il IL fa.r from satisfactory, and unless
Waller IS still living and could tell from
whom he got old Tempest, and then fur
nish chain by which he could be traced
back TO his breeder. But this would car
ry us back to 1851, th..rty-eight years ago.
Death makes frightful rayages in this
space of time, so that it il very probable
that several links in the chain OF evidence
along this line are hopelessly gone BE
this as it may the fact remains that he
was horse of strong individuality and
wonderful speed. After an attack Of
laminitis in 1858 so severe that he laid on
his side for four weeks and loosened the
hoofs from both front feet, A. c. Mar
tin bought him of Lymans, and after
the hoofs had grown again gave him
record of 2 :32t. While Lyman owned
him he was in charge of Samuel Wyman,
who now lives at Hancock, Harrison
county, Ind. During his first season,
1858, Wyman bred a mare called Kit to
him, and on April 81 1859, she dropped a
chestnut horse colt afterwards known as
Tempest, Jr., he being the third of his
produce after coming to Indiana. His
dam Kit was raised by David Alvis, Pc
kin, Washington county, and was sired
by Henry Clay or Wilddeer, he by Mar
tins Copperbottom; the dam of Kit Is
unknown, or at least all have been able
to learn of her is that she was given by
David Avis above referred to, to his
daughter the day she married John
Breedlove. The dam Of Henry Clay or
Wilddeer is represented as being by Po-
tomac, son of Diomed The sire of Hen
ry Clay, Martins Copperbottom, was
raised by or at least bought from Mason
Singleton near Lexington, Ky. He is
represented as being by Craig's Copper
bottom. dam of Clifton Pilot. At anoth-
er time | shall take up the produce of the
Tempests and show what they have done
in the way of speed. My information
along this line is not as extensive as
would wish and fear in some cases i:
positively defective, but | will submit il
for what its worth, hoping it may induce
others who know more to write"

THE ROYAL FEARNAUGHT.

From Duntons Spirit of the Turf.
The advertisements of Royal Fearnaught
appears IN this issue Of Dunton's Spirit
of the Turf Seeing five of his get per-
form at our last August meeting, led us
to inquire further into the history of this
great stallion, and we find that he has
done infinitely more, considering his OPP
portunities, than any sire we know of.
Today he is prominent as the only stall
lion in Michigan who added three new
trotters to the 80 list in 1888. He is the
only sire in the great breeding State of
Michigan, having eight performers that
lowered their records in 1888. He is the
only sire in Michigan, and think we can
safely say anywhere outside of Kentucky,
with nine representatives in the 30 list
at Is years old; six of them won their
races; three of them won their races in
hot fields and broken heats at circuit
meetings; three of them won their races
on slow half-mile tracks; the entire nine
won first, second or third moneys, and
holly contested their races; besides these
he has dozen strong candidates for 2 30
hOnors. His get have much natural
speed at the start ard constantly train
on. Royal Fearnaught has positive speed
controlling power, and gets standard
trotters when other prepOtent sires fail
for example, the MasterlCde (Hambeto-
Man Starr mares have produced four
trotters in the 80 list, and three of the
number are by Royal Fearnaught, who
has also proven his power with Tom
Hunter, Magma Charta and MambrinO
Chief mares, and mares without speed or
breeding. He has no wealthy owner
with stock farm, producing dams, train
ing stable at his back, and TIN cup 2:30
goal to reach, but has risen to his envia-
BILE position by sheer force of merit.
Royal Fearnaught is sire Of trOtters by
Inheritance. His sire Fearnaught won
the first $4,000 purse at Buffalo in :23i
His dam Lady Smithers could carry a
2 40 clip for miles. She was got by Col
umbus, the progenitor of Phyllis 2:l53 4;
I'd dam by Harris Hambletonian, sire of
Gray Rose, dam of Cuyler, sire of Elvira
2:lS4 at four years old, and many others.
Fearnaught, , :23t, was got by Morrill,.
He is remarkably handsome chestnut
horse, 1874 high, with extra good feet
and legs. He is a trotter and nothing
else. And now, breeders of the West, be
not deceived. Let no man blind you
with the dust of ignorance, the sophistry
of partisan prejudice, or the mud of
malice; but rather be guided by your own
understanding and the stubborn "logic
of facts" which the records of Royal
Fearnaught and his offspring reveal. The
service of speed getters are advancing,
but Royal Fearnaught's services are with
in the reach of rich and poor. Terms,
$40. The Wilkes family fanciers can
have the services of Caluspus (by Favor
lite Wilkes 2 :25t. He is inbred to Alex

"Iour last issue contained short let

cause it settles one point that have new

"George Leyman, Esq, New Albany,
Ind, bought old Tempest, chestnut horse,
as he is known in those parts, of a man
named Waller in Detroit in the fall of
1857, who said he brought him from Three
Rivers, Canada. and that he was by Red
Bird, dam unknown. We do not even
know that this is the Red Bird sired by
Belaire, sire of Old Kate. Mr.. Lyman
got no written pedigree, and it is over
thirty years since he bought him, so we
may safely conclude that his breeding is
hopelessly unknown. | think the associ-
ton of this horse and his descendants
with Royal George came about in this
way; w. j. Medley, Ottawa, Ills, has
been interested in Royal George stock
through a son called Tempest, and A. c.
Martin, Charleston, Ills, writes me that
while he owned old Tempest mar
named Doolittle from Canada owned him
that he was by Royal George, and l be

A VALUABLE BOOK.

CHEsTER's COMPLETE TRoTTING AND
PACING RECORD FOR 1888 is received,
neatly printed as usual, in plain type.
1t contains all races trotted or paced
the season of 1888, and is so arranged
that one can tell at a glance how many
races were won by each horse and where
made. There is also an index Of sires
given, which shows also at a glance the
number of trotters which each sire had
on the turf last season. The arrange
ment is admirable, and the book is OF
great value to all who take an interest il
light harness horses.

when II advocates the continuance OF the
tobacco tax. The monopolists In tobacco -
the largest manufacturers, like the largest
whiskey. makers desire the existing tax to
be perpetusted. The World says:
"The main revenue from the internal to-
bscco-tax 10 derived from licenses TO manu-
faeturers, dealers, aud peddlers."
The main revenue IN not derived from
licenses. but from the tax Of eight dollars on
n hundred pounds, or one hundred and
twenty dollars hogshead, on tobacco manu-
featured into su article ready for oonsump-
ton.
The World SAYS tobacco Is a luxury. The
poor man has nv other. He cannot afford
wines, nor liquors OF any kind, nor theatre
tickets, nor fine dinners, nor club-fees, nor
ANYTHING else than tobacco. This is his one
luxury II luxury that may be called which
ia his only solsce IN trouble. He cannot sit
under his own vine and tg-tree, but he can
chew his own tobacco. That is one thing

Say not that 10 abolish the tax will not be

cents per pound IL the tax. Eight cents per
pound Ia all that is paid for much of the leaf
