That the report should prove true would be
gratifying in itself, but the restless ambi-
ton of the leading military men of the
Russian empire and their enterprise in
regions where conflict might be provoked
at any time suggest the doubt whether
even the mighty czar could prevent the
possibility on grand scale. The exist

good many languages. He is one of the
most accomplished diplomatists of the
age.

TEN YEARS HENCE,
ALLERTON, 2:IO.
[From western Sportsman.

On last Friday the great son of Jay
Bird went against the worlds stallion
trotting record at independence, Ia, at
no stated meeting, but at matinee given
by G.. w. Williams, the owner of the
great king, and won in honors full of
glorious fame. 1t was no great surprise
TO the reading public, for his many trials
have been very close to the mark within
the past few weeks. Although Allerton
holds the record, yet Nelson equalled
his performance over the same track dur
ing one of the greatest meetings that
eyer was held. but it did not stand from
the fact that he did not notify starters
and Judges that he was going for rec
ord. However, it goes to show that the
new king does not hold any superiority
over the dethroned, in point of speed.
He will have to watch his crown with a
vigilant eye, for there is no telling just
at what moment the descendant of old
Pocohontas. PIN, will cause the wires
to again herald his victory, reclaiming
the golden crown. Nelson egualling his
record at Independence, when we con-
slider his drivers overweight, must in
any sane mans mind, be equal to or bet
ter than that of Allerton's, with the
difference in weight in favor of the lat
/ y
wonderful horses, and descendants from
two almost separate families. Allerton
was sired by Jay Bird (son of George
Wilkes, and out of a mare by Mambrno
Boy (son of Mambrino Patchen) sec
ond dam by George Wilkes; third dam
by imp. CONSERVATION, thoroughbred.
Nelson was sired by Young Rolfe, and
out of Gretchen, dam of Susie Owen 2 :2G,
| by Gideon, 1l5, (son of Hambletonian 10,
out of a mare by Young Engineer; sec
ond dam by Black Hawk. The latter
has done more to harmonic breeders and
admirers of the horse than any stallion
that ever lived. Through him there will
be great out-crOss for the Wilkes and
other families. While these two stallion
kings are champing their bits and cycling
one another out of the corner of theil
ewes, it will not do to overlook the fact
that there are other dangerous compete
tors in the field for first honors. In Cali
fornia we find STEAMBOAT 2:ll. and Pale
Alto PAPA, that may in the next few
weeks do wonders in the speed kingdom
Then as we come this way we find Pa
Downing , :l34, in Wisconsin, new
wonder of the Toe Downing family, tina
has right by Inheritance TO 90 in and be-
stallion king. Charleston 10, and Bon
ME Wilmore, = :l4i, are new ones on thu
field of battle. both kentuckians by birth
The former is by the great Bourbon
Wilkes. He is considered one of tn,
greatest race horses out this year, a
well as one of the speediest. The latte
is by Wilmore, son of Strathmore, out o
mare by Bonnie Scotland, another stal
lion of great speed and merit 1t will b,
pretty hard to say just which one of thes
great stations will go into winter quar-
tiers with the trotting crown.

ALLERTON AND DIRECT.

At matinee held at the Independence
driving park, today says an lndepend-
ence, Ia, dispatch of Sept. to the
Western Sportsman, the greatest sport
in the way of light harness perfor-
mances that the world has eyer
seen were witnessed by those attending.
Several noted horses were started against
records, among them being the Utah
stallion Incas, who trotted the mile in
2:l4t.
Pat Downing, a bay stallion, by Abe
Downing, trotted in 2:l3a, and his full
brother, ChrOnometer, paced in 2;l9d.
The mare Nightingale paced mile in
2l3i.
Longitude, bay stallion by Osmon,
covered the distance in 2:194.
Several other horses entered the 80
list, but they were only prelminaries to
the phenomenal performances that
were to follow
At 6 80 the great 5-year-old stallion
Allerton appeared, and as his owner and
driver, c. W. Williams, climbed into the
sulky the stallion could hardly be re-
strained, so anxious did he appear to be
off in his contest against time. At the
second score he was given the word. and
he covered the distance to the first quar-
ter in 32i, past the half he sped in :054
the three-quarter pole was reached in
l rs, and then as he came down the
stretch those who knew his game quail
tiles were satisfied in the next few sec,
onds the stallion crown would be trans
ferred from the great Nelson to the
premier stallion of Rush Park. On he
came with the runner at his wheel, Will
Jams never lifting his whip until passing
the distance stand, then he taps the stall
lion once or twice land he rushes under the
wire in 2:l0, beating the worlds pre-
vious stallion record three-quarters of Q
second Most of the watches in the
hands of outsiders made the mile IL
2 :09i. Williams and the stallion were
given three rousing cheers as he drove
back to the stand. Great as the above
performance was, another sensation was
to follow.

BLUE BULL AND HAMBLETONlAN
THE RELATIVE MERITS OF THESE TWO
GREAT TROTTING PRoGENITORS
DISCUSSED.
III. S. Mem. in Clark's Horse Review. !

II. s. Mem. in Clarks Horse Review.
] was much interested in your very
just tribute to Blue Bull and his family
edtorially in the Review recently. In
that article you gave him credit for near
ly all claimed by the friends of this great
family, which Is considerably more than
is credited to him in the Year Book
Enclosed find circular written by my
self, in which | would call your attention
TO the portion headed, "Blue Bull and
producers of trotters," but more particu-
larly to, "Hambletonian and Blue Bull
Compared"
In this card you will notice we have
adhered strictly to figures furnished by
the Year Book instead of the figures Civ
en- in the Western Sportsman and other
papers.
While this comparison, or any other
that can be devised, can detract any from
the great Hambletonian, this comparison
allowed by the Year Book is certainly a
sumner to the detractors of the wonder
full Blue Bull and his produce.
BLUE BULL AND HIS PRODUCE.
Blue Bull was kept a stallion because
being a ridgling he could not safely be
castrated. He was foaled in 1854, passed
through several hands and was installed
as teaser for Spanish jack on the farm
of James Wilson, where, in 1867, he
broke away and served the mare then
being tried. The produce was Purity
80 at four years. Up to the time Pur.
ity made her record in 1871, Blue Bull
being despised PAGER, had not served
over fifteen mares, less than one year
up to the age Of seventeen. His stud
