1t will be seen that the so called

A new trotting horse register has
been started, the first volume of which

b. Dunton editor Of Dunton's Spiri
Of the Turf. The rules for registration
are:
First. Any stallion, PAGER or trottel
that has made record of ESQ of better
Second. Any mare that has pro-
d deed q PAGER or trOtter that hal
made record Of 2.30 or better. THE
dam of Col. Bruce, 2 30, can be register

Third. Any stallion that has sirei
a PAGER or trOtter that has made a rec
ord of 2.30 or better.

any plug bronco mare. II bred to .

colt that would make q record Of 2.3O
and by rule the bronco mare 40 vel
