THE BALCH STALLION RACE.
The Trotting Event of the Year to
Occur at Boston This Week.

The great event in trotting interest
of this year will be the Balch race for
stations, at Beacon Park, Wednesday,
Sept. IS. Mr.. Balch has won much
prominence by organizing events of
this character on grand scale, and the
races given under his auspices have al
ways been extremely successful. A
grand list of the fastest stations in the
country is booked to start for the purse
of $4,000 on this occasion. and. outside of
AXtell and some of the Californians, the
absence of none is to be regretted as a
possible addition to the excitement of
the contest. 1t will be a race that all
who can possibly do so should witness.
AS the entries now stand, on public
form, it will be assured that the race
will be between Nielsen and Alcryon,
but these great cracks are likely to
wear each other out, and alleW
some horse more lightly es-
teemed to carry off the rich prize.
At all events, it will be a battle of
giants, not horse in the race who can
not handily tTOt in the teens; and as
the contestants combine the richest
blood and greatest speed of the great
sires of the future, it will be a race that
no student of breeding should fail to

named to start in the race that will be
decided next Wednesday show the
progress that has been made in breeding
and developing the trotter since the
year Mambrino Gift and Smuggler
q trotted in 2:20. Nelson, the pride of
New England, has a record of 2:14L,
made in the first heat of a race, while
AlcryOn, his most dangerous opponent,
has record of 2:1614. On public form
first and second place lie between these
two horses, and, should Nelson be driven
as good race as when he won at Buff
falo last month, he will be first.
AlcryOn is a very handy horse, and
the long home-stretch at Beacon
park may be to his liking, but Nelson
has the greater fight of speed if it can
be reserved to finish with. Gold Ring
has done nothing of note since he won
his race at Detroit and made a record of
2:1S, while MullattO, CRANKY and Raiah
have not been prominent in their races.
Mount Morris, Ready Boy, Bayonne
Prince and Brown have not started this
season, but the son of Kentucky Prince
has shown several fast miles in his
work. On his last years races Pilot
Knox is nOtin it, while JunemOnts should
receive a portion of the purse. Joe
Young is the Western cyclone in this
race. He was rated equal to a mile in
PIG last year, and if he takes the word
many New England breeder will look
for him to be prominent on account of
the strong dash of Morgan blood he in
heritS from his sire.

Gossip About Horses, Horsemeu
and the Race Track.

Gossip About Horses, HOrSemeH
and the Race Track.
The Jubilee Plunger's book, "How l
Lost e250,0O0 in Two Years." has been
issued in London. A cablegram says it
is mere record of foolish extravaganza,
and proves its author to have been one
of the most gullible asses ever on earth.
From long time before he reached his
majority he has been the prey of money
lenders, gamblers and blacklegs of
every description. While still under
age he gave note for 10000 for 81, 800
in cash, and one lender who held his
notes for ESQ, 900 had lent him less than
$500. He also owed one Sam Lewis,
which he paid him the day he came of
age. At his first horse race he lost
$4,000, and during his first year his
losses were as high as e9,200 and $4,000
per week. At cards he often lost as
much as $4,000 to $4,000 per night at
the Field club, and he once lost 10000
playing a chemin de fer game while
waiting for train ten minutes.
According to a Kentucky writer on
racing matters, the total value of the
stakes and purses run on the American
turf was S2,616, $3.50. OF this g, 1885,
1885 was won by horses finishing first,
$751;, 46S.55 won by those which ran sec
ond, while third horses earned S26, As.
The biggest winner was Proctor Knott,
which captured 500 ,715 in stakes and
purses, while the lowest amount won
by single horse was S., which Joe
Hooker took into camp. Horses OF I'M
known pedigree won S14,699. while
the other money won was captured by
the get of 452 sfres, the five leaders of
which were Glenelg, with $3.50, so to
his credit; LOngfellow, with S121, 031.67
won by his get, while the sons and
daughters of Billet, Luke Blackburn
and Enquirer captured respectively
$3.50, 903, 500. 1857 and $50, 0S6.S7.
In the old mythology of England
horses were and are to this day looked
upon as luck bringers. In some parts
of England 1T is still thought that many
forms of disease may be cured by burn
ing horse alive. A horses hoof placed
under an invalid's bed is a specific for
many complaints in the north of Scot
land. Many years ago in Ireland, so it
is said. upon the death of horse its
| feet and leg were hung up in the house.
and even the hoofs are kept sacred. All
of which, it is claimed, serve as a pre-
ventive of ill-luck or disease.
An example of what luck there is on
the race track, it is said, can be shown
in that of the owner of Ben Harrison,
the running horse which has done such
good work this season on the Saratoga
track. When the season opened the

The gray pacing mare Try Me, that
jumped into prominence at the Mime
apOlis summer:meeting, where she won a
heat in 2:27 and carried A. X. Davis to
wire in 2:2119, 2:251@, has history con-
nected with her. She was fOaled in
1878 and bred on a farm. where she was
compelled to do heavy work and all the
TOad-driving from the time she was
two-year-old. She also raised five fOals
by draft stations, and was kept at work
all the time, being denied the privilege
of brood mare. Her blOOd-lines are
stout. although trifle obscure. as she
was got by Try-Me-0n, 2:34. son of
Jackson, son of Ohio Bellfounder. dam
by Hale Horse, by Irwin's Tuck
ahoe. Last April DIR. Ward,
Of MashalltOwn, To-, purchased Try Me
from farmer for $50, and many
thought her dear at that price. He used
her in his business a couple of months
and found she had considerable speed.
In June he sent her to the fair grounds
to be developed, and in ten days she
paced the half-mile track in 2:25sl, the
last half in ITO and last quarter in 81
seconds, without skip. She was
started at Des Moines June 10 in the
$3.50 pace and won fourth money, lap
ping out Humming Bird in the second
heat in 2:274, and U Frank in the
fourth in 2:29. Her second and last
race was trOtted at Minneapolis, thirty
three days after she was placed in
training stable. She showed as much
speed as any horse in the race, and in
one heat reached the half in 1:O9. Try
Me will be placed in the brood-mare
ranks, and as both Of her last foals by
draft stations are fast PAGERS she may
be expected to produce high rate of
speed when mated with good horse.

SCOTS LUCKY HORSE.
Chaos May Be Blueblooded, but He
Is Not Very Speedy.s

Chaos, winner of the rich futurity
stake of the Coney Island Jockey club.
run at Sheepshead Bay. is a light chest
nut, with blaze in face, and both hind
ankles white. He stands 15.3 hands,
and has plain bony head and narrow
muZzle, but good, open jaws, a long
light neck, prominent withers, deep in
the briSket. and has a great length from
the point of the shoulder to the point of
hip. He has rather long back, but 1t
is straight, and when drawn he tucks
up considerably in the flank, b ut he has
good quarters and stifie, with powerful
legs and feet, He is wear and tear
looking coli, without any special beauty.
He is owned by Hon. w. l.. Scott, who
bred him at his Algeria Stud, at Erie,
Pa: He was sired by imp. RayOn dor,
out of Lily r., by Glenelg. The young
Ster has started in ten races. having
made his debut at the Brooklyn spring
meeting, but his performances have not
been such as to attract public notice.
His winning bracket was obtained at
Brooklyn, where, with lis pounds up,
he won fiVe-eighth dash in LOS. His
second victory occurred at Monmouth
Park, where he won the Carteret hani-
cap, worth S7,525, carrying 107 pounds,
and covering the three-quarters of a
mile in 1:155<. finishing ahead of
eighteen competitors. In the Futurity
he carried 100 pounds, and was ridden
by an English lad named Fred Day, st.

Rayon dor, the sire of Chaos, is a
French stallion which Mr.. Scott i'm
ported to this country in 1888, at an eX-
pense of $50, 600. He was a grand per-
former on the turf, and vanquished all
his contemporaries in the fall of his
three-year-old career. Experts agreed
in commencing the enterprise and
sound judgment of Mr.. Scott, and in
due time the progeny of the French
horse began TO show that they had in
herited the speed and sOundnesS of their
sire. In 1887, the year that Mr.. Scott
retired temporarily from the turf, Torch
light, Tea Tray and Satan, all sired by
the French horse, were among the
crack twO-year-olds of the year, and
after winning a number of stakes for
Mr.. Scott, were sold late in the fall for
large prices, Tea Tray alone bringing
S1O,500. On the whole, Mr.. Scott is to
be congratulated On his investment,
and especially so when this latest vic
tory wilt place him among the largest
winning owners, and that with stable
of two-year-Olds, which speaks volumes
for Mr.. Leighton, his trainer and man.
