other sire. He is now fifteen years
old and has thirty-eight of his get in
the list. This is wonderful showing
and the success of Egbert calls atten-
ton to the fact that he is an inbred
Hambletonian, being by the old horse
himself and out of mare by Messen-
ger Duroc, son of Hambletonian."
"A well-knOwn driver, in speak
ing of the early training of one of our
most noted trotters, says: Anything
he displayed alarm at, L always drove
him up to, and let him examine I'M
til all his fear was gone" Here is
the secret of the perfect family and
safe driver. Let it become familiar
with every object it shys or starts at.
When 1t shows fear, never use the
associated with that object. Iu fact,
teach the colt what you want it to
know, and nothing more. At all
times let it know there is friend in
the carriage. Don't break the colts,
but educate them.
The New York Sportsman reads
trainers a good lesson on overwork-
ing their horses. 1t cites the case OF
Edgemark. 2:l6, in confederation of
its theory that a really fast hOrs g
wants but little work when being
trained only for an exhibition heat.
Previous to his mile in 2:l6 as four
year-old at Lexington, Edgewark
was driven but three miles in. $50 or
better, and that, after a large season
in the stud. Before he left Boston,
Edgemark went mile and repeated
in 2:30, 2:27, and after reaching Lex
ington trotted mile in 2:192, start
ing two days later to beat that mark,
which he did very handsomely by
doing the distance in 2:16, with the
greatest ease.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Last Wednesday meeting of the
stock breeders of Maury county was
held here to discuss the question of
memOrializing the legislature to make
the standing of stud horses priVl-
lege and impose tax on the same.
the meeting was largely attended
and the matter was discussed at some
length, the opinion being unanimous
in favor of the tax. Tue prevailing
idea seemed to be that the tax should
not be less than $25, and for horses
that stand at larger service lee
than that amount, the tax shall be
! equal to the fee. A committee, con-
sisting of Judge p. NJ. Babcok, Maj.
| Campbell Brown and Sam Warren,
was appointed to present the question
to the legislature and ask the passage
OF some such law. Such q law would
do very much towards building up
and improving the stock of the
county. About half the studs in this
| county ought to be made geldings OF,
and any move to discourage their
staying in the stud, is a move in the
right direction.

Ozias, for the coming season. He has

to get a low mark.
