MONTREAL, March s-The exposure Of the
scheme of the American boodlers and default
ers to raise bribery fund with which TO de-
feat the bill introduced into parliament by
Professor Weldon has created sensation in
this city.
John G. Emo who is credited with the con
ception Of the bribery fund, did not 20 to
Ottawa as was intended. Instead he sent
several dispatches, and when approached by
a reporter denied that he had come here for
the purpose of comforting with anybody
about the Weldon bill and calmly said: ANY
how the bill does not interest me, for am
not affected by its provisions ~ sg1uH
1t wasa dangerous thing for any one to APP
proach any Of the aldermanic boodlers.
They were all foaming at the mouth and
threatening all sorts Of dreadful things to the
men who gave them away. The idea that
parliament could be bought by a parcel Of
well known American thieves was sumner
to the Canadians Every respectable man
roundly denounced them and the Judges on
the benches spoke in the strongest condemna-
tory terms Of the matter
MontreaIs crown prosecutor began making
inquiries and says that if he can discover any
evidence upon which to base charge Of con-
spiracy against the men he will yank them
up instanter and give each two years ia the
penitentiagy. A petition is being circulated
and win be sent 10 Ottawa, with thousands
Of names, asking parliament TO pass the bill,

tions to leave the country, and those who
have invested in business or property here
are casting about for a means of quietly

THE STALLION YEAR.

The year 1889 in trotting history will
be denominated the stallion year. The
marvellous three-year-old Axtell early in
the season began to knock down the
record at his age, and finally made IL
record of 2 IA, which will long remain a
bright and shining mark for fleet aspi-
rants of that age to attempt to beat.
Then the Maine champion Nelson
trotted his celebrated first heat in the
$4,000 stake at Hartford in 2:13t. At
Lexington Bonnie McGregor, in an effort
against time, has recently trotted a mile in
2 :139, thus coming within quarter of a
second of the stallion record, and now at
Stockton, Cal, in the third heat of race,
Palo Alto trots in 2;l3a, thus tying the
best record in a race which was made by
Phallas. The time of the three heats is
remarkable, being 2 :l6b, 2:17a and :13a
the average being exactly 2: lG, but it is
not the fastest average three heats, as
claimed by some of our daily contempor
arie, as Nelson's three heats, at Buffalo
in 2:l5, 2:l7i and 2:l5, shows an averag,
of , :l5i. Palo Alto is the most brilian
exponent of that school of trotting-hors,
breeders who believe in plenty of thor
oughbred blood close up, as he is by

rn't n tenth part of what we intend 1t shall

the American road horse. AS such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey. dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. s. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed q. s. of Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-eminently the kind of informa-
hon that all gentlemen of intelligence DESIRE
and none such American can well afford TO be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some OF these pedigrees seems very
similar to romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

MIR. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir:-Can you give me any in
formation respecting the bay gelding
Blacksmith, that won the race, in 2 40
class, at Laconia, n. H., July Is of this
year, taking the second. third and
fourth heats in 2 1893, 2: 1854 and 2 40?
He was entered by Ramsey & Smart,
Rochester. | wrote them for informa-
ton, but got no reply. | also see from
the Mirror and Farmer of Aug. 10 that
Blacksmith won the 2 :37 race at Law
renee. best time 2 1929. The dam of the
pacing stallion Aral, 2:251, produced
one other foa which | sold as a wean-
ling for 500 to j. l.. Farrar, then of
Rockport, Me. This foal was solid
bay horse colt, and was foaled June s,
1879. Said Farrar was at this time a
blacksmith at Rockport, Me-, but after
wards removed to Dorchester, Mass,
and took the colt with him. He kept
the colt a stallion and sometime about
1884 or 1885 sold him to A. C. White of
Jamaica Plain, Mass, for $500. Farrar
named the horse Blacksmith. In 1885
A. c. White snapped him for a mare,
that he says could trot in 2 20, and $500.
After passing through several other
hands, Mr.. White writes me, May %.
1856, that he is owned by a Mr.. McNutt
of South Boston, who had sent him to
his brother living on a farm in New
Hampshire. He also stated that Mr..
McNutt was going to have the horse
gelded that fail OSSG). 1t occurs to
me that this bay gelding Blacksmith.
trotting at Laconia and Lawrence,
may perhaps be the Blacksmith bred by
me, out of the dam of the pacing stallion
Aral, 2 :25d. This Blacksmith was good
size, good style and solid bay, withou,
any white marks. a horse with recorC
of 2 1929 would seem to be worth look
ing up and if it proves to be the one bred by
me, | can give you his pedigree. vii
be obliged to you for any informatio.
tending to show whether the Blacksmiths
referred to above, are one and the same
or different horses.
Respectfully yours,

LII Il n
BRAINERD, n. Y, Oct. l, 1889.
MR.. BATTELL,
Dear Sir Yours of July 26 in rela-
ton to breeding of Morgan DeForest was
duly received, and should have replied
sooner had not hoped to get more an
thentic data as to what was known of
the horse in Chatham, N. Y. | have
nothing new to report other than that
the horse must have stood there about
1S44-45, instead of about 1880.
The former date is more probably cor
rect.
| congratulate the breeders of the Nor
gan family on the late performances of
Nelson. Morgan or Black Hawk blood
seems to be an important factor in sever
al of the phenomenal trotters. Can you
give me the breeding of Nelson's mater
nal grandam?
Yours truly,
j. d. TOMPKINs.
