named Caroline Estradas was convicted on
q charge of numbering woman who had
been his mistress and who hcd stolen his
diamonds. It was first proved that he had
obtained the diamonds by fraud; then he
proved that they were family property in
Cuba long before; then the prosecution
proved third story, and on appeal to the
customs books for some evidence none ap-
peared. Then the question arose as to
whether he had struggled the diamonds,
and it was proved that he had. Last of all,
still another account was proved, and as
Estradas about that time died in prison
the problem remains among the insoluble.
That there were at least three sets of per
juries is certain, but which was which no

answer to your inquiry about the gray
gelding J NJ G, will say that he is driven
by j. B. Petit of Port Huron, Mich.
Last fall Mr.. j. NJ. Gage of Port Huron
purchased him at public sale; he was
previously in the stable of the Saunders
boys at Cleveland, Ohio, where he was
known as Jersey Boy, and where he had
the reputation of showing some very fast
clips in private, but was very bad horse
to manage.
After Mr.. Gage got control of him he
changed his name aflixing his own initials
to the gray fellow and handed him over
to MIR. Petit to be trained. His trotting
last fall was anything but satisfactory,
and though he started at Saginaw, Port
Huron ana other places he was only re-
membered as horse handy for getting
the flag. This year he has greatly i'm
proved and has won some good races of
which the following might be mentioned:
the 2 40 class at London; the 2 30 event
at Port Huron; the 2 "a class at Windsor;
and got third money in the ? 40 race at
Hamilton, being beaten by Blackstone
and George o. 1t might be remarked
here that Mr.. Steiner of the American
association has made the fullest inyesti-
CATION into the history of j NJ G, and is
confident that he has not trotted out of
his class at any of the meetings lust re-
ferred to. The horse is one that once
seen is not easily forgotten, and it would
not trouble any experienced eye to rec
ognize the ugly gray fellow if he had ap-
peared on the trotting tracks very often
before. JOE SKINNER.

OLD PEDIGREES

Nancy is bay mare, the property Of
the writer She is a present from veal
thy New York friend. In harness she
pulls like tiger, but for saddle work
nothing can surpass her. Nancy is an
animal of such extraordinary style, spirit
and endurance that few weeks ago [
began to think it might be worth while to
look up her pedigree. Soon discovered
that she had been bred in this very coun-
ty, soon after | made the further discov-
cry that she had been sired by horse
called Thomas Jefferson. and that her
dam had been sired by horse called
Abraham Lincoln. Beyond this nobody
could tell me anything. In matter of
pedigree your average New Jersey far
nfer has lamentably short memory.
Yesterday morning ran up against
Smith Cramer, an excellent specimen of
the oldfashioned Jersey horseman. I
soon found that he was Just the man |
wanted. Mr.. Cramer has been IA breeder
on a small scale for long number of
years. The following diologue ensued
Query; do you know the pedigree of
the stallion Thomas Jefferson that some
years ago stood for service in this neigh
borhood: Answer: Well, | ought to
know, bred him and owned him until
he died from poison. He was sired by
Abraham Lincoln, and his dam was bv
Gen. n. y. Cooper's Carroll Messenger.
Query: But what about Abraham Lin
coin: Answer: Abraham Lincoln was by
the thoroughbred horse imported Mer-
Ger, and his dam was by Royal George,
son of Black Warrior, by Tippoo.
Query: How was Carroll Messenger
bred: Answer: Carroll Messenger was
bred by Charles Carroll, son of Sir
Charles, and his dam was by Gen. y. \.
Cooper's Messenger. This Cooper Mes
senger was by Mambrino, son of old
Gray Messenger, and in 1871 took first
prize at the New York State fair.
Query: Whoimported Mercer? Answer:
He was bought at the sale of the royal
stud of King William ". Mercer was
horse fully seventeen hands high. Nam
cy, you say, looks like a thoroughbred;
you need not wonder at that, both her
sire and her dam were by son of
old Mercer. Neither need you wonder
that she is fast walker. Thomas Jeffer-
son could in his day walk away from any
horse in the county En-.

that the dam of Ethan Allen was by Red
