spring.
1t was a very pretty drive through a
mostly level country to Mr.. Roses farm.
The road at this time of the year certainly
was generally quite good. As got out
of the carriage again was addressed by
name this time by Mr.. Dmmock of Corn
wall, who said he was only week from
home, and gave me the latest news.
The first horse seen was Alcazar, six
years old. by Sultan, dam Minnehaha by
the Moor. Record at three years old,
:23; present record, :201. He won six
out of eight races, one of them race of
seven heats. This is very blood like
bay horse with one white nigh front foot;
stands about 16 hands, rising high on the
withers weight about 1925 pounds. He
has been unfortunate in getting anne,
though | do not know that he is so now.
number of two-year-old colts by SIAM
boul were then shown to me. One, whose
dam was by Indianapolis, had Morgan
head, and one whose dam was by Guy
Wilkes, showed much spirit. We come now
to Stamboul whose record is the fastest
of any California stallion, and third fast
est in the world. He is bay with two
white hind feet; stands 15-3; has
beautiful head and ear with good width
between the eyes; an excellent body and
very good name and tail. He is shaped
after the Clay pattern, with much sub
stance, and bears the stamp of marked
horse. His neck and breast are very
good legs and feet fair, but not the best.
Stamboul was by Sultan, dam by Ham
bletonian. (Sultan by the Moor son of
Neave's Cassius NJ. Clay.)
From Mr.. Roses we drove through an
old Mexican adobe village to Mr.. Bald
wins ranch. He has some 10000 acres.
We drove for some time on this land be-
fore we reached the stables where the
horses are kept. The orange orchard is
far the largest and with the largest trees
of any have seen. We understood that
he would sell this year about 100000 or
anges. There are two extensive vine
yards. A polite negro showed US the
horses. First, the ten two-year-olds, that
had been entered to run the coming sea-
son. OF these we took the following
