Richmond exposition. 1t was Old Sorrel,
preserved in the best style of the taSlder-
mist's art. He is a sorrel horse, about lol2
hands, a thoroughbred from Lexington, Va,
aud was made famous by carrying St0newall
jackson through the war Charles Stokes,
of Richmond, remarked to me: VI saw him
just before his death (thirty-siX years old)
grazing Oh the farm of the soldier S nome.
Some Of the boys near by opened fire on
flock of robins. and it would have done you
good to see the old fellow straighten up and
run off towards the firing lively as colt. 1t
carried him back to the days OF 1861 TO lsGil
when such music daily resounded IN his
ears
Colorado now has such a number of thor
oughbred stations within its borders that the
raising of thoroughbred stock on an extended
scale cannot he very long delayed. Among
the well-knOWn stations now in Colorado
are Beacousteld. Jim Douglass, Fairplay,
Trump, King Faro and Borderer, the last
named being brother to the famous race
mare Modesty. In the matter of trotting
stations Colorado has long held prominent
place among the Western states. but hereto
tore it has been weak on thoroughbred sires.
At the Palo Alto auction sale, in the spring
of 1866. John II. Graham purchased the bay
yearling colt Ivaneef, by Ele ctioneer, dam
Isma, by Gen. Benton. Price about $500.
This colt has grown 10 be fine bay stallion
of the ElectioneeT tyre. He stands upward
of Is hands, but does not look so tall by
2:1S in her twoyear-old heels, proving that
Electioneer finds the essence of extreme
speed potency when coupled with daughters
of Gen. Benton.
1t is not yet decided whether or not Budd
Doble will go to California for the winter as
he did last year, but in case he does the gray
gelding Jack, 2:19l2, will be taken along.
Jack wac one of the STAR trOtterS OF last sea-
son, winning the $4,000 stake at Rochester
and some rich events in other places. He was
,fNS ,1r, .,l1 Of flaf,
and if he goes to California the people Of the
Pacific coast will see the best behaved and
most natural young trotter that ever started
III a race.
Masterpiece. that was one of the fastest
sprinters OIL the American turf, has been rele-
gated to the stud. having become q roarer.
The colt had habit of overreaching, just as
trotters sometimes do and TO overcome this
difficulty his owner sent him to Mike Dan
naher with instructions to work him at
understanding for while it being thought
that this would cure him. 1t did. but Dan
naher incautiously worked the colt while he
was sick. and this it was caused him to turn
roarer.
Noontime, the twoyear-old daughter of
Alcy0ne and Noontide, recently died at
Gleuview farm. She was intended for q
