| THE HAGGIN SALE.
John Mackey, Superintendent of J. B.
Haggin's stock farm, Rancho del Paso, will
leave for the East some time about the 1st
of March with about 100 head of fine
blooded trotting stock from that celebrated
breeding establishment This stock will
be sold at auction in New York. Among
this lot will be colts and fillies of such
famous strains as the get of Algona, son of
Almont, by Emma Kincaid; Echo, son of
Eysdiks Hambletonian; Cornelius, son of
Nutwood, by an Echo mare; Albert w. a
| great-son of Electioneer and of mares, the
progeny of Maybelle, the sister of Beauti-
! fol Bells. Stock of such high breeding and
distinguished lineage ought to bring fancy
| prices in New York, even under the ham,
| mer. There is not much doubt however,
that Mr.. Haggin will have plenty of bid
ders, for his sales have usually been very
successful.
THE BENTON TRADE MARK"
| The Chicago HorSenld1a, in an article on
the transmitting powers of sires. pays
compliment to the stallion Tom Benton,
| owned by James L. McCerd of this city. 1t
says: The late Harry Clay put his trade
mark on the majority of his get in the form
of sprinkling of white hairs about the
coronet. This popularity of white mark
ings is feature with the General Bentons,
or rather the descendants of Jim Scott.
Jefferson Prince, full brother to General
Benton, put his mark on his progeny in
the form of triangles, crescents and dots,
| regardless of position. General Benton did
the same, and his sons are observed TO have
the faculty. The markings on the chestnut
mare Winona, by Jefferson Prince, and
those on the chestnut mare Mary Lou, by
Tom Benton, are IDENTICAL
SON OF ELEcTIoNEER.
Among the horses that take turn out
South every day. says the Chicago Horse
man, those that frequent the roads recog
nize the Electioneer four-year old Elect
wood, with Charles Stiles holding the reins.
He is srnooth-going young horse, and
| will be out for the money after his season.
| In conversation with his owner few days
ago he told why he put some money in the
| get of Electionesr. "a few years ago." he
said, II bought three Sultan colts and sent
! them to Kentucky. While they were eat
| ing their heads off Marvin came over with
a stable of Electioneers, Manzanita being
in the party. l played against her couple
of times, and when she came back again
the following year, it looked to me as if
Patron could throw her down in st. Louis.
You know the result. Palo Alto also
made it interesting for me when he de-
| feated G. f. Clay, Charley Hogan. Albert
France and Libby S. 1 was advised to take
| my money out, but could not believe that
a four-year old could upset such a field.
Now know different, and have horse |
think pretty well of, by the same SIRE"
| GENERAL NOTES.
An Eastern turf journal says that with
the blood of Green Mountain Maid and
| Miss Russell united in his veins, Fleetwood
should prove one of the best representa-
tives of Electioneer, and fast enough to win
money in the big ring, where his owner is
well known. He is booked for the 2:30 list
next season.
Had Bell Boy lived through this season
| his stud fees would have left balance of
| 81 900; $5i 900 was given for him and his
| fees would have amounted to SCI GOO.
Morton, who rode for Palo Alto until the
| last Blood Horse meeting, will ride in the
coming season for Senator Hearst's Western
| contingent.
| An Eastern contemporary says the best
matched team in New YORK State is prob
ably the one in Matt Byrnes stable at Mon
mouth, which B. A. Haggin took from Cal
| iforria.
orrin Hickok is enjoying the best of
health. 1t is his intention to go East this
year with a strong stable of trotters and
PAGERS, including Adonis.
Matt Storm is still suffering from the
effects of injuries received in railroad acci-
dent in 1888. The suit brought by him
against the railroad company for damages
| is still in the Courts.
! The owners of nine stations have sig
nified their purpose to w. P. Balch, of
Boston, to start in the $4,000 stallion race
should he decide to go ahead with the pro-
ject.
Johnny Taylor, formerly of Sacramento,

When DR.. H. C. Wann, manager of
Claireview Farm, near Detroit. Mich, was
visiting the Allen Farm, Pittsfeld. Mass,
recently, he made an offer of $50 600 for the
| two-year-old bay colt Electric 10,s7S full
brother to Sphinx, 2:2S), by Eectioneer,
dam Sprite by Belmont; second dam
Waterwitcb, by Pilot, j., but was informed

Judson e. Clark, OF Elmira, n. Y, re-
| fused a bona fide offer of 100000 for the
great Bell Boy, few days before he was
| burned to death. The income from the
horse this year would have been S32 500.
Breeder and Sportsman Six thorough
bred foals already ct Palo Alto speaks
volumes for the careful management exer-
cised by Superintendent Henry Walsh.
