to be- trotted at Beacon PARK sept. Is. has
been put up in the hands Of Col. T.. A. Buck
Of the Spirit of the Times, xbo has been
selected as stakeholder. The purse money
vas not To have been put up till fe~ days
before the race, but Mr.. Baleh preferred TO
have it placed in the hands Of Mr.. Buck at An
for the stake there is yet no stallion whose
o~ ner has reeonsdered his determl u alton to
start, SO that il seems To be an assured fact
that the number Of starters will be the largest
in any stallion race on record.

Old Winthrop Morrill, stock crops out once
in while, and we see that one Of his grand
sons has been trotting some of late. This
is Black Morrill,, by Matchmaker, by Win
,hrop Morrill,; dam a Knox mare. He is
large black stallion, weighs 1890 lbs, stands
IL 3. and is four years Old. He has not been
handled much. as his owner, c. A. Partridge
Of Gardiner. has other business and does not
get much time To drive him. On July 4th,
last. after the races In this city were over.
A. c. Seribner drove Black Morrill, three
quarters of mile, it being the first time he
was ever htched to a sulky, and the second
time he was ever On track. He
made the first quarter st 50 gait,
the second in a ~ gait, and the third in 80
seconds, a 236 gait. The judges allowed the
track To be four seconds slow that day. The
first whole mile he made was over Merrills
track, Gardiner, July lG, when he made a
full mile in 2.47. being timed by Thomas
McGugn. Mr.. Scribner said he wa, sur
prised at the speed showed by this green
colt, and he thinks that could he have had
the season to have trained him in he could
have driven him in 2 30 this fall.

We have before given full account of
the great race at Mystic Park where the
celebrated stallioo Nelson. made the remark
able time of 2 I'D and now slude to it again
because increased interest has been drawn to
Nelson's breeding by this event. This re-
stallion is now seven years old and
was bred by Mr.. Nelson at Sunnyside Far m,
Waterville. He is by young Rolf. (2.2lt)
by Tom Rolf @ S3,) by Pugh's Aratus;
dam, Gretchen by Gideon. l.45, by Rysdyk's
2 dam Kate by Vermont
Black Hawk Asa three year old, he was
the first stallion of that age to get a record
of 2.2Gs, over half mile track. As five
year Old he troued in 2,2lt, This last
triumph of Nelson makes him the fastest
New England bred horse outside of Hope
full. ana and the fastest stallion in this
part of the country. Nelson is owned
by his breeder. Mr.. c. IL. Nelson and
Mr.. J. q. Written of Boston, the latter hsv-
ing a quarter interest in him. 1t is to be
regretted that Nelson is not to be shown ON
Maine tracks this year, but his engagements
make it impossible unless he is exhibited
late in the season on Msplewood Park, Ban
gor Nelson is entered in the Buffalo races,
Aug. 81 ; in the State Fair races at POUCH
kdepsie. N. Y. at Springfield, Mass. and
at the great stallion race at Beacon Park
Sept. Is. Speaking of this last race. Mr..
Pompilly who has Judged so many horse
races IN Maine, it is reported, was over
heard to say, when you read an account of
the stallion race to come off this fall 1t is
my opinion where you see in the summary
three figure ones. right on the same line will
be the name Nelson, and at a much l,ser
mark than he made the other day"
