New Haven Gentlemen Inspecting
 Trotters and Pacers.
 A number of New Haven gentlemen had pleasant outing yesterday. Henry L. Cowell, G. Edward Osborn, Frank L.New- ton, c. M. Stevens, B. T. Buel, William H. Sears and Henry Coweu composed the par ty who slghted from the train at South 1ngton, where they met MT. M. B. Wilcox, who gave the visitors an invitation to in spect his horses. On arriving at the com modious stables MT. Wilcox called on his trainer to show the trotter Fanny Wilcox, 2:194. At Hartford last spring Fanny Wilcox won the 2:30 race in three straight heats, and dropped her record to 2:20t. She also won first money at Providence and second money at Boston.
 At Springfield, in the opinion of many, she won the race, but did not receive first money by an adverse decision of the judges. She made her fast race at Phila- delphia, where she trotted in 2:194, 2:19a and 2:194, winning first money, $1,250. The trotter is entitled to great credit for 8 race record of three heats better than 2:20. Fannie Wilcox is six years old and was sired by Jerome Eddy, 2:161, dam Eve mont by Piedmont by Almont.
 The sire of Jerome Eddy was Louis Ma poleon.
 One of MT. Wilcox's horses is Lizement, 2:234, pacer seven years old and full sis ter to Fanny Wilcox. These two horses are to be shipped to the home of Jerome Eddy at the JJewett stock farm at Buffalo, N. Y, where they are to pass the winter and have their exercise on the covered track. They are to be candidates for Grand Circuit honors next season.
 Another valuable horse owned by MT. Wilcox is Quoddy that can both trot and pace, but the latter is his fastest gait. He made his first mile at pacing in 2:30. Mir. to see this horse trot very fast at some future day. Quoddy was sired by Rochester, he by Aberdeen, by Hamil- tonian 10. Evemont is the dam of all of MT. Wilcoxs horses shown to the visitor.
 Another in the same string is Jennie, four years old, sired by Sherman, 2:2344 by George Wilkes, 2:22. The dam of Sherman was Belmont, the sire of Nut wood, PISA.
 The youngest in the string is colt six teen months old that has not yet acquired track name, but for the present is called Booser, and was sired by Judge Holcomb, son of Jerome Eddy. The sire of the dam of Judge Holcomb was Happy Thought, by Happy Medium, by Hamil- tonian 10.
 Booser is perfectly broken to harness and can show very promising gait.
 MT. Wilcox, who is vice-president of the Peck, Stowe &1 Wilcox company, has good reason to be proud of his stable of horses, an unusual showing for the produce of one dam.
 This large stable is nearly new and is conveniently arranged. All the stalls are box stalls and open in the rear into large paddock, in which the horses can exer- else.
 c. M. Parker, who trains the horses named, is the owner of the stallion Che shire Boy (2:39D, sired by Buckingham, he by Hamiltonian 10. Cheshire Boy is six years old and started in the 800 and 2:5O classes this fall at Meriden, where he won first money in both races.
 After an excellent dinner at the Bradley house with the accompanying wine and cigars, the party returned to this city well pleased with the days outing.
