GENERAL NOTES.
Bonita, Mr.. Baldwin'S cast of a few
years ago, is said 10 be rounding too again
in great shape.

attempt to repurchase Iroquois (who car
ried his colors so nobly in England) when
the Belle Meade sale takes place
| The Kern Californian saws that work has
| been commenced on the Pinety acre tract,
north OF the railroad, which Mr.. Haggin
has determined TO use for q race-track and

sary sheds, stables, etc.

open market, when bred in the East. the

The fast 'rotting gelding Thapsin (2:213),
which had won many race in this city,
was shot Oh the 9th at the Bay District
Track. Ever since his last race, on No.
vemoer 8, 1889, the poor horse has been
suffering, and E. H. Miller, Jr., his owner,
ordered hlm TO be destroyed All of the
veterinaries who had examined Thapsin
pronounced him past aid, and his destruc-
ticn was simply an act OF mercy.
Oid N0Ffolk (2S) is as lively as can be
aid ieecs we'll but is practically impotent.
Marion is quite youthful in appearance
a''3 is typical, looking brood mare, the
only thing being that there are few of so
elSh q tyne. 1t seems almost shame and
IS any how risky spec. transplanting g lot
OF oldlsh mares from Sacramento's sunny
plains to Nevada's chilly hills and dales.-
Breeder and Sportsman.
Senator Stanford, according to telegram
from Washington, has expressed willing
ness to match Palo Alto against any trotter
in the United States.
Referring to Theodore Winters recent
loss OF his Hooker Marian colt, the New
ork Spirt says lit is a great loss, as
Winters oil ~
for great prices.n
On April 1st entries are due for the So
lano and Napa Associations s stakes, and as
the fame of the Napa track is well known
1t is presumed that the entry list will be a
large one.
Henry Ray. the Western Jockey, has
signed to ride the coming season for David
Waldo, at salary of 5000. Ray was
ruled off at Louisville in September last.
The Turf, Field AID Farm says Senator
Stanford was asked the other day if he
would put price on Palo Alto, 2l24, by
Elecuoneer, out of Dame Winnie, thor
piled 'Palo Alto is not for sale | pro-
pose keeping him for stock horse We
shall look for Palo Alto to trot to faster
record this season. Were the stallion in
the market he could be sold for 500 OOOn
The scare over Ell Rio Rey's health aris-
ing from the report that he showed signs
OF great exhaustion after his trip from
Westchester to Nashville turns out to be
uncalled for. The colt is moving at Nash
VILE aud although, OF course, he has done
no great work, he seems well and full of
spirit. Whether his wind is touched, can
hardly be told before he has gallop.
Charles w. Ably, manager of F. Geb-
hard's Gurnoc Stud, Middletown. Cal, has
sent his chestnut colt Pod ,,.-o ,,ooxn
by Rutherford, dam Leveret, by Lever, to
Jerome Park, where Pincus will probably
handle and develop him for his engage
ments, which include the Junior Champion
and Futurity. The colt is very promis-
ing one. He has the type of the Aerolite-
Observation-Disclosures family.
Robert Bonner offers Marvin 81 900 if he
will have Sunol lower the record of Maud
5. the coming summer. Marvin has as
sured Mr.. Bonner that Sunol would have
surely trotted in 2:091 last fall if the rains
had not been so continuous but it is bis
belief that this year Sunol will be queen of
the turf and the record of Maud s. a mat
ter of history only.
Mr.. Boots who lately purchased B.utus
from Palo Alto will use him in the stud,
but may possibly race him this fall Brutus

2UOo guineas in 1870, and went 10 the post
for the Derby with Fordham up al 20

Teardrop, is by Scottish Chief.
1t is worthy of note that Harold was nine
years old when be got Maud s., 2:OSa,
while Electioneer was seventeen when he
sired Sunol, 2:10! Harry Wilkes, the fast
est of the George Wilkes breed was among
the first ofhis sire's get as was also Ax;eIl,

In the same line brood mares follow stall
lions, some dropping their beet foals eariy
IN life, while others only show up promi-
nent when their days are neatly over.
Dan McCarty and his partner, Richards,
have sold the stallion Bay Rose to Allen
Mayhem and Ira Pierce for 20,0O0
The races al Fresno last week were not
very well attended, owing to the rain.
Some of the colts showed up well, however.
