Ben Franklin has another in the
charmed circle Jim Graham said
by him won a race at Baltimore last
week, taking 3D., 4th, and 9Th heats
in 2:26h, 2:27K and 2:2S. This
makes IL more than any Vermont

horse. After Brewster was taken out
of the race the horse Tom Hamilton
was also expelled. These men, the
judges claimed, were che chief instioa-
tors of the fraud in connection with

ed great excitement among hOrsemen
particularly.
The Mirror and Farmer of last
week has the following =
CLAY" well-known New England horse
man, PAID a recent visit to Vermont, and has
this TO say of one of the stables inspected bv
him: I" | called on Tom Utton at Morrisvilie
and found him hard at work as usual. Tom
Tor years was IN partnership with his brother
John, but increase of business demanded
more room, so Tom started for himself,
building large stables beside the one now
occupied by John. Among the many good
ones brought out by Tom is Mambrino Archy
2.24%, and Little Ned , 29H who was the
best money horse in Vermont last season.
Swanton Boy by Star Ethan was driven a
quarter handily in 80 seconds; WilIistOn
= 40 by Deucalion %, brown stallion,
owned by A. W. Webb, Burlington, went
quarter in 37R seconds. Bud Almont. by
Cherokee Chief, son of AlmOnt Eagle, 227,
although two-yeaT-old and only broken
last winter, can show q good three-minute
gait. If this is a sample of Cherokee Chiefs
get, his success in the stud is assured. He is
making the season at this stable The next
one to look at was Stanbridge a chestnut
horse by Vikin, 2.19H; dam Jennie Wilkes.
by Mambrio Wilkes, 2.2S34, owned by VIM
Corey, Manchester, N. II. After his season
closes he will be worked for speed Mamie B.
chestnut mare, by Crompton Lambert, that
can show now quarter in 3512 or SO Sc
conds, and went mile last winter on the ice
good green goods to go away from home
with. The black stallion Scion, bv Glen
Allen, son of Ben Franklin, dam by Modestv
owned by George Wilkins, stowe, is being
worked for record, and can Urot in 40 |
Now was brought out as good a bred horse
as stands for mares in the country ! mean |

son OF George Wilkes, 2.22 dam Lamberta |
by Daniel Lambert; I'd dam Fanny. by |
Young Columbus; Sd dam Fanny Cook |
dam of Daniel Lambert) by Abdallah, and |
lth dam by American Star. just look at |
this for breeding, and when | say .Jinples has |
speed, as his birthright gives him by Inherit
ance, point to the fact that late last fall he |
trotted mile easily in 2 41H. and is faster
a good deal this season. Tom said that
after covering a few mares he would be placed |
IN training. \ number of others that | did |
not have time to look over showed breeding
and good care, and Tom said: | have q |
coming wonder in that lot that the next |
lime you come around | will uncover. but |
IL present L want to experiment little more |
With him.
