A WONDERFUL FARM MARE.

The gray pacing mare Try Me, that
jumped into prominence at the Minneap-
oils summer meeting, where she won in
2:27, and carried \. X. Davis to wire in
2:2l1, 2:25!, has a history. She was
foaled in 1873 and bred on farm, where
she was compelled to do heavy work and
all the road driving from the time she
was a twO-year-old. She also raised five
foals by draft stations, and was kept at
work all the time, being denied the priv
ilege of brood mare. Her blood lines
are stout, although trifle obscure, as
she was got by Try-Me-On q :34), son OF
Fearnaught, Jr., (2:26); dam by Gen.
jackson, son of Ohio Bellfoupder. Hell

to the fair grounds to be developed, ant
in ten days she paced in 2;25i, the las

LEVI ARISTOS AND HELEN M.

Aristos q: 27a) has another 2 80 per-
former, and a good one, the stallion
Levi Aristos, owned by Messrs. f. & G.
c. Smith, West Stockholm, n. Y. This
horse was exhibited at the Vermont
Breeders fair in Rutland, and though
temporarily lame, showed quarter in
800 seconds. Sept. 10 he was started in
race at Potsdam, n. Y, and got rec
ord in 2 :2s. Sept. IS, at Malone, N. Y,
he beat the well known trotter Bijou,
and lowered his record to :26t. A
gentleman who was present relates an
interesting incident concerning the above
race. Old Bijou is very intelligent ami
nal and remarkably speedy, but is one
of the most inveterate loafers on the
turf. He Is careful to husband all his
strength, never makes any unnecessary
effort when in race, and can probably
discount any trotter living in coming
from fast trot to a dead stop at the
tap of the recall bell when scoring. He
does not approve of corporal punish
ment, and sulks when the lash is APP
piled. He has moral dread of the rat
tie of chain, however, and his driver
utilities this fear to good purpose by
tying piece Of chain to a stick, and

kTTREll'S TOM HAL.

Maj. kittrell OF Rutherford county
gives the following information about the
great sire that bears his name:
Early in the fifties there was 4 great
rage in Wilson county for fine saddle
horses. Maj. Kittrell, then resident of
that county, desiring the best saddle
stallion to be found anywhere, went to
Kentucky and bought horse, Blood Boy,
l6 hands high, from Sim Hurley, Bour-
bon county, for 800, a very high price
at that time. He was years old when
brought to Wilson county in 1852, and
made large season for eight years at $40
when other stations were standing at IS
and So. He was carried to Kentucky
and returned to Tennessee, was sold to
Bryant & Moore, Mooresville, for 81, 200.
He lived to be 30 years of age, was the
sire of Gibson's Tom Hal, Clipper, etc.

RESOlUTE AND PRESENT.

Appleton Webb's -year-old stallion
Resolute, of the Mountain farm, made a
record of 2 29i at Mystic last Saturday
in very cold windy day. His first race
this season was at Capital Park, Angus
ia. in July, where he won first money in
2 81 class and got record of :36l. In
August he took second money in The
four-year-old stallion race. He is by To-

Gilbreth Knox, 2:2G3, by Gen. Knox,

Kitty Lambert, by Daniel Lambert. Res
olute won the two-year-old race at State
fair in 1887 in , Al, and took a record as
three-year-old in 1883 of 2 80. 1t is
said to be the only stallion in New Eng
land with so many direct and consecutive
ancestors in the , 80 list. He is first
cousin to Helen NJ, the two-year-old fill
ly who trotted last week at Mystic in

rafting it over his back when he wishes
the old fellow to let out an extra link.
While this has the effect to stimulate
old Bijou to do his best, it sometimes
causes rivals which are trifle hot-head-
ed to go into the air. Levi Aristos is
one of the level-headed kind. a horse
with the strongest trotting instincts.
The chain racket was tried on Biiou in
this race, with its usual effect upon this
good-natured old trotter, but instead of
frightening the speedy son of Aristos
from his feet, it caused him to run away
50 fast on trot that old Bijou was not
able to give him the go-by. This Levi
Aristos bids fair to prove as level-head-
ed as II. B. Winship, which never made
but one break IN all his races, whether
in single harness or hitched to pole with

Hawk branch of the Morgan family

JOHN A. LOGAN'S HISTORY.
From the Horseman.l

EAsTON, PA, October 10, 1889.
Ed Horsemdn AT the Interstate Fair,
at Trenton, last week, the chestnut geld
ing John A. Logan was entered in the
3 80 and 3 100 classes. He captured the
3 80 race in three straight heats, ''trot-
ting one heat in 2 1904 in the mud" but
such was not to be the case in the 3 100
race. The slate was fixed with Logan
out in the cold, but this was one of the
races in which the talent received a severe
chill. Logan won the first heat in 2 :294.
The second heat was captured in 2:27i,
Volunteer Prince forcing the pace beyond
the three-quarter pole, where he was
compelled to surrender, and was not in
the race afterward. The third heat was
taken by Captain Lyons in 2 :294, Logan
making a break at the half-mic pole.
Kinsman won the fourth heat in 80,
Logan not being moved for it. 1t was
now dark, and the judges postponed the
race until 10 o'clock next morning, when
Logan captured the fifth heat and race
in :2Si. This demoralzed the talent,
and now they rush into print and say
Logan is ringer.
AS there will be many that will believe
these statements, allow me to give The
Horseman's readers John A. Logan's
history anu pedigree: John a. Logan
was foaled May %, 1884. on the farm of
G.. ID. Kelley, near the town of Leon
Cattaraugus county, n. Y, and was not
broken until after he was three years
old. Mr.. Kelley was very much Disguised
with the gelding because he paced, anC
would not break him until his son com
menced riding him to drive cattle. Mr.
Kelley offered to sell him for Sl25, OF
trade him for hack horse now working
in hack running from Leon to Cone
wango. One day while riding him thu
gelding shifted into a square trot and ha
never paced since. He wears twelve
ounce shoes forward and siX-ounce be
hind. Mr.. Kelley sold him to Mr.. n. II
left, of Easton, Pa, in May, 1887, anC
that gentleman still owns him.
John A. Logan is by Tornado, he by
Fortune, son of Superb. by Ethan Allen
dam by a son of Cassus NJ. Clay, Jr. %
second dam by son of Vermont Bacl
Hawk; third dam by Trustee; fourtl
dam by Almack. Logan was shown a
the Easton fair as four-year-old in 1888
and with three weeks handling trotted
mile in 2 ;35, timed by William johnson
of New York, who acted as startin.
Judge.
trust this will stop all talk abou
John A. Logan being an outlaw and no
eligible to trot in the classes in which h
has started. He has this, his first season
started in nine races; won first none
in seven, was second in one and third i
the other. THOMAS RINEK.

No dear Sir: | enclose $3.50 for the

year, and for the registry of two breed
ing mares, the pedigrees, of which |
make out on your blanks and also blanks
of my own which have filled to give
them more extended pedigree, which |
believe to be substantially correct, as
have taken great care in tracing them
for long time.
These mares are descendants from
mares that have been bred by my father
and myself for more than eighty years.
AS you will see, / have been able to
find the pedigree in the male line of Sir
Walter, which I asked you for. | OBJ
who knew or remembered the horse and
had the pedigree and knew that Enoch
Smith bought him in Canada for $1,000.
He was thoroughbred and a great run
ner; he by Sir Walter and he by i'm
ported Whip, which was good enough.
| wish you great success in your I'M
dertaking of the history and pedigree of

learned am satisfied the day is not far
distant when the work will be consider
ed the greatest work ever published on

JACK.
From Spirit of the Times. |

rTOu oplrlu Oh the Times.
In summing up the results of the sea-
son on the trotting track, while we will
lingly allow to AXtell and Belle Hamlin
the high honors they are entitled to as
the fastest stallion and mare of the year,
we think that the championship among
the geldings will gracefully rest upon
the shoulders of Jack, the gray son of
Pilot Medium. His career both in this
and last season has been no dress parade,
and in his journey from the West to the
sea and back again he has been the hero
in many hard fought fight. In 1883
Jack, then five years old, opened the
season with record of :29i and closed
it with one of 2:l9t. He took part in
nine races, in which he met the fastest
and gamest horses in his class, winning
seven and losing two. His opening
victory was at Cleveland, July 81, when
he defeated Il large field in = :22, = :224
and : :23 in the first, second and fourth
heats, the third heat being won by
Alley w. in , :22i. At Buffalo on the
following week he met the majority of
his Cleveland rivals, and this time he
took them into camp in straight heats in
2;234, 2;224 and 2:23. His next engage
ment was in the $4,000 stake at Roch-
ester, and no less than eighteen started
for the great prize, for which the SEN
sational Guy was prime favOrite. But
IL al
Prince, though he could trot in 2:l2,
could not win in so large a company.
Geneva 5. won the first heat in , 23i
Guy the second heat in 2:lSt, after
which Jack won the race in 2:2Oi, 2 200
and 2: 22i. At Chicago, on Aug. %, he de-
feated seymour Belle, Colvana Sprague,
Plush, Betty Jones, Roy, Junemont
Illinois Egbert, Indigo and Lynda
Sprague, in 2:20i, 2:20i and , %
From the capital of the mighty West he
came to Springfield, Mass, and OF
Sept If he won the $1,000 stake in :l9a
2;20a and 2:22a, after Geneva 5, haG
won the first heat in 2:2O. One weel
later he captured another $1,000 stake
at Fleetwood Park, after Geneva S haC
won the first and second heats in 2 =;
and 2:l94, Jack then going on and win
ming the next three heats in , 30, ? 10.
) and 2:2ld. In the field were Lady
=, Whitefoot, Superior, Eph, Crescendo
Frank Buford, Eclipse and Black Jack
He closed his victorious career for the
season of 1888 at Philadelphia, on Sept
% and 26, by defeating Yorktown Belle
, Protection, st. Elmo, Crescendo, Sham
rock and Watt, in the first, third an,
fifth heats in 2:25, 2:25 and 2:2l. Ill
was the largest stake and purse WHINE
, in 1888.
, He began the season of 1899 at tn
} Detroit Summer meeting, in the 2l
class, but only secured third money
though he won the third heat in 2:l9
, the fastest heat of the race. In tn
! fourth heat the word was given when h
was on IA break, which efiectually dies
troyed his chances. The race was wol
by Kit Curry. A week later he took al
: ample revenge in the 2;20 class a
} Cleveland, which he won in straigh
heats, having behind him Seymour
Belle, Geneva r., Greylight, Lucille
Baby, Globe and Pennant. The time
J was 2:l5a, 2:l7a and 2:l7A. In the sam,
class at Buffalo he had to play secont
