 Horse Notes.
 Mir. c. D. Smith, the trainer, who has leased the stable on Orchard street, form erly occupied by Mir. William Nicely has a valuable string of fast horses at his quarters. Among the number is MT. Neely's horses, five in number as follows: The pair, Rocket 2.294 and Gerold S:34t. The fast pacer, Monkey Rolla 2:154, who has won eight races this season. The promising young bay horse, Sunlight by Twilight. This horse was purchased in Kentucky by MT. Nelly about year ago, since which time the horse has been at the Hiram Woodruffs training stable at the Concord stock farm in Massachusetts Another of Mr. Neely's trotters is Leta, by Kentucky Prince, the sire of Guy 2:104, and several others with records better than 2:2O.
 Daisy M., is the name of gray mare that has been placed in MT. Smiths hands for development. This young horse was quite speedy before MT. Smith took her, but has increased her speed in MT. Smiths care so that she is much faster now. She is Hamiltonian- Messenger stock and is owned by New Haven man who expects that his trotter will be able to get very creditable record next season.
 In speaking about this trotter, MT. Smith stated that he hoped to see some sleighing so that he can show her speed on Whalley avenue at the sleighing carni- yals that are held there whenever the sleighing is good.
 Another horse at the stables is Ben R. whose pedigree indicates that great work may be expected from him. Ben R. was sired by the famous Sultan, sire of the more famous Stamboul that has made several very fast records and recently got the remarkable record of 2:11. The dam of Ben R. has two representatives in the 2:30 list.
 Another horse in the string is Jimmy Wilkes by George Wilkes jr.
 Still another is a bay horse that is so fast that MT. Smith hopes that good sleighing will give him an opportunity to show the speed of the trotter on the snow. Libby Whips is the name of very promising young lilly that until recently has been at Trainer Smiths stable. Libbie Whips was sired by Whips, the sire of Navidad, that in his four-year- old form, during the past summer, has made such creditable showing. The full pedi- gree of this two year old Ally is as follows: Sired by Whips, by the celebrated Elec- tioneer. The dam of Whips was Lizzie Whips. The dam of the Ally was Amrah by Nutwood, 2.188, sire of a long string of representatives in the 30 list.
 Libbie Whips is owned by MT. Frank P. Clark, who has recently refused a long price for his very promising youngster. Bridgeport horsemen and others have had considerable talk over race that did | not come off, and it is quite likely that some litigation will result from the match | race that was not decided. Definite par | ticulars are not positively known about the match, but from what has been learned | about the affair it is evident that the facts
 are about as follows: Henry Carterson o1 Bridgeport is the owner of black mare
 that is very fast, particularly for a long
 distance on the road. According to the match the mare was to trot over the road wager of $250 side, or $500. J. H. Tut
 hill, who backed the time, and MT. Carter
 son, who bet on his horse, deposited $5(
 each with MT. Lundon. The horse was tt
 accomplish the feat prior to date whicl
 was about December 5.
 Those interested in the race have recent
 ly learned that several days before tn
 time limit expired MT. Carterson gave hi
 horse private trial in order to ascertain
 her speed for the specified distance. H
 drove her thirty miles in three hours an,
 fifteen minutes, which was most remark
 able performance, but was not sufficient t.
 win. After the expiration of the time flo
 the race MT. Tuthill demanded the forfei
 money, which was paid over to him on tn
 ground that the horse had not won tn
 race. Now it appears that MT. Carterso
 takes a different view of the matte,
 claiming that as he did not attempt to wi
 the forfeit money should be drawn by bot
 depositors, and he has demanded his par of the forfeit money of MT. Lundon, wh did not pay it, as he had already given th forfeit to MT. Tuthill. Mr. Carterson he
 caused an attachment for the amount to
 placed on MT. Lundon's property.
 The match made so much talk that Mi
 Middlebrook, agent of the Connection
 Humane society, kept watch of the affai
 in order to prevent any alleged cruelty t
 animals. According to rumor the mar
 was completely exhausted after her tris
 trip. What will be the result of the al
 tachment suit for the forfeit is not known
