 A New Haven man once made the remark In joking way that there were "no trotters In this city until there ii good sleighing on Whalley avenue and then the road is full of trottsrs." When this statement was con- sidered by the bystanders, 1t was seen to contain some truth, as nothing brings more fast horses to the public eye than good slsighing on the avenue. It is two years since one of the lively slsighing carnivals has been seen on Whalley avenue and how long 1t will be before one of these carnivals will be seen again ''is something no fellow can find out" The only safe prediction is that there will be no sleighing nntil the weather changes.
 ly have made several complaints regarding the condition of the streets where the sewer mAnholes are situated. In some of the streets that are not paved, the dirt has worked away from the manholes 90 that the cast iron tops project about six inches above the street level. In the day time they can be seen by the drivers, and are not so dan gerous as after dark when they are hazard ous particularly If wagon wheel strikes the east iron at Q certain angle on the side of the manhole. If wheel should strike the manhole in this way the axle is liable to be partly broken so that 1t will only require an. other slight strain to break 1t completely of. A gentleman of this city recently broke his carriage axle and had narrow escape from injury, in consequence of one of these pro- jeoting manhole covers.
 There are many fast road horses owned in this oity that the public knows comparative ly little about, as their owners are not par ticularly given to boosting of their posses sions. Since the Hubingsr brothers gave a new name and new life to Hamilton Park, the interest in trotting horses has been somewhat stimulated and will be still more increased during the next trotting season. Elm City stock farm which Is owned by the Hubingers, will undoubtedly turn out soms fast pacers and trotters during the next few ysAr., as there are forty-ssveu equines at the farm, moro than half of them being growing colts of various ages. The weanling Ally, whose dam Is Mollie Mitchell, is in such fine condition that it is evident that the owners understand the principles oi the successful raising and breeding of colts The seven colts from Abdalls Park, Ointh. ianaPark Ky, the several colts from the stock farm of D. Strong of Winsted and the coll with Ella O. are the youngest of the colts al the farm. Another colt is a promising Ally In her two year old form whose dam is Mist | Wilson by Indianapolis. This colt, sired by | Simmons, is a natural trotter and very fast | for the amount of training that she has had | Another Is black Ally, two years old, by | Guy Wilkes 2:155. The dam of this Ally is Huntress by Arthurton, she by Rydsyks Hamiltonian.
 MT. N. W. Hubinger exchanged the trottel Elastic Starch and a saddle horse for this fil' ly. Milan, the three year old pacing stallion which is nearly two years old, are two valua'
 ble colts. A we'll developed Ally not yet two years old Is by Madison Wilkes. The dan | of this Ally was by Ashland. A promising stallion that the Hubinger Brothers offer fol sale is New Haven Boy, who Is half brothe, | to Nelson, RIA 1-4.
 Horses of this strain of blood have become famous during the past season, partly on ac count of the remarkable performances ol Nelson, who early in the season dropped his record to 2:16 to win first money. Later hs lowered his record to 2:15 to win another victory, and at Hartford last fall he wor e2, 800 and got his present mark. At this | time 1t was said that Nelson had not been driven to break during the entire season, either in his exercise or during his races Later he won the $10,000 race for stsllions at Boston.
 New Haven Boy and Nelson were sired by Young Rolf, who died quite young, with . record of 2:211l, which he would have un- doubtedly made much lower if he had lived longer. New Haven Boy has shown quar- tsrs in 88 seconds. The dam of Young Rolf was by Winthrop Morrill,.
 Lady Thompson, one of the Wilkes family of trotters, Is one of the Hubinger's string who will probably make her appearance be- fore the public during the coming trotting season. It is said that several horsemen with stop-watches, who have caught her time on the track, expect to see her win when she is

One of them is a handsome young horse, chestnut color with The others are very desirable roadsters. Mir. Cruttenden has recently sold his trotter, Wonder, 2:S2 to New York man.

His sire was Strsthmare py hyusyks dambietonian. $ouu mas peer refused for two young colts sired by Bascom. A. E.
