WHO GOT THE MoNHY.

Big Winners ON the Turf-lIarcus DAYS.
Large Debit Balance.
The racing season for 1880 II practically
over for the big stables. The season has been
. profitable one to some Of the stables,
August Belmont heads the list with q total
winning of $167,OO. John A Morris il nsxt
with credit to his account Of &168, 200,
while senator Hearst, whose bad luck in
previous years was proverbial, closes the
season with $4,000. Green Norris il
fourth, with 5000. and Congressman w.
I. Scott is Just below him with $4,000.
The Dryer brothers, in spite Of the Grip
pied condition Of their stable, mere
wreck Of the prlncely establishment of the
past, have earned &65.O00. while D. d.
Withers, whose stable has been rather q
disappointing one this season. il
. winner of $4,000. It ID
curious fact that nearly all the big
money in the leading stables has been won
by one horse. Potomac won nearly half of
Nr. Belmont's $167 900. and If Tourna-
Ment's earnings were deducted from Sena-
tor Hearst's total there would be very little
left. ]. B. HaRgin ends the year with $751;
100 profit, and of this sum over 1900 was
Salvatore winnings. The bulk Of the re-
mainder was Firenzi's. Marcus DAILY spared
no money in getting the choicest strains Of
blood. He had spent perhaps $500, 600 ON
the tucf, and yet he has won only one race
this year. That was stake raoe, however,
and he got ont Of It 5000 to help pay his
eoOrmous losses.

HORSES AND HORsEMEN.
What Montana's Little Band Of
Sprintsrs Are Doing on
Eastern Tracks.
They Hold Their Own Against the
Best in This Broad
Land.
Nontana,s Climate win Yet Be supreme
Interesting News Of the Turf
Called From Everywhere

Haven't You noticed within the past two
weeks that Montana horses are taking .
prominent part on the eastern turf Hard
" day goes by but some Montana bred
youngster is either winner or gets the
place, and some times three appear in one
day among those in front. Montana to-day
has not more than ten horses all told on
the eastern turf, and these are in the sta
bles Of Noah Armstrong (Montana stables)
and H. r. Baker. Nevada, Meckie H.,
Warpeak, ArRenta, Rimini and Daniel B.
have shown the dust to the noted cracks
very frequently of late. When one stops to
consider what this small band has to COM
pete against, it occurs to the person who
gives the matter thought that there must
be something after all in the bracing eli
mate and inviRorating atmosphere Of Mon
tana. There are constantly in training the
product of 200 or 800 breeding farms on the
eastern turf, agRreRatinR from 1000 to
2 600 horses. Yet in the face of this for
midable array the Montana horses are con-
of the stakes and purses and proving them
selvel breadwinners of no little merit. Ne
vada Is at herself again, her best recent ac-
complement being the defeat eft the noted
horse Reporter. It is seldom nowadays
that the fleet half-sister to Proctor Knott
does not get place in race. The work of
Montanah little band Of sprlnters is simply
remarkable and q browning victory for the
future Of Montana as the home Of speedy
race horses. What better illustration Of
the effects of Montana's lung producing
climate can be asked than the recent per-
formances Of Homestakep The horse was
brought here early in the year and remained
full seven months. Leaving here for q
lower CLINE, the good results Of his vacation
in Montana were made apparent, for he
skipped over the ground in harness with an
ease and grace Of motion and speed that
was the surprise of California horsemen,
and now to-day he stands without exception
the truest trotting horse in the golden state.
Then there Is Florida, Montana's
best production in the list of trotters for
her age. Down in Colorado recently she
olds, making the fast time of 2:26A. Mon
tana horses are towers of strength and
stamina when properly cared for. Spokane
was the first example that opened the eyes
of turfdom, and though he has been re-
tired to the stud he leaves the turf with
glory enough for lifetime. With the
bluest bloods of the equine race that are
now assembled on Marcus Days Bitter
Root farm, the splendid array at S. E. Lar
abies' and KohrS & Beilenberg's farms at
Deer Lodge, and constantly improving pro-
ducers at Huntley d Clarke's and Raymond
Bros Belmont Park farms, the time is not
far of when Montana shall take still
more prominent place in the world of
horses and horsemen.

THE VETERAN CT MULKEY.

His Season Of Merited Success Throughout
the Northwest
Montana horseuaen generally will be glad
to hear the following about that honest turf
man. Cy Mulkey who ID now in California,
and Of whose campaign with Tim Murphy.
Sinfax and Tom DAILY, the Breeder and
Sportsman says: From the time that the
small stable was first turned loose at Port
land, there has not been race but what
some part Of the money has fallen to the
share of Mulkey, his horses demonstrating
that superior judgment in training is bound
to bring about winning results. Missoula.
Deer Lodge, Anaconda, Butte and Helena
were each visited in turn, ana although oil
kinds of combinations were suggested to
the owner, he stood aloof from tho would
be. sure-thing men, and ran the animals on
their merits making q handsome return for
his honesty Of purpose and Independence.
Toward the end of the season it was almost
impossible to get any money in the pool
box against the Mulkey entries al it was
considered foregone conclusion that he
leaving Montana, Tom DAILY was disposed
Of. his owner receiving good long price
for the geldinR. All kinds of weights
were tried by the handicappers to prevent
Sinfax and Tim Murphy from winning, but
with NO Otner result az the tour was almost
q complete round OF success. DAILY started
eleven times, winning seven times, has two
seconds to his credit, one third and once
unplaced. Sinfax started fifteen times,
won twelve races, was twice second and once
third, carrying az high as 123 pounds. Tim
Murphy started also fifteen times, was
eleven times first, second three times, and
once third. This is grand showing, forty
one starts and in forty races money was
won. Az is only natural. Cy fo0ls hirhly
determined to become public trainer.
During the season he has purchased Sinfsx
from M. Rose, paying for the two-year-
old colt $4,000, and during the trip has
twice refused 5000 for him.
