On recent visit to Agricultural Parl
REcoSD UNION reporter was shown thre,
of J. L. McCofSa's promising young horses
First was Ned Wiuslow (2:10, looking il
good shape, with his coat shining like 6
piece of satin. Ned is years old and Mr.
McCord expects him to lower his record
| during the fall circuit.
In an adjoining stable was Mary Lou
years old, beautiful mare, with a
record of 2:254, from which she will no
doubt clip several seconds this year. She
is large, well-muscled animal, and very
strongly resembles her half brother,
Winslow.
Mr.. McCord has also in training hand.
some colt, years old, which he calls Shy
lock Benton. The colt has no record as
yet but will be apt to make some of the
green ones hustle this fall when they
come against him in the 2:3O list.
This youngster has shown some
remarkably fast halves and quarters
in his work this spring.
This trio OF trotters are all by Mr. Nc
Cords horse Tom Benton, by Palo Altos
General Benton, and out of David Hill
mares, and their owner is justly proud of
them.
ROSE S AUSTRALIAN PURCHASES
On board the steamer Alameda that ar.
rived last week from Sydney were seven
thoroughbred mares of Australian breed
ing that Captain Thomas B. Merry pur-
chased in Australia for L. J. Rose. The
mares made the voyage in good shape, con-
sidering the long trip. The importation is
the largest ever made from Australia to the
United States. The blood that courses
through the veins of these mares is the
most valued of the Australian lines. The
Musket family is the most noted in the
antipodes, and Yattendon is a famous sire.
SOME FAMOUS PAGERS.
Some horses, like some men, have great
ness thrust upon them" says an exchange,
but PAGERS have always been an exception
to this trueism. The sidewheeler has al
ways been looked upon as of plebian
origin, and any honors enjoyed were dearly
earned. Gibson's or MoOre's Tom Hal
stood the greater part of his life at fee of
SO, and Little Brown jug was sold for $25.
The great Brown Hal, whose present value
is almost beyond price, was sold for $56 80,
part OF the sum being paid in wheat and
peas
THEODORE WINTERS HoPsEs.
The Winters horses were shipped from
Nashville to st. Louis Monday, June 81.
letter from that place states that Ell Rio
Rey and Joe Courtney worked mile and
a quarter one day in good time, the former
beating the latter under a pull. Ell Rio
Rey whistled at terrible rate. He is still
high in flesh and in no way near a race
Key del Rey and Average worked half to-
gether on the same day, the former finish
ing first. The correspondent thinks him
one of the best two-year. olds he ever saw.
EFFECT OF THE GLORIOUS CLIMATE
peculiar case has just come to light
from the Aptos ranch says the Breeder
and Sportsman. Adolph Spreckels reports
that last year two youngsters were turned
loose in paddock, one FLY ten months
old, and the other horse colt eleven
months old. The result is shown in the
fact that the filly has foal at her side and
she is only little over twenty. one months
old. The foal is fine one, perfect in all
ways, and is natural trotter Who can
beat this for extreme youthfulness in both
sire and dam.

General Turner was not satisfied with
| the record he made tor Suisun, 2:254, SO to
see what he could do with the mare, gave
her gentle "breather" on Saturday last

ated the distance in 2:l91. From present

Henry Walsh of Palo Alto has sold Rim
| fax to Williams & Ramsey for $1,000, and
the big two-year- old left for the East at
| once. This sale cleans out the Palo Alto
| thoroughbreds of any note, and Walsh s
| occupation is like Othello's. The stable
| still has a number OF youngsters on the
grass. but they are all green and untried,
and most of them are unpromising.
"Still," says Henry, "1'll get 'em up and
work 'em a little for the fall. l might find
diamond in the lot; can't tell.''
