stud duties prevent him from active work
! in the trotting arena. Mr.. Gordon is said
] to be willing to let the sensational black
eelding GUY, 2:104, try his speed against
| the famous queen of the Pacific slope. By
the by, would it not be good idea TO give
Guy a special training just to see how fast
he can go and how near he can get to that
famous and apparently unapproachable
2;0S2?
GENERAL NOTES.
Splan has hopes of having Guy. 2:152, in
his string among the other flyers this sum-
mer.
The stallion Whippleton, owned by F.
W. Loeber of ST. Helena, Napa county, died
a week ago. He has left many fine colts.
1t is stated that seyenty-five per cent. of
the trotters and thoroughbred mares in
Kentucky have either slipped their foals or
are barren.
Salisbury's Direct will do no stud duty
this season, but will be prepared for the
track, and his owner expects him to make
a low record.

York He goes by permission of Mr.. Bald
win, to ride for the Avondale stable, at the
early Western meeting.
Rosa Wilkes, 2:1S4, has pretty foal by
Nutwood, 2:1Sa. The average is 2:1S1, but

an improvement on both parents records.

Arrow, granddam by Blackbird 402, record
2:22 great granddam by Lancet.
Last week we mentioned that Mr..
Mackey, the Rancho del Paso superintend-
ent, brought back Roxaline, sister to

folk, Ell Rio Rey, etc. We should have
said Easter, daughter of Roxaline, by
Vicksburg.-Breeder and Sportsman.
Senator Stanford has decided to race his
colt Flambeau in the East this year, but
the rest of his lot will not go East. Flam-
beau will be trained by Matt Allen, who
has charge of Hearst's string and also STAN
fsrd's fast filly Gorgor who races in Hearst's
colors, as Flambeau in all probability will.

Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake, a

The McGinnIs Daisy ID. race at Fresno
last week, mile and a quarter in 2:074,
was a scorcher for the time of the year.
The first mile in 1:41! took the kink out
of the mares neck; in fact, the horse beat
her at the end of the six furlongs. 1t is
noteworthy that McGinnis' dam, Jennie
g., is full sister to Daisy D.-Breeder and
Sportsman.
MIR. Shippee is very unfortunate in his
racing this year, remarks the Breeder and
Sportsman. He declared all his three-year-
olds ont of the Blood Horse meeting except
Fellowcharm, by Longfellow, out of
Trinket, and a fortnight ago the colt par
TALLY broke down, and was let up on with
the expectation that he would be all right
again, but unfortunately his first good gal
lop exposed the fallacy. and his turf career
is ended.
The attendance of horsemen at the COM
bination sale of killip &J Co. at the Bay Dis
trict track on Thursday was large, quite
number of Eastern visitors, including John

sentatives of Mambrino Wilkes, consigned
by Irwin Ayers, did not realize the prices
anticipated. Prices ranged all the way
from s., $50 down 20 $50.
