.. Nelson's hands on Tuesday
last, one sold to G.. G. Hall of the Adams
House, Boston, and one to Parker Broth
ers, Winter ST.. Boston. These last were
five and six years old respectively, weighed
about 1850 lbs, and what is somewhat
singular both were fine bay in color though
they were both out of gray mares. This
pair sold for about 5000.
A writer in a recent number of the
Horseman makes some criticisms on the
talk which certain men frequently give
their neighbors about the way in which
their colt can go. "Why," they say, '.he
can show 2.40 or $50 clip easy''-as
as the case may be. Now we
are far from believing that
the men who own these good stepping
colts are not perfectly sincere in what
they say-they simply do not realize how
fast step $50 gait is. They no doubt
give this colt that is threatened with speed
a little dash on piece of straight, level
road, possibly they may time him for a
third of a mile over such road, and as he
goes terrible fast" they think he must be
stepping off at clip way inside of three
minutes. But, man alive, if some of these
same men were to ride after horse going
at the now moderate jog of 3 minutes,
their heads would swim so they would
nearly fall off the seat. The fact is even
three minutes is faster than these men
ever rode, and when they say their colt
can trot in $50 they are sincere in it, but
they simply do not know how fast $50
is. Only the professional trainers and
drivers know how fast this is, and COM
mon farmers are not professional drivers,
generally.
The stylish young Wilkes stallion,
Winthrop Wilkes bred and owned by Mr..
W. II. Miles of Lisbon, agent of Farwell's
Mills, was sold Tuesday to c. F. Pearson,
Esq, of Bath. The price paid for the
colt was 81 900. The dam of the colt is
now owned by Mr.. Miles. She is IA lofty
chestnut mare, Ii hands high and weighs
l,050 pounds, years old and speedy.
The largest horse in the United States
is said to be one owned by Mr. Mark Thode
of Mattoon, Ill. lie is only three years
old and stands at the enormous height of
10 hands.
1t is stated that Senator Stockbridge,
one of the Michigan firm who sold Bell
Boy for So, 900, has purchased from
Senator Stanford yearling son of Flee
tioneer for 5000. This is high price
for a colt of that age, but if, as some
state, he was the sole owner of Bell Boy
and made profit of over $500 on him,
he can afford to pay literally for another
of the same sire's get.-Ihe Sportsman.
