TWO GOOD ONES.
RoyaI-Bred Fiilies Who Will Be
Heard From.

Jay La Due, of Luverne, Rock county,
has Just added two well bred fillies to
his fine stock at Riverside farm. They
were purchased of James Fl. Gray, and
both were foaled in 1887. The price
paid was $1,000. One is named Otago,
which interpreted means ought to go,
and the other Cango. When Patron
was in st. Paul he was great favOrlte,
and w. l.. MrGrath was so much i'm
pressed with him as being great horse
that he Immediately bought of Judge
Grant, of Iowa, several head of Patron
age colts and FLIES. Patronage is full
brother of Patron. Mr.. La Due has
done the same thing. He seems to have
bought two fine filieS, as will be seen
by their pedigreeS:
Cango: Foaled in 1887, sired by Pat
rOnage, he by Pancoast, he by Wood
ford Mambrino, he by Mambrino Chief.
Patronage. the sire of Cang0, is full
brother to Patron, 2:14; First Dam Al
lace, by Attorney, sire of Mabel A,
2:23I, he by Harold sire of Maud 5,
2:0S$4, the fastest trotter in the world to
date; second dam Wallace mare by
Green's Bashaw with II in the SO class.
Otogo: FOaled in 1887. sired by Pat
Mambrino, he by Mambrino Chief.
Patronage, the sire of Otogo, is full
brother to Patron, 2:14; first dam
Bracket by Peacock, he by Green's
Bashaw with II in the 80 class. Second
dam, Bamford mare, by Green's Bashaw
dam of Bamford mare. was Lady Lucas
$685., and trotted a close second to Gle
ora in 2:1SA in Chicago in 1882. Pea
cocks dam was the Elliott mare, dam of
Tramp, with in the 80 class.
The royal breeding and individual
qualities of these young fillies render
them fit associates at the Riversi de
stock farm, for Jay l.. Bell, 2. Adelaid !,
Woodford, Jr., and Luverne Wilkes, all
high bred registered stock.

A FLORAL PHENOMENON.
Remark able Growth of Red
FlOwering Geraniun.

Special to the Globe.
Browns VALLEY. Dec. S.-About
two months ago Mrs. A. S. CrosSfield,
of this city, wife of Representative
CroSSfeld elect, noticed a little pro-
truberance on the stem to leaf of one Of
her red-fowerimg geraniums; i'll few
days it put forth minute rootlets. These
crept down to the base of the stem
half inch or more, and there sOlidlY
fixed itself, and put forth six or eight
leaflesS and extremely delicate vines,
which, spreading, cOiled themselves
from right to left around different
parts of the geranium except its leaves.
Yesterday it was noticed that it had de-
vines and their feStoonS are fresh and
vigorous as ever. Lateral radialS in
straight lines and at irregular spaces
are constantly shooting out, resembling
in comparison the pedlcelS OF caterpil-
lar. Here and there these sucker-like
points have fastened themselves into
and around the more tender parts of the
doomed geranium, arching a crop and
over from stem to stem, so cOmpactly
that both plants appear to be one
form of life. The vines are
hanging full of tiny barrel-shaped
pericarps, in which the seeds are fast
developing for future plants. Above
these, more especially at the highest
tips, are clusters of white flowers,
pendant in pairs generally, closely at
tached to the parent vines, their calyXeS
indented or cleft, their corallas globose,
their stamens, four and five, impactly
inserted at the clefts. resembling
densely yellow dots peppered on; the
stigmas. in pairs of the same color,
hanging on Silyery peduncles. These
fructifying organs symmetrically ar
petals enclosing them round, constitute
truly a floral crown beautiful enough
for nymph to wear at a summer cOrna-
ton. Seen through microscope the
plant looks like perfect waXwork. eX-
uding a milky juice that covers the en-
tire surface. The general color is
light orange, blending, however. with
green where the floral bells are in
bloom. This parasite plant no doubt
belongs to the order of bindWeedS-
the Cuscuta. Consulting the standard
botanies 1 find this descriptive analysis
does not apply to all particulars. They
aver that the bindweeds spring first
from the soil; but in this in
stance the parasite germ fostered
itself not in the soil, but to
the stem of a leaf as herewith de
scribed. Does it not indicate that, like
animal microbes, vegetable parasites
float in the air we breathe, catching on
where they can with an invidious in
stinct all their own, and that
their vital supports may and do engen-
der variegated forms and shades, in
some particulars unlike anything else
under the sun?

miscellaneous.

Among the stations whose colts are well
spoken of in Kentucky is Florida, an inbred
son of Hambletonian, that was owned in
Orange county, New York, for number of
years, and that was taken to the Blue Grass
country last season. One of his colts two
year-old called Faust, that is out of Claire,
2:31, by Bayard, can go mile better than
$50, and it is said that in trial not long
ago he stepped off half a mile in I'LL.
Florida has one in the 2:30 list-the bay
mare Lotta-whose dam was by Daniel Lam
bert but considering that he is now well adj
vanced in years and has been doing stud
duty for many year he can not be said to
have achieved marked success as a sire.
Warren Peabody, the oldest living trainer
and driver of trotting horses, still lives and
is spending the winter in Niagara county,
NY. He has nearly reached the four-scOre
milestone in life, has seen many days OF in
terminglng sunshine and shadow, but still
enjoys himself in his own good way. He
claimes to have been the first man to teach
Maud S., the queen of the turf, how to trot
when she was a miXed-galted youngster
owned by Col. Stone, and he first put in his
appearance riding horses in races away back
in the little twenties.
A saddle offered last week by a Passaic,
n. j.. church fair to the most popular jockey
at the Jersey tracks netted the church over
$1,000. Ballots were % cents each, and a
dozen of the pigskin knights went among
their friends, notebook in hand. soliciting
votes Charley Ossler led the list, with Willie
Palmer second. and Bergan third, until with
in the last half hour of the contest when
Palmer'S friends rallied and sent in q fresh
batch of 1000 votes, which swamped all op-
position. The saddle is about the size of a
postage stamp, and Willie may use it as a
watch charm.
w. r. Allen, who is establishing an
extensive trotting stock farm at Plttsteld,
Mass, has purchased from Charles Back
man the bay threeyear-old FLY Brenda, by
Kentucky Prince, dam Miss Brunette dam
of Black Prince, by Rysdyk' s HambIetonian.
He has also added to the Allen farm lot the
bay weanling colt Electrode, by Electioneer,
dam Sprite dam of SPHINX, 2:23. and Spry,
2:2Sa4), by Belmont; second dam Waterwich
dam of Viking, 2:194; Mambrino Gift,
2:2O; Scotland, 2:2212, and Waterloo,
2:29s4), by Pilot, Jr.
j. H. Shuts is having an annex attached
to the main barn at Parkville farm, in which
the youngsters will be taught the rudiments.
The enclosure will serve as primary school,
the intention being to put them through
their PAGES up and down the aisles. When
old enough to hook up. the next step in the
process of training will be conducted on the
adjoining enclosed track, which measures q
fifth of mile. These enclosed curriculums
are for winter use, and will be regularly en-
ployed.
The three-year- Odds, as well as the two-year-
ODDS won more money Oh the American turf
this season than in 1887. Last year the
twenty-three three-year-olds that won s., 00O

A Record Breaking Mare at
Rochester.


Rochester.
Julian B. Smith, of Rochester, claims
the honor of having mare that pro-
duced three colts, all Of whom entered
the 2:30 list last season, as will be seen
by the following letter from him:
ROCHESTER, Mimi, Dec. 4. Editor Globe:
notice in YOUR issue OF Dec an item
speaking of the mare Luella as being the star
mare of 1888 in having two of her colts en-
ter the thirty list in one season. My mare
Belle S, bred, raised and owned i'll Rochester,
can beat that record, in proof of which | APP
pend her breeding and performances:
Belle s, b. NJ, foaled 1871 by Star OF the
West. by Flying Cloud, by Hills Blackhawk;
dam Kitty Wallis, Hambletonian and Ameri-
can Star
Seth Thomas, 2:2514; dam of Brittle Silver,
2:2934 (: dam Of Jay Bee Ess, 2:2SA.
Seth Thomas, Brittle Silver and JAY Bee
Ess entered Il e thirty list this season. AS
these four win records and one never
trained, are her first five foals, | thinks she is
entitled to the double honor of beng the
only mare with four of her first five foals in
the thirty list. and three of those going in i'll
one season. If capable OF making such
record, bred to stations without any record
themselves, and whose reputation has been
made largely by The performance Oft TINS
mares produce, what would she have done
if bred to Red Wilkes, Guy Wilkes, Sultan
or Electoneer.
Ihave a yearling by Woodford Wilkes and
Belle S that l expect will make great horse.
Have Just broken him to harness, and find he
has the same easy way of going as all OF her
colts have. JULIAN b. SMITH.

ter who could show eighths in fifteen
seconds and half in 1:06, but couldn't
go the road Then it was that W. j.
Gordon stepped in, and offered $4,000
for the colt whenever he could show a
mile in 2:19. The
YOUTHFUL ENTHUSIASM
of Perkins departed at the beck OF SOLID
business instinct and the offer was ac-
cepted, a though had he waited a
day or two it is probable the
price would have been doubled by
j. |. Case, of Racine, who was on his
way from home to look at the colt.
Soon thereafter Guy trotted better than
2:19 and the sale was contaminated.
Then along came Orrin HickoX, Billy
Crawford. Jack Splan and that crowd.
and, as st. Julien'S day had passed,
HickoX offered $4,000 for Guy to
replace his exhibition trOtter. But
who could afford to own Guy
better than Mr.. Gordon, who, when
he had retired from the wholesale
grocery, got into real estate and was
rated at round S5,000,000? His pet
Clingstone, too, was knocked out, and
this stern man of the classic face and
Roman tOga was bent on again hearing
the plaudits of the multitude as his
horse came first past the wire for the
free for all. But what temper the colt
displayed. Working alongside the sober
Clingstone he could keep his feet, and
the pair t. otted mile in 2:17; but
alone-why, the little fellow trotted
right into the ground. At last Jack
Splan got Gordon's stable, and surely If
anybody could teach Guy 'twould be
he, the
MOST WONDERFUL REINSMAN
since the days of Dan Mace. But even
the mighty Jack had to give him up,
although, determined to kill or cure
him, he used to give him twenty miles
day and yet could not curb his spirit.
The present season the black gelding
has been handled by Willard Sanders,
Mr.. GOrdOn's man, who never had any
varied experience outside the stock
owned by his employer, and taken by
him to Detroit. The first heat of the
race sent Guy to a record of 2:l61a and
all the other contestants behind the flag.
AT his next start the jockeys in the race
took advantage of the fact of Guys
being poor scorer and when, from his
kind of sideways hopping and dane
ing, Sanders finally got him level,
the other horses were pulled up
and little Guy could not be stopped
short of the quarter pole. So they beat
him. Now, at Buffalo there were only
three starters in the free-for-all. and
although Prince Wilkes, the greatest
race horse of the year, was the favOrite,
and the fast mare, Rosaline Wilkes,
was also engaged, the son of Kentucky
Prince won in straight heats and low
cred his record to 2:14. Then at Roch-
ester he was a great favorite for the
$4,000 stake for 2:30 horses, only to be
again ''mOnkeyed with" and SO lose
the race to that steady going Jack, who
sold in 500 pools for SO note. Surely
Guy could not be claSsed trace horse"
At Fleetwood late in the season he
lowered his record in an exhibition mile
to 2:12324, and eclipsed that performance
somewhat slow by trotting in 2:12.

THE PHENOMENAL GUY.
Points in the Career of the TrOt-
ter of the Season.

At the Kellogg sale in New York city,
in 1888, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer,

understood and awkward three year old
black gelding by Kentucky Prince, and
and to the question WHO is the buyer"

up and said: -. B. Perkins, Cleveland.
O." That fall at the Cleveland matinee
the colt appeared under the name of
Guy, being named for the first born of
the owner, and excited great comment
from the Cleveland horsemen by his
wonderful flight of speed. This
was the day that Farmer Shanks
first brought to the city the since ia
nous race horse Oliver K, now owned
by Charles Schwartz, and took him
home again, as his exhibition in 1882
was quite eclipsed by the fast eighths
shown by Guy. AS four-year-old

TRAGEDY ON THE DIAMOND

The umpire took his station
Just back of the batters base,
And he wore an air quite debonalr
As he posed with easy grace.
A ball came holly whizzing
Straight at his devoted head.
But the batsman's bat just gave it spat
And over the wall it sped.
Then away the batsman skurried,
+ Like race horse on the track,
And as he flew he wildly threw
His deadly willow back.
Foul ball!'' cried out the umpire,
AS the striker started down;
But that flying stick came down full quick,
And smote him on the crown.
"Ha, hal the ballmen shouted;
.'Oh, ah.' the people said;
Then on the ground, with grief profound.
His comely form they spread.
Off came his chest protector,
Likewise his mask of wire;
They made him light just so he might
More easily expire.
The coroner was summoned
To investigate the case,
And he came and gaZed, in a manner daZed,
Upon the umpire's face.
And this was the verdict rendered,
In hushed and solemn tone:

The result of q bat we'll thrown
