ern Circuit VtctOrs Will Fight FOR the
Laurels of the Year.

as the time is rapidly approaching for
the coming fall meeting. Winners that
have never yet faced the same starter,
| Will meet for q contest at Lexington
This will be the battle ground where the
| victorious canpaignerS on both Eastern
and Western circuits will fight hard for
the laureis OF the year. IN the $4,000
| guaranteed stake there will possibly be
eight OF ten starters. Those that are
eligible, from whom the starters
are to be named, are the follow
ing: Prince Regent, 2:l61I; PIN
LEO, PALSY; Mambriuo Maid, 2:l7l4 :;
Keno F, 2:l7; Alvin, 2:l4is; Mary Mar
shall, 2:l7; McDoel, 2:1714; Pixley 4.
2;l6; Brown, 2:lS3,; Walter +, 2:lSy
j. r. Shedd, 2:l9l4; Jean Vatican,
2:lSl4; Hinder Wilkes, 2:2OIs; Stevie
2:l9; Hendrix, 2:Is3,: AcoIyte, 2:2I.
Any ten out of the above list ought to
furnish an exciting race. Almost any
race this fall will prove an attractive
feature; but another that will bear men
tiouing, on account of the choice field of
which it is composed, is the Bluegrass
stakes for four-year-o ld5. Nancy Hanks,
2:I415, who will be driven in this race by
the great reinsman, Budd Doble, will be
strong tavorite over the entire field;
but the following good ones will be there
eagerly watching for her mistakes:
Bonnie WilmOre, the only colt that ever
beat Nancy Hanks a heat; Matte II
(full sister to Geneva S, 2:l9lD. whose
performance this year hGs been very
creditable; Glenview Belle, the fast
daughter of Nutwood, whose speed limit
is believed to be much lower than public
performances have shown; the black
gelding Gillette, by Cyclone, whose
races have shown him to possess
GREAT STAYING QUALITIES.
and the roam FLY Twist, by Jay Bird,
who defeated Il field of twelve in nIne-
heat race at Baltimore last fall, trotting
the last and deciding heat in 2:29I
Bonnie Wilmore will possibly finish near
est to Nancy's wheel, with Matte II
next. In the race in which Nancy
Hanks made her record of 2:I4l5, Bon
ME Wilmore was timed separately in 2:lG
and Matte II in 2:l7.
The fact that the Kentucky trottiug
horse breeders association has just re-
solved to let "tIn cup'' records be made
over their track according to the old way
which is in direct opposition TO thesi
rulings recently adopted and published
by j. II. Wallace, proprietor of the
Wallace Register company, is creating a
deal of interest among horsemen. His
late standard stake' pl Is the one
he wants all associations TO adopt in the
place of letting horses go for a record
against the watch. He refuses to regis
ter horses who became and stand by per-
torrance. if their record was made against
the watch and not in regu-
lar race or such race as is
provided for in his rules for standard
stakes. 1t is thought that the Kentucky
breeders are taking a bold step, and the |
result will be looked forward to with at
great deal of an iety, not only by holss-
men directly interested, but by asseGia- |
tons
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
This week the directors of the Ken |
lucky trotting horse breeders assocla-
ton determined upon the condi- |
tons for the $40, 900 stallion rep
resentative stake. The amount is to |

colts, fillies and geldings (the get of stall
lions that may be nominated in this
5take), to trot as three-year-olds at the
fall meeting of 1898, mile heats, three in
five, to harness. On December l , 1890,
the stallion whose get may be
come eligible to start must be nomi-
mated, and any stallion, even if dead,
that hes colts foaled in 1890 is eligible
Ten days prior to race On 1899 the colts
must be named, and there NAV be as
many colts by one sire started as there
ire different owners, but no person can
De interested in more than one starter.
The association guarantees the stake
worth not less than $40 900, except for
yalBover, in which case winner will re-
,eive the whole of amount paid in. The
guaranteed amount $50, O0O) Will be
