WHY HE BOUGHT HIM.
David Tenny Pulsifer, the owner OF the
crack Tenny. says he bought the colt on
his belly" He thought that the colt, Wheh
he saw him as yearing, had big, strong
storing capacity aud Was able to put away
lots OF food, and therefore. as he was onerepl
very cheap, became his owner.
The California colt Longshot, by Duke
of Norfolk, has been sold by W. Il. E.
Smith for $4,000 to j. 0'Brien of Saltwater,
Mont Smith bought him this spring for
$500 from Phil Siebenthaler at Sacra-
mento. Longshot won several good races
on the Coast this spring, and performed
well at Chicago and ST. Paul. He proved
remunerative investment for Smith.
To show what value popular thorough
bred stallion has after his turf career is
ended the mighty lsonOmy, who has. been
in the stud for several seasons and is the
sire of. among many others, the flying Sea
Breeze, has his book filled for the next
three years, bringing his owner an income
of $4,000 irrespective of his own mares,
and yet. S42, 800 was his price after Mr.
Grettan's death, though Senator Stanford
was said to have offered 100000 some time
previous.
Henry Walsh says that Flambeau is
standing his work well, but has had nc
really fast work so far, and therefore he
cannot say whether he will stand up or not,
but will probably run in the fall.
There are now 700 horses at Palo Alto,
Senator Stanford's Buckingham, and they
consume on an average $4,000 pounds of
barley and 60, COO pounds of oats month
