The frequent disappearance lately of
valuable horses in this and adjoining coun-
ties again leads us TO caution our farmers
regarding the matter. There certainly
must be a gang of horse thieves in this
part Of the State, who are now engaged in
running stock off. Be on your guard

Mr.. E. L. Hampton, Of Tracy City,
Tenn has been in this county for several
days buying brood mares for Hampton
Bros, who have just started a trotting

mare MOdjeska has been sold by her late
owner, Mr.. Clark w. Story, of that city,
to Mr.. S. Gamble, of San Francisco, Cal,

of the best horses in the State, of the En-
field Imported Glencoe strain foaled in
1876, the dam of famous lot of fast ones
Of about 2:IS to 2:2o, among which are

81 am not" says Robert Bonner, 'going
to retire SunoI, 2:Io%. She will remain
in California at my risk under the care of
Trainer Marvin, of Palo Alto, for year
and attempt to lower her own record. The
price paid for Sunol is private, but this
can say, it is the biggest amount ever
paid for horse, and the largest ever paid
for FLY in the world. For Rarus paid
10000, for Dexter $4,000, and Cor Maud
S. $4,000. SunOPs price Over-tops all
these by large amount"
The triumph of Sunol is magnificent as
showing a close relationship between the
three fastest trotters in the world by the
record. Jay-EyeS Sees or. dam is by Lex
ington, SunoI's or. dam is by Lexington,
and Maud SIS or. dam is by Boston, the
sire Of Lexington. Then all three horses,
too, ar by sons of Hambletonian. Harold,
the sire of Maud s., is son of Handle
tonian Dictator, the sire Of Jay ye-See,
is son Of Eambletonian, and Electioneer,
the sire Of Sunol, is a son Of Hambleto-
nian.-Courier Journal.
Mr.. w. r. Letcher, the banker turfman
of Richmond, is an interested spectator
and bidder at the sale of thoroughbreds
now in progress at Treacy & Wilson's,
and is at all times a lively bidder on all
The good things that are offered. He is
particularly fond of the Longfellow colts,
as he knows their value, and also the fact
that Longfellow is now an old horse and
may soon be drawn from the public SER
vice. No man on the Western turf is
shrewder than this same W. r. Letcher,
and the good things" he carries off yearly
makes older horsemen uneasy.-Lexing-
ton Press.
The following story is told of the pacing
stallion Bessemer; His sire, Voltaire,
7;2ok. was kept for service at Lexington,
one season, by two young men named
Stanhope. lie had a light season, and
they gave service Of him to a negro who
was blessed with an old mare and a patch
of watermelons for what melons they
might want for their own eating that sum-
mer. The result was a brown colt that
the negro traded as a yearling to his
grocer for bill Of $50. At four years old

trained to pace, and IS now Bessemer, 2:Is.
