that four CENTRES ago more attention
| was paid to hOrsesii0eing than at the
! present time. The Duke Of Albany and
! the Earl of Mar, sons of James III. of
| Scotland, procured an act of parlia-
ment which made the pricking of a
horse highly punishable, and similar
enactments were made in England.
And yet the casual pricking of horse
through the misdirection or niSguid-
ance of an occasional nail is nothing to
the gross use of the pairing knife, the
ignorant and free use of the rasp, and
worst of all, the application Of half
shaped shoe at white heat to abunch of
blood vessels and nerves rendered ex-
ceedingly sensitive by the pairing off of
the horn or the natural protection by
the system alluded to.
1t is understood that Senator Hearst
is going into the breeding business ex-
tensively. He has never bred many
horses, always buying his racing stable,
but he lately purchased the Valentine
ranch, near the VaIensin and Pleasan-
ton farms, and it is said that the senator
will stock the place with th0roughbreds
and begin breeding on somewhat sim
liar scale to his friend and business
partner, Mr.. Haggin. There are now
quite a number Of brood mares on his
San Simeon ranch. and these will
shortly be brought to the Pleasanton
place. The number is to be greatly
augmented by California mares Of the
best breeding, and in few years more
! the senator will be in the auction ring
with his yearlings.
Record smashing has become so fash
ioAable at the Sheepshead Bay track
that it is beWildering. Salvatore per-
Torrance last Wednesday will not be
forgotten for generation. Then in the
Spring Stakes for tWo-Year-oldS last
Thursday Strathmeath boWled over
crackajacks ana went the Futurity
course, which is about fifty yards less
than three-Quarters of mile, in / :09 2-5.
That's not all. That grand old mare
FirenZi, conspicuous in scores of mighty
battles on the turf, had her innings, and
what she did was fitting supplement
to Salyator's wonderful performance.
FirenZi knocked a second off the mile
and a half record in the race for the
| Coney Island Cup, and did it with mar
velouS ease
About Surefoot's losing the Derby the
prevailing opinion in England seems to
be that his temper was the whole cause.
He was ordered to be sent off slow, and
the result of restraining him was that
he took to biting at all of his competl-
tors within reach, and when the time
came for him to stretch himself ne was
in such suks that he wouldn't gallop at
all. The neXtmeeting between him and
the other cracks win be at the Leicester
meeting on July 6 and7.
The Montana circuit of 1889 was a
revelation OF the racing resources of
that marvellous state. 1t attracted the
best class of horses in the mountain
country, and the $50 list attests that
several sturdy and fast campaigners
were brought into public notice during
the Montana series of meetings. The
Montana circuit Of 1890 is of much
greater scope. Sixty thousand dollars
is offered by the FIVE members for trot-
ting, pacing and running races.
Many squabbles have been caused
around race tracks through Snapper"
Garrisonls temper, and it usually in
creaSes IN erratic violence as the season
wears on. Snapper" offered the fol-
lowing explanation; This work of
perpetual starvation and training is
enough to make any man a crank. All
] do is to starye myself and listen to the
advice of shoemakers about riding
horse"

that was destroyed at independence,

Wilson, Walker, To-, writes that he has
FLY named Rose Alerton, by Aller-
ton, dam by Mambrino Boy, sire Of Ak

gem in his filly Sallie McClelland. He
paid 81, 800 for her at the dissolution Of
the partnership of Roche 4 McClelland,
John E. Madden being the contending
bidder. Madden bought at this same
sale the black colt Dundee for 1850.

Black Hawk; second dam Nellie Dren-
non, by Herod Tuckahoe.
