Over $50 applications for the service

not an exaggerated belief that Alcan-
tara's fee might have been made much
larger this season, with still successful
results.
A new way Of shoeing has been
tried this year upon the chestnut
gelding Golden Rod, 2 :194, by Alcyone,
with apparently successful results. He
has been very rough-gaited, and to
remedy this defect every shoe was
made of different weight, under the
influence of which his gait is very
level.

2 :2O4, (full brother TO Guy, 2:108D
after long rest through all of last
season, has been sent to the stable of

one of the winning campaigners in
the 2 20 class this year.

class in straight heats; best time,
2 :249 This performance adds 10 the
glory OF Electionccr, for it goes to
show that the daughters of the dead
sire are going to be producing dams.

rated in the bylaws: "Any PAGER
otherwise eligible may be admitted

rules of the Association, of 2:25 or
better"

icles the death Of the stallion Mont
gomory, , ;2lR, owned by Smith Bros,
lie was the only stallion in Michigan
with the exception of Pilot Medium,
out Of a mare with three in the list.
His owners had several times refused
offers Of $4,000 for him, and his
lcath will be quite loss to the horse
interest of Michigan.
"Uncle" Jack Hook, of Lexington,
packs up pretty good opinion of the
'alue of Cyclone as a sire of speed by
he following stiff challenge: A match
or a yearling, a two-yoar.old, a three
'car-old, four-year-old and five
'ear-old against any five Of similar
'ge, the get of one stallion, for $4,000.
'Unclc" Jacks entries in the pro-
'osed match will of course be the get
If Cyclone, and he was confident he
would win all five of the races.
