NEW YORK, March IA.
In chronicling Dame Fashions latest
caprices, II Is difficult to find descriptive
adjectives which will do justice to the
grace and beauty of some of the spring
novelties. The materials as we have al
ready noted are particularly attractive.
and the trimmings are richer than ever,
while the style of gowns and wraps is in
many cases so picturesque, that even a
plain woman can acquire a temporary
beauty by means of her toilette. Except
for the travelling and early morning wear
the new costumes are quite elaborate,
with their unique shapes and ornate gar
niture OF laces, embroidery, ruflies and
ruches. In short, all those dainty access
ories which are so especially feminine,
and TO the majority of women is much
more becoming than simplicity of style.
In the new Redferu wraps designed for
calling, receptions and theatre wear, this
is very noticeable, macy of them being
composed of fancy silkcn fabrics-a new
departure for Redfern, whose great spe-
cialty hitherto has been the coats and
gowns of cloth and other wooden stuffs.
1t must be admitted, however, that he is
as successful in creating these Frencby
frivolities as in his own line.

Nate Johnson will handle DR.. L. and

DR.. Schwarz of Canton will have one or
| two OF his promising youngsters de-
veloped this year.
Geo. II. Ketcham of Toledo has decided
to breed I,lla H., 2:2S%, by Socrates, To
| Robert McGregor (2:l74)
Wallace wants $4,000 for his Trotting
| Register. The National Association will
| give him 100000, which is enough.
The Defiance, o., fair directors have de-
| cided to have races June g., 10 and IL.
Canton ought to have June meeting.
A. NJ. Spelman, of Minerva, is thinking
seriously Of moving his string 10 Canton
this season, if proper inducements are
offered.
DR.. Newton, of Toledo, says if his four
year-old colt Rally Wilkes by Allie Wilkes
| does not beat 2:20 this year he will feel
very seriously disappointed.
Messrs Cummings q Humphrey, of To
ledo and Trio, say their PAGER by Climber
will beat 2:2O this year or he's seed, and
they will have lots of fun if he do.
DR.. Tip Queen, Salemsyille, O., will
train his colIs the coming season at Car
roliton, O. A "colored gemman" by name
jackson, will otiiciate as assistant super.
intendent.
A company OF young men from Carroll
county,O., including Atty. w. Il. Handley.
are corresponding with G. W. Williams
with view to establishing stock farm
near Rush Park Farm, Independence, la.
John A. Logan, who proposes to sell all
his trotters and trotting stock at the Fa-
sig sale in Cleveland in May, will go to
England and invest in English hackneys.
A man ought to be able TO lose a good
deal of money without much effort in
breeding hackneys in this country.
A. M. Spelman of Minerva has a large
stable OF good ones now. He has six
year old PAGER with a record of 2:2lM, a
trotter with record of 2:32%, and a
number of promising youngsters.
Toledo is organizing for new mile
track, but as yet 10 mostly talk. Canton
is now doing some talking on that sub.
ject.
Keno +. with record of 2:17, was sold
yesterday at Dubuque Iowa TO Boston
party for $4,000. This is a large figure
for a gelding that can't beat his record.
1t would be good idea for our Canton
horsemen to JON the Ohio circuit, and
give Jnne meeting on our half mile
mile track this year. II lease can be
made with the Agricultural society, II
would pay TO improve our track, as ii
is very convenient to the city, and the
electric road runs direct. A June meet
ing here under competent auspices will
pay.
One Of the finest specimens of horse we
have seen recently, Is Ebony Wilkes, by
Ambassador (2:2lI) owned by j. w.
Voglesong of ElyTia. He is 16 hands, coal
black ali over and as handsome as any
horse picture, artist ever conceived. And
then he Is a trotter. We look to see him
beat 2 :25 this year.
