Palo Alto farm. Electioneer was foaled in
1865. he was sired by Hambletonian 10, dam
the world famed Harry Clay brood mare
Green Mountain Maid; second dam Shanghai
Mary, fast trotting mare of unknown
blood. Incredible as it may seem to the
theorists and adherents of pedigrees made up
OF eight or ten crosses of different blood, this
is all there is of the blood lines of this famous
Northumberland, Harry Clay and a mare
Of unknown blood, which has accomplished
nothing of note except in this single connec-
ton
Eectioneer is the sire of forty -one 2:90 trot-
tiers, and forty-six daughters which have pro-
duced more than lfty $50 trotters, andis out
of this great old mare. He is combination
of the founder of the greatest trotting family,
and the foremost mare of a great brood mare
family; trotter himself, and all his sisters
and cousins and aunts are trotters and from
the most prepotent families. His great sue
cess is not enigmatical or marvel, but only
the Legitimate sequence OF a grand speed in
heritance and strong individuality.
Senator Stanford purchased Electioneer of
Charles Backman in 1878
AT Stony Ford the horse had been given
but little opportunity to demonstrate his
quduIy as sire. AG UnaU LlIne large STATIONS
were in favor, and the breeding of the dam
of Electioneer-was extremely unpopular, so
much SO, in feet, as to be held in contempt
1t resulted that Electioneer was entirely neg
lected and had but few foals when he was re-
moved to his California home. At the close Of
the year 1887 had about 800 foals; of these 50
were weanlings, 81 were yearlings and about
40 were brood mares without records. OF
the whole number Of his foals 231 were bays,
were roans, were grays and the residue
were either browns or blacks, SO that more
than IS per cent. of his get are solid color.
At the close of 1887 there had been bred at
Paio Alto 2A foals by Electioneer; of this
number SO now have records in $50 or better.
Nine of them, as 2-year-olds, secured records

horses. ! do not think there are any fast
trotters that have not trace of thorough
bred blood, and don't believe that any horse
without such trace has ever made mile in

The Importance of Senator Stanford's Palo
Alto ranch to the breeding interests of the
United States cannot be estimated There
are ten thousand acres within its borders,
but that is not wonderful, for any man Of
ample means can buy ten thousand acres
There are over thousand horses in its sta
bles and pastures, but that is of little signii-
canoe, as any one with the means to pay for
them can buy a thousand horses. 1t does not
entirely consist in the number of fast records
to its credit, but it is because there is being
raised there a grand race of high bred, sound,
handsome horses which trot fast because it is
their nature to trot, and because they are
bred so that the trotting instinct is their
ruling passion.

vice in the development Of the American
horse. The commingling of the best foreign

Palmer, of Michigan, and not long ago he

France, and he has some splendid Percherons
on his farm near DetroiG
But the most noted morse breeder of con.
gress is Leland Stanford, the wealthy senator
from California He devoted a considerable
portion of his vast Fortune of SIS 900, 900 to
the establishment of his great stock ranch at
Palo Alto, Cal, and his annual sale is one of
the great events in the world of horses.
Stanford is a man of vast experience AL
though it did not take him long to acquire
his great fortune, the hardships he was obliged
to undergo during the construction of the
Pacific railroads were equal to those of a life
time Of the average man. From briefess
young lawyer to the possessor of one of the
greatest fortunes in the world is a long ascent,
but Stanford may be said to have achieved
1T at bound. His career since the compile
ton Of the Central Pacific railroad, when he
found himself millionaire many times over,
is well known, He has been saddened by the
death, while travelling in Italy, of his only
son, and it is to the memory of this youth
that he has endowed the S15, 100000 univer-
sity now being erected in California.
Stanford lives magnifcently in Washing
ton during the winter. He has several
splendid teams of carriage horses in his stables
at the capital He can handle the ribbons
with great Skill and in his younger days was
fine horseback rider. But he has grown
rather too heavy for this exercise now. He

BowMAN's TRAGIC DEATH.

The killing of lawyer Frank j. Bow
man by B. M. Chambers last Monday
was n of those tragic events which
are the logical sequence of things, and
which cause no surprise, aside from
the shock incident to all tragedies.
Bowman was a violently aggressive
man. His whole life was a fight
against his enemies, or those he con-
ceived a dislike for. He was a good
hater, and generally a hater without
reason. He was always ''crushiDg''
something or somebody. His mission
was to destroy, and in his work OF
destruction he had all the steslthy in
%stiucts of the savage and the pertinacity
of the sleuth hound. Time and changed
condition neither dulled his scent of his
victims nor blunted the point of his
revengetul malignity. Temporary de-
feat did not deter him from his pur-
suits, but only stimulated his baleful
determination to succeed, and during
the waiting time he nursed his wrath
and cultivated his ingenuities for the
more effective torment of his victim
when he should at last find him in his
power.
Frank Bowman may have had his
generous impulses. If so, they were
long ago crushed out by his defiant
ambition to pursue a chosen course that
would mark him as a man to be feared
rather than to be loved. He sought
notoriety rather than fame; preferred
the reputation of an intellectual bully
to that of honorable renown in the pro-
fessloa of the law and to enjoy having
his name on all mems tongues, defied
all social laws, and to crafty q within
SET aside all domestic ties and obliga-
tions. He appeared to be impartial in
the exercise of his cruelties. He only
pryed into mems affairs to utilize his
knowledge in running them. His hand
seemed to be raised against all men,
and the sycophants he gathered about
him In fear-glad to get rid of him as il
were, SO that when he died in the
vicinity of the city where his exploits
had made his name as common as a
household word, it is doubtful if he
had a friend to mourn him or a tear
to wash away a blood stain.
He wrecked and ruined Chambers,
but not satisfied, be followed him to
his retreat and like an apparition ap-

hunted, prosecuted, bedeviled man al
last shot his pursuer and sat down to
