 NAMING HORSES. A horse owner who has no better idea O naming horses than to appropriate for hi horse the name of the illustrious sire O. trotters George, Wilkes, recently gave thu name to his horse and started him in race in an eastern circuit meeting. Tn, horse was very properly distanced which prevented him from winning any part ot the purse If the horse should drop dead there are scores of horsemen who would say, served the owner right for taking tn name of the dead sire.
 | John H. Dillon, who has recently pnr chased three young horses, has named on | of them Messenger Star," which is yer. good title; and another John J. Toole, 1 but he did not get to be prominent as his horses with the title of "Home Mad SJ,@a pxx,1,t Had fnr n | other reason than that when Mir. Dillo first saw the horse in an obscure loealit | in New York state he was wearing a set o | home made shoes. One of the New Have horsemen who frequently selects pleasin
 names for horses is John B. Judd, tn
