that four CENTRES ago more attention
was paid to horSeShoeing than at the
present time. The Duke Of Albany and
the Earl of Mar, sons of James II. of
Scotland, procured an act of pariia-
ment which made the pricking of a
horse highly punishable, and similar
enactmentS were made In England.
And yet the casual pricking of horse
through the misdirection or misguid-
ance of an occasional nail is nothing to
the gross use of the pairing knife, the
ignorant and free use of the rasp, and
worst of all, the application of half
shaped shoe at white heat to abuneh of
blood vessels and nerves rendered ex-
ceedingly sensitive by the pairing off of
the horn or the natural protection by
the system alluded to.
1t is understood that Senator Hearst
Is going into the breeding business ex-
tenSiVely. He has never bred many
horses, always buying his racing stable,
but he lately purchased the Valentine
ranch, near the Valensin and Pleasan-
ton farms, and it is said that the senator
will stock the place with thoroughbreds
and begin breeding on a somewhat sim
liar scale to his friend and business
partner, Mr.. Haggin. There are now
quite number of brood mares on his
San Simeon ranch. and these will
shortly be brought to the PleaSantOn
place. The number is to be greatly
augmented by California mares of the
best breeding. and in few years more
the senator will be in the auction ring
with his yearlings.
Record smashing has become so fash
ionable at the Sheepshead Bay track
that it is beWildering. Salyator's per-
Torrance last Wednesday will not be
forgotten for generation. Then in the
Spring Stakes for tWo-Year-old5 last
Thursday Strathmeath boWled over
crackajacks ana went the Fuiurity
course, which is about fifty yards less
than three-quarters of mile, in 1:09 2-5.
That's not all. That grand Old mare
FirenZi, conspicuous i'll scores of mighty
battles on the turf, had her innings, and
what She did was fitting supplement
to SalyatOr's wonderful performance.
EirenZi knocked second off the mile
and a half record in the race for the
Coney Island Cup, and did it with mar
velous ease.
About SurefOot's losing the Derby the
prevailing opinion in England seems to
be that his temper was the whole cause.
He was ordered to be sent off slow, and
the result of restraining him was that
he took to biting at all of his competi
tors within reach, and when the time
came for him TO stretch himself ne was
in such SuikS that he wouldn't gailop at
all. The neXtmeeting between him and
the other cracks viii be at the Leicester
meeting on July and7.
The Montana circuit of 1889 was
revelation OF the racing resources of
that marvellous state. 1t attracted the
best class of horses in the mountain
country, and the 2:30 list atteSts that
several sturdy and fast campaigners
were brought into public notice during
the Montana series of meetings. The
Montana circuit Of 1890 is of much
greater scope. Sixty thousand dollars
is offered by the five members for trOt-
ting, pacing and running races.
Many squabbles have been caused
around race tracks through Snapper"
Garris0n's temper, and it usually in
creaSeS III erratic violence as the season
wears on Snapper offered the fol-
lowing explanation: This work OF
perpetual starvation and training is
enough to make any man crank. All
! do is to starge myself and listen to the
advice of shoemakers about riding a
horse"
1t seems that the flly by AlIerton
that was destroyed at independence,
To-, recently, in consequence of an in
jury, was not the only standardized
flly by that sire, as reported. P. NJ.
Wilson, Walker. To-, writes that he has
a FLY named Rose Allert0n, by Aller
ton, dam by Mambrino Boy, sire of Ak
tells dam.
Byron McClelland apparently has a
gem in his FLY Sallie McCleland. He
paid $1,000 for her at the dissolution Of
the partnership of Roche L McClelland,
John e. Madden being the contending
bidder Madden bought at this same
sale the black colt Dundee for $3.50.
Tom NJ. Cullen, OF Beaver Dam, Wis,
has purchased from j. j. Manbad, of
Des Moines, Iowa, the chestnut stallion
lady, by Hambetonian Bashaw,
2:2114, dam Belle Burns, by Champion
Black Hawk; second dam Nellie Dren-
non, by Herod Tuckahoe,
At the next meeting of the board of
directors Of the Kentucky Horse Breed
ers' association the question of giving
$4,000 purse for foals 1890, to be trotted
in 1898 or 1894, will be discussed, and
there is eYerylikelihood OF the sum being
hung up.
The 17-year-oId bay stallion Nam
brine Abdallah, by Mambrino Patchen,
dam by Redm0n's AbdaIlah, died last
Friday, at the home or his owner, Rev.
George w. Yancey, of Williamstown,
Ky.
Salina, the dam Of Salvador, when
three-year-Old, won at mile heats in
1:47L and las, and at mile and &
half in 2:35N.
Pierre Lorlllard will buy racing stock

Several steeplechase horses are re-
ported to have arrived at Brighton
