Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-06-23

very promising four year-old bay gelding
Richards Elector, dam by Gen. Mcclellan,
to the half in 1:144, and to the wire in
2:343. The colt was broken by Farrell,
McCarty's right-hand man, as late as last
April, and he is very proud of him.
AN ORDERLY BREEDING FARM.
One of the noticeable features at Palo
Alto, remarks the Breeder and Sportsman, is
the quietness with which everything is
conducted. There is never any loud or
boisterous language, and swearing in and
around the stables is never heard. This is
in contradistinction to many of the tracks
and farms in the State, where most of the
rubbers and grooms seem to think it essen
tial and necessary 10 use rough and coarse
language to the animals under their charge,
yet still there is not stable in the county,
where trotting horses are more quiet and
gentle than they are at Senator Stanford's.
AT THE SACRAMENTO TRACK.
Matt. Storm has eight thoroughbreds in
training at the Sacramento track, and they
are all doing well. Lurline has been bred
to imp. Cheviot. but will be seen in races
this fall. Marigold is moving nicely, and
Matt expects to win with her on the circuit.
A two-year-old FLY by Three Cheers, dam
Mistake (dam of Kildare) is beauty,
closely resembling in looks Mr.. Haggin's
mare Firenzi. The stable boys are very
sweet on her, and she has been named
Mystery. Mr.. Storm also has his trotter
Belvidere doing slow work, and threatens
to give him record this fall.
THE PEERLESS sUNoL.
Two well-known horsemen met in the
office of the Breeder and Sportsman few
days ago, and q controversy arose as 10 how
fast Sunol was likely to trot during the year
1890. The wordy war was finally finished
by wager being made that the peerless
queen would show mile some time during
the year in 2:06. This may seem rather a
low mark to set for the great mare, yet still
there are scores who expect to see her per-
form the marvellous feat.
AROUND THE TRACKS.
There is some talk of match between
Palo Alto and Jack.
John Williams, one of the oldest trotting
drivers in the State, is educating some of
the Rancho Del Paso horses.
The Directors of the Red Bluff race track
will have new stables, fences, and other
necessaries completed before the meeting
IN August.
Mohawk Chief was seen not long since at
Palo Alto pulling harrow on the Kinder
garten track. He is as handsome horse
as ever, and took to his work kindly.
Count Valensir' s Semicolon won the 2:29
race at Mystic Park, Boston, on the 18th,
his best time being 2:22.
On the opening day at Fleetwood Park
the attempt to beat the team record of
2:153 by Putnam's mares, Aubine and Lady
Wellington. failed, their time being 2:163.
Victor (222), the ''hayseed" trotter, who
has stood during the season at Napa, has
been taken to Indian Valley, where his
owner, Mr.. Doherty, will prepare him for
another campaign. Race goers always
look for sensation whenever he appears.
William Hendrickson, of Patchen fame,
is seriously thinking of taking stable of
trotters to Tacoma, and possibly interview
ing some of the Montana tracks with his
trotters, prominent among which is q son
of Nutwood, who shows great promise;
James Linden will drive.
At the late Haggin sale in New York
Pierre Lorillard could not let Katrines colt
pass him. The mares trial with Pontiac
before he won the Suburban was enough to
convince him about her-she could give
him weight and beat him shoes to plates.
Mr. Lorillard paid 5000 for the Darebin
colt
Colonel 81. 1. Thorntons two-year-old
colt Austrian by Darebin out of Bavaria,
injured himselfin his box stall at Agricult-
ural Park in this city few days ago, and
it is said he will never be able to race.
E. M. Kies, of Cambria, Hillsdale county,
Mich, has sold to DIR. w. s. Hull of Grand
Rapids, Mich, for $1,000, the yearling FLY
by st. Bel, 2:24!, by Electioneer; dam Belle
K. by Masterlode. Mr.. Kies paid 81 200
for Belle K. as yearling, and as this was
her first foal it was quite profitable in
vestment.
Look out for some winners among the
California horses at the Chicago races this
week. Smith, Tom Williams Shippee,
Hearst and Winters all have horses en-
tered for the events of the week.
