In the weights for the Great Western
Handicap to be run at Washington Park,
Chicago, Ed. McGinnis is down at 10S
pounds. There are number of cracker
jacks in the race, but it appears to me, says
"Dagworth," that the great little son of
Grinstead should be in the hunt at the
finish if he starts in good condition. A
mile and half would not be too far for
Ed. McGinnis with only 10S pounds to
pack.
A correspondent of the Breeder and
Sportsman, who lately visited lone, Amador
county. writes: There is a horse here
that particularly attracted my attention and
admiration. the young horse Falliston, son

the bluest of blue trotting blood, that of
the justly famous Electioneer; on the side
of his dam he is great grandson of the
thoroughbred Belmont (Williamson's) sire
of Venture 2:274, and of the dams of some
speedy ones also through his dam he is
the grandson of General Mcclellan. she

A correspondent of the Breeder and
Sportsman, signing himself Denver"
claims that Sunol is entitled to the honor
of making the fastest mile in race, in
stead of Maud S. The latter, he says, took
her record of 2:134 in race against single
competitor, and she, mare only able to
drive Maud S. out in two previous heats in
2:l9 and 2:21!. Sunol's race was for
stake opened TWO years previous in which
there were twenty.one entries Most of
these made payments up to the last before
the race, but in the meantime Sunol had
shown such speed that it was useless to go
against her. and it would not affect Sunol
whether others were in the race or not.
Theodore Winters has in training at the
Reno track small contingent which,
although few in numbers, are able to cope
with any now on this coast. There is
slight possibility that the stables colors

in the adjoining State will surely be seen
at the meetings held across the divide.
